Samsung’s counterattack did not take long to come and in the mid-range the battle is served, where price is crucial. For this reason and with the help of Amazon, this Odyssey G5 It won’t leave you indifferent, that’s for sure, but is it as beautiful as it is painted?
Samsung Odyssey G5, complete and now cheaper
With this monitor we get a set of advantages that put it above the rest considering its technical characteristics. And we’re talking about a gaming screen that’s a size of nothing less than 27 inch, which houses a panel with a resolution WQHD of 2560 × 1440 pixels which is extremely fast.
So much so that with their 144 Hz screen refresh rate only needs 1ms response time. It may not be impressive if you look at the market, but it is not finished, as it achieves these characteristics with a spectacular curvature of 1000R, we will therefore have maximum immersion in each game, being much more curved than the 1800R monitors, for example.
This curvature according to Samsung manages to better conform to the contours of the human eye, thus improving the visual experience. As for the rest of the panel specs, you get a typical contrast of 2500: 1 and a glimmer of 250 cd / m2, something quite typical of VA panels.
What’s surprising, however, is the fact that being so extremely curved, it achieves HDR10 certification, which closes the circle of overall specs, leaving a gaming monitor more than round.
FreeSync Premium, Flicker Free and Black Equalizer
The features are complemented by the support for the latest AMD sync standard in games, FreeSync Premium, with which and under a GPU from this manufacturer, we can enjoy our games without stuttering and ripping.
In terms of complementary technologies, we have one as important as Flicker free, to avoid flickering and improve our vision on the screen, and of course Black equalizer. The latter will allow us a better view of enemies in the shadows, allowing us to find and see them more easily despite the fact that they are looking otherwise.
As interfaces we will find a Display Port 1.2 and HDMI in version 2.0, where oddly there are no USB ports, although there is a headphone jack. Regarding its weight, we are talking about 4.5 kg, quite light. If you liked it, you surely like its price more, because Amazon lowered its price by 16% to place it at 249.90 dollars. Don’t let him get away!
