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.
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.
@@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.

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'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.
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!
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'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 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

@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@1UpNerdcore I would be curious to know what are your settings for this monitor as I have found some on Amazon.ca and it does make the screen look better and crisp. 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.
@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.
@@hraklhsmps4944 buy this monitor i have it for almost 4 months and its awesome and you must find it in the setting to change resolution and hz but watch some short youtube video and they will show you where to find it
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.
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!
people who still have the issue w/ flicker did not put settings on properly.. vrr is added under system on osd tab.. if thats not on it will flicker.. its 100% fixed for flicker

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
@@Alex-cb7gd negative its been a great monitor so far I've had it just over a month use it almost every day I haven't got any bad things really to say about it
I was able to get a 3060 ti founders edition and was looking at the comments and I think you just helped me decide what to get lol and this video review.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
I am seeing one of these on sale at Amazon for $200. Great deal but my only issue is that I'm looking at getting a trio of these or something similar for a triple monitor setup. The bezel on these seems kinda wide as opposed to something like a KTC frameless 32" QHD. The only issue with the KTC is it's 1500R instead of 1000R.
I just ordered this monitor at 230€ without second thought. I'll keep it at 120FPS or I might even create a profile at 90FPS because I play all my games with VSync enabled. By the way, 1440p is for 27 inches top. Bigger monitors provide less PPI which sucks, blurry font rendering. The pure perfection is 27 inches at 2160p resolution, but you need an extreme GPU. It almost touches modern mobile phones clarity and the ~150 ppi is more than great in comparison to 90-110 we usually get at this price point.
Been wanting to buy a monitor for my Xbox series X playing on the big screen was just too much this was an amazing review n absolutely convinced me to buy this one thanks for the amazing review! 👍
Thanks for the review, I'm confused between this and an ultrawide monitor that has no hdr, which one would be more immersive? I'm a casual player and I mostly play single player games.
@@1UpNerdcore thanks for the reply, the ultrawide monitor is the Xiaomi ultrawide monitor 34, which would cost me around 490$ in my country while the odyssey g5 would cost me 420$ so which one you think would actually give me a better experience ? and btw I've never tried any curved monitor before and this would be the first, thanks in advance and sorry for my rusty English.
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!
What technical aspect? There were none... its was just superficial talk...or do we have a different definition and understanding of what constitutes technical when it comes to monitor reviews?
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
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.
@@vytautaskryzius2556i had flat monitors always earlier and to be honest it's amazing. Good for fps games too you're more focused on the center if that makes sense
14:52 Can you please explain the difference between G-SYNC compatibility in the G5 vs G-SYNC certification in the G7. If I buy the G5 will I be able to use G-SYNC? If so, is there any downside to the G5 not being G-SYNC certified?
Gsync certified just means nvidia tested it to make sure it works correctly. I haven’t had any issues enabling gsync compatibility on the G5 which hasn’t officially been tested and certified by nvidia but it works fine.
Any idea if this monitor will do well connected to a galaxy book pro for website design and Adobe illustrator? It's really the only 32" monitor I can find with a good price for something higher than 1080 resolution (to give me more screen realstate), and also with a curve. I wish it had more colors though, but seems to still be a good buy.
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
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!

Keep in mind that's not really HDR at least i don't think it is , i don't have an HDR monitor , but this Vivid Gaming setting makes colors more vibrant and pops up alot more than without.
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?

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.

I have had one of these for a few years now (32 inch), and while in general I'm pretty happy with it, I've recently had an issue where the LED layer is delaminating and seperating from the backlight, due to the curve. The front and back layers are only glued together, and over time (probably due to overheating) they've separated. Right now it's not a huge deal, I don't think it'll fall off any time soon, but because of the curve there's a thin white line at the top of the screen where the backlight bleeds through, and it's kind of distracting.
Lets hope Sony do the right thing and add the native 1440p support and VRR to the PS5 .... BTW I have one of these on order due to arrive around the 22nd of November. It was your original review that convinced me to purchase one , that and it had £60 quid off on the Amazon early black friday deals.....
How are the black levels on it? I have an OLED tv after I got that I wasn’t able to look at my IPS display without dying inside so I was looking for a monitor with a good black level and contrast… is this good even if the G5 isn’t QLED while the G7 is? Btw, if you’re thinking of buying OLED… be aware… it spoils you
I bought a gigabyte G27F2 in january and after 6 months started failing, got it replaced and the replacement started failing after a month lol now the store is letting me choose something in that price range and there are a lot of 24 and 27' 1080p monitors but way cheaper than the price they're selling the Gigabyte so in that price range they have a Samsung G4 1080p 25 inches 240hz or this G5 27 inches model. I'm on the fence because i have a RX 6600 (non XT model) and it does great in 1080p but idk if it will be enough for 1440p. I think i'm gonna go with the G5 but would love to know your opinion! Great video!
Hey there, thanks a ton for the detailed reviews! I'm seriously thinking about getting this monitor, but I’ve seen quite a lot of reviews on Amazon mentioning that after about a year or so of usage, the top middle of the screen starts to slip out of the frame.

