Hi I know this is not related but I recently watched your dream pc build and I want to congratulate you because you built it and we can see that you are truly happy, cheers! I also love each video you make, the cinematic and the audio are well crafted - I can see the effort that comes in making these. Congratulations
I was going to get it from Prime Day as well but it was sold out by the second day! I was pretty sad to know that I missed out, but hey guess what other big retail stores are doing? Also having the sale to the same price. I placed an order and excited for this monitor too!
Nice design, love the curve. No adjustability in 2021 for a monitor is just weird tho. Would go straight on a vesa mount if I bought one. Excellent video fams.
You are so funny and I really enjoyed your content! Just as the other comments have mentioned, you’ve made me laugh lol And thank you sooo much for not talking about small matters like HDR, ghosting, etc that are not as important as YOUR experiences with the monitor. Other channels are lengthy and verbatim but I enjoyed every bytes of your review. Pressed that red sub :]
coming from 16:9 144-240hz panels I just purchased a MSI 343cqr and couldn't be happier. as you say the 1000r curve is surreal and makes it so appealing to watch content like movies in ultrawide. I think if you liked the Samsung monitor I would give MSI a call and see if you can get your hands on a 343 for review.
Thanks for the info and review, and for sending me over to HW unboxed.... even if I didn't really understand what most of the numbers he is talking about are. I guess it's a while on wince this was released, but here in Taiwan I am able to pick one of these up for about $370 USD. Around this price would this be an easy best buy? Or have some better monitors come out in the months / year since?
Hey mate, silly question, how LOUD is it? I want to use it in a recording studio that I occasionally game in in my spare time. Does it make any noise, you know, humming, whirring, fans or what not? Thanks in advance!
Another great video team, I'm using the iiyama g-master gb3466wqsu-b1 which is a fantastic monitor for its price, doesn't seem to be reviewed as much as other monitors for some reason, iiyama monitors were great years ago in the old CRT days then things went quiet with them. A few weeks after buying this monitor I actually won another in a competition, one very lucky son now has that in his bedroom.
Hello, in your opinion, the 27 inc version or the 32 version is better because from me I understand the pixel density is the same so I think it looks better in 27 inches
I am from the UK and with unidays as a student, this monitor comes to £386 ($546). I think at this price point it is a lot more worth it. This monitor is for my Pc build so I will be showing it on my channel once it arrives.
hello, very nice review! i m just asking myself if things like bleed motion blur and the dark pathing or how its called will be so noticable on a VA panel cause i m between this one which is for 400 euro and the LG 34WN80C-B which is 550 euro right now in Greece. I mean the 165 if u aint playing competitive gaming is not that important as i see it, u can be fine with 75hz monitor, idk thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
Hello, Gear Seeker! I'm trying to decide between this one and the Gygabyte G34WQC PLEASE HELP!! The deciding factor here would be down to the curvature for me! I would find a way around the shitty stand of the Odyssey, no problem there. The Gygabite sounds life a safer bet, but if the bigger curvature on the Odyssey improves the gaming experience then I'd go for it instead!! My priority is definitely the gaming experience. Could you please share your thoughts on the difference between the curvature? Is it outright better? Is it too much and unecessary? (If it helps my main focus here is FPS and SIM racing). Thank you!
im having the same issue deciding. for me it really comes down to do i want 1000r or 1500r curve. its either this one for 500$ or an LG at 650$ what did you end up with?
should i buy this 1 or the Huawei Mateview GT 34 inch 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor-165Hz Refresh rate, 3440x1440 VA Screen,HDR,HDMI,Display port,Black for gaming i cant pick
They're almost the same price where i am (Gigabyte 34 & this G6) with the Samsung actually being slightly cheaper. What do i go for?! So conflicted and need a replacement asap aha. The Xiomi 34 is actually cheaper than both but unsure as it's their first go at this. I'm pretty sure the panels are all the same though
Great video. As always. I have been looking at this panel and the gigabyte. I'm thinking the gigabyte would be the way to go, would you agree? This could make my decision for me. I've heard good things about the gigabyte g34wqc.
