Good well rounded monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall quality is very good the smart hub interface is very smooth and works well like a high-end tv. It is also comes with a nice game hub that is very convenient. It is very easy out of the box to setup it is quite intuitive. The height adjustment is very smooth very seemless, the tilt is just as good, and the portrait mode rotation is quite convenient if you are using it as a side monitor, but it still works very well as a main monitor. The settings for the monitor and pretty customizable as well. The monitor comes with speakers that are surprisingly good and well rounded with good highs and lows, but if a speaker is available I would recommend for a even better experience. In terms of display it is one of the better ones with good dark and light areas and good definition, and expected from a gaming monitor of this range it has good refeesh rates. Although kind of a superfical feature the LEDS are very good and are customizable so they can match the screen making it very immersive. Overall a good monitor and would recommend for a well rounded experience.

Good Initial Entry into Curved Gaming Monitors
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung G6 is a great gaming monitor, and an excellent choice for FPS fans or shooters in general for its high refresh rates, quick response that mostly addresses ghosting, and great colors for a VA panel. This is my first Curved VA monitor; I’ve mostly used ISP or TN flat panels as my main use is Shooters or spreadsheets. Pro: - Tons of features including 240hz refresh rate, fast & extreme response times, 2K resolution, AMD FreeSync that works with the G-Sync Compatible feature. And many more. - Colors were amazing for a VA panel, coming from an ISP and TN panel setup, this was a good balance between. - The remote. Seriously, this is great feature I wish more monitors had. Cons: - The menus are a bit finicky at times, often skipping two options with a single click. - The local dimming is sub part at best, better left off. - The Curve on this size of a monitor doesn’t make as big of a difference as it would on a larger monitor or wider format. My Experience - I’ve used the Samsung G6 as my main monitor for a little over a week now and have adjusted well to the curve. Honestly, it’s not as big of an impact as I thought it would be for good or bad. When gaming it does make seeing the full screen a bit easier but with this being a 27in monitor the effects of the curve are not as impactful as when using a wider format screen. The setup was super easy, this thing literally plays music for you while it guides you through the setup process. There is an option to setup via smart phone or remote, I did both through a reset, but both are very streamlined and easy to follow, taking only 10-15mins. The monitor performed amazing while playing Destiny 2 and Fortnite. 240hz frame rate helped keep the game feeling smooth, and setting the response time to Fast really reduced the VA panel ghosting. I would warn that setting the response time to Extreme would result in overshoot, where the image gets too bright or odd color corrections would occur in some cases. I ended up stepping back down to Fast from Extreme as I was getting a headache due to the high contrast. This monitor has local dimming, but for how it performs it is better to just keep it off. The monitor is backlite from the edge, so all local dimming does is cause horribly backlight flickering while playing most games. It’s a feature better left off. To be fair, few monitors in this range and spec do any better so not holding this against the monitor. Conclusion - This is a great monitor to choose as a first try in curved monitor game, but I would suggest getting one of the larger sizes or wider formats if you have the extra budget to fully appreciate the curved monitor experience. Beyond the size, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a curved monitor for gaming as it has the right specs and solves the ghosting issues of traditional VA panels while looking amazing.