If I use the monitor mainly for watching shows/films and editing videos on Premiere Pro and After Effects, does the curvature make a big difference? Does it make it any better?
Have you noticed artifacting/color banding in the dark areas of games/videos/pictures on the G5? I just got it a few days ago and have been noticing a lot more artifacting on videos I've edited on my previous monitor, along with on my wallpapers and in the dark areas of games. and comparing videos and pictures on the G5 to my old TN panel monitor, the artifacting isn't even noticeable on the old one. Is that maybe just something that happens with VA panels or is it something with this particular monitor?
@@youfoundeffe3080 Oh, it wasn't smearing exactly, more like jagged edges between transitions of color and light in the darker areas. I got the G7 and that issue is gone. Weird
I use this monitor (27" version) to play my series x and for the most part I'm really enjoying it. The hdr is always hit or miss depending on the game so I feel kinda forced to leave it off. I did have a question though. What would be your recommendation for settings and is there a guide for tweaking the hdr so I can actually use it?
IDK what changed but when I use to play games and turn HDR on.. the Resident Evil 2 remake for instance.. it would wash out my image no matter what settings I messed with... even turning HDR on in my Windows settings would wash out my screen.. now I have Windows 11 and an RX 6800 (the only two changes I've made since last trying HDR) and my HDR experience is way better ...enough so that I just keep HDR on now. I wish I had an explanation for this but now it just works... it's not as good as my LG 4K TV HDR but its good enough (and way better then before) that I actually use it now in games.
would you recommend this for a PS5/Xbox Series X/S owners? if not what would you recommend if anything around the same budget area? I know playstation just announced 1440 going into beta testing, so looks to be coming
1 Up Nerdcore But im confused, rainbow six siege is confirmed for dynamic 4k 120 fps ( i know thats not native but thats gotta be around 1440 p right?)
It’ll be good for productivity although it’s a bit overkill for that. I prefer ultrawides for productivity personally and it depends on how color accurate you need it to be
Do someone know if the G5 support a 4k signal to downscale it to 1440p ? I know the G7 can but i'm not sure for the G5. It would let me have a better image than 1080p with my ps4 pro.

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).

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.

@@1UpNerdcore I would be curious to know what are your settings for this monitor as I have found some on Amazon.ca and it does make the screen look better and crisp. 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.

@@bangbang-ko2gi Update please!
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!

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?

Hi how's the ghosting on the monitor?
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.

Great review Homie! Bought this monitor!
I hope this is Mark from Highschool!
@@1UpNerdcore 100% and middle school lol
Yea buddy! Let me know what you think!
I am seeing one of these on sale at Amazon for $200. Great deal but my only issue is that I'm looking at getting a trio of these or something similar for a triple monitor setup. The bezel on these seems kinda wide as opposed to something like a KTC frameless 32" QHD. The only issue with the KTC is it's 1500R instead of 1000R.
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.

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.

Gsync certified just means nvidia tested it to make sure it works correctly. I haven’t had any issues enabling gsync compatibility on the G5 which hasn’t officially been tested and certified by nvidia but it works fine.
Are there any problems playing at 60fps, thinking of buying this for the xbox series x and I'm worried about playing games that are locked at 60 fps

It's really the only 32" monitor I can find with a good price for something higher than 1080 resolution (to give me more screen realstate), and also with a curve. I wish it had more colors though, but seems to still be a good buy.
I wouldn’t recommend this if you need accurate colors.

I have had one of these for a few years now (32 inch), and while in general I'm pretty happy with it, I've recently had an issue where the LED layer is delaminating and seperating from the backlight, due to the curve. The front and back layers are only glued together, and over time (probably due to overheating) they've separated. Right now it's not a huge deal, I don't think it'll fall off any time soon, but because of the curve there's a thin white line at the top of the screen where the backlight bleeds through, and it's kind of distracting.
i got mine on sale with an adjustable stand (height) and with the ability to flip around into a much smaller screen

