Are you hoping to nab an excellent monitor at a budget price this summer? Today might be that day. Check out this 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G3 that’s only $130 on Amazon. That’s $100 off its already affordable original price, bringing it down to its best-ever price—a no-brainer buy if you’re looking for a modest-but-high-value gaming display.
This is Samsung’s 27-inch gaming monitor with a standard 1080p resolution but fast 180Hz refresh rate. The resolution and aspect ratio may be unimpressive, but that much refresh is perfect for mid-range gaming setups. You’ll experience smooth motion and high frame rates—assuming your PC can push out those frames—and minimal input lag. That means an edge over your opponents in competitive online multiplayer.
For connectivity, we’re looking at HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, but no USB-C video with power delivery so probably not the best for beefy gaming laptops. Other nifty features include AMD FreeSync for reduced image tearing, a Black Equalizer for seeing better in dark areas, and a Virtual Aim Point that puts a crosshair directly on the screen.
What are you waiting for? This is the best price it’s ever been, so grab the Samsung Odyssey G3 for $130 while you can! Otherwise, check out PCWorld’s picks for the best monitors and keep an eye on them over the next week. Don’t forget, Prime Day is coming soon!
