SAMSUNG 32 Odyssey G55A QHD 165Hz 1ms FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor with HDR 10, Futuristic Design for Any Desktop (LS32AG550ENXZA)

I got a good deal on this monitor. Wish it would have been complete. Mine was missing the arm for the stand. Seems a bit washed out. But I am not an expert, so a new monitor could be outstanding. Nothing like seeing in person

It is a great monitor, and the price was pretty good. My older son has a larger monitor, which I like a lot better, but it was quite a bit more expensive. Overall, it is a good value.

I had previously had a 2x27 Samsung S27D590P dual monitor setup for about 6 years until one of them gave up the ghost a few weeks ago (backlight across the top went out). So I was finally able to have the excuse to upgrade to a 32 with Freesync. Took at a look at the G7 32 but wasnt keen on the severe curve and seven hundred plus price point, then I found this 32 G5 with the same curve, laugh, but hundreds cheaper. Looked to be pretty new, not too many reviews so I took a flier on it. The 32 wasnt even on Samsungs monitor page yet but it was intriguing. When it came and was opened up it was really light to carry and move around. Installation of the stand was dead simple with just a screw on the bottom you could tighten yourself by hand if inclined. The curve actually helped make the fit on the desk a bit more manageable as it wasnt as wide as it would have been straightened out. It overwhelmed my remaining 27 (see pics) and sat higher being a bigger panel. I connected via Display Port (the second cable worked, the AmazonBasics one caused input drops and eventually put the panel to sleep, very weird, see separate review for that). My 5600XT and its Radeon software detected the monitor and switched Freesync on on the monitor itself. Now my main fun use case for this monitor is playing classic arcade games via MAME which Ive been involved with since 1997. Most golden era arcade games output non-60Hz refresh rates so it was AMAZING to finally be able to play these games without tricks to compensate for the non-standard refresh rates. Things like Mortal Kombat at 54.70684Hz and Pac-Man at 60.6060Hz immediately improved as you could observe smooth scrolling and a distinct lack of tearing. Every game I threw at it played silky smooth, so nice. For other tasks its similarly impressive. If you stay at 100% Windows 10 scaling you can get more headroom onscreen than 1080p as this is a 1440p panel. So far Ive been very happy with the monitor, especially at the sub $400 price point. Recommended. (j4.) [Update 2020.11.09] My other 27 Samsung died also recently (both within a month of each other!) So I bought a second G5 and have them next to each other on the desk in a nice extended curve. Nice to have a matched dual monitor setup again both at the same 1440 resolution. Second panel working as well as the first so far, no dead pixels on either thankfully.

Se siente claramente la mejoría jugando a120fps en la x series pero no deje de sentir que se realizó más sacrificio de gráficos en 4K de la tv de lo que mejoró en rendimiento con el monitor. Aun así creo que vale la pena

Where do I start? I guess Ill do bullet points. - (Be sure to use a fast enough cable to support the high refresh rate and resolution, I recommend DisplayPort 1.4 or higher or equivalent.) - The 1000R curve looks really nice, this is my first curved monitor and from what I read online this monitor has a really aggressive curve so I didnt know if I would like it, but I totally do. - The resolution is good, 3440x1440 is perfect for this size monitor everything looks crisp. - 165hz is just right for my needs, I have a 4080 and when I play Warzone my framerate hovers around 120-160fps when Im using high settings so I dont think Ill be needing a higher hertz monitor. - The monitor control knob at the bottom works well and is a lot better than having several buttons. - So far I havent noticed any dead pixels. - I went from a 3 monitor setup to this 1 monitor ultrawide so my desk would look cleaner. I was afraid I would lose multitasking advantages, but you can still enjoy multitasking by snapping windows to the left and right of the monitor and its big enough to comfortably do so. - I saw a few people complain over the build quality on how its plastic, but I have NO complains over how it feels. I also think plastic was the way to go in order to save weight as I do have it on a monitor arm. (I recommend the ErGear Single Monitor Mount Stand 13-39 Inches Gaming Monitor Arm its the one Im currently using and its great.) Im sure there are drawbacks to this monitor, however to my untrained eye the experience is great, also the price doesnt break the bank.

There’s nothing really I dislike about this monitor for the price. I use this monitor for gaming and I’m very satisfied with its performance. I sit close and it consumes me. I like it a lot

I did a ton of research before buying this monitor and it definitely was worth the purchase but one thing I want to say is the stand is very cheap, it’s very squeaky and wobbly and actually kinda keeps the monitor at a lopsided stance, for this price you would think that they maybe would have put a little more effort into it, I mean it’s literally a push and a twist to get the stand on, so if you’re gonna buy this monitor I recommend getting a wall mount for it, but over all it’s great for gaming by far one of the most impressive performance monitor I’ve bought but yeah the stand is kinda bs.

Muy buena calidad

Got this 32in curved monitor for my sons desk In the basement I built for his 1st real job. Great picture, easy on the eyes being curved,

I got this monitor for the black friday price at $290. I had read plenty of reviews and saw plenty of other monitors, but at this price for a 1440p 32 monitor, I couldnt pass on it. Other reviews said there was ghosting and others said there wasnt so I didnt know what to believe. But at the price tag it was too good to pass on. I was hoping I didnt get a bad panel or something. Pros: There isnt a lot of good to say but here are some. 1. In game the picture quality looks fine and you can look past most of the imperfections, but they could be noticeable in darker scenes and in certain scenarios. 2. My panel didnt have any dead pixels or backlight halos. 3. The curved screen adds to the emersion feeling 4. HDR, but refer to the con of the brightness below. 5. 144hz is nice, but you can get that out of other monitors in this category. 6. Supported FreeSync and unofficial GSync works Cons: 1. There WILL be ghosting, particularly a blurring trail behind darker objects. Strike 1. 2. The peak brightness SUCKS. You will struggle to see things and youll always feel like youre not getting the fullest experience. Strike 2. 3. There is a lot of pixilation even when you are sitting far back enough. It doesnt FEEL like a 1440p monitor, but rather like a decent 1080p. Strike 3. 4. The stand was flimsy, but would do for my needs. But I had older cheaper 1080p 144hz monitors that had way more ergonomic adjustments. This is a con, but I could see how someone could forgive it. But with the other cons, it just adds to the feel bad experience. Strike 4? 5. The ports on the back are barebones. There is no USB 3.0 Hub only a USB Service port for updating the monitor firmware via USB. Your options are HDMI, Displayport and Audio jack. Thats it. HDMI is only 2.0 and not 2.1 and DisplayPort is only 1.2 and not 1.4, but you should still be able to achieve the 144hz on either. I tried to compensate by adding the drivers from the Samsung site, installing a calibrated ICC color profile from RTINGS and messing with the monitor settings to adjust the black levels, brightness, contrast, refresh rate, response time, etc. Some of those things helped, but wouldnt make up for the cons. All those reasons added up and caused me to return the monitor. I would take a hard pass on the G5. I wanted the G7 but there was a $200 gap between this and the 27 G7 and $300 gap between this and the 32 G7. Look for something more reliable and with better quality. Dont believe all the Amazon reviews and check other sites like RTINGS and other reliable youtubers. Research will yield a better result. Dont let a good price tag sucker you into a bad decision. This is an open an honest review from an IT guy and gaming enthusiast. Take it for what its worth.
