Samsung Odyssey G5 LS27DG502EWXXL 27 Inch Gaming Monitor

The Samsung Odyssey G5 (model LS27DG502EWXXL) is a 27-inch flat gaming monitor built around a Fast IPS panel and a QHD resolution of 2,560 × 1,440 pixels. Its pixel density is notably higher than Full HD panels of the same screen size, resulting in sharper text, finer in-game detail, and more visible depth across the image. The Fast IPS technology ensures a wide 178° horizontal and 178° vertical viewing angle, so image quality remains consistent whether you are seated directly in front of the display or viewing at an angle. For competitive gaming, the monitor delivers a maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz paired with a 1 ms GTG response time. These two figures work together to reduce motion blur and ghosting during fast camera pans and high-speed action sequences. AMD FreeSync support — including G-Sync Compatible operation — synchronises the display's refresh rate with a compatible graphics card, eliminating screen tearing without introducing significant input latency. The panel carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, meaning it meets a defined standard for peak brightness and tone-mapping behaviour in HDR content. Typical brightness is rated at 350 cd/m² with a minimum of 280 cd/m², and the static contrast ratio is 1,000:1. Samsung's Black Equalizer feature helps lift shadow detail in dark scenes, while Virtual AIM Point overlays a crosshair for competitive titles. Eye comfort features include Eye Saver Mode, which reduces blue-light output, and Flicker Free technology that eliminates the rapid backlight cycling that can contribute to eye fatigue during extended sessions. The ergonomic stand supports height adjustment (120 mm ± 5 mm range), tilt (−2° to +25°), swivel (−30° to +30°), and pivot (−92° to +92°), allowing extensive positional flexibility. VESA 100 × 100 mm wall-mount compatibility is also provided for those who prefer an arm or wall bracket. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 2.0, both with HDCP 2.2 support, plus a headphone output. The package includes both an HDMI cable and a DisplayPort cable. Power draw is rated at a maximum of 48 W via an external adaptor.
