This is my first time using a QHD monitor and that even at 180hz 27hz, the brightness on this is insane and perfect for working during bright days, I mostly use this for gaming and it has ticked all the boxes I need for a gaming monitor. 10/10 would buy it again

I’ve been searching for a monitor that could keep up with both my high-performance gaming sessions and productivity needs — and the Samsung Odyssey G5 27” has exceeded every expectation.
Right out of the box, the design is sleek, modern, and minimalistic — it instantly upgraded my desk setup. But the real magic happens when you power it on. The 1000R curvature is a game-changer. It wraps around your field of view in a way that feels incredibly immersive, pulling you deeper into games and making even the most mundane tasks feel cinematic.
The 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time create buttery-smooth gameplay, perfect for fast-paced titles like Warzone, Apex Legends, or Valorant. Ghosting? None. Tearing? Gone. Thanks to AMD FreeSync Premium, everything stays crisp and fluid, even during the most chaotic firefights.
I was equally impressed by the WQHD resolution (2560x1440) — it’s the sweet spot between 1080p and 4K, offering a sharp, vibrant display without taxing your GPU like 4K does. Colors are vivid, contrast is deep, and the VA panel does a fantastic job with dark scenes, making this a strong choice for both gaming and media consumption.
For work, the extra screen real estate is a productivity booster. I can have multiple windows open side-by-side with no clutter, and text is razor-sharp. After long hours, the Eye Saver Mode and Flicker-Free technology really help reduce eye strain.
My only minor complaint is the stand’s adjustability — it tilts but doesn’t swivel or offer height adjustment. However, it’s VESA-compatible, so I mounted it, and it’s now perfect.
All in all, the Samsung Odyssey G5 27” is a stunning blend of performance, design, and value. Whether you’re a gamer, creator, or professional, this monitor punches far above its price point.
If you're thinking about upgrading your display, this is the one. I picked mine up at Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier. Zero regrets — just pure screen bliss.

Overall a good product. The monitor has a very good display for the price, boasting a great pixel density and moderate refresh rate. The only issues I have are that the stand mount could be a bit lighter, and the button controls are a bit tedious to use.

This monitor is great for the price. The display is nice and vivid as well as decent refresh rate. The stand has good range of motion for desired height/tilt. Is a tad bit wobly but other than that very capable for the price.

Took me a bit to get used to the screen size, but definitely made gaming and watching videos easier. Also love that I could adjust the screen for eye comfort.

This monitor is so crisp and has an 180 refresh rate making it fast and look so good! The mount is adjustable to make it landscape and portrait and has a good amount of up and down tilt, its just the right size for a small room. It has a resolution of 1440p making videos and games look clear and detailed. It also has a built in reticle for shooting games and an eye saver mode that turns off blue light. I love that it has a Jack port to connect a speaker! I highly recommend!

I absolutely love my monitor. I have had my monitor for almost a year and I initially got it to use as an extended display for my laptop, for school. I recently purchased a PC for extended gaming, and the graphics are beautiful on this display. I 10/10 recommend getting this!

I bought this for my new gaming PC and it has been a joy. With gsync enabled it pairs well with the rtx 4060 that the PC came with. I have not had any issues so far and the games look flawless. For most people the 180hz 1ms QHD is a great choice especially for $209. There are other good choices out there like the LG 27” QHD 1ms 144hz monitor for $189 and the Acer 240 hz QHD .5 ms but this is a great choice also. I wanted to stay around the $200 price range so this deal was hard to beat. The packaging was well done and the build is sturdy and professional looking. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you get this Monitor.

This monitor is the clearest monitor I've ever seen for such a good price. The color is so prominent and the smoothness of the NVIDIA G-Sync makes everything so clear and speedy. When I saw the screen and the price, I knew it was a steal.

This new monitor I got is very nice! I am a gamer and one day a streamer.. I have tried many monitors and the quality is nicer than what I originally started with of course. Screen is nice and speed as well! I look forward to using this monitor for quite awhile.

I’ve been using this monitor for a few weeks, and I’m very impressed with the quality. The display is crisp, colors are vibrant, and the refresh rate makes everything feel smooth. Setup was quick, and the build quality feels solid and premium. It’s perfect for both productivity and streaming. Definitely a great value for the price!

I added this to my Apple mini and it works perfectly. Crisp and clear. Love it. The colors are vibrant and sharp. I plan to purchase this same monitor for my second screen next week . I can adjust it tall or short and I can also tilt it up when I am standing up, which is create because my desk is a riser.

Exactly what I was looking for in a display, and everything works out of the box. It’s affordable, gives you the fluid QHD display, and an easy set up process to go with. I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made.
Ideal for gaming! Great with the colors and graphi

Chose the monitor in store and it was what we were searching for. It is a big screen. This monitor is specifically for gaming and does not disappoint. It also has the aim assist options.
