LG UltraGear 27G610A-B vs Samsung Odyssey G55T
Both sit in the same price bracket, so the question is not which is better but which suits you. Below are the real differences, then who each one is for.
The differences that matter
- Smoothness: the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B runs at 200 Hz and the Samsung Odyssey G55T at 165 Hz. Only 35 Hz apart: in practice you will not tell them apart.
- Sharpness: the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B is QHD and the Samsung Odyssey G55T is UWQHD. On screen that is 109 against 110 pixels per inch, and it shows most in text.
- Panel type: IPS on the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B and Curved VA on the Samsung Odyssey G55T. This is the difference that changes most of what you see: it decides contrast and how much motion smears.
- Size: 34 inches against 27. At normal desk distance the larger one covers more field of view; the smaller one can be read whole without moving your eyes.
Which one suits you
Choose the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B if

Highlighted rows are where the two monitors differ. The ▲ mark points to the better value where one can be named objectively; on fields like panel type or size there is no «better», it depends on what you want.
Size, resolution, panel, refresh rate and response time are each checked against the manufacturer's listing on Amazon.es. Anything we could not confirm shows as “—”: we would rather leave a gap than invent a figure.
