This monitor sounds great to have next to a G7 as second monitor mounted on a arm that doesn't need the same level of performance, but still looks the wholesome together with a G7.
Just found your channel because I'm purchasing this monitor for myself and the tech giants didn't have any reviews for it. Glad to see a smaller youtuber who put as much effort into this video as a tech giant would, great review and hope to see you grow more!
@@steezyfrz6570 pretty good so far, i love the range of colors, and for someone who isn't as exposed to higher quality displays I love it. Totally would recommend to someone in the midrange market.
I've bought two of them, and coming from dual 1080p 60hz monitor I found them great for the price. I couldn't find any other monitors that was curved 1440p 144hz for a cheaper price, plus I plan to eventually go to a triple monitor setup by adding the G7 and having monitors with the same curve would be great. I aggrege nothing special but a good addition to the budget 1440p 144hz curved monitor line up. Edit: I also do recommend a monitor arm, but I would put an arm on almost any monitor regardless of quality.
I've got two of what I assume are the previous model, the Odyssey C32JG56. Started searching for a third, going for flight and space sim (esp. Star Citizen). Couldn't find a third JG56, even as used, and was gonna order this one (I have been wishing to find a JG56 to maintain the same curvature, 1800R, of the monitor setup). G5 is more curved (1000R) than I'd prefer. But, then I came across the Gigabyte M32QC. It is quite similar in specs, only better. Or, so I've been reading. And less aggressively curved (1500R). Price is about the same so I am now thinking of choosing Gigabyte over the G5. Besides, the G5 design does feel cheap, just like the JG56. I only got two of the JG56 as the price was right, Black Friday deal a couple of years ago.
When you started comparing to Mercedes-Benz I understand exactly what you meant. I'm subscribing just because of that car comparison alone. Besides the fact that the rest of the video was great.

I bought this monitor and it isn't very good the picture quality is amazing especially compared to my old TN but the smearing and ghosting is insane doesn't matter what overdrive setting is used
Since most gamers are upgrading to 1440p monitors (or looking to as it's the sweet spot between image quality and smoothness )i think 1440p is the go to resolution right now and would definitely like to see more 1440p monitor reviews .

@@ND-ku4yo Unfortunately I don't have it yet. I ordered it from a web store and will get it next Thursday, or something like that. But what I've found out about the monitor, it's a good choice. Especially if you're on a tight budget like me.
@@og_sane Okok, sounds nice! My biggest concern is now if the HDRfunction will work on next gen consoles, planning on getting a PS5 later (not that HDR is super important but it's nice to know it will work some how) Cant find anything about it online, mostly about the G7 :(
@@ND-ku4yo Yea that's true, there's not enough info on the net about the G5. Of course the G7 would've been even better monitor, but it's just way too ecpensive right now. Hopefully you'll make the decision before the discount's are over :) Good luck and I still think G5 is a good choice. And about the HDR, just gotta hope it'll work on PS5, because I'm also gonna buy it at some point. Have a nice evening.
1440p 144hz is great for the series S. No fancy features which isn’t a big deal for only $300. This is one of the best/only options to choose from for $300 or less. It’s very bare bones but it gets your foot in the door. Besides I’ll be way too busy gaming to worry about the outer hardware
I'm thinking about buying a 144hz monitor, and on my country this one is 230€. Before finding this deal, I was going to buy a 179€ ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ. Is it worth the extra money? Thanks in advance. PS: G5 is also the cheapest 1440p 144hz monitor right now in my country.
Being incompetent in competitive gaming isn't something that can be fixed by buying a more expensive monitor. You blame your own failure on the monitor's speed. You are nitpicking so much. You are like: My car, which I bought for half the price, is not as fast as expensive cars, so it's bad... You are waiting for flagship performance from a product that is not. If you want a flagship experience then just go and buy a flagship product. This is a budget product and it's doing its job very well.
