Samsung 34′ Odyssey G5 Ultra-Wide Gaming Monitor with 1000R Curved Screen, 165Hz, 1ms, FreeSync Premium, Large Display, Eye Comfort, Multiple Ports, WQHD, LC34G55TWWNXZA, Black

Great ultrawide monitor if you can get it under $400
Overall I’m a lot happier with this than an old 4k tv from walmart. Only complaints I have were the lackluster HDR, which I expected only being HDR10, and the color, which was a super easy fix. I just changed was color, I changed it to Cool 2 and set blue to 70 and it looks perfect now. No dead pixels or cracks to speak of, just some scratches on the frame from being a clutz installing it.Unlike what the other reviews say, the power LED can be turned off while the monitor is off, by going into system and scrolling all the way down, it shows “Power LED On”, and set it to “Working,” this will let the LED turn off while the monitor is off. Great for someone who has their computer in their room and likes it nice and dark while they sleep.Going from 60hz to 165 was a massive difference for me, it felt like the image was clearer sooner after moving. The curve isn’t too much, but 1500r would have been nice. I haven’t used it for any FPS games, because I have this installed on a monitor arm on my sim racing rig, but I imagine the experience would be great.As for racing, I think 21:9 is better as it’s a more efficient use of screen space. How often do you look at the roof and dashboard of your car while driving? I don’t look much personally, so I thought I would get rid of the unused space and get my monitor closer to the top of the wheel so it feels more immersive, but also keep a wider FOV to see more on the track.I bought this because it ticked all of my boxes; ultrawide, >100 PPI, IPS, >144hz, 1ms response time, and a nice curve. I would say if you can get it under $400 to go and snag one.

Support is not helpful, and the Monitor does not operate reliably.
The monitor looks good when it works. The button press control “stalk” is a pain in the butt, and gets in the way of any accessories (Tobii eye tracker, etc) due to placement. But the biggest issue is that it consistently refuses to power back on when the pc comes out of sleep mode. I have to physically unplug the power source to get it to power up. Rebooting the computer does nothing. It did not do this initially (purchased in October 2024), but is doing it more and more. I have had an open ticket for more than 6 months. Support is polite, but not effective. I am not waiting for a call from a service rep who according to the support rep is likely going to tell me to ship it to them so they can fix it then ship it back. This is a non-starter, I work from home and cannot be without a monitor. With an issue this on-going, I would have expected more significant action (cross ship replacement, etc), but this is not an option for the Samsung Support reps. At this point, I cannot recommend Samsung monitors and will be looking to replace with another brand I have had good luck with (Acer, Asus, etc).Update: After being told 2 times my device was out of warranty after only 7 months and being required to prove my purchase 2 times, I was told you expect a call arranging a home repair visit on one of three preferred days I had provided. Instead, I received a phone call asking to pay $329 for an “out of warranty” repair. After proving my purchase was in warranty a 3rd time, and bring disconnected twice, I was told that I would have to ship them the monitor for 2 to 3 weeks as they don’t offer in home repair on Monitors of this size (34 inches). As the current owner of a Samsung TV, range and laundry appliances i can say unequivocally that they will never see another of my dollars. Service is horrendous. Don’t buy this monitor or any of their other products.

WOW!This monitor has succeeded my expectations, I was nervous after seeing some of these reviews. But let me tell you. Once you get this monitor you will never be able to go back to a 32inch or less.I bought this monitor to be my main monitor for streaming/playing games as I wanted that extended view.First off, I love that Its 165hz. I have the option to go less as well but as my computer can handle this I have it set to the 165hz.The colors are bright and vibrant. I am using the Freesync and I see absolutely no tearing in games of any kind. Motion blur isn’t a problem either. The screen Brightness is perfect and has night mode for all of us gamers who enjoy being awake when no one else is.I have this connected to a freestanding stand, I decided not to use the stand it came with as it fits with all my other monitors this way better and I can turn the screen as needed. So I cannot comment on the stand.The power button is on the very bottom middle and also serves as the joystick to navigate the menu.Freesync has been working great. Also what I didn’t see in the description is that this monitor does have the option to put a crosshair on the screen, there are a few to choose from and you can move it around to get the perfect spot for your game. You can also adjust the Black level to either be brighter or darker. This affects things like shadows and can make enemies easier to see.My overall mark of this monitor would be a 10/10. Samsung out did themselves.

بعد فتره ماراح تقدر تلعب على 165HZ و تضطر تلعب ع 100HZ الشاشه لا تنفع الالعاب ابدا كلها لاق و تقطيع ممكن افلام و تصفح اما اللعاب لا

Excelente monitor, muy buen tiempo de respuesta y la imagen es hermosa, por el precio si esperaría al menos que trajera conexión usb c con hub u otro display port, pero de ahí en fuera lo recomiendo 100%Lo que diría también es un punto malo, es la base, en el manual dice que se puede ajustar la inclinación, pero esto no es verdad y el peso del monitor hace que este tenga una ligera inclinación, está muy pensando para que le compres un monitor arm o lo montes en la pared, esto último es lo que haré yo, ya que si no quedas a la altura correcta si es muy incómodo después de un rato.En general es un 8.9/10, el monitor no es uno de gama baja mi media, ya es de gama alta, otros monitorea que están en el mismo precio traen por lo menos hub usb, más de un display port o bocina, esperaría al menos uno de estos por el precio, la base deja mucho que desear, pues eso se tener que gastar en un brazo por qué no se puede ajustar cuando otros del mismo precio o menores si, es bastante molesto.Lo que si es que a pesar de lo anterior no puedo ni quejarme, es un excelente producto, tiene muy buena imagen, el acabado mate de la pantalla ayuda mucho si estás cerca de una ventana o tienes focos justo atrás de ti (este es mi caso) dado que no se refleja nada, los acabados son buenos, el botón de navegación tiene buen feedback, el freesync funciona bien, todo es excelente en este monitor, lo recomiendo al 100% si lo encuentras por el precio que yo de $14,500 pesos mexicanos, ya que por lo que tiene a 18mil que lo venden en la página de samsung, ya déjame hace mucho.
