My Personal Samsung G5 Monitor Settings

- I finally got around to recording my settings for the Samsung G5 monitor. I hope this helps people out there as a starting off point for tweaking their settings to their liking. As I mention on the video these are my personal settings which tend to be more vibrant than some prefer. Let me know if you have any more questions in the comment section below!

Appreciate this bro. I was completely lost in setting this up.
Just bought one yesterday I'm in the same vote lol
@@ColtenGarrett-ic7rz i just bought this hope you could help
Loving the G5 content, best out there, no1 covering as many areas as you are, and its a fantastic budget option
budget lmao
@@tompeet9990 The G7 is twice the price at the same resolution, so yeah, it's definitely a budget option for 1440p with high refresh rate.
hi could you test the Gsync and see if there's flickering at low FPS? Mine is suffering like the G7
I got one for only 240$
@@Kapcerballs $276 with free shipping here. I'd say still a good deal
Thanks for the help, finally got the screen to a perfect spot for me, was so close returning it, since it felt such a down grade from my old screen. But now, it looks great.
Went with

Contrast 85
Sharpness 40

My settings are very similar but I would advise you to turn down sharpness or get glasses :D
Rule of thumb is turn the sharpness as low as possible without it being unsharp or blurry. So around 20-30 max with this monitor. Trust me you will damage your eyes otherwise
@@77LUCKYNUMBER77 bro what? i wear glasses already and 40 100% blurry for me i cant see unless its 80 shapness

Thanks for sharing your settings. Just got the G5 and loving it, this setting tweaks made it really pop; it looks fantastic.
hey man , still loving your g5 ? any issues you faced ?
@@blackraid1
Yep, still my main monitor. It is great! Would definitely buy it again.
@@MrSerbeus great to hear , all the best bud
I know i am 3 years late but does it still hold with you and should i buy 32 inch 27 inch the monitor is really cheap in my country and i have the redragon gm24x5ips is the same price but 1080p ips 165 hz its perfect in colors and response time what should i buy bro they said thay the samsung has ghosting and bla bla bla please help me broo
Is the g5 colors good?
@@DOOM-kf3py According to the game, for Windows it is fantastic and when playing some games the whites look extremely burnt, sometimes HDR solves it and other times it makes it worse depending on the game as I mentioned before. I bought it approximately 1 year ago and the truth is, although at first I was satisfied with playing several titles, I got too frustrated, trying settings for both the monitor and the nvidia control panel, I think the main problem is its VA panel... I would go for an ips without hesitation, at least to see the difference, I have the 27-inch 1440p 165hz model and the HDR issue bothers me a lot. I don't understand why sometimes I have to deactivate it so that a certain game looks good and other times activate it
Thanks for this! I have 32" G5 and my settings were awful i.e. dark areas were pixelated (this was caused by AV/PC mode being on AV for some reason) and colours were more-or-less "off", ignored these issues few first months, but after watching this and doing some tweaks of my own it looks waaaaay better! Still might need some minor tweaks, but definitely getting more out of my monitor now than ever before.
I tryed these settings now and on my screen all tekst is blurry and pixelatet now and i also have the 32' G5
@@dennisstub1998 me too
Great job discussing your preferences and reasoning. Yeah, when I first got this monitor, my previous display for literally everything was a 1080p 32 inch tv from walmart, branded "Element". While some people don't quite understand our fascination with tweaking our display settings to give us the greatest satisfaction, it's most certainly something I appreciate a great deal. The difference between 1080p @ 32 inch flat display, to a curved 32 inch 1440p, not to mention multiple layers of controllable backlighting is a real eye opener. After getting this monitor originally for my xbox one, I ended up deciding to just buy an entire Desktop PC a year later, just to see what i've been missing out on. Small tweaks and adjustments for personal preference is key in maximizing your entertainment experience. Those who don't do this, in my opinion, are really missing out. Thanks for explaining your reasoning behind the settings and clarification of personal preference on the settings that were more suited to your tastes.
What about the overdrive settings? I'm thinking of getting a 1440p 21:9 curved, but these only come with VA panels, I'm not sure if all these black smearing/picture dimming demonstrations on RUclips are because of inoptimal settings or just an inherent VA problem (search for "odyssey g5 ghosting" for example)
I also heard Samsung's G7 VA panels don't have this, but they're more expensive, don't come in 21:9 and nigh impossible to obtain where I live.
i just got this, how do you get the monitor volume/speakers to work? its on 100 but i cant hear anything
Is this 2k?
I just purchased the g55a model of the G5. Thank god I found this video because I was extremely disappointed when I first booted up this monitor. After using your settings and tweaking them a bit, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I'm so thankful I found this video
Hi. This is a long time after you posted this. Are you still happy with it and have you had any issues? Im looking to but this monitor but Ive seen a lot of people saying their samsung monitors break within a few months. Has this happened to you at all? Thanks
@@edgier_sharkz6556wsg brother. I noticed the other guy didn’t replied too u… I have same question but u need to answer now is it worth it I just got it?
These settings are great, been playing on my G5 with the stock settings for a week and noticed it was terribly "plain" and just not exciting and looked kind of matte and not so colorful. After using these settings it has made it 100x better. But the settings in Nvidia control panel you recommened made it terrible, i had to ignore those and leave those at stock. These settings can be a bit of a eye strain at night though if you are in a darker room. I also find keeping the sharpness at 42 was a bit better, but any higher and i noticed the pixelating starting. Thank you very much for these settings though, made such a huge difference.
🙏🏼
@@1UpNerdcore How do I turn off the blue flashing light near the button at the bottom of the monitor that you used at the beginning of the video. I find it harder to sleep with it on

