Our Verdict
LG 32GQ950-B
Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70
The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 and the LG 32GQ950-B are both good 4k gaming monitors. They each have a 144Hz refresh rate, but the LG is overclockable to 160Hz for a slightly smoother feel. The LG gets much brighter in HDR to make highlights pop, but if you want to use the monitor in a well-lit room, the Samsung has better reflection handling. Also, the Samsung has better motion handling with 60Hz signals, but the LG has lower input lag at 60Hz for a more responsive feel.
