Customers are saying

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. Some users also noted issues with ghosting and the lack of built-in speakers. Overall, the monitor receives high praise for its visual performance but some design elements need improvement.

    This monitor is ok at best the stand is garbage and the curve combined with the wrong screen size for the resolution makes it hard to play FPS games. I would only get this if I where playing a racing game.

    Although I gave this monitor 5 stars but there are some issues with it. First the HDMI post doesn't work with some gaming PC especially with CyberPower PC. Second I hate the fake speaker look towards the bottom. I know it's a gaming monitor and those don't look good.

    Great monitor, it does exactly what it says. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the stand barely allows for any swivel. Also, the price is a little high meanwhile there are other cheaper options that offer the same specs. Ex. The msi optix mag

    I several Samsung TV's (4K & 8K). This 2K WQHD replaced a 27" 1080P monitor as the main display. The G5 has impressive specs & is compatible w/my graphics card. Great performance when I use it for my auto racing games.

    Great monitor so far, but the stand has no features. Almost no tilt, low shake resistance, no raise\lower, so keep that in mind for your setup.

    Using this with my MacBook Pro. Fantastic work monitor. Was able to get 144 hz by using USB C to Display Port input cable. Bought a stand so it would sit higher.
