About this deal

Calibrating the Samsung Odyssey G5 is beneficial since you can lower the dE average to 1.16 which is considerably better. However, we don’t think paying for a colorimeter is worth it since the screen looks great even if you only apply a few tweaks. The gadget is only advisable if you are designing or creating content but buying a higher-tiered model specific for that use is a better path. Even so, if you’re not sensitive to ghosting and just play fast-paced games casually, the response time speed won’t be an issue for most users. Added that the Samsung Odyssey G5/G51C S27CG51 is a similar monitor with a faster Response Time at its max refresh rate.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 only goes up to 99% sRGB coverage which is decent for a gaming display, but underwhelming compared to the other Odyssey models. Color accuracy out of the box is decent since the DeltaE average sits at 2.89. It isn’t perfect for editing or creative use, but gamers will be hard-pressed to notice the errors. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Changed the name to the Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T to be more consistent with other Samsung monitors. Simply put, you get the same detail clarity as you would on a 24″ 1920×1080 monitor, but on a much larger screen and with a bit more screen real estate due to the higher resolution. Further, because the screen is bigger, you can sit a bit further from it, making individual pixels less distinguishable from one another. What’s the bottom line? The Samsung Odyssey G7 set a high bar for pixel response time performance regarding VA monitors, which leaves a somewhat bad taste after reviewing the G5 series.The Samsung C32G55T has a very low input lag of ~4ms, so you won’t be able to notice any delays between your actions and the result on the screen. This model is also slightly smaller and lighter than the G7 variant since it doesn’t have the same stand. However, it is still chunky from the side since it has a 1000r curve which is considerably deeper than all the other curved monitor options in the market. The base takes up more space than what’s necessary, but it gives the slightly larger monitor more footing.

In case you’re wondering: what is G5’s key selling point? The main feature of the Samsung Odyssey G5 monitors is the steep 1000R curvature. However, while some people will absolutely love it, others might despise it. Generally, it just takes some time to get used to it. The Samsung Odyssey G5 is also made mostly of plastic, but it feels solid and reliable overall while wobbling is minimal. There are no cosmetic defects on the monitor and its plastic panels don’t feel thinner compared to its premium siblings. The only weakness in this aspect is the hinge on the stand which isn’t firm enough to hold the monitor permanently when it is angled downward. Next, the Samsung Odyssey C32G55T supports 8-bit color depth for 16.7 million colors and it covers ~100% of the standard sRGB color space. Unlike many VA gaming monitors, there’s no wide color gamut support.

Design and Features

Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. One of the main weaknesses of the Samsung Odyssey G5 is it only offers tilt for ergonomics, so you have to exactly center it to your seat to get the most out of the curved screen. Thankfully, it has VESA bolt holes, unlike the C27RG50 which is excellent for gaming, but severely limited in this regard. You can use a VESA mount, but the high placement means that the center of gravity is off so it can tilt down if the arm isn’t tightened properly.

The Samsung C32G55T features a 31.5″ sized screen with a 2560×1440 Quad HD resolution, which results in a decent pixel density of 93 PPI (pixels per inch).Other settings in the OSD menu include the standard image adjustment tools such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); The Samsung Odyssey G5 doesn’t have speakers, but that’s ok since its immersive aspect is amplified by using a good pair of cans. Most of the monitor’s intended audience will opt for the latter or speakers since they will be able to provide the oomph necessary for entertainment. A built-in pair would enhance the value per dollar, but it’s hard to argue here since the product already quite affordable for a 1440p variant. Display and Performance