@@JoaoSousa-cb1sl no not yet I'm waiting on some cash coming through and to start a new job first before I buy. But I'm still thinking the gigabyte g34wqc. Seems such a good panel for the price. I would love the g7 of g9 but I'm struggling to justify the extra money for the g7 and the g9 is just crazy money. I've looked at the aorus 27-x (can't remember the full model number) but that's quite expensive too. And also I really fancy an ultra wide now. Currently have a 27 ips 165hz viewsonic from about 4 years ago and it's great but I scratched the screen when I moved house.
How can I connect a PS5 and get full 120hz ? Can I use a Display Port cable to HDMI ? The HDMI port on the monitor is already being used for my Macbook.
I got the MSI MAG321 cqr would u say this is better? I need to buy a monitor as I don't really like mine tbh lots of screen tearing even on WoW I mainly play world of war craft. But can't go below 32 " now let us know cheers man
Hello, in the minute 2:25 you say that there is no USB ports but I see that there is a USB SERVICE PORT, could you try charging your cellphone using this USB type A port and tell me if works? . What happend is that I wanna connect a USB Monitor Light Bar and I wanna know if this can work in this USB SERVICE PORT. Thank you!
I know this isn't a new video and you might not have the monitor anymore, I've just got one of these and just want to know what firmware version that monitor is on, because I really want to update it, I've seen people saying on forums that they're on version 1005.1 while I'm stuck on 1001.1 which I'm pretty sure is the oldest version
I can't understand why Samsung is lazy on getting GSYNC certs for their monitors and TV's. Here they have a monitor that supports it. Yet it's not listed as such and the majority of customers have an NVIDIA card, why leave that out, while the 27" and 32" G5 say on the box that they support GSYNC. Thanks for the video and honest opinion, now I know it works with GSYNC.
Why is this going for only 200 euro where I live… on paper it looks great should this not be more expensive? Why are other 34inch monitors with same specs around the 1200 euro mark?
Its a 3 year review but how did it hold up cuz i'm looking for a monitor cuz i purchased Asus 34 inch 1440p monitor and there is dust inside the panel while i asked amazon to send me a replacement they said no so i purchased second one and it was even worse with dust had to return it and now i have to return the first one and looking for something 1440p on a budget
It’s interesting because my gigabyte 34 inch is coming in tomorrow, how do you guys feel it compares to it? I also watched your video on it and hardware unboxed, I do agree, my mouse cable is not that long and I would like a monitor with USB ports *that I can afford* lol
I bought the Gigabyte 34" ultrawide back in December and absolutely love it. There is a bit of backlight bleed around the edges of black screens, but I otherwise haven't noticed it at all whilst gaming. I'm not a competitive gamer by any stretch, so take it with a grain of salt, but I've been playing Borderlands 3 and Outriders lately and the monitor seems to keep up pretty well during the most chaotic of gunfights with no noticable ghosting. Color accuracy isn't 100% perfect so it's not ideal for visual design work. If you're getting it as a primary gaming monitor, however, I'm pretty confident you're going to enjoy it. I know you asked for a comparison between the Samsung & Gigabyte, but I can't offer that - what I can tell you is I think you made a solid choice with the Gigabyte monitor, especially if you got it anywhere near MSRP. If the Samsung is technically better, I sincerely doubt it's $150-200US better. Just my opinion (the value of which is dubious at the best of times, heh). I sincerely hope you enjoy your new monitor and it arrives pixel-perfect.
@@ThrasherEscapes hey man thanks for the reply, yeah I’m just a casual gamer who wanted his first solid ultra wide to complete my set up. Been using a cheap sceptre tv as a monitor and as can be expected it’s not good, I’m primarily going to be using it for work but it sucks it can’t be integrated with the gigabyte software but I’m sure thanks to your review and everything I’ve seen it will be amazing, mine was 489 after tax I heard it used to go for 400 6-7 months ago but clearly not the case anymore lol but thanks for your response man
This ultrawide is my first higher-than-60hz display after using a 720p TV with multiple dead/stuck pixels as my main for the past ten years, so I understand the struggle and I'm legit excited for you right now!
@@ThrasherEscapes What if they're the same price? Where I live that's the case and I'm trying to decide bewteen the two! Is the extra curvature on the Samsung flat out better for gaming or?...
