1440p and 165hz refresh rate it’s a quality ultrawide. My only complaint is the cheap and flimsy stand it comes with. No adjustability at all! I highly recommend getting a monitor mount for this.

Honestly looked great at first. At first is the keyword. Today I decided to set it up with my newly built PC and go from there. The dang thing won't stop cycling through brightness settings etc. I have no clue what to do and most likely will return it this weekend. Unusable.

Loved the Monitor. Then the screen broke and pixels were flashing and the wrong color. Called Samsung support and they told me to buy a new one. Why would I buy another monitor if this one broke after 1 year?

The monitor was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. I purchased it for my 13 year old son, and he absolutely loves it. He’s an avid gamer and immediately noticed how great the picture quality is. The colors are vibrant, bright, and not dull at all, which really enhances his gaming experience. He’s also very happy with the size of the monitor, saying it gives him a more immersive feel while playing. Overall, this was a great purchase and exceeded our expectations. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend.

The Great Cheaper Odyssey monitor is perfect for my daily gaming and cybersecurity studies. It provides ample screen space for 5 to 6 windows or even more, depending on how you arrange them! This monitor is ideal for multitaskers and anyone who requires plenty of workspace or a beautiful display for the new Battlefield 6 game. From my experience with ultra-wide monitors for gaming, I highly recommend having a graphics card like the 2070, 3070, or 4070, as higher resolutions can impact performance. I've seen the 70-series cards perform really well, as they strike a good balance between resolution and performance. I personally use a 4070 Ti Super, but I always recommend the 4070 Super, especially for those who love to play games like Arma.

I bought this monitor because it gave me the ability to break away from my 32 inch monitors and move into a monitor that gave a different view. With it being on sale, that gave me more of a reason to buy it. Picture is great and the curved feature makes it even more attractive! The only drawback is no onboard speakers, cannot update the firmware wirelessly, and only 1 HDMI and 1 Display port where my 32 inch monitors offer 2 HDMI and 1 Display port. I know gaming monitors are mostly made for headphone connections, but what if I wanted the gaming experience and use it for something else rather than gaming or I want my gaming play to be where I can hear it without the headphones? I would have to buy external speakers and audio jack adapter. Otherwise, I consider it a great buy.

I purchased this 34-inch Samsung curved monitor mainly for work and general use, and it has exceeded my expectations. The ultrawide size makes a huge difference, allowing me to comfortably work with multiple windows open at the same time without needing a second monitor.

Got it open-box and works great for my needs. Not a fan of the monitor's arc stand base. It takes too much space but over all a good monitor at the price I paid for.

Solid Monitor, Terrible Stand

The 1000R curve on this is fantastic. I am not having issues with noticing text warping or anything like that. I am not getting any flickering running freesync capability on my RTX 3070. It does require some tinkering to adjust the settings to get proper color, but every monitor does.
The ghosting that exists has had no impact on the games that I play. I am not a competitive gamer and mainly play single player games or PVE content in MMOs. If you are looking for top esports level response and no ghosting you are not going to find it here.
Lastly, the stand is a joke on this thing. Can slightly tilt up and down and cannot move vertically. It also wobble really badly. The value proposition really lies with the extreme curve which really adds immersion IMO.

I recently upgraded my gaming experience with the Samsung 34" Odyssey G5, and it has proven to be an absolute game-changer! Paired with its outstanding features, including a 1000R curved display, 1ms response time, 165Hz refresh rate, QHD resolution, and FreeSync Premium technology, this gaming monitor is a true powerhouse.
The 1000R curved display creates an immersive and panoramic gaming environment that wraps around my field of vision. It enhances the depth and realism of every game, drawing me into the action in a way that traditional flat monitors simply can't match.
The rapid 1ms response time ensures that fast-paced scenes unfold smoothly and without motion blur. This feature is particularly beneficial in competitive gaming, where split-second reactions can make all the difference. Combined with the 165Hz refresh rate, the Odyssey G5 delivers an ultra-smooth gaming experience, providing a significant advantage in both responsiveness and fluidity.
The QHD resolution elevates the visual quality, bringing sharpness and clarity to every detail on the screen. Whether I'm exploring vast open worlds or engaged in intense firefights, the crisp visuals contribute to a more engaging and enjoyable gaming experience.
FreeSync Premium technology further enhances the monitor's capabilities by reducing screen tearing and stuttering. This ensures that the graphics stay buttery smooth, allowing me to fully appreciate the stunning visuals without any distractions.
The sleek and modern design of the Odyssey G5 adds a touch of sophistication to my gaming setup. The thin bezels maximize the screen real estate, creating an unobstructed view that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal.
In conclusion, the Samsung Odyssey G5 34" Gaming Monitor has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. With its curved display, rapid response time, high refresh rate, QHD resolution, and FreeSync Premium technology, it has become an essential component of my gaming setup. If you're looking to elevate your gaming experience, the Odyssey G5 is an excellent choice.
Happy gaming!

If you've been waiting to jump into ultrawide gaming, the Samsung Odyssey G5 is the perfect entry point. The aggressive 1000R curve is the star of the show, delivering jaw-dropping immersion.
Sitting at the 34-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio, this monitor genuinely wraps around your field of view, making racing and single-player games an experience you can't get on a flat screen.
Quick Specs
Curve: 1000R (Ultra-Curved)
Resolution: 3440 x 1440 (WQHD)
Speed: 165Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response Time
Panel: VA (Vertical Alignment)
The technical performance is solid: 165Hz is buttery smooth, and the high contrast VA panel provides deep blacks that make movie nights and dark scenes pop. It's also a productivity powerhouse, allowing you to run three windows side by side comfortably.

I love Ultrawides, even over a 4k display. The stand sucks and the HDR is a joke. The picture is great and I like the 165hrz. But there are other Ultrawide displays that are $100 cheaper and are just as good. I sold mine and got the Asus Tuf 34" for $499.
