I'm currently using a laptop and I'm in the market for a monitor as my first investment for a PC setup. My goal is to find a decent monitor that I can use while I save up for the rest of the components. I've come across the Odyssey 5G, but I've read some negative reviews about it being a cheap VA panel. I'm not a hardcore gamer; I mainly play games like Apex Legends and some story-driven games. Any recommendations? Also, I noticed that this monitor is 2K. Do you think my laptop with a 1660 Ti will handle it without issues?

The 1660 Ti can handle 1440p for older or esports games pretty well. For newer story-driven titles, though, you're likely looking at low settings and around 100 FPS or lower. Just keep that in mind when choosing your monitor!
I get your concern about the monitor! Just make sure to check the reviews to avoid getting a low-quality model.
Yeah, the 1660 Ti is getting on in years. It might manage 30 FPS at 1440p in some basic games but won't be great for AAA titles if they were released more recently.
