Onboard speakers dont work, annoying popping sound coming from them

Pros: Its big and has a beautiful picture. Comes with a DP cable. Very light monitor. Bought on sale.Cons: The stand it comes with is not adjustable. The onboard speakers dont work and have and annoying popping sound every 30-60 seconds when first turned on. The popping comes and goes throughout use. Speakers dont pop when PC is shutdown/in sleep mode. Used both HDMI and DP cables, muted the speakers in the monitor, and even disabled the speakers in windows. Nothing prevents the popping.Overall: Big beautiful monitor. Dont use the speakers on the monitor myself so them not working isnt an issue. The popping sound IS an issue and just about a deal breaker for me. Thinking about returning the monitor. Or maybe just run the monitor over with my truck and send it back to samsung in pieces eating the $220 I paid to make a point.Hooked the monitor up to my new laptop. Speakers still don’t work and the popping sound still comes and goes. RMAing this thing tomorrow.

You need a good computer If you are planning on running 165hz

Overall the monitor is great for normal use, you can comfortably use 165hz on normal desktop use. But, if you plan on gaming and you normally reach 60-75fps normally. 165hz will look horrible while gaming, especially in power hungry games.

Best. Monitor. Ever.

I personally am a casual player and don’t need an extremely large monitor to do that. But this monitor is a must have. It has a perfect curve and is built with tech that makes it as good as a TV. I not only outshines all my other monitors with its tech but also with its graphics! The graphics make my gameplay 100% better and it is truly great. The monitor turns on instantly. It is sooo easy to connect to my console or pc. This monitor works great with my console and my pc and can switch between them with a click of a button. This is truly my monitor for the next 5 years and I highly recommend it.

It’s okay

It a good looking monitor on some games but on others I can see some sort of blur to the picture . No 120hz if your on ps5 it doesn’t support hdmi 2.1 only 2.0 it but quick delivery only took one day . The stand also doesn’t really move or tilt . I will move on to another monitor as soon as I can still a great monitor though I’m just nitpicking on thing I’m catching

Pedí el Monitor con dudas de si iba a llegar y lo recibí antes de lo esperado!Aunque si lo retuvo aduanas, lo liberaron dia siguiente.El monitor impegable, tanto para trabajar como para la ps5 funciona muy bien, me hubiese gustado un hdmi extra o mas espacio para la conexión de los cables nada mas.

Make sure its compatible with your system, investigate G-sync vs Free Sync

Great Monitor when you read the specs, however, my laptop that I am using is a Acer Predator Helios 16 which uses NVidia G Synch. The Samsung uses AMDs Free Sync technology. The two do not play well together. While the monitor has a 165 hz refresh rate, the best you’ll get when its plugged into the Acer Predator NVidia Graphics card is 99hz. By the time I figured it out it was past the refund date. I don’t necessarily blame the seller, its just something I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to be aware of. With an AMD system it would work great without a doubt. I’ll most likely buy another monitor that is compatible with the NVIDIA graphics card, and resell this one on marketplace.This is the discussion with my tech “G-Sync is objectively the superior technology of the two, as it works better and offers some extra features apart from adaptive sync. FreeSync, on the other hand, is usually much more affordable, making it the prime choice for the gamers who are on a budget. Both G-Sync and FreeSync are only compatible with Nvidia and AMD GPUs respectively.”

Original arrived visibly broken; Ordered replacement – Good quality, screen flicker

Product arrived with severe visible damage to the screen. Box it was shipped in didn’t appear to have any damage. Refund requested.Ordered a replacement. The screen quality is decent and looks amazing with some games like Eve Online and Dark Souls 3. Most games seem to allow native resolution while some games will require modding.One noticeable annoyance is screen flickering. A stream of lines from left to right, horizontally, will flicker from top to bottom. It seems this is common with this monitor and others from Samsung. A simple power cycle to the monitor fixes the flickering until it happens again, which seems to be whenever the monitor is power cycled again from rebooting the computer or the monitor going idle. Others have found certain settings within the monitor’s on screen menu resolve this issue for them, but I have yet to figure out any combination for mine, hence 4 stars.

Works great but….

…the screen can be damaged very easily. I ruined one already. It was totally MY fault but, be very careful moving this monitor.

Great ultrawide monitor if you can get it under $400

Overall I’m a lot happier with this than an old 4k tv from walmart. Only complaints I have were the lackluster HDR, which I expected only being HDR10, and the color, which was a super easy fix. I just changed was color, I changed it to Cool 2 and set blue to 70 and it looks perfect now. No dead pixels or cracks to speak of, just some scratches on the frame from being a clutz installing it.Unlike what the other reviews say, the power LED can be turned off while the monitor is off, by going into system and scrolling all the way down, it shows “Power LED On”, and set it to “Working,” this will let the LED turn off while the monitor is off. Great for someone who has their computer in their room and likes it nice and dark while they sleep.Going from 60hz to 165 was a massive difference for me, it felt like the image was clearer sooner after moving. The curve isn’t too much, but 1500r would have been nice. I haven’t used it for any FPS games, because I have this installed on a monitor arm on my sim racing rig, but I imagine the experience would be great.As for racing, I think 21:9 is better as it’s a more efficient use of screen space. How often do you look at the roof and dashboard of your car while driving? I don’t look much personally, so I thought I would get rid of the unused space and get my monitor closer to the top of the wheel so it feels more immersive, but also keep a wider FOV to see more on the track.I bought this because it ticked all of my boxes; ultrawide, >100 PPI, IPS, >144hz, 1ms response time, and a nice curve. I would say if you can get it under $400 to go and snag one.

