Upgrading to a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor doesn't necessarily mean spending thousands of dollars, especially if you're happy to stick with 1080p resolution for upcoming games like GTA 6. Samsung's more affordable Odyssey G3 is one of the best go-tos for that sort of use case, and Amazon has dropped the price down to close to its best-ever rate.
As of Oct. 20, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G3 (G30D) is available for just $129.99 at Amazon, saving you exactly $100 on its $229.99 list price. This puts the monitor just $1 away from its record-low Amazon price of $128.99 from mid-2025, which we confirmed when checking the price tracker camelcamelcamel.
The Odyssey G3 features a 27-inch VA panel with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), an 180Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms MPRT response time.
Whilst you won't get the sharper QHD visuals offered by other Samsung Odyssey models, such as the G5 monitor, this combo is still a solid upgrade for fast-paced games like Fortnite and Valorant, as well as big triple-A releases like Grand Theft Auto 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
AMD FreeSync is thankfully included as well, to help minimize screen tearing and stuttering. Along with Samsung's Black Equalizer to brighten darker areas to spot enemies more easily, there's also Virtual Aim Point, which places an adjustable crosshair on your screen for extra aiming assistance.
As a great extra for both gamers and home office workers, the Odyssey G3's three-sided borderless design even makes it suitable for dual-monitor setups, while the stand supports height adjustments, tilting, swiveling, and pivoting.
To make longer gaming sessions a touch more comfortable, this Samsung unit’s Eye Saver Mode and flicker reduction are the cherries on top in terms of value for money.
