The media could not be loaded. Firstly see my video on text sharpness, if that is a concern for you.SAMSUNG 32-Inch Odyssey G50D.Old monitor 24” 1080p.Good:1. Well worth the $279 I paid. Not worth $429, to me anyway.2. Greatly adjustable. Raise it. Tilt it. Turn it. I've been looking at monitors for a long time.One of the few 32" with this much adjustability under $300.3. Colors are fantastic. Vibrant colors with several presets. White is white. Black is black.4. Text readability is fantastic.5. Streaming shows are fantastic!! Gordon Ramsay never looked better.6. GTA 5 ran great. Game looks sooo much better. Text is so much easier to read compared to old monitor.7. IMO this monitor would be great for 95% of the gamers. Probably will fall short for the elite players.Bad:1. Had a very hard time time getting display to power on. Screen kept telling me no signal. I tried the cable I had been using first. Then I tried the new cable that came with monitor (displayport), still nothing. I finally started moving cables around on the back of the video card (new 3060). There was only one port on card where the monitor would turn on. I feel the monitor should work no matter where its plugged in IMO. Never had this problem before. Also the power light has never came on.2. The ring that goes on the back and attaches to the monitor... I was never able to get it to attach. I spent a huge amount of time, then I threw it back in the box.These negatives did not affect the quality, just the time it took to figure it out. So , 5 stars.I tried this monitor because its brand new here, latest tech. (Risky? Now that I have it, NO!). Plus its a Samsung. Now that I have seen the new monitor against my old one. I want another new one… someday maybe.Whoever said size doesn’t matter was way off. Must have been a guy, certainly not his wife.

picked up this monitor while on sale. Was a little nervous about the 1440p on a 32 in monitor and how well text would present, but I use this for work throughout the day and spreadsheets and SQL code look great. After work it looks beautiful in games, the 32in format is really immersive. Don't have the hardware to take advantage of 4k so 2k is my sweet spot Without jumping up to OLED or a monitor 2x the price this is a great monitor. Stand is sturdy with plenty of adjustability.

Took just a little setup to make the text look good, mostly just turning down the sharpness (counter-intuitive, I know). Also, the description says this monitor has a glossy finish on the screen. That is incorrect. It *does* have a very glossy film on it, to protect the surface during shipping, but once you peel it off, the screen is a pleasing matte finish, no glare, no reflections. The "joystick" button on the bottom takes a little getting used to, but once you use it a little, it's very easy. There was a notice that the brightness was deliberately set low, to save the environment, but you can, obviously, turn it up.The one real complaint was the instructions included. They were far from clear, and would have benefitted from some text. Or a QR code that didn't try to take me to instructions for a TV. There were several very cryptic graphics, on both the "instructions" and on this paper "ring" around the top of the base, seemingly promising dire consequences if you do....something.It's heavy! The base of the stand is sturdy, solid metal, very beefy. Ditto for the arm. The monitor itself is also heavy. Doesn't matter all that much, as most people don't move their monitors around much.The adjustability of the stand is amazing. I was concerned about how tall this monitor might be, but it turned out to be a non-issue.

Love this monitor, the size is incredible and the display is PERFECTION. Zero issues with installing, response rate and color are optimal, sharpness and brightness easy to adjust... and excellent for keeping up with gaming. No lag!