Good for Gamers!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bottom Line: The Samsung Odyssey G6’s curved screen creates an immersive gaming or movie watching experience. Pros: immersive curved screen; 1440p with high refresh rate; great contrast; useful remote control. Cons: light bloom on edges; smart hub might not be for everyone; limited swivel; curved screen not good for productivity. Review: This is my first curved screen monitor, and the curve does create an immersive gaming and viewing experience, especially in games where enemies may sneak up on you from the sides (for example, Resident Evil 3). The 1440p resolution and high refresh rate make this monitor a good choice for gamers who want to step up from 1080p, and the DisplayHDR 600 picture offers very good contrast between bright and dark areas. I’ve been playing Dark Souls a lot lately, and the bonfire looks much brighter than it did on my HDR400 display. Additionally, there was sharp contrast of details on some enemies hiding in the shadows that really stood out. The speakers produce good sound which is on par with what you would expect from a TV this size. For discerning players, the monitor also has an HDMI ARC port and headphone jack. I also like that there is a remote control, which allows one to access the settings without fiddling with the buttons you can’t see under the monitor. The screen isn’t perfect, however, and, as is often the case with edge-lit screens, there is noticeable bloom along the edges. It’s most apparent if the image on the edge is black and you’re viewing the screen in the dark. For me, the Smart Hub (essentially Smart TV-like software) that controls the monitor is a mixed bag. On one hand, it’s convenient to have media apps built-in so one can essentially use the monitor like a TV for media consumption. On the other, like a Smart TV, the monitor treats connected devices like apps inside the hub. The monitor attempts to auto recognize devices, but I find it faster and easier just to navigate to the connected port manually with the remote. Hence, the need to go through the hub could be frustrating for some who just want a simple plug-and-play experience. Last, I find that the monitor does not work well for productivity. The swivel (left and right) is pretty limited, and so it doesn’t work well as a second screen when connected to a laptop because I can’t turn the screen to face me as much as I need it to. Additionally, while the screen is really immersive for content consumption, the curve makes using productivity software and multiple apps awkward.

Excellent quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor exceeded my expectations. Super smooth refresh, hdr and contrast are phenomenal. Not a big fan of the fact that it's a SMART device. Considering it's a monitor attached to a computer, there is absolutely no consumer need or reason for SMART technology, but maybe that's just my opinion. Still an amazing monitor.

240 fps for the win
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall pretty good monitor. Bought this cuz of price compared to other monitors in the same categories + features. Personally don’t use the remote very much or watch tv on it. I’m a gamer. And having the ability to play at 240 fps is awesome. (If you don’t have a monitor with the correct hz panel then no matter how strong your pc is you will be stuck at monitor standard) 240 fps in competitive shooters like csgo/valorant/call of duty is like a completely different game.

Good, but issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor could be so good if there weren't a few annoying issues that I've dealt with. I read all the horror stories about the old G7 and wanted to give this a chance. Really want to like and recommend it, but I can't. Pros - 240Hz is so nice coming from a 100Hz Ultrawide - Good colors and contrast - Easy setup with the included stand or with a monitor arm Cons - Scanlines are still an issue. Not as bad as the older G7 but on certain blue and green shades you can notice it. New Fortnite update it is VERY noticeable. Can see it on the BestBuy homepage. -Backlight bleed is not great. Even directly head on you can see the top and bottom of the screen is more gray on a dark page or screen. - Smart TV UI is just not my thing. Can be really slow and unresponsive at times. I'd rather use my Roku. - Won't detect signal when turning on computer unless I let it boot to Windows login screen. Have to replug the DP cable to fix. - Won't detect signal if monitor goes to sleep. Have to replug the DP cable to fix. Power cycling monitor for this and above issue does not work for me. - Only happened two times but once when plugging my Nintendo Switch and tabbing back in the MW2 2022 the monitor would seem like it turns off and on every second. Replugging power cable was the only way to fix.

