Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

I had a G7 before, and I don't see the difference other than that this one actually has speakers and its own operating system. Will definitely recommend

This is the next step for gaming monitors with smart features wifi bluetooth and speakers built in. This is basicly the g7 with smart features. A no brainer

Literally, crazy, monitor has usb hub built in, speakers built in
