Customers are positive about the Odyssey G5 monitor's picture quality, refresh rate, and curved screen, with many praising its immersive viewing experience and value for the price. However, customers are negative about the stand's limited adjustability and somewhat underwhelming brightness, particularly in brightly lit rooms.

Fantastic for console gaming at 120fps. Doesn’t do 4K but then again it’s 350$. Fantastic bang for your bucks if your a serious gamer looking to play at 120fps. Any competitive gamer would sacrifice a slight dip in picture quality for double the FPS. I switched over to PC and now have a 240hz monitor but I will miss the 32” curve look

I'm loving my new PC monitor! It has a fast refresh rate, looks crisp and the curve is enjoyable when sitting directly in front. It's a bit more challenging to see from angles which can be enjoyable when wanting privacy. I've played a good handful of games and it's taken everything I've thrown at it.

First time I bought a wide screen curved monitor. It’s like having two monitors at once. The colors are very good with no tearing when playing games. I like how I can see so much of my spreadsheet at one time. Display is easy on the eyes with no flicker at all.

Bought this for the misses, first bought her an lg flat ultrawide monitor. She did not like too much screen glare, i swapped it for this she absolutely loved. She only uses for emails web browsing and watching you tube videos and movies.

Nice monitor - great price 0n sale for $299.99 - guess clearing inventory. The 144 mhz refresh rate sufficient enough, the IO in the monitor isn’t adequate to power items though.

I love it! It syncs to my iMac BookAir beautifully at full resolution and over double the refresh rate at 144 Hz! The color and depth is awesome. I'm not doing serious gaming, but I am enjoying to picture.

Overall a good monitor for the size and price. The stand it comes with isn't adjustable but if you budget for an arm you can VESA mount it and have a great setup.

Great monitor for the money. I recently built a rig with STRIX 3070, R73700X combo and needed something beside a work supplied Dell that pixelated the fine details. Now with this monitor I can see what the video card is made for, and the games look great in 1440 with some tweaks to other settings to my preference. I didn’t notice much light bleeding on my particular monitor, but have heard it depends on shipping styles. Had mine shipped to store so if there were a problem, I could immediately get a replacement. The Samsung G5 Odyssey is a great monitor from a price point of $300 (give or take a few $. The sale helped, and birthday rewards pushed me over the edge).

Good monitor for the price. I bought two of these, one that is higher definition. Both are good and the curved screen is nice. Using both for work.

Bought this less a year ago and the screen is pulling away from the back, leading to light leaking out the top. Best Buy support was less than useless, 2 hung up on me twice mid convo, acting like my acct isnt mine-can literally see the item on my bought items list. Will be my last product ever bought from BB after years of purchasing.

I’ve had the monitor for a bout a month and I could finally say i found the best budget 1440p. The 1000R is amazing am glad I got a curved screen. The thing that kept it from being a 5 star rate was that the screen is pretty bad on sunny days I have to keep my windows closed to not get annoying glare so keep that in mind. Also works fine on my Nintendo switch. One small downside is the stand only tilts up/down.

I bought this monitor around Black Friday '21, and am really impressed with the quality and features for the price. Curved, 2k 144Hz, 32" is more than I could ask for at approximately two fifty. It will jump to 4k at a lower refresh rate as well. The Aux port hooks up well to my external speakers, since there are no built-ins. Only had it a few weeks, but seems sturdy and works great!
