Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung S27AG55 is an affordable 27-inch QHD curved gaming monitor in Samsung's 2021 Odyssey G5 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel that refreshes at up to 165Hz.
Its 1000R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.
Unfortunately, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
