The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a decent gaming monitor. The 27-inch screen is big enough for an immersive experience, and the 1440p resolution results in decent image clarity. It also has VRR support to reduce screen tearing, and gaming feels responsive thanks to its low input lag. However, motion looks bad as it has a slow response time, and there's noticeable black smearing. It has a high contrast if you want to use it for dark room gaming, but it doesn't have a local dimming feature to further improve the contrast.
