Samsung's Odyssey G3 G30H gaming monitor is down to $169.99 at Amazon, a $20 cut from the $189.99 list price. The more useful finding is the size, because the listing title calls it a 24-inch monitor while the model code and the measurements both describe the 27-inch version.
The panel is a flat 27-inch IPS running 1920 by 1080 at up to 200Hz, with a 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync Premium. That combination matters because 1080p at 200Hz is cheap to drive, so a mid-range graphics card can sit near the refresh ceiling in competitive games.
Why the listing says 24 inches and the hardware says 27
Amazon lists the model code as LS27HG302ENXZA, and the LS27 prefix is Samsung's 27-inch designator. The listing's own product information table agrees, giving a screen size of 27 inches.
The measurements settle it. Amazon records the monitor as 24.14 inches wide, and Samsung's spec page puts the 27-inch G30H at 61.32 cm wide with its stand, which converts to the same 24.14 inches.
A 24-inch version does exist. It is a separate listing under the code LS24HG302ENXZA, and it currently sells for $139.99.
The listing has a second problem. Every bullet in its About This Item section describes the Odyssey OLED G7, a 4K QD-OLED panel running at 165Hz, which is a different monitor entirely. Every specification below therefore comes from Samsung rather than from Amazon.

The stand only tilts, and there is one port of each kind
Samsung describes the stand type as simple and gives a tilt range of minus 2 to 20 degrees. There is no height adjustment, no swivel and no pivot.
That is a step back from the older G30D, which Samsung still sells in the US with a full ergonomic stand at 180Hz. Wall mounting uses a 75 by 75 mm VESA pattern, and the monitor weighs 3.9 kg with the stand attached.
Connectivity runs to a single DisplayPort 1.4 input, a single HDMI 2.0 input and a headphone jack. Samsung lists no speakers.
Two figures on the Amazon page are also off. It quotes 200 cd/m2 of brightness, which is Samsung's minimum rather than the 250 cd/m2 typical number, and it claims HDR10+ where Samsung says plain HDR10.
Samsung puts sRGB coverage at 95 percent, so this is not a wide-gamut screen. The gaming extras are Black Equalizer and Virtual Aim Point, both carried over from earlier Odyssey models such as the Odyssey G9 and Odyssey OLED G9.
How the price compares
Samsung does not sell the G30H in the United States in any size, so there is no first-party price to measure against. Its US store stops at the 180Hz G30D.
| Monitor | Panel and refresh | Stand | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Odyssey G3 G30H, 27-inch | 27-inch IPS, 1080p, 200Hz | Tilt only | $169.99 |
| Samsung Odyssey G3 G30H, 24-inch | 24-inch IPS, 1080p, 200Hz | Tilt only | $139.99 |
| Samsung Odyssey G4 G40H | 25-inch Fast IPS, 1080p, 300Hz | Height, swivel, pivot, tilt | $189.99 |
| Dell SE2426H | 23.8-inch IPS, 1080p, 144Hz | Tilt only | $89.99 |
The Odyssey G4 G40H at $189.99 is the interesting comparison. Twenty dollars more buys 300Hz, G-Sync Compatible certification and the height, swivel and pivot adjustments the G3 lacks, though the panel shrinks to 25 inches.
The Dell SE2426H at $89.99 is close to half the price for 144Hz and two HDMI inputs. Spending up instead reaches sharper panels, such as the GIGABYTE M27Q2 at $159.99 or the Alienware 27-inch 280Hz QHD model at $199.99, both of which move to 1440p.
What the listing does not publish
A 30-day low has been reported for this price, but no price history was obtainable and the Amazon page carries no lowest-price badge. Samsung gives the launch date as August 15, 2026, so the monitor has roughly six weeks of pricing behind it.
The $189.99 anchor is Amazon's own list price, and no other US retailer stocks the model to corroborate it. Samsung publishes the 1ms figure as MPRT, which measures motion persistence rather than pixel transition, and no grey-to-grey number is given anywhere.
Amazon flags the offer as a limited-time deal, and prices quoted here are those listed at the time of writing on September 26, 2026. Samsung has not said whether the G30H will reach its US store, which currently lists a 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 for buyers with more to spend.
