Budget-friendly monitor upgrades do exist! This 24-inch Samsung Odyssey G3 is proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune for a speedy gaming screen. Right now, you can get the Samsung Odyssey G30D for just $109.99 (was $199.99), which is a massive 45 percent discount for a pretty darn good display considering what you get in it.
At 24 inches, it’s a good conventional size for tighter workspaces (just slightly smaller than the 27-inch ideal), and it feels even more compact thanks to its slim bezels. (Samsung calls it a “3-sided borderless design,” and it’s particularly good for multi-monitor setups.) The 1080p resolution is also pretty standard, about the best you can do for this price. Both HDMI and DisplayPort are options, plus 3.5mm audio.
The speedy 180Hz refresh rate is the standout feature here, allowing you to push more frame rates out of your games and still get smooth visuals, which is unheard of in monitors this cheap. The 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync compatibility take it one step further, helping to minimize lag and screen tearing. Sadly, there’s no VESA mount, but it fortunately does have a stand with swivel, tilt, and height adjustments.
Why spend $200 on an entry-level gaming monitor when you can get something better for half the price? Score the Samsung Odyssey G30D for only $109.99 before this Amazon deal sells out!
