Our Verdict
Dell S3422DWG
Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55
The Dell S3422DWG and the Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55 are different types of gaming monitors. The Dell has an ultrawide screen, which is great for playing atmospheric or detailed games, while the 27-inch screen on the Samsung is better if you have limited space. They perform similarly otherwise, but the Dell has slightly better picture quality in HDR, as it gets a bit brighter, and the Dell has a few extra features like a USB hub, which the Samsung doesn't have.
