SAMSUNG Odyssey G5 LS27CG550EWXXL 27 Inch QHD 165Hz VA Panel 99% SRGB 1MS VA AMD Freesync Curved Gaming Monitor

The Samsung Odyssey G5 (model LS27CG550EWXXL) is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor engineered to put you closer to the action. Built around a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel with a deep 1000R curvature, it wraps your field of vision more tightly than flatter screens, helping peripheral detail feel natural and reducing the need to scan across a large flat surface. At its core, the Odyssey G5 delivers a QHD resolution of 2,560 × 1,440 pixels — packing significantly more detail into each frame than a 1080p display. Combined with a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz and a 1ms response time (MPRT), the panel is designed to keep fast-moving scenes crisp and commands feeling immediate. AMD FreeSync support synchronises the monitor's refresh rate with a compatible graphics card's output, reducing screen tearing during variable-frame-rate gameplay. HDR10 support extends the panel's dynamic range, letting darker areas retain shadow detail while bright highlights stay vivid. The static contrast ratio is rated at 2,500:1 (typical), a strength of VA technology compared with IPS alternatives. Typical brightness is 300 cd/m² with a minimum of 200 cd/m². Samsung includes several gaming-focused software features: Black Equalizer lifts shadow detail for competitive visibility, Virtual AIM Point overlays a customisable crosshair, Low Input Lag Mode reduces processing delay, and Refresh Rate Optimiser helps maintain smooth output. Eye Saver Mode reduces blue-light output and the panel is Flicker Free, making long sessions more comfortable. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.2 (with DP cable included in the box) and one HDMI 2.0 port, plus a headphone output. The all-black stand offers tilt adjustment from −2° to +18° and the rear panel accepts a 75 × 75 mm VESA wall mount. Maximum power consumption is rated at 40W via an external adaptor.
