Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G55A S27AG55
Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55
The Samsung Odyssey G55A S27AG55 and the Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55 are extremely similar 27-inch gaming monitors. The G55C is a newer monitor that gets brighter, making it the better choice in a bright environment. However, the G55A has considerably lower input lag and is the better choice if you want a responsive feel while gaming.
