i have sensitive eyes and have been using the product for two months.
- eye saver mode doesn't work. it's very annoying as they don't have levels
- i can't dim the light enough. brightness=0, still too bright even when contrast=0
- on my other brand monitor, the blue light filter can be adjusted gradually. and when i change the brightness setting i can get a really dark image.
- the black level setting in the menu cannot be activated.
- i should be able to adjust brightness and contrast when dynamic contrast is selected
firmware is up to date 1.006

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Samsung gaming monitor is a stunning high-end option built for serious gamers. Its massive curved display with advanced LED technology delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent HDR performance. With an ultra-fast refresh rate and quick response time, gameplay feels buttery smooth and highly responsive, perfect for competitive titles. The wide screen creates an immersive experience, essentially replacing a dual-monitor setup. Build quality is premium, and the sleek design fits perfectly in a modern gaming setup. While the price is steep, the performance and features make it one of the best gaming monitors available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the 34 G55T Odyssey Gaming Monitor, and it’s been a solid experience so far. The curved design makes games and videos look immersive, and the wide screen is great for multitasking. The picture quality is sharp, with good brightness and vibrant colors.
Gaming performance is smooth with the high refresh rate and fast response time—it’s noticeable in fast-action games. Setup was straightforward, and the build feels sturdy.
A couple of minor issues: the stand takes up quite a bit of desk space, and the menu system isn’t the easiest to navigate. But these don’t take away from the overall experience. Definitely a great monitor for its price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The G5 line has great looking panels for the price, and while the response times aren't as good as some other kinds of gaming monitors, any issues are completely unnoticeable unless you're looking for them.
I will say, I have both the 27 and 34 inch G5 monitors, and the height of the frames is off by about a quarter of an inch from each other, and performance of the panels is not really on the same level. This was a bit disappointing, as I wanted to have an exact match next to each other, but the blacks are much lighter on the 27. Other than that, both of them have been fantastic, and are definitely worth it for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor because I was tired of having two 27" monitors cluttering up my desk. The main purpose was for work. I work from home and spend 8 to 12 hours a day in front of this monitor. Its very stable, clear and bright and super easy on the eyes. Awhile ago, we had family in for a week and I wasn't able to get much play station time, so I moved it from my family room TV to this monitor. What a difference. My visitors are long gone, but my play station is still connected to my Samsung gaming monitor and I don't expect I'll move it back anytime soon. I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its perfect for gaming honestly, great resolution, don't have to fight with background light glare and the menu for the settings isn't so bad to manage around your preferences to optimize brightness and cotrast, my games hit the right amount of hz and the right amount of sharp text clarity. When transitioning to my laptop which would be my primary screen and the monitor being my second screen is such a smooth experience with no delay and delivers a great view with my day to day work. I can view through this monitor for hours without straining my eyesight as I've felt with other brands of monitors, overall love it!

i recently procured a new gaming pc with a rtx 3060 ti. having this new system i wanted to reap the benefits with a most modern of monitor. 1440p, high refresh rate, and hdr would be of utmost importance. with this in mind i set out across the webland exploring the the many wares and perusing the reviews. having the highest regard for samsung i was naturally drawn to their items. having settled on the 27" g5 odyssey as my choice i set at once to the checkout cart with haste. i give this product four stars for cost to performance, but it is deprived one star for the inclusion of an hdmi cable and not dp 1.4
I recommended this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set up was really easy. The stand isn't the sturdiest, but it gets the job done.
I got this monitor purely for work and productivity, and im shocked at how well it performs! The display is huge, has crisp visuals, and plenty of menu options to dial in the monitor to suit your preferences. Definitely an upgrade from a dual monitor setup.
One issue i had with the monitor however, was adjusting the tilt. It takes some decent force to get it to move and if you hold it the wrong way, you can damage it - be aware.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and look forward to using it moving forward.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my 34-inch Samsung Odyssey G55T, and it's been an awesome upgrade for my gaming setup! The 1000R curve is incredibly immersive; it really pulls you into games and makes everything feel more engaging. The Ultra WQHD resolution is super sharp, giving me a fantastic wide view, which is perfect for seeing more of the battlefield. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make gameplay incredibly smooth and fluid, with no tearing thanks to FreeSync Premium. While the HDR isn't top-tier, the contrast on this VA panel is really good, making blacks look deep and rich. It's truly a good Monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For someone who uses the monitor for everyday use as well as gaming spending around 7+ hours a day, this has reliably fulfilled my needs for at least last 2 years and without issues.
I like how bright the monitor especially as someone who sits with the window facing my monitor.
From gaming to typing documents to watch movies, I have thoroughly enjoyed the monitor. I have not had any major issues this far. Connectivity has been on point.
My one complaint is that the monitor seems to be leaning forward on its own stand. Would probably recommend using a monitor arm for better positioning.