I didn’t have that issue. The newer panel version shouldn’t have any issues like that as they’ve come out with 2-3 updates since this video.
*I had some beautiful Samsung monitors and TVs. But they defect after a few years. It sucks, because I love Samsung.*
*I JUST retired my 8 year old BenQ 1440p 27" GW series monitor. Still runs perfectly.*
*But I grabbed a 75 Hz BenQ 1440p 32" IPS LED. I am in love. If Samsung didn't spoil my love for them, I would buy an Odyssey G series. But dead pixels, burnt driver boards, sections of screens artifacting, etc.*
Just purchased one two weeks ago. So far I love it great screen for the price, what setting do you recommend for the sharpness? I think mine is all the way up 😅 thanks
Tbh I don’t really need 4K gaming I’m good, plus I can upgrade in the future if I want.
It's a 2K monitor.
@@StardustLegacyFighter I wasn’t talking about this one I was saying how I don’t need a 4K one and this will do fine.
If I play siege a lot should I get this because at 5:50 it sounds like maybe not
Depends on your budget
Hey! Do you know if this will work at 1440p, 120hz with VRR on the Series X? Seeing alot of people having trouble with activating VRR Freesync with their 1440p monitors. Thanks!
Yes, another person commented and confirmed this
How does this look with the Series X? Gonna order monitor tomorrow, holding off u til after Xmas for Series X
Got the odyssey G7 32inch with a Xbox series x and it’s beautiful! And with the RBG lighting Definitely looks better then the G5 monitor
No VRR on series x with this monitor. Tried it myself..
Thanks great review

If I use the monitor mainly for watching shows/films and editing videos on Premiere Pro and After Effects, does the curvature make a big difference? Does it make it any better?
I think it makes it slightly better
@@1UpNerdcore as long as it don't make it worse
Have you noticed artifacting/color banding in the dark areas of games/videos/pictures on the G5? I just got it a few days ago and have been noticing a lot more artifacting on videos I've edited on my previous monitor, along with on my wallpapers and in the dark areas of games. and comparing videos and pictures on the G5 to my old TN panel monitor, the artifacting isn't even noticeable on the old one. Is that maybe just something that happens with VA panels or is it something with this particular monitor?
Its because is an old generation va panel and all old va panels have the problem of black smearing but in my opinion its not this bad on the g5
@@youfoundeffe3080 Oh, it wasn't smearing exactly, more like jagged edges between transitions of color and light in the darker areas. I got the G7 and that issue is gone. Weird
I use this monitor (27" version) to play my series x and for the most part I'm really enjoying it. The hdr is always hit or miss depending on the game so I feel kinda forced to leave it off. I did have a question though. What would be your recommendation for settings and is there a guide for tweaking the hdr so I can actually use it?
HDR calibration is usually done in game
I'm more interested in settings like color, contrast, brightness, sharpness.. etc.
IDK what changed but when I use to play games and turn HDR on.. the Resident Evil 2 remake for instance.. it would wash out my image no matter what settings I messed with... even turning HDR on in my Windows settings would wash out my screen.. now I have Windows 11 and an RX 6800 (the only two changes I've made since last trying HDR) and my HDR experience is way better ...enough so that I just keep HDR on now. I wish I had an explanation for this but now it just works... it's not as good as my LG 4K TV HDR but its good enough (and way better then before) that I actually use it now in games.
I buy a xbox series x
Wich is beter a monitor wich 120hz and 1080 or 4k and 60 hz
@@proxybsgaming171 for me.. 4k@60fps
would you recommend this for a PS5/Xbox Series X/S owners? if not what would you recommend if anything around the same budget area?
I know playstation just announced 1440 going into beta testing, so looks to be coming
This is a solid monitor for Xbox for the price 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore awesome review and thanks for the quick feedback. excited to get my own!
Please show your settings on this! I’m thinking about getting this for the ps5 do you think this will do me good as my first Monitor ?
Don’t get it for ps5. Sony announced the ps5 doesn’t have native 1440p support.
ASUS, go ASUS man.
@@jsweizston5410 do you recommend the VG328H1B version?
1 Up Nerdcore But im confused, rainbow six siege is confirmed for dynamic 4k 120 fps ( i know thats not native but thats gotta be around 1440 p right?)
1 Up Nerdcore so idk just because its not native, it wouldn’t be a good buy? Correct me if im wrong please
Seems like a nice monitor, might be getting this one
This should be a great monitor for xbox series s right? Thinking of getting 27 inch.
It can be 👍🏻
Thanks, Steven! Great vid! Do you think this would work for productivity? Or do you have a recommendation? Tnx!
It’ll be good for productivity although it’s a bit overkill for that. I prefer ultrawides for productivity personally and it depends on how color accurate you need it to be
Thanks for asking Ana, I’m looking for something I can work / game with. Seems like a great choice
@@1UpNerdcore exactly what I went with! An LG 34WL500 34"...WORKS GREAT! THANKS!!!
Do someone know if the G5 support a 4k signal to downscale it to 1440p ?
I know the G7 can but i'm not sure for the G5.
It would let me have a better image than 1080p with my ps4 pro.
@Rolling Konong what, no it's a feature from the screen
I'd like to know too!
