Our Verdict
Nixeus EDG 34
Samsung Odyssey G5 C34G55T
The Samsung Odyssey G5 C34G55T is a better monitor overall than the Nixeus EDG 34. They each have a VA panel with a high contrast ratio, and each of their stands offer terrible ergonomics. They have similar gaming performance, but we experienced a lot of bugs with the Samsung that caused its input lag to increase and VRR to stop working. The Samsung also has a higher 165Hz refresh rate than the 144Hz on the Nixeus.
