Samsung's Odyssey G30D Gaming Monitor features 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time (MPRT) which enables faster, exhilarating gameplay with ultra-smooth action and minimal blur. AMD Radeon FreeSync™ keeps the monitor and graphics card refresh rate in sync, reducing image tearing for seamless, smooth scenes. Black Equalizer allows you to adjust dark areas in games, letting you spot your enemies in even the darkest hiding nooks. Eye Saver Mode minimizes blue light and reduces irritating screen flicker for more comfortable gaming, and the 3-sided borderless design provides maximum space for bigger, bolder gameplay, enabling a precise dual-monitor setup. Features an ergonomic stand to adjust your monitor height for optimal comfort when playing for extended periods of time.
¹"1 ms" means one millisecond which is the range of avg. response time between 1.00ms to 1.99ms truncated to a whole number. Based on MPRT measured under internal test conditions. Results may vary by content and monitor settings (requires ‘Extreme mode' setting). MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) measures the time taken for a pixel to transition from one image frame to another (motion blur measurement). Refresh rate may vary by content and input source. ²Images simulated for illustrative purposes.

Title: Fantastic Monitor, and beautiful clarity!
Review: When I purchased these monitors, I was actually surprised at the cost, for the price, this monitor performs exceptionally well, with a high quality image, and solid specifications. The 27" monitor allows for a larger screen to see what is going on, without sacrificing a beat. The monitors work well at higher refresh rates, and the stand that comes with it allows for the user to quickly and easily rotate the screen. NOTE: When turning the screen, you will likely make contact with the surface the monitor is standing on. Bear this in mind to ensure that you don't damage your monitor or desk. With a crisp 144hz refresh rate, vibrant colors, you'll feel satisfied. Definitely recommend this monitor, and I have even though about upgrading the remaining 2 of the 4 older monitors on my setup to these particular units.

Title: Excellent image quality
Review: The image quality and specs are very good, and among what I have tested, they correspond to the technical characteristics described, I can say they even improved my visual experience compared to two previous monitors I had.I have compared them with other 4K, and really, for a common user who wants to have a monitor with a very good image at an excellent cost-benefit ratio, this monitor works super well.Of course we have tested it with some games, but not with super pro and very demanding games, but in general the monitors have responded very well in the different tests that I have carried out.I really liked the design in general, very clean and modern (and no, they don't have baffles even though it may seem that way), the base holds the screen very well and allows you to adjust its height without any problem, in addition to being able to use the monitor vertically, although For me they work very well horizontally, I also tried them vertically.The round semi-transparent blue plastic on the back is decorative and not very dense, I liked it and I placed them on both monitors, but you have to handle them with care because they are not very strong, it would be great if it had LEDs, but I guess For that you can use the USB port on the monitor.What I didn't like very much about the design is the experience of turning it off and on with the jostic at the bottom where both the shutdown and its configuration are managed, it is not as usable as in the general design of many monitors through buttons small, which is much more practical.

Title: Great monitor for the price
Review: When I built my PC, I thought using a TV as a monitor would be fine. Once I got this monitor though, I realized that I was wrong. The picture quality difference is unreal. The only reason Iâm not giving this 5 stars is because when playing some games on it, I get a little motion sick. Hoping that it is something that will work its way out seeing that Iâm not used to the fps and whatnot, but we will see. Was super easy to put together and love the adjustability of the stand that it comes with. Plug and play.

Title: Great Monitor So Far - The Vertical One in the pic.
Review: I wanted an extra monitor (nothing fancy) for running OBS and other programs while streaming. This monitor works great for that. I wish I wouldâve looked deeper into the specs as I donât see a max resolution listed. I assumed it would be higher than the standard 1920, but itâs not. However, itâs fine and perfect for what I wanted it for. It would be cool to get some more data on the screen, but for my wants, this works well. I would recommend this if youâre fine with 1920. If you want to 2k or 4k, this is not for you.

Title: Video quality is great and worth it!
Review: It values the money, I used to play in a 32 inch tv and I decided to buy a monitor to play video games and found this one. The quality of this monitor itâs good for the type of games you play, Forza, Fortnite, Call of Duty, every game looks perfect in the monitor. The modes that you can use for the video is very easy to use. It doesnât weight a lot and its clarity is perfect (you can switch the brightness in the tv). Also it has options to add reticles if you play a shooters game and itâll help with your aim. You should buy if you deciding to go on this monitor.

Title: Use a DisplayPort to remove ghosting
Review: When you use an HDMI cable, the response time options in the monitor's built in menu just allow you to chose in between Standard, Fast, Fastest. The MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) option is only available when using a DisplayPort Cable. Additionally, you can only get 165 hz refresh rate with a DisplayPort Cable as well. A DisplayPort Cable is included with the G32A model, HDMI with the G30 Model. My recommendation get the G32A as it is just better and comes with the DP cable. Monitor is pretty nicely build, stand is awesome and sturdy and overall a great monitor. Colors are vivid even though is a VA panel. Easy to assemble as well. Packaging was pretty solid imo, no damage whatsoever. I got it for 130 bucks which is not bad at all. I recommend it c:

Review: I am using this as my 2nd monitor in portrait mode. I wanted a monitor that could rotate to portrait mode, and for the price this is the only one that came with a stand able to do so. There may be others but from what I could find the others didn't have stand with much motion controls. The motion control of this stand is great tho, has height adjust swivel tilt , rotate etc. The picture quality is good, especially the blacks. I'm using it as a 2nd monitor and I mostly browse the web and watch media on it. From watching reviews on youtube, others have said it's a great media monitor as the color reproduction and blacks are good. I've heard it's not as great for gaming with some screen tear issues, but I haven't tested it out in gaming myself as I game on my main monitor. I think for the price it's a great value. If you intend to use it for gaming, I'd do your own research and come to your own conclusions, as I can't really say how it performs with that.

Review: I own a 34 lg 75hz ultrawide already. After trying this one i can tell 1080p 144hz/165hz is way better than uwfhd 75hz for the price you pay. I am more into ultrawide but 144hz is three times what you pay here.Picture quality is great too. Its super sharp! Arm is durable unlike other monitor stands. 24 is perfect for screen size for 1080p and game play. The only thing i wish is this unit includes DP-DP cable which is good but doesnât make sense to me since they should have included DP-HDMI. The reason being most laptop dont even have display port. So eventually i will have to buy dp- hdmi cable for 165 support. But hdmi does support 144hz anyways. But overall great gaming monitor for 1080p gaming and also programming since it can flip!

Review: Got this to upgrade from a 24" as my laptop external monitor. It performs about as well as I could expect. FreeSync works as it should and it has a higher framerate than I could ever need since I am unable to spot any noticeable differences for framerates above 100Hz. Incidentally I am getting 144Hz over HDMI versus my previous monitor's 120Hz (also via HDMI) I have not tested the DP port since my laptop lacks one and cannot be bothered to connect to my main rig.
