Samsung's 27-inch Odyssey G80HF 5K monitor drops to $599.99 with gaming features

·1 views

Samsung's 27-inch Odyssey G80HF, a 5K monitor aimed at gamers, is currently priced at $599.99 at Amazon and B&H Photo, $100 below its usual price. The Fast IPS panel runs at 5K with up to 180Hz or at 1440p with up to 360Hz, and supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 2.1 port, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB hub. The reviewer highlights its one-millisecond response time as rare for a 5K monitor at this price, contrasting it with a sub-$500 rival that performed poorly for gaming. LG's $799.99 UltraGear evo 5K Mini LED is noted as a pricier alternative with more dimming zones and USB-C power delivery, though with lower refresh rates.
