Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve gone through TWO of these Samsung 34” Odyssey G5 Ultra-Wide monitors in just 6 months—both failed catastrophically. First unit: The menu knob was so loose it literally fell off within weeks. Second unit: After only 4 months, the screen developed a full white haze across the display (photos attached). Completely unusable. Samsung’s warranty? A joke. Yes, it’s under their 1-year warranty, but they expect me to pay for shipping to send it in—because of where I live. Their own rep (very polite, but powerless) confirmed that customers in some locations have to foot the bill to get THEIR defective product repaired. Ridiculous. Build quality? Cheap plastic garbage. Shocking for a monitor marketed to gamers. You feel it the moment you unbox it—nothing premium here. False advertising alert: “HDR compatible” is printed right on the box, but don’t be fooled. The HDR implementation is laughably bad—washed out, dim, and not real HDR as multiple reviews have already pointed out. Bottom line: Don’t risk your hard-earned money. There are better, cheaper options out there from AOC, LG, and others who actually stand behind their products. I regret not listening to the red flags. You’ve been warned.

Fantastic.I bought this monitor for gaming and its been a great addition to my gaming setup.I would recommend to anyone.

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.

Massive monitor for the money. Very clear picture, excellent refresh rate for gaming, and it mounts to a monitor arm, which, from what I saw, most monitors of this size do not.

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.

I love this monitor. I don't do a lot of gaming on my computer, but the image clarity and color and resolution is amazing. I do a lot of graphic design work on it, so getting used to the curved screen took a week or so, but now I feel immersed in my work and have no regrets on this purchase. Much better than the 34" LG I was using previously.

Amazing picture quality! Upgrading from a MSI 32 inch and is a huge difference!

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.

I cannot describe the sheer size of this display. Picture quality and response time is great. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a ultra wide and doesnt want to pay graphics card prices.

I really like this monitor. The colors are excellent. The screen size is nice. The curve looks great but in certain games it takes getting used to. FPS games and Stellaris have been no problem but Rocket League for example, I have missed the ball several times not realizing I was off. Only real complaint is the terrible stand. I mean it’s AWFUL. But, that drove me to put it on a nice clamp on VESA arm and I’m glad I did.

Amazingly crisp display with an amazing color spectrum. Easy to use and set up plus seamless syncing. Worth every penny and a must have for any serious gamer. Nothing beats the Samsung G series monitors

Good monitor, coming from 1920x1080 to 3440x1440 is a nice change. Got to love the big screen. Only complaint is that the monitor stand suck, the monitor would wobble on a standing desk when you are typing. Who ever design the stand should get fired. Invest in a premium vesa mount like Ergotron if you are going to get the screen and you have a standing desk.

Amazing quality and fantastic graphics. Great for gaming also with 165gz. 100% recommend on buying!

I like it curved so i can see eveything easily! My husband use it for his trading monitor it comes out perfect! And for samsung tge price is really good!

My wife is really impressed with the “colors and stuff” as she happily farms citrine and various other fae materials into the early hours of the morning. The HDR10 pairs perfectly with my 7900XT for exploring the darker areas of the Salt Water mines to, again, farm citrine or the like. The luminous display also serves as a perfect night light as I drift to sleep as she plays, dreaming of what game I might one day get to sample on this amazing display. Solid 8 out of 10 stars here.

Excellent monitor responds quickly, colors are beautiful, great price for a great monitor.

The graphics on the monitor is amazing! The screen is bigger than it is on the phone/box.

Great display only thing that would make it better IMO is HDR but still makes all my games look beautiful
