Samsung Odyssey G5 Review! One of the Best Budget 1440p Monitors?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The Samsung Odyssey G5 was somewhat of a silent release as I personally wasn't aware of it until it was brought to my attention from a subscriber but after having problems with the G7 I'm happy to say that this is a solid monitor at a great price point.
*The price has dropped since my recording! It's only 349.99 right now for the G5, 699.99 for the G7 and 1399.99 for the G9. Of course these are subject to change.
From what I'm hearing though most of the problems with the G7 have been solved for most people via firmware updates but keep in mind that monitor is 430 dollars more.
Below are links for the Odyssey monitors as well as the Gigabyte monitor which comes in at the same price point with very similar specs. I didn't want to take up more time with the review to compare the two as I will be doing a separate video covering that.

Just bought this monitor on sale last week. Thanks for making the video, it helped me make my decision. Very happy with it so far, love the 1000R curve!
i ordered this yesterday, cant wait
How's it going for you?
Any issue with colors? Mine seems kinda odd when compared to my old monitor
I've been happy with mine, it isn't perfect but it's a good screen. I've noticed on mine the backlighting has some issues where some areas are brighter in others, but I think that's due to the curve. Other than that I have nothing to complain about, I've used it for 10-12 hours a day as my main monitor for work for the past 6 months and it is holding up well.
144hz, HDR, 1ms response time and affordable, right? That’s all I ever need!
Get the Alienware 25onch 240hz 1ms monitor 300$
@@OmniPhantom thats not 1440p...
Doubt you get 1ms with HDR on. 99% of monitors turn all that off when HDR is on.
It accepts an HDR signal but it's implementation is total garbage. No local dimming, it tops out at 350 nits when at the very least need to be at 600 nits to be decent and it doesn't have a wide color gamut. It essentially has none of the three pillars of HDR. This monitor isn't even at DisplayHDR 400 which is infamous for being garbage.
For all intents and purposes, it doesn't actually display HDR content.
Does it ghost like all VAs do? I can't take the tail ghosting
Sure sounds like it's better than my 60hz 1080p 7 year old scratched to high hell moniter!
yep iam in the same boat!
Mine is 45 hz and 720p that have a white burnt spot in the center of the screen and is scratched and dirty as hell

@@josiahclutch Its not a lie tho but I dont have it now I will be upgrading my setup that's why I was here
Me too
I bought this monitor a couple months ago because the price was right for a 1440p 144hz monitor and I’ve heard good things about Samsung monitors. I was hesitant on getting a curved monitor but now I don’t think I could ever go back to a flat display. I love this monitor and I personally haven’t noticed any ghosting. The only problem I have is trying to use HDR.. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but every time I turn it on it washes out my screen. But HDR wasn’t why I bought this so it’s not a big deal. But this was a great and spot on review and made me subscribe to your channel.
Ever figure out the hdr problem? I have the same issue.
@@deathwish8672 I originally kind of just gave up figuring it out... but then I upgraded to Windows 11 and tried it for the hell of it and turned on Auto HDR and now it seems to work fine.
@@Rollett I use this monitor for playing my series x so it must be something else. I've had some pretty bad luck with screens and HDR
The hdr is not properly implemented in lots of games. They have it...but it doesn't work properly. I have a Radeon 580 rx 8 gb, and after some experimenting with gpu settings and the monitor settings, I found the perfect spot. I am very pleased with this monitor.
Bro im 1 year after but have you noticed the screen at the top to adjust from the construction like the screen has been weird at all or its perfect
Owning one of these myself and having played with it for about a month, your review is right on the money. It's a lot of performance for the price, and while it's not the best, it's also priced quite a bit lower than the best. I picked up one of these on Prime Day in 32" for only $296, and for that I feel like it was an absolute steal for all it offers.
I feel like the people that would really feel this monitor's limitations the most are also people that are hardcore enough to justify spending more on a monitor anyway. Anyone with reasonable expectations in the $300-400 price range could hardly do better than this.
do you feel like that 1440p its too low for 32"?
@@valent0ne It's the exact same pixel density of 91.79 ppi that a 24 inch 1080p monitor is, and 1080p is generally considered adequate at that size. I certainly don't feel like it's deficient in that regard...and neither does Samsung, considering their flagship 32" gaming monitor is also 1440p.
Do you turn it off manually after using it or leave it how it stays after you turn off your gaming system?
@@los3056 I have mine hooked up to a PC, not a gaming console. But it should act like any computer monitor and go to sleep on its own after it drops receiving video input.
The 27" is 230 right now.
Btw to anyone wondering. This monitor works on the Xbox series X, at 1440p at 120hz. I have it and can confirm it. The new Xbox doesn’t let some 1440p 144hz monitors get to full performance (1440p 120hz). This is Microsoft’s fault, but this monitor doesn’t have that issue!
I have this monitor as well, but I can’t seem to figure out how to make HDR10 to work, have you been able?
@@carias98 same her.. it just cant find it.. its not there..
thank you so much for commenting this as i’ve been on the hunt for a good monitor for my Xbox series X. Would you recommend the G5? Does it look good?
So helpful thank you!
@@jimhalpert1680 did you end up buying it?
Bought this 32 inch G5 a few days ago , old set up was a Asus lcd 27 inch 120hz and that was a good monitor fore his time , monitor is 10 year old but you can't compare it with this G5 , my first curved monitor and oh my god the colours , shadow , response time , i play lots of hell let loose and its unreal imersion is so much more , hope this monitor also last 10 year but fore now i am a happy (old) 54 , gamer haha

