27" Samsung S27H850 gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Samsung S27H850 has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The Samsung S27H850 is a relatively new monitor. In terms of pixel density, the Samsung S27H850 has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. For graphics color quality, the Samsung S27H850 has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. The minimum response rate of Samsung S27H850 is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The Samsung S27H850 has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Samsung S27H850 has a total input lag of 25.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 50 Hz. The brightness of Samsung S27H850 is lower than other monitors. For the average response rate, the Samsung S27H850 scores 15 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate.
