Samsung's Odyssey G50D Gaming Monitor with QHD resolution features incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images. The fast IPS panel delivers clear, vibrant colors and a 178° viewing angle, while the 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time (GtG) eliminates lag and enables frames with minimal blur for ultra-smooth gaming action. VESA DisplayHDR 400 offers more clarity, providing dynamic contrast with deeper blacks and brighter whites. AMD FreeSync keeps the monitor and graphics card refresh rate in sync for a seamless experience. Features an ergonomic stand that makes it easy to swivel, tilt, and adjust the height of the monitor, plus Eye Saver mode, which enables more focused gaming with less eye strain, for total comfort even when playing for extended periods of time.
QHD Resolution & Fast IPS Panel
For a gaming world more lifelike than you could ever imagine, QHD resolution packs in 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD and boasts detailed, pin-sharp images.
Fast IPS panel delivers clear colors and a wide 178° viewing angle for clarity from any viewpoint. With more pixels and greater depth, games feel closer to reality than ever before.
180Hz Refresh Rate & 1ms Response Time (GtG)
Speed through scenes. 180Hz refresh rate eliminates lag for exhilarating gameplay with ultrasmooth action. A 1ms¹ response time (GtG) enables frames with minimal blur, allowing you to jump on enemies the second you see them
VESA DisplayHDR 400
Reveal the whole picture. VESA DisplayHDR 400 delivers more contrast, with deeper blacks and brighter whites, to help you uncover hidden enemies lurking in the shadows. Even in dark scenes, every detail shines with clarity.
AMD FreeSync
You'll never miss a step with this superfluid entertainment experience. AMD Radeon FreeSync keeps your monitor and graphics card refresh rate in sync to reduce image tearing. Watch movies and play games without interruptions. Even fast scenes look seamless and smooth.
Ergonomic Stand
Reach new heights as you keep on winning with a monitor that swivels, tilts, and adjusts until all your enemies are in perfect view. Achieve total gaming comfort with a display that can be freely moved to accommodate the way you play
Eye Saver Mode & Less Screen Flickering
Play for even longer. Eye Saver Mode minimizes blue light to help keep your eyes relaxed and comfortable when gaming for extended periods.
The Odyssey G5 reduces irritating, tiring screen flicker, resulting in less distraction and eye strain, which enables you to stay focused for longer stretches at a time.
¹ 1ms" means one millisecond, which is the range of avg. response time between 1.00ms to 1.99ms truncated to whole number. Based on GtG measured under internal test conditions. Results may vary by content and monitor settings (requires ‘Extreme mode' setting).
GtG (Gray to Gray) measures the time taken for a monitor pixel to change from one gray value to another.

Q: QuestionCan I play ps5 by using it ?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes you would be able to play your ps5. I have had mine running off of it and the grapics are awesome and for the price of the monitor isnt overpriced. There is a HDMI port on it so no issue with having display show up. One downside there is that there isnt no integrated speakers on it so will have to use headphones or hook a speaker set up to it in order to hear what your playingAnswered by EthanG
Q: QuestionHow is everyone doing with the eye fatigue with this particular monitor?(1 answer)
A: AnswerAny sort of monitor can cause eye fatigue. If I were you, I would buy some blue light filtering glasses as blue light is the main cause. If you have prescription glasses, some companies offer a blue light filter included within the lens.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionAm I able to take off the little samsung bracket in the bottom middle of the monitor?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYes it is mountableAnswered by Anonymous
- A: AnswerIt Depends. Be aware this monitor comes in two model variations... the G50C and the G50D (C vs D). While the G50C will only reach 1440p 165hz... YES... the G50D "will" actually reach 1440p 180hz. (see pics) The menu / display photo was taken of my G50D purchased at BB Dec 2024 and connected to PC via DisplayPort.

Dead Pixels after 35 days.
After slightly over 30 days (just outside the return period to Best Buy) this monitor showed a black horizontal line across the screen and a perpendicular blue vertical line from top to bottom. I have coordinated with Samsung to RMA this product or repair it, but it was unfortunate that such an expensive monitor could go bad so quickly. Samsung hasn't been the easiest to work with, but it seems like my monitor is being repaired. This is not a fault of Best Buy, but buyer beware, dead pixels happened very quickly!

27 inch
Overall pretty good monitor for the price, the movement of the screen is really nice and the quality is good! Would definitely recommend the 27 inch as the 32 is basically a tv lol
