Our take on the Samsung Odyssey G40B 27" FHD IPS LED Gaming Monitor
The Odyssey G40B is Samsung's 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor built around a fast IPS panel. It pairs a 240Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, so fast shooters stay smooth with little tearing. It sits above budget 144Hz 1080p screens on speed and below 1440p models on resolution and detail. Owners like the motion clarity and the adjustable stand; the main complaints are the modest pixel density at this size and the washed-out look of dark scenes on an IPS panel.
- 240Hz refresh with 1ms response keeps fast motion clear
- AMD FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatible
- IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and stable colors
- Height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment on the stand
- 1080p is easy to drive to high frame rates

What reviewers say
Reviewers treat the G40B as a solid entry point to 240Hz gaming. They praise motion handling and the ergonomic stand, and note that the 1080p resolution and weak contrast hold it back from premium status.
- Motion clarityPraisedOwners say fast movement stays sharp and aiming feels responsive at 240Hz.
- ResolutionCriticisedReviewers note that 1080p stretched over 27 inches looks softer than 1440p rivals.
- ContrastCriticisedDark scenes look gray and blacks are shallow compared with VA panels.
Questions and answers
- Is 240Hz worth it over a 144Hz monitor?
- If your PC can push well past 144 frames per second in the games you play, the extra smoothness is noticeable. If your GPU tops out near 100 fps, a 144Hz screen is enough.
- Does it work with an Nvidia graphics card?
- Yes. It is G-Sync compatible, so Nvidia cards can use variable refresh over DisplayPort. AMD cards use FreeSync Premium.
- Is 1080p sharp enough at 27 inches?
- It is usable, but pixel density is lower than a 24-inch 1080p screen or a 27-inch 1440p screen. Text and fine detail look softer.
- What connections does it have?
- It offers DisplayPort and HDMI inputs for PCs and consoles. There is no USB hub, so peripherals connect elsewhere.
- Can I mount it on a monitor arm?
- Yes. It has a standard VESA mount, so you can swap the included stand for an arm or wall bracket.
- Does it have built-in speakers?
- No. You need separate speakers or a headset.
