    Should be 5+ but
    4 Stars
    Should be 5+ but
    Like the title says, this should be a 5* but speakers are dead. I don’t use the monitor speakers but they should work and I had to take a star away for that.Overall: The G5 27” is. fantastic deal on a top contender for its price class. 2560x1440 @ 165Hz via DP cable, and 144Hz via HDMI cable.The feature I love most about this monitor (and my last Samsung) is the 1000R curve. After using this curve for a few years, I can tell you first hand that the difference in eye strain using this monitor is considerably less for me than flat screens and even other curved monitors. Samsung produces the most models with the 1000R curve as far as I am aware.Colors are great, blacks are really good. Games have great depth in the environments and they look so realistic, it’s like a movie in some games it’s so smooth. I’m using a RTX4070 8GB to drive this one which helps with texture quality but it’s still the monitor creating the visual. .The menu shstem is pictured. It’s all done in Samsung fashion with a single push to open menu/select option, with joystick navigation Simply pulling “forward” on the joystick opens the volume adjustment slider for easy volume changes, and pull twice to mute feature. Once you get the hang of it, It’s simple to operate.I’d recommend it if this is your budget for a monitor. I bought one and put the other on layaway. I wanted to teat this one before getting them both.

    I have two of these monitors for a dual screen setup and they both work fantastic. The only issue I've ever come across is sometimes they switch back and forth between hdr being on and off. I have no idea where that issue lies, either within the monitors themselves or maybe my graphics card, but when I go into settings for display and turn it off I don't have to worry about it so I'm not. Everything else about these monitors is great. The high quality, the built-in headphone jack (which to me is more like a luxury) and the fact that it's so easy to make changes like brightness. I have 165hz which is overkill to me so I'm sure these will be my monitors for life lol. If you're unsure get these on sale, they're worth the price to me either way.

    I had a G5 early model back when it was a 32" monitor. Loved it, the size was perfect and it was just the best for gaming and music production. Lots of space. However, human nature has to ruin everything. As embarrassing as it is to admit, one night I got killed in a way that sent me just a little bit too much and I punched probably the most expensive option that I had, the monitor. Completely broke it in multiple ways, the only part of the monitor that worked was the lowest left corner. Great. Just broke my $350 monitor. OK, let's check Amazon and just get another one. $550????? I didn't feel too good about my emotions at that point but hey, work was good and it looked like they upped the size and hz from the previous G5. Boy did they ever. This thing is incredible. The curve and size might be a little to adjust to but once you game on this thing you'll never feel normal playing anything on a flat monitor. It's so much smoother (165hz vs 144), it fills your entire vision, it's just the ultimate experience for anything, from Counter Strike to Forza. Don't even bother to check BenQ, just do yourself a favor and buy this. Samsung killed it with the 32" but knocked it out of the PARK with the 34.

    Update: This is an HDR10 monitor but you won't get the 10 bit color range unless you set the refresh rate to 120MHZ in either the windows display settings or preferably the Nvidia control panel. After some research I learned that it's a physical limitation of the DP cable.

    For best visual performance you should set the refresh rate to 120MHZ in your GPU's control panel then limit the FPS to 118 and turn on G-Sync. Then disable V-Sync in all your games.

    Note: 10 bit color is the point of HDR. 8 bit has been around forever, it's 16.7 million colors. 10 bit is the new stuff and what HDR is all about. It provides 1.07 billion colors. If you push the refresh rate over 120 windows will automatically switch to 8 bit with dithering, AKA Fake HDR.

    PS It went on sale and we just bought a second one.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Pros:

    It's near impossible to find a monitor with all these features for less than $600.

    This is my 1st HDR and 2k gaming monitor and I've been going through my games, Hogwarts, Forspoken, Kena, Metro Exodus, Ratchet & Clank and everything has so much more detail and clarity.

