Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Samsung 32" Odyssey G51F QHD is a great monitor for gaming as well as other computer needs. It comes with a 180Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync HDR10 display. The monitor comes equipped with a DisplayPort and HDMI input. It also comes with a headphone out jack that you can connect to your computer speakers or headphones. The monitor comes shipped in a well packaged box. It comes with an included HDMI cable as well as a DisplayPort cable. It comes with a QuickStart guide and instructions. However, the monitor is very easy to assemble. I connected the monitor out to my headphones and was able to control the volume from my headphones using the built in line adapter on my headphones. The volume wasn’t as loud as I like for it to be, but it’s doable. The picture quality and response time is excellent. The 32” screen is a great size while using it for gaming, browsing the web, and doing other computer related tasks. Overall, this is a very good monitor and I’m definitely enjoying using it. I hope to get years of great use from it.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 32" gaming monitor is a good value for those gamers on a tighter budget looking for a larger monitor while not sacrificing refresh rate (144Hz or 180Hz) and response times and also maintaining a 2560x1440 resolution. To start things off I'll go over the size and resolution. In my opinion 1440p is the minimum for a monitor of this size when it comes to a desktop environment. I generally believe that pixelation becomes an issue on text and application interfaces if you go any lower on the resolution for a monitor this big. For gaming, 32 inches and 1440p is a good spot to be, especially with mid-tier GPU options. I have no complaints about screen door effect while gaming from a comfortable seating position with this monitor. As for the refresh rates of this monitor, you'll need to be sure to use Displayport if you are looking to get the full 180Hz this panel offers. If you opt to use HDMI you will be limited to 144Hz as the G51F is only equipped with an HDMI 2.0 port and not HDMI 2.1. That a side, movement looks pretty smooth with either input with a little ghosting and slight overshooting with overdrive all the way up. Build quality is about what you'd expect from a gaming monitor from Samsung. Sturdy with a good stand but not a lot of frills. My only real complaint is the brightness. It's probably bright enough for most but for my room with lots of sunlight it's right on the border. A few more hundred nits would be greatly appreciated.

I have always been a big fan of Samsung computer monitors. I’ve probably owned 10+ of them over the years. They have always been good quality, and on the off chance I did have a problem, Samsung's customer service is top notch. Out of the box you can tell this is a good quality and well-built monitor. It is very easy to put together, you basically just have to snap on the stand and you are ready to go! It has all the adjustments you need. You can tilt it up and down as well as swivel it side to side. There is also a height adjustment so you can move it up and down a little as well. The design is very minimalistic, while still looking like a gaming monitor at the same time. They don’t overdo it with tons of RGB lighting like a lot of companies do. It will look great sitting on any desk! My workstation is primarily used for work stuff as well as entertainment like watching online videos and a little bit of gaming as well. I was looking for a monitor that would give me a great balance of all of those things. I can definitely say, this monitor did not disappoint. While it is not a 4K monitor, its what’s known as a QHD or 1440p monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 and it also has HDR10 as well. It has 1 DisplayPort (1.4) and 2 HDMI 2.0 ports. For most people, that will be plenty. I usually just use the 1 display port. For office and video watching type stuff, the monitor looks great. It has an amazing crisp picture and looks great! For gaming, that’s when the 180Hz refresh rate and 1 millisecond response time comes in very handy. From old games, to the latest, they look amazing and have no screen tearing or anything like that. The monitor also has AMD FreeSync Premium which will add to keeping your video rock solid with no weird tearing or jagged edges or any kind of sync problems. I tested it out with a couple of my favorites, Elden Ring and Cyberpunk. The experience was amazing and flawless. Just for fun I also plugged in my Switch 2 and that also looked great as well. But with that, I did find the one small flaw in this monitor. It does not have any kind of internal speakers. So just be sure you are aware that you will need some kind of external speakers with whatever you use this for. Other than that, I really cannot find any negatives about this monitor. Its great quality, has a great price, and just works! Definitely check it out if you are in the market for a new monitor!

