All current shoppers keep in mind there are many different versions of this monitor. The latest 2024 version is the G30D which is 180hz VA panel and supports standard Freesync spec. The previous version is 165hz VA and supports Freesync Premium. The actual differences in Freesync I do not know. But I have the latest G30D working with a GTX1080 with Gsync enabled in the driver.

Are you happy with the GtG response? I like the deep blacks and the only option I have is VA or OLED, which is vwry expensive.

[@45eno]

@@heyyou4499 I don’t notice anything obvious. When I look around at the stars on the sky they do dim when moving around and go bright when stopped. It’s on a secondary pc so I’m not too picky. I paid $100 total for a brand new one locally.

[@From_A_Diverging_Timeline]

Good review thanks. I just ordered this monitor for a 2nd monitor. Should be here tomorrow. I'll be using the main monitor for gaming as it's a lot nicer. But I will use the 2nd monitor for browsing and watching videos. I heard the blacks are good and its good for media.

[@BainCustom]

Yeah, for a secondary the G3 is nice. Wise choice!

[@GamerGius]

for the colors i use the nvidia panel and use some higher color saturation. I'm thinking in changing it bc of the ghosting and motion blur. It's 144, I use 165hz but it doesn't feels like 144 or 165. Yeah, it feels smooth, but all blurry at the same time and hard to see

[@BainCustom]

I did notice the same thing. But for some reason it didn't get in the way of my gameplay. I could see Nvidia Control Panel as providing that extra color pop that the monitor is surely capable of, but doesn't allow for with it's lack of menus.

I was thinking to buy this monitor, the price for it is 140$ rn. Im a competitive player playing a lot of fps games, especially warzone. Is it worth buying?

[@BainCustom]

I guess it depends on what you mean by competitive. Like if you compete, then no. If you want better quality then check out the BenQ EX2510s. But if you mean competitive as in you get really into the games, it is decent for fps and being this cheap.

[@JOKERTHE_BOSS]

[@Bularistan4o]

Gigabyte and MSI offer more for the money, but the Gigabyte design is a bit more gamery. More HDMI/DP ports, 2xUSB ports (there is a Gigabyte model with type-C too and KVM) and a joystick navigation. MSI/Gigabyte does offer 90deg pivot. P.S. Good review.

I appreciate it. I am going to get my hands on some more 1080p monitors early next year. I liked this, but I agree with you..I think there is something better out there with more features. Thanks for the input and i'll see you on the next video.

[@Aiden-xi3uw]

Hi! I apologize in advance for my poor knowledge of your language. I have been using the lg22mp58dp 60-hertz IPS monitor for quite a long time, but my attempts to switch to a 144-hertz monitor with a tn-type matrix ended in failure. I tried to use the hp22x monitor with a tn matrix, but its pale colors terrified me. I would like to buy an odyssey g3, but I don't know how much better its matrix is than tn and whether its colors will be juicy enough.

[@BainCustom]

Hey, I would say your English is pretty good! I totally understand your concern and agree that TN can be a bit underwhelming. If I had to be honest, this Samsung G3 may not be the best monitor for you. Although VA panels typically have good color, I would say this monitor specifically is not amazing. It's better than the HP 25x, but maybe not as good as a higher end 1080p monitor would be. Then again, I may be a bit more picky considering I am used to 1440p and 4k.

[@Aiden-xi3uw]

@@BainCustom Thank you very much for your answer! I choose between the Odyssey G3 and the LG UltraGear 24GN600-B, both versions are 24 inches, my budget does not allow me to consider something more expensive. And the size of my desk can hardly accommodate even a 24-inch display. How difficult it is to choose a good monitor, everyone has some disadvantages.

There is a bit of noticeable motion blur in gameplay. But it wasn't beyond redemption, I think it has a lot to do with the simple overdrive settings. But like I said in the video, none of that really bothered me during gameplay. It was like playing on a budget 1080p monitor.

Can anyone kindly help me? I took the Odyssey g3 today and by connecting the headphones to the monitor (because if I connect to the controller I don't hear anything) I feel great but I can't speak, that is, others can't hear me, I hear them. I'm from Xbox X

[@BainCustom]

Which xbox and what headset? If you are using a headset that is compatible with the xbox, then it will connect either wirelessly to the console or wired to the controller for mic and wireless to xbox for sound. But the 3.5mm on the monitor is only for audio, not for microphone. So check the headset instructions and make sure it is set up properly to the xbox...and make sure it is compatible.

