Killer Monitor
I use this as my main monitor, and holy heck is this thing pretty. Can crank the brightness down and still keep the color quality or turn it wayyyyy up and singe your eyeballs if you really wanted to. Lightweight so most non-garbage monitor arms work well with it, easy to set up, looks stunning, and the PERFECT curve. It's wowed everyone that's seen it. 10/10.

    Very unpleasant experience
    The monitor was purchased with a warranty. After 3 months of use, a red pixel appeared in the center of the screen, which is really visible. I sent it for warranty repair. The monitor was picked up by a courier, after 5 working days it was returned with the same defect. Conclusion A defective subpixel is not considered a defect, as it is within the manufacturer's specified tolerances and is not considered a defect.

    Bought one of these, liked it enough, and then bought another. I also bought two for my partner as he was due for a monitor upgrade. There's quite a lot of ghosting and noticeable motion blur, but it is to be expected for this price. It's advertised as tiltable, but it is not. Something to keep in mind. What a mistake! One monitor started showing issues with the panel after less than one year, give or take. Dark spots, brightness flickering and such... so I sent it in for repairs and it was handled wonderfully. However, as my first monitor was at the techs, the other one started showing the exact same issues. Now the repaired monitor is flickering and showing black spots again. I've registered both for repairs now... I bought a new monitor in the meantime, of a different brand, to make sure the issue isn't on my side, and so far it's working wonderfully. It is more expensive though, but honestly, you get what you pay for. I'm considering buying another and keeping the Samsungs as emergency backups as they will undoubtedly break down again. I want to love this monitor but it just... kind of breaks down after a while. Probably some manufacturing issue? Can't say I recommend it.

    Product great for work and gam
    Having three of the 27” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitors on a 3 monitor stand, the experience is truly immersive. For gaming, the 144 Hz, Freesync experience is second to none when paired with my mainstream AMD gaming computer. One wish, however, is having the monitor become undetected on the one input when set to the other. For example, when one monitor's set to HDMI for my work computer and two others are set to my gaming computer over DisplayPort, Windows on my gaming computer still detects three usable monitors. All in all, I enjoy my 27” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitors.

    Samsung Odyssey G5 screen getting off the frame
    It is a nice monitor, but has an engineering defect. After about 7 month of usage the screen is getting of the frame. This is a commune issue and the customer support is dogging the fact that Samsung has a manufacture defect. You can search online and see that there are thousands of customers with exact same issue in exact same spot. Don't buy it.

    Good enough!
    I'm going to be honest and straight to the point. If you are into quality of the graphics. This is the one for you! If you are into competitive gaming. Go get a 244hz monitor instead. Otherwise the quality of graphics are awesome. Love it! Easy to install and use.

    Awesome 2K gaming experience
    I absolutely like and recommend this monitor, this was my jump from 720p and 1080p screens into 1440p. Suddenly everything looked so manageable because of the different resolution. My eyes dont get as tired while using this monitor because of curvature it has, which was a strong point for me to buy it since i happen to be a lot of time of front of screens. Im a gamer and the colors in this monitor are so vibrant and the refresh rate its so high its perfect. I notice no lagg at all in fast paced moments at games like WoW, LoL and some others. I dont like it only having 1 display port and 1 hdmi port but for me it has not been a problem at all since i only use 1 screen for my current set up. 3 of 4 edges are pretty small and it really gives the borderless sensation. Settings are customizable for many likings, and they can give you serious differences on screen as when you move the sliders for black equalizer, temperature of color, etc. For mid range price point and 1440p gaming Hz low ms response, this is a safe enjoyable option to go for.

    Best gaming monitor ever
    This gaming monitor is so smooth whether I am playing call of duty or a slow paced single player game. I love the ultra wide and seeing a little bit more than my opponents!

    Good hardware with bad software
    i have sensitive eyes and have been using the product for two months. - eye saver mode doesn't work. it's very annoying as they don't have levels - i can't dim the light enough. brightness=0, still too bright even when contrast=0 - on my other brand monitor, the blue light filter can be adjusted gradually. and when i change the brightness setting i can get a really dark image. - the black level setting in the menu cannot be activated. - i should be able to adjust brightness and contrast when dynamic contrast is selected firmware is up to date 1.006 please help

    A bit disappointed
    i just got my new odyssey g5 monitor today and was a bit let down. 2 years ago i had bought a 32 inch cjg56 and i'm still using today with no problems and i absolutely love that monitor. when i finally plugged my odyssey g5 i was really let down, the color is super dull even after messing with color settings and color calibration, the monitor is not bright at all. the other thing is the curve, their is so much curve that it makes the monitor look smaller, my cjg56 had the perfect amount of curve. i would buy 2 more cjg56 monitors but sadly you guys don't sell them anymore. the only nice thing i can say about this monitor is the 1 ms response time, although i can't notice a difference between 4 and 1 it is nice.

    Great monitor, iffy stand
    i've only owned the g5 for a few days, and the monitor itself has been a fantastic experience. my only concern is the plastic stand it comes with feels flimsy and is not adjustable so the monitor ends up being aimed at my chest instead of my face, especially since the stand dips slightly from the weight of the monitor. i'm not too worried that the stand will not hold up, it's just disappointing that this is the worst stand i've gotten from the 6 samsung screens i've purchased in the past decade, of which i still use 5.

    Simply Amazing
    after months of research into monitors i decided to hold out until the release of the g5 and couldn't be happier. mostly used for gaming on a pc with ryzen 5 3600 and rtx2060 super, the picture quality is perfect, the 144 hz panel is noticeably better than my old 75 hz display. in fast paced games its so smooth i can honestly say its made games more enjoyable. i was nervous about the severity of the curve but again this was a pleasant surprise, not only does it allow it to fit better on my small desk, for a monitor of this size it really helps take in the whole screen.
