Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Odyssey G5 monitor's picture quality, refresh rate, and curved screen, with many praising its immersive viewing experience and value for the price. However, customers are negative about the stand's limited adjustability and somewhat underwhelming brightness, particularly in brightly lit rooms. Some users also noted issues with ghosting and the lack of built-in speakers. Overall, the monitor receives high praise for its visual performance but some design elements need improvement.

    I want to give this monitor 5 stars but there are some issues with it. First I am having issues upgrading the firmware via the USB port. I tried several different usb sticks but nothing worked. It might be a faulty USB port and I found out about it when I can no longer return it. Second I feel like the picture quality is not the best but I do know if I want the best picture quality I have to pay several hundreds more and get the G7. Third I hate the fake speaker look towards the bottom. Yes I get it, it's a "Gaming" monitor but they serve no purpose and they don't look good. You can live with it. The positives: Price is very good for 32 inches with 144hz! 144hz is a game changer! Even just with regular computer use. I can't seem to go back to 60hz. No dead pixels or dirty screen on my unit. Everything seems to be tip top (Apart from the allegedly faulty usb port). I recommend this if you are looking for a $3-400 32inch 144hz gaming monitor.

    I mean I don’t have any complaints. I was skeptical about purchasing it because of the reviews about the screen not being bright enough, but this screen is brighter than my AOC curved 1080p 144hz monitor, so this monitor is great for me. The picture is crystal clear and took a while to get used to the extra 8 inches of screen size over my 24”, but I’ve established that I can use both monitors, one for FPS/comp and this odyssey for casual, more textured and beautiful games like WoW or Valhalla or just RPGs in general. The stock stand is definitely short though. Get a vesa desk or wall mount for sure.

    Got This New. Sad To Have Dead Pixel On Top Right. Not Worth The Hassle Of Replacement Or Return. My First Curved Monitor. I Do Want To Note That As A Curved Monitor I Find That It Looks Strange When Strafing In Games. This Is Inherent In Curved Monitors. Do Make Sure That Your Monitor Is Of Quality You Deem Fit. There May Be Dead Pixels In A Worse Place Than Mine.

    I have tried to write a review twice, but sadly the review keeps on crashing so here it is. Bang for your buck, awesome monitor on PS5. It is almost as if they were meant for each other. The images sometimes look photorealistic, which is lovely for the eye. Really recommend this product.

    For the price I think this is a really great monitor. Works with g-sync on my nvidia rtx2060 with no issues, I am very happy with my purchase. The curve is great, I didn't even really have to get used to it like I expected. Ghosting is minor in my opinion. It is there under very fast moving things on the screen but honestly without spending double it's price I don't think you can do better. 2k resolution, 144hz, gsync compatible, curved.......I think this monitor is great! I mounted mine on an arm so I can't comment on the included stand

    Best 32" Gaming/WFH Monitor for Your Money $$$$$$

    Very good monitor for working from home/gaming! I purchased this monitor based on the recommendations of the Best Buy Geek squad. I originally was going to purchase a Dell but was told to hold out and wait for the Samsung G5 to pop up first. I'm glad I waited as this monitor is amazing and is very sharp. I wasn't 100% sure about the curve monitor but can't see myself ever going back ever again to a flat screen. Size is also perfect, I wouldn't recommend anything smaller or bigger for either gaming/WFH. I would have given this 5 stars, however, the only issues so far is the screen will randomly disconnect for a split second as I'm working but will pop back on; I believe this is a power related issue so I'm not sure if this is happening to anyone else... I tried disconnecting the cables and reattaching them but doesn't seem to do anything; Also, the stand is awkward and should be redone to take up less space; and last they should have included some kind of speakers. In summary, great screen for working and gaming!

    Really good picture quality and pretty decent value for a 32” 1440p 144Hz monitor but the stand is a complete piece of crap. The stand it so cheap there is no height adjustment and there are only two tilt options; slightly forward and all the way back. Most monitors in this price range come with full adjustability for comfort and this would be a 5 star monitor if it came with the stand the G7 had. It’s bad enough that I am considering returning.

    Pros: Good value for the cost. Color and HDR look good. Decent visual acuity. Decent performance. Cons: Small black band surrounds most of the screen at the bezel. Refresh rate is good but could be higher. Desk footprint is large. If the depth of your desk is 36" or less, you can be starved for space because of the curve of the panel. The stand is also quite large and angled toward the rear. It won't go too far back against a wall, and it may fall off the edge of the desk if pushed too far back. I recommend it but just be aware you aren't purchasing a top-of-the-line monitor here.

    After playing on this for about a month I feel like I can give a meaningful review. Honestly love this monitor. Picture quality is great, refresh rate is insanely good compared to my previous monitor. It is a behemoth though, takes up a lot of desk space so if you don’t have a lot of space I’d go for the 27 inch. Makes gaming easy though since I can see everything on the screen very clearly and largely. I highly recommend and have had no issues.

    Great monitor that is super clear. This was used to replace old Dell 24" monitors as well as a Sceptre 32" monitor. It's cleaner in the picture and colors than both monitors. I'm getting ready to pick up a 2nd one. For the price point it's really nice, it well outpaces the cheaper variants that are available from their competitors, and a good solution in comparison to the large price wall of the G7 that is it's sister model.

    Purchased for my new life working from home. I've had two monitors at work for years, but shortly before I switched to remote work I was in a conference room with a large curved monitor and I HAD TO HAVE ONE. It is so much better not to have the split down the middle. I wish this monitor was wider and shorter, but I still love it and have had no issues in the past month using it. For the price, it is as close as I was getting to what I wanted.

    I was surprised at the quality of this monitor. It is bright and the colors are vibrant. I haven't tested the 144hz or anything else because I'm in the middle of building a new PC which is why I bought it. The size is perfectly big and the curvature is very immersive. For me, curved monitors are a must because it is immersive and it makes you feel like you are in a cubby hole just you and your computer.
