Get this Full HD 144Hz Samsung gaming monitor for only $200 this Black Friday
A perfect monitor for competitive PC gamers.
The Samsung Odyssey G3 is a fantastic entry-model PC gaming monitor. Sure, it doesn't have the bells and whistles you might find with more pricier monitors, but at $199.99, the Odyssey G3 ticks all the boxes at a great price.
Featuring a 1080p VA panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium, the Odyssey G3 is the perfect monitor for smooth gameplay with entry-tier GPUs. If you have an Xbox Series X or S, the monitor should also support variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming at 1080p.
So what makes this such a great monitor? Well apart from its super-smooth high refresh rate, it has a 1ms response rate, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, and an HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 input. The different inputs are great for those of you with a PC and a console, allowing you to switch between devices with ease. The monitor doesn't support HDR, but at this price, any monitor that does tends to have a poor implementation, as the peak brightness of the monitor is on the low side.
Now, maybe you have a much beefier rig that can handle higher resolutions and refresh rates. If that's the case you might want to consider the Samsung Odyssey G7 instead, which Digital Foundry's Will Judd just wrote a love letter for (and it's also on sale!).
