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

The monitor has come down in price and now its one of the best budget options for gaming and ultrawide. The biggest problem with this monitor is the smearing that happens. For non-competitive games, this is not an issue at all. Youre only going to notice this if you look for it. However, when it comes to FPS or other more competitive titles, its going to make a big impact on your performance. I dont dig the aesthetics, especially the fact that the front cutouts are basically just fake speakers. At least there is no red accents so its not too obnoxious. The bezels are OK, theyre not terribly thick but there are many monitors that will beat it. Overall, its a good budget ultrawide gaming monitor. The colors out of the box are off, but can be tweaked to get pretty good results. The blacks are good as expected from a VA panel, but unfortunately like other VA panels it suffers from ghosting.

Overall it is an excellent monitor. Comes in at 144hz but you can easily overclock to 165hz and it stays stable. Samsung has quality products and I havent really had many issues with the screen. I do love the curve and the size of this monitor. Cons: Compared to my 1440p Dell monitor the colors are slightly washed even after adjusting the settings. (Not a deal breaker it still looks good just noticeable against my other monitor) Some backlight bleed through on very dark scenes. Overall 4/5 stars especially because it was only 270 bucks when I bought it so for that price it is well worth it. The G7 is obviously a better model but the price reflects that. For most gamers this model will be more than enough. I dont notice much screen tearing on FPS games or sports games which is nice so the response time is actually what it says it is. I havent had any durability issues as some others have stated in reviews. I however do not use the stand it comes with but a vesa mount from my desk.

It had everything, beside the power cable

Beautiful 1440p ultrawide display @165 hz, extremely happy!!

Perfect for gaming. The deep curve and 165 Hz are the two biggest benefits for me. Games look crisp, and I can now see details that I never noticed before. You will want a decent video card to drive this monitor to its full potential. I use an RTX 3060 Ti and it works great.

If anyone was looking into getting a new monitor, whether it be for a first-time desktop user or a long-awaited upgrade, this is a perfect choice. But there are some important flaws that I would like to point out. First of which is the stand. It is not the type of monitor to have the ability to vertically adjust. You are only restricted to adjusting the angle on the x-axis. Second, the instructions are clear but lack a lot of important details. To my knowledge, it doesnt once say you have to change the refresh rate through its menu. I later found out there was a more advanced guide on google if you just search it up. Im only putting this here because of the inconvenience. The third and final is the amount of space this monitor takes up. I luckily have a very big workspace so I have no problems when it comes to finding space for this monitor. But, if you currently use a small desk something around the dimensions of 28 3/4x19 5/8 or close then you might want to invest in a monitor arm. The base for the monitor is unnecessarily long, so having a small desk can bring up slight annoyances. Those three flaws are the only problems Ive experienced so far. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk.

This is my 2nd G5 monitor, I bought this to use it with another 27 G5. At the very begining the 1000R may be too strong for you but give it a shot, you will get used to it in a few days. In comparison, the Picture Quality of the 27 is slighly better than the 32 model idk why, but you may notice the color scheme kinda different in the photo, both have the same specs, brightness, contrasts, cable etc, the 32 model has a weird but sutil green tone, that cant be fixed in the settings, even if trying to calibrate colors in the RGB section. I managed to calibrate it pretty similar to the colors that I had in the 27 model, but they are not the same, and thats annoying. Another glicht I found was while using Display Port cable, the Low Input Lag function was not available in 144Hz, but I figured out that if you switch to a HDMI cable, it works then you can downgrade the refresh rate to 120Hz, and enable the Low Input Lag, then change the refresh rate to 144Hz and use the DP cable and you r good to go! Another tip that might solve any ghosting issues while gaming is to setup the Gaming Response Time Mode to Fastest

This monitor was a good choice for me because I use it mostly for gaming and it is in a good price range between capable and reasonably priced. The packaging was nice, the monitor looks amazing, and the picture quality for what I paid for is amazing. This monitor has a good picture quality for 1440p, so make sure to remember it is not a 4k monitor so it wont have a lot of depth if thats what youre looking for. I got it up to 144 hertz and it is really smooth and responsive, and the features that it comes with such as FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility have worked very well and they have been very helpful to me. Note to others users if you are thinking of purchasing this: to get the full capability of this monitor buy a display port cable and a nice one. I got a display port cable that was capable of handling 144 hertz at 1440p because they only ship it with a stock HDMI cable. Overall a good monitor with a comfortable curve angle, a high refresh rate, and decent picture quality for a pretty decent price. No regrets with my purchase here, but make sure you familiarize yourself with the stats of this monitor before buying it and do some research to make sure it is what you need.

The monitor itself is great. Its very pretty, big, and works well. However, the stand is cheap and wiggles while Im typing. You can barely adjust it, too. Plus, the monitor makes cracking noises periodically due to thermal expansion.

I didnt know the curved screen would make such a difference. My Grandsons did an awesome job packing our all the components to their gaimg system.
