Samsung Offloads Its Odyssey Gaming Monitor, the 27-Inch G5 G53F QHD Display Drops Below Black Friday Pricing - Kotaku

"The Samsung 27″ Odyssey G5 G53F QHD Resolution Gaming Monitor provides a 27-inch screen clearly built for quick, seamless gaming. The panel provides sharper menus, maps, and textures without overwhelming you. The IPS panel will maintain color accuracy no matter how far off-center you are, and the matte finish will significantly reduce distracting reflections from surrounding lighting or window glare. It also supports HDR, which increases brightness and deepens shadowing in compatible games and videos, providing a more accurate visual representation of the scene."

"The 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time mean this display handles motion extremely well. Once you have hardware pushing high frame rates and quick camera movements, scrolling and fast effects appear smooth. By keeping the panel and the graphics card's output in sync via AMD FreeSync Premium, stuttering and tearing are minimized. As a result, you experience a smoother overall experience, especially in fast-paced titles such as first-person shooter games, racing games, and others that require rapid, precise motion."

"For example, Black Equalizer increases the brightness in darker areas of the screen just enough to give you a clear view of objects and characters in the shadows without washing out the rest of the picture. These features work in conjunction with Samsung's standard picture modes, allowing you to adjust settings on a per-game basis rather than choosing from a large number of preset picture modes."