    FYI I have an MSI RTX 4070 12GB OC and the frame generation (for the few games that support it) is awesome. It makes the CPU bottleneck of my old i7 4790k seem to disappear.

    Everything was easy to setup, G-Sync, HDR. The 350 avg nits is plenty bright enough for gaming on a screen barely three feet from you.

    FYI The top of the monitor at max height is 22-3/4" and 18" at the lowest height adjustment. It adjusts easily with one hand.

    The Height Adjustable Stand is spring loaded to the weight of the screen, so don't try to adjust it until it's all together and sitting on a flat surface.

    CON!: OMG the flashing blue LED!

    If you plan to sleep anywhere near this make sure you have some black electrical tape to cover the power LED. It's bright and if the monitor has power, it FLASHES NON STOP unless the monitor is 'active'. (showing an image, not sleeping or on standby).

    The only way to stop it is unplugging the power cord. So be ready to cover it up.

    Update: This is an HDR10 monitor but you won't get the 10 bit color range unless you set the refresh rate to 120MHZ in either the windows display settings or preferably the Nvidia control panel. After some research I learned that it's a physical limitation of the DP cable.

    For best visual performance you should set the refresh rate to 120MHZ in your GPU's control panel then limit the FPS to 118 and turn on G-Sync. Then disable V-Sync in all your games.

    Note: 10 bit color is the point of HDR. 8 bit has been around forever, it's 16.7 million colors. 10 bit is the new stuff and what HDR is all about. It provides 1.07 billion colors. If you push the refresh rate over 120 windows will automatically switch to 8 bit with dithering, AKA Fake HDR.

    PS It went on sale and we just bought a second one.

    Like the title says, this should be a 5* but speakers are dead. I don’t use the monitor speakers but they should work and I had to take a star away for that.

    Overall: The G5 27” is. fantastic deal on a top contender for its price class. 2560x1440 @ 165Hz via DP cable, and 144Hz via HDMI cable.

    The feature I love most about this monitor (and my last Samsung) is the 1000R curve. After using this curve for a few years, I can tell you first hand that the difference in eye strain using this monitor is considerably less for me than flat screens and even other curved monitors. Samsung produces the most models with the 1000R curve as far as I am aware.

    Colors are great, blacks are really good. Games have great depth in the environments and they look so realistic, it’s like a movie in some games it’s so smooth. I’m using a RTX4070 8GB to drive this one which helps with texture quality but it’s still the monitor creating the visual. .

    The menu shstem is pictured. It’s all done in Samsung fashion with a single push to open menu/select option, with joystick navigation Simply pulling “forward” on the joystick opens the volume adjustment slider for easy volume changes, and pull twice to mute feature. Once you get the hang of it, It’s simple to operate.

    I’d recommend it if this is your budget for a monitor. I bought one and put the other on layaway. I wanted to teat this one before getting them both.

    Cuando llegó y la conecte me sorprendió mucho porque a pesar de ser varias generaciones antes sigue siendo muy buena y para videojuegos es excepcional por sus hz altos y la resolución 1440p son más que suficientes y para trabajar es mil veces mejor porque puedes dividir la pantalla en varias ventanas sin perder visión por lo grande del monitor y es mucho más comodo a la vista y es muy elegante y resalta mucho en mi setup :D

    Como programador un monitor de este tipo es excelente, y también lo ocupo para juegos porque mi laptop soporta 2k y 165hz de taza de refresco. En cuanto a brillo tiene HDR, aunque he visto otros monitores con mejor HDR este me gusta porque en lo personal nunca me han gustado las pantallas muy luminosas.

    Loving this awesome gaming monitor!

    Great picture quality, no ghosting, nice features! The fully adjustable stand is handy!

    Note that GSync and the 165hz refresh rate are only available using Displayport unfortunately. I bought this for my high end Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 with RTX 4090 gaming laptop but I was unaware of the limitations of hdmi hookups. After more research it's a GSync limitation and not the monitor's limitation.