Combines deep blacks with fast response time
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung has packed this monitor with tons of smart display features, plenty of inputs, a versatile stand that allows 90 degrees of rotation, and, most importantly, a high quality panel which combines the deep blacks and high contrast VA panels are known for with excellent refresh rates. The gentle curve of the screen takes a bit of getting used to, especially for productivity tasks, but after adjusting I find it’s great to use for everything from high frame rate gaming to 4 hour work sessions. I’ve been using this for about an 80/20 mix of home office work and gaming and it has excelled at both. The display is sharp, contrast is superb (not as good as OLED but outstanding for LCD), color rendition reasonably accurate, and the 1440p resolution keeps things clean and easy to read, even for legacy Windows apps which don’t always scale well on 4K or other high density displays. In games, the fast response time, high refresh rate, and support for variable refresh rates make for a very smooth experience. I’ve tried high FPS shooters like Halo Infinite and slower paced games like Uncharted and all of them have rendered superbly without tearing or ghosting. HDR worked reasonably well for games which supported it. VA panels don’t usually switch as fast as some other technologies, but Samsung has done a great job overcoming this. The coating on the display also does a good job controlling reflections, providing the full benefit of those nice deep blacks. I have windows behind me when using my PC and the reflections are very manageable. The monitor is also a very capable smart display, with built-in apps for YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and others, along with excellent wireless screen mirroring and superb Samsung DEX support. There’s even a built-in option to stream Xbox cloud games and directly connect a gamepad. The remote is easy to use and the built-in apps work fine with snappy responses, but I’ve found I prefer to just play content from the connected computer. Connectivity is extensive, with 2 HDMI ports, DisplayPort, headphone audio out, and an actual Ethernet jack. USB ports are provided both for connecting devices like keyboards and gamepads, and for connecting to a PC to act as a USB hub. In my experience, the main negative of this display is that it exhibits some flicker at lower refresh rates. Setting the rate to 120Hz completely resolves the flicker and provides a smoother experience, but not all devices are capable of these high rates in all modes. Depending on view angle, the very bottom of the display (say the bottom 10% of the task bar) also sometimes isn’t as evenly backlit as the rest. The other minor negative is the external power brick, but that’s really just a one time issue during setup. Overall this display combines incredible versatility and app support with a very solid display panel. If you want/need these features, it’s a great option. If all you want is a high quality panel with support for fast refresh rates and VRR, this will fit the bill but the extra features may be overkill. Either way, you should be pleased with the visuals. Pros: - Excellent sharp VA panel combines deep blacks and fast 1ms response time - Super for gaming, very good for productivity if you don’t mind the curve - Excellent stand enables easy adjustment and rotation - Plenty of inputs and support for high end HDMI features like VRR - Broad support for apps and screen mirroring - Works as a USB hub - Good remote and responsive UI Cons: - Some flicker at lower refresh rates - Backlight very even except very bottom 1-2% of screen depending on view angle - Smart display features might be overkill for some

Worth the upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally upgraded from 1080p and well worth it. Backlighting is perfect for my room and refresh rate is noticeable on AAA titles. The curve is just right from my setup distance but is definitely for a desktop use. Setup is a bit annoying but once you’ve jumped through the hoops, it’s great monitor.

