I love this monitor, I have bought monitors in the past that I absolutely hated, motion blur, low quality screen, etc. This monitor is gorgeous, I love the picture, QHD is perfect for a gamer that likes performance but doesn’t want to shovel out 800-1500+ to have 4k at high FPS. 180FPS is perfect and the screen quality will not disappoint! I love the adjustable height and the fact I can flip the monitor vertical if I ever needed to. Overall very smooth FPS good screen quality I would buy another one if I needed it!

Great monitor with a few (minor) problems

Well I gave this beautiful monitor only a good . Picture is great! I have a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti VISION in my tower and again picture is great.
So why only a 4 rating? Well my first gripe is the power on or Standby LED does not work, but I do not find this enough (so far) to drag it back to Best Buy for an exchange.
The other problem is a general lack of information on setup. My other monitor's in the past I could put in standby and when the I started the computer they would start up even if it had been days.
This Monitor is a little tricky as I have to set the hours I want it in standby. This made it slightly more complicated because again the on/standby LED doesn't work.
Otherwise besides their is a general lack of 3rd party info out there due to the fact it was just released in April of 2024.
All that said I love the picture on this monitor no matter if gaming, surfing the net or viewing my wife's hi-def photography. I still recommend it!

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.

Pretty easy to set up to a monitor stand. Display looks nice and runs smooth and the response time is fast. I've had no issues with this product. The settings can be adjusted through the buttons at the bottom of the monitor which kind of threw me off because most of the monitors I've used had the setting buttons on the sides or back.

This monitor is amazing! So far it has 100% lived up to the expectations! The 180hz and 1440p give such a crisp look while playing the featured games that I play. The color contrast when watching videos are 5 stars. So far, so good! rate this monitor a 5 out of 5

IT works as advertised. when I set it up I was curious if the HDMI would be able to drive 1440p at 180 fps it did not. But the Display port does that all as intended. If you only have HDMI take note of the frame rate you can expect.

Don’t buy from Best Buy

The monitor is great the employees that worked there are TERRIBLE! I had to figure out which one I wanted because they are the laziest people in the work force. I stood there asking for help for 30 minutes and employees walked by me doing nothing, but said “ I don’t work in that department!” What should have taken me 5 minutes took 45 minutes because their employees are lazy! Then you complain to the managers and they look at you like you are doing something wrong by criticizing their employees and making them work! I think they are managers just because they outlasted the other slugs and are still with the company. Now I understand why they are closing so many stores, I will NEVER buy from them again! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

The first one I got came with a dead pixel, so I returned it and got another, and it works perfectly. Good color and refresh rate, with little ghosting. Monitor can be angled in almost any direction.

A Great Display if You Have Time for Some Tweaking

Recently upgraded from a 75hz 1080p display and the difference has been wild. Some reviews state the contrast is poor on the display but i would say its quite good (obviously not OLED levels but for an IPS still good) and the vibrancy of colors are great as well. I really only had two gripes about the display, one out of the box the colors are very very very blue and took some time to neutralize them (when adjusted with the settings both on the display and windows along with an ICC profile it looks great but colors should be accurate from the jump) and the second is that there is some, though very minor, ghosting -- its not the worst and is mostly noticeable in high contrast scenarios (white text scrolling through a black background) but in common use cases its very subtle; if your sensitive to that I'd maybe look into other monitors with higher response times. All in all it is a very good monitor with good viewing angles, a bit better than average glow when displaying all black, and punchy colors.

In my opinion it’s the best 1440p monitor on the market. Its refresh rate is fate and the color is amazing. I play a lot of fps and I don’t have any screen tearing or anything and the hdr is amazing

Great Performance and Features—Especially at a Sal

This monitor delivers excellent performance for both PC and console gaming. If you find it at a good price during the holidays, you won’t regret picking it up. The build quality is impressive—you can easily raise or lower the screen, tilt it side to side, and even rotate it vertically. The settings are simple to customize, and cable management is a breeze thanks to the included strap.
The base is also great if you use magnetic accessories; your device will securely attach if you need to set your phone down. For connectivity, you get one DisplayPort, one HDMI port, and a headphone jack for convenience. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase, especially since I snagged it at a great sale price.

Like always samsung has top of the line product. The image is great, no speaker, great for gaming and the only issue I have is the brightness. If you have a bright room I would reconsidered. If your room stays in the dark side then it would be perfect.