Monitor is really great, curved design is really good for your eyes, colors are not oversaturated and overall experience in gaming and video-editing is better than I expected from VA panel. There is only one thing that bothers me, official specifications states that monitor supports DisplayPort 1.4, except it doesn't. I tried three different DP cables, I even checked if my GPU supports it, everything should be fine but menu in monitor doesn't show support for DP 1.4 and since there is no firmware update for this issue yet I hope that it will be fixed soon, beside that everything works.
I recommended this product.

I purchased this monitor when it first came out, and within a week of using it, the screen would constantly flicker. Send it in for repair, months later my replacement arrived. No issues with the replacement/repaired model until 11 months later, the flickering is back. It is only present when using displayport and 165hz, tested with multiple cables/video cards. HDMI is fine, its a shame really that I can't get the full performance out of the monitor. However, it is a beautiful display, the curve is fantastic and I wouldn't go back to a normal monitor, ultrawide curved for life.
I recommended this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having three of the 27” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitors on a 3 monitor stand, the experience is truly immersive. For gaming, the 144 Hz, Freesync experience is second to none when paired with my mainstream AMD gaming computer.
One wish, however, is having the monitor become undetected on the one input when set to the other. For example, when one monitor's set to HDMI for my work computer and two others are set to my gaming computer over DisplayPort, Windows on my gaming computer still detects three usable monitors.
All in all, I enjoy my 27” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitors.

after months of research into monitors i decided to hold out until the release of the g5 and couldn't be happier.
mostly used for gaming on a pc with ryzen 5 3600 and rtx2060 super, the picture quality is perfect, the 144 hz panel is noticeably better than my old 75 hz display. in fast paced games its so smooth i can honestly say its made games more enjoyable.
i was nervous about the severity of the curve but again this was a pleasant surprise, not only does it allow it to fit better on my small desk, for a monitor of this size it really helps take in the whole screen.
I recommended this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the 27-inch gaming monitor, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The large screen size provides an immersive gaming experience, and the crystal-clear display with vibrant colors truly enhances every game I play. The fast refresh rate and low response time ensure that there's no lag or ghosting, making my gaming sessions incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The monitor's design is sleek and modern, adding a stylish touch to my gaming setup. Overall, I highly recommend this 27-inch gaming monitor to anyone looking to elevate their gaming experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Odyssey G55T 34-inch monitor for a while, and the performance difference is truly noticeable. The image quality is outstanding with QHD resolution and the immersive 1000R curve that pulls you right into the game. Colors are vibrant, and the clarity is excellent. The 165Hz refresh rate combined with the 1ms response time delivers ultra-smooth gameplay with no stuttering or tearing. Plus, the monitor’s design is sleek and feels premium. Honestly, this is the perfect choice for gamers who want top-tier performance without breaking the bank.

