Many appreciate its value for the price and the immersive experience provided by its curved screen and HDR capabilities. However, some users have reported issues with dead pixels and ghosting, while others find the stand less than ideal. The color accuracy is also frequently praised.

    Got this for my sons gaming setup and it has not disappointed! We’re now using his original monitor as a secondary and the difference in graphics is insane.

    It has its pros and cons, but its a good monitor if you don't want to spend the money for the G7.

    I initially was going to save up money for a G9 but this Odyssey G5 takes the cake. The HDR mode look okay but I turn it off since I prefer having color over dark colors.

    Poor Monitor - Horrendous Service

    Best Buy customer services has proven to be incompetent in my recent experience. This monitor developed a dark blemish on the left side of the screen and a dead pixel on the right within a two weeks of receiving it. Unless I turn my monitor on first, it won't turn on when I turn my computer on. The monitor *must* be on prior to turning on the computer. When I contacted Best Buy customer service about a possible exchange, I was told to wait (nine days, total) for the monitors to be in stock. I went after the nine days and there were none. Not only that, but the customer service rep I spoke with said that they aren't allowed to give out delivery dates any more because its an 'in demand' item. So tell me, why was I lied to in the first place? Why would a representative of your store purposefully give me incorrect information? These are rhetorical questions Best Buy won't ever answer

    Good monitor, but small smudge-like mark on screen near the bottom middle. Too much hassle to get exchanged.

    Picture quality is good for the price but after only 8 months of owning my screen began peeling away from the back. It is slowly coming off more and more every week. Very disappointed in that regard. Going to have a monitor that is not usable soon

    I always used 24" 1080p 144hz monitors, so the G5 was a big jump for me. I highly recommend this monitor.

    Some issues

    Dead pixels show up every once in awhile which is annoying and sometimes half my screen will be darker than the other side but then will eventually go away. Also sometimes when I start up my pc in order for my monitor to do anything I have to unplug power and replug back in. Other than those issues the quality of the screen and everything is great
