Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T
Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70
The Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 is much better than the Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T because it's a higher-end monitor. The S28AG70 has a 4k resolution that delivers sharp text, while the C27G55T has a 1440p resolution. The S28AG70 has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, and the C27G55T has a VA panel with better contrast. They each have a 144Hz refresh rate, but the S28AG70 has much better motion handling thanks to the quicker response time, especially at 60Hz, and it also gets brighter. The S28AG70 has a local dimming feature, which the C27G55T doesn't have, but it doesn't add much because it's terrible.