In the box is the monitor, power cord, stand, stand feet, HDMI cord, DisplayPort Cord, plastic decor ring, instructional guide and additional information/warranty guide. First Impression - This monitor is huge (as expected) but super light and the stand feels like it weighs more than the actual monitor. I am a little nervous about the feet but there are silicone pieces (anti-slip grip) that are placed perfectly to keep the monitor in place. The screen is matte which is new to me. The box that it came in was well packed and no worries about damage to any of the pieces as each piece is properly placed. Installation - Putting together the monitor was SUPER easy and it’s actually easy to take down if you want to travel or move the monitor to another location. (Everything snaps into place.) Game Play/Monitor Usage - Gaming was smooth and responsive. There is a gaming menu that is built in that you can use without the need of using an extra app. My favorite so far is the onscreen cross hairs. You can basically set up your gaming features and tether the view of the game of how you want it. I just got a new gaming laptop and the only difference between the monitor and the laptop screen was the matte. I didn’t think that I would like it but with time, I prefer it a little more now. The monitor is placed in an area with windows, so there is a lot of sunlight that peeps through and I didn’t have to worry about glares. I would also like to note that while playing RPG games, the monitor had a low latency. Side notes - There is no audio, however, there are outputs where you can plug in your headphones or speakers. I also watched videos and used one of my streaming apps and watched a show. The videos were flawless and my show played good with the current settings but I adjusted for a better view. The monitor has 2 HDMI ports, 1 DPI, a service and a headphone jack. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this product, I would definitely purchase again and I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

The Samsung Odyssey series gaming monitor is designed for folks on a budget, looking for first-class performance. In the box you will find your power cord, stand, rear cover, HDMI/Display Port cables; everything needed to get you going out of the box. There are three rear inputs (1xDisplay Port, 2x HDMI) in addition to a headphone port option. One great feature that seems to be disappearing is the adjustable options from the stand base of up/down and side-to-side. This enables you to use the monitor for more than just in a gaming setting by being able to rotate your display from landscape to portrait view. Gameplay and everyday use. The display has nice a crisp look in both areas of use, the colors were very clear and vibrant while the black levels seemed perfect. This was easily transitioned between a gaming computer and laptop with both having similar views and graphics options. The display resolution is set at Quad HD (QHD) with a max resolution of 2560 x 1440p; sitting just under a 4k UHD. Not all eyes can see the difference at these higher resolutions. Overall, all of the features this flat panel comes with are easy to use and adjust via a mini-joystick set up and a user friendly interface to work through various setting and customizations.

The picture is stunning. The build quality is great. Performance is well withing advertised specs. A great gaming monitor. But... Assembly was a bit wonky, there is a round purple/blue cover or decoration or something for the back of the monitor that is a pain to assemble and attach. It really adds nothing to the monitor functionally. It is up to you if you want to fight with it. The monitor ships with HDMI and Display Port cables. Both are too short to be used by anyone not using a docking station. Most people who game are probably using a tower that is more than 3 to 5 feet away from the monitor. I would even guess quite a few are even using multiple monitors. The power cord is longer than the display cables. I do not understand why they ship such short cables. If you reach out to support, one of the first questions is if you are using the cable that came with the monitor. Please decide to start including a 10 foot cable. We techy types do have cable management systems. When the cable is strung tight just to reach, that bypasses all the work we have done to build out our gamer pods. The controls are a single button/D-pad/joystick contraption that is common in most monitors today. It is horrible. To power off you need to navigate to off and select with a press that inevitably changes the HDMI port. Overall this is a really great monitor, as long as you don't need to navigate the menus. Those controls are enough to cost a star by themselves.

Purchased this to replace an older monitor. I looked all over for reviews for this model before finally buying it. It has a high 180hz refresh rate. Colors are pretty good. the control panel is simple. Easy to assemble. Out of the box you do have to set the refresh rate in the monitor menu to enable the refresh rate range in windows 10/11
