TQ

for samsung odyssey G5 G55T 32", what's the difference between model number that ends with XXS and XXM ? i saw these 2 models in shopee.

Country specific. Others than that no different.

This monitor is not good quality, here the review of the 27".

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/sams...ssey-g5-c27g55t

In summary, it had noticeable black smearing, slow respond time, bad uniformity and low brightness for HDR. It is using old gen VA panel.

damn. I thought odyssey VA panel is good. must be overhyped. or only G7 good?

Odyssey series using 2nd gen VA is good, but so far only below few model:

• Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 (not the 43")
• Samsung Odyssey Neo G8
• Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (not sure 57" as not yet in market)

A lot of people recommended IPS screen and not VA Panel, which i can understand but I am perplexed when I looked into Samsung 4k monitor including their new Smart Monitor, M7 and M8, all are VA panels and not IPS.

Does VA Panel in this newer samsung monitor really still bad?

And does 4k HDR for OTT contents, meaning i can stream netflix in 4k?



And also i am looking at 28" UHD Monitor - R55, not sure this is a 4K monitor or not, since i dun see the 4k word in Samsung website

UHD = 4k

Resolution = 3840x2160

So yes it is 4k resolution monitor

Samsung basically all product is VA or OLED only. They is very few VA is good, the rest all is bad. The model you mentioned is indeed 4K and IPS but it is a value model, don't expect very good thing and it also don't have HDR.

You want HDR which is true HDR is very costly, a minimum of RM 4.5k is required and it is 3440x1440 QD-OLED monitor from Dell - AW3423DWF

For 4K good in HDR, you need to spend at least RM 6k.

Thank you so much for that, from your ultra wide thread I also managed to know the website rting, which have a very good review in monitors and from there the agak agak budget punya 4K monitor shall be the Samsung Odyssey Neo 8 (32 inch) , from there i think the HDR is good enough? although may not be true HDR

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is RM 6.5k official (now around RM 6k can get) and this monitor got scan line issue when set as 240hz. The HDR performance is good.

Another lower model Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 wise is RM 5.5k official (now around 4.8k can get). This one HDR also good but it is only 165hz, good thing is they is no scan line issue.

Both is premium monitor with 1000+ Local Dimming Zone with mini-LED in VA. Both basically no ghosting issue, no black smearing and very fast respond time with HDR 1000 capable. The cons is both is bad viewing angle which is the characteristic of VA panel.

Any idea if we will get this model in Malaysian market or is it already being brought in? Seems like a nice budget 1440p 240hz monitor (USA msrp $300), I would immediately buy this for fortnite and valorant



EDIT: photo seems typo, it should be 27 inch

What panel also not mentioned, also since when got HDR350... HDR400 is the lowest and it is already bad. This 350 nits? They better make it SDR only monitor.

This will not be a good monitor, especially if it is VA or TN panel.

VA and 60hz, if for gaming purpose, then I will talk with Dell CS request cancel or top up for better model.

If for working purposes not involved HDR, not great but acceptable ok.

Here the review https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s3221qs

which one do you recommend? I don't work with photography, but i do want to watch movies/shows with it, maybe in the future might consider adding in console gaming, but dont think i play competitively.

can any sifu recomend me a monitor budget around 1.5k ?? my previous is 27G5 was cracked and RIP so now looking for a new any size or panel type is on the go now ?

What is your budget.

1.5K and below. Now that I think about it 32 inch might be too big for me. Hopefully tomorrow I can cancel the order with dell and see.

1.5k is a bit too low for a good 4K.

For 1440p in 27", you may consider GIGABYTE M27Q P (within your budget) or M27Q X (a bit over your budget)
