Love the performance, hate the quality control
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great gaming monitor! Sits about an inch lower than the CHG70 it just replaced when mounted to a monitor arm. It also has a slightly more aggressive curve than previous models, but I find this to be helpful at keeping everything in view without having to dart your eyes around. My biggest gripe right now is the poorly placed Samsung logo that was stamped on the monitor but is sitting crooked. I don’t even have OCD and it’s driving me nuts every time I see it.

Different from its curved counterpart.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is great for gaming. 165hz is plenty enough to get you by any games your would want to play at best resolution settings. QHD IPS 2k resolution looks magnificent on this monitor and G-Sync adds a great touch. I would like to add I was once a curved monitor type of guy so I got both G5 Odyssey and its curved counterpart to do a dual monitor setup. Both work great, however, have different screen tints and look different from one another in terms of color resolution. If your looking for a monitor, and were once like me a curved finatic. I suggest you try this flat one out and make sure to match it with a flat if doing a daul monitor setup.

Damaged when opened
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t get much of a reading on it. Ordered it for my Boyfriends birthday back in November, opened it a couple days ago and the screen is damaged. However due to me ordering it for him during the cyber Monday deals and him opening for his birthday a few days ago put it past the return date. So now we are stuck with a broken monitor. He was excited opening till we plugged it in and saw the damage. Unfortunately now nothing can be done so sadly I’ll just have to save to get another one an see if it comes undamaged.

144hz or 165hz?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listed as 165hz, everyone selling this says 165hz, but under the device settings itself the “refresh rate” only allows you to select 65, 120, and 144, so what gives?

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIt says in the booklet for this product its able to tilt, however it doesnt seem like it can and im not trying to break it, is there a release the directions are super bland?
Asked by Brandon.
- A:Answer It does, I thought that as well at first. You have to hold it from the bottom with one hand and use your other hand to push it in whatever direction you want it to tilt. You don’t have to push it too hard but hard enough to where it’ll eventually tilt
