Picking one
One line item here is a monitor. Rankquant ranks the SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey G55C Series QHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, 1ms(MPRT), HDR10, 165Hz against the rest of its Electronics & Phones catalogue by re-centring every review on the reviewer who wrote it — 4 calibrated reviewers on this one — rather than averaging raw stars, which is why a four-star product with tough reviewers can outrank a five-star one. The full product rankings are built the same way.
