Great Picture, Easy Setup, Tons of Apps
I have never been a fan of curved monitors however decided to try out this monitor after hearing so many good things about the Odyssey. I am glad that I gave this monitor a chance as I have been very impressed with the quality of the product and the amount of options this monitor has. The monitor was shipped with easy setup that provides both DisplayPort and USB to PC cables. It does NOT provide an HDMI cable however with the 8k DP cable an HDMI cable is not really needed. Out of the box it provides an option to use a stand of wall mount to setup your monitor which was a really nice touch. The software setup was easy to use and provide a nice first time walkthrough for apps and internet setup. There are a ton of apps available for this monitor along with a nice "Game Mode" feature. The only downside is being unable to uninstall most of the unused apps that come pre-installed. However there is a large app storage space so at least there is room for downloading / installing additional apps that you use. The game mode feature is very nice , allows for great customization on how you wish the play particular games. I believe the best feature is not having to turn on your computer to just surf YouTube or play Spodify music. I have not notice any picture difference between this curve monitor and my other 27in monitor that is not curve. Overall the picture looks great and does not have any dead pixels. I like how the speakers sound on this monitor however wish it was facing front of monitor instead of downward against the desk. Overall, I strongly recommend this monitor for all the features and ease of use it provides.

Wonderful Picture Quality and Fun Treasure Hunt
I bought an open box (excellent condition) to go with my new Skytech PC around November 2023. When I received the monitor, it had everything except 2 screws for mounting the monitor to the stand. I went in to my local best buy and spoke to someone about my problem, because it is highly frustrating to be missing only 2 screws and they are the most important ones to be missing! The guy I spoke to tried looking in the back for a monitor similar, since they did not have any in stock at the time for holiday season sales going on, and the only ones he had from samsung were older models that did not have screws to connect the base to the monitor but rather a type of hinge. So I was out of luck there. He reccomended for me to go by batteries bulbs and more, or a local computer store, because they might have the very small metric screws I needed. I went to Lowes home improvement instead and found a small pack of slightly longer screws than I needed, but it got the job done for me and those screws are doing a great job holding my beautiful computer monitor together! I am in love with my computer desk set up, and this monitor was a perfect fit for my room. I love the RGB light on the back of the monitor and how it lights up part of my wall. I love the 2 little 'windows' on the front of the monitor that show me the RGB light too. I have all samsung tv's in my house, so I'm very familiar with the remote provided to use for turning on off, using to change inputs, or even getting to the smart hub home to stream shows and movies. Yes, it does have to be turned on manually when you turn your PC on, but if it does not detect anything on, it will turn off after 45 seconds which is nice if I forget to turn the monitor off after turning my PC off. I love the curved screen look better than flat, so this style is perfect for me, and I know this is not 4K but the picture is so clear on my 27" screen that I don't care about 4K for now. I highly recommend the Samsung Odyssey monitor series and have no complaints! My only warning is for those who like to buy open box like me, don't get cursed with missing screws like I did! :)

Good for Gamers!
Bottom Line: The Samsung Odyssey G6’s curved screen creates an immersive gaming or movie watching experience. Pros: immersive curved screen; 1440p with high refresh rate; great contrast; useful remote control. Cons: light bloom on edges; smart hub might not be for everyone; limited swivel; curved screen not good for productivity. Review: This is my first curved screen monitor, and the curve does create an immersive gaming and viewing experience, especially in games where enemies may sneak up on you from the sides (for example, Resident Evil 3). The 1440p resolution and high refresh rate make this monitor a good choice for gamers who want to step up from 1080p, and the DisplayHDR 600 picture offers very good contrast between bright and dark areas. I’ve been playing Dark Souls a lot lately, and the bonfire looks much brighter than it did on my HDR400 display. Additionally, there was sharp contrast of details on some enemies hiding in the shadows that really stood out. The speakers produce good sound which is on par with what you would expect from a TV this size. For discerning players, the monitor also has an HDMI ARC port and headphone jack. I also like that there is a remote control, which allows one to access the settings without fiddling with the buttons you can’t see under the monitor. The screen isn’t perfect, however, and, as is often the case with edge-lit screens, there is noticeable bloom along the edges. It’s most apparent if the image on the edge is black and you’re viewing the screen in the dark. For me, the Smart Hub (essentially Smart TV-like software) that controls the monitor is a mixed bag. On one hand, it’s convenient to have media apps built-in so one can essentially use the monitor like a TV for media consumption. On the other, like a Smart TV, the monitor treats connected devices like apps inside the hub. The monitor attempts to auto recognize devices, but I find it faster and easier just to navigate to the connected port manually with the remote. Hence, the need to go through the hub could be frustrating for some who just want a simple plug-and-play experience. Last, I find that the monitor does not work well for productivity. The swivel (left and right) is pretty limited, and so it doesn’t work well as a second screen when connected to a laptop because I can’t turn the screen to face me as much as I need it to. Additionally, while the screen is really immersive for content consumption, the curve makes using productivity software and multiple apps awkward.

Great Monitor
As a software engineer and FPS gaming lover, i would say this monitor perfectly satisfy all my demands.

Great performance, when working.
This monitor is great whenever it works. After a month of regular use I noticed a dead pixel. Shortly after this the entire display went dead. I’m sure this was a manufacturer defect but for the money that is unacceptable.

