About this product
The Samsung Odyssey G55C is a 27-inch QHD curved gaming monitor with 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. It features an IPS panel with 300 cd/m² brightness and 2500:1 contrast ratio. The 2560x1440 resolution delivers sharp details. It supports FreeSync for tear-free gaming, with inputs including HDMI and DisplayPort. The monitor is black and weighs 9 lbs.
Our take
The G55C strikes a great balance between resolution and speed. The QHD panel looks sharp, and the 165Hz refresh makes gaming fluid. The 1ms response time keeps motion blur in check, and FreeSync works well with AMD cards. The curve adds immersion without being too aggressive. Some cons: the brightness at 300 cd/m² is adequate but not outstanding, and the stand doesn't offer much adjustment. For the price, it's a fantastic all-rounder for both gaming and productivity.
