Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Samsung Odyssey G75F is an excellent, massive and immersive gaming monitor. The huge 40” curved display is so good at immersing you into the game. I typically use a 27” monitor which is great, but jumping to this monitor was crazy. Playing FPS games are great on this Samsung display, but I feel it really shines with MMO’s or playing any campaign style game. You get so much screen just kind of feels like you’re there. The picture quality is good. OLED would have been the cherry on top but the VA panel does a good job. The panel is bright and color representation is great. The picture by picture function is really cool. You can split the screen with two different inputs which is awesome! Setting up the display is very straight forward. You may want a second set of hands to help though. This display is large and a bit awkward to handle so take your time. Overall this display is really great. It provides true immersion with an excellent picture and fast response time. If you’re thinking about a larger, curved display, give this one a shot.

I've had a couple of Samsung 49" Odyssey monitors over the years not to mention the multitude of TVs and soundbars. I've been extremely happy with the quality of their products and I've never had a product failure. While the 49" ultrawide is equivalent to 2 @ 27" monitors you need a bit of desktop space to accommodate the 40" is closer to 2 @ 24" monitors and can fit on a smaller desk. I put the 40" in the guest room with a spare desktop computer and it fits fine on a student's desk. Now that size is taken care of now to the specs. Performance-wise the G75F is a beast with a 1ms response time and 180Hz refresh rate and supports FreeSync. The curved screen Crazy high resolution at 5120 x 2160, so much so that I find I have to dial that down some otherwise the text and icons are too small for my old eyes. There are 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort. Switching between ports is easy with a under center switch. Even better the Auto Source Switch detects what port is connected to a powered on device and automatically switches. Besides input selection the switch also controls fine tuning the display's warmth, contrast, brightness, among others. It provides quick and easy adjustments on the fly. It also has a USB connection offering a couple of ports. I love the easy split screen where you can have up to 4 windows/apps open and displaying at the same time. On top of that the coolest feature for me is Picture-by-Picture where you can display 2 different inputs at the same time. Having a PC connected into one port and maybe a laptop/handheld/tablet into another port for simultaneous display, kinda like picture in picture in some TVs. All I need now is the 55" for my main gaming/work setup :)

Monitors keep getting better and better. As graphics cards and CPUs increase power it’s important to have a monitor that makes the most of that power. This monitor does that with room to spare. First, the design is excellent. The curved wraps around your field of vision and pulls you more into the action. I typically play sports games and this allows me to see the full field of play better. While it the screen is large is svelt from a thickness standpoint so you can use it without needing a great deal of room behind. Second, screen and detail. Samsung is known for its displays. Whether it be on a phone, tablet, or monitor, Samsung is king. This monitor proves that once again. It has an amazing 5120x2160 WUHD resolution and provides amazing detail. Flight Simulator 2024 looks even more amazing. When a I play a game that can have darker tones like DOOM the dark Ages, I am able to see more setail without having to mess with contrast or brightness. It also has a 180hz refresh with 1ms response so when you make a move it registers immediately. Finally, one feature I really like is the Picture in Picture. You can be playing a game and have something else on the screen as well. I am a big fan of this monitor. If you are looking for the best picture loaded with features, this is for you!

UNBOXING AND INSTALLATION I have never owned a Samsung monitor before. So my experience is a genuine newbie one. This unit is huge so be careful. I pulled out all of the supporting hardware, power source, and other items and carefully unwrapped them. I found the instructions to be woeful - and finding them on the Samsung website to see a clearer representation was not easy. Contrary re-directs did not help and there were contrary user manuals - one "user manual" - one "user manual (PC)". Of course since I'm using a PC I went there. Confusing and this is where I was taken away back to the monitor page, not support. I then went for just the user manual and it seemed more logical. Hooking up the monitor to the stand was tedious. I somehow managed to get the monitor on the arm but I still don't know if it is secure. But it didn't fall off after a few days so I guess it is okay. Clunky experience at best and below average compared to other manufacturer installation procedures. THE DEAL BREAKER Being able to use the monitor and its features is why one gets a monitor. The control part in the bottom underside (middle) is so clunky and awkward that I rate it the worst monitor experience I've ever had. I still don't know how to turn the monitor off. To turn it on, I move the mouse. No power indicator light is even visible even though the instructions say there is a light. How can a manufacturer take a good monitor and clunk it up like this? It is hard to find the button that does things and even in various attempts I haven't had an experience that finds what I want. Different screens pop up that I have no idea how to navigate. OVERALL EXPERIENCE Beautiful display and colors - thankfully my graphics card had a menu where i could adjust brightness and contrast etc, but never could I do this directly from the monitor. Refresh rate is very fluid and there appear to be no distortions on the actual monitor curve (something I was worried about). As a newbie to Samsung I am not impressed with the use experience. At night I just let the monitor turn itself off since I can't find how to do it with that awful button navigation finger dance the navigation area requires. My suggestion is to go to a store and to try this to see if you can figure out how to use a monitor. This is the worst monitor use experience I've ever encountered. I guess with this monitor it will be set it and forget it.
