Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since getting this monitor it is treated me very well however the colors out of the box are too vibrant soap setting the display to cinema mode tends to fix most of the issues that I've had with it and even though the saturation is still quite extreme for my taste turning down brightness for some reason affects the saturation which I did do to turn it down just slightly at 180 HZ the motion is smooth responsive and fast with minimal trailing which is typical for a vertical alignment but better than average as well at the same time this monitor is very responsive and though I have not used the speakers on it I will say from what I heard in the display in store it was okay at best. Generally though for gaming this monitor is excellent and even for Content consumption I would say it is very good I've watched a few movies with it so far and believe it to be quite color accurate and Cinema mode and loved the experience so far for being a 32-in monitor it is also very lightweight and easy to move as is.c the monitor stand tilt swivel and height functions are all very easy to use and have allowed me to find the perfect positioning on my desk. And finally I do believe that this monitor is worth the value that I paid for.

Excellent product, perfect for streaming on all platforms. 100% recommended, and it's from a top brand like Samsung. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely phenomenal monitor!! I do video editing and the HDR was a must have feature for me. Aesthetically the monitor itself is gorgeous but it outperforms my Dell QHD monitor by a lot! Couldn’t be happier! Pic on the left is the SAMSUNG, the right is my DELL; the dynamic range is very apparent.

I just upgraded to this Samsung 32” Odyssey G5 from Best Buy, and wow – it’s absolutely stunning! The 4K resolution is crystal clear, the colors pop with insane vibrancy, and those deep inky blacks make everything from games to movies look incredibly immersive.

I bought this on an amazing sell. It has been a fantastic monitor. My amd pc holds the frame rate on almost every game on high settings. The photo is a 27” hp omen compared to the 32” samsung odyssey on the right.

The Odyssey G5 32″ offers sharp QHD clarity and plenty of screen space, making multitasking smooth and efficient. Text looks crisp, colors are vibrant, and the 165Hz panel keeps everything feeling responsive. Its clean design and slim bezels create a comfortable, modern workspace perfect for productivity, browsing, and daily tasks.

At first I thought I had purchased two monitors that were slightly too big to be on my desk at work, but once I started using them, I wish I would have bought them a long time ago! Excellent!

Great quality good expertise and advice also with a great deal

Wonderful value and quality - makes for an excellent gift for any gamer in your life! Already has been used a lot with many hours and late nights of gaming!

Best monitor for your money in my opinion, looks great, affordable. Thanks to Best Buy for having regular sales and all the help

Excellent monitor for a very good price. If you’re looking to buy a monitor after playing on a TV like I did, this is a very good upgrade.

Great screen. Upgrading from a 24in fhd and highly recommend the change. Games look fantastic at qhd. Especially like the eye saver features

Great monitor for the price!!! Very clean and sleek profile, especially if you’re building a dual monitor set up!!!

Performs as expected, but be aware it’s a multi-country “Best Buy” version, which may differ slightly from standard models. Registering the LS32FG51DENXZA model which Samsung requires adding a “K” to the serial number for registration. Warranty info won't display due to regional limitations. Resolving this involves navigating frustrating customer service, often dealing with unhelpful bots and outsourced support. Be persistent and provide a receipt (without PII), they can manually fix the warranty. Overall, the display is solid. Ensure your graphics card supports 180Hz for optimal performance. Time will tell how if it holds up.

This is a well-built and well-performing monitor, but it does have some curious design choices. First, as a gaming monitor, it does have a subtle gaming look, without being ugly or having useless RGB everywhere. So it still has a “gamer” look without being tacky. The display itself is a flat (not curved) 32” running 2560 x 1440, which is great for people who are running top-notch graphics cards. The stand is certainly solid enough, and gives a full range of height and tilt adjustment, as well as allowing the display to be put into a portrait mode, which is useful for some people. But you can tell that this monitor was built down to a price point, as we will see. The first thing to note is that this monitor uses a separate power supply brick, instead of having an IEC power jack (for a 120V cable) in the back. This can increase cable clutter, so might be a deal-breaker for some, but no big deal for others. The power brick is not that big, but you will have to find a place to stick it. Also, the bottom bezel looks like it has a place for a couple for speakers, but none are installed. The monitor does have an audio jack for adding your own speakers, but only one jack. You can plug in headphones or speakers, but not both. Since the audio jack is on the bottom next to the power and video input connectors, getting to it to change audio devices is not exactly convenient. Speaking of jacks, the input consists of two HDMI, and one DisplayPort. There is NO option for USB-C input, and no built-in USB hub at all, so this might not be the best choice for docking a laptop. All controls are via a small joystick on the bottom of the display. The controls were easy enough to use, as was the menu system. The first thing that I tried to do was to get the high refresh rate working. Simply stated, Windows would not allow me to increase the refresh rate and still maintain the 2560 x 1440 resolution, which I thought was curious. As it turns out, you need to go into the menu setting and ENABLE the higher refresh rates (or enable AMD Free-Sync), in order to get it to work. I have no idea why enabling a higher refresh rate is not the default, but it is easy to fix once you know about it. Using HDMI, I was able to get Windows 11 to output at 144 Hz. I could not get 165 Hz, but that might require using DisplayPort, which my laptop doesn’t support. But the 144 Hz mode does look good, and the panel is certainly fast enough. The next feature is HDR. This monitor claims “HDR10” which is not that meaningful of a standard to support. According to the manufacturer, this monitor only provides a brightness of 300 nits, which is not enough to fully support a real HDR image. Still, when viewing HDR content, it did look good, just not eye-poppingly bright. I could also see no signs of local dimming, but that is not expected in this price range. So, does it really support HDR? The answer is “sort of.” If you really want HDR, then look for something with “DisplayHDR400” certification, but that will most likely cost more. The final feature is the “virtual aim point” which will put a crosshair on the display. There are several styles and colors to choose from. Since I am more of an RPG player, this is not useful to me, but this will be useful for people who play FPS titles that don’t have aiming built it. So, there are a couple of drawbacks. Does that make this a bad monitor? Not at all! This is a GREAT monitor that I would happily use. A couple of corners have been cut as far as features, but the features that is does have are implemented well. It all comes down to price. This is a flat, 2560 x 1440, 300 nit monitor without a USB hub or built-in speakers. If this meets your needs and the price is good, then this would be a fantastic choice. The only reason not to buy this monitor is if you need a feature that is not offered here, or you find something comparable for a far cheaper price. Samsung does make great quality products, and this is no exception, but they did have to drop some specs to hit the price.