@@danlewis0910 I absolutely enjoy it, it takes some time to get your eyes adjusted and be sure to personalize your settings to your liking but I love the curved look and amazing graphics.
Are the text on the screen great? I mean on the desktop
Just bought this monitor and it should be arriving any day now, I’ll reply to my comment with what I think of it. I’m upgrading from a 1080p monitor which in my opinion already looked really good, so I’m very excited to see how big of a difference this can actually make. Awesome review, cheers. ❤
The monitor has arrived and overall I’m very happy with it. When I first got it the colours were a bit off and it had this sort of green tint to it, but It seemed to fix itself! The quality is very very good, and I’m very curious as to why I have a 4k option when it’s supposed to be 1440p? Very good monitor especially for the price.
I'm right behind you bro getting mine in a couple days!! I'll be back 😂
@@bangbang-ko2gi how is it?
@@bangbang-ko2gihow are you enjoying it?
@@bangbang-ko2gi Update please!
And that's how the reviews should be done. Great work!
I've had this monitor for three months now and it has been amazing so far! Playing scenic games like Horizon or Read Dead or Subnautica has never looked so good. Unfortunately I can't really make full use of the 1440p res and 144hz refresh rate due to my gpu (I'm using an RTX 2060 so running smoothly on that res can only be done on less demanding games like Valorant or Overwatch etc. so for the newer games I have to bump it down to 1080p). Oh, and since this is 32" wide, it's an absolute knocker for movies too. And after watching this video, I got an ever better satisfaction now that I know I've bought the right product. Thanks so much 1 Up!
@Aleis in Wndrien
You should've gone with the 27" version for 1440p, as the 32" version will have lower pixel density at 1440p thus making the image look blurrier. Every resolution has a sweet-spot in size (typically 1080p - 24", 1440p - 27", and 4k - 32" and up, respectfully).
@@FlickFlag so, for rtx2060 should get 27"??
@@FlickFlag Oh, the 240hz G7? I guess if I don't need my other kidney I definitely wouldn't mind having that. Those things cost $200 more than the one that I have, at least here where I'm living. So I'm quite positive that I got the better value
does it support HDR on 1440p and 144hz ?
do you notice so much ghosting and black smearing ?
is this is 100% sRGB????
Thank you for this! Have been looking for a monitor for a while, after having played on the same laptop given to me years ago for all my life, this is quite the upgrade!

Hi how's the ghosting on the monitor?
Very smart analysis and informative. I really enjoyed your video. I hope that more reviewer would dive in to the technical aspect of monitors. You're doing great, Bro. Cheers!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great Review my friend! I got it a month ago, then read that it has blur problem and Freesync does not work very well with Nvidia cards. If you play fast-paced games blur is bad. I play PUBG and it was very noticeable, also I had to disable Freesync. I sold it, invested more and got an AOC ultrawide. it is a solid monitor for the price, but if you play action games I wouldn't recommend it. Cheers!
I reviewed the AOC ultrawide and it’s a great monitor.
What console u play
So it has blur problems?
@@Haxoruu1 it does my friend. I would save a bit more and get another monitor
@@enriquedrumsmx Yeah having a hard time finding one that wont have blur at 144hz
Fantastic video 🤘
I'm planning to buy two of this monitor, put side by side on an external arm and I want to ask you if R1000 spec will be important in this case. Thank you for your review!!!
It’ll still work on a dual monitor arm. I have my Atumtek one right now using this monitor with an 1800R curve acer so I can tell you it has plenty of clearance to work with that monitor arm setup for 2 of these.
Hello, I am planning to buy 2 of this to be setup side by side. Did you try doing this? What are your thoughts on 2 x 1000R side by side?
uh i hope you didn't buy them yet... you know these are curved right , it's 2 monitors you are buying , so right in the middle you wanna be staring at a BEZEL ? you need 3 if you don't want to be staring at a Bezel my guy.