[@StevenOggVIDEOS]

My current MSI monitor has this weird thing with brightness i have been constantly noticing since I switched monitors. The games seem too dark but when I turn up brightness or contrast the games are then too bright. I can never find a perfect balance and was wondering if this monitor has this problem

[@BainCustom]

To be honest, if you like to mess with the settings and change them around, this monitor doesnt have many options for calibration. It's very basic. Maybe look at Gigabyte or LG. Their menus are usually a bit better.

[@sh1zahami]

sorry my little brother on cimputer it wasnt me

[@BainCustom]

I appreciate the feedback and support 100%. my real opinion is that this is a nice budget monitor, at entry level it shines. When holding up to something like the AOC, I am sure sure it will do it for you. I had a good experience, and believe if you are expecting a budget monitor, then you will be happy. But if you want a 10 year monitor...I would look at some of LG's Ultragear lineup or maybe even Acer Nitro. Might have that upgrade feel and better picture quality. Thats just my two cents.

[@BainCustom]

Thanks for the specs. Honestly I would look for something a bit better. The 5700XT is pretty solid and something like the BenQ EX2510S is a better buy.

[@theotherside4939]

@@BainCustom can i go further mobious ex2710s? or will i experience issues? please reply thanks

[@europa1387]

Does it have sound or do you need to buy speakers?

[@BainCustom]

No speakers, but it does have a headphone jack.

Where is ghosting test

How do I connect keyboard to the monitor?

[@BainCustom]

This one does not have that capability. The keyboard would have to go to the PC or console you are using.

[@uconsaa]

can this monitor be mounted on a desk arm

[@BainCustom]

Most can these days. But yes especially this one.

[@KeanuYoza]

so this would run 120fps on xbox series s?

[@BainCustom]

Bro - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOrfZyte6ecmbs I got you

[@Half_Perfect]

Does it support hdmi 2.1?

[@BainCustom]

You would need something like this for hdmi 2.1 to make a difference. With 1080p/120hz and hdmi 2.0 you are maxed out spec wise, therefore hdmi 2.1 wouldn't give you any additional improvements. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6G1pZ1jm9Cbm8U

I just got the odyssey g3 but the audio isn’t working when I don’t use my headset, this is my first monitor so I still don’t know a lot, is there anything I can do to have my audio work?

[@BainCustom]

I am fairly certain the G3 does not have an internal speaker. So you have to use the 3.5 mm headphone jack in order to you get a sound output from it.

[@IndraClapz]

@@BainCustom oh I see thank you very much for the quick response:)

[@leme5639]

This isn’t the best gaming monitor, but it’s the best monitor if your GAMING AND WORKING.

[@BainCustom]

For sure. It's still a budget monitor. In that category I think it performs well. Thanks for the input btw!

[@Master_Blaster_84]

Hello,its have nvidia g sync compatible,or is just freesync?

[@BainCustom]

This one does work with Variable Sync. But it is a Freesync monitor and not listed as Gsync compatible.

[@Master_Blaster_84]

@@BainCustom ok,thank you!

[@richardm584]

is this a good buy for 199?

[@BainCustom]

Absolutely! Yeah 199 is a really good price and where I would pick one up if I were you.

[@loganlmaoo2713]

Can it withstand high graphics on Fortnite?

[@BainCustom]

I personally like the BenQ EX2510S a bit better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4LcYaynp5h6epI It is a bit more, but graphic wise performs really good!

[@loganlmaoo2713]

Ah, thank you I will check it out

[@mikectg470]

Will I get 120 fps with this on Xbox series x

[@BainCustom]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOrfZyte6ecmbs This is my opinion on this monitor and the Xbox

[@sendknudsen]

Hi, im looking for my first monitor to use with my PS4... Is this the best option or should I go with the G5?

[@BainCustom]

Tough answer. Although I would lean toward the G5 for it's advanced menus and higher build quality. Although you won't be upset with either.

[@sulraen]

I wonder if 24inch model is also that good?

[@BainCustom]

Maybe even slightly better because it is a bit smaller. At least technically that is true.

[@sulraen]

I noticed there are a lot of different variations of G3 model, mine is called F24g33tfw, I wander is it the same yoy reviewed, but a smaller one, or a different version with different specs? Anyway big thx for your video and for a Quick response!

[@King_Eke]

Hey man. Please help my life. Would this monitor support ps5 on 120hz with the default cable that comes with it. When playing cod mw2

[@Obama-gn6fd]

Will this work with the ps5?

[@BainCustom]

Of course it will. It won't give full range that the PS5 can provide, but it will give you 1080p with 120 hertz refresh rate.