What you said about the response time kinda worried me about buying the monitor. I personally am buying this just to do schoolwork and competitive VALORANT and maybe some other FPS games like Cold War/Warzone. I have a budget of $250 and just looking for a 144hz monitor that is 27inches and the rest doesn’t matter. Would you recommend getting this since it’s on sale rn, or something else?
it has 1ms response time, which is top tier for the price. Its also 229 now on bestbuy, I heard samsungs shipping is sus so I bought it from bestbuy instead plus protection plan if you need one. Im a console player tho so these specs are perfect for series x I think. Freesync to match game fps and hz higher than 120 which is the max of the series x anyway.
I needed a monitor better suited for fast paced shooters than my AW3418DW and bought the VG259QMY after seeing your review and I love it. I just discovered the AW2721D though and it looks like the best of both of my monitors in one. Would love to see a hands on review of this one from you! 27 inch 1440p 240Hz IPS 1ms in "Extreme Mode"
Thanks for the information. Very in-depth yet straight to the point. I do everything but do not like contrast levels of IPS nor TN panels. I game but not competitive I usually play single-player experiences. I usually use a calibrated Samsung TN panel or my big 4k VA hdr tv for media editing and content creation. I guess I'm getting this mostly for gaming and utilizing the full capabilities of my console and PC hardware.
i had the version before this, its call LC27jg50, i not sure whether this G5 is supposed to be an improvement over my model but honestly i had good experience with my unit, but its my first high refresh unit and i jumped from 60hz 1440p monitor, the different in motion clarity was big for me, i improve so much in my fps game
Thank you, but not everyone plays fast twitch FPS. So we have to sit through a dozen reviews centered around that type of play to hear in the last 10 seconds of the videos that it will be great for casual games.
lol this is weird , you’re being very biased and comparing to monitors double its capabilities…. If you’re going from 1080p 60hz 1ms, to this, you’ll notice a huge difference. Compared to a monitor worth 800$ ? When this one is worth 350? Ofc the 800$ monitor makes this one look mediocre
@@GranPuba it was on sale at Samsung. Sometimes they have sales. I’ve had my eye on it for awhile. You just gotta keep checking to get the deals. Best of luck.
So what would you recommend for me the Odyssey G5 or the Gigabyte G27Q? The G27Q have an IPS Display with 1440p, 144hz, HDR400 and 120% sRGB, 85% Adobe RGB and 92% DCI P3
i know you are a busy man working already on projects and what im gonna say wont look very appealing but there is a new monitor that i couldnt find any info besides the manufacturers that is , its released less than a month before its the AORUS FI25F, 240 hz IPS 1080p that claims super fast IPS 0.4 response time. but from my understanding and reddit searching its like the KD25F but upgraded to the latest techs. with black equalizer aim stabilizer and all that they also brag about their VESA 400 HDR. LOL just something to have in mind :)
But then the (G50A)G5 Odyssey came, a FLAT one.. and it blows this one away. One of the best 1440p 165Hz ips there is up to today, and it even accepts 4k 60Hz ;) It is close to perfect. (yes even for fast pace games!!) no black smearing or w.e.
I own this monitor, its perfect for a 1440p 144hz monitor under £200 which I paid on a early Amazon black Friday deal. Also is G-Sync compatible with Display Port cable.
@@madiimad The G-Sync compatibility settings are part of the Nvidia control panel, as long as your are using a display port cable and have a compatible GPU the setting will show inside the control panel
Question to people, who bought this monitor and have nvidia graphic card. Does amd freesync works good with nvidia gpus? I've heard, it can cause some problems like flickering
Are there any monitors that you would recommend for competitive gaming at this price point? I was looking at this monitor but knew the specs were too good to be true.
Haven't used a nipple button yet , but they seem terrible to use imo. One or two quick hard buttons must also come with monitors for things like source , contrast/brightness modes. Great video 👌
In my opinion, the nipple is the best form of navigation. A lot of monitors don't label the buttons from the front so you have to guess which button does what. Also it's always a pain in the butt when adjusting the picture. I can never remember which button is up, down, or select. The nipple makes it easy because it's pretty much a d-pad.
