*120 Hz is more than enough. 144 Hz is luxury. Anyone who complains about not getting 165 Hz or more is spoiled.* *I care more about color accuracy and the beauty of the screen and software the monitor provides. I got a 1440p 32" BenQ 32GW series monitor today. 75 Hz. Why? Because I play at 1440p MAX settings with only 2x antialiasing, and I normally can't hold 75 fps at those settings.* *I'd get a 4090 but why? What is the point? It will be obsolete in 4 months.*

Can it be mounted? There’s so many variations of this monitor (including a Canadian version that’s got a flat base can the long chicken toes in this one shown).

@shivanthing
6 ай бұрын
you get what you paid for with this one. VA panels look pretty, and the only way to eliminate ghosting/black smearing is to get a g6 and above, since the panels on those ones are better. (And I've heard even those have issues. it's just how VA panels are.) I did buy this monitor though, as I definitely dont have $600+ to spend on a higher quality VA panel. $300 for a decent 1440p high refresh rate monitor with nice contrast is a good buy. I do gaming, like helldivers 2, and I dont notice the ghosting too much except in more calm scenes where I am not paying attention to much. I have the 32" curved 165hz one (which does have dp 1.4). Apparently, this display was refreshed sometime in 2022, so perhaps the design was ironed out in some shape or form (although I do doubt it, since its still a lower refresh rate panel). In practical use cases, the general user really will not care too much about ghosting and black smearing unless it is especially abhorrent. I just want a pretty picture with deep blacks and good contrast, so if you want a pretty picture on a budget, here you go, this is a nice monitor. I went from a 144hz IPS monitor to this and I am fine with it. If youre looking to be competitive in games though, get an IPS panel as those are usually more reliable across the board. Otherwise, I think the g7+ will be the best idea if you really need that contrast and have money to spend.

Nits are brightness levels. You should NEVER have to max out your brightness. So, fon't worry TOO much about brightness. Curved is for people who want to feel like the monitor or TV is wrapping around them. It truly isn't a better quality or image. It just feels a little different when playing. Flat and curved would both be phenomenal displays. It is just up to you. 😉

At the end of the video you said it's an ips monitor, so what happend? You also mentioned it has display port 1.2 which is not true, the G51C has the 1.4 version. One other thing I noticed is that you said it jas 300nits brightness which is not right again, samsung claims it has 240nits. Please be careful with what informations you're using and saying because you can make people really confused with it.

Hi there, thanks for watching! I should make it clear there are multiple variants of this monitor in addition Samsung released a revised version of the G32 with a lower resolution display. The specification I have mentioned are in fact accurate for both the Canadian and (Some) US versions. While Samsung's US store is no longer selling the version of the G51C I reviewed here it is very much still sold across all 3rd party retailers and in other regions. I have left links for your reference indicating the version/configuration of the monitor shown here: www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/gaming/odyssey-g5-g50a-32-inch-ips---165hz-1ms-ls32ag500pnxza/?modelCode=LS32AG500PNXZA+&cid=ca_pd_ppc_google_none_ecommerce_he-monitors-gaming_pla_shopping_20180107-h&gad_source=1&CID=afl-ecomm-rkt-cha-040122-url_MagicLinks&MagicLinks&rktevent=MagicLinks_x9A7w7fjzpE-GdFTVDUp6N_tiydnSyjsog&ranMID=47773&ranEAID=x9A7w7fjzpE&ranSiteID=x9A7w7fjzpE-GdFTVDUp6N_tiydnSyjsog
