Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G65B S32BG652
Gigabyte M27Q X
The Gigabyte M27Q X and the Samsung Odyssey G65B S32BG65 are gaming monitors with similar features, but they differ in some ways. The Samsung has a curved screen which helps bring the edges of it within your field of vision. It also has a VA panel that contributes to a better contrast than the M27Q X, and it handles HDR better. On the other hand, the M27Q X is a better gaming monitor; it has a better input lag and response time while boasting a higher pixel density.