Dam. Great review, so much detail
Currently, the Dell S2721QS model comes with a price of 250 euros and the S3221QS model 350 euros. Which one would you recommend considering this situation? My only concern for 27 ”is the scaling problem of Windows, so if I use it at 150% because the texts are too small, will my image look worse than the 4K 32 inch model? Or will it have a disadvantage? Or as an IPS panel or VA panel, which is the better choice for a quality display? Otherwise, should I pay 100 Euros more and go for the 32 ”model?
wait only 11k subs, video quality seems like you have 500k subs lool
I really wanna plan on buying this, I'm using a 30HZ 100 Euro monitor
1:17 i love how you showed a close up shot after talking about ppi, everyone one should be this specific.
Great review! I'm looking to buy 3 of these for a dedicated SIM racing rig I'm building.
Been using mine for a couple days now and at first I didn't like the curve at all, so much so that I started the exchange process on Amazon for an 27" Acer Nitro...Then I spent a day off playing all the games on it and it's amazing, enough for me to reconsider keeping it despite the strange perspective for everything else.
kept it!

Buying this monitor tomorrow. So excited to upgrade to my first 1440p 144hz monitor. Been using 1080p 60hz with my Rx 6700 xt and figured its finally a time to treat myself 😅👍
Edit: Got it. So much better looking than my old 1080p 60hz monitor 🤘 Been using it around 4-5 days now and it looks so much better than 1080p monitor. Also the curve is very nice. Takes a few days to get used to but i woudn't get a flat monitor after this. You somehow are more focused in the center of the screen because of the curve. Overall picture quality is amazing once you tweak the settings. Brightness is more than enough (300 nitts) i love it. If you're thinking whether you should buy this or not get it. I paid 188€ for mine it was a customer return with full warranty. (normal price would have been 260€)
hey, we've got the same GPU 😀.I'm as well upgrading from a 1080 60hz, so it will be a substantial upgrade for me too. I'm getting the odyssey g6, and hopefully I'll enjoy it like you've enjoyed your g5.

Your settings on the other hand look amazing...I came from a 1080p monitor to 1440p and the difference is night and day. I played so far Elder Scroll Online and the colors plus the graphics are simply stunning with this G5. I have to try an fps soon to see the difference...so far I didn't noticed any ghosting or bleeding that would annoy me.

Great review. Subbed
If you're looking at this and considering buying, DON'T. It has absolutely horrendous ghosting which makes playing basically any video game awful, as if you turned motion blur on (but worse).
I just bought it today. Ima go return it tomorrow the ghosting is terrible
Can you please tell me if the monitor is suitable for watching movies?
I want a monitor for both gaming and movies as I can't afford a TV right now.
I read that VA panels have higher contrast ratio than ips panels. So does that make watching movies much better in g5 ?
Did you encounter any black smearing effect on this VA panel?
It looks good to me but keep in mind with the 1000R curve you’ll have to view it straight on and not at any angle

If it helps had this monitor for my series x and it’s great. The only thing is that it’s very curved. I like curved some don’t.
have u got it and is it good
Technology in general is SO cheap in America... This 27'' monitor is 400$ in sweden.... They rob us over here.... you get the 32'' for less than that...
try Mexico... heres its around $500
I just ordered this monitor at 230€ without second thought. I'll keep it at 120FPS or I might even create a profile at 90FPS because I play all my games with VSync enabled.
By the way, 1440p is for 27 inches top. Bigger monitors provide less PPI which sucks, blurry font rendering. The pure perfection is 27 inches at 2160p resolution, but you need an extreme GPU. It almost touches modern mobile phones clarity and the ~150 ppi is more than great in comparison to 90-110 we usually get at this price point.
Honestly not a great monitor in my opinion I’ve been wanting to swap to 1440p for some time I think mine is the 32 inch one that’s 1440p and 165hz and my previous monitor that was a generic dell 1080p 144hz blew this thing out of the water, the Samsung has color issues and issues actually being smooth and I’ve got an overkill pc so it ain’t that, if you want an actual good 1440p experience I would not got cheap cause it won’t be good if only recommend this is you get it for half off
The G5 now will "trick" the PS5 into outputting 4k, the monitor then will down sample to 1440p.
Confused
@@stephan20008 Basically the new firmware of the monitor allows it to smh confuse and trick the ps5 into thinking it's a 4k monitor even though it's not, this allows you to put 4k on the ps5 making the monitor use its highest screen resolution which is 1440p.

