The Samsung Odyssey G4 25-inch Gaming Monitor is a 1080p IPS display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms (GtG) response time. The panel supports G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, enabling tear-free gameplay with both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. HDR10 support handles compatible media content, and the Ultrawide Game View feature lets you switch the aspect ratio to 21:9 for a wider field of view in supported games. The monitor includes DisplayPort and HDMI inputs along with a fully adjustable stand that allows tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.
A gaming monitor to help you immerse yourself in your favorite games
The 240Hz refresh rate of the Odyssey G4 is more than 4 times that of a typical 60Hz display. This results in much smoother motion when playing fast-paced game types like First-Person Shooters and racing video games that involve rapid camera movement. So you can see the action more clearly and react faster than on slower monitors.
The IPS panel provides 178-degree viewing angles, ensuring consistent color and contrast even when viewed from off-center positions. Compared to a TN panel at the same price, IPS technology offers better color accuracy at the cost of slightly higher response times, though the 1ms specification keeps motion handling competitive with typical TN gaming monitors. HDR10 support adds expanded brightness range and color depth for compatible content, though most general use will still rely on standard SDR output.
NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium support both work with the appropriate graphics cards to synchronize the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s frame output. This eliminates screen tearing during gameplay without introducing the input lag that traditional V-sync can cause. Connections include DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, with DisplayPort required to reach the full 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p resolution.
The Ultrawide Game View feature lets you switch to 21:9 in compatible titles, providing a wider horizontal field of view at the cost of cropping the top and bottom of the screen. The adjustable stand handles tilt, swivel, and height adjustments without needing an additional monitor arm.
At $190 with the $90 discount applied, the Samsung Odyssey G4 25-inch Gaming Monitor is an easy pickup for a 240Hz 1080p IPS display that supports both major adaptive sync standards. The $280 list price was already competitive for the spec sheet, and the additional savings bring it closer to entry-level pricing for a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor.
