Customer Ratings & Reviews

Used 3 of these for my Sim Racing Rig, and they feel great. They are sharp, bright and look great. For the price, I couldn't be happier. My rig turned out great, and the bezels are decently narrow for the Triple wide setup.

The screen is a little too bright and sometimes the HDR distorts the image. Other than that, the picture quality is clear and the colors look good. Overall, it’s a nice computer and works well for everyday use.

At first I was hesitant about playing at 1440p on a 32 inch monitor but I love it. The size and quality is great and it's an excellent buy at $219.99, though I wouldn't buy it if it's not on sale. Definitely going to keep it as my main monitor

The product is great for me when using my DJ program. But when I needed it for my Zoom Call I found out it didn't have a camera. Total bummer. Now I have to spend more money on a camera or pull my old monitor back out. I wish this was mentioned to me while I was at the store

Given the use of DP ports these have stayed stable unlike LG ultra gear which blew to DP ports out.

I love the brightness and the stand lets you rotate it any direction and its super lightweight.

The Odyssey G5 monitor is an excellent QHD monitor, as soon turn it on you instantly recognize the upscaled picture quality. The brightness of the screen is decent, even in a well-lit room (I have my setup directly next to a window). While its under 400 nits of brightness Samsung monitors do an excellent job with contrast which surprisingly makes up for the lack of 1000+ nit brightness numbers. The monitor itself is very lightweight, and it has a very understated look. It doesn’t scream “gaming monitor” at all and is very sleek and minimalistic. I was disappointed to find only one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. I would have preferred to see multiple connections, enabling better flexibility. The response rate (180hz) is probably the biggest change I noticed almost straight away. Scrolling through pages up/down or left/right gives a smooth flowing motion and becomes a real pleasure to work on. The built in menu is easy to use and has plenty of adjustments for color profiles. The power button is awkwardly placed and is not easy to feel for (it's located on the back, in an unconventional location). Thankfully, the power saving features means you don’t have to reach for it often. This monitor does not have a built-in power supply transformer, so a power cable and brick is supplied. All HDMI cables etc are also supplied. The picture is bright and vivid with deep blacks, and very bright whites. Reds and blues are very rich in color too. This monitor was used on an Apple Mac Mini M4 connected with a HDMI cable. The monitor has a matte finish, which helps with reflections but doesn’t totally negate them. Overall it’s a solid budget gaming monitor that has great color and contrast.

I have been using this monitor for about 2 weeks and I just going to say it, a good entry level gaming monitor. If you’re looking for monitor that is a decent size, 32 inches, has good refresh rate (180 Hz), great display quality (QHD) and moderately priced then look no further. You will absolutely get what you pay for with the Samsung Odessey G5. So, let go over what the G5 has to offer. Dimensions and Setup: Height with stand: 24.6 inches Width: 9.9 inches Depth with stand: 9.9 inches Weight: 10.8 pounds Setting up this monitor is simply. Connect the stand to the base and tighten the screw, no tools required, connect the display and you are rolling. Display: The highlight of this monitor is its display, this is where Samsung shines. The G5 offers a 32 in QHD (1440p) or 2.5K display. the screen delivers sharp and detailed visuals that far surpass those of standard 1080p displays. This resolution is particularly well-suited to the monitor's size, ensuring that images and text appear crisp and clear, whether you're working or gaming. Color quality is another standout feature. The monitor produces bright, punchy, and incredibly clear colors that make every scene pop. The Samsung G5 brings out detail in both dark and bright scenes, allowing for a truly immersive viewing experience. When it comes to gaming, the combination of a 180Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 1ms response time means gameplay is smooth and responsive. Fast-paced games look crisp and run seamlessly, making every gaming session both fun and enjoyable. Design: Design-wise, it’s clean but very basic, very plasticky if want to put it that way. It doesn’t scream “gaming setup centerpiece,” more like “I’ll do my job and go home.” Also, not a very big fan of the button placement. The power/menu control button is located in the back, but the placement just seems off. Its feel like you have you have to put your whole hand back there to find it, just doesn’t feel natural. Input Ports: This is what irked me most on this monitor. The G5 offers only two inputs, 1 HDMI 2.0 and 1 DisplayPort 1.2. I was really bummed when I saw because my laptop does not offer an HDMI but rather a USB-C for display and which seems to be the trend now where manufactures are offering a USB-C input. It may not make a difference for someone but it did bother me a bit so I figured I put it out there. The good: • Big 32" screen makes games and content feel more immersive • Sharp QHD resolution • Smooth performance with 180Hz and adaptive sync • Clean, minimal design The not-so-great: • Limited Input ports • Doesn’t feel premium overall Overall, it’s a really solid pick if you want a bigger screen with smooth performance and great visuals without going crazy on price. Would defiantly recommend if your looking to upgrade from your current 1080p to something better.

