Is the Odyssey G5 good for competitive gaming?

Yes. Its 165 Hz refresh, 1 ms response and FreeSync make fast shooters feel responsive. The VA smearing in dark scenes is its main weakness for competitive play.

Does the 1000R curve bother you for work?

It depends on the task. Spreadsheets and documents look fine once you sit centered, but straight lines and wide windows can feel distorted at the edges.

What connections does it have?

It has one DisplayPort and one HDMI input, plus a headphone jack. There is no USB hub or built-in speakers.

Can I mount it on a monitor arm?

Yes. It has a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount, which many owners use because the included stand only tilts.

Is it worth choosing over a 27-inch 1440p monitor?

The 32-inch screen gives a bigger, more immersive picture at the same resolution, so text is slightly less sharp. Pick 27 inches if you sit close and want denser pixels.

It accepts an HDR signal, but brightness and local dimming are limited, so HDR looks close to standard mode. Do not buy it for HDR.

Our take on the Samsung Odyssey G5 WQHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor 32-inch

The Odyssey G5 is Samsung's 32-inch 1440p gaming monitor with a steep 1000R curve that wraps the screen around your view. It runs at 165 Hz with a 1 ms response time and supports AMD FreeSync Premium for tear-free play. The VA panel gives deep blacks and strong contrast, but viewing angles and dark-scene smearing are weaker than on pricier IPS or OLED rivals. It suits gamers who want an immersive, fast 1440p screen on a budget more than color-critical work.
