Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T
MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD
The Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T and the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD are both gaming monitors that are different in a few ways. The Samsung uses a VA panel and is available in a 27-inch or 32-inch size, while the MSI uses an IPS panel and is only available in a 27-inch. If you want better dark room performance, go with the Samsung because it can produce much deeper blacks. It has a higher refresh rate as well. The MSI isn't as good for dark rooms due to its IPS panel's mediocre contrast, but it provides wider viewing angles and has USB-C input.
