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

The cable the monitor comes with is an HDMI cable, instead of a DisplayPort cable. This would be fine if this was a 60hz refresh rate monitor, but it is 144hz, which the cable this comes with doesnt support. If you want to make use of the full product, make sure to pick up a DP cable along with this, so you can actually use the 144hz you pay for.

I bought it for the speed and comparability to the Play Station 5. I love the curve design. Feels like you are almost surrounded by the game. To find a QHD that size and great Samsung quality for way less than $400.00 is very rare. I am very happy with it. Thank you

Ive been searching for a curved 32 inch gaming monitor for quite some time now, and until recently, most options were priced out of my range. In particular, the Samsung Odyssey G7 seemed like my ideal holy grail monitor, but at holy grail pricing. So when Samsung released a pared-down version in this G5 recently, I took notice. The G5 takes the essentials of the G7 and drops the extras. You lose the quantum dots with true HDR 600 support, 240hz, lose the adjustable stand, the RGB, and the extra USB ports. That sounds like a lot to sacrifice...but what youre left with is a gaming monitor that is reduced down to its essentials, for under half the price. You still get 1440p, a low response time especially for a VA panel,144hz--which still is more than enough for most people--and the 1000R curve in a 32 inch monitor. Reading some of the reviews about ghosting, I was a little apprehensive as I have personal experience with VA panel ghosting and know what to look for, but out of the box and with a little setup, that apprehension is unfounded. When the monitor is set to 144hz with Freesync enabled, there is, to my peception, essentially zero perceptible VA overshoot over on BlurBusters. The little UFOs are as crisp as Ive seen on any other good 144hz panel. Theres none of the dark overshoot typical of VA panels present. The panel behaves more or less like its more expensive brother did at 144hz, where it had zero ghosting, and then the tiniest bit at 240, indicating to me that 144hz is this technologys current sweet spot. If I had to suspect, the issues other reviewers encountered might have to do with disabling Freesync and setting the monitors response rate to overdrive mode. I have yet to ever see a VA panel that DOESNT ghost in their overdrive setting; even the mighty G7 and G9 suffer from it. Its best avoided. Overdrive is necessary to reach the advertised 1ms response rate, and you get a drop to 2-3ms response times when you let the monitor manage itself, but thats still class-competitive and only perceptible to a professional-grade, hardcore gamer. And if youre one of those, why are you buying this panel? Setup was easy. My Nvidia drivers recognized the monitors capabilities right out of the box, setting the correct resolution and refresh rate and automatically enabling Freesync. The on screen controls are very easy to use, and it has some helpful features like crosshair overlays that I probably wont be taking advantage of...but theyre nice to have. If I have some criticisms about the monitor they would be that the stand does lack any real adjustability to it. Youre left with just a bit of tilt, though you do have a VESA mount to install your own mounting solution. Also, while the HDR looks supririsingly good in my testing, the lack of full Freesync Premium Pro means youre left choosing between HDR -or- Freesync, rather than using both simultaneously. I didnt buy this monitor for its HDR, but its something to note if thats a selling point to you. Finally, the elephant in the room: the curve. I personally like it quite a bit, but I come from a similarly-sized, less aggressively curved monitor, so I adjusted quickly. If youre coming from a flat panel, you may have issues with it. After while, I think most will come to appreciate the edges of the monitor being brought to the same distance from their eyes as the center in a monitor of this size. At the same time, I can understand its a dealbreaker for some. In the end youre left with a gaming monitor that has everything you need but very, very little extras. If I could knock half a star off for the not-quite-realized HDR support and stand, I would, but balancing it with the $370 MSRP and the fact I scored it for $295 on Prime day, I cant in good faith pull a full star from my rating. Once a product is that far removed from flagship monitors in price, you cant reasonably expect a full flagship experience. But to get the essence of that experience at this price is, to me, closer to a 5 stars than anything.

First off, Id like to say I got this for about 400 dollars hence why I am calling it a budget ultrawide monitor. Great monitor for the price I got it for though. While it does have noticable motion blur like almost any other VA panel at this price range, it isnt terrible. The ultrawide experience though is something else. If you can get this thing for 450 or under, buy it. Trust me ultrawide monitors are a completely different field compared to standard monitors, even if this isnt as large as a g9, it is still beautiful with its curve and feel, youll never want to l go back to a regular monitor after this.

Ive had this monitor for over a year now and I have not had an issue. Im actually only writing this review because Im about to purchase another one. I have to say though, I chose the Flat style and not Curved however the monitor that I received is curved. I see now that it shows curved in the title, but under style selected shows Flat. Due to this, I received the wrong item but I chose to keep it anyway. Just beware.

The monitor was great, for the time that I had it but I have a cautionary take for you if you get one and it arrives with an issue like mine did. Also just as a side note I do not normally write reviews. So, my monitor arrived and all was well. Put it on my triple monitor arm and started to use it, it was so nice and I liked it a lot. After I was done I went to bed but in the morning when I woke up half of the screen was dark, the back light died/was dying. I ask amazon if I can exchange it for a new one and they said no, but Samsung can repair it for you for free! WOW! So I send my monitor to samsung, this was on 3/6/2021. After WEEKS of waiting I get told yeah we arent going to fix your monitor OR send you a new one, we are just going to refund you. After more time of waiting I just wanted the monitor again so I bought the monitor again before ever seeing my money back from samsung. I just got my money back in my account today, 4/27/2021. Almost 2 full months for a simple refund, if I knew it was going to be a refund to begin with I would have just returned it to amazon and gotten my money back 2 months ago. TL;DR : DO NOT SEND INTO SAMSUNG FOR REPAIR OF YOUR PRODUCT, if you bought it from amazon just return it to amazon.

It had everything, beside the power cable

i gave 5 stars because that is the rating this monitor deserves... the seller, not so much... it took a while, but i finally understood the difference between QHD and 4K.... in laymens terms, QHD (1440p) is NOT the same as 4K (2160p)... the sellers sales pitch made it seem like QHD and 4K are the same thing... this monitor is QHD, and i bought it thinking it was 4K... also, this monitor only costs $400, and a samsung actual 4k monitor with the same features and specs as this one costs $900+. which begs the question: where does the extra $500 go??? why is there such a BIG difference in price between QHD and 4K?? anyways, this is a great monitor, but i can really do without the trickery from the seller...

High resolution and frame rate for a great picture, frame rate, and ultra wide screen for occasional gaming.

Noticed crescent shaped defect out of the box. I didnt notice the 2 dead pixels until a contrasting color was on screen. Im very disappointed with this mainly because this is my SECOND samsung monitor with a manufacturer defect AND dead pixels. I also recently purchased a samsung G7 32 inch (the much nicer and MORE EXPENSIVE model) and it had a line in the screen and a dead pixel. Im very disappointed in the QC with these orders.