Good Initial Entry into Curved Gaming Monitors
The Samsung G6 is a great gaming monitor, and an excellent choice for FPS fans or shooters in general for its high refresh rates, quick response that mostly addresses ghosting, and great colors for a VA panel. This is my first Curved VA monitor; I’ve mostly used ISP or TN flat panels as my main use is Shooters or spreadsheets. Pro: - Tons of features including 240hz refresh rate, fast & extreme response times, 2K resolution, AMD FreeSync that works with the G-Sync Compatible feature. And many more. - Colors were amazing for a VA panel, coming from an ISP and TN panel setup, this was a good balance between. - The remote. Seriously, this is great feature I wish more monitors had. Cons: - The menus are a bit finicky at times, often skipping two options with a single click. - The local dimming is sub part at best, better left off. - The Curve on this size of a monitor doesn’t make as big of a difference as it would on a larger monitor or wider format. My Experience - I’ve used the Samsung G6 as my main monitor for a little over a week now and have adjusted well to the curve. Honestly, it’s not as big of an impact as I thought it would be for good or bad. When gaming it does make seeing the full screen a bit easier but with this being a 27in monitor the effects of the curve are not as impactful as when using a wider format screen. The setup was super easy, this thing literally plays music for you while it guides you through the setup process. There is an option to setup via smart phone or remote, I did both through a reset, but both are very streamlined and easy to follow, taking only 10-15mins. The monitor performed amazing while playing Destiny 2 and Fortnite. 240hz frame rate helped keep the game feeling smooth, and setting the response time to Fast really reduced the VA panel ghosting. I would warn that setting the response time to Extreme would result in overshoot, where the image gets too bright or odd color corrections would occur in some cases. I ended up stepping back down to Fast from Extreme as I was getting a headache due to the high contrast. This monitor has local dimming, but for how it performs it is better to just keep it off. The monitor is backlite from the edge, so all local dimming does is cause horribly backlight flickering while playing most games. It’s a feature better left off. To be fair, few monitors in this range and spec do any better so not holding this against the monitor. Conclusion - This is a great monitor to choose as a first try in curved monitor game, but I would suggest getting one of the larger sizes or wider formats if you have the extra budget to fully appreciate the curved monitor experience. Beyond the size, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a curved monitor for gaming as it has the right specs and solves the ghosting issues of traditional VA panels while looking amazing.

A Gem That Swivels and Turns Heads
The Odyssey line of monitors is amazing. I have the 27 inch one and it must only get better with the other sizes. Right out of the gate/box you will notice this is not going to be complicated or hard to setup. It was not at all! This is my first curved monitor and I’m wondering what took me so long to take the leap and swoop one up. Alright, so once your setup you have your monitor and a remote, and it’s a smart monitor. It will literally walk you through how to configure your settings and preferences. My favorite three features (there are more) are: -Cloud gaming which was amazing and no lag -Portrait and Landscape feature of the screen -Wide landscape views of everything (I thought certain pictures would be cut off) It’s neat that depending on whether I have my tower turned on or my laptop on it will sense which source is on and switch over to it for ease of use. The picture quality is unmatched and the blacks are honestly really great. I saw a few dots in the picture she. I was setting up but I think that was a glitch of some sort. Once I got Fortnite going I was good to go. Oh, and the best surprise… there are built in speakers that have pretty good sound. I am going to upgrade to something with more bass but for a monitor I am very very satisfied with the sound as well. This is an awesome monitor for both beginners and experts

Not totally convinced on the curve, but still love
I’m a fan of small, high resolution monitors because I have an eye for picking out pixels and jaggies from displays, so having a high DPI is fairly important to me. This 1440P monitor works out great for me at 27 inches because the DPI is fairly high and surpasses what is considered to be “retina” where you can’t pick out the individual pixels at its highest resolution. This is my first monitor that is over 72 hertz. I know that’s kind of odd to some gamers out there, but I buy monitors for production work where over 72 hertz is a luxury at UHD and higher resolutions. WOW. I’m sold at high refresh monitors. When a monitor is at high resolution with high refresh rates, you can’t pick out the various stuttering that might happen to 60Hz monitors. It’s like your computer is running at super speed all the time. I’m never going back to slow monitors again. Now, one thing that I’m still not 100% on is the curved part. In games, this is great. It’s immersive and fun to be able to see out of the corner of your eye all of the various things that could be spraying bullets at you. But for production… I don’t think it’s really the right match at this smaller size. I always felt like my Premiere Pro timeline was folding in on itself. You just have to try it to understand what I’m talking about. I’m used to using 4K/5K 40-43-inch flat monitors so not having a flat display for that type of work throws me off. I’m not sold on the built in software. I would have preferred that it was a Google ecosystem product vs the internal version of software that Samsung uses. My favorite part of this monitor was unexpected. As a curved monitor, I thought I’d have to say goodbye to my monitor mounts. I have rolling monitor mounts in my studio that I wheel from station to station based on my need. I replaced a very heavy 42” monitor with this super light 27” monitor. With the monitor comes mounts for VESA mounting! (see pictures) I was so stoked. It works out pretty well, and I can permamount my old monitor to the wall and wheel around the 27” Samsung wherever I need it! I’m not a fan of having to turn the monitor on manually when connected via DisplayPort. Huh? My other monitors go to sleep when they don’t have a signal. I get that older versions of DisplayPort don’t have CEC but this is 2023; Please turn on when you sense a signal, Monitor! Second thing I don’t really like is how big the power supply is with the monitor. For how absolutely thick this monitor is, why is the power supply so huge as well? Third thing is the old style USB 3.0 B connection from the computer. Wow, this is 2023. Make it C please, make it C. All in all, this is a great monitor. Great for games, refresh rate is WOW, productivity is hmm, and curved for me is /shrug.
