Overview
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G5 is a 27 inch QHD QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 180Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms gray to gray response time. It suits gamers who want OLED level picture quality and near instant response without moving up to a 4K panel.
Samsung pairs the QD-OLED panel with its own burn in mitigation system, called OLED Safeguard, which combines a thermal modulation system with logo and taskbar detection and a screen saver. The panel is Pantone Validated for over 2100 colors and includes HDR10, while a glare free coating and Auto Source Switch plus are aimed at multi device desks. Samsung backs the panel with a 3 year warranty.

Who it's for
Good for gamers who want OLED contrast and response time at QHD rather than 4K, and who plan to switch between several connected devices. Less suited to anyone wanting the deepest possible burn in safeguards, since mitigation, not elimination, is what OLED Safeguard offers.

Performance notes
The QD-OLED panel drives a 0.03ms gray to gray response time and a 180Hz refresh rate, fast enough to keep motion clear in competitive games. G-Sync compatibility and FreeSync support work together to reduce tearing across both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, and the glare free coating is meant to keep reflections down without a heavy matte texture that can soften the image.
