Product Information

So, there you have it, our comprehensive review of the Samsung Odyssey G5 (LS32AG550) – the latest refresh of their hugely popular G5. The only question left to answer is, does this monitor showcase good value for money? And it’s hard to say no. While the G5 doesn’t offer a great deal in terms of inputs, it still brings enough functionality for several devices. Users can expect 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x USB 3.0, and a 3.5 mm audio input.

The G5 does in fact support HDR10 content, however, with poor peak brightness, there was no real benefit to using this. The maximum brightness of the monitor was around 300 nits, resulting in a fairly weak HDR experience. This was experienced across both gaming and content consumption scenarios. As we just mentioned, the Samsung G5 features an anti-glare matte coating with 3H hardness. Many modern displays utilize this particular coating, offering excellent light and reflection mitigation. That being said, due to the curved nature of the display, fingerprints can be quite problematic. It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. AMD FreeSync Premium - Effortlessly smooth gameplay. AMD FreeSync Premium features adaptive sync technology which reduces screen tearing, stutter, and input latency. Low framerate compensation ensures every scene flows seamlessly We wasted no time and decided to calibrate the monitor to see just how accurate we could make it. For the best accuracy, we used the following RGB values 45/45/50.

Samsung Odyssey G5: Specifications

response time - Make every move count with a 1ms response time. Screen pixels change colors with near instant response, enabling fast-paced action to flow with real-world accuracy. Your on-screen performance is as swift as your own reflexes. All inputs can be found at the rear of the panel, alongside VESA mounting holes and a thin grill for general panel cooling. Build Quality

As you’d expect from an entry-level monitor, the G5 doesn’t feature the best build quality on the market. For a start, the G5 is made almost entirely from plastic – giving the display a fairly flimsy feel that is riddled with wobble. The stand fixes into the main body of the monitor but doesn’t feel robust in the slightest. Make every move count with a 1ms response time. Jump on enemies as soon as you see them and stay ahead with precise mouse movements. Your on-screen performance is as swift as your own reflexes.

That said, the bottom bezel does display some Samsung branding and triangular design features. Stand Users will also be able to fully adjust the color of the monitor, with options for RGB tweaking, brightness, contrast, and sharpness available. That said, when considering the price (and some of the competing alternatives), it’s hard to be too harsh on the Samsung Odyssey G5. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly curved gaming monitor, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Looking at the physical gamut graph, you’re able to see where the Samsung G5 gamut falls short in the three respective spectrums. Overall, while the colors aren’t terrible, they’re not exactly spectacular either – but that’s to be expected from a monitor of this price point. Maximum And Minimum Brightness Overall, I feel Samsung has produced a decent entry-level monitor here – offering good gaming performance and decent levels of immersion when considering the price. Out of the box, the Samsung showcases a 165Hz refresh rate, OK colors, and FreeSync support – enabling the panel to produce a tear-free visual experience when gaming.

The wide V-shaped stand is fairly simple but does offer a cable management solution – something we’ll touch upon shortly. The rear of the monitor has been equipped with a textured striped finish that is fairly unique. Like always, I started off by loading our favourite game, CS:GO. While this isn’t everyone’s cup of hot brown, it is a competitive title with fast-moving images – meaning we should get an excellent idea of the G5’s responsiveness. In addition, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to have better performance.