I know this video is old but should i buy it I don’t live in the us so there is not so much options for ultra wide should i get it hdr isn’t really that important also i heard there is ghosting
Got it at $400 in VN just after the Mega Sale. At the moment it's the cheapest ultrawide 34 inch I can get in VN. The others available like Xiaomi 34, Giga G34 is always above $470 and no stock available. At first I was keen on the Xiaomi but has to drop it due to no stock, high price without warranty (ship from China). Really really looking to have this G5 on hand by early Dec.
Why have they used this monitor stand especially considering it's price point I think if they went with something like the stand in AOC g24g2 it will be much better.
I ordered one for 260. Best Buy open box. But I did not know it was a VA panel when I ordered it. I’m used to ips. I had an old VA panel and hated the ghosting it had.
im a graphic designer and i do game a lot , im moving house and looking to buy a new monitor, should i go for this or does anyone recommend something better at this price?
I'm getting this, i got a curved samsung c32f391fwu it seems just as "unstable" or "flimsy" as the G5 but i never have problem with that stuff. Except one time my AOC went to the grave after me rage quitting a game. xD
In my place, this monitor costs less than the gigabyte, not buy much tho. I ended up adding this to my cart instead of the gigabyte. Plus, am planning on vesa mounting it. What do you think Nick? 🌚
I just cancelled my online order of this monitor it like $481 with tax. watched a few videos of this monitor all not so good I pay a little more get something better. thanks for video
I have the Odyssey g7 27" monitor and I've had quite a few issues with it. Which is annoying because the display itself is very good. Hopefully Samsung improved the quality with this one.
@@coffeeaddictgaming2883 it's worth noting I got it when the monitor when it first released back in July or August 2020. Still haven't figured out how to update the software I should probably do that. An issue that arose pretty quickly was the screen going completely black, the only way to restore the image was to power cycle the monitor. I had a very similar issue not long later emerge where the display would flicker off and on rather fast, there are probably videos of it on UA-cam. I noticed the black screen would happen only after the monitor had been on for a while so I think it was something to do with overheating. As for the rapid black screen flickering I realised that was triggered particularly when looking at noisy green pixels such as the grass in Minecraft. I actually have a meme video on my channel of me dying trying to do a water bucket fall, I actually died because as I jumped the screen went black looking at the grass. Aside from those two there is the annoying gsync flickering which was widely reported at release and really noticeable. Also ghosting or the Corona effect I think it's called, but that I don't notice it too much.
I just picked up the AOC ~equivalent. IMO the AOC is much better than this Samsung G5 based on your review. The stand is superb and it comes with USB etc. I actually got this and the MSI monitor and ended up sending the MSI one back as I could VESA mount this more easily plus it was just better features. PS. do you have any recommended programs etc for working on an ultrawide?
my LG just broke after 3 years (ngl, pissed of), The thing I'm scared the most about VA panels is the color accuracy. Especially since I do sometimes photoshop/texture creation (substance suite). Appart from the VA panel, the rest is super good.
I'd love to see a comparison between this and the viotek gn34c [or the VIOTEK GNV34DBE since it's the updated model with 144hz] ( it also uses a samsung panel) at a much lower price ($350 shipped in the US).
I retrofitted my offices with a new tech... I got my employees not the cheapest components but stuff that I would be happy using. I purchased a nice 75hz ips Samsung monitor that retails for about 150usd... it has the EXACT SAME monitor base 😭😭 dfkm.
@@tehgusbus2716 I don't like the G9! It's very unpractical! There are even less games that support that aspect ratio than 32:9! Also a lot of movies are formatted for 21:9, so having a 21:9 monitor will be perfect for watching movies! I hate that Samsung is neglecting 21:9 users! They must have been smoking something strong to have conceived the 32:9 version before the 21:9!
I really think 34" is the best choice if you want a slightly bigger and wider monitor without taking up too much space
Agreed heck I just got a brand new desk and 34 inch is the max it can support with the hutch on the desk which this desk is very very very nice. :)
Yeah but there pricey
For me this is too small i waiting for 38 inch 3840 x 1600 from Samsung, peopple still waiting and this is still impossible for buy this from Samsung
Is it good for the PS5 ??