I’m likely gonna be using this mostly for less competitive games/story mode, Witcher GTA etc, I have a 1080p monitor I use for competitive so this seems perfect for me
I bought this a few weeks ago and man I regret it so much, its dark, and that motion blur smearing is very noticeable if you play fast paced games as Bijan mentioned. I ultimatley returned it and put my BenQ montior back in place and realized HOW FUCKING GOOD BENq monitors are.
I'm sure most people can agree this monitor is perfect for people who play games after work and also watch TH-cam. Even if you game seriously- were talking about milliseconds here. I've played on 10ms monitors and tv's and then played on 1ms. It's MINIMAL. 300 for a high refresh rate and high resolution. Cmon. Build quality is just stupid to talk about... bro sit it on your desk and thats it.
I play games like CSGO - FIFA 21 - R6 - COD I am confused about the Samsung Odyssey G5 2K 144HZ Or ASUS TUF VG27VQ 27 "FHD (VA) 165Hz FreeSync Curved Gaming Or Asus TUF VG279Q1A 27 "IPS Full HD 1ms 165Hz G-Sync & FreeSync What do you think ??
Good stuff as always. Love the monitor reviews, I can understand them and enjoy them at the same time. A monitor I'd love to see you review is the dell s3220dgf. Its also a curved beauty.
I just bought the 32" 2k 144Hz G5. First impression was pretty good, amazing curve, good 144hz, nice overall. Then I entered a dark area in a game... When moving in a dark/grey scene, the screen is TOO BLURRY, completely unplayable. I was playing Metro in BF3, when I go to room with poor light, cant play, is like being drunk in GTA. I have tried everything to mitigate this. I am very dissapointed with this G5, is a shame bcs i love the curve, but this HUGE amount of blur and ghosting is not acceptable in a 400$ monitor. I AM GOING TO RETURN THIS to the store. Looking right now between 2 LG displays, an IPS (27GL850-B) and a VA (LG 32GK650F-B)
I got my G5 odyssey from samsung directly at an unbeatable price at $86 lol. Yes you read that right. $86! I have to wait until February when it ships. If you have a samsung phone and you use samsung pay. You get rewards points and if you have their debit cart from sofi you can get an addition 30% on most products stackable with any sales going on. I can show anyone my purchase.
Hey Bijan! I've been subscribed for a while but I just wanted to say thanks for the great content. One thing I wish you and all content creators, critics, reviewers etc. would include are your biases or context. In other words, you can put something in the Description of your videos about yourself, how you typically use the type of products that you review, and what you are not or not into. For example, you can say that you used to be a diehard FPS gamer and almost went pro, you typically game and edit videos on monitors, you're not a spec freak like HW or GN, and you're not that concerned about certain secondary features like viewing angles (seriously, why is this even a consideration on any monitor below 32"?!). Context like this will help your viewers better judge what you're saying and showing against their own biases and contexts, especially viewers who are not familiar with you. For example, wouldn't it be nice to know what games a game reviewer usually plays in their personal time, and what factors matter and don't matter to them?
Sorry to say but I think this monitor is terrible. And I am not talking about the non existing ergonomics, they colour display is so bad, I can not stand sitting in front of it for more than 15 minutes. I was never picky with monitors that's why I chose one on the cheaper side but this is just bad. My video title would be it's not great, it's terrible
....Now in 2024 this monitor is still available and has dropped in many places to pre-holiday pricing of $259, making this a great deal; at B&H they have an add'l $20 off this week making it just $239 - WOW!! Yes there are better monitors out there, but a 34" 1440p for $239 is an awesome price-for-value!
It’s brilliant for games having 120 fps is really useful I’m happy with the gaming side of it but when I’m watching stuff it’s really pixelated I don’t know if I have bad settings tho
Helpful review. Thank you. This is most likely the monitor (the 379$ 32 inch variant) I will be buying in the next handful of weeks. It won't be my primary viewing device. It's strictly for my Xbox Series X and the native 1440p/120 fps support. Have a Samsung QLED TV for everything else.
I'm thinking about buying a 144hz monitor, and on my country this one is 230€. Before finding this deal, I was going to buy a 179€ ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ. Is it worth the extra money? Thanks in advance. PS: G5 is also the cheapest 1440p 144hz monitor right now in my country.