Perfect all around great screen quality and i love the stands ease of placements

I did not know I needed a 32 inch until I used this Samsung Odyssey monitor. I’ve been playing at 27inch 4K screens, mostly at only 1080P because some games like Far Cry 6 strangles my gameplay everytime when 8 goons corner me in a room with their high powered guns. This 32-incher makes so much difference in size and the ability to play at QHD effectively with my 4 series RTX card without seeing much of a detail drop from 4K. First, overall size is huge. The bezels are thick at the bottom that gives it some bulky look but is not heavy at all. I was surprised when I lifted the screen to install the stand—I thought my new workout was working; this screen just happened to be much lighter than I expected. Set up was easy: components were made of light plastic but they are sturdy. This gave me the initial impression that it was sub-standard, but that is not the case until I started playing. Each part easily snaps in, though the monitor legs are a little too long towards the front for my taste; I had to rearrange some items that sit by the monitor. It comes with a power brick and two cables—a high quality HDMI 2.0, and a Display port cable. Behind the screen the 2 HDMI ports, a Display port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB A (unfortunately only for service) and the power port, all of which are spaced enough for easy plugging of wires. This device does not have much wire management, with only a rubber loop by the stand that I can insert the wires in. Since I plug in directly from my machine, I use HDMI which was easily recognized by the monitor’s inputs. At first pop, the monitor output looked soft—in everything. Colors looked dull, blacks seemed grayish, the details were not crisp and my refresh rate was defaulted to 60hz. I thought to myself—wait, a gaming monitor cannot be 60hz. So I tinkered more. Luckily, it was not difficult to figure it out. This monitor has its settings navigational button at the bottom center, and this was the key to unleashing the power. The menu is easy to understand. So I simply enabled the AMD freesync and adjusted the display resolution. Soonafter, fonts and icons are crisp, the color is a much better. I also adjusted the blacks, to mimic my laptop oled, because the black settings really do isolate the blacks for settings. Though this Samsung device black is not pitch dark, it had a decent range to pop colors while having decent black levels. Overall performance is good. It is mighty bright for a dark room, but also very visible by a bright window at daytime, without any glare! I only was able to top the 180hz out at 144hz but it was good enough to run my games at QHD. Again, as I mentioned earlier, I was pleased with QHD because it was the best compromise for playing 4K but still having that detail. The details are popping and I can play Forza and NFS at high speeds, strafe and spin at a busy courtyard in GTA and Far Cry while still seeing detail without tears or delays. The refresh rate speed limits motion blur, so the game looks slower, which helps me out win races. I did not see any ghosting at all, as I was very vigilant on that as I needed to compare it with motion blur, or extraneous artifacts from effects. And with the 32 inch screen, I can see far out what’s coming and I can respond well because I can see, and there is no input lag at all. I am happy with this monitor’s performance. The price is perfect for its size and quality. It is fast, bright and crisp. I do not see me spending more on other screens because I can get all that I need at this price. I definitely recommend this for PC gaming.

Excellent monitor. Actually went out and bought a second one. Great size and great for gaming.

Nice monitor overall. Graphics are mostly good but the black levels seem distorted when gaming. Only other downside is that there aren’t any built in speakers, nor does it come with an audio cable so be ready to buy those as well.

Bigger than I expected but I still love it. the HZ is limited to 144 unlike what the box is listed as. It could be a separate setting but still good nonetheless.