A product to boost your productivity as a software developer

As a software developer, I’m always looking for tools that boost my productivity, and the Samsung 27-Inch Odyssey G55C Curved Monitor has been a game-changer. The 1000R curvature helps me stay focused and reduces eye strain during long coding sessions. The QHD resolution provides sharp, clear text and plenty of screen real estate for multitasking with multiple windows. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time ensure smooth scrolling and responsiveness, which is great for working with complex applications. HDR10 support makes colors more vibrant, which is useful for reviewing design elements and debugging graphical issues. Overall, this monitor has significantly enhanced my workflow and comfort. Highly recommended for developers looking to upgrade their setup.

Good contrast and color in SDR mode

This IPS flat monitor does a good job in SDR mode at its native QHD resolution. I didn’t want a curved monitor. Good contrast and color. As others have noted, it was challenging installing the plastic cover over the rear attachment. Once assembled, the monitor has good height adjustment. One design problem is that the ports are somewhat obstructed by the stand. The ports should have been offset to one side for better cable clearance. Has low end HDR but IPS monitors aren’t purchased for HDR performance. Monitor has Gsync compatibility but no certification. I turned on adaptive sync, 180 Hz, and configured it for both full screen and windowed, with Nvidia CP, but didn’t see any improvement when running Red Dead Redemption 2. Screen tearing still occurred. Had to turn of Vsync in game to eliminate the tearing. Monitor is pretty good value on sale at $280. The normal price of over $400 is too high.

Never buying Samsung monitors again

I had a really bad experience with this monitor. The only reason I leave 2 stars is because of the quality of the image, which is really good.Here is a list of the bad things that I have experienced with this monitor:- The monitor stopped working in less than a year. After some back and forth with support I shipped for repair and they fixed it (Thankfully it broke right before the 1st year, otherwise I would have been screwed).- It NEVER, I mean NEVER switches from one input to another when connected to two different devices. This is a pain because I have a work and a personal computer, and every time I have to switch to one I have to manually press the buttons, which by the way are slow as heck to wake up the monitor.- When trying to select the input many times it does not work and I have to try over and over, it feels like that stupid one button for everything idea is paying off, thanks Samsung!.- It only has 1 HDMI, yes I knew that before buying, but that is unacceptable for a monitor of this price and on these days.I always heard good things about Samsung monitors, but I’m, never buying one again. I’m an IT guy and have never seen a more stupid monitor than this. Usually other monitors image quality is their weak spot, but this one managed to have a good image and ignore all the other details.Do not buy this if you use more than one device, and be aware that it might break in the first year.

Great monitor

This monitor looks and performs fantastically. I had a 27″ G5 Odyssey that I bought in 2021, and that thing was a tank. It survived multiple drops and still performed like new. My only problem with it was that it was slightly too small for my liking.Currently, I bought the 32″ one, and it’s actually bigger than what I need, but I’m not going to complain. Since 2021, I think they’ve updated the screen quality because the colors on this one are actually more vivid in my opinion.Those are my initial observations, but if I think about my older G5, then this should hold up well. There are no problems with my 2021 G5 currently either. I just like the bigger screen.

Insanely Good

Let me start this review by saying: I’ve been a PC gamer for my entire life. I’ve used all types of different monitors… but I finally decided to purchase my first ultrawide monitor just recently. Best decision I’ve ever made.The ultrawide monitor allows you to be fully immersed in whatever game you’re playing, whether it’s call of duty, world of Warcraft, or league of legends. This monitor in particular has a way of drawing your attention to it. I don’t find myself glancing away from the monitor like I did with my 27inch monitors.In addition to that, the detail this monitor portrays is magnificent. I can clearly tell the difference between my 1080p monitor and this Samsung ultra wide. It’s a large difference. I find myself able to distinguish parts of games I’ve never noticed before – such as the layering of clothing on a character, or the depth of color that was put into environments.I can’t say enough good about this purchase. The only con I could possibly think of would be the monitor stand – which isn’t highly adjustable. You can tilt it, but you can’t raise or lower the height, which is somewhat disappointing. However, if the only con I can think of doesn’t even have anything to do with the monitor itself, rather than the stand, I think it’s safe to say Samsung did a fantastic job with this monitor.

Huge monitors, absolutely beautiful display

Fantastic size, and an absolutely beautiful screen. I never realized how smooth 155 hz feels, but don’t think I can ever go back. Take note before ordering these though that the stand to hold these are almost as large as the monitors themselves, and actually stick out a bit more than the screen – I didn’t take that into account, and now need to take it off my monitor stand to stabilize it. Still, fantastic purchase, couldn’t be happier for the price I paid.

Image isn’t bad, cost cutting is

The image quality itself is really good for a VA panel (black smearing still exists, obviously), but the cost cutting shows, and there are a few odd quirks of the monitor.Firstly, and most importantly, the entire casing is hollow plastic and there is little ergonomic adjustment. It feels cheap. You can, in fact, tilt the stand that comes with the monitor up or down, but the range of motion is small and trying to take it off or adjust it will feel like you’re going to break your monitor. Have a monitor arm ready.If you ever get closer than about three feet from your monitor, you will notice the pixels on the edge of the screen will darken. This is noticeable and looks very odd on white pixels. See image.If your monitor is connected to power, even if it’s off, the power LED will blink or stay on by default. There is a setting to disable this, but enabling it will cause problems when your pc goes to sleep, forcing you to either physically disconnect the displayport cable to get your image back, or reboot your pc. There is no other way to fix this.This monitor also pops/clicks intermittently while powered. I don’t know why, nothing is broken, but it happens.The maximum brightness is fine, but if you plan on using it near a window or have bright room lights, it may be too dark.
