Samsung Odyssey G6 LS27BG650EUXXU 27″ Curved Smart Gaming

It’s a really great monitor but if you intend to pair it with a ps5 and play on 120fps, it’s advisable to still install a firmware update from Samsung support website.
It’s still a great product regardless.

First the curve is not that bad visually. How is affects content is another story. I primarily purchased this for HDR on Xbox, unfortunately the monitor must be 4K to enable HDR so wasn’t useful for intended purpose.

The Samsung G7 Odyssey is hands down the best monitor I have ever tried. Although it utilises a VA panel, the black smearing is non-existent, a real win for Samsung. “Adaptive Sync” (which covers both g-sync and free-sync) is excellent, with neither having and problems with flashing, stuttering or tearing. The refresh rate (if you can run that high) truly makes a difference in almost every game I have played, coupled with the low response times and input latence really make this an excellent choice for gaming. After a short period you also stop noticing the curve, it just feels incredibly immersive as you play.
In terms of video, TV and movie watching, it really knocks it out of the park once again. The high contrast ratios pared with the almost perfect out-of-the-box coverage of sRGB colours makes watching anything on this monitor a real dream, with beautiful blacks and bright, popping colours.
If I had to cherry-pick, and find something I didn’t enjoy about this monitor, it would be it’s HDR. With a rating of HDR600 I didn’t really expect anything all that impressive, and I was right. Colours feel washed out and pale, brightness feels uniform, and the blacks are worse here than on sRGB. This is partly due to its backlighting and mediocre local dimming zones. My panel does have rather noticeable “backlight bleed” which can be distracting if staring at a black image. But I was playing fast paced, bright games, so I had no issues here.
Overall this monitor is not the best in the world, it certainly has its issues, but if you can find this on sale down by 50-100, then I can hardly say no to you buying one. Excellent picture quality, refresh rate, colours, response times and ergonomics make this a great choice for the enthusiast gamer or content creator. Well done Samsung.

I’ve ordered a brand new monitor but instead I get it with one of the parts broken, although it is nothing major but I would still prefer receiving my items as brand new since I paid for it. But other than this little mishap, the monitor is grea

Just what the headline said. It’s a great monitor for gaming and other content consumption. The curve really does feel very natural and is very comfortable to view. HDR makes the colors pop and is just such a delight. The only downside for this monitor is that the viewing angles aren’t great so it’s not good for watching movies as a group. But if it’s used just as a monitor, you can’t go wrong with this one. 🙂

Best Monitor I’ve had. Not 4k but a good resolution that won’t hammer your graphics card, HDR works really well considering it’s not an OLED. After a little adjustment to colour games looked stunning.

I thought that 32″ curved would be too large for me but I am surprised thats ist actually perfect size for my everyday tasks. The picture clarity is brilliant and my son plays gaming and he loves it.
Good build quality.

I bought the 32″ G7 for use with my gaming PC and was not disappointed. 32″ seems to be the sweet spot for gaming, big enough to sit back with a controller and play shooters but not so big you can’t get up close with a wheel and play driving sims or mouse and keyboard play for RTS games (or for those that favour M&K anyway. I actually moved from playing on a 4k monitor to this one which is 1440p and I can barley notice the difference graphics wise, in fact my 4K was 28″ and I prefer the bigger 32″ 1440p look to be honest. Great refresh rate especially with the included display port wire (it was a little short I had to buy a longer one), COD Warzone and F12020 runs like hot butter. My only real complaint and something to note is there strange distance of the mounting holes, they’re not 100×100 or even 7575, more like 7545 which is weird so finding a mounting system other than the stand included in the box is challenging as they’re not your standard vesa mount.
