Samsung 27 Inch Odyssey G5 QHD Black Gaming Monitor with 180 Hz Refresh Rate, 1 ms, VESA DisplayHDR400, Ergonomic Stand - (LS27DG500ENXZA) [Canada Version] (2024)

I purchased the immediate predecessor to this model (LS27AG500PNXZA) on July 12, 2023. After about 13 months of light use, it developed a display error (intersecting vertical and horizontal line with a bright green patch of pixels in the middle). It is still useable, but come on, really? It was a perfectly serviceable monitor until then, but it seems almost too good to be true (for Samsung) that the device would fail without warning almost immediately after the warranty is up.

Muy dinámico lo que necesitaba

I bought this monitor after looking trough a lot of research and comparations, in the end i decided for this one due to its price and spec, almost a blind buy since i couldn't find any other reviews outside the amazon website, but i have to say im very happy with it. Overall, the monitor has a very steady structure, i love that you can adjust inclination and angle of the screen, It feels steady and strong, so im pretty sure it's not going to break no matter how much you move it. Perfect for watching movies when you're laying in your reclined seat. As for the screen, the colors are vibrant, bright and very beautiful. I don't know a lot about HDR, but having it on in this monitor feels like a dream. I had never played a videogame with HDR on so i was impressed very much when i tried one. It's just so much better than not having it on (on some games only, it really depends on how much effort the devs put on the feature of the game). I love this monitor, and i really would love to put a 5 star rate on it if it wasn't for two major flats it has. For some reason, having the adaptative sync off appears to completely destroy the color balance and makes the colors look very saturated. Whites look burnt out and blacks look grayish, more than what is usual on an ips panel. It's a very big issue since not all the games play well while having it on, and sometimes it causes some imput lag that isnt normal when having native Vsync activated. On top of that, it has some VERY bad default calibration settings. i spent nearly 2 hours adjusting them and i had to go trough a lot of tools and articles online to finally find the perfect settings. I know this can happen when you have outdated gpu drivers, and i think that was part of the reasons why i had this problem ( i had to completely reinstall all the graphics drivers ion my pc and after doing it fixing the problem was a lot easier) so don't put a lot of importance on this one since it could've been my pc and not really the monitor, but do consider you might have to adjust the settings at the very least a little when you first install it. However, if you don't mind touching it a bit to get the colors right or you dont game at all, this monitor is Perfect for you and it's a 100% worth it, especially on discount.

Awesome, good graphics, the setting layout is cool as well, all in all good monitor.

I grabbed this monitor to use as a vertical monitor since the stand allows it without having to buy another monitor arm. I haven’t used it for gaming as it just has my twitch chat up and such but it would be pretty good I would assume since the specs suggest that. Got it on sale and would highly recommend.
