Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] This monitor is probably one of the best OLED monitors under $1,000, and definitely well worth spending the money for it. The model I had purchased was actually an open box model in excellent rated condition. The monitor after unboxing it was basically in brand new condition, and even had the plastic wrapping still on everything like the back of the monitor, and the power box for the power cord, which is in a design I really love, because it helps keep the monitor from heating up by having a battery box connected to the cord itself to manage the heat from the electricity. The display on the monitor is absolutely stunning, as the contrast and colors literally scream the best viewing experience possible. The QHD resolution is also a nice choice, because it helps mitigate extra cost by not being 4K UHD, which would add another $200 minimum. The big seller alongside the OLED however, is the 360Hz refresh rate, which is as of now, the best you can get in the consumer market for not spending a few organ donations. As a rhythm game player, this is a major key selling point as the Hz of a monitor is key for these kinds of games, as well as FPS games if you want to play on a competitive level. The build on the monitor itself is also very sturdy, the swivel stand is extremely smooth moving it around, the only real complaint I had about it was the 7 attempts I had to do to actually snap the monitor into the stand itself, which was a challenge for me for some reason. Here’s the minor flaw however. Despite being a 1440p monitor, if you’re trying to read text on it, it can be a LITTLE bit blurry, causing some minor issues but it definitely isn’t a deal breaker for me. If you’re using the monitor for gaming, photo editing, or content creation, 100% consider investing into a G6, or even higher if you prefer an ultrawide. If you’re using the monitor for office work or anything of the such that deals with documents or excel type stuff, definitelt an okay choice but be ready to deal with a little bit of blurriness trying to read text.

Overall, a great performing monitor. Colors looks great, refresh rate is one of the best offered. Only downside, like others have mentioned, the power button is made a very cheap plastic and has broken off of the monitor. Picture included shows how it snapped while going to use it earlier today. Since then, I have fully removed the button so I can continue to use it. Looks like everyone else has gone through the process to replace it and it isn't worth the effort. Does not alter the performance or function of the monitor, just an annoying problem to have for a $700 monitor....

As far as QD-OLEDs go, this one is certainly one of the best. It has a matte coating, which I am personally a fan of so that's a plus for me. Of course, the natural characteristics of OLED displays apply to this one too, so you're getting a quality panel with all the advantages of OLED technology. The stand is also very adjustable and does not take up a lot of space on my desk so form factor is another plus. However, one of the cons of this monitor is that it is poorly set up from the factory as far as color settings go. I had to spend quite a bit of time getting it to look how I wanted it to, but once I figured it out it, I haven't had to touch the settings again. Also, the software with Samsung monitors is buggy and can be awkward to use. I had some instances where a certain port on the monitor would glitch out and Id have to change where my cable is plugged into. Firmware updates and using the HDMI ports have solved most, if not all, of these issues however. Currently, the monitor is working amazingly. If you are ok with fiddling around in the menus and fine tuning your settings, this monitor is perfect for you. If you're looking for a great out-of-the-box experience, perhaps look elsewhere.

I am currently giving it a 4 star rating due to having to return the first one because of flickering issues. But the second one is working great. I am currently playing War Hammer 2 & Wukong and i have to say that the picture quality is great! I am no stranger to oled.. i have a few Oled TVs (LG CX) and i have to say that this monitor holds its own.. oh, and did i mention that it also has crazy refresh rates! (PC gaming)!

Solid monitor, the oled really shines out the colors would recommend for gaming competitively

The picture and motion on this is amazing but I have to say not even a month of using it & I got a dead/stuck blue pixel. It’s not super noticeable so no serious complaints just noteworthy.

Quick response with razor sharp graphics. Big OLED bang for the bucks

Great monitor. Haven’t had ANY issues with it. If you have some extra cash and looking for a monitor, HIGHLY recommend giving the G6 a chance.

Amazing monitor detail is fabulous. Works with Gsync also

The Samsung 27" Odyssey OLED G6 has been a great monitor for me. I have been using it for almost six months now, and it has performed consistently well. The 360Hz refresh rate and OLED panel make everything look incredibly smooth and vibrant, especially during gaming. The response time is excellent, and overall performance has been flawless. It was easy to set up and connect, and it works well with VESA monitor mounts and clamps, which made my desk setup much cleaner. My only wishes are that it were 4K instead of QHD and that it had built in speakers. While the display quality is excellent, having those extra features would have made it nearly perfect. Overall, it is a fantastic gaming monitor with top tier performance and beautiful visuals, just missing a couple of convenience features.