I've had the 34" Odyssey G55T WQHD 165Hz 1ms(MPRT) HDR Curved Gaming Monitor for a year now. I'm more than happy with the picture quality, videos. For me, I'm not a gamer, I use mine for work, I'll have 12 tabs open, plus the 4 programs that I utilize. Set up so I am able to get to what I want with a slight move of the wrist.
My only complaint is the flimsy mounting of the stand to the screen. The screen bounces because of a poor joint alignment & It needs a beefier joint/mount, it be an easy fix. I was unable to find the VESA bracket to fit this model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a165hz display on my laptop itself and focally decided to order a monitor which has similar refresh if not more. I came upon the Odyssey G5 34' and ordered it. This is an amazing display and it is not only vibrant but it has a super quick response time and the wide screen makes you feel like you're one with the game that you're playing. I use it primarily for racing games and have used it for fps games as well and this monitor does not disappoint. I hope they included the speakers in built but that's no worries since the laptop has good songs and they provide a sound output through the monitor. I would 10/10 recommend this monitor to anyone who is looking for a great display and it's confused between 34/32' curved or wide displays.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just wanted to share how much I'm loving my 34" Samsung Odyssey G55T! The 1000R curve is seriously immersive – it just pulls you right into the game. Everything looks super sharp with the WQHD resolution, and the 165Hz refresh rate makes gameplay incredibly smooth. I've been really impressed with the deep blacks and vibrant colors too. My only small gripe is the stand – it only tilts, so I might VESA mount it down the line for better positioning. But honestly, for the visual upgrade and gaming performance, this monitor is a winner in my book!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time using a samsung. And its amazing. The Samsung G5 is an awesome gaming monitor that has made my gaming experience much more enjoyable. The curved 27-inch 1440p display pulls you in, and the 165Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time keeps everything smooth. FreeSync Premium prevents screen tearing, and the VA panel delivers deep contrast and rich colors. Its easy to get that sick kill kam. The sleek design and immersive feel make it a fantastic choice. For the price, it’s a steal. 5/5 stars!
Will be buying more down the road.

Pros:
+ Resolution
+ Picture Quality
+ Refresh rate
+/- Possibly the price
Cons:
- Huge amount of backlighting
- Ergonomics (very uncomfortable stand)
- No backlighting
- Questionable design
- Pseudo HDR
In general, the monitor would not be bad, if not for the huge amount of backlighting. Dark scenes are impossible to watch even at medium brightness, everything is in white spots. Highlights are visible even in medium-lighted scenes. That's the only reason for the 1* rating. I think you can find a better monitor for this money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a year of ownership, this monitor is still going strong! The wider aspect ratio has greatly boosted my productivity, allowing me to fit more content onto the screen. As for gaming, the wider screen also allows you to see more of what you're playing unlike a 16:9 monitor. The sharp resolution, high 165hz refresh rate, and vibrant colors also enhance my gaming experience. The 34" screen size is perfect, I don't wish it was any bigger or smaller. Overall, if you're looking into a curved monitor, I think the G5 is a solid choice.

I bought this a 6 months ago and have returned multiple times to have repaired as the monitor will just turn off and on making gaming completely useless. I have been told this is because i have been using a console which it is not compatible with (Ps5 and Ps4) however instead of just playing at a lower frame rate or lower resolution the screen will just completely turn black making gaming unplayable. If this is the case then there should be warning of this on the website especially if they are advertising as a "gaming"monitor.

i've only owned the g5 for a few days, and the monitor itself has been a fantastic experience. my only concern is the plastic stand it comes with feels flimsy and is not adjustable so the monitor ends up being aimed at my chest instead of my face, especially since the stand dips slightly from the weight of the monitor.
i'm not too worried that the stand will not hold up, it's just disappointing that this is the worst stand i've gotten from the 6 samsung screens i've purchased in the past decade, of which i still use 5.

I have had this unit for a while and it has operated well. The Power/menu button is annoying to operate as it is difficult to get to the menu and navigate around. As separate On/Off would have sufficed. Also disappointing is that whilst Samsung advertise 165hz, it doesn't. 100 hz is the highest it can go, so the advertising is misleading.
The Axis adjustment is ok, but the base stand is very wide and consumes a lot of space on the desk. Image sharpness is ok, but not the best due to minor ghosting and no amount of adjustment fixes the problem, as expressed in other reviews, a bit of ghosting happens which indicates poor quality control.
Would I buy another Samsung? No as it is too frustrating to operate, poor quality control, and the 100 hz is the max not 165hz..