The Samsung 32” Odyssey G5 (G50F) monitor is a fantastic gaming monitor that excels with its 180Hz refresh rate. I like the slim design and body of this monitor. The colors displayed are vivid and the images are always crisp. The dimensions for the screen of this 32” gaming monitor are 28” W x 24” H x 9”D with the stand. In the box you get the 32” monitor with stand, power cable, DP cable, and HDMI cable. Everything you need to plug and play, so you can be ready to game right out of the box. The lightning fast 1ms response time is impressive and keeps me in the action for all my fast-paced FPS, RPG, sports, driving, and online play games. The 180Hz refresh rate doesn’t disappoint as it keeps the screen lag free for all the various scenarios. The IPS panel gives a broad 178 degree viewing angle and the colors remain vivid and easy to see. QHD resolution gives me a bold 2560 x 1440p pixel density. NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility keeps the monitor from tearing images and eliminating screen lag. The HDR10 performs very well with bold contrast and accurate color representation. The gameplay looks amazing, but the cinematic scenes look even more stunning while gaming. This monitor also can pivot, swivel, tilt, and adjust up/down with height adjust. More features that help with gaming specifically are the ability to have an on-screen virtual aim point. It has helped me with precision and accuracy to hit my mark faster and increase my chances of staying alive in fast paced games. The black equalizer feature allows for a more pronounced image on the screen allowing me to see better during dark scenes in the game. In a way it helps me to see things that could be lurking or hiding in dark caves or alleyways. The Odyssey monitor also has Auto Source Switch+ which works very effectively so that I can game with one PC and do productivity work with my other laptop. The monitor will detect when a connect device is turned on and instantly switches to the new signal. Overall the Samsung Odyssey G5 is a great monitor that works well for gaming and productivity. Fast response time, nice design, and clean aesthetic look. The 32” screen size works well for all my various needs. Bold screen size with vivid colors that pop.

