Samsung's Odyssey G5 G53F is a 27-inch flat gaming monitor that pairs a sharp QHD resolution with a fast 200Hz refresh rate, a strong step up for anyone moving off a 1080p 60Hz or 144Hz screen. The IPS panel shows 2560 x 1440 at up to 200Hz with a 1ms (MPRT) response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium keeps motion smooth and tear-free on supported graphics cards. It supports HDR10, offers 300 cd/m² typical brightness, a 1000:1 static contrast ratio, about 72% NTSC colour and 178-degree viewing angles. Gamer features include Black Equalizer for spotting enemies in dark scenes, Virtual AIM Point, Refresh Rate Optimizer and Auto Source Switch+. Inputs are one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports plus a headphone output, so it suits a gaming PC and a console side by side. There are no built-in speakers. The stand tilts, and the screen takes a 75 x 75mm VESA mount. Power comes from an external adapter, and Esquire lists a 3-year warranty.