I think I bought the newer version or asia spec version (I'm not sure) of this for roughly $175 on sale, I don't think at that price point I can complain about build quality or design considering the specs it provides. PS. Reason I think its newer version is cause mine came with DP 1.4
Bijan what is the best 240hz IPS (1080P) monitor for gaming? I have watched all your reviews but all monitors has pros and cons and I don't know which one to pick.
Nice with the price its at for the 32 inch how long will take for me to get used to the curve? Just wondering since I have never used a curved display before. :)
I don't care about how well it's build or how well I can adjust it, I'm just gonna put it on my desk and not touch it

Just gone from 2 x Asus 32" curved 1080p 144HZ to 2 X Samsung G5 monitors and wow what a difference! highly recommend.
I"m thinking about buying this today, but the lack of height adjustement got me thinking twice. It's now on sale at 250€ while 350€ being the normal price.
Just wanted to came back and inform yall that I did end up buying the monitor. Hopefully a good choice.
@@og_sane let me know what you think?? Maybe getting it today..:/ cant decide
@@ND-ku4yo Unfortunately I don't have it yet. I ordered it from a web store and will get it next Thursday, or something like that. But what I've found out about the monitor, it's a good choice. Especially if you're on a tight budget like me.
@@og_sane Okok, sounds nice! My biggest concern is now if the HDRfunction will work on next gen consoles, planning on getting a PS5 later (not that HDR is super important but it's nice to know it will work some how) Cant find anything about it online, mostly about the G7 :(
@@ND-ku4yo Yea that's true, there's not enough info on the net about the G5. Of course the G7 would've been even better monitor, but it's just way too ecpensive right now. Hopefully you'll make the decision before the discount's are over :) Good luck and I still think G5 is a good choice. And about the HDR, just gotta hope it'll work on PS5, because I'm also gonna buy it at some point. Have a nice evening.
1440p 144hz is great for the series S. No fancy features which isn’t a big deal for only $300. This is one of the best/only options to choose from for $300 or less. It’s very bare bones but it gets your foot in the door. Besides I’ll be way too busy gaming to worry about the outer hardware
You’re able to achieve 120 fps on the Series S?
@@Terr0rB1lly depending on the game, and whether they focus on video quality or performance.
@@Terr0rB1lly true and only if whatever you play it on is capable of 120 hz at minimum
@@samuelmoryosef372 Nice!!
I'm thinking about buying a 144hz monitor, and on my country this one is 230€. Before finding this deal, I was going to buy a 179€ ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ. Is it worth the extra money? Thanks in advance. PS: G5 is also the cheapest 1440p 144hz monitor right now in my country.
It's probably goood but you rich bois expect the best.
So this monitor is "you get what you pay for" which is comparable to Samsung's mobile phone offering.
Went with the G7. Good videos bro.
You should review 1440p monitors for PS5, we need to know what to buy to get the most from PS5 performance.
A TV.
Then you would not want a 1440p monitor at all since the PS5 doesn't support it. You need to check out 1080p@144hz or 4k@60hz panels.
Ofc, what would you expect at that budget? Titanium Stand or something? They have to cut money somewhere right?
Now I'm feeling pretty good that I got this for $260 seemed like a good deal!
Lool you actually did the G5 review, dope!
It made me so happy that you used Escape from Tarkov as a test subject! it's like the only game I play!!!
You are very good at what you do. I am impressed. Top tier quality video. Subbed
Being incompetent in competitive gaming isn't something that can be fixed by buying a more expensive monitor. You blame your own failure on the monitor's speed. You are nitpicking so much. You are like: My car, which I bought for half the price, is not as fast as expensive cars, so it's bad...
You are waiting for flagship performance from a product that is not. If you want a flagship experience then just go and buy a flagship product. This is a budget product and it's doing its job very well.
Nice review! I definitely think you should do more 1440p high refresh rate monitor reviews, as that's the sweet-spot for AAA gaming right now. Cheers
i upgraded from a old 24" 1080p monitor to this, i got the 27" Odyssey G5 on sale for 1900kr (190$), great review! 😊
i remember why i hate buying a new monitor. the upfront research gives me ptsd
just ordered mine from bestbuy today, got it on sale for 229.99, lucky me. Thanks for the review.
