Samsung Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EWXXL 27 Inch Monitor

The Samsung Odyssey G5 (model LS27FG502EWXXL) is a 27-inch flat gaming monitor designed for players who demand both visual accuracy and high-speed responsiveness. Built around an IPS panel, it delivers wide 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles along with a colour gamut that covers 99% of the sRGB colour space, making it equally suitable for competitive gaming sessions and everyday creative work. At the heart of this display is a QHD (2,560 × 1,440) resolution that provides noticeably sharper detail compared with standard 1080p screens at the same screen size. Combined with a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz and a 1ms grey-to-grey response time, fast-moving visuals remain smooth and free of ghosting — two qualities that matter in reaction-dependent titles. HDR10 support adds expanded dynamic-range rendering for compatible content. For tear-free gameplay, the Odyssey G5 carries AMD FreeSync certification and is also G-Sync Compatible, meaning it synchronises its refresh rate with a broad range of graphics cards from either GPU manufacturer. Gaming-centric extras such as Black Equalizer (improves visibility in dark scenes), Virtual AIM Point (customisable crosshair overlay), and Super Arena Gaming UX (multi-screen layout assist) come pre-loaded in the screen display. Eye comfort is addressed through Flicker Free backlight technology and an Eye Saver Mode that reduces blue-light output. The monitor also includes an Off Timer Plus for automated power management and an Auto Source Switch+ that detects active input signals automatically. Connectivity covers one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 2.0 port, both supporting HDCP 2.2, alongside a dedicated headphone output. The panel operates at a typical brightness of 300 cd/m² (minimum 240 cd/m²) with a static contrast ratio of 1,000:1. --- Verified Specifications --- • Screen size: 27 inches (flat, 16:9) • Active display area: 596.736 × 335.664 mm • Panel type: IPS • Resolution: QHD 2,560 × 1,440 • Refresh rate: up to 180Hz • Response time: 1ms (GTG) • Brightness (typical): 300 cd/m²; (minimum) 240 cd/m² • Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 (static, typical) • HDR: HDR10 • Colour gamut: 99% sRGB • Colours displayed: up to 16.7 million • Viewing angle: 178°/178° (H/V) • Sync technology: FreeSync; G-Sync Compatible • Ports: 1× DisplayPort 1.2 (HDCP 2.2), 1× HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2) • Audio out: 3.5mm headphone jack • Operating temperature: 10–40 °C • Warranty: 3 years • OS compatibility: Windows 11 certified