The 2560x1440 QHD resolution is probably my favorite part of the monitor. It provides a noticeable upgrade over standard 1080p while still being much easier to run at high frame rates than 4K. For a gaming PC, this is a really good resolution to pair with a capable graphics card. Games look significantly more detailed, textures are sharper, and there is a lot more room to appreciate the detail in modern games. The 32-inch size also makes the higher resolution feel worthwhile because you can actually take advantage of the additional screen real estate. The 180Hz refresh rate is another huge advantage. Everything feels noticeably smoother when compared with a standard 60Hz display. Fast camera movements in games are much cleaner, scrolling through websites feels smoother, and the entire desktop experience feels more responsive. For competitive games especially, the high refresh rate makes a noticeable difference. Once you get used to 180Hz, going back to 60Hz makes everything feel much less fluid. The 1ms response time is also great for gaming. Fast-moving objects stay relatively clear, and the monitor feels responsive when making quick movements. Combined with the 180Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync support, it makes for a very smooth gaming experience. The monitor supports both AMD FreeSync and is G-Sync compatible, which is especially useful if you want to reduce screen tearing and stuttering when your frame rate fluctuates. The Fast IPS panel is another major reason I like this monitor. IPS panels are generally known for providing better viewing angles and strong color reproduction compared with many budget VA or TN panels, and this monitor produces a very good-looking image. Colors are vibrant without looking completely unnatural, and the overall picture has a nice amount of contrast and detail. Games, videos, photographs, and everyday content all look good on the screen. I also appreciate that Samsung didn't make the monitor look excessively aggressive or covered in unnecessary gaming design elements. The design is relatively clean and understated. It looks good on a gaming desk but would also fit perfectly well in a more professional setup. The monitor is relatively slim, and it can also be mounted using a 100x100mm VESA mount, which gives you the option of using a monitor arm if you want to save desk space. The stand is sturdy and does its job well. It keeps the monitor stable while gaming, and the overall construction feels solid for a monitor in this price range. The screen itself has a matte finish, which helps reduce reflections and makes it easier to use in a room with lighting or windows. I also like that Samsung includes both a DisplayPort cable and HDMI cable, so you can get it connected without immediately needing to purchase additional cables. Connectivity is probably the one area where I would have liked to see a little more. The monitor has one HDMI input and one DisplayPort input, which is enough for a straightforward gaming PC setup, but additional inputs would have made it more versatile for people who regularly switch between multiple systems. If you have a desktop and a console or laptop that you want connected simultaneously, the limited number of inputs is something to keep in mind. For the price, I think this monitor is extremely difficult to complain about. You are getting a 32-inch QHD Fast IPS display running at up to 180Hz with a 1ms response time and support for both FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility. That combination would have been considered a premium feature set not that long ago, and Samsung has managed to package it into a relatively affordable monitor. I would especially recommend this monitor to someone upgrading from a basic 1080p 60Hz display. The difference is immediately noticeable. The larger screen, higher resolution, better colors, and dramatically higher refresh rate make the computer feel like a completely different setup. It is also a very good choice for someone who wants a large screen without moving all the way up to an ultrawide or 4K monitor. Overall, the Samsung Odyssey G5 G50F has been an excellent monitor and a great value. It delivers the features that actually matter for gaming rather than wasting money on unnecessary extras. The 32-inch QHD Fast IPS panel looks fantastic, 180Hz makes everything feel incredibly smooth, and the 1ms response time and adaptive sync support make it a very capable gaming display. The limited inputs and awkward rear control are minor drawbacks, but neither comes close to outweighing the strengths of the monitor. I would absolutely recommend. It offers a great combination of size, resolution, color, responsiveness, and refresh rate, and at a sale price around $220 it becomes an especially strong value. Samsung really hit a sweet spot with this monitor, and I think it is a fantastic choice for both gaming and everyday computer use.

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for large monitors, to the point that my daily driver is a 4k 40" TV. I know that a TV is not the best gaming platform which is why I want a large high resolution high refresh rate gaming monitor, which is where this 32" Odyssey G5 comes in Packaging: To start it comes in a large brown Samsung box, no special frills here, packed well in styrofoam with 1 HDMI, 1 displayport cable, the power block and some minor documentation. Use: I was immediately struck by how thin this monitor is. I'm no strange to thin displays but for a 32" this seemed exceptionally thin, with just a bump out where the monitor stand connects. The power block cord is somewhat short, so keep that in mind when setting it up, though I do appreciate that it is a 2-prong connector instead of 3-prong. I live in an old house and sometimes 3-prong power is a little more difficult to find. The monitor does only have 1 HDMI and 1 DP input, where some these days have multiples. On connection it was easily recognized though I did see that at full resolution with HDMI connected to a current Alienware laptop Windows only recognized it at 144hz. So it's worth noting that 180hz is not achievable at full resolution over HDMI. If this monitor supported HDMI 2.1 instead of 2.0 this would be a different story. On a separate note, it should support 165hz at full resolution with DP 1.2, but in either case you would need to drop your resolution to achieve 180hz. Gaming is buttery smooth, and the color replication from the monitor is superb. I may even have this replace my daily driver despite the smaller size and resolution just because it's such a nice experience. Overall: It's an extremely well made monitor, quick and beautiful. The limitation of 144hz at maximum resolution due to the HDMI 2.0 spec is a little bit of a bummer, but still it's a great monitor.

