Rank #9 in Best 4K Monitor 2026: Nine Ranked, and Two Listings That Contradict Themselves
Samsung Odyssey G7 27in 4K 144Hz Smart Monitor
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.
How those 64 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Key points:- fantastic picture quality for an IPS display- if your GPU is up for it, can deliver exception 4K performance and picture quality- brightness is good enogh, but not extra bright, the RGB accent light at the back is a nice touch- doesn't have antiglare (big monitor so could be helpful, but fine for the price)- monitor position can be adjusted easily, 10/10 for adjustability- very easy to setup- the smart TV feature is a nice to have, can take long to bootup but there are settings for fast start up by completely ditching the smart TV, direct to PC- the built-in speakers are weak, can't fight with Amazon Eco Pop, you will definitely need to tune the sound (my tuning wasn't enough still)- connectivity is exceptional for a gaming monitor and you can take advantage of your GPU delivered highest quality audio, even with bluetooth speakers- HDR is very good, I am impressed with the HDR quality for an IPS display- colors needed to be tuned honestly, the display can deliver more vibrant colors and can bring games like Cyberpunk 2077 into life- consistent performance and picture quality (both RTX 5090 and RTX 4070 Super delivered consistently exceptional picture quality)- went with Samsung because some brands can claim false specoverall a fantastic IPS panel with some future proof features and have the ability to deliver exceptional quality on almost any GPUs”

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.