Me too!
@Billy Mays PC my dude
@Billy Mays the only thing bad about this is the ghosting as far as I can tell from reviews. It runs 1440p and 144hz and has good color.
What you said about the response time kinda worried me about buying the monitor. I personally am buying this just to do schoolwork and competitive VALORANT and maybe some other FPS games like Cold War/Warzone. I have a budget of $250 and just looking for a 144hz monitor that is 27inches and the rest doesn’t matter. Would you recommend getting this since it’s on sale rn, or something else?
it has 1ms response time, which is top tier for the price. Its also 229 now on bestbuy, I heard samsungs shipping is sus so I bought it from bestbuy instead plus protection plan if you need one. Im a console player tho so these specs are perfect for series x I think. Freesync to match game fps and hz higher than 120 which is the max of the series x anyway.
@@1208KenyonM alright thanks for the clarification man.
dude great videos I'm happy to see your blowing up
I needed a monitor better suited for fast paced shooters than my AW3418DW and bought the VG259QMY after seeing your review and I love it. I just discovered the AW2721D though and it looks like the best of both of my monitors in one. Would love to see a hands on review of this one from you!
27 inch 1440p 240Hz IPS 1ms in "Extreme Mode"
Definitely would like to watch more 1440p monitors reviews.
Thanks for the information. Very in-depth yet straight to the point. I do everything but do not like contrast levels of IPS nor TN panels. I game but not competitive I usually play single-player experiences. I usually use a calibrated Samsung TN panel or my big 4k VA hdr tv for media editing and content creation. I guess I'm getting this mostly for gaming and utilizing the full capabilities of my console and PC hardware.
i had the version before this, its call LC27jg50, i not sure whether this G5 is supposed to be an improvement over my model but honestly i had good experience with my unit, but its my first high refresh unit and i jumped from 60hz 1440p monitor, the different in motion clarity was big for me, i improve so much in my fps game
Thank you, but not everyone plays fast twitch FPS. So we have to sit through a dozen reviews centered around that type of play to hear in the last 10 seconds of the videos that it will be great for casual games.
lol this is weird , you’re being very biased and comparing to monitors double its capabilities…. If you’re going from 1080p 60hz 1ms, to this, you’ll notice a huge difference. Compared to a monitor worth 800$ ? When this one is worth 350? Ofc the 800$ monitor makes this one look mediocre
Nice editing especially with the film montage on the monitor.
I'm using your channel for buying my new monitor for my pc. I have seen this and the 240hz acer predator monitor review. Very indepth. Keep it up
I only payed $276 for it. Incredible price when on discount.
Great in depth review. I pulled the trigger and got one for under $250. It should be here next week. Def earned a sub.
Where?
@@GranPuba it was on sale at Samsung. Sometimes they have sales. I’ve had my eye on it for awhile. You just gotta keep checking to get the deals. Best of luck.
@@JamesTechJackin thanks 👍
So what would you recommend for me the Odyssey G5 or the Gigabyte G27Q? The G27Q have an IPS Display with 1440p, 144hz, HDR400 and 120% sRGB, 85% Adobe RGB and 92% DCI P3
U can forget about the hdr in that monitor but I would recommend the gigabyte one
It's like 220 dolars in my country, it sounds like it's worth it
Got a g5 months back and to me the picture just looks terrible. How much better is the picture quality on the g7 compared to the g5
I can’t wait for you to hit 100k!
I bet before the end of 2021
i know you are a busy man working already on projects and what im gonna say wont look very appealing but there is a new monitor that i couldnt find any info besides the manufacturers that is , its released less than a month before its the AORUS FI25F, 240 hz IPS 1080p that claims super fast IPS 0.4 response time. but from my understanding and reddit searching its like the KD25F but upgraded to the latest techs. with black equalizer aim stabilizer and all that they also brag about their VESA 400 HDR. LOL just something to have in mind :)
But then the (G50A)G5 Odyssey came, a FLAT one.. and it blows this one away. One of the best 1440p 165Hz ips there is up to today, and it even accepts 4k 60Hz ;) It is close to perfect. (yes even for fast pace games!!) no black smearing or w.e.