The Samsung - 32" Odyssey G5 (G50F) IPS monitor is a widescreen 2560x1440 QHD with HDR10 and G-Sync. It has up to 180 Hz refresh, and a 1 ms response time. It has one HDMI and DP input along with a 3.5mm headset output. Power and control are on the back of the monitor. Control is done through a standard mini joystick to move through the menus. It comes with a stand and can be mounted on a 100x100mm VESA mount. The monitor is thin and light, making it easy to mount or adjust as needed. The monitor is about 28”x15”. I used this as a monitor with a laptop and a desktop. Whether HDMI or DP, the monitor worked with no issues. The monitor responded to various refresh rates with no problems. It was smooth whether at a locked refresh rate or allowed to go to the maximum. The colors are spectacular. Colors pop and the blacks are black with no bleeding. I tried it with several types of games, and the colors were always great. I was using HDR the whole time with Nvidia GPU cards. The 1ms response time means you don’t have to worry about any latency. This is a great step up from a 1080p monitor without taking up the space of an ultra wide and the price for them. Stepping up to a larger monitor and more pixels with a fast refresh and response time will help with any gaming. This is a solid monitor with great features for getting the most out of your games.

Very easy to assemble. It also comes with both HDMI and DP cables. Very nice. Only 1 Display Port and 1 HDMI port included. There is a great tilt range, forward – back and left-right. I liked the stand too as it has a small foodprint but is also sturdy. You can also adjust the height. There is also a cord clip in the back. The worst feature about this monitor is that the power button is on the back of the monitor. Poor design as you are fumbling to power on/off and use the onscreen menu. I did a lot of color tweaking and some other settings too, which required a lot of fumbling. The directions say that you can wall mount, not sure how you would reach the button very easily. That said, it is a great gaming monitor. The 180Hz refresh rate via the Display Port is excellent for fast paced gaming. So much better than my previous monitor. Color saturation and blacks were nice BUT you have to tweak the settings. I ended up tweaking them a little different based on the game. I may keep tweaking until I find the exact balance. Really don’t like that the power / setting button is on the back of the monitor. You will need a speaker with this monitor as it doesn’t include one. I always think they should come with speakers as some users won’t have their own setup. It did work great with my speaker setup. Colors were very bright and the blacks were deep. Again – tweak the settings. I do recommend this monitor, especially at this price point. They just need to move the power button and add a few more ports.

I bought the 32-inch G50F primarily for productivity and general computer use, and the Fast IPS panel was the deciding factor. The QHD picture is sharp, colors look natural, and text remains easy to read even with several windows open. Motion is extremely smooth at the higher refresh rate, and setup was simple. The screen is large without feeling impractical on a normal desk. Overall, it delivers the image quality and performance I wanted at a very good price.

Monitor arrived well packaged an undamaged. It was easy to set up. Like the ability to adjust the height and angle. It has a good field of view. Display quality is very good and response rate to gaming is very good. So far I am well pleased with this purchase. I would buy it again.

IPs, 1440, 32”, 180Hz Is the end goal for 5070ti/7800x3D. Currently 110-120hz out the box game settings in content manager. Got 3 of these. Chose this ips over va panels cause it’s got higher brightness. Tested out g51f from Samsung and returned it asap because the strong anti-glare that makes it blurry and not sharp picture quality. Also, g51f has bad viewing angles because of its VA panels. Also tested oled ASUS in the middle. Great colors but doesn’t match and FPS was wasted cause sim games only go up to 120fps anyways. And when all 3 monitors match, u won’t be able to tell the difference from the high quality of single center oled.

I've purchased several of these monitors for my family both in the 32 inch and 27 inch. The monitor is very sturdy and well built. The colors are very vibrant and clear and the refresh rate is great whether using the monitor for gaming or for work. I highly recommend this monitor.

It only took me less than 3 minutes to install this monitor and it works. It is easy to install and the monitor has very nice display for my use with my other 32-inch monitor.

Huge, not for the average computer user. Picture quality is astronomical. Definitely good for gaming or if you have seeing issues. I think it would help. For the average user I think it is overkill. It performs well, color is great, refresh rate fast.

I was looking for some new monitors to go with my Mac mini. This monitor has a good refresh rate and the colors are vibrant. I think this is an excellent monitor for it's price point.