@@prld935 Which one is the right one??
I was thinking the same thing but went with Samsung because they are more reliable
Is the g3 a good option for ps5 ?
Nice review. Is this monitor ideal for content creation? I'm not interested in the highest frame rate. 144hz is more than enough for my gaming needs. Just want to know if it's good for content creation as it's not an IPS panel
Simple answer: no. This is a monitor for content consumption. For creation, you need color accuracy and the curve gets in the way.
@@TheXtrafresh thanks for the input
Not for me. I am highly allergic for backlight bleed and ghosting and I saw a lot in this and other vids. Too bad Samsung...
You think ghosting could improve with any adjustments or just changing to 1080p? I'm right now playing on a 43" 4K TV but I don't know if changing to this monitor would make my gaming experience smoother with that 144Hz and FreeSync for some competitive games. Very nice review btw
You’ll have more ghosting with a tv so it won’t be as noticeable for you on this monitor
Competitive gaming on a 43”??? This is a joke right
All I heard with the comparison to the G7 for RGB was less blue light to burn my eyes while sitting at a computer. So all positives to me.
Hey man, really great reviews. I was wondering how do you enable g sync with this monitor?
I’ve read if you plug your computer into the dp port and hdmi port on the monitor and turn it on through the gpu software itself, it’ll do g sync. But people who do this say that the monitor starts to flicker. Hopefully Samsung will do an update on this to get a more reliable way to use g sync!
@@anthonysimmonds5098 hmm @
1 Up Nerdcore is using gsync without any problem here, I have seen a few more reviews using it too, maybe it was the config of that was used? Hopefully it gets sorted out completely by Samsung.
@@ChristopherSanchezDarkuso yeah it would be great if they get everything running smooth. Just bought the monitor a month ago and did a new build just waiting on trying to get a 3070 still🙃
plug it into DisplayPort, and open Nvidia control panel
@@anthonysimmonds5098 really? I'm buying one today, since its 70$ off. What is your opinion about it? How it goes with games and fps?
Is it g-sync compatible? Given that it has freesync
I did a research on Google and got an answer yes. I personally own this model too but I have Amd's graphics card, so I can't test it out my self.
as of right now this monitor is on sale and im really hopping the sale lats till friday as that when i get payed and am planning to pick it up
where is it on sale?
@@cosmoboi2144 It’s not on sale.
For how much?

With the new PS5 update it now supports 1440p. Does the HDMI 2 port support 144 hz at 1440p?
Yes 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore thanks bud! Ordering one right now 👍🏽
@@jewlian24s Opinions on it so far? Just ordered one myself 32inch today from amazon
Will this work for the xbox series s?
Yes
Do they have a 27in and will it be able to run the PS5? Downgrading the 4k to 1440p.
They have a 27inch but I don’t own a ps5 so I can’t test the downscaling
One thing I'd add is that since this review was made, you actually CAN play 1440p on PS5 now it's this monitor if you have the most recent firmware update.. it will downscale the 4K signal to 1440p.. the only catch is that it also downscales FPS to 60hz with the PS5 so it's not ideal. Might as well get a 4K 60hz at that point.. Other than that, thank you for this review! Super helpful and very detailed!
Play at 1080p then at 120hz
@@CozmicSwag if you play like cod then yes
Nah 4K 60 is wack - the odyssey lineup will do 1440p 60hz an 1080p 120hz using the ps5 performance mode
What about the series X ?
Can it still run 144 hz with 1080p
What was the rdr2 settings in this vid. It looks amazing
Feesync, Gsync, Nsync, let it sync in a bit Justin.
198 used on Amazon man not sure about this one looks fishy
it priced at £209 black friday 2022 i think thats about $215

