SAMSUNG 32-Inch Odyssey G50D.
Old monitor 24” 1080p.
Good:
1. Well worth the $279 I paid. Not worth $429, to me anyway.
2. Greatly adjustable. Raise it. Tilt it. Turn it. I've been looking at monitors for a long time.
One of the few 32" with this much adjustability under $300.
3. Colors are fantastic. Vibrant colors with several presets. White is white. Black is black.
4. Text readability is fantastic.
5. Streaming shows are fantastic!! Gordon Ramsay never looked better.
6. GTA 5 ran great. Game looks sooo much better. Text is so much easier to read compared to old monitor.
7. IMO this monitor would be great for 95% of the gamers. Probably will fall short for the elite players.
Bad:
1. Had a very hard time time getting display to power on. Screen kept telling me no signal. I tried the cable I had been using first. Then I tried the new cable that came with monitor (displayport), still nothing. I finally started moving cables around on the back of the video card (new 3060). There was only one port on card where the monitor would turn on. I feel the monitor should work no matter where its plugged in IMO. Never had this problem before. Also the power light has never came on.
2. The ring that goes on the back and attaches to the monitor... I was never able to get it to attach. I spent a huge amount of time, then I threw it back in the box.
These negatives did not affect the quality, just the time it took to figure it out. So , 5 stars.
I tried this monitor because its brand new here, latest tech. (Risky? Now that I have it, NO!). Plus its a Samsung. Now that I have seen the new monitor against my old one. I want another new one… someday maybe.
Whoever said size doesn’t matter was way off. Must have been a guy, certainly not his wife.
