Customer Ratings & Reviews

Without a proper monitor, a computer cannot shine. I enjoyed this monitor so much, I immediately purchased a second monitor to complete a duel screen set-up. Very pleased with my purchase.

Sharp and perfect for my son’s gaming. We bought 2 and going to purchase a 3rd when it goes back on sale.

Great display for gaming, so bright that it lights up the whole room. Thankfully it has an “eye saver” feature to minimize strain.

I’ve had it for a little over a year and the screen has the horizontal lines issue. Idk why it happened so fast such a bummer. The screen looks bad now :(

I bought this September 2024. It was working great all this time, and about a week ago, horizontal scan lines began appearing on the display. More than half of the monitor is covered with lines. The issue appears permanent. A $350 monitor should not be having such severe issues at less than two years old, and it pains me that this item is out of warranty for me.

Disappointed that the monitor is advertised as 180Hz (three different locations in the BB ad), but the box from Samsung clearly states 165Hz. I wonder what else they lied about in their advertisement of this monitor?

I picked this up yesterday and had a full night of gaming on it. I mostly play Apex Legends and I play on Xbox series S but also some Nintendo Switch games (Zelda, Mario, etc. etc.) I had been playing a on 32 inch Samsung TV that I got back in 2016 or 2017 and the difference is night and day. The refresh rate and resolution are amazing. I've been playing Apex for a few years now but getting this monitor makes me feel like I'm playing a brand new game. No joke I feel like I'm playing better on this monitor. Price is a bit high considering there are probably similar options that cost less but I have been using Samsung for decades and the quality is always high and they last forever. Treat yourself! Console players: Remember to set your console resolution to 1440 and your refresh rate to 120 hz 1080p on 32 inch :/ 1440 on 27 inch :D Comparison image has the Odyssey G5OD display on the left and the old Samsung TV on the right. I hadn't even dialed in the color, brightness, contrast or set the console res to 1440 on the new one yet and there is a NOTICEABLE difference.

I’ve been using the Samsung Odyssey G5 for a while now, and overall it’s a solid gaming monitor for the price. The 27-inch flat screen looks super clean, and the 1440p resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate makes games look really sharp and smooth. The colors are decent, and the contrast is nice thanks to the VA panel, so darker scenes look pretty good. It handles most games really well, though there can be a bit of motion blur in really fast games. The stand is basic — it only tilts and doesn’t move up or down — and the build quality feels a bit light, but it’s fine once it’s on your desk. The HDR isn’t anything crazy since it doesn’t get that bright, but it still adds a little more life to the picture. Overall, the G5 is a great pick if you want a flat 1440p monitor with high refresh rates without spending a lot. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely worth it for the price.

I am really liking this monitor. The Odessey G50D 27". Purchased this as my first gaming monitor to mate with a new AMD PC with HDR and FreeSync capabilities. Assembly was pretty easy using the instructions. The stand is really substantial and has plenty of heft to keep it where I want it. The range of adjustment is impressive and easy to do. The flat base, while a bit large, makes it easy to put things under the monitor. I do like that the back of the monitor is just black and not flashy or too ornate, as many gaming monitors are. I thought the power/stand-by LED was not working. Looking really close I see it does work, it is just really small and dim. The monitor buttons to navigate the menu are pretty simple to use after a bit of practice. Hooked up the included DP cable. I set the monitor FreeSync on and my Win11 PC AMD software acknowledged, showed all of the possible refresh rates available. Started an older game that ran steady at 180 fps to great result. HDR stuff looks OK, especially after using the Windows HDR Calibration tool. As I don't game as much as I just use the PC I am pleased with this display for browsing. Text is crisp, colors look great. I'm still trying things out but I haven't run into any issues. This is a keeper.

Got this on sale and its great! 180hz refresh rate is more than enough for what i need and resolution is in 2k which looks more than good for this size screen. Colors pop and blacks are deep black. This also has a special feature where it works with NVIDIA or AMD to sync to ensure smooth gameplay. Overall a great monitor whether on sale or not.

This monitor has been a fantastic addition to my setup. The picture quality is crisp and vibrant, with colors that really pop and great contrast. Whether I’m gaming, watching videos, or working, everything looks sharp and clear. The refresh rate is smooth, and I haven’t noticed any ghosting or blur during fast‑paced gameplay — which makes a big difference in competitive games. The build and stand feel solid, and adjusting the tilt/height is easy so I can get the perfect viewing angle. Setup was quick and simple, and it works seamlessly with both PC and console. Overall, this monitor gives excellent performance for the price and has definitely improved my experience compared to my old screen.

I needed a new monitor in a pinch, and Best Buy came through! The Samsung Odyssey G50D was a perfect upgrade from my broken DELL monitor, and with better colors and 25Hz extra in the refresh rate. Right out of the box, this was easy to calibrate and I do enjoy how the bezel matches my LG 4K Monitor. The base for this is a bit hefty, but since I primarily use monitor arms, I safely stored the monitor stand in the original packaging.

This is a great gaming monitor. Be sure to use a displayport cable if you want the full speed refresh rate. It takes a little bit of tweaking for HDR gaming, and once set, it looks great. It's awesome for first person shooters because of the fast motion, hardly any motion blur. But for slower moving games, you can definitely see the aliasing on the edges because of the 1440p resolution. The resolution is really not a problem for such a small screen, but I also have a 4K monitor and it is much crisper. Overall I'm very happy with this monitor, I also got one for my kid running an RTX 3000 series video card. He's pretty happy.

Good monitor for gaming, good quality, good size, good resolution everything is good with this monitor 10/10

The Samsung Odyssey G5 delivers a smooth and immersive gaming experience with its crisp QHD resolution and fast refresh rate. The curved display adds to the immersion, and performance feels responsive with minimal motion blur. Solid build quality and great value make it an excellent choice for both gaming and everyday use.

Amazing size, any movie, show, or game looks truly amazing on it, it runs great, and very easy to use menu truly is great! One heads up on it that I didn’t know which truly is my fault entirely for not being sure, but it does not have any speakers! So please buy some speakers with it or get some head phones

The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a great choice for gamers and professionals who want a curved monitor with solid performance.

Color accuracy and contrast are good for the price, making it suitable for both gaming and content creation. Plus, its sleek design fits well on any desk setup. Overall, the Odyssey G5 offers excellent value for those looking for a high-refresh, curved monitor without breaking the bank.

The picture quality is fantastic! The perfect size for a medium monitor that fits in my desk. I was debating a cheaper one but decided to stick to this one due to the specs of the monitor and I’m so glad I did. I will be recommending this to my friends that are starting to game!

The Samsung G5 is a great entry way into 1440p gaming! The 1440p looks great if you want that added sharpness (especially if you sit very close) and thats the main reason why i got this. As for the unboxing experience everything was really simple and easy to set up. I was surprised that out the box i only had to tweak the colors only ever so slightly. I have no defects or any quality issues with this monitor! At 180hz its also plenty smooth though response times are not the greatest. All in all im super happy with it and hoping it lasts me many years! My brother has a G4 which has worked without any problems, so it made me confident going with Samsung.

I upgraded to the Samsung Odyssey G50D and honestly it’s exceeded my expectations for the price. Whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or doing everyday computer work, this monitor delivers a crisp picture with fluid gameplay that feels like a step up from most basic displays. If you want a solid mid-range gaming monitor that looks great and feels fast, the Odyssey G50D is a fantastic choice — especially if you snag it on sale. It’s a big step up from basic 60 Hz displays and gives you smooth, sharp visuals for shooters, RPGs, and everyday use alike.
