Is 144Hz worth it over a 60Hz monitor?

Yes for games. Motion looks noticeably smoother, and FreeSync removes tearing when the frame rate dips. For office work alone the gain is small.

Should I get the 24-inch or 27-inch version?

The 24-inch keeps 1080p looking sharp. The 27-inch gives a bigger picture but pixels are more visible, so pick it only if size matters more than crispness.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox?

It connects over HDMI and runs at up to 120Hz on consoles that support it. You will not get 144Hz there, since consoles cap lower.

Does the stand adjust in height?

No. It tilts only. If you need height or pivot adjustment, plan on a VESA arm or a different monitor.

Does it have built-in speakers?

No. You need external speakers or a headset plugged into your PC or console.

Is it good for photo or video editing?

It is fine for casual editing, but color accuracy is not professional grade. Serious editors should look at a higher-resolution panel with wider color coverage.

Our take on the Samsung Essential G3 FHD 144Hz Monitor

The Samsung Essential G3 is a budget 1080p gaming monitor in 24-inch and 27-inch sizes. It pairs an IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync, so fast games stay smooth without the color shift of cheap TN panels. It lacks the height adjustment and USB hub of pricier gaming monitors, and 1080p looks soft on the 27-inch version. It suits first-time PC gamers and anyone upgrading from a 60Hz office screen.
