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.

Ran to Best Buy to look at the 45GX950A-B and it was hard to leave without one (two setup on the floor, two in boxes). Price tag helped me leave, but still thinking about it. Tough to look at my 34' Odyssey G5 after that.

Thanks for finding this. Very interested in what PPI this statement ("the V-Stripe structure improves the clarity of text edges, making it ideal for users engaged in text-intensive tasks such as document editing, coding, or content creation") will mean for the new panels. Love my G55T, but the lower PPI difference from my work-issued MacBook Pro M4 is a challenge (I'm not allowed to install anything on the machine as it is a work machine, so no BetterDisplay options for me). Pricing will be interesting as the LG 32U990A-S with its 224 PPI IPS black panel has been becoming more tempting, despite the price.

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.

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.
