The last six months have seen a mess of pricing for the 34-inch Odyssey G5. The Ultra-wide QHD monitor went above $300, then $350, and even almost broke the $400 mark before beginning a return to better pricing. Thankfully, that’s where we are now, with the lowest price the monitor has seen on Amazon since April. The current price? A more likable $250, which is a good deal for what this monitor offers.

Why we like the Samsung 34-inch Odyssey G5

A nimble gaming screen

The Odyssey G5’s 165Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time may not be the quickest available at this price. However, it is nimble enough to enjoy fast-action and cinematic gameplay as long as you’re not an Esports or ultra-competitive online gamer. A fluid 165 frames per second in QHD isn’t to be sniffed at.

32-inch display with 1000 curve

A 32-inch monitor may feel too big for some users, but with a 1000R curvature, the screen moves into your peripheral vision for a comfortable and human field-of-vision-matching immersive experience. Playing games and enjoying content like this adds a new element of enjoyment.

Good for media creation

Beyond gaming, this HDR10-supporting monitor could be a good pick for creating content and media, not just consuming it. The quality and clarity of the display are praised by owners and Amazon reviewers, and it may even be a good pick for daily use – if gaming isn’t all you want a monitor for.

What to consider before you buy

The larger screen and 1000R curvature are the standout features, but there are some further points worth considering for this monitor. For one, you cannot adjust the stand beyond a slight tilt. So if ergonomics are important to you, our best gaming monitor list may offer better alternatives. Additionally, if you prefer something faster refresh rate-wise, there are standard 27-inch non-curved monitors that can deliver.
