Is 165 Hz worth it on a 4K monitor?

Yes for gaming. 165 Hz makes motion much smoother than 60 Hz, and the 1 ms GTG response keeps fast movement clear. You need a GPU and cable that can drive 4K at high frame rates to use it fully.

Does it work well with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

HDMI 2.1 supports 4K at high refresh rates on current consoles. Check that the console's output settings match the monitor's supported modes.

How is this different from a 1440p gaming monitor?

It doubles the pixel count for sharper detail and text, but 4K is harder to drive at 165 Hz. A 1440p panel is easier on the GPU and usually has higher contrast.

Can I mount it on a monitor arm?

The stand offers 12 cm of height adjustment. For an arm, check the VESA pattern and weight limit before buying.

Does it have speakers?

Yes, built-in speakers are included, so you can skip external speakers for casual use. Dedicated speakers or a headset will sound better.

Our take on the Samsung 27" S27FG904XU G90XF Monitor

The Samsung G90XF is a 27-inch 4K IPS gaming monitor with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms gray-to-gray response. It is one of the few 4K panels that pairs high resolution with a fast refresh, so it suits gamers who want sharp detail without dropping to 1440p. It also includes built-in speakers, a height-adjustable stand with 12 cm of travel, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort. Against 4K rivals, its main trade-off is an IPS panel with modest contrast and an F energy rating rather than a Mini LED or OLED picture.
