Love the monitor, feels bigger than it should be or rather seems so. Quality picture, no complaints at all with anything screen wise.
My only issue is, like some people online after searching about the issue, that its such a heavy monitor it self tilts back down from where you tilt it (for your eyes or whatever). I had to remedy this with some card and jamming it in the back where it tilts. No issues since but for the price you would think the monitor would have things like this covered. (basically a crap stand).
Elsewise 5* just remember you will likely have to do something about it tilting back constantly.
Great quality, colour accurate, just overall amazing for gaming and video
Editing debating on getting a second
Has been a decent monitor (owned 11 months) but the black smearing in games can be annoying – things like the Borderlands games for example or particularly bad.
Loving it, screen is amazing, but only 1 issue.
Screen cable what came in set didn’t work properly, and the port for it didn’t work fairly good, so had to use HDMI instead.
Home Office to replace a aging 32″ monitor. After being persuaded from alot of my gaming friends to go for a curved monitor I do not regret this decision.
Honestly a little worried as this screen is a little cheap but I think its because the resolution isn’t as high as other models. Honestly, very, very happy with my purchase. Playing games on this is amazing. Working on thsi is amazing. I brought this to replace a 4k 27 inch monitor. But 4k at that size is too small an unusable. This is the perfect mix of higher than hd resolution and size of monitor for me.
Would highly recommend
Hooked the display up to my pc using displayport. I run an RTX 3070ti and made sure g sync was activated in the George control app. Pictur quality is excellent, so far I’ve played Sniper elite 5, COD MW2 and Vanguard all games are running high or ultra graphics settings with dlss and hdr activated and I have been blown away by sheer vibrancy of the display. No tearing or glitches and a large viewing area make games really immersion. So glad I bought it.
First time purchase of a curved screen monitor so it was inevitably going to be more impressive when used for the first time but myself and my son literally just said ‘wow!’
Picture out of box is incredible. Best I’ve never had on a pc. Do alot of video editing in Adobe premiere. This has allowed my to have more content on screen and really speeds up the editing process by at least 50% even on a gddr5 GC with only 8gb it runs so sweet.
No dead pixels picture is perfect in every way for me, and the reduce strain on eye function was a blessing as mostly use it in evenning
Not tried gaming yet as only bought for editting
Using the menu was easy, overal use of the navigation stick was like scroll and click like an R3 on PS Pad. But does feel cheap and blocky, clunky but does the job.
Bad
Stand is crap and cheap with no adjustment however cable tidy on back in is a nice touch
Audio: none, just a headphone jack. Just feel angry at this one it obviously has a type of soundcard or it wouldn’t have a headphone jack, so feel a bit robbed
Screen besel
No gap at bottom, 10mm left-top-bottom
Thought was an issue at first then realised it standard
Amazing monitor will stick wit the odyssey
I have had this monitor for around 6 months now, so here is the real review
The monitor is amazing for work and gaming with the 165hz screen it makes your old 144hz screen just that little bit better
The 100R curve is really nice and not sure if I could go back to flat screens now
Nice feeling stand and universal monitor arm holes too
Easy to adjust screen settings
Perfect for replacing 2 separate monitors and you no longer want the black bar in your view
34 Inch screen is just big enough compared to the 44 inch which is huge
Happy days, Pricey, but aside from the stand you get what you pay for!
Caveat: use a VESA mount. the stand that it comes with is really utterly crap, very weak plastic. I guess it does the trick but if you’re playing games and moving your arms on the desk, your monitor is going to be dancing all over the place. Bad show from samsung, and this loses a star on “value for money”, otherwise it would be 5 star throughout for me.
At this price point the monitor is wonderful. I’ve experienced no major light bleed, light spots or colour differences. The curve is quite strong but you will be used to it within 1 week. Great for gaming and very immersive. Tip for those who can’t get screen on after it enters sleep mode: long press the power button underneath for 3 seconds. Can’t fault it, it’s changed the way I game and work!
This monitor really shows off the Xbox series x, 120fps with 1440p is delicious
I originally bought this monitor from Curry’s but from the get go I experienced issues with it flickering and a couple of dead pixels so I got this as a replacement and what a different experience. I highly recommend this monitor for it’s fantastic colours and great image quality and very nice button control and very easy set up.
Great value for money and makes such a difference for gaming it’s like night and day from a 4K tv.
Really great monitor, light and sturdy, plus looks great at 165hz.
his fitted perfect into my set up size was great picture quality is very good for gaming crisp and clear love i
ice monitor for gaming is worth the money I’ve always wanted a curved monitor but window reflects on it where I have the monito
EPIC performance, just be sure your GPU can handle WQHD resolution at 165hz.
My intel onboard video only supports WQHD at 50-60hz … i need to upgrade my laptop now
2. Base is bad plastic, no adjust in any axis. Quality is so bad though that feels like screen could move a bit on the base (but it’s like it bends)
3. Picture by Picture mode is a great idea, you can choose sound source between two, and do a minor screen adjust between them. It could use more features there though, like even ratio between pictures.
Also expect PbP to have both images dropping to 60hz (from 100 or 165hz)
4. Transition from HDMI to DP is really clanky and takes time.
5. The curvature is THE BEST I’ve seen in any curved screens. I actually saw some that totally made me not want to go curved. The 34” curved Odyssey 5 is JUST right. Amazing ratio for my field of vision.
6. Gamingwise this is FAST. No input lagging, freesync works (hope the nvidia equivalent works too on my new pc soon). I’d definitely go for this one instead of a 4K UHD with 60hz refresh rate.
7. THough it has SUPER thin bezels, you can’t FILL the screen all the way (or at least I haven’t found an obvious way to do so).
Great pace of kit I was not disappointed only problem is the stand is a bit flimsy but as I am using a HUANUO Monitor Arm Height-adjustable, Gas Spring Arm 360 Rotatable for 13 to 32 inch Screen, 2 Mounting Options, with HDMI Cable its no problem fantastic
Not the best screen for the PS5, but ideal for PC users.
I also bought a VESA mount, as all the bad reviews about this monitor, were around the stand, just get a VESA mount movable arm right away, then there isn’t a problem.
Contrast: that’s where VA panel is good at, very high contrast possible.
Ergonomics: a disaster, terrible stand, nothing adjustable.
Curvature and ultrawide: just marvelous, incredible for playing games. The eyes are able to see this wide. Those peripheral retina cells detecting motion are there all the time, so it feels super natural to have this extra width. The experience feels more immersive and makes sense.
Notes: At first I had problem connecting to my PC, after downgraded monitor DP version to 1.2, it then worked.
