Best 1080p 27in. 240hz if bought on sale!

Coming from a 25in 240hz Alienware monitor, I was a little worried about the lower pixel density due to the same resolution (1080p) being stretched now over a larger surface area of 27in. I've had this issue before with the 27in Alienware 240hz monitor, one of the main reasons I switched to the smaller 25in. But to my surprise this samsung panel does some magic with the image it displays. The picture is clear and pixels are not noticeable, at least to my eyes. The colors are the most vibrant I have ever seen on a computer monitor. I purchased the screen at 279.99 on sale, for that price I cant think of anything that would beat it. If your system doesn't do nicely to 1440p, this is the 1080p monitor to try. In regards to the refresh rate, at 240hz I was unable to see any blurring or ghosting on games like Valorant or Apex Legends which I did notice on the 27in Alienware screen. I attached a photo of my setup to show the size difference from my 24in second monitor and the 27in samsung.

This monitor includes everything the description says it has: 240 Hz refresh rate, 1920 x 1080 resolution, G-SYNC compatibility (not the same thing as native G-SYNC!), and an IPS panel that can tilt/rotate/pivot/go up and down. The build quality is solid and the rubberized base makes it pretty sturdy. A DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI cable were included in the box. The monitor's menu (which is accessed by pressing the center navigation button) contains a lot of features that I recommend messing around with.
Some complaints however. The menu navigation buttons underneath the monitor are small and have awkward designs that make them hard to use. I'd much rather use a joystick to navigate around the menu like my old LG monitor did. Also, Windows detects that this monitor has speakers even though it doesn't. The virtual aimpoint option is pretty much useless since all the crosshairs are comedically large and are straight-up ugly. Setting the response time option to "Extreme" produced a nasty ghosting effect while gaming. This isn't a problem if you plan on using G-SYNC.
Overall, this monitor is a good choice for those looking for a cheap 1080p monitor with a high refresh rate. I would only buy it when it's on sale though.

Great monitor! I’ve been using it daily for about a month now and the 240hz has definitely been something to enjoy especially paired with g-sync. While playing games doing extremely fast turns has never been smoother. The jump from 144hz to 240hz was definitely more than I expected. All in all this monitor is a good buy.

Amazing monitor. I went from a 165hz AOC to this 240hz Samsung G40 monitor. What a difference! Big upgrade over my AOC G2. I plan on getting a second Samsung g40 27" for a dual monitor set up. Do yourself a favor and buy this monitor, you won't regret it!

I got this monitor for my son last Christmas so he could play video games on it. I had no idea how to buy a monitor… What brand, what size… Etc. He has had it for over a year and is more than happy with it. It’s perfect! No complaints.

It’s a decent monitor. I bought it open box but it’s decent for gameplay. Once you change the freesynce and G-sync off you can change it to 240/120/60hrz’s. You do need a 2k/4k/8k hdmi 2.1 for the bigger frame rates. Very low 4 latency.
OVERALL: decent for the price. Good for a small room or desk setup. Decent for gaming. For 10 HOURS STRAIGHT OF GAMING!!! work well for Nvidia RTX cards. I don’t know about AMD Series.. sorry.

Fast frame rate perfect for my set up! Not bulky either. No speakers is the only downside but you get what they describe.

Nice for the price. This is a great size for a dorm room or a small office space. This monitor is used for computer and console gaming. It was on sale and had better specs than some that were priced higher. No issues with it as of 2024.