Started out thinking I bought a great monitor. Not so. Monitor doesn't always connect to computer when it boots up. It will lose connectivity and go black and not reconnect to the computer until I have unplugged cables and reconnected them. I have searched for firmware updates to see if any of these items could be resolved but no luck. There is firmware for the other monitors in the group but not the 34". Save your money go buy a different monitor. Used to be a Samsung fan but not so much after this.

ive run through a few monitors in my days. acer. hp. and they all had problems woth dead pixels and coloring. this g5 is amazing. i use it with my razer laptop for gaming, school, and work. it has met all my needs. i have mever had any screen tearing. you should only buy monitors by companies that actually make their display pannels and smasung is one of them. finding the right coloring is a difficult task just like on any monitor. but im sure youll find. just got to take the time. 10/10. love this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 34" Odyssey G55T is honestly awesome for both gaming and getting work done. I have two of these side by side and the games look super smooth thanks to the fast refresh rate. It feels like you’re actually in the game with how curved and wide the screen is. Multitasking is way easier as well. I can keep my chat, web browser, and a bunch of documents open all at once and still have room to spare. Switching between games and work is seamless, no annoying lag or weird problems. The colors pop, and everything stays crisp whether gaming or just binge-watching movies. After few years of heavy use, both monitors are still working great with zero issues. If you’re looking for something that delivers on both gaming excitement and productivity, this monitor totally hits the mark.

i got my monitor way earlier than i expected and it was on a sunday which is crazy. i think the design is interesting and the curve is not that notice able when looking straight at it. i bought this so that i'm ready for the xbox series x/s for the 120 fps. right now i'm using my xbox one x at 1440p and 120fps, but honestly there aren't any xbox one games that go above 60 fps. another thing is that there's no fps counter. compared to other monitors with similar specs this could be best in terms of price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the 27" Gaming Monitor with a 1000R curved screen primarily for gaming, and it has significantly enhanced my experience. The curvature of the display provides a more immersive experience, wrapping the visuals around my field of view, making gameplay feel more engaging. The colors are vibrant, and the refresh rate is excellent, which is crucial for fast-paced games.
The monitor also features adjustable settings that allow me to optimize for different types of content, whether I’m streaming, watching movies, or working. I’ve noticed less eye strain during extended gaming sessions thanks to the curvature and blue light filter. Overall, this monitor has become an essential part of my gaming setup, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor strictly for gaming and browsing. Best monitor ever! It is very high quality, feels very sturdy. Looks really nice and is slim. The curve is perfect for gaming, makes you feel like you are in the game. Very pleased with my decision to buy this monitor. Would buy over and over again. Just make sure to use a display cable or you might not get the full resolution! I've had no problems with this monitor, and I've had it over a year now. Would definitely recommend checking it out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Primarily used for gaming but as a day trader I found that the nice tight curve actually helps me spot trades quickly by being to see the entire screen (with 2 or sometimes even 3 chart windows) without too much eye movement. Compared to a wider flat monitor or 2 separate monitors, the difference is astronomical. That may be all in my head but I can’t argue with results.
Now for the unfortunate news, a few feet directly over my monitor was a shelf with, evidently, too much of a load on it. It came down with a vengeance one night while I slept, knocked the monitor to the floor, obviously cracking the screen in the process. I couldn’t remove a star for that as I have yet to find a monitor that would handle such a situation without damage. Currently budgeting a save fund for a new one.

Don’t buy it – false advertising and poor build quality
Don’t buy this monitor. The Samsung G55 34-inch does NOT run at 165 Hz as advertised.
I tested it with multiple laptops, and the result was the same every time. Regardless of the HDMI cable or the device used, the maximum refresh rate is limited to 100 Hz. This makes the 165 Hz claim extremely misleading.
The build quality is also very poor. The plastic casing feels cheap, and my unit had a visible gap on the left side of the monitor, which clearly points to bad manufacturing and quality control.
Overall, this product relies on the Samsung brand name rather than real quality. Between the false refresh rate claims and the poor physical build, this monitor is not worth the money.
Avoid it. There are much better monitors available for less.

the monitor is a great monitor for what it is... for a short amount of time. i have owned this for maybe a year and it's lifespan is already showing the end is near.
the entire bottom half has dark spots even though it's never touched or bumped and sits comfortably on my desk. the middle also has a random line about an inch in a half thick like previous poor reviews that is starting to go out sporadically.
truly disappointing to invest in something and have it last just about a year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor daily for gaming. streaming, 3d design for my printers. The picture has a little to be desired when it comes to the hdr brightness but it is beautiful. The extreme curvature of the screen really makes the monitor feel almost projected around you. The only gripe I really have is the stand. The legs are long and awkwardly pointy while the movement is limited to just a tiny degree of tilt with no vertical movement. Other than that very solid and would recommend.

