Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung Odyssey Ark
“The Neo G7 the other commentors recommended can frequently be found with heavy discounts bringing it into the 500-700 bucks range. Here is its review: [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75)”
“The G50D is not a miniled monitor. It does have local dimming but it is just 8 zones. Samsung doesn’t make ips miniled only VA miniled. Their miniled monitors are the odyssey NEO series. I’ve had the G50D myself and returned it after 2 days because of how bad everything looked from colors to blacks and ips glow. If you want a true miniled and not break the bank then buy the AOC Q27G3XMN it’s a beast. Or if you don’t live in europe you can probably get the updated version but I don’t know how it compares to the original one. I have the original because i live in the Netherlands.”
