The new Samsung Odyssey G5 C monitor 34 G 55 T, a very curved model of 34 “with resolution 1440 p and nothing less than 165 Hz.

Since Samsung launched the Odyssey family, it has not done more than launch high-end monitors aimed at gamers. A clear example is the G9, the one with which the family started, but also the G7, which reach 240 Hz. Today it is the turn of one of the G5 family , maintaining the aggressive curvature of 1000 R and high specifications.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 C 34 G 55 T arrives with a diagonal of 34 “and a resolution of 3440 x 1440 , something already standardized in these inches. Your panel maintains an aspect ratio 21: 9 as can be derived from the resolution and makes use of the VA technology as in the other Odyssey . It is capable of displaying up to 165 images per second, that is, it reaches 165 Hz and integrates, for this, AMD FreeSync Premium. Being of the low end of this family, it maintains a brightness of only 250 nits , so it does not support any type of HDR content, yet Samsung claims (according to Guru3D) that it maintains HDR 10.

The monitor has a weight of 5.2 kg, for which is not very light, let’s say, and also has VESA compatibility 75 x 75 . As connections, on the Samsung Odyssey G5 C 34 G 55 T we have HDMI, DisplayPort and 3.5 mm jack connector. Its price is a mystery, although it will be cheaper than the equivalent models of the G7 family, obviously.

With 20 years I started overclocked my PC to get every extra FPS I could in gaming and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, all the while relentlessly posting about hardware on the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They were probably so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
