If you’re looking for a mid-size gaming display that is 1440p and offers a pretty fast refresh rate, perhaps to pair up with one of our recommended desktop CPUs or graphics cards, Samsung’s Odyssey G5 G53F is definitely worth a closer look as it is currently just $180 (purchase link under the specs table down below).
This is an IPS (in-plane switching) display and hence it should be great for usage across various tasks including reading on it for fairly long hours. Samsung also includes what it calls a Black Equalizer. This is essentially a setting that brightens darker areas of the screen without overexposing the rest. The idea is to make shadowed details more visible, which can be useful in competitive titles where opponents might otherwise blend into darker corners.
Speaking of gaming, it supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro tech so even if your framerate falls below the monitor"s adaptive sync range, the display can compensate with the LFC (low framerate compensation) feature.
