Odyssey G50D

The G50D is not a miniled monitor. It does have local dimming but it is just 8 zones. Samsung doesn’t make ips miniled only VA miniled. Their miniled monitors are the odyssey NEO series. I’ve had the G50D myself and returned it after 2 days because of how bad everything looked from colors to blacks

Samsung Odyssey G50D is a terrible monitor. I had it and hated pretty much everything about it. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Innocn 27" mini-led fast IPS monitor is one of the best I have used outside of OLED. I was skeptical to try it, but it's 100% worth the extra $100.

Do not get a Samsung Odyssey G5. Terrible monitor.

Wtf are you talking about? lol https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-g50d-s27dg50 The G50D is terrible in 2025/almost 2026. Not comparable to the KTC of this post at all. 1200:1 vs 1600:1 contrast. 180hz vs 320hz. slower at 60hz. 400 vs 480 nits. oled balck are sometimes too blac

Here is the review of the g50d from rtings. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-g50d-s27dg50 In my experience, the screen coating/texture really took away a lot of the clarity. The viewing angles are pretty poor and this is made worse if you don’t have an adequately sized desk.

I recommend LG 27GS85Q, its cost more, but it's very good lcd gaming monitor. There is also Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D, but it not as good as 27gs85q.

Yeah it's rough and has started driving me crazy. Someone else mentioned a panel in the thread but I haven't had the chance to look up some reviews to see if anyone has a viewable area measurement yet. So often they still lost 32" anyway. Had to return one monitor already. =\ SAMSUNG 32-Inch Odyssey