Has a beautiful image and the PIP mode is extremely nice, particularly for playing games while having a show or youtube playing in the added window. Settings are easy to navigate and adjust. The sleek silver design makes it look extra nice as opposed to some of the more "gaming" looking monitors.

Let me preface by saying that I've had at least 6-7 different PC monitors since 2013. Why? Because I've always wanted the best competitive advantage and the past 10-11 years have been a onslaught of incremental improvements as far as display technology goes. 144hz (2013) to 240hz (2017) to 360hz (2020) and now response times, color reproduction, and black levels are finally starting to peak. It's not uncommon to hear the term "end game", especially on the OLED side, since there is no need to tweak response overdrive inside the monitor OSD itself. Perfect motion based on the refresh rate itself. GENERAL THOUGHTS: As I stated above, this monitor isn't going to disappoint in regards to absolute speed. I'm pretty certain this is the fastest monitor I've had my hands on in regardless to raw "input lag" due to the combination of 0.3ms response rate and a 360hz refresh rate. My previous first gen 360hz IPS monitor feels a bit more "laggy" side by side with Adaptive sync/G-Sync display technology disabled and set to its optimal overdrive setting. I'm certain this is the current peak in this metric.. and possibly even faster than the newer 540hz TN panels since those require voltage overdrive and have around a 1-2ms delay from response alone. For those competitive players that I'm talking to, this is definitely a solid option in the 1440p space. I would still consider a newer 540hz TN if you like 1080p Resolution. (As of this review on 06/2024) MATTE SCREEN: I hate to be that person, but the Anti-glare coating is actually worse than the newer WOLED 32" "matte" model that a friend of mine uses. I would say this better than your traditional IPS screen, but the color reproduction is a little worse than I imagined? - The Glossy QD-OLED that I have just "Pops" a bit more and look better in a mid lit room subjectively speaking. - I would Say QD OLED (Glossy) > WOLED (LG Panel.. semi-matte) > QD-OLED (Matte) as far as color "pop" goes.. but again.. this is a subjective factor. Take my opinion of this with a grain of salt. If you're looking for a matte screen, this may be absolutely amazing since reflections are minimal. I'm not trying to downplay this as "bad" either.. But I DO think WOLED or QD OLED glossy is better for me. UNIQUE FEATURES: This OLED design seems to include a functional vapor chamber in its backplate for cooling. This should promote greater longevity relative to alternative vendors using a basic assembly. I think it's pretty cool at least. There are teardowns on the internet if you want to see this. CONS: The monitor was marketed as a metal design, but its only really the base plate that is. The main assembly is silver plastic down to the arm. Is the arm as solid as other premium monitors? I'm afraid not.. but its passable and better than many Samsung legacy products of the past. Certain competitors just do better. Text clarity is also subpar... I used to have a 240hz 1440p IPS monitor and this is certainly a step below that one. For pure visuals, the 4k OLED (QD-OLED & WOLED) stuff is going be better, but the trade off is rendering over 2x the pixels from 1440p.. As you might have guessed, this is due to not using a traditional RGB pixel layout on windows. Samsung's Pixel layout looks like a triangle. The packaging is poor relative to most top brands in market.. I'm actually really disappointed that Samsung didn't put as much effort into the presentation or security of certain components like the monitor Arm. This isn't going to matter as much once you have the product, but I would pick up this monitor in your local best buy store and not have it shipped. OVERALL: I still consider this a top tier monitor, but I wouldn't say "end game". I think Samsung offers a solid package here, but its being held back by the aggressive matte coating (my opinion) and sub par text clarity from my perspective... Not to say that it isn't good... but its more like IPS "fixed" rather than "oh wow OLED!" Given that I've had/have experience with 4K OLED.. I'd rate this one a step below that, granted this is one is ABSOLUTELY FASTER as a trade off. Competitive players? Yes, buy it.. It's currently one of the best options if you want to go 1440p. The screen size is also slightly smaller at around 26.5" where most IPS 1440P Panels are 27" exact. If you like Matte? Also buy it. It does a good job and reducing reflections and better than the competitor WOLED in that regard. People that like looking at Glossy OLED TV's? Maybe skip this one. I'm giving it a 4/5 because its still better than legacy IPS/TN/VA stuff on market.. The raw speed of the monitor secures its higher rating. Well optimized.

