Customer Ratings & Reviews

So after having and testing this monitor for a week, I can say I'm mostly pleased with it at this cost level. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had smart functions built in to make watching streaming services easy and integrated. It also comes with a nice little rechargeable remote that connects via USBC. It actually feels decently made. You also have some buttons on the center underside of the frame of the monitor to help with control. The overall putting it together process was very simply and intuitive, took less than 5min. This does have a rather large power supply that runs a bit hot, just to be noted. As for picture quality, this is a QHD/2k monitor that supports G and Freesync with up to 240Hz. I was able to run Apex and Fortnite on max settings with my rig and achieve stable visuals at hfr. The actual picture is fairly decent. It does have HDR support, albeit at a basic level that doesn't really give you the pop you find on higher level iterations, but it's still noticeable. I also enjoy the curved screen for immersion. The area if lacks and loses a star is the black level. Which is ironic being that it's listed as a VA panel, which should have superb blacks and contrast. It's not terrible, I just noticed some backlight bleed and flashlighting on dark scenes. This is something that is likely to vary from device to device. I also appreciate the built in speakers. They're not the best, lacking any real low end, but are perfectly acceptable for watching a show or streaming videos if you don't want to wear your headset and don't have an external system. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the almighty RGB lighting as well. It is subtle, yet present. Only showing on the lower speaker portion of the monitor casing, as well as the central connection of the stand to the monitor on the back. Of which it has this semi translucent plastic cog design that helps diffuse the lighting. Overall, this is a great monitor with a lot of features at a decent price point. It's only shortcomings are in the HDR and somewhat inconsistent black levels, but that's to be expected, as this isn't an OLED. It's base is also rather large and obtuse. Response time is excellent, as well as it meeting it's other specified specs.

Good product can use as streaming device or monitor with Wi-Fi. Just make sure your pc can handle the resolution but good frames on low end pc

Great monitor. Like yhe resolution and sizing of it and its abiltiy to be adjusted.

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

Great quality at 1440p. Excellent blacks, crisp lines, I love it so far.

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
