Cons

  • 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.

    I was worrying about Samsung monitor’s’ infamous “dark-screen” issue. But so far so good.

    This was a great choice for me. I have a PS5. Love to play Farming Simulator with my Uncle. This may sound silly, love to bring my gaming outside on the deck. I was tired of lugging my big TV in and out. When it rains out it was hard to cover it. Even with the 3 umbrellas that I use. This monitor is perfect in every way. So clear it’s like I’m on a big tv. Easy to carry. Easy to cover when storms hit.

    I am really liking this monitor. The Odessey G50D 27″.
    Purchased this as my first gaming monitor to mate with a new AMD PC with HDR and FreeSync capabilities.
    Assembly was pretty easy using the instructions. The stand is really substantial and has plenty of heft to keep it where I want it. The range of adjustment is impressive and easy to do. The flat base, while a bit large, makes it easy to put things under the monitor.
    I do like that the back of the monitor is just black and not flashy or too ornate, as many gaming monitors are.
    I thought the power/stand-by LED was not working. Looking really close I see it does work, it is just really small and dim.
    The monitor buttons to navigate the menu are pretty simple to use after a bit of practice.
    Hooked up the included DP cable.
    I set the monitor FreeSync on and my Win11 PC AMD software acknowledged, showed all of the possible refresh rates available. Started an older game that ran steady at 180 fps to great result.
    HDR stuff looks OK, especially after using the Windows HDR Calibration tool.
    As I don’t game as much as I just use the PC I am pleased with this display for browsing. Text is crisp, colors look great.
    I’m still trying things out but I haven’t run into any issues.
    This is a keeper.

  6. Limited height adjustment

    Verified purchase

    Beautiful graphics. A very nice jump from a 1080p on a 3060; will be interesting to see how it does on a 4080.

    I’m 5’11 and sit with a (naturally) upright posture. The height adjustment is lower than my AOC (curved) which impacts my direct line of sight. I have to lower my chair to keep my eyes lined up at the right height. This is a problem if you are on the PC for a while (something that you will learn regarding ergonomics.

    **Note that changing from curved to flat requires your eyes/brain to adjust so it IS a distortion of the brain which they claims will take a few weeks to adjust** Apparently this is NORMAL. Yet it only took me a few hours.

    My eyes/brain will adjust to the change however the height line of sight (height) factor is a significant negative.

    The buttons are on the bottom of the monitor (under) which is a little annoying. It looks confusing to put together at first (no instructions) but after you look at it for a moment, you will see how it all puts together. Depending on how bad the height issue is I may return it.

  7. CAME WITH A DEAD PIXEL smack dab in the middle. Wouldn't recommend

    Display looks great with good colors and handles fps well. Use DisplayPort for higher hz, since HDMI will only give you so much.

    I got this on sale and made buying less painful but still worth it.

    This is a good monitor to pick up if you catch it for a 279 or 299 price it’s not quite worth full price. Imagie quality looks good overall but hdr just looks grey and dark when using it.

  10. Worth the sale price
