(NEW) Samsung 27" Odyssey G55C Series QHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor

For the price (when on sale at $274) this monitor is very tough to beat! 1440p with a high refresh rate and a 1000r curve. The color accuracy is pretty good especially at the price point. Doesn't compare to a higher end IPS displays but beats out TN panels. The menu is pretty user friendly and has a good number of features and settings. My main reason for knocking off 2 stars is as follows... Lack of HDMI ports. This monitor comes with 1 HDMI and 1 Display port. Most monitors nowadays have 4 ports usually 2 of each. Limits what I can keep connected to the display. Also, max brightness is only 300 to 350 nits. The description states its HDR and while the Xbox Series X DOES recognize this, its not bright enough for TRUE HDR content. Would need to be at least 400 nits to 600 nits to truly appreciate HDR and see a noticeable difference. The lacking in peak brightness makes it very tough to see a huge "dynamic" range. My last con is the stand. It has no adjustment at all. I ended up putting on a riser to raise it but there is absolutely no rotation, pivot or height adjustment to the stand. I think these features are pretty much standard on 90% of the monitors out there at the same price point. All in all, I am happy with the purchase and decided to keep it but only use for console gaming. as my go to monitor is the Nanocell Fast IPS from LG for my PC needs.