    Reviewed in Mexico on July 2, 2023
    Size: 32-inchStyle: G50A (2022 model)Pattern: Flat QHD, 165HzVerified Purchase
    Le doy 5 estrellas por que las merece, les haré una lista de PRO’s y de contras.

    *PRO
    -Tiene pantalla en acabado mate, eso te cuida un poco la vista
    -Es de 32 pulgadas
    -Compatible con GSYNC (no certificado)
    -Compatible con FreeSync Premium
    -Varias opciones de configuración en su menú integrado
    -Buen diseño
    -IPS
    -1ms MPRT
    -No ghosting
    -No smearing amarillo en negros
    -Basicamente para gaming, esports y trabajo es un monitor muy adecuado, digno del nicho de gama media en el que está, y al menor precio en comparación a su competencia directa.
    -Tiene drivers para perfiles de color y no aparece como “Monitor Generico PnP” en Windows
    -Compatible con HDR (no certificado)
    -Desde el monitor puedes cambiar la version de DP y HDMI, lo que le da mucha más compatibilidad
    -Tiene un modo extra para reducir el inputlag
    -Tiene la opción de tener una “mira virtual” sobre el monitor para los juegos FPS
    -La base puede ajustarse para cualquier angulo, altura y posición

    *CONTRAS
    -Si son diseñadores o trabajan con pantones y colores exactos, no se los recomiendo mucho, si bien el widegamut en srgb es bueno, ya en HDR no, de hecho por eso no es certificado y solo es compatible, adicionalmente a mi que no soy diseñador, ni productor de contenido considero que los colores son poco precisos, definitivamente no como un monitor chino, pero si deficientes para ser un panel IPS y para su gama y precio, cabe aclarar que soy cero exigente en ese aspecto ya que lo uso para gaming, desarrollo y trabajo de oficina, asi que el tema de precisión de color no me interesa, aún asi se que hay personas a quienes seguro si les importa.
    -No es certificado GSYNC, solo es compatible, esto significa que el gsync no está “testeado” en la mayoría de las situaciones, y podría funcionar anormalmente en ciertos casos, personalmente no es de preocuparse, yo ya lo probé intensivamente en RE4 remake, Warzone 2, Fortnite y el GSYNC funciona bien.
    -No tiene altavoces, solo entrada para audifonos de 3.5mm
    -El puerto usb que tiene es únicamente para servicio, no sirve para carga, o usar algún periférico
    -Creo que una función interna para balancear blancos y negros por separado es necesaria y no la tiene, si bien con el panel de nvidia puedes hacerlo, creo que es algo que el monitor debería tener, ya que no todos lo van a usar con NVIDIA
    -La base que tiene ocupa mucho espacio en escritorios pequeños, yo tuve que comprar otra, y es una lástima por que la de fábrica era MUY BUENA, aunque sea toda de plástico, era sólida y ajustable al 100%

    ¿Para quién es este monitor?
    Para gamers realmente, a ningún gamer lo decepcionará, ya que tiene todas las ventajas de monitores de gama media y alta, principalmente sin smearing, tearing, o ghosting y favorecer el tiempo de respuesta y reducción del input lag
    Tener en cuenta que si se usa también para tareas escolares o algo no relacionado con la presición del color es buena opción
    Personas con GPU de gama media o superior.
    Incluso para gamers de consola, los juegos compatibles con 120Hz serán una delicia

    ¿Para quién no es este monitor?
    Profesionales del color, como diseñadores o creadores de contenido muy enfocados en la precisicón de los colores.
    Gente que no vaya a usar todas sus ventajas de gaming como 165Hz, 1ms de respuesta y otras amenidades que tiene, por ejemplo si solo juegas cosas no multijugador, emuladores o nada competitivo por este precio te puedes conseguir algo 4k y con prestaciones de color y tamaño mejores.
    Personas que no tengan una GPU de gama media o superior, y no es por elitista o materialista, simplemente que si tu GPU no levanta 144Hz o más el dinero que te gastas en el monitor se estaria desperdiciando y podrias conseguir un monitor 75Hz 4k o algo asi que le saque provecho a tu hardware por el mismo precio o incluso menos, inclusive hasta reemplazar tu GPU por una mejor.
    Para personas con consolas, que no pretendan usar el modo 120Hz o que sus consolas no lo tengan disponible