Ok Samsung, I’m sold….
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a casual console gamer who is new to PC gaming, I recently got my hands on the Samsung Odessey 27” G6 Smart Gaming Monitor, and I must say that so far I’m really liking this thing. Coming from a 65” LG CX in my living room, I really looked into this so I could have decent display to move the gaming to my man cave. I was initially skeptical about only going with a 27” LED monitor because outside of console gaming, I really like to watch movies in my man cave (meaning Picture Quality, screen size & black levels are paramount). However, picture and size concerns were put to rest once I ran the “Smart Calibration” feature with my Galaxy S23 Ultra and experienced just how immersive a curved monitor really is. I would recommend calibration and turning down the sharpness to zero be done immediately because the out of the box settings produce edge ringing and over saturation in the picture. This brings us to black levels. The G6 touts it’s local dimming and contrast enhancement features but there is still a noticeable grayish wash in the darker areas due to zone “blooming”. In terms of panel type, the Samsung Odyssey G6 is a VA LED panel, while the LG CX uses OLED technology. While OLED panels are hands down better in the black level department, the G6 still has amazing contrast due to its sheer nits brightness! I’m also finding that since games are almost always fullscreen, the benefit of the G6’s VA panel over my CX OLED is I get (and I stress to you) INCREDIBLE shadow detail! I played Gears5 on in 4K60 and 1440 @ 120hz on the SeriesX and it was truly a sight to see. I tried to do 4K@120 and it appears the monitor does not support HDMI 2.1. Overall, both panel types have their pros and cons and it really comes down to personal preference. That being said, as a casual gamer who primarily plays on consoles, the Odyssey G6's fast refresh rate of 240Hz and low input lag made a noticeable difference in my gaming experience. However, I would recommend connecting your controller directly to its source device as input lag increases significantly when the controller is connected to the Odyssey Monitor via bluetooth. The monitor's resolution of 1440p also struck a nice balance between fidelity and performance. The only drawback being the poor implementation of Game Mode Auto. The need to manually switch the console resolution & frame-rate in order to restore the monitor to “Movie (Calibrated)” is particularly frustrating. or In terms of design, the Samsung Odyssey G6 is sleek and modern, with thin bezels and a sturdy stand that make it easy to set up and adjust to the perfect viewing angle. “Core-Light” is an awesome dynamic LED feature located on the back of the monitor and on the speaker area. It can be set to either respond to the in-game action or be used as a customizable ambient mood light when streaming media of. I and make me want to The monitor's built-in cable management system also helped keep my desk clean and organized. Also, Tizen comes in at a close 2nd to Apple as THE best user interface. The landing pages for Gaming, Media, and layout is very clean, easy to navigate, and intuitive. Overall, I highly recommend the Samsung Odyssey G6 to any console gamer looking to make the switch to PC gaming. While it may not have the same screen size as my LG CX OLED, it more than makes up for it with its fast refresh rate, low input lag, and vivid colors. Whether you're playing on an Xbox Series X, Apple TV 4K, or NVidia 3070 graphics card, this monitor is a great choice for enhancing your gaming experience. 4.5/5

Most versatile montitor I have ever used!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung Odyssey G6 27” Curved QHD FreeSync Smart Monitor - Black is a beauty to behold. The sleek Elegance of the curved screen and the thick sturdy form gives confidence in the design principles while being functional at the same time. The curved screen idea really works and I can see that having two identical screens it would be very nice. At the moment I have one curved 27-inch and one flat 27-inch and even one curved screen really helps. It just seems like with two flat screens I am never able to get them at just the right angle. Moving on to the functional characteristics of theb Samsung Odyssey G6 27” monitor I will start off by saying this monitor has a really impressive built in menu. The Samsung smart monitor experience is unlike anything I have ever seen before. During set up you have the option of using the included remote or your smartphone. I chose to use the included remote and it works very well and is quite easy to use with a simple but effective layout. The Samsung smart menu is very thorough and covers everything from Gaming mode to movie mode. It is very detailed and has options that I never though would be included. I am very impressed with Samsungs comprehensive software and I believe they put a lot of effort into the Smart monitor software on the Odyssey G6 27”. Moving on to gaming with the Samsung Odyssey G6 27” smart monitor. I was very surprised and impressed with this monitors gaming capability. The Samsung Odyssey G6 is so smooth and games look very good on the 2560x1440 display along with the high refresh rate of 240Hz really makes a difference. It is hard to explain and I do not know that anyone would be able to understand the difference in performance unless they experienced it in person. I have never owned a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz so I did not know what to expect. I just knew right away that something was very different regarding gameplay than any other monitor I have used. It is a next level experience that I believe is a combination of the curved screen the high refresh rate and the 2k pixel density. I believe that the 2560x1440 is the ideal pixel density for a 27” gaming monitor. So much so at least for my preferences that I am not sure I would like a larger screen with the same pixel density. I like sharp and defined images especially when gaming. This monitor really brought gaming to a new level for me and I love the curved screen. If you are looking for a good gaming monitor that can also be a TV and serve as a normal computer monitor I do not think you will find a better option than the Samsung Odyssey G6 27” curved QHD Freesync Smart Monitor. This monitor does it all and more!
