Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Samsung 27" Odyssey monitor is a great monitor for just about any task (gaming, productivity, streaming etc.). Connectivity wise you have two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DP (display port - NOTE: this is not listed in the specs), one USB-A port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. While the USB port is meant for servicing, I like to use it as a power source to charge 5v low power things like wireless earbuds. The monitor was nicely packaged and came with a power supply, HDMI cable and DP cable. Setup was straight forward and easy. Out of the box I didn't feel the need to adjust any settings. This is an IPS panel and the viewing angle is fantastic, 178 degrees. Two of us playing a multi player game had no issues at all seeing things clearly. Likewise the 240hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make for very smooth action in both gaming and video action. The contrast is excellent. Blacks were velvet black and not the dark gray you sometimes see in cheap monitors. The monitor can be extremely bright, which is a plus for a bright room. Of course the brightness is adjustable and in a moderately lit room I have the brightness at about 50% and it's plenty bright enough. The panel does get a little warm, and I wish that it had built in speakers but those are minor considerations. I'm very happy so far with this monitor.

For my review of this Samsung - 27" Odyssey G40B FHD IPS 240Hz 1ms G-Sync Gaming Monitor, I give it a 5 out of 5 stars. Out of the box the monitor is very easy to assemble. Simply attach the base to the stand neck, fasten tight with screw, and push the assembled stand into the main body per figures as shown. The monitor glides well on the stand, up and down, pivots left and right, and finally rotates from landscape to portrait all with ease. Under the Samsung logo at the bottom of the monitor yields the 5-way multi-directional control button to aid in your video set-up. On the back of the monitor you will find an audio port for headphones or earphones, 2-HDMI ports, display port, USB port for software upgrades via thumb drive, and a 19V DC power port. This monitor packs all the features needed for every day use, graphics design, and gaming. The 27” display is good to used in confined spaces or to pair with another monitor for dual monitor use. This IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel type monitor allows for great color consistency along with viewing from extreme angles. The monitor brightness at 400 cd/㎡ (or 400 NIT) is good for use in bright rooms without the need for shades. The response time of 1ms (Gray-To-Gray) combined with the max 240 Hz refresh rate allows for ultra-smooth gameplay without blur or lag. The icing on the cake making this a monitor to own is the FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible features. You cannot go wrong with this monitor and highly recommend it. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it aided in your purchase decision.

I got this monitor to use with my gaming computer. Setting up the monitor with the computer took more time than I expected, but it wasn’t too bad. The directions were not very clear. There was some confusion with the cords. I felt there should have been a remote, but since its just a monitor, I guess that’s why there wasn’t one. The initial on-screen instructions were in Spanish as the default language. It was a little challenging to change to English, because I do not speak Spanish. After a few attempt, I was able to switch over to English. Once everything was set up, I was very impressed with the screen resolution. The colors are very vibrant, high resolution. The pictures are very clear, it looks like you can reach out and touch the images. Very good screen resolution. I feel like I am playing my games in HD, The monitor is just the right size. It makes playing my games more fun. The stand is adjustable, so I am able to move it to different heights. The base is stable. It was relatively easy to set up the monitor itself. No complaints. I am very pleased with this monitor.

Purchased for my son and LOVES it! Have always shopped at Best Buy for my electronic needs, never disappointed.

This Monitor Was Easy To Setup . Literally 3 Clicks and its put together . The Crosshair Feature is the best that i have used . I used to mainly use my 144hz lg monitor with the same crosshair feature but the 240hz stood out with games like cod and apex , and the crosshair makes it so easy to aim on to enemies it feels like cheating lol

Nicely designed IPS mid range gaming monitor for 1080 gamers. High refresh panel which is G Sync compatible (certified with Displayport cable by Nvidia). Note that G Sync compatable is a step below full G SYNC and may give you less options in certain games (there are several articles and videos on available showing the differences). Panel is 240 Hz and functioned well in the games I tested. Excellent stand able to turn portrait if so desire. HDR400 which is lower HDR specification which is absent on many gaming monitors especially in the FHD range. No speakers although with HDMI cable your PC will think the monitor is a sound output device (this can be confusing). Outside of gaming I find a 16:9 1920 x 1080 panel quite frustrating. Pixel size is large at 27 inch and if doing spreadsheets or even web browsing you will be scrolling quite a bit. If watching videos or connecting a console you should be fine but I greatly prefer at least 1200 pixels vertically outside of gaming. Viewing angles are quite good and the monitor and stand have a quality feel which I prefer over say an inexpensive Dell monitor.

