- Vibrant QHD Image Quality: The 1440p resolution and IPS panel deliver crisp text and vivid, accurate colors that significantly improve visual clarity compared to standard 1080p displays.
- Versatile and Sturdy Stand: The monitor features a robust, heavy-duty stand that offers extensive ergonomic adjustments, including height, tilt, swivel, and a 90-degree pivot for portrait mode.
Cons
- Frequent Quality Control Defects: A notable number of reviews report hardware failures, specifically dead or stuck pixels and the development of horizontal or vertical lines on the screen within a short period of use.
- Sleep Mode and Signal Issues: Users frequently encounter a frustrating firmware glitch where the monitor fails to reconnect or wake up after entering sleep mode, often requiring a manual power cycle or computer restart.
- Limited Ports and No Speakers: The monitor lacks built-in speakers and provides a limited selection of inputs, typically featuring only one HDMI and one DisplayPort, which some users find insufficient for modern setups.

Nice monitor but does NOT support G-sync at all.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Jeff M. October 10, 2025Review source: AmazonConnected, working great, trying to enable G-Sync but its not available. Samsung says this is a FreeSync monitor and even though NVidia lists the G5 as supported, it’s not. Loses 2 stars for LYING about G-sync compatibility in the product description. I’ll use it for now until a better deal comes along…

Monitor
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.Mouse October 9, 2025Review source: BestbuyI’ve been using the Samsung Odyssey G5 for a while now, and overall it’s a solid gaming monitor for the price. The 27-inch flat screen looks super clean, and the 1440p resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate makes games look really sharp and smooth. The colors are decent, and the contrast is nice thanks to the VA panel, so darker scenes look pretty good. It handles most games really well, though there can be a bit of motion blur in really fast games. The stand is basic — it only tilts and doesn’t move up or down — and the build quality feels a bit light, but it’s fine once it’s on your desk. The HDR isn’t anything crazy since it doesn’t get that bright, but it still adds a little more life to the picture. Overall, the G5 is a great pick if you want a flat 1440p monitor with high refresh rates without spending a lot. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely worth it for the price.

Samsung Odyssey G5 Review
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.Alfonse October 3, 2025Review source: BestbuyThe monitor had an extremely crisp response time that made competitive gaming a brand new experience for me coming from a lower response time TV. The monitor had some connectivity issues with my PS5 and would sometimes be capped at 1080p/60hz. I ultimately decided I wanted to go with a higher spec device because I sought some more advanced features the monitor doesn’t have.
