There are plenty of esports-type games available to play these days, and if you take any of them semi-seriously you know that framerates and latency matter — especially in games like first-person shooters where accuracy and performance make a difference.
Luckily there is a decent sale on Samsung's Odyssey G4 gaming monitor at only $219, thanks to a discount at Best Buy. This gaming monitor sports the features required for competitive esports gaming such as a high refresh rate and an FHD resolution that can still provide sharp fidelity and also achieve higher framerates.
The Samsung Odyssey G4 is a 27-inch gaming monitor that has an IPS screen that's flat and comes with a high refresh rate of 240Hz helping to make this monitor suitable for esports gaming where framerates matter. The monitor comes with a height-adjustable stand that also swivels, pivots, and tilts, so you can perfectly adjust the screen for your setup. The Odyssey G4 is also G-Sync compatible keeping your GPU and panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen lag, and image tears if you're using an Nvidia GPU.
The resolution of the Samsung Odyssey G4 is 1080p Full-HD helping to provide optimal fidelity to performance ratio. It may seem low at first glance, but the reason esports-focused monitors use a lower resolution is that it puts less strain on GPUs and enables the graphics cards to produce much higher framerates than what would be possible on a 1440p (QHD) or 4K (UHD) resolution.
If you already have a monitor arm and are perhaps replacing an existing monitor then the Samsung Odyssey G4 is 100 x 100 VESA mount compatible. Other features of the Odyssey G4 include auto source switching, a virtual aim marker, 99% sRBG coverage, 1 x DisplayPort, and 2 x HDMI ports.
