    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?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bought mine open box, and it is flawless. No scratches or dead pixles at all. The monitor itself is exactly what you would expect in it's price point, crisp clean visuals and high quality materials. I would say the price point is high, which is why I bought mine open box, but if you do a lot of tasks that an ultra wide would benefit, this is a good option. The only gripe I have is that it is so expensive. There are plenty of other ultra wides that would serve the same function for less. The price does get you the 165 frames that you want when gaming, and the screen does get brighter than necessary, while giving good contrast with the hdr. Overall would not buy again, but not regretting my purchase at all.

    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!

    Great color and easy to use menu. My suggestion is to make sure to turn off dynamic color or else your monitor will always try to match the color of your background and someone like me who uses dark mode this can get annoying seeing as the monitor will constantly darken. Besides a simple setting everything else is great the colors are amazing and it’s a great refresh rate and resolution for the price. The monitor stand could be way better as far as being able to adjust height and swivel but for the price it’s understandable. All in all for a $550 monitor it’s amazing. I recommend it for anyone on a budget.
