Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The Samsung Odyssey G7 LS27DG702EUXXU is a 27-inch 4K UHD IPS gaming monitor listed at £299.00, with a 144Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, a pair of HDMI ports and a height-adjustable stand. It lands at number 9 in this guide, and unusually for this category its selling points and its spec table agree: the bullets say 144Hz and 1ms, and the specification rows say 144 Hz and 1 Milliseconds.

What does not agree is the rating. The listing shows 4.1 out of 5 and 64 ratings, but the star histogram underneath counts 70 five-star votes, 11 four-star, 2 three-star, 11 two-star and 11 one-star — 100 votes in total. That means 22 of those 100 votes are one or two stars, which is a heavy tail of unhappy buyers behind a 4.1 average. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing — price, specs, rating and buyer comments — and not from any testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask

Does the Samsung Odyssey G7 LS27DG702EUXXU have built-in speakers?

The listing name states it comes with speakers, and the same title lists a Full Smart Platform, so it can be used for streaming apps as well as a PC or console.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

The spec table lists 2 total HDMI ports and HDMI 2.1 appears in the product name. The same table lists 2 USB ports.

What refresh rate and response time does the Samsung Odyssey G7 offer?

144Hz and 1ms. Unlike some listings in this guide, the feature bullets and the spec table give the same figures here.

What is the rating, and how many people rated it?

4.1 out of 5, described as 64 ratings. The histogram on the page adds up to 100 votes, so the two numbers in the listing do not match each other.

Is the screen matte or glossy?

The spec table gives the screen finish type as Matte. One buyer comment on the page says the monitor does not have antiglare, which is worth knowing before you buy.

Do the buyer reviews describe this exact model?

Most comments cover 4K picture quality and the adjustable stand, but one describes a 32-inch screen bought for just under £400 — neither the 27-inch size nor the £299.00 price of the monitor listed here.
