The Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50 is a mid-level 1440p gaming monitor. It's part of Samsung's 2021 Odyssey gaming lineup as an updated version of the Samsung Odyssey G5 LC27G55T, but with a different panel and design. Instead of having a curved screen with a VA panel like the 2020 model, this monitor has an IPS panel and a flat screen. It has a faster 165Hz refresh rate and has variable refresh rate (VRR) support in the form of native FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility. It's available in 27 and 32 inches, and although it offers excellent gaming performance, it's limited on extra features for productivity, as it lacks any USB 3.0 or USB-C inputs.