the monitor is very fast and responsive to inputs however if you are interested in this monitor you should know two things. 1. the vertical (and to some extent horizontal) viewing angles are not the best, even if you are off a few degrees you will notice some 'greying' of the colors. 2. the color out of the box was very bad and it took me changing settings in windows, the monitor, and my gpu settings to get something pleasant. apart from that, it's a very good monitor for the price.

The image is so clear and smooth and the colors are so vibrant and are easily changed if needed. The one problem I've had is a bit of flickering but that's only happened if it's been on all day and fixes just by shutting the monitor off for a little. It's just the right size to be able to see they whole monitor but still get the extra immersion that comes with an ultra wide monitor. Overall great monitor! 10/10

The color contrast, 144hz display and built in crosshairs option are some of the little things I appreciate about this product. The button to navigate the settings is genuine and simple which I love. One button to do it all! Lol all jokes aside I've read reviews of this monitor and some people complained about dead pixels but I've personally owned this monitor for almost 3 years and it has never presented any type of issue and I use it almost 16 hours out of the day every day.
If you're looking for a monitor to suit your gaming/ entertainment needs.. this is the best budget gaming monitor on the market HANDS DOWN. If you want even better specs, size and options... then go see the G5's big brother the Odyssey G7. Great product as well!

Games look great and having a 165hz refresh rate paired with a powerful computer I can say my games look better than ever.
Even playing on my Racing simulator the games seem to fit perfect with the curved monitor to really make you feel like your in the drivers seat

The controls were a little confusing but it only took a few minutes to figure them out. When I do purchase another it might be the 59" I love Samsung products.

I would say for people who want daily use monitor for general use like web browsing, scrolling pdfs,etc. you could rather go for IPS displays from samsung. This one is something better for gaming and media as colors and blacks are better on this VA panel than an IPS panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The detail at 1440p is absolutely wonderful. The curved screen does seem to help with reflections, however this is not really an issue with its bright screen. The only complaint is how dim hdr is. As long as you are not using HDR, this display has no issues with anything you can throw at it. Using display port through pc is much better at handling frame rates. This is not included. Get one. If you have a large desk, get 2.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Odyssey G5 34" (LC34G55TWWNXZA) is an ultra-wide, curved gaming monitor with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and a 1000R curvature, delivering an immersive gaming experience. It boasts a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, making gameplay smooth and responsive, with AMD FreeSync Premium eliminating screen tearing and stuttering.
The VA panel offers rich colors and deep blacks, though the HDR10 performance could be brighter. The monitor’s design is sleek, but the stand only allows for tilt adjustment — no height adjustment or USB ports is a drawback.
Pros:
✔️ Smooth 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time
✔️ Immersive 1000R curvature
✔️ Strong color and contrast
Cons:
❌ Limited stand adjustability
❌ Average HDR performance
❌ No USB ports
Verdict: A solid, immersive gaming monitor at a competitive price, ideal for fast-paced and visually demanding games.

First persons shooters I feel you get a bigger fov but without sacrificing screen quality or having to constantly look side to side to see the whole screen. Where this monitor really shines is in sim racing. It’s plenty big enough to surfice as someone’s only monitor for sim racing. All together for the price you can’t beat it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitor is the perfect fit for me. I have the curved 34-inch screen size and 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio, making the option ideal for gaming. It's not overwhelmingly large, but big enough to check all the boxes. I can see more of the gaming environment while it's wrapped around my field of vision and making me feel like I'm in the center of the action. Even during long sessions, I’ve experienced reduced eye strain, as my eyes do not have to adjust focus constantly, like on a flat-screen monitor. Additionally, the 165Hz refresh rate delivers incredibly smooth gameplay with no motion blur, making fast-paced games feel seamless.
Setting up the monitor was quick and simple, and the package includes everything you need to get started. If you're looking for a monitor that enhances gaming immersion with a very reasonable price tag, I highly recommend the Samsung G5 Odyssey!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor at work. I consistently have multiple screens open and the Win11 multi-split windows options work amazingly well. The screen real estate is perfect for having three separate apps or windows open at once, so comparing data across spreadsheets, and transcribing from different sources for training development and planning is a breeze. With videoconferencing it's also extremely useful to have the video app, slide deck, and chat windows readily available. I pair it with a ultra wide flat monitor in portrait view which I use for long documents and websites. This combo is fed from my laptop which I keep the lid closed since my Odyssey gives me all the screen I need. This monitor effectively replaces two, or three individual monitors!
I'm ok with it not having speakers since my other monitor does, but I do sometimes wish I could rotate it to portrait, but not often enough to care.

