Samsung Odyssey G5 27" QHD 165Hz Curved Gaming Monitor

The Odyssey G5 is a great product from Samsung, with its 27" QHD panel, 165hHz refresh rate, and a whopping 1440p display set in the 1080p price range, yet it still feels lacking in color, this could just be because I have not spent time on manually setting the colors on the screen to my liking.

Compare the out of box experience to the LG Ultra Gear 27GQ50F-B 27" FHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor, The color feels very faded to me. This could just be my personal preference, but it is also my very first curved 1440p screen. So this might be normal. Just might take some getting used to.

I would recommend this if you are looking for a 1440p screen on a budget.

Pros: The screen is very lightweight compared to its counterparts.
Power Cords and HDMI & DPI Cables included
1440p Resolution

Cons: The colors are a bit too bright/faded for me
Non-adjustable stand, so you can't adjust the height although the packaging does inform you of this.
Feels very cheap and not sturdy at all.

I purchased this monitor after months of research and it was a for a good reason it is a very high quality material very good colour very bright even when you view it from the Side. the high frame rate feels very smooth the 1440p resolution is extremely clear overall it is a 10/10 monitor. I couldn’t be more happy with the monitor the only things I would change are the stand the stand is very wide and bulky this I can change though so I think I will in the future and the only “ick” of this monitor being the flashing blue light on the bottom which you might just need to toggle off in settings. Still with all the factors it is a 10/10 monitor....view more I purchased this monitor after months of research and it was a for a good reason it is a very high quality material very good colour very bright even when you view it from the Side. the high frame rate feels very smooth the 1440p resolution is extremely clear overall it is a 10/10 monitor.

I was looking for a 27x1440 monitor for my computer and this one came up on special. The quality (resolution) is excellent, but I don't use it for gaming and I haven't tried its in-built speakers. An excellent monitor for the price. I was looking for a 27x1440 monitor for my computer and this one came up on special.

Have brought this one for my son for his birthday and he absolutely loves it.
Was the last one in lower north and was stocked to have got it.
Staff were helpful and pointed me in the right direction. Have brought this one for my son for his birthday and he absolutely loves it.

Have had for a little over a week, and it's excellent!
The curved design takes some time to get used to, but due to the curve shape, it's a little easier to watch from certain angles.

Used on a PS4 and PS5, and both look far better than my old 1080p TV.

My only issues are lack of ports (there's only 2 video out ports) and no mini speaker setting. But the speaker thing is expected for monitors. Have had for a little over a week, and it's excellent!

First time buying an HDR product and it makes a massive improvement to the visuals of every game First time buying an HDR product and it makes a massive improvement to the visuals of every game

This is a great monitor for its price range with a high refresh rate at 1440p. I am incredibly pleased with my purchase. Would recommend if you are in the market for a 1440p 27inch gaming monitor.
