Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70
Samsung Odyssey G50A S27AG50
The Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50 sits below the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 in Samsung's lineup, so they have different features. The S28AG70 is a 4k monitor with a 28-inch screen, 144Hz refresh rate, and its HDMI 2.1 inputs are better for console gaming. However, the S27AG50 has a 1440p resolution, 27-inch screen, and a faster 165Hz refresh rate. They both have a fast response time at their max refresh rate, but the S27AG50 has a faster response time at 60Hz. The S27AG50 also gets brighter and has better reflection handling, so it's a better choice for a bright room. However, the S28AG50 displays clearer text thanks to the higher pixel density, and it displays more accurate colors.