I AM FACING ONE PROBLEM WHENEVER I RECORD MY GAMEPLAY USING NVIDIA OR XBOX AFTER RECORD WHOLE GAMEPLAY WHEN I WATCH MY GAMEPLAY THEN I NOTICED IT INCREASE THE WHITENESS IN VIDEO TOO MUCH please tell the solution very humble request
That has to do with the recorder. Make sure you’re not using HDR on the panel which would be the only issue I know of to cause that with the monitor itself.
@@1UpNerdcore Thank you very much brother my problem solved 😊
3 years later is 260$
The PS5 doesn’t do 1440p but it just outputs 2160p to the monitor so it kinda does because you still see 1440p
Ps5 now has 1440
Has it really? Just bought the G5 LS27CG552 today and it arrives tomorrow…hopping it could get that 1440p at 120hz on the ps5
i have a ps4 currently and changing to a ps5 in may would this be a good recommendation for using this with the ps4 for 6 months and then switching, very helpful videos man i appreciate it very much❤
I'm sure Sony has enabled 144hz now
Ty for the review, I got mine a month ago, and I love it! But now since the weather is colder, when I start using the PC from cold start, the monitor does a loud popping sounds for a minute or two, is that normal?
That doesn’t sound normal, I’d watch it just in case or contact Samsung about it
@@1UpNerdcore afrer some research, it appears to be its the sound of the monitor expanding a bit because of the curve, I searched "G5 popping clicking sound" and most of the users had it in G9 as well.
It is absolutely normal ! All my monitors does that after turning on or off in colder temps (or from warmer to colder) in the room :)
Do i get 144hz with the hdmi cable it comes with? Some monitors dont allow that. They only unlock 144hz if you use a display port
Hdmi 2.0 supports 1440p at 144hz so yes
just got this in the mail. will you be making a video on the settings you used on the g5 for the best gaming experience?
I’ve had enough questions about it that I need to, I’ll get that done this week 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore We will wait your video.... :D Thank you
So I have a question. I have a laptop that I use Geforce Now to play on. I want to buy this monitor but I fear that I won’t be able to fully use it.
Does anyone know what / how the laptop to monitor compatibility is? Can I use the full resolution if my laptop is 1080p? My laptop is HDMI compatible but Idk much about all this. Thanks to anyone who responds!
My laptop is poopoo, I get a little under 60FPS on Minecraft, which I only installed to see how good the gpu was.
I have this monitor and series x. Hdr doesnt work 1440p 120hz variable refresh rate work low latency mode doesnt work. Hdr doesnt work because microsoft disabled hdr for diplays that do not accept/support 4k signals. So the odyssey g7 is actually better right now because samsung update the firmware to support 4k signals so hdr works with the g7 on xbox with 120hz 1440p but for g5 not
Thanks for confirming!!! I’m going to pin this to the top so people can see it!
@@1UpNerdcore thanks man i wish microsoft would allow hdr on all resolution. And if not hopefully samsung update this monitor like the g7 with accepting 4k signals
Bro can I have variable refresh rate on on 1440p 120 hz on g5 and g7? Thanks

Hi I need some help!
I have a G7 right now and I want to get a secondary monitor but I´m not sure if I should get another G7 or a G5 because I'm worried about the color difference.
G7, G5 color isn’t nearly as good as G7
Ps5 added 1440p support. You could maybe update this video.. maybe even add popup text to state it does
You can’t do that once a videos out. PS5 having 1440p support now is common knowledge so it wouldn’t do me any good to make a separate video or address it.
Amazon has a black friday sale on this at $289 right now.
Yup :) I covered it my Black Friday sale video
@@1UpNerdcore bestbuy $229
@John Titus samsung still selling it on their website for 230
230 on samsung’s website
@@michaelvogel2212 That looks like its only for the 27". I was referring to the 32".
The G5 I was looking at has GtG... is that correct? It says grey to grey 1ms
The G7 does not the G5
Great video
Do you need to turn monitor on and off manually or it will power on and off automatically with the pc?
Thank you
It’ll power automatically
Thank you
the g7 vrr fix for flickering just adds stutter . not fixed
i got this monitor because my hardware would never get 240hz at 1440
what is ur hardware
I hate living in Japan, this monitor is fucking $700 here
Bummer!
Just received my 32 curve it's great it does take time to get it set to your preference. Like the HDR make sure to turn on low input lag in the windows settings. You will have to play around with the settings when gaming don't forget to restart the computer for most video/graphics settings to take effect. Took me 2 days to find the perfect setting
I had this problem,thanks for helping me,have the monitor sinds today and am very happy with it(sorry for bad english)
How is it after using t till now? Any issues?
What is your "best" setting for gaming on this monitor? Thanks!
I got it!! I love it!!
I just dont like it has stutter
For this much money it could be better
Just scored the 27" version of this monitor for 229 on Amazon! Cant wait for it to arrive!
Scored the 32" version for 290$
@indigomorningx I highly recommend it. It's very smooth and samsung just release a firmware update that allow it to give 3840x2160 natively with no lag.
@indigomorningx I've experienced slight ghosting but it's to a point where i barely notice it. Honestly it's one of the best monitor I ever own. I replaced my predator xb271hu with the G5. I would recommend a 27" though. 32" is way too much.
I can't move my Samsung G5 monitor up and down like you in minute 1:26
Do you know what to do about it??
The stand is tight so it’s most likely due to that. You can take it off and try to move it and then put it back on.
