2020 Alienware Monitor

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was thinking of getting myself an Ultra wide gaming monitor but always thought the 49" G9 was too big that's when Samsung released this with the same panel as in the Alienware OLED monitor that is getting rave reviews. The difference between this and the Alienware monitor is that this one comes with Samsung OS and is easy to connect to my other Samsung ecosystem products. This monitor is perfect to run Dex on or even can be used as a TV. The OLED panel is brilliant and the movies and games pop on it.

This arm is amazing! I purchased two different ones before this to support my new Alienware OLED monitor. Those arms could not support the weight even on the highest tension. This arm at half tension easily supports the weight. You can tell this one is made with a higher quality than any off brand product.

Comparing this to the Alienware AW3225QF (which I tested for 3 weeks before getting this monitor), I find the colors are effectively the same after you find the right settings that appeal to you. I initially had some text clarity issues, but this was solved by running the monitor at 240Hz. For whatever reason, a bunch of features are turned off by default, so you need to turn them on (e.g. OLEDcare, VRR, CEC). Another thing to keep in mind - when you switch to full-screen and back, the monitor will black out for a few seconds. This is normal and a function of Nvidia drivers, not the monitor. Another caveat, as this is OLED, you cannot calibrate this with standard monitor calibration gear (think SpyderX). After turning everything on and playing with all the presets, I was able to find the ones I liked for different media. The monitor is amazing. Great color, perfect blacks, I almost think it's blacker than my black monitor bezels... 240Hz is buttery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 34” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitor replaced my Alienware 29 inch monitor, and I'm so glad that I did. The 34" G5 Odyssey has Deeper blacks and crisper picture than my old Alienware 25 gaming monitor. My games have never looked so good as on the 34"G5.

Absolutely stunning monitor, coming from an Alienware ultra wide 3440 to 4k QD-Oled. What a difference

Excellent Monitor. I upgraded from an Alienware 240hz 1080p to this one. Got recommended by Hardware Unbox on YouTube. This is my first 1440p monitor. Resolution is crisp. no dead pixels. and gotta love that IPS color quality. Great so far. Would recommend.

Of course my new late-2020 MacBook Air has different ports from my old mid-2013 MacBook Air. I needed an adapter for my monitor, backup disk, wireless keyboard, etc. This is the perfect adapter. Works seamlessly with all my peripherals. Plug and play, as it should be be. Packaged well by B&H and arrived sooner than estimated.

I’m running a 2020 MBP 13 inch with 2 ports, and this thing works flawlessly. I am hanging 2x 1080p monitors off of it (1 DisplayPort, 1usbc to DisplayPort) and once all the settings were configured, I have had no other issues. I get into the office, open my laptop, plug in 1 wire and I am good to go! The device can be set vertically, where it has an inbuilt rubber grippy bottom, or you can use the included rubber grips if you want to mount horizontally. Only issue I had was slight latency on cursor speed when plugging in a Logitech mouse dongle to the back, but this was resolved by plugging it into my monitor USB slot and passing that data through a usb3.1b cable from the monitor to the dock. No more latency and my mouse and keyboard work perfectly. Totally worth the money

I got this to connect my 2020 MBP to a monitor and peripherals so I could eliminate all the side USB-C adaptors. Great plug and play. Was up and running in only a few minutes. Appreciated that needed cables were included. The included usb-c cable to connect my MBP is rather short for my set up but easily replaced with a longer one.

Overall, really solid monitor for a good price. I've had one since 2020 and I'm getting a second one now to replace another monitor in my setup. Dark colors don't pixelate like on other cheap displays and it physically feels nicer on my eyes to look at than on standard flat displays. I use a headset or external speakers anyway so lack of speakers is a non issue (I actually like not having an additional audio device cluttering my settings). It would be nice if you could adjust the height on these, but it suits my needs perfectly even in spite of that. Hoping to get many more years of use out of these.
