About this deal

Windows ClearType (top photo) helps with diagonal lines, like on the R and N, but it can make vertical lines look slightly thinner.

The MSI is also flicker-free at all brightness levels, while the Samsung flickers at lower brightness levels.Its matte anti-reflective coating does a good job of diffusing bright reflections; however, visibility can still be an issue in well-lit environments due to the monitor's low brightness. Because it only flickers at 144Hz, there's noticeable image duplication with lower frame rate signals.

The Samsung Odyssey G5/G55A S27AG55 is a bit better than the model it replaces, the Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T. It isn't bright enough to make highlights stand out in HDR content, and just like in SDR, the 2% window is dimmer, meaning small highlights don't stand out. The LG uses an IPS panel that provides wider viewing angles, while the Samsung uses a VA panel that produces deeper blacks for a better dark room viewing experience. It's a little darker on the right edge of the screen, but thankfully, it isn't that noticeable, and there's almost no visible dirty screen effect.The response time at 60Hz is terrible, and the smearing is even worse than with the higher refresh rates. Due to bandwidth limitations, the max refresh rate is limited when you send a 10-bit signal, so you need to send an 8-bit signal to get full use of this monitor, but that results in more banding. times the pixel density of Full HD, WQHD resolution boasts incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images, along with HDR10 a kaleidoscope of shades brings game scenes to life more vibrantly than ever before. This was bought as a birthday present and as I know nothing about gaming etc I can only go by the expression on my grandsons face when he opened the box.
