Product Overview

Samsung C34G55T is a mid-range 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide, 1000R-curved gaming monitor in the 2020 Odyssey G5 lineup. It uses an 8-bit VA panel with decent color reproduction, though Samsung has thoroughly optimized this 34-inch monitor for gaming.

To that end, the C34G55T features 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms (MPRT) response time. Its 1000R curvature, combined with high contrast typical of VA panels, deliver an immersive gaming experience. At the same time, Samsung has not given the C34G55T many features that non-gamers would appreciate.

The C34G55T is joined by smaller models with 16:9 aspect ratio in the G5 lineup.

Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Samsung Odyssey G5 34 is good for mixed usage. It's great for gaming because it has a high 165Hz refresh rate with a quick response time. Its 34 inch screen and 1440p resolution make it decent for office use. Sadly, it has terrible ergonomics and narrow viewing angles.

Pros

Excellent native contrast ratio
High 165Hz refresh rate
Low input lag
Good reflection handling

Cons

Terrible ergonomics and narrow viewing angles
Mediocre HDR peak brightness
