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.

    Horrible Amounts of Ghosting

    Pros: Amazing quality and decent unboxing. Pros end there Cons: Terrible ghosting even for a VA panel. If you try to turn the monitor up to Fastest you get a terrible inverse ghosting effect. I have tried to see if the ghosting was caused by a bad driver or maybe a program messing with the settings, but that just isn't the case. Sadly this monitor falls short of all my expectations of being a smooth high end monitor.

    Tv is much better than using just a tv to game but the quality is mediocre. A lot of light bleed on the edges top and bottom in dark scenes but it doesn’t bother me that much.

    I would give this monitor 5 stars had it not shown up with dead pixels. Everything looks beautiful on this monitor but the white dots on my screen. I contacted BB support and they told me all the best buys in the nation didnt have this in stock, so i couldnt get a replacment. The last two bestbuy workers i spoke with acted as if they didnt want to do their jobs. Ive been buying electronics from best buy for years. But i will not be buying from them anymore.

    After 6 days the power just killed out. Tried to reset and replug it back in after 1 hour and nothing. The monitor is totally dead. I expected more from Samsung!!! Now they don't have any in stock and i have to return the broken monitor. So no chance to see if it was just a lemon.

    Read nothing but good reviews on this monitor, but from my experience, it's trash. I can barely play any games. I was able to run games better on a 4K monitor with 60hz than on this dumpster fire. EVERY SINGLE GAME WAS CHOPPY AND LOOK TERRIBLE. I've gone through all the settings and modes and nothing helps it. Do yourself a favor and go get an MSI monitor. For a few dollars cheaper you can get a 27'' Curved MSI with 240hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. This samsung monitor was truly a waste of time.
