Great IPS gaming monitor!
Customer Review June 25, 2024Review source: AmazonTL;DR this is a great gaming monitor. Your only choice is size.
27” vs 32” – same QHD resolution, so the 27” has a higher PPI, so it looks better to your eyes. If you’re used to a Mac or other device with a very high resolution screen, text won’t look as sharp as those, but since this is a gaming monitor that’s not the focus. On the 27” size, I found it adequate, even for long-term use.
Colors are vibrant and the response rate is fantastic! Make sure your computer can actually produce frame rates fast enough for the display. In my case, my computer can drive the games I play at around 90fps, so they looked great on this 180hz monitor. If your computer supports it, make sure you enable the HDR mode! It really makes the colors pop.
The IPS panel is superior to the VA panel on other gaming monitors I’ve used. On those, the colors look great if you’re right in front of it, but as soon as you go off-center, it quickly degrades. This doesn’t happen with this IPS, which advertises 178 degrees of viewing. Also, the IPS gives you 99% sRGB color reproduction, which I think should be considered a requirement these days, but some gaming monitors don’t offer.
The eye saver mode is the best I’ve encountered so far. It does a great job reducing blue light without distorting the colors too much.
The adjustable stand is fantastic! The best I’ve ever used. It allows for easy movement up or down, tilting, and also rotation.
Finally, this monitor is a Samsung. They make great monitors, and I trust that this will last a long time.

Color and Contrast Lack Punch
plokiju June 24, 2024Review source: AmazonThe performance of this monitor is excellent, and the build quality is very good. The stand is heavy and feels robust. The cables and power supply are the quality as you’d expect from Samsung. The monitor housing feels tough and fairly heavy. Nothing feels cheap or sub standard.
The monitor is not curved, but I don’t mind. It’s fairly small, so it doesn’t need to be curved.
The colors are not as vibrant as I hoped. I think it’s due to the anti glare coating. It’s very good at eliminating reflections, but the colors and contrast aren’t eye popping. That’s my main complaint about this monitor. Don’t get me wrong, the image quality is still good, but it just lacks that extra punch to make you say “wow”. If you have a window or bright lights behind you, then you’ll appreciate the coating.
The second minor complaint is the on screen menu. It’s not as intuitive as other monitors. It’s going to take a while to adapt. I was especially frustrated when I tried to shut down the monitor. When I pressed the menu button, I only have 1 or 2 seconds before the monitor goes to sleep and the menu disappears. I have to memorize which button to press next, because there’s not much time to read the options.
To sum up, the performance numbers add up to a smooth gaming experience, but the anti glare coating is a bit too heavy, because it softens the color and contrast. -

Beautiful Display, Few Ports
snooks June 14, 2024Review source: AmazonOut of the box, I am pleased with this Samsung 27” Odyssey G5 G50 QHD Gaming Monitor.
Should you choose to use the stand instead of a monitor arm, it’s adjustable, and easy to assemble. It’s thin, but heavy, and allows for height adjustment, tilt, swivel and full 90-degree pivot to portrait mode. As with most stands, I do find that it takes up some valuable real estate on my desktop.
As for the display, it’s beautiful, with vibrant colors and crisp images. In all honesty, I am not an expert like some of the other folks who have reviewed this monitor, so I cannot attest to refresh rates and response time. All I can say is that from my general use, movies and videos are smooth, as to be expected.
I am somewhat disappointed with the ports in the back. I would have expected some USB ports, but alas, this monitor has (1) HDMI In, (1) Display Port In and (1) Audio Output. The other two are for power and service. I am always juggling between available ports on my laptop, so this was both surprising and disappointing to me.
Overall, this is a very nice monitor, and it will serve me well for my personal and occasional gaming use.

Great flat monitor
JudoNinja June 11, 2024Review source: AmazonThis is a good monitor. The problem with the review of this is that I can not set my computer which is an old gaming pc to the proper refresh rate to truely utilize the full I think 120hz, my pc only does 60hz. However playing forza horizon on this monitor was smooth and crisp no lag.
My primary use is multi functional office tasks, utilizing the real-estate for multitasking writing researching and using multi browsers at once. At 32″ it is great size and easy to hook up. Great quality that I know and get out of samsung. Good monitor. Highly recommend -
Sharp picture
Jaysen Silverman June 10, 2024Review source: AmazonThis 27 inch monitor was easy to assemble on the stand that’s included. With a heavy base, it makes it very stable when standing up once assembled, you can adjust the height of the monitor based on the stand it comes with all the cables necessary to hook to the device you want to use. Set up was easy by just the press of a button. The picture quality is outstanding very crisp and clear.
