Review on Samsung Odyssey 27" Curved Gaming Monitor with FreeSync, QHD 2560x1440P Display and Adaptive Sync Technology by Josh Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall great monitor, slight doubts about the colors

This is my first 1440p monitor. I've heard good things about Samsung from various Twitch streamers and decided to try one (the curved 27-inch G5). So far I can only complain about one thing: the colors, especially black. I'm starting to talk about this, I already knew that the new VA panels have black issues. There is no monitor that is perfect for all types of applications. I bought this monitor just to enjoy it while gaming. Watching shows, movies etc when black people are annoying but not to the point where I have to return it or complain about how awful it is online. Is this a good monitor that offers great 1440p performance and high refresh rates? ? Absolutely. Does this monitor deliver great colors? Absolutely. Does this monitor have slight color issues? Yes. do you still like it Yes. I deduct one star for the picture quality, but otherwise 5 out of 5. Great monitor, not super expensive!
