Samsung Odyssey G5 LC34G55TWWRXXU 34" 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor - 165Hz, 1ms, 1440p WQHD, Freesync Premium, HDR10, HDMI, Displayport

This monitor replaced a failed project of two (cheapish) screens. The line created by the bezels of the two screens was a game breaker for me and the picture was a little grainy, probably because the resolution was 'stretched' to cover both screens. I sent them back, and bought this Samsung. The image quality is fantastic and the 1000 curve helps to create an amazingly involved sensation. I played 'X4' (a space opera) in a darkened room, headphones on and it genuinely changed the entire atmosphere in the game ( I should add that my desktop PC is a liquid cooled Core I9, all SSD, with a GeForce RTX 4070 Super O.C graphics card, which I put together myself). The picture is pin sharp, no ghosting with great colours, and even the stand didn't take up much desk space. The monitor settings are accessed through a handy little toggle switch to the center of the screen, underneath, which is also the on/off switch and lights up blue when on. Wall mounting is also easy. Easily the best monitor that I have ever been lucky enough to own. Recommended.

I bought two of these. They are nice.

Good. Picture out of box is incredible. Best I've never had on a pc. Do alot of video editing in Adobe premiere. This has allowed my to have more content on screen and really speeds up the editing process by at least 50% even on a gddr5 GC with only 8gb it runs so sweet. No dead pixels picture is perfect in every way for me, and the reduce strain on eye function was a blessing as mostly use it in evenning Not tried gaming yet as only bought for editting Using the menu was easy, overal use of the navigation stick was like scroll and click like an R3 on PS Pad. But does feel cheap and blocky, clunky but does the job. Bad Stand is crap and cheap with no adjustment however cable tidy on back in is a nice touch Audio: none, just a headphone jack. Just feel angry at this one it obviously has a type of soundcard or it wouldn't have a headphone jack, so feel a bit robbed Screen besel No gap at bottom, 10mm left-top-bottom Thought was an issue at first then realised it standard Amazing monitor will stick wit the odyssey

Some advice: get a monitor arm as the supplied stand that comes with the monitor is very short and has little to no adjustability - leaving the large monitor only couple of inches above the desk, for such a large monitor will not leave much room for anything else. The only thing I didn't really like is the fiddly button used for settings, it is easy to click the wrong thing, and the dynamic contrast picture settings is just plain annoying as it kept dimming the screen during transitions, I use cinema mode and HDR so the display is perfect without it. I use it with a mini PC, which is perfectly capable of displaying the 3440x1440 resolution, with 125% scale as i am old and can't see text as small as it is natively.

Bought in November 2022, lasted until May 2025. Pretty poor performance for such a hefty price tag when bought. Guess what, won't bother with Samsung monitors again. And yes this is a genuine review. Went Chinese and bought a Z-Edge this time.
