Our Verdict

Samsung Odyssey G50A S27AG50

LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B

The LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B and the Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50 are both gaming monitors with similar features. They both have a 1440p resolution with native FreeSync support and a 165Hz refresh rate, but you can overclock the refresh rate to 180Hz on the LG. Motion handling is great on each, and they both have low input lag for gaming, but there are a few differences in other areas. The LG displays a wide color gamut for HDR content, but it doesn't add much because neither deliver a satisfying HDR experience. The LG also has two USB 3.0 inputs, while the Samsung has a USB input for service inputs, but the Samsung has much better ergonomics because you can swivel it.
