Our Verdict

Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx

Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T

The Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx is much better than the Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T. They each have a 1080p resolution, but they have different panel types. The Acer has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles. It also has a significantly faster response time, so motion looks smoother, and you can overclock its 144Hz refresh rate to 165Hz. Although the Acer has a smaller screen, it has a higher pixel density to provide better text clarity. On the other hand, the Samsung has a VA panel with a higher contrast ratio, displaying deeper blacks.