@@aleksdeveloper698 Then it's less about the €90 and more about which aspect ratio you want. There's a massive difference between 16:9 and 21:9.
i can buy the monitor for 480$ should i go for it?
how many inches is the monitor tall?(without the stand)
I just cancelled my online order of this monitor it like $481 with tax. watched a few videos of this monitor all not so good I pay a little more get something better. thanks for video
i have to agree on the stand I would thought it come with an Arm least movable up and down the very basic
does it have speakers?
How is the Ghosting ? I want to play FPS on it
where did you get that wallpaper? :D
There is a link in the description
@@GearSeekers whoops yeah I realized I didn't delete this comment. I posted it right before watching.. hehe my bad
I have the Odyssey g7 27" monitor and I've had quite a few issues with it. Which is annoying because the display itself is very good. Hopefully Samsung improved the quality with this one.
What problems? I’ve had mine a year for gaming and work. It’s been on 24/7 and never had an issue.
@@coffeeaddictgaming2883 it's worth noting I got it when the monitor when it first released back in July or August 2020. Still haven't figured out how to update the software I should probably do that.
An issue that arose pretty quickly was the screen going completely black, the only way to restore the image was to power cycle the monitor. I had a very similar issue not long later emerge where the display would flicker off and on rather fast, there are probably videos of it on UA-cam.
I noticed the black screen would happen only after the monitor had been on for a while so I think it was something to do with overheating. As for the rapid black screen flickering I realised that was triggered particularly when looking at noisy green pixels such as the grass in Minecraft. I actually have a meme video on my channel of me dying trying to do a water bucket fall, I actually died because as I jumped the screen went black looking at the grass.
Aside from those two there is the annoying gsync flickering which was widely reported at release and really noticeable. Also ghosting or the Corona effect I think it's called, but that I don't notice it too much.
I just picked up the AOC ~equivalent. IMO the AOC is much better than this Samsung G5 based on your review. The stand is superb and it comes with USB etc. I actually got this and the MSI monitor and ended up sending the MSI one back as I could VESA mount this more easily plus it was just better features.
PS. do you have any recommended programs etc for working on an ultrawide?
I hope to see a review on the MSI OPTIX MAGCQR342 34 ultrawide 144hz
Can you walk mount it?
I shake my table for no reason every 37 seconds.
my LG just broke after 3 years (ngl, pissed of), The thing I'm scared the most about VA panels is the color accuracy. Especially since I do sometimes photoshop/texture creation (substance suite).
Appart from the VA panel, the rest is super good.
With the Samsung you do have to download the upgrade file off Samsung normally that would fix it
I'd love to see a comparison between this and the viotek gn34c [or the VIOTEK GNV34DBE since it's the updated model with 144hz] ( it also uses a samsung panel) at a much lower price ($350 shipped in the US).
Anyone know how it goes for consoles? ive heard alot of ultra wide monitors stretch the consol image.
It does..i just bought it and i am returning it. I don t like it
Hi ik it’s late but can you please help me I have tried everything but I’m stuck on 60hz
try display settings (or display perferance I forget) if you right click on the home screen, and change the refresh rate
same.
21:9 is the way to watch and play! SPOT ON THAT STAND IS SO CHEAP its really not acceptable A STAND IS A MUST! a great monitor!
How about fix your desk then it's on and make it solid sounds like a plan to me that's what I did no problemo
How about you don't buy terrible quality monitors.
I retrofitted my offices with a new tech... I got my employees not the cheapest components but stuff that I would be happy using. I purchased a nice 75hz ips Samsung monitor that retails for about 150usd... it has the EXACT SAME monitor base 😭😭 dfkm.
any 27'' gaming monitor recommend?
The g7 27inch, this one here has terrible reviews on pretty much every retailer in the UK.
I too love 21 x 9 monitors, or even greater than 21.
Waiting on the neo version of this monitor to be announced!
That would be insane there'd be no reason to get the g9 then
@@tehgusbus2716 I don't like the G9! It's very unpractical! There are even less games that support that aspect ratio than 32:9! Also a lot of movies are formatted for 21:9, so having a 21:9 monitor will be perfect for watching movies! I hate that Samsung is neglecting 21:9 users! They must have been smoking something strong to have conceived the 32:9 version before the 21:9!
@@NativeWarrior081 yeah I want it for my simrig but don't have space for it a lot of people don't. But 34 inch with 1000r for sure
