Samsung Odyssey series monitors deliver amazing gaming and productivity. We already gave away the largest G9 monitors in a contest earlier this year. Now you have a chance to win one three different sizes and styles of Odyssey monitors: the G3, G5, and the G7. These monitors offer superior performance. I’ll highlight some of the features that differentiate them. Then you’ll have a chance to weigh in on which features are most important to you to enter this contest.
Display size an obvious consideration for your new Samsung Monitor
I have to admit, I am not into the massive monitors like Samsung’s G9 with its 49″ screen. Firstly, I don’t have the room for one. Secondly, and most importantly, I am an infrequent gamer, so I would not get the benefit of total immersion that a gamer embraces with one or more large monitors. Of the three monitors that we are giving away in this contest, the G3 would be perfect for me with its 24″ screen, a huge improvement over the 21 inch screen I currently use. The G5’s 27″ and the G7’s 28″ wouldn’t be a problem for my space, and I might be in heaven with the extra space (I’d have to try it and see).
Here is a table of some of the other key features found in these three monitors (thanks to Marcus Wong who created this table for his detailed review of these three monitors).
As you can see, there are some clear differences in addition to screen size.
Which feature is the most important when choosing a gaming monitor
Monitors are tricky things to buy. You try to compare models but there are so many features and some of these will not likely weigh on your decision at all. For example, in the monitors Best Buy is giving away in this contest, few people would choose one over the other based on the difference in HDMI video input. HDMI 1.4 is perfectly fine for the G3 with its 1080p display, but the G7 with its 4K display requires the new HDMI 2.1 standard (it supports a 4K signal at 120Hz) or you wouldn’t get the benefit of the higher resolution screen. So, some people might choose the G7 based on its 4k resolution, rather than its HDMI support, and other people will be fine with the resolution of the G3, and spend less money for a monitor that perfectly suits their needs.
And that raises a good point about monitors: the more modern the features, the higher the price. Yes, this applies to technology in general and monitors are not exempt. So when selecting a new monitor many people focus on two or three features and also on the price. For example, my daughter recently bought a monitor and a main consideration was that it was white to match her apartment (and she found exactly what she wanted at Best Buy!).
Think about what you want in a monitor and then enter this contest for a chance to win one of these three monitors.
How to enter
Entering this contest is easy and you can enter in two different ways.
- In a comment below, tell us about three features that you think are the most important when you are shopping for a monitor. For example, if you mention colour, what about colour: should it be dark like the monitors we are giving away or perhaps pink like the Samsung M8 monitor to match your decor?
- In a comment beneath the review article for these monitors on Best Buy’s blog, tell us which of the three monitors he discusses is your favourite and why.

Good luck.
3 things that are important to me are:
Price – can’t be too expensive
Size – To fit my work area, can’t have it too small or too big
resolution – all about image quality, I want to see things crystal clear
Personally i would like the Odyssey G5, A curved screen must be pretty awesome, Nice size perfect for me i think, also resolution, and processing speed are also important.
Three most important features would be: resolution; curved screen; screen size
Screen size is important so I can enjoy the experience.
Design is important. I like sleek and modern design.
Refresh rate is important for me to make the experience smooth and enjoyable.
Screen size – it has to be a decent size but not to big – bigger is not always better
Resolution – has to the 1440 or 2160 and refresh rate 144Hz or 240Hz.

screen size and resolution
size, resolution, input ports, and cost are important for me
Price needs to be affordable. Resolution needs to be crisp. It needs to be a relatively large screen so I can do multiple things simultaneously.
screen size – needs to be a good fit for my space
resolution – higher is good
price – can’t cost too much
I use my monitor mostly for gaming, I look for a larger screen size and a higher resolution and refresh rate for the best gaming experience possible. I hope to have the chance to try out a curved screen, as I bet it would be an amazing viewing experience.

Size, resolution but also cost
Resolution, size and price compared to overall value.
1. Adjustability, in regards to ergonomics
2. Resolution for a crystal clear view
3. Size of the screen, I like to see a big picture

I would like a large, clear flat screen monitor that is clear for all my graphic work. Price is also important.
The “Curve” appeal of these monitor is exceptional and it’s been a dream of mine to have that kind of refresh rate with this beautiful design.
When shopping for a monitor, I will consider these three things
size – what is the monitor being used for
resolution – clear picture and graphics
price – what I can afford
Resolution of the G3 and spend less money for a monitor.
Monitor size is important because I spend lots of time in front of it.
A fast 144 Hz refresh rate because it’s important for competitive games that require fast reactions.
Resolution for a clear picture, Size for an immersive experience and Price for the pocketbook.
1 – As for monitor size the bigger the better.. just like TV’s
2. The refresh rate has to be fast so I don’t get bored
3 to enjoy a sharper picture then the higher the resolution is needed

An adjustable stand for optimum viewing set up and comfortability, as well as a large screen size and high resolution for greater impact while gaming.
Size, the larger the better, resolution, obviously and processing speed for way more fun.
For a gaming monitor, I look for screen size, resolution and refresh rate. I want the biggest and highest resolution with at least 120Hz refresh for the best gaming experience possible.
I love the refreshing rate, the size and resolution
Size, resolution but also cost – I weigh getting a faster processing speed over a bigger monitor (within reason!)
3 most important factors:
– value (price to specs)
– size
– colour accuracy
3 most important items for me when shopping for a new monitor are:
1) Screen size vs resolution. While the highest resolution possible sounds good, the density of the pixels in the display can make or break the actual viewing experience
2) Refresh rate. Their isn’t as huge of a difference past 60hz, but motion is definitely clearer on 144hz+
3) Color accuracy. From black to white and everything in between, the closer to reference the display can reproduce the better it looks.
Would love to win this for my son the refresh rate is amazing.
Would love to win this for my son the refresh rate is amaing.
size is definately an important factor especially when you are getting old. secondly i would say the resolution and then the refresh rate.
G5 since refresh rate and response are the same for all 3 monitors but only 1 has the curved screen. HDMI 2.0 port is fine for me.
