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

Really like this monitor that I got for my kid. I originally thought the curve was going to be a problem but that definitely proved to not be. It's very responsive and easy to setup. The colors needed a bit of calibration that I got from a review site but after that it looked good. The quality seems really good for the price. Refresh rate is pretty high but my kid doesn't have an ultra high end machine so it can't drive it very often to be honest. Over all though it's a great monitor that is cheap and gets the job done.

This is a great monitor for the price! Nice and big with plenty of screen real estate. Crisp and bright video. I haven't had any reason to complain. I treated it gently until I got it mounted due to some of the other reviews, but once I got it secured on the arm, I have no worries. Treat her gently and she's just fine. The only caveat I have for anyone is to be aware, there are no speakers, so an external is necessary.

This thing is HUGE! I like it! My mac is a Studio M4 max, and everything works plug and play, though there is only one resolution to choose from. You'll be fiddling with the sizes of things. But you'll have amazing real estate! Def a good item which I recommend if you have the system to support it. Get a swivel arm too. Great monitor for the price!

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.

Great monitor overall, but I took 1 star off because: - The power and overall control button is a knob on the bottom of the monitor. If you don't use a stand and are moving, you can't set it down without breaking the knob. Which means you can't change any settings. - When the monitor is in power save mode the little knob has a flashing blue light. Visually, not great, since I had this in my bedroom. - When the blue light flashes, it makes a high pitched noise as well with every flash. So again, not ideal for a bedroom unless you're manually turning it on and off every day. I probably wouldn't buy this one again, even though those are small-ish details.

For the price I paid with a coupon it’s a good monitor but I think there are better options it’s better to pay the extra price

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.

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.
