It’s a good monitor, but I wished it had auto input switching and speakers

So, let’s start this review by saying to you (the reader) that this monitor looks fantastic both aesthetically and visually. Upon opening the box everything is packaged very neatly, and it is easy to find all the components. The first thing I noticed when I put my hands on the monitor was how light it was. I have smaller monitors that are much heavier. I quickly mounted the monitor via the VESA mount on the rear and off I went to testing. The monitor has a small joystick on the bottom center on the panel. This joystick is used to quickly adjust settings such as: • Quick Volume Settings • Quick Picture Settings • Main Settings Menu Pretty easy to use once you get used to it like anything else. Okay so onto the panel. I noticed when I first hooked this up to my PC that the refresh rate was set to 60hz by default. So, you will have to use that joystick mentioned above to go into the main menu and change the refresh rate to your preferred system setting on your PC. I set mine to 180hz, as this is what I normally run my monitors at. Once this was set and a few tweaks to the brightness, all was good. The monitor has good clarity and definition. All colors look amazing to be honest. The panel is a VA panel, with a matte finish which is good for cutting down on reflections and providing true color saturation in its representation. I always prefer a matte screen especially when gaming. So, let’s talk about the gaming performance which is what this is all about. I’ve tested this with a few titles from COD to GOW. I will say that my overall impression is this monitor looks amazing. The fluidness of the motion, especially when panning or turning in a shooter game, is very good. There was no glitching or stuttering and everything was just smooth. I appreciate this as this can really make or break the experience of high-end gaming. The colors, refresh rate and response time just make this a great monitor. You really can’t get better at the price. One thing I want to highlight is the 32” size of this monitor. It might be a little too big for some people depending on the games you play and how far you are sitting from it. This is an important point I really wanted to highlight. Sometimes less is more. Samsung does make this monitor in the 27” size so if you feel the size is too big, or you are experiencing eye strain or fatigue, you can pick up the smaller version. Overall, I am giving this monitor 5 stars because let’s face it, it’s a monitor. It does everything it’s supposed to do and it does it well.

The Samsung 32" Odyssey G51F QHD 180Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor with HDR10 is an amazing monitor for its price point. The package and setup of the monitor was fairly easy to do. One thing that I really love about it is it’s base. I personally love how the legs are spread out as I can move the monitor closer to me when I play a racing game. The picture quality is amazing!. It has very minimal glare and there is little to no noticeable ghosting during fast movements. The high refresh rate makes the overall experience very smooth and the response rate is insane for the price. The colors are amazing and vibrant, and the blacks are very good too. I was able to use the extreme refresh rate and time using DisplayPort. One thing is that the HDR is somewhat lacking though as the colors aren’t the best. Another thing that I like about this monitor is the GUI and thumbstick. It's super easy to access and use the GUI as the thumbstick is right in the middle at the bottom. The GUI is very simple to use and has helpful descriptions when hovering over an option. There are no speakers built in to this monitor but then again it is a gaming monitor. The 32” display is amazing and I like the eye saver settings which comes in handy during long use. I really wish that there was better cable management as the only one is a rubber tie. Overall this is an amazing monitor and I would highly recommend it if you are in the market for a new gaming monitor.

My son loves this monitor for gaming. The only downside is that it would be nice to have speakers built in.

Samsung has been a fairly dominant force in the gaming monitor space for quite a few years now, so it should come as a surprise to no one that the Odyssey G51F shows that there's still plenty of life in LCDs even if OLEDs are stealing the spotlight. It delivers an excellent, highly responsive gaming experience as well as ample screen space for every day computing. The design language of the Odyssey hasn't changed much over the years, nor has it needed to. The stand is sleek and stable without taking up an excess of desk space, the complex curves of the rear casing are pleasing to the eye (assuming you ever see them,) and the frame lacks any obtrusive clutter that might distract from the 32" panel. Ports are arranged at the bottom and with the use of the built in cable management it's not hard to route everything so that it's mostly out of the way, if not completely invisible. So, overall, it should be a good aesthetic fit for most desk setups. As far as the panel itself goes, it strikes an excellent balance between image quality and performance. 32" is right about at the point where you start being able to tell the difference between QHD and UHD resolutions, so I imagine some might question the decision to opt for the lower pixel count, but given the difficulty of driving UHD panels at high refresh rates I think they made the right call here. The image is still plenty sharp unless you plan to regularly lean in to inspect things more closely, and everything feels fantastically twitchy running at 144+Hz. Colors are also very good. It's not going to be able to give you the same vivid colors that you can get with a really good OLED, but provided you turn on HDR it can still deliver some very respectable black levels while producing some dazzling colors. And with FreeSync you don't really need to worry about tearing either - which is definitely important if like me you have it plugged into a laptop whose GPU can't quite drive the QHD panel at full speed without the occasional hiccup. Usually I would finish a review by listing some of the downsides I encountered while trying the product out. In this case, though, I don't have any. Yes, there are better gaming monitors available on the market. There are even a few better LCD gaming monitors on the market. But you aren't going to find many of them at this price point. That makes this a very easy recommendation for anyone looking for a big, fast panel for their gaming rig that won't cost more than your tower.

Indeed, this beautiful 32” monitor is the one I needed for games. It fits perfectly on my desk in my game room. Setup was intuitive to assemble the stand and make the hook-ups. This stand has excellent physical characteristics in terms of its ability to be adjusted up/down and tilt back/forward. It is engineered so that it requires minimal effort to adjust my viewing angle yet it holds firmly wherever you set it. A tip of the cap to the Samsung engineers for making this a very simple and effective physical adjustment that is better than any other I have seen on many monitors. I did connect via HDMI although this monitor also has a Display Port. I ran a couple different color generators, and the colors were spectacular. I viewed hundreds of colors of various shades and brightness and everything was superb. When playing XBOX games this color excellence was observed both in terms of the vivid colors as wells as no bleed-over from one color to another – no matter how fast the action was. I noticed a ‘depth of the display’ in many game scenes which also reflected the powerful design specs of this device. These super-color qualities reflected the QHD resolution as well as the FreeSync properties of this monitor. There is even a ‘Black Equalizer’ parameter that did help lighten dark spots in some games which can reveal things you might miss. The large 32” screen is awesome and did improve my game experience. In addition, the extra ‘real estate’ was very helpful with creation and reading of spreadsheets and presentations. I love this monitor, it seems the perfect size; not too big nor too small for my situation. I highly recommend this unit.