    Espero que les haya servido

    EDIT: Al día de hoy 1 mes después del review original, e tenido sesiones largas de juego, y no me han molestado los ojos ni e tenido problemas de funcionamiento o pixeles. El monitor físicamente se ve muy bien donde lo puse.
    Eso si, te va a tomar un muy buen tiempo calibrar el color y acostumbrarte. Les recomiendo que si tienen nvidia, solo bajen el brillony activen GSYNC lo tengo asi para Warzone 2 y es una maravilla y los FPS no se ven afectados.

    Por la parte del led que “no se apaga” arreglarlo es sencillo,vayan al menu del monitor, luego a system, luego power led on y déjenlo en Working, despues cuando le den apagar al sistema en la pc, rápidamente aprieten el joystick de encendido del monitor, y seleccionen power off, asi, se queda completamente apagado, si por alguna razón no funciona, nuevamente enciendan el monitor solamente, y repitan los pasos, y ya con eso se apaga

    (Review del Odyssey G55A de 32” QHD del 3 de abril de 2023, 1 día después de probar)
    El equipo está increíble, la verdad, para su primer día, está genial tener un monitor 1440p para todo tipo de juegos, el único detalle que si es importante es que toma tiempo ajustar el color del monitor a uno similar del cual ya estabas acostumbrado.

    Pros:
    -No se nota dispersión o blooming por pixeles en 32”, puedes seguir disfrutando del 1440p.
    -Freesync premium funcional para pc y Xbox Series X.
    -Curvatura ideal para buen ángulo de visión.
    -Colores después de configurar están geniales.
    -Su tamaño y resolución lo hacen ver el cenit para disfrutar de 1440p, pero no te confíes, yo me la lleve leve creyendo que no iba a subir mucho de tamaño a comparación de 24,5” y la verdad si está gigante.
    -Su Linea de alimentación viene desde afuera del monitor, por lo que podrías solicitar el envío de un nuevo cable o alimentador en caso de que el que te llegase tuviera detalles en el momento o a futuro, recuerda que ninguna alimentación debe hacer ruido, todo debe ser silencioso (bendito Amazon el mío está bien y llegó sin problemas, por ahora.)

    Contras:
    -La base con la que viene no está chida, no puedes subir o bajar la altura del monitor, aparte estás hablando de 32”, el sistema de inclinación te pide forzosamente que remuevas las base y con un sistema de presión de 2 tornillos, líberes un poco la presión y ajustes la inclinación deseada y vuelvas a atornillar para presionar y no se mueva de ahí la inclinación, si lo dejas flojo el mismo peso del monitor regresará la inclinación hasta abajo.
    -Los colores son buenos, pero como novato me tomo alrededor de 3 horas el configurar la imagen porque nativamente viene con un color amarillento horrible, al final me quedo un azul ligero espectacular.
    -Al parecer queda por parte del lote que te llegue qué cable de entrada de video te llegará, en algunos casos es un HDMI, en otros es un DP como a mi.
    -Producto comprado desde amazon USA, recuerda que si quieres validar una garantía o reembolso tienes que enviar TODO el producto y por ser desde USA hasta México y viceversa al regreso puede tomar algo de tiempo o puede no ser válida en algunas situaciones

    En resumen:
    Tómense su tiempo para configurar, sigan el manual para instalación y evitar daños, y cualquier pedillo apenas lo prueben no duden en reportar para que puedan validarles un reembolso completo o cambio a otro monitor. Feliz 2023 amigos
