A top-tier gaming monitor that exceeds expectations in every way!
By Vkusna on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
The SAMSUNG 27" Odyssey G65B is hands down one of the best gaming monitors I’ve ever owned. If there were an option to give more than 5 stars, this product would absolutely earn 7! From its stunning QHD resolution to the ultra-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, this monitor has redefined my gaming experience. First, let’s talk about the display quality. The QHD resolution combined with HDR 600 creates incredibly vibrant and lifelike visuals. Colors are rich, blacks are deep, and the contrast is outstanding. Whether I’m playing fast-paced shooters or exploring immersive RPG worlds, the level of detail and clarity is second to none. The 1000R curve pulls you into the action, making gameplay more immersive and natural for your field of vision. After hours of gaming, I experienced less eye strain compared to flat monitors, which is a huge plus. The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time (GTG) make this monitor a dream for competitive gaming. The responsiveness is flawless, and I noticed an immediate improvement in how fluid gameplay feels. There’s no ghosting, screen tearing, or input lag, even in the most intense gaming sessions. It’s perfect for FPS games like Call of Duty or Valorant, where every millisecond counts. One of the standout features is the built-in Gaming Hub. I was able to stream games directly without even needing my PC or console turned on—a convenience I didn’t realize I needed until now. The user interface is intuitive, and the hub is packed with options, making this monitor as versatile as it is powerful. Another fantastic addition is the array of connectivity options. With multiple HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, along with USB ports, this monitor can handle all your devices with ease. I have it connected to my PC, PS5, and even a streaming device, and switching between them is seamless. Build quality is excellent, with a premium feel that matches the performance. The monitor stand is sturdy and highly adjustable, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and height-adjust to find the perfect viewing angle. The sleek design and thin bezels add a modern touch to any gaming setup. Setting it up was a breeze. The box was well-packaged, and the monitor itself was easy to assemble. Samsung’s attention to detail is evident even in the setup process. Delivery was also smooth and timely, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. In conclusion, the Samsung Odyssey G65B is a masterpiece of gaming technology. It checks every box for gamers—stunning visuals, exceptional performance, and advanced features. It’s worth every penny and then some. If you’re serious about gaming, this monitor will elevate your experience to an entirely new level. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Misleading and deceptive monitor
By Riley on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
Unfortunate product that should've never been allowed in Amazon without proper warning on the product. The specs and features you see for this monitor, such as the 244 refresh rate is not accurate. You can only get these specs by enabling something called "game mode" on the monitor. However, this mode is problematic and results in consistent failure in the monitor. For example, you cannot run this monitor in a dual monitor setup while utilizing game mode. This was unfortunate for me since I bought three of these monitors for a triple monitor setup. This means in order to play any game where I want to utilize anything from the 244 refresh rate or the virtual aim cursor, I have to disconnect my other monitors, going to my main monitor, and reconfigure the settings... Every single time... There is no way around this. Additionally the monitor is not a normal monitor, it's a "smart monitor", which adds unnecessary delay to any changes of the monitor including when your PC receives input. There is no way to disable this. The combination of using game mode and this being a smart monitor has resulted in this screen(s) randomly flickering or losing input signal in the middle of games. Had I known these downfalls I would have never purchased the monitor, even for the discounts that seem to be consistently offered for the monitor. That should have been my first red flag. Don't make the same mistake. .
