Customer Ratings & Reviews

My overall experience has been good. The only issue i came across was, your only going to want to use one of the 2 cables that come with it otherwise your pc will think you have an extra screen

Does not have sound build into it or just came broken trying to get it fixed but now I have to pay additional money for a monitor just to see if it can even get repaired

Very good monitor for the price. Would purchase again.

I was going for more of graphic wen I purchased this monitor… but its still a good monitor

The graphics when playing is amazing! Really enjoy the quality it gives and the flexibility to move it how you want to. Definitely recommend this for WFH and if you're into gaming.

The stand isn't stable at the tallest setting. Mine tipped over face first and stopped working. Had it 3 months Best buy won't even let me return it

Volume doesn't work. no sound. Images are not as clear as I hoped. Taking it back tomorrow.

iI bought it on 11/26/2023 and I used a year and a week and today a random vertical lines showed up in my monitor. I visited repair service store and they said it is a monitor defect. There was no physical damage at all during i used it. I contacted customer service, but they said there's nothing they can do since the warranty is expired few days. This is annoying that i just wasted $240 for use of 1 year.

Too heavy, looks gross, and take a lot of space. Definitely not recommended to buy if you are not a gamer

The specs on this monitor are just what I needed for the gaming PC I bought my husband! He was very pleased with this monitor and the HDR settings.

Was a great monitor. Lasted a little over 30 days until a line formed left to right and up and down on the screen.

Get the OLED 1440p model. Don't waste your money on FHD garbage.

This is my first monitor, let me tell you this is the best purchase I’ve ever done for my gaming set up. So much better then playing on a tv.

Screen didn't come on. Needed to return it. Someone else was behind us with the same thing.

I wasnt aware of the 15 day return policy. This is the wrong monitor and i attempted to exchange it today, apparently 3 days past 15 days. After being a long time customer of best buy, I will never purchase from Best Buy again. This policy is ridiculous and doesnt allow time to account for shipping delays but still have items in time for birthday gifts.

monitor turns on but doesnt not show my computer screen. even the menu buttons on the bottom of the monitor dont work. i tried multiple different cords and was troubleshooting for hours and nothing helped.

The monitor had high refresh rate but sucked. I can find better better monitors for cheaper

This is a nice, reliable item. However, you can get a higher resolution for the same price now that I purchased this for.

Samsung - 27" Odyssey G40B FHD IPS 240Hz 1ms G-Sync Gaming Monitor – Black I have to say, I truly love this FHD monitor! As you can see from the description above, the specs are great. This monitor replaces a good spec’d HP gaming monitor. However, this one, in comparison, leaves my former one in the dust. Response time is wonderful at only 1ms, and with 240Hz this baby shows no lag in any way. With both adaptive G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, you’re synchronized between your monitor and GPU to avoid choppiness, image tears or screen lag, and it uses the correct one automatically whether you have an Intel or AMD setup. My previous gaming monitor was 24”, which has been the standard for gaming for a long time. But I’ve found that the 27” Samsung is the perfect size – you can “see” your total screen without moving your head at all or your eyes very much. I have a 32” monitor I’ve used for gaming, but it’s too large in that you have to move your eyes a lot, and even your head sometimes, to keep up with what’s going on in your game with the larger screen. Having a 27” gaming monitor also allows the objects on the screen to be a little larger (definitely noticeable from the 24” to the 27”), which is helpful in identifying objects more quickly. It also offers the option of a 21:9 ratio for an extra wide view should that be helpful to you. The Samsung 27” Odyssey G40B has HDR (High Dynamic Range), which means that, in short, it allows for improved brightness and color accuracy. The whites are whiter, and the blacks are blacker with the range of colors increased thus allowing more detail in the colors. What does all this mean? Simply that the screen has a clearer image bordering on the feel of a higher resolution. This is my impression comparing my 24” gaming monitor without HDR and the Samsung Odyssey with HDR. The Odyssey also detects when connected devices are turned on switching to the new signal automatically. Of course, you can swivel, tilt, and adjust the height of the monitor to your liking. The screen bezels are thin. It has 2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort (DP), power port, and an audio-out port. As I said at the beginning, I love this monitor!

I bought this monitor for my wife. When you boot up it says you need to register the device or it will be a black screen. Went to the Samsung website and got her an account. It doesn't recognize the model number and the website is down to registering it. To think I was thinking about getting myself a 4K monitor Samsung won't happen and probably never get anything from Samsung again. Never heard of you having to register anything to get it to work. Can't tell you if the product is good if you can't get it to work.
