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 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.

I bought it without knowing much about monitors and I realized that the VA panel is not for me. it has very little contrast. if you looked for a curved panel with good colors. make sure it is OLED or IPS does VA no look good

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.

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.

This is my first curved monitor and now I think I want another one to give the full wrap around view. The screen quality is excellent and 165 Hz is great for gaming. Love the joystick menu system, very easy to navigate when changing from PC to laptop for work.

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.

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.

The monitor itself is excellent and has a pretty nice image. The stand is not the best. For the price the size and the 165Hz is nice.

These were larger than I was thinking but they have worked great for what I was going for when making this purchase. I am very pleased with the two I bought as they function to give me....what effectively is......an extra 4 to 6 screens because they are wide enough for me to use each one like it is 2 to 3 screen. Love the increase in my productivity since I have less time spent bringing other things to the front as I can have more things in sight at all times while completing tasks.

Plug and play. Very nice picture and I definetely notice the improvment from my old HD only monitor. Great for both work and play, only issue is theres only one HDMI port. Had to get a switcher but other than that I like it alot! Highly recomend for a budget ultrawide!
