Product Information

It’s a bit pricier than the 1500R alternatives yet it doesn’t support a wide color gamut, but some users who prefer the steeper screen curvature to color vibrancy might find that to be a worthy trade-off.

When it comes to pixel response time performance, the Samsung C34G55T is similar to most VA panel displays. Sadly, this means that there’s some noticeable smearing behind fast-moving objects, especially in darker scenes since pixels take longer to change from dark into bright pixels. https://www.samsung.com/uk/monitors/gaming/odyssey-g5-34-inch-165hz-curved-ultra-wqhd-lc34g55twwrxxu/ FAQ for Samsung TV.

Next, the Samsung C34G55T supports AMD FreeSync with a 60-165Hz VRR (variable refresh rate) range over DisplayPort. This technology allows the monitor to change its refresh rate according to GPU’s frame rate thus preventing screen tearing at basically no input lag penalty up to 165FPS. The design of the Samsung C34G55T consists of ultra-thin bezels at the top and bottom, a matte anti-glare screen coating that prevents reflections, tilt-only (-2°/18°) stand and 75x75mm VESA mount compatibility.The only difference I can see listed is one says WQHD and the other QHD. But they are the same size and have the same resolution! The Samsung C34G55T from the Odyssey G5 line-up is a 34″ 3440×1440 165Hz ultrawide gaming monitor based on a 1000R curved VA panel. Additionally, there are plenty of movies shot at the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which looks amazing on 21:9 monitors. Your Samsung OLED monitor comes with Panel Care functions to prevent screen burn-in issues. These include Pixel Refresh and Pixel Shift. Most newer games support the 21:9 format natively, and there are plenty of free mods available that can make unsupported games handle the ultrawide resolutions better.

In real use, the amount of smearing or ghosting will be tolerable or even negligible to most gamers, unless you’re extremely sensitive to it. If you mainly play fast-paced competitive games, you should be looking at a monitor with a higher refresh rate anyway.The extra horizontal screen space makes the monitor particularly great for spreadsheets and audio/video editing.
