Samsung - Odyssey G51C 32" QHD FreeSync Premium Gaming Monitor with HDR10 (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black

I’ve been looking for a new monitor for my Xbox Series X for about a month now. I went to Best Buy yesterday morning just to look around and get a better idea of what I am looking for and to my surprise they had this monitor on sale for $250 which is cheaper than anything I’ve had my eyes on. I was looking for a 27” but that price, with everything I was looking for was impossible to pass up, especially since the sale ends on June 18th. I’m coming from an 24.5” monitor so 32” is a really big adjustment but it’s not as bad as I imagined before. I was super nervous all day because I was only able to get it set up and turn it on once before I had to go to work for 9 hours and I didn’t think it looked that great at baseline. Once I got home and adjusted everything to my liking I was blown away at how much of a difference it made in the picture quality. The response time is amazing, the refresh rate is about as smooth as butter and the FreeSync truly makes a tremendous difference from my old 144hz 1080p monitor. I didnt notice and stuttering or ghosting at all and movement looks super smooth. I honestly wasn’t expecting that much of a jump up but for $250 you can’t beat how much it really comes through. This is a slightly dim monitor at 300 nits but thats not a bad thing in my opinion because it’s much easier to look at for long periods of time. Thankfully my room stays pretty dark but even with the lights on it is still bright enough to not get drowned out by outside light sources. I’m glad the I pulled the trigger on this one and I am extremely happy with my decision!

Honestly an AMAZING monitor for the specs. The color is great, the refresh rate is amazing and the size is fantastic. The only downside I’ve noticed after switching from my 24 inch 240hz is that it does a weird blur when moving around a lot in games. Other than that, it works fantastic.