For the past week, I've been testing the new Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD). Overall, it's a fantastic monitor with some minor annoyances and a questionable bezel design. Setup was extremely simple and required no tools. It consisted of just three parts that twisted or snapped into place. The stand is fully adjustable, and the 27-inch screen is the perfect size for productivity. The port selection on the back is excellent. It has 2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort, 1 AUX jack, 2 USB-A ports, and a USB-B port for data transfer. When it comes to performance, the OLED panel is fantastic. I love the glare-free matte coating, which effectively rejects light reflection from any direction. The black levels and brightness are amazing, and color reproduction is some of the most vivid I've seen on a desktop monitor. Furthermore, the 360Hz refresh rate provides a very smooth picture, and the sub-millisecond response times of 0.03ms make this monitor ideal for competitive gaming. This monitor also features backlighting, which is a nice touch. It looks great if the back of the monitor is exposed, but if it's facing a wall, it's not bright enough to provide significant ambient lighting. The on-screen menu is fairly simple to use and offers a decent amount of customization for the monitor. However, on initial startup, I keep getting a "calibration not complete" error, and there is no clear menu option for calibration. Additionally, the nub for navigating the menu may need some break-in time. Up, down, left, and right worked perfectly, but I found it took multiple tries to get it to accept a center press. This was a minor annoyance but something to consider. The bezels of this monitor are probably my biggest annoyance. While the monitor is powered off, they look minimal. When the monitor is powered on, they appear average. However, I've noticed a visible uneven 1/8 - 2/8 inch gap between the bezel and the display area. This is more prevalent on the right side of the screen, making the bezel look uneven. This probably wouldn't be a big deal for most people, but if you have OCD or plan on using two of these monitors, you will notice it. That said, if you prioritize speed and picture quality, I think this is a fantastic monitor. However, there are some minor annoyances to consider.

I’ve been searching for a monitor that doesn’t force me to choose between buttery-smooth performance and jaw-dropping visuals, and the Samsung G60SD is the first that genuinely feels like it refuses to make that compromise. Jumping from 144Hz to 360Hz with that 0.03ms response time is like taking weights off my ankles—motion blur basically doesn’t exist, and tracking targets in Valorant or Apex feels almost like cheating. But the real magic is that it doesn’t sacrifice picture quality to get there. The QD-OLED panel delivers deep, inky blacks and colors that make single-player games look absolutely spectacular, and the “Glare Free” matte coating actually works, letting me play during the day without staring at my own reflection. The brightness isn’t going to sear your eyeballs like a high-end Mini-LED, so if you’re in a sun-drenched room, it looks good but not mind-blowing, and text can show slight color fringing if you use it for work. If you’re a competitive gamer who also loves cinematic single-player titles, this is arguably the best monitor on the market right now. It gives you esports-level speed without forcing you to look at a washed-out screen when you switch to Cyberpunk or God of War. Physically, the monitor looks sleek with its thin silver finish, and the flat stand actually gives me a place to rest my controller. The price has finally started dropping to a reasonable range, and while it’s not cheap, it feels worth every penny for the versatility. Just know what you’re getting into with the brightness and text clarity, and you’ll be more than happy.

Amazing picture quality. Looks good in the games I’ve tried in the week since we’ve used it: Hogwarts Legacy, COD, Fortnite. I haven’t customized the display settings yet since the pc is also new, but I do get eye strain even while playing in the daytime. There’s an eye comfort menu option on the monitor (power button) that I turned on low but my eyes still hurt when playing for at least an hour. I’ve never had an OLED monitor so it may just be an OLED thing. Unboxing and set up was quick and simple. I do find the power button difficult to use with medium length nails. The monitor/stand also wobbles anytime the desk is slightly bumped into but it’s a solid monitor so I don’t think it’ll knock over.

This monitor looks really good at all angles and gets plenty bright enough for me to enjoy. having gone from an ips panel to this i noticed this one was not as bright and the colors seemed a little off so out of the box you definitelyhave to play with setting a bit but once you got it where you like it, its amazing.

This monitor looks amazing and has great color, response time, and doesn't scream gaming monitor which i love. The only consistent issue i have with the monitor is the pixel shift goes too far over and cuts of a decent chunk of the left side of the screen. and only the left side. The close button on mac will disappear and the only way to see it again is to restart the monitor. Samsung says this is a feature and not a bug, so i cant in good conscience give a 5 star review. 4 stars because it is inherently flawed. They say its not a problem if the edge is cut off on their wesbite, but i cant see buttons so it *is* an issue. Go with a different brand that doesnt have the issue with pixel shift cutting if your gonna spend that much money. There is no way this is working as intended.

The only thing I didn’t like was the size. So returned it for a bigger screen. Otherwise amazing.

Amazing visuals, I looked up to see if there’s a way to turn off the auto pixel refresher, but I don’t think there is. Still fine though

Great Monitor, just wish they had built in Speakers.
