Samsung - 34" Odyssey G5 Gaming Monitor

I went with a Samsung odyessy g5 34 inch IPS panel and my only complaint is the same complaint I had with my old monitors: it's too bright in dark rooms and too dark in daylight. If I had OLED money I'd be running OLED or similar on all 3 monitors (I run 2 16x9's with for discord and background videos, considering getting 16x10's and running them vertical

i have the samsung one you mentioned and have loved it to death, i had a 27” asus 165z 1440p i used forever, then i upgraded to that G5 and have never looked back a single time, and i use the asus as my top monitor (stacked layout) and the g5 for productivity is amazing, im studying engineering so i lften have say a practice exam open, the textbook/ solutions on the other half using windows features to split the windows and i have plenty of space to see and read everything i need to, especially for say a programming assignment i can have th e requirements document open on 1 half and my IDE open on the other and again, full range of vision

Try the BetterDisplay app on your Mac (also agree with the Silkland 80Gbps USB-C to DisplayPort cable. Both made me optimize settings for my M1 Pro MacBook Pro. As I use a 34" Samsung G5 UW mostly for productivity, PPI was a concern. The PPI challenge has me looking at this LG monitor, but at 32 inches feels too small, but 224 PPI means sharp, MacBook Pro clarity. If they added a 40 inch, I'd likely make the jump.

G5 34 inch. Lovely, but tempted to go much bigger.

Están los samsung odyssey G5, G7 y G9. Yo tengo 3 G5 curvos de 27 pero son VA, no IPS.

Snagged one! Should be a nice upgrade to my 10-year old monitor.

I just bought the Sansui 34 UW for my kids, it arrives today so I can let you know. I will say my G5 Odyssey UW was horrible. The UFO test to look at ghosting was so bad that it left a trail about 2 inches on the screen. The only thing I can recommend is the Alienware 34" OLED (FreeSync one), every once in a while they go on sale for $500 and I have had a bunch of UW's over the years and this one is just unbeatable. The OLED is something else.

\+1 For the Samsung G55T, I had this as my main monitor for almost a year, until i got the G8 this weekend. Now using it as my second monitor. I keep loosing my mouse curser with 68 inches of curved screen 😂 Im also using for when I WFH The G55T was my intro into curved wide screens as I stared with 2x 27 inch Acer VA panels, For me it was a big step up in performance Took a little bit to get used to size and resolution but once I was accustomed it became a very immersive experience. I mainly play single player games (cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn) so OLED was the goal, But this was the perfect stepping stone in my opinion. After some tweaking the colours turned out great. I was also surprised how much clarity it has for a VA panel. For $400 (on sale) I think its a great monitor to get you started. its currently cheaper then when I got Mine. Good Luck with your choice

I’ve been using the G5 for quite a while now for both work and gaming, and I’ve never had any issues. It has really good specs for its price, tbh.

I've been rocking a Samsung Odyssey G5 for the last 3 years or so. I'm not saying there couldn't better ones out there, but I certainly haven't had any complaints.
