Samsung Odyssey G5 Review! One of the Best Budget 1440p Monitors?!

The Samsung Odyssey G5 was somewhat of a silent release as I personally wasn't aware of it until it was brought to my attention from a subscriber but after having problems with the G7 I'm happy to say that this is a solid monitor at a great price point.
*The price has dropped since my recording! It's only 349.99 right now for the G5, 699.99 for the G7 and 1399.99 for the G9. Of course these are subject to change.
From what I'm hearing though most of the problems with the G7 have been solved for most people via firmware updates but keep in mind that monitor is 430 dollars more.
Below are links for the Odyssey monitors as well as the Gigabyte monitor which comes in at the same price point with very similar specs. I didn't want to take up more time with the review to compare the two as I will be doing a separate video covering that.

Doubt you get 1ms with HDR on. 99% of monitors turn all that off when HDR is on.

[@MagiofAsura]

It accepts an HDR signal but it's implementation is total garbage. No local dimming, it tops out at 350 nits when at the very least need to be at 600 nits to be decent and it doesn't have a wide color gamut. It essentially has none of the three pillars of HDR. This monitor isn't even at DisplayHDR 400 which is infamous for being garbage. For all intents and purposes, it doesn't actually display HDR content.

[@Deadite8593]

I've been happy with mine, it isn't perfect but it's a good screen. I've noticed on mine the backlighting has some issues where some areas are brighter in others, but I think that's due to the curve. Other than that I have nothing to complain about, I've used it for 10-12 hours a day as my main monitor for work for the past 6 months and it is holding up well.

[@ellisoth459]

​@@aleisinwndrlen7113 Same here! But it's 2024 :p

[@AdarisTempest]

Owning one of these myself and having played with it for about a month, your review is right on the money. It's a lot of performance for the price, and while it's not the best, it's also priced quite a bit lower than the best. I picked up one of these on Prime Day in 32" for only $296, and for that I feel like it was an absolute steal for all it offers. I feel like the people that would really feel this monitor's limitations the most are also people that are hardcore enough to justify spending more on a monitor anyway. Anyone with reasonable expectations in the $300-400 price range could hardly do better than this.

[@valent0ne]

do you feel like that 1440p its too low for 32"?

[@AdarisTempest]

@@valent0ne It's the exact same pixel density of 91.79 ppi that a 24 inch 1080p monitor is, and 1080p is generally considered adequate at that size. I certainly don't feel like it's deficient in that regard...and neither does Samsung, considering their flagship 32" gaming monitor is also 1440p.

Do you turn it off manually after using it or leave it how it stays after you turn off your gaming system?

Btw to anyone wondering. This monitor works on the Xbox series X, at 1440p at 120hz. I have it and can confirm it. The new Xbox doesn’t let some 1440p 144hz monitors get to full performance (1440p 120hz). This is Microsoft’s fault, but this monitor doesn’t have that issue!

I've had this monitor for three months now and it has been amazing so far! Playing scenic games like Horizon or Read Dead or Subnautica has never looked so good. Unfortunately I can't really make full use of the 1440p res and 144hz refresh rate due to my gpu (I'm using an RTX 2060 so running smoothly on that res can only be done on less demanding games like Valorant or Overwatch etc. so for the newer games I have to bump it down to 1080p). Oh, and since this is 32" wide, it's an absolute knocker for movies too. And after watching this video, I got an ever better satisfaction now that I know I've bought the right product. Thanks so much 1 Up!

[@FlickFlag]

@Aleis in Wndrien You should've gone with the 27" version for 1440p, as the 32" version will have lower pixel density at 1440p thus making the image look blurrier. Every resolution has a sweet-spot in size (typically 1080p - 24", 1440p - 27", and 4k - 32" and up, respectfully).

Currently, the Dell S2721QS model comes with a price of 250 euros and the S3221QS model 350 euros. Which one would you recommend considering this situation? My only concern for 27 ”is the scaling problem of Windows, so if I use it at 150% because the texts are too small, will my image look worse than the 4K 32 inch model? Or will it have a disadvantage? Or as an IPS panel or VA panel, which is the better choice for a quality display? Otherwise, should I pay 100 Euros more and go for the 32 ”model?

Great review love the information and comparison addressing so very important topics. I have a question if you are still around. Question: What is the actual input lag / refresh rate on G5 and G7 as some tech videos on some monitors it says 1ms but actually center of the screen its 20ms/21ms, is this actually 1ms? or have they produced this number from one small area of the screen for example the corner or top of screen producing that where as in the middle its more like 20ms?

Any idea if this monitor will do well connected to a galaxy book pro for website design and Adobe illustrator?

When I connect the Google Chromecast via hdmi instead it presents dark tones that make the image unusable, even by raising the maximum brightness and contrast, which are practically not working in this case.

It won’t do HDR. From what I’ve been told from someone using this with the series x the 120 at 1440 with VRR works though. Hopefully in the future Microsoft does an update for 1440p hdr suppport.

[@hermespsychopompos8267]

I just ordered this monitor at 230€ without second thought. I'll keep it at 120FPS or I might even create a profile at 90FPS because I play all my games with VSync enabled. By the way, 1440p is for 27 inches top. Bigger monitors provide less PPI which sucks, blurry font rendering. The pure perfection is 27 inches at 2160p resolution, but you need an extreme GPU. It almost touches modern mobile phones clarity and the ~150 ppi is more than great in comparison to 90-110 we usually get at this price point.

Is this a good replacement for a two-monitor setup? In the office my wife and me both work with 2 screens but at home the two-monitor set up just looks hardcore on our small PC desk. I've been thinking of getting this and get rid of the two 24"s , if I can do like a split screen thing using just 1 monitor.

[@1UpNerdcore]

A 34 inch ultrawide would be a better replacement for two 24 inch screens. This can do PiP and PbP if I’m remembering correctly but it still will seem off compared to the 2x 24 inch screens.

[@Dynamike117]

One thing I'd add is that since this review was made, you actually CAN play 1440p on PS5 now it's this monitor if you have the most recent firmware update.. it will downscale the 4K signal to 1440p.. the only catch is that it also downscales FPS to 60hz with the PS5 so it's not ideal. Might as well get a 4K 60hz at that point.. Other than that, thank you for this review! Super helpful and very detailed!
