Customer Ratings & Reviews

LOVE this monitor it’s an absolute BEAST! Vivid colors, huge screen, speakers too.

I started a remote job in the last month or so and this monitor has been invaluable to my ability to do my job efficiently. I used to juggle several windows on a 17" laptop screen, and now I have 34" of ultrawide monitor so I can open 3-4 static windows and have room for more on top of that. So much better. I haven't had a chance to play many games on it, but I'm hoping to soon. I'm sure it will be a great experience. This is my first curved monitor and my second 34" ultrawide and I love it. Samsung (usually) makes great products and this is no exception. The only thing I do not like is the lack of built-in speakers.

Stunning screen resolution; immersive experience - I use it for work and it is amazing

Great screen to use as a second monitor for work. Allows for numerous documents to be open at the same time with the ability to see them. My only dislike per se is the toggle on the bottom of the screen to turn screen on and off and to make screen adjustments. I also haven't figured out how to move the screen up or down for better viewing depending on where I am sitting.

I've only had this monitor for a couple weeks and I love it. The quality is so clear. I love the curved screen for immersion gaming but its also nice if you're working. You don't have to rotate your head back and forth like if you were using 2 screens. And lots of space if you want to have your email up on half the screen and use the other half for a different task. Only issue was that it did not come with an HDMI cord, it came with a display port, which doesn't exist on my laptop so I had to purchase an HDMI to be able to use it. Some day I'll have a desktop and that wouldn't be an issue. So it won't effect my star rating.

Overall a good monitor if you can get it for a decent price. I got mine for around $460. Pros: *Amazing Color (I know some Samsung products tend to over saturate the colors but this monitor looked great if your getting this monitor for video and photo editing it really does look great. The monitor covers I think all of the dcip3 color space) *Refresh rate is a plus. (It can be a little hard to find a monitor in 21:9 aspect ratio at 165hz) *Availability *Bang for buck. (At $460 it has some pretty good features, read spec sheet for most) Cons: *Smeared Darks (It's a little harder to explain this one, but I play a lot of tarkov. It's a dark game and when I'm looking into a black and grey corner the details almost completely disappear) *Fake HDR (It says it supports HDR but in reality it just excepts HDR signals. The HDR on this monitor looks worse than the SDR. NOT SAYING THE SDR LOOKS BAD. Just that the HDR looks awful) *Vesa mount on the back is a little too high for some mounts. (My mount in particular is an arm mount that attaches to my desk. Because the vesa mount on the monitor is so high is sags down at the bottom. I would suggest a heavier duty monitor arm) *Freesync premium. (Now I know this may seem like it should be a pro. But it's just a bummer because in my instance I have a rtx 3080. Most freesync premium monitors at least are compatible with g-sync but this monitor in my experience was not. Although I didn't have any issues with screen tearing or latency) Overall a good monitor for the price. The curve is a little aggressive at 1000R but really not a bad curve for the size.

165hz is amazing however, be prepared to dedicate some time getting it setup. Turning on some options turns others off so it takes awhile to find a good overall picture. The curve is great and it's plenty bright enough. I mounted mine because the stand is terrible. In fact, I wouldn't have purchased this monitor if I had to use the supplied stand.

The stand sucks, period. That’s really the only bad part of this monitor I debated returning this for about 2 days. I felt the value was off because of my first impressions of the stand. After about a week I cannot see myself playing on any other monitor. The screen is so clear and the darks are so precise that I cannot imagine playing any other way. The options are very user friendly as well. Lastly, the 1500r curve, whoa what can I say. It takes a couple days to get used to but after that it is truly a game changer, literally. I am so immersed In gameplay.

Great specs for gaming. Got “open box Excellent” and it was perfect and saved $200. Wide and curved is perfect for gaming Samsung has been my choice for over 25 years.

This monitor is probably one of the besr i have ever bought. Clear picture and the refresh rate isnt anything to sneeze at. My next business I start all the office monitors will be this

We recently purchased the Samsung 34” Odyssey G5 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. The picture is incredibly clear, making everything look crisp and vibrant. The 34” width is perfect, providing an immersive experience without feeling overwhelming. The refresh rate of 165Hz ensures smooth gameplay, and the 1ms response time makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. The quality of this monitor is truly amazing. My husband has had a hard time finding a monitor that meets his needs, but this one fits perfectly. We're confident this is the one that will stay. Highly recommend it to any gamer looking for a top-notch monitor!

Great screen. I use it for racing games. Love it. No speakers and only two ports one hdmi and dp. If you can live with that, and get it on sale, its great.

Great picture. The curve is really comfortable on your eyes. Haven’t had any issues with any of the games I play. The stand is very cheap and flimsy. The button takes some getting used to and accessing the ports on the back with this flimsy stand is a bit precarious at best. Overall not a bad gaming monitor.

The best monitor I've ever bought, I have always liked the color and video quality of Samsung products, For this price point I think it's the best value.

Bought this for its curvature (1000R). It's not used for playing fast motion games but for work, so I can't speak for that. The scrolling text (spreadsheet, browsers) are visibly smoother than a 60Hz monitor. Text are also sharp and color is good. I used a wall mount for the monitor, as I wanted to have clearance under not taking up by the included stand. Ran into an issue of monitor couldn't power / resume after going into sleep (removed laptop). Took many tries over couple of hours, but end it up able to get display showing after unplugging for more than couple of minutes and click the "joystick" twice. Manual said only click once.

A fantastic monitor. I’m able to do my school work on one screen with the option to use it as two monitors and am able to play video games without any issues and a great picture.

Excellent love it great graphics . Easy to use. Display quality perfect

We love our Samsung 34” Odyssey G5 1000R Curved 1ms 165Hz QHD Free Sync Prem Gaming Monitor. We always go to best Buy. we were able to get the Opened Box price and added a 4 Year warrantee on it for cheaper than the sale price. No where else can you receive such an awesome deal.

Great product easy to use good display great for gaming and better used for split screens

Upgraded from LG IPS ultrawide 1080p to this Samsung VA Ultrawide and experience is mixed. I like the increased screen real estate and curve makes gaming more enjoyable. What i don't like is the narrow viewing angle. When watching movies, the color changes even with slight shift in viewing position. Also, the text clarity is not as good as my 24inch 1080p ips monitor. It also takes longer to turn it on or off.
