Samsung Odyssey G55C Reviews

Curvature is off the hook! Refresh is even better!

By Anonymous
Rated 5 out of 5

When it comes to this monitor, it stops at nothing to show how amazing it is. The curve allows you to see the full aspects of your surrounding area in game. It refreshes so quickly that it allows you to have flawless gameplay with no stutters or mess ups! As for the resolution. You can game to about 165 fps with games like marvel rivals and many competitive fps games reaching a total of about 200 FPS. Whether you want to have a brighter screen or a lighter one. The Samsung odyssey allows the readjust with the many settings in the menu. The game mode/HDR can allow you to adjust the settings in games about how the background blurs in real world time! The amd freesync allows you to have that effortless gameplay with your system or pc. I would recommend to anyone who’s looking to upgrade their monitor!

Unfortunate input

The lack or 2.1 HDMI is unfortunate, everything is good but that drags it down. The lack of 2.1, limits console to 4k 60hz vs the 120hz, which 120 is standard same as 2.1 hdmi.
