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

Best 1440p, 27", IPS, 120+hz under $200

Samsung Odyssey G50D is a terrible monitor. I had it and hated pretty much everything about it. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Innocn 27" mini-led fast IPS monitor is one of the best I have used outside of OLED. I was skeptical to try it, but it's 100% worth the extra $100.

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.

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

I hate buying monitors

I have the same feeling, currently went from a 27” 1080 samsung to a 32” 1440 aoc but i see no improvement even tho went from 60hz to 240hz Probably a huge problem comes from the buget, because we are looking for a best buy Also what is that insane price for the odyssey g50d I found it for 600usd

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.
