Unfortunately, that better experience comes at a very high price. But right now, Amazon is selling the 34-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 <strong>$279.99<\/strong> (originally $399.99), which is the second lowest price ever for this monitor according to the price-tracking tool.<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a great ultra-wide monitor for those who haven&#8217;t used one before, keeping the price relatively low with all the key features you&#8217;d want. Other high-end ultra-wide monitors, like the Odyssey OLED G9, cost $700 and up. However, they are much larger and provide OLED quality visuals.<\/p>\n<p>The Odyssey G5 comes with a 1000R curve, which Samsung claims is optimal for avoiding eye strain. Your media will be displayed at a 21:9 aspect ratio and 3440&#215;1440 resolution, which means if you watch videos that aren&#8217;t compatible with that ratio, there will be some black space around the edges to keep it from looking stretched. You also get a 165Hz refresh rate and native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support, which helps fast games look smoother. Input lag is 1ms, which is very fast for a budget gaming monitor. It&#8217;s also compatible with HDR10, so movies or shows will look good, but mostly in dark rooms because the HDR peak brightness isn&#8217;t very high.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pogoClear relative my-10 border-b-(1.5px) border-t-(1.5px) border-dashed border-black py-5 sm:my-14 sm:border-0 sm:py-0\" data-ga-click=\"\" data-ga-template=\"Deals\" data-ga-module=\"openweb_widget\" data-ga-element=\"openweb_scroll\" data-ga-item=\"openweb_scroll_midpage\" x-data=\"{&#10;         commentsCount: null,&#10;         hasComments: false,&#10;         async fetchCommentsCount() {&#10;             try {&#10;                 if (window.openweb &amp;&amp; typeof window.openweb.getMessagesCount === 'function') {&#10;                     this.commentsCount = await window.openweb.getMessagesCount('01K0A5YQV8NHT9EYETBKVNWBKX');&#10;                     this.hasComments = this.commentsCount !== null &amp;&amp; this.commentsCount &gt; 0;&#10;                 }&#10;             } catch (e) {&#10;                 console.warn('Failed to fetch comment count:', e);&#10;             }&#10;         }&#10;     }\" x-init=\"fetchCommentsCount()\" x-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"relative flex justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-fit items-center gap-x-3 bg-white px-5\">\n<p>            <span class=\"text-sm font-medium text-black\"><\/p>\n<p>                What do you think so far?<br \/>\n                <button class=\"ml-1 font-semibold text-brand-green underline hover:text-brand-green-700\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Comment section trigger\" onclick=\"window.openweb.scrollToComments('01K0A5YQV8NHT9EYETBKVNWBKX')\" x-text=\"hasComments ?
