New mini led ips Samsung monitor colors aren’t as good as my regular IPs monitor?
The G50D is not a miniled monitor. It does have local dimming but it is just 8 zones. Samsung doesn’t make ips miniled only VA miniled. Their miniled monitors are the odyssey NEO series. I’ve had the G50D myself and returned it after 2 days because of how bad everything looked from colors to blacks

Feedback on VA Panels?
It’s not a great monitor. Ghosting and black smearing is pretty bad. The newer 2025 G5 is much better. I use it daily for gaming. IPS. 180 hz https://www.bestbuy.com/product/samsung-27-odyssey-g50d-qhd-ips-180hz-1ms-amd-freesync-and-g-sync-compatible-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-400-displayport-hdmi-blac

Need help choosing a better monitor
Based on your needs — budget IPS 1440p, ~180Hz, great color and responsiveness for fast-paced games like CS2 and COD — here’s a breakdown of the Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D vs the AOC Q27G4X, and a recommendation: ⸻ Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D (2023) • Panel Type: VA (not IPS) • Resolution & Refresh: 1440p

Que opinan de este monitor?
Tengo el Odyssey g5 va y una decepción pq el panel se despega al ser curvo. Entiendo que el que vas a comprar literalmente no tiene nada que ver con el mío, pero el mal gusto con monitor Samsung me quedo, pague un extra de marca al pedo... Y para aclarar lo lleve a garantía dos veces (en un lugar de

Best 1440p, 27", IPS, 120+hz under $200
Here is the review of the g50d from rtings. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-g50d-s27dg50 In my experience, the screen coating/texture really took away a lot of the clarity. The viewing angles are pretty poor and this is made worse if you don’t have an adequately sized desk.

Whats a good 27in 1440p ips monitors with good blacks with a good hz rate for under 170 dollars
I can suggest LG 27GS75Q lcd gaming monitor or cheaper, Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D, but they will be backlight bleeding, as they are lcdonitors.

Backlight bleed on LG 27GS85Q
It was a long path. After getting RMA for my Samsung Odyssey G50D for continuous disconnects I bought that LG, then ASUS ROG XG27ACMS (returned because of vignetting), and finally got Dell U2724D. It's a little more expensive, but it has great backlight, wide viewing angles, very high brightness (I