About six months of ownership so I'm watching for issues others have noted after one year. Image quality/color are excellent. But the multi-function button that includes power is funky. If you don't get it into power-down mode before you shut down you have wait for it to come back illuminated to power it down. Powering up from sleep is weird, but different. Just a design flaw in the UI.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ultrawide 34” had well documented flickering issues, none of which were able to be solved due to non-existent firmware updates. My original monitor also came with a pixel smudge/dead pixels. Thankfully, Samsung’s warranty process worked fairly seamlessly and they were able to replace the screen/monitor under warranty. The replacement monitor was perfectly fine, no dead pixels and no flickering. The older monitor and new one did have two different sized/wattage power bricks, a bit odd considering they were the same model. I love Samsung products so this doesn’t deter me from purchasing more TV’s and monitors from them in the future. But I’m certainly opting for OLED, even a smaller one if I want a monitor that isn’t ultrawide. Hope they come out with a 4K/5K ultrawide in the future, paying so much for an ultrawide 1440p just isn’t worth it these days, I’d rather get the 40” 4K IPS from LG for the same price range.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This for me has been the best of the best. Immersive experiences because of the curved screen along with range of view improvements with reduced glare from the curved surface. Refresh rate appears deceptively slow as it is rated at 60hz but is never outpaced by even the most challenging of games or programs.
This was a "splurge purchase" and one I do not regret!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitor mostly for work, but also for gaming, and it works great for both. I never feel like I need more performance from it. However, I wish there was an easier way to switch between inputs as my work pc and gaming pc are connected differently. I use the button anytime I switch between them and that's fine. But I feel it could be a little more seamlessm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this as my main monitor, and holy heck is this thing pretty. Can crank the brightness down and still keep the color quality or turn it wayyyyy up and singe your eyeballs if you really wanted to. Lightweight so most non-garbage monitor arms work well with it, easy to set up, looks stunning, and the PERFECT curve. It's wowed everyone that's seen it. 10/10.

It is a nice monitor, but has an engineering defect. After about 7 month of usage the screen is getting of the frame. This is a commune issue and the customer support is dogging the fact that Samsung has a manufacture defect. You can search online and see that there are thousands of customers with exact same issue in exact same spot.
Don't buy it.

Screen is great, but the monitor stand is plasticy and has no height adjustment. Unless you like tilting your monitor up to face you, or you're a hunchback, I'd steer clear. Because of the non-standard fitting on the back of the monitor it's also hard to find a compatible 3rd party stand. Not the quality of design I'm used to from Samsung... :(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor with my Apple Mini and it hasn't been an easy setup. This monitor was recommended by a sales associate who uses one with his Mini. I'm not savvy enough to get this set up properly to take advantage of what it's meant to do. While the picture is beautiful for basic computer operations I probably bit off more than I needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the monitor for work and gaming. The work experience doesn't require a lot of frames, so it's okay, but the screen size makes it easier to read.
For gaming, it creates an immersive experience because of curved screen. Colors are sharp, accurate.
Only issue I have is that screen doesn't rotate, and screen height cannot be adjusted.

i purchased two of these and received them in excellent condition. however, after only a couple weeks the joystick on one of them stopped responding to 'up' which is necessary to access the menu.
clearly there is something wrong with this component if it breaks after such minimal use, i probably navigated the menu only 4-5 times total.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor for my son because he loves to play fortnite Minecraft roblox and so many others. It has very clear picture and the colors for the games are more then amazing I plan on upgrading him to a larger screen from samsung in a year or so I can't wait to see what other great products they come up with for my gamer son.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the g5 for a little over 2 years now, and I really do like it. It'd become my primary moniter, I love the curved screen and the refresh rate on it. The only issue I have is that the thing is heavy, so I really have to crank my desk mounted monitor mount to get it to stay in place, but besides that this is a great monitor!