The Samsung 27" Odyssey G40B FHD IPS 240Hz 1ms G-Sync Gaming Monitor in Black is a very nice monitor tuned for rendering games quickly and beautifully. The monitor comes very nicely packaged and is easy to set up needing only that its bottom support feet be screwed into the monitor. It fires up quickly once plugged in using Samsung's proprietary power cord and comes with both video and HDMI cords. I'd recommend you use the video cord for speed and qwuality rendering/color. The Samsung 27" Odyssey G40B FHD IPS 240Hz 1ms G-Sync Gaming Monitor is designed to be used with current day games but its fabulous color saturation and brightness makes it great for everyday computing as well. The monitor adjusts up/down, sise to side and tilts to the position you find perfect. I am replacing an HP 24" monitor that is getting somewhat old and tired and am amazed at the difference in quality this new monitor has and the brightness and quick start up it exhibits. I had no idea monitors could be improved so much in just a few years. For the money, I would definitely recommend this monitor to you!

The screen is not flat but curved out in the middle

Bought it for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Really good monitor.

This was the easiest setup ever. Just plug and play!

Great monitor ive always bought predator monitors expensive monitors this is a GREAT cheap alternative honestly for the price theres nothing wrong with it one of the best monitors ive had

Very easy to use for the first time. Instructions are clear. Comfortable for work. A good quality so far

Very good quality monitor. Games look very good and the refresh rate is high (240).

I have had 2 of these for about 3 years and have been really impressed. I have since added a G5 32" and it is also amazing. I have been highly recommending Samsung TV's, soundbars and monitors and don't see that changing.

I really like this monitor - it replaced another brand 24inch gaming monitor. My initial thoughts were that the brightness was higher, and I really like the bezel. That is something I don't usually notice. I just want it to be thin, but this one has nice look to it and not just "disappear" In terms of setup, its literally plug and play. Power box and then your device. I have both my PC and XSX connected via HDMI. The xbox picked up the 120Hz immediately. Motion is really smooth, . So that setup was really easy. The PC did the same thing. I have extended my gaming laptop monitor and it works well. I did not utilize the base stand rather choosing to mount it via the VESA 100. but the mount connects the same way. Choose your options I do have a Samsung 4K monitor on another system. And this Odyssey is a bit brighter across the board. I think i might prefer the 27 over the 32 for this reason on gaming. The motion is a bit smoother in playing games like rocket league and fortnite. Played a few other games and the census is the same for both myself and my son. Work wise, the monitor is nice and smooth for text and displaying programming screens. Its very crisp. So i love the dual function i'm getting from this unit. Connection are 2xHDMI and 1XDP this feature didn't seem to work for me Auto Source Switch+ - i guess its because my PC is always on even though it is asleep. none the less, I have to manually change inputs between PC and XSX

This monitor sucks, please do not waste your money. The resolution is absolute trash and is not compatible with laptops.

This monitor is the best set it with my PS5 let me tell you this quality with will blow your mind playing Warzone is amazing and the price is great

Excellent monitor for a seasoned gamer! Great picture, no lag, no complaints.

went from a 4k 120hz to a 1080p 240hz only reason being is that it was way too big and my eyes would get irritated because of how close i was. Perfect replacement and i’m happy with it.

Overall, it is a very good monitor, with no issues so far, as it has only been around a week. The quality difference from a 60hz monitor is pretty noticeable too.
