Our Verdict
Sony INZONE M9
Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70
The Sony INZONE M9 and the Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70 are 4k gaming monitors with a few differences. The Sony has better picture quality because it has a full-array local dimming feature that does a better job at improving the picture quality in dark scenes than the edge-lit local dimming on the Samsung. The Sony also gets brighter because of this, making it the better choice for use in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung monitor is more accurate out-of-the-box, which is something to consider for content creation.
