Customers consistently note the excellent picture quality and high refresh rate as major strengths of the 27” Odyssey Gaming CRG5 Series monitor, making it ideal for gaming. Many appreciate the screen's curvature and find the monitor to be a good value for its price.

    I Have had this monitor for 2 years now and no problems. I personally like curved monitors more but I would still recommend this to others. It has a display like no other monitor I have seen. It was definitely worth the price. The colors are great as well as the frame rate. It is a very good monitor for gaming. The purchase was very easy as well, and arrived with no damages. Go buy yourself one and don't for get that 4 Year warranty if they still offer it!!!!

    I love this monitor! I use it for Adobe Apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm a graphic design student and I have no complaints about the resolution of this. It is honestly really nice, and works great for gaming too!

    Been using it heavily for two years, hands down best curved monitor I’ve bought. Use it for work, gaming, movies, etc. The size of the monitor makes dividing the screen and reading documents so much more user friendly without overwhelming my desk area. The picture is so clear and the colors pop while I’m gaming. If you’ve been thinking about it, just get it. I got one and hooked it up to my laptop, now I’m getting another gaming cpu and another one of these bad boys!

    Was a little concerned when I first used it because I could see the lights shining up and down the display from the top and bottom creating the "Batman" effect, but came to realize Samsung tends to ship their monitors on an entirely too bright setting. Once I used the color calibration app in windows it fixed everything! So when you unbox it and first flip it on there's no need to be concerned about the bright lights. While running a game or anything app related the picture is fantastic. My computer doesn't run things consistently at 240 fps so I don't get full advantage of the 240hz, but when it runs on ultra HD mode at 144hz the picture is vibrant and silky smooth. Would recommend!

    doesnt matter if its the main monitor or the second, it does the job and does it great. I personally use it as a second monitor for all my side tasks and there couldn't be a better one out there. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a nice curved screen or for anyone looking for a easy gift for those gamers. They will love it for sure.

    I originally bought this monitor to hook up as a secondary to go along with my Asus. What really attracted me to it was the rapid curve screen, 240hz capability, the sale price that I got it at and the fact that I've never had an issue with Samsung in the past. It doesn't have all of the specs of my Asus, but it also has some that the Asus doesn't have. I love the nice rich colors, and the multi angle view of the screen. Cons- The screen is stiff and difficult to tilt without putting some weight on the monitor stand to keep it from tipping, and doesn't raise or lower to adjust the height. I had to buy a monitor riser for my desk to make the height equal with my other monitor. The monitor controls are not very extensive/in great depth. There is only one "button/knob" to control all of the settings, and is located centrally under the screen. Which for me personally is not ideal. The input select function seems to have a mind of its own sometimes and will set itself to HDMI when I have the Display Port hooked up, and visa versa. Until I fiddled with all of the settings that is. It's a great monitor as an extended secondary for me. That being said, I recommend you take your time and do some research before considering this one. Unlike myself. Not the worst I've ever owned by any means. It allows me to do everything I need it to do, and then some. It's just not the best choice either.

    Smooth game play, very clear just no speaker or sound so you would have to buy a sound bar or a speaker to connect it to the monitor but other then that it’s great, it has adjustable brightness n fps control as well as eye sight

    Let me start by saying, the monitor was alot larger than i expected, the curve really gives you a sense of being submerged into your game. The G-Sync is a nice feature, sets it itself up. The picture quality is the best ive seen.

    Brilliant monitor, two downsides, worth it to most

    I bought this for the 240hz, and it delivers. I haven't seen any ghosting, and as long as your computer and cable support the output, it works perfectly. Here's two of the most important things I think you should know: 1. This is VA panel, not an IPS panel. IPS has good viewing angles, and better color (and accuracy). IPS panels aren't really common or possible (yet) above 144hz, and they're more expensive. Because this is a VA panel, if you're viewing from an angle, the colors will appears very subtly washed-out (hardly a problem most of the time). VA panels also have a more noticeable pixel grid. It's not super apparent, but if you look closely at a big block of color, you might notice it faintly. Don't worry, your monitor isn't broken, that's just the cost of 240hz in 2021. You'll get used to it in no time. 2. The monitor does not support 100 x 100 VESA mount brackets. Most brackets also support the required 75 x 75, however that won't work. Your bracket has to ONLY support 75 x 75, and NOT 100 x 100, because then the bracket will be too big and not fit underneath the back arch. If you have a 100 x 100 that also has 75 x 75, HERE'S THE SOLTUION: Bring a current VESA mount screw to the hardware store. Find M4 x 10mm Stainless Steel screws that are anywhere from 1 CM longer, to double the length. Find lock bolts (or spacers, or regular bolts 2x per screw), one per screw. Put the screws on the bracket with the lock bolts on the other side and twist them all the way in until it's flat against the bracket but the screw can still spin. This will provide enough spacing for your bracket to still work. Now alternate between each screw, and screw them into your monitor little at a time until the bracket is touching or nearly touching the arch. You only need .5 to 1 cm clearance for the larger brackets to fit, depending on the bracket. Good luck. Overall I'm happy with the monitor, in spite of the cons over pros.

    I got this on sale for $299 and I am more than satisfied. It matches my 8 series curved TVs as well. The 240 refresh rate is amazing! S Ruth img about this monitor is great! I originally purchased the 24 inch monitor and still have it (I’m going to return it) but the difference was immediately obvious and most definitely worth the extra money especially with the sale!

    Great size and a pretty display! This is my first time buying and using a curved monitor, and so far I really love it. I've only tried a few games on it so far, but everything is looking and working great.

    This is a great monitor for gaming and the stand is strong. I’ve played on it for more than a year and if you’re starting out I recommend it. You can change the light to how you need to as well as save your eyes when you play late at night. FPS games are honestly nice with this one as well as how much view you have.

    Easy to set up right out of the box with no instruction. Immersion is amazing, can't believe I hadnt invested in a curved monitor sooner. Quality is amazing will be testing it out with games soon and update.

    These monitors are awesome!! I got 2! Great picture!! Good with movies, games and regular daily use. These replaced 2 24" BenQ gaming monitors. I mounted them to the wall to free up desk space and sit higher for a better sight line. It was totally worth it!!!

    Really nice monitor. Set up was very easy, though I did face some problems. Keep note that with G-Sync "Compatible" monitors, the G-Sync function does not work with 10XX series nvidia cards and below. Other than that however, the transition from 144hz to 240hz is eye opening, and the actual monitor itself is amazing. So far, i have had no problems with ghosting, and have noticed little to no screen tearing at all. If you can utilize G-Sync, it is a very nice feature, and a great monitor for the price.
