Today I’m checking out the Samsung 27” Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF / LS27FG500SNXZA) — a 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor that’s on sale for $349, and honestly… it’s kind of a steal for what you’re getting. It’s 180Hz, 0.03ms gray-to-gray, HDR10, and it supports G-Sync and FreeSync. I’ll be real though: the stand feels pretty flimsy and plasticky. The good news is the panel is the whole point here, and the OSD is super easy to use (I left it on default on my Mac because it looked great out of the box). This is also the first matte QD-OLED I’ve ever used. I usually prefer glossy, so if you’re like me that can be a potential dealbreaker — but at 1440p, I actually think matte helps smooth the image a bit since pixel density is lower. The big win is QD-OLED color: I’m seeing 98%+ DCI-P3, awesome contrast, and no gradient banding like I’ve noticed on some W-OLED panels (yep, even on the LG 5K2K at times). For creators doing photo/video/graphic design and casual gamers who want smooth motion without murdering their GPU, this monitor punches way above its price.