Damn, this was sooo perfectly explained AND executed !
I own this monitor, its perfect for a 1440p 144hz monitor under £200 which I paid on a early Amazon black Friday deal. Also is G-Sync compatible with Display Port cable.
how? the settings only show Free-sync. can u explain please? thanks and if so, how good is the gsync integration?
@@madiimad The G-Sync compatibility settings are part of the Nvidia control panel, as long as your are using a display port cable and have a compatible GPU the setting will show inside the control panel
me: oh monitor i can afford
bijin : It's not Great, But it's Good
me: cat cry meme
this is the best review on this screen u can get wow thank you
Ah yes the king is back
Which one do you suggest among these Samsung odyssey g5 vs Prism PRISM+ XQ340 PRO?
Question to people, who bought this monitor and have nvidia graphic card. Does amd freesync works good with nvidia gpus? I've heard, it can cause some problems like flickering
This one isn't officially supported but you can still enable G sync on it. It just gives you a warning that it's not a supported monitor.
Are there any monitors that you would recommend for competitive gaming at this price point? I was looking at this monitor but knew the specs were too good to be true.
If you don’t know what monitor you need for your ‘usage’ then trust me that this display is more than enough for your competitiveness.
Haven't used a nipple button yet , but they seem terrible to use imo.
One or two quick hard buttons must also come with monitors for things like source , contrast/brightness modes.
Great video 👌
In my opinion, the nipple is the best form of navigation. A lot of monitors don't label the buttons from the front so you have to guess which button does what. Also it's always a pain in the butt when adjusting the picture. I can never remember which button is up, down, or select. The nipple makes it easy because it's pretty much a d-pad.
@@nokia6800 ofcourse 🤣🤣🤣 you are biased cuz u r a nokia 6800 👀👀 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Mashburn007you got me there. I forgot that phone also had a nipple lol I guess I'm m just a nipple guy 😅
@@nokia6800 heheh 🤣🤣🤣 that's alright man , i just never had an interaction with a nipple 👀 so.... May be i would like it and see your point when i do
I’m likely gonna be using this mostly for less competitive games/story mode, Witcher GTA etc, I have a 1080p monitor I use for competitive so this seems perfect for me
I bought this a few weeks ago and man I regret it so much, its dark, and that motion blur smearing is very noticeable if you play fast paced games as Bijan mentioned. I ultimatley returned it and put my BenQ montior back in place and realized HOW FUCKING GOOD BENq monitors are.
I have a question: if I lower the refresh rate, let's say around 60hz, do I remove the ghosting?
I'm sure most people can agree this monitor is perfect for people who play games after work and also watch TH-cam. Even if you game seriously- were talking about milliseconds here. I've played on 10ms monitors and tv's and then played on 1ms. It's MINIMAL. 300 for a high refresh rate and high resolution. Cmon. Build quality is just stupid to talk about... bro sit it on your desk and thats it.
I play games like
CSGO - FIFA 21 - R6 - COD
I am confused about the Samsung Odyssey G5 2K 144HZ
Or ASUS TUF VG27VQ 27 "FHD (VA) 165Hz FreeSync Curved Gaming
Or Asus TUF VG279Q1A 27 "IPS Full HD 1ms 165Hz G-Sync & FreeSync
What do you think ??
I’d go for Odyssey.
Ultimately, wit those options you’ve got lined up, pick your poison.
Good stuff as always. Love the monitor reviews, I can understand them and enjoy them at the same time.
A monitor I'd love to see you review is the dell s3220dgf. Its also a curved beauty.
Can you do top 3 monitors for each resolution you have reviewed?
I just bought the 32" 2k 144Hz G5. First impression was pretty good, amazing curve, good 144hz, nice overall. Then I entered a dark area in a game...
When moving in a dark/grey scene, the screen is TOO BLURRY, completely unplayable. I was playing Metro in BF3, when I go to room with poor light, cant play, is like being drunk in GTA.
