I just got the Samsung Odyssey G50D 27-inch gaming monitor, and overall I’m really happy with it. The QHD IPS panel delivers sharp visuals, and the 180Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time makes a huge difference in fast-paced games—motion looks smooth and input lag is almost nonexistent. HDR400 support provides good brightness for highlights, though it’s not true HDR and blacks can look a bit lighter in dark rooms. The ergonomic stand is great, with tilt, height, pivot, and swivel adjustments. For the price, this monitor is an excellent value if you want smooth gaming and vibrant color.

Worth The Price

I upgraded from a 6-year-old ASUS MG248, and the difference is night and day.
This was my first upgrade from a 24-inch panel, and it has every feature my old monitor was missing: a larger screen size, G-Sync compatibility, a higher refresh rate, an IPS panel, HDR support, and a more professional-looking design.
HDR mode makes the screen much brighter. The larger panel makes everything nice and sharp, making 1080p monitors look blurry in comparison. It's an excellent choice for gaming and for working on color-specific tasks.
Can't recommend this monitor enough. Absolutely worth it for those looking to upgrade!

An amazing monitor for an even better price! The 180gz refresh rate makes games feel buttery smooth, whether you’re playing a FPS, RPG, MMO, or any other genre of game, this monitor is sure to impress! The resolution, while not 4k, is mesmerizing at the price point! Perfect for any gamer!

I was looking for a monitor with a high refresh rate but that wouldn’t sacrifice on the colors. This monitor looks amazing especially when tweaking the color features. The built in controls being at the bottom is also something I really like about it as it is much easier to navigate all the controls and adjust brightness, display settings, volume for headphones, etc.

I mainly use this with my ps5. The picture quality is great. Im using it at 120hz and running my PS5 at 120fps. On games that support it, it runs smooth. Colors are very decent, but not the most accurate. Doesnt bother me for games, but when I tried to use it with my macbook for design work it just falls a little short. Ergonomics are amazing. The stabd is sturdy and gives a range of height options.

Great monitor for the price (i got it around 224 w/ tax). Great color and brightness. Just remember to buy a displayport cable because it doesn’t ship with one and you cant get 180 Hz without it.

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.

My new Samsong Odyssey 27" G5 is the best Monitor Iv ever had, it also has somewhat of a spring-mount that lowers down to 163/4" to clear the lip of the shelf of oak desk. the graphics are very nice im glad I got it instead of a curved sreens that were all too tall. I dont feel that Im missing anything tha they had because its 27' and flat.

I have this monitor connected via DisplayPort to get the highest refresh rate. The picture is bright and sharp with no flicker.
It took some work to prevent the monitor from going into a state that required the power button to bring the monitor back to life after the computer went to sleep. The control buttons are more difficult to operate than older Samsung monitors.

Solid Gaming Monitor to start off! Playing at 1440p is a nice step up in gaming along with the 180hz refresh rate for games that need it like FPS games. The screen size is nice and the settings are pretty straight forward to use in one single button.

Got this monitor during the Black Friday in July event. Excellent display, easy to set up, and a great price for its quality even when not on sale.
