Good but not great
||Posted .Bought two of these for work and light gaming. The build feels a little cheap. Im not moving them around and once they're in place you dont really notice the build quality. What dives me a little nuts is ones about 1/4 inch taller than the other. So they dont line up. Not a big deal but I notice it. The curve is nice and they work great for the games i play.

The 5 in G5 is for the 5 stars
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Decided to move my battle station from 2 monitors to 3 and this was my number one option. The Samsung ticks a lot of my personal boxes, such as staying under 30 inches, coming in great for both gaming as well as minor content creation, without adding unnecessary RGB to the back like the G7. This is my first 144 Hertz monitor and it has been mind-blowing with how smooth games look. The jump from FHD to WQHD was also very noticeable, though the HDR may have helped with that. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable gaming and content monitor, I would recommend.

Excellent 1440p performance!
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Ended up going with the G5 since the G7 was out of stock and i was not going to opt for open box and it definitely wasnt a mistake! This monitor may need some tweaks out of the box but when you get it where you want it, its amazing. The blacks are deep and crisp, response time is on point! Not a fan of HDR so it doesn't matter to me anyways. No dead pixels, packaged nicely, and has been running like a champ for the last 6 months now! Doesn't have speakers but is complemented nicely by these logitech 6W Z150 speakers which were only $20

Q: QuestionIf I were to downscale to 1080p, is it going to look a lot worse or just slightly worse than a native 1080p monitor?
Asked by MalakEbayuser.
- A:Answer It depends on your scaling option. If you scale it 1:1 and accept the smaller screen size with black borders it will look fine. If you fill the screen with the lower resolution, it will look like crap