I have tried everything to mitigate this.
I am very dissapointed with this G5, is a shame bcs i love the curve, but this HUGE amount of blur and ghosting is not acceptable in a 400$ monitor.
I AM GOING TO RETURN THIS to the store.
Looking right now between 2 LG displays, an IPS (27GL850-B) and a VA (LG 32GK650F-B)
Which monitor did you end up with?
I got my G5 odyssey from samsung directly at an unbeatable price at $86 lol. Yes you read that right. $86! I have to wait until February when it ships. If you have a samsung phone and you use samsung pay. You get rewards points and if you have their debit cart from sofi you can get an addition 30% on most products stackable with any sales going on. I can show anyone my purchase.
Hey Bijan! I've been subscribed for a while but I just wanted to say thanks for the great content. One thing I wish you and all content creators, critics, reviewers etc. would include are your biases or context. In other words, you can put something in the Description of your videos about yourself, how you typically use the type of products that you review, and what you are not or not into.
For example, you can say that you used to be a diehard FPS gamer and almost went pro, you typically game and edit videos on monitors, you're not a spec freak like HW or GN, and you're not that concerned about certain secondary features like viewing angles (seriously, why is this even a consideration on any monitor below 32"?!).
Context like this will help your viewers better judge what you're saying and showing against their own biases and contexts, especially viewers who are not familiar with you. For example, wouldn't it be nice to know what games a game reviewer usually plays in their personal time, and what factors matter and don't matter to them?
Sorry to say but I think this monitor is terrible. And I am not talking about the non existing ergonomics, they colour display is so bad, I can not stand sitting in front of it for more than 15 minutes. I was never picky with monitors that's why I chose one on the cheaper side but this is just bad. My video title would be it's not great, it's terrible
Best picture settings?
....Now in 2024 this monitor is still available and has dropped in many places to pre-holiday pricing of $259, making this a great deal; at B&H they have an add'l $20 off this week making it just $239 - WOW!! Yes there are better monitors out there, but a 34" 1440p for $239 is an awesome price-for-value!
To be far a lot of your points only apply to PC gamers for PS and Xbox a lot of the features it “lacks” aren’t even accessible through consoles
It’s brilliant for games having 120 fps is really useful I’m happy with the gaming side of it but when I’m watching stuff it’s really pixelated I don’t know if I have bad settings tho
Helpful review. Thank you. This is most likely the monitor (the 379$ 32 inch variant) I will be buying in the next handful of weeks. It won't be my primary viewing device. It's strictly for my Xbox Series X and the native 1440p/120 fps support. Have a Samsung QLED TV for everything else.
I was unsure but after you mentioned the nipple I bought it. I cant wait to play with the nipple
That was sick 10:22 !!!
Whos watching? 2024 i love this monitor its great i use for my xbox series x playing pubg
hey bijan can you make a video about
*LENOVO LEGION y25-25* ? it has
advertised:
-240hz
-IPS PANEL
- 1ms response time
and its only *$320*
I'm thinking about buying a 144hz monitor, and on my country this one is 230€. Before finding this deal, I was going to buy a 179€ ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ. Is it worth the extra money? Thanks in advance. PS: G5 is also the cheapest 1440p 144hz monitor right now in my country.
Coming from a 1080p 60hz ips panel from 2015, I'm still under the assumption this is a big upgrade, ghosting or not. Is that a safe bet?
Yes massive upgrade.
I think I bought the newer version or asia spec version (I'm not sure) of this for roughly $175 on sale, I don't think at that price point I can complain about build quality or design considering the specs it provides. PS. Reason I think its newer version is cause mine came with DP 1.4
is it good for minecraft?
It’s good, we bought it and very happy with it
Bijan what is the best 240hz IPS (1080P) monitor for gaming?
I have watched all your reviews but all monitors has pros and cons and I don't know which one to pick.
Nice with the price its at for the 32 inch how long will take for me to get used to the curve? Just wondering since I have never used a curved display before. :)
i bought the g5 32" and its great totally worth it i bought it for 350eur