Garbage.
As the other users have mentioned this monitor is just crap.
Silly me bought a second one because the last one developed a green hue and was out of warranty.
This time, the unit is IN Warranty and is flickering/glitching.
No amount of trouble shooting has fixed it.
DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY OR TIME WITH THIS MONITOR.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The computer monitor is very nice! I use it for gaming with my ps5. It has great graphics. The curve is perfect for more of a 3d look to the screen while gaming. It gives you the different options of screen size which is also nice. The only thing I'm not a fan of is no speakers on this monitor. But great purchase overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoy using this monitor as my secondary monitor for productivity and Twitch stream watching my only problem is I enabled input auto-switching in settings to use between 2 different computers and it doesn't detect the second pc so I have to swap inputs manually not a huge deal other then that it's a great monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a nutshell, the G5 is a work beast, 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor that delivers clear pictures and no lag. While it has a few drawbacks with the remote and system settings, overall, it's a great choice for gamers who prioritize clear pictures, fast refresh rates, smooth gameplay. My next purchase will be the 4k variant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these monitors to the point I actually bought a second one. The picture is crisp, HDR is amazing, & high-refresh for gaming has never looked better. Especially at the price point these are at.
It would be 5 stars, except vesa mounting them wasn't the easiest thing, but far from being hard as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a full time streamer and part time architect this monitor is awesome for keeping up with my activities in and in the architectural fields of design.
I love the monitor for its high frame rate and 1440p capability. I has made my streams so much better. If I had the option I would still be buying this one again.

I bought the 27" Odyssey G5 monitor (LC27G55TQWNXZA) back in November of 2020 and just decided to come back and leave a review. At this point, I've gamed on it for hundreds of hours and it's still going strong. At 144 hz the monitor still looks great No dead pixels or issues of any sort. 100% recommend this product.
I recommended this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I adore this monitor and get genuinely happy every time I see it. Like a your favorite grandparent, you can't help but smile as you stare at the display. 165hz, and beautifully color accurate. I get lost in the inky blacks, and vibrant colors. This models true power shines brightest when paired with a powerful gpu.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use this for gaming and it exceeds expectations without question. No loss or lag or color distortion. It's shown me how bad my last monitor was at representing sooo many different colors. Never had a single issue and would recommend to anyone. Picture quality is absolutely stunning and glares aren't even a worry.

Got my G5 this past July after a month of searching for the perfect new monitor at the right price. I am not a game but love the fact I can have two documents open at the same time or watch Youtube while working at the same time. The picture and curved screen are out of this world especially for the low price.

the monitor only lasted a month before it died on itself randomly one morning.
even before then if i let the monitor sleep for a minute, i return to it having half of the screen blacked out.
even before then the monitor itself is average.
the resolution and picture quality is fine but the smearing is god awful.

I bought this monitor (LC34G55TWWNXZA) about a week ago and for some reason, almost all of the functions are greyed out saying that this function isn’t available, I also only have the options 60hz and 100hz. PLEASE HELP, I have tried everything from watching tutorials to resetting it and nothing seems to work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitor for gaming, and so far I've had a great time using it. It's wide enough to comfortably have two windows open and readable, but not so wide that it's uncomfortable to use. The resolution of the monitor is great. I haven't had any issues with this monitor, and for the price, it's a great option.

Fantastic monitor! I don't claim to be an expert, but I know what looks good, and this is miles ahead of my 1080p, 60Hz monitor. I've had this for about a year or so, and it's held up great (though I don't move it around at all). Some people have complained about dead pixels, but I haven't found any on mine.
I recommended this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Odyssey G5 for school where I'm working to get my bachelor's in game design. I got the best performance along with smoothness of running games in this pc. Software are working perfectly. I think this is the best gaming pc in this price range. Slightly disappointed of display and usb ports as well.
