Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D 27" 16:9 WQHD 180Hz Fast IPS LCD HDR Gaming Monitor

The resolution and refresh rate are great, but the input detection is SO BAD, enough to knock off two stars. Switching between my work and personal computers means I need to completely detach the laptop from the screen for it to detect input, something I have never seen on another monitor.

This monitor has been the cleanest I owned so far. Beautiful 1440p. I paired it with both a 3060 12gb and the 9060xt 16gb and it has performed flawlessly. Using it as my gaming monitor has been a godsend. I see things differently than I used to.

This monitor is awesome. I use it for gaming most of the time but I sometimes use it for homework. The monitor was pretty cheap for the specs it has. I plan to buy another one, maybe a different model though for variety.

I ordered 2 of these in order to upgrade my gaming setup. The picture is great, resolution is fantastic, color and HDR is spot on and refresh rate is superb. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is because of one of the monitors already having dead pixels showing in the middle of the primary viewing area. Samsung offered to return and refund for a replacement, but that's just a hassle. It's not convenient to try and ship a monitor back and then deal with their hassle of a refund system. It's a bit disappointing, and will definitely influence my next monitor purchase.

Less than a year old and started having issues. Both a horizontal and vertical line showed up on the monitor and would not go away. I assume is stopped drawing these pixels. It is still under warranty and the Samsung online help was great in setting me up to have it shipped to be checked and repaired. But soon after that I started getting a bunch of irritating texts and phone calls from Samsung asking questions I had already answered and then very quickly they cancelled the help ticket. Samsung seems to want to make it very difficult or impossible to have the warranty honored.

This monitor is perfect and has practically 0 flaws other than the fact that Samsung won't ever get any money from me again for another monitor since I'll never need another one.

This monitor has changed the way I utilize my computer. Not only are the games visually clearer and smoother but also clear and smooth when I'm web browsing or doing my homework. With such a high resolution, I have a lot of desktop space for my icons and having windows open. The colors are vibrant and the high hz make my gameplay more predictable.

ve been using the Samsung Odyssey G50D primarily for gaming and occasional streaming, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make gameplay incredibly smooth, especially in fast-paced titles like Call of Duty and Apex Legends. The QHD resolution delivers crisp and vibrant visuals, which really brings out the detail in both games and movies. I also appreciate the curved screen - it adds a level of immersion I didn't realize I was missing before. The monitor's design is sleek and modern, and it fits perfectly on my desk setup. Setting it up was straightforward, and the on-screen display settings are intuitive. I haven't experienced any issues with screen tearing or input lag, which is a huge plus for competitive gaming. Overall, the Odyssey G50D has become an essential part of my daily routine - whether I'm grinding through matches or watching a movie at night. Highly recommend it to gamers or anyone looking for a high-performance display

Upgraded my monitor from a cheap Onn to this G5 and loving every bit of it. The detail is sharper and the colors are brighter, I would definitely recommend it every time.

When I wanted a new monitor for gaming, I chose Samsung. I have lots of other Samsung products, and they've all been great and reliable. Of course, I made sure the monitor had all the necessary features. It has QHD resolution, an IPS panel, a fast refresh rate and response time, and is compatible with AMD FreeSync. It's been a pleasure to use and I haven't had a bit of trouble with it. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

This was my first actual gaming monitor after I got into PC gaming. The 180hz, 1440p, very easy set up and the ability to adjust the monitor in any way you want. I wouldn't necessarily call this a budget monitor but it is worth the money. The only thing I do not like (nothing to do with performance or screen quality) is the plastic stand cover in the back. Never seems to stay on no matter what I do. Other than that, it's actually a very nice monitor and well worth the money.

I've utilizing this monitor for watch YouTube, Netflix, hulu, but mainly for gaming, and the visuals compared to my old monitor are astounding. Also with the stand I bought i can put this monitor whereever I need which ever way I need to face it, and I don't miss a beat whether it's the enemies head or the fine details of the movie.

I've been using the monitor for a while now, and it's been a great addition to my setup. The screen quality is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the overall experience feels smooth whether I'm gaming or working. The curved design adds a nice level of immersion, especially for gaming. It's also comfortable for long hours of use, which is important to me. The build quality is solid, and it has a clean, modern look that fits well on my desk. If you're looking for a monitor that balances performance and design, this one is definitely worth considering.

I've been using the Samsung Odyssey G7 32-inch for a few weeks now, and it's exceeded my expectations in every way. The 1000R curved display is incredibly immersive, making me feel like I'm right in the middle of the action. The 32-inch size is perfect - large enough to be enveloping, but not so big that it feels overwhelming on my desk. The QHD resolution (2560x1440) is fantastic, offering crisp and vibrant visuals. Colors pop, and the details are sharp, which is a big step up from my previous 1080p monitor. I'm also a fan of the 240Hz refresh rate - everything feels so smooth and fluid, especially in fast-paced games like shooters or racing sims. Paired with the 1ms response time, it's really made a difference in my gameplay. There's no ghosting or lag, just pure, responsive action. The monitor's support for both G-Sync and FreeSync has also made a noticeable improvement in terms of eliminating screen tearing. Even during intense gaming sessions, everything runs seamlessly, regardless of whether I'm using an NVIDIA or AMD GPU. Lastly, the build quality is excellent. The monitor feels sturdy, and the futuristic design looks great on my setup. It's a premium monitor, but worth every penny for anyone looking for high performance and immersion in gaming.

I use it for Music Production primarily which the curved nature saves me money time, sanity, and especially SPACE when running multiple Audio Plug-ins AND professional recording software simultaneously. Most musicians resort to using 2, 3, or more fairly large monitors in order to manage the software they use efficiently when making music, but not I, not anymore. The length of this screen is astonishingly more space and cost efficient, as well as eco friendly in contrast to my old multi monitor set up, which also was more often than not a clunky cumbersome mess. And the visual acuity of a gaming monitor is a nice bonus too. Thanks Samsung! ??

This monitor is great for both AMD freesync and Gsync features, great refresh rate and amazing ips colors The only downside is the large black frame surrounding the screen and I wished I got the 32" for a small price difference
