There are plenty of gaming monitors to choose from, but if you are looking for a solid 1440p curved display without blowing your budget, the 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G55C is currently worth a closer look. The monitor has a list price of $299.99, but Amazon is offering a limited-time discount that brings the price down to $229.99. Additionally, there is a $50 discount coupon, which brings the effective cost down to $179.99. While we’ve seen this model dip to $170, it is still a solid deal for a well-rounded QHD gaming monitor from a reputable brand.
On the image quality side, the VA panel delivers a 2500:1 contrast ratio, resulting in deeper blacks than most IPS panels in this price range. Peak brightness is rated at up to 300 nits, which should be adequate for indoor gaming and everyday use. The monitor also supports HDR10, though expectations should be kept in check since it lacks local dimming, which is necessary for a true HDR experience.
The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync, which helps eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, delivering smoother, more responsive gameplay. Connectivity is fairly standard, with DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones or external speakers. At its current discounted price, the Odyssey G55C offers a good mix of features, performance, and value for 1440p gamers.
There is no time period specified for the offer, so we are not entirely sure how long it will be available at the discounted price. Make sure you tick on the additional $50 coupon, which is applied during checkout to purchase the monitor for $179.99.
