About this product
The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a 27-inch QHD curved gaming monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution. It features a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 300 cd/m2 brightness. The VA panel delivers a 2500:1 contrast ratio for enhanced depth. Video inputs include DisplayPort and HDMI. Additional features include a headphone jack, tilt adjustment, and VESA wall mount compatibility. This model is brand new from Samsung's Odyssey G5 line.
Our take
The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a well-rounded gaming monitor. The 165Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth, and the curved VA panel offers great contrast with 2500:1 ratio, making dark scenes pop. Colors are vibrant, though out-of-box calibration leans a bit cool. The 1ms response time handles fast action without noticeable ghosting. Build quality is solid, and the tilt stand is basic but functional—though I wish it had height adjustment. At $215, it's a competitive option for QHD gaming. Just note that the 300 cd/m2 brightness is average; it's fine indoors but not for HDR.