[@griffin4725]

Hey I recently bought this monitor and it's not showing what's on my PC I know it's not the hdmi cable because it works with my other monitors do you know a fix to this?

[@BainCustom]

What isn't showing on the PC? Like it won't get recognized even though it is plugged in? Sometimes just changing the cable will help with that. It's an odd problem, but I have encountered it.

[@griffin4725]

@@BainCustom lol I took it back to best buy the next day and they couldn't figure it out so they gave me a refund

[@kerrydiaz7783]

would this be a good option as a secondary monitor?

[@BainCustom]

Yes. That's ideally what this monitor would be. Either a starter monitor or a second.

[@theboulder027]

I just got this monitor but for some reason I can't change the refresh rate. The only option it gives me is 64hz, but it's supposed to go up to 144hz. Can't figure out how to fix this.

[@BainCustom]

What system are you using. It could be a restriction of the GPU, you windows display settings or a multitude of other reasons. Tell me a bit more about your setup and I'll see if I can help.

[@CarteWork]

Dude you can't test off of a video. That's what your video caught, not what the monitor can do.

[@BainCustom]

I think video is the best way to test, the human perception is deceiving and not at all accurate. Explaining what I saw in the video is more reliable than just explaining what I am seeing real time with my own eyes. I can break it down frame by frame or what at normal speeds, which is a huge advantage.

[@CarteWork]

@@BainCustom yeah but shutter speed, fps, etc from the camera isn't the same as what the monitor is doing. So there are different perceptions happening.

[@sulraen]

I really like this monitor but Im having an issue with it. When Im playing The Witcher 3 or others game where u can rotate ur camera view freely, when I do this the picture is like changing in gamma and its so disturbing I cant handle this. Can it be fixed? Is it the settings cause, or its just the way how VA monitors works?

[@BainCustom]

Yeah that can be frustrating. I have experienced the same issue on other monitors with similar games. The downside is that this G3 it doesn't have a ton of calibration capability. So when you run into issues like this, there is not a ton of options. You might try dialing in your GPU/Console motion settings. Sometimes capping your frame rate will help with stutter, but not always.

[@BainCustom]

There has been some issue with EDID information on the odyssey monitors too. It could be that while you are changing view, the refresh is causing some sort of delay in information being sent or received by the monitor.

[@sulraen]

@@BainCustom I dont know whats going on with this monitor, but it not working with my gpu while connected by a display port cable that came with the monitor

[@BainCustom]

Interesting. Try any other input sources?

[@sulraen]

@@BainCustom well, it worked on Hdmi, anyway I just made a refound, will look for IPS model. Thx u for ur support!

[@pysly2732]

Does it have a crosshair option

[@BainCustom]

I believe so yes.

[@nigelsiu8303]

does it have speakers?

[@BainCustom]

It does not

[@zyhgar25]

I find it kinda falls in fast RTS's i noticed the motion blur a lot in ashes if i follow a unit they kinda turn into a blurry mess sadly though if the image is relatively still the blur does kinda fit as it's very slight if you don't follow the units.

[@BainCustom]

I think I get what you're saying. There is a bit of black smearing mixed with ghosting. I noticed it on testing.

[@tomroots2468]

dose it come with sound :)

[@sunnykim2887]

Do you have an icc profile for this monitor?

[@BainCustom]

I just have my personal settings. They should be in the video description.

[@sunnykim2887]

@@BainCustom Oh thank you

[@dreamer3520]

Does it have speakers

[@BainCustom]

I don't think so. It is definitely one of their more stripped down budget monitors.

[@MemphisYK]

Question this monitor even tho it’s 144hz I know I would be capped at 120hz cause I’m on series x but will it give me the 120hz full output with HDMI2.0? Or does it need to be HDMI2.1

[@BainCustom]

All you need is HDMI 2.0 and you will get 120hz. Technically HDMI 1.4 will do that as well. But it may not have ALLM or VRR because of the version.

[@gangruns1110]

Do it have built in speakers?

[@BainCustom]

It has a headphone jack. I'll have to double check on the speakers although I think it does.

[@samdoe2823]

I use the monitor to play fifa on ps5 and the screen keeps blurring, any suggestions?

[@BainCustom]

This monitor? Do you have the overdrive on? Are you playing in a downscaled 4k resolution or 1080p resolution and what is the refresh rate? It could be a number of issues. But you want to make sure your overdrive is on and you are getting the best refresh rate the game offers. It may require some additional setup in the menus.