@@thomasdevree your a legend. thanks
Mine looks the same its on xbox but i did these settings and it looks terrible and washed out
I noticed the darkish screen, too. Your base settings are good for me, thanks. I did crank up "Sharpness" a bit. That seemed to eliminate aliasing w/text. Thanks, again, for the settings and explanations.
Are you show. I swear it literally does nothing. 0 or 100 looks exactly the same.
@@Garycarlyle it must've been your monitor because I copied his exact same settings but adjusted sharpness because it was way too blurry at 24. Made mine 100
Just used your video to setup my monitor, I also have a Viotek side monitor so you calibration video got them so much closer in color saturation than the Samsung had with factory settings. Thank you!
Just got it in the post today watching this now. The curve is so nice 👌
Worked perfectly! The brightness I have it lower since I'm in a dark room, and the sharpness I have it at 100% since 24 seems bad in mine. The rest all was set up and looks a lot better! New subscriber here!
Thanks, this was super helpful in getting my G5 setup the way I wanted.
So happy you are releasing videos on a regular basis! 👍❤
Just picked one up myself, this video really helped the colours pop. Appreciate it bro 😄
Thanks for posting this video. I just got this monitor and your settings were a great starting point.
when u turn on freesync, alot of the other settings aren't available, why is this??
I just ordered this monitor and was looking for this video. Thank you
is this good choice for series s ?
@@serhattaninmis I haven’t looked much into it but it could be. I’m not sure if it supports 1440p tho. I saw some reviews where consoles with this monitor had ghosting but I’m not sure if they adjusted the settings
waiting for my g5 to arrive and i must say, im glad i found your channel. subbed!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks man. I decent starting point. I spent so much time trying to make my monitor look less grey and more like my previous Asus monitor. Windows 10 HDR setting is def part of the issue.
I find your brightness and gamma settings make the whites bleed and the tabs on my browser are no longer distinguishable and the extra red made whites look rust colour. But again, good starting point. Thank you.
Thanks! Used almost your settings for my G5 3440x1440 for an massive improvement.
Can u post the settings bro? I did the same except sharpness
monitor just came in today and i used this video as a reference to what settings to use, thanks!
How are you liking the monitor. I just ordered one.
@@Backcountrysimpilot really solid monitor, crisp, and very vibrant in color with no insane ghosting. my only complaint is that the stock settings are absolute crap. you will 100% need to tweak the color and brightness/sharpness in the monitor settings as well as the nvidia or amd color settings similar to the video and to your own liking. well worth it for $300 or lower.
@@jeff-nz3ij Can you email me your setting so I have a good base. mtmike1981@yahoo.com Thanks
for g55T 50/49/48 best settings, freesync off and response time fast or if you don't see the colors overshooting, it may be the fastest.
This video changed my opinion of my monitor. Thanks mate
After messing for way to long, I found these settings and a color profile at rtings review (its for lc34g55t)
Brightness: 21
Contrast: 70
RGB: 51-48-47
Gamma: Mode 1
Sharpness: 60 (56 is better on mine)
Black eq: 13
I also installed their ICC profile into windows. Left nvidia settings default, and use HDR.
I am not worried about monitor burning out with birghtness at 100, but my eyes would for sure. It was like reading on the sun. I am in a pretty dark room. Its really good settings for mine. For reading and gaming. I just adjust brightness in game, or pressing the monitor setting lever forward to compensate if some light should shine upon me.
I used the video settings first and with Freesync on my entire screen was one messed up blurry mess. I used your settings and now I think it's fine. Gotta do a little more testing.
@@UniQue1992 Glad to hear. It can be pretty frustrating proccess. I also have freesync on.
Getting a good baseline helps. Rest is amtter of taste ofc
For FPS games I saw a video saying its best to have freesync on, and vsync (set as global in nvidia panel) and fps cap 3 frames below max, so 162, using rivatuner that comes with msi afterburner.
This ensures max input no matter actual frames. Only tried one FPS game and it was indeed smooth. But im still running high on my 3080 so could be placebo
Dam you a life saver, these settings look real nice. Only thing is it's too low brightness. How could I increase it without changing much?
@@tahnx47 Use the brightness setting on the monitor. Just press the lever away from you and its the first setting. Brightness is dependent on room lighting. So its great that its an easy access setting on the monitor
Very good video which helped me to fix my problem with refresh rate.
sharpness 56 is good on mine, step below or above is bad, worth a try
Thanks for the video , works perfect with my series x !
Thanks my dude, this helped as a reference point.
nice vid, when i turn sharpness to around 20 its totally blurred out ..i use 64 and its crispy sharp ! .. kind of different
I put that bitch to 100 lol looks clean af
@@javr2367 facts😂💯
@@itzronmds6452 Lmaoo hell yea
Same
I believe your resolution is not correctly set.
For people that cant turn on free G-SYNC (setup with nvidia card) i had been same problem few months ago. Later i buy a certified display port cable and success (with cheap DP cable didn't work, like HDMI)
funny thing was that the cable it came with in the package did not allow to let me eneable freesync so as you said bought another one and tada works
Man thanks! Any brand or model you recommend. Running a 3060 ti and need some graphics help!
bro this fixed my 144hz problem. i tried so much even in my nvidia control panel and made a custom resolution, but my games would freeze on start up with a blinking mouse. After seeing the menu settings on the actual monitor I could change the refresh rate I did so and finally got everything to display 144 hz. Thanks, man for the guide to the monitor.
Awesome! I’m glad it helped!
great video! Lovin the color settings!
Thanks for this. Just got mine today and have subscribed.
I bought mine 10 days ago. For those asking if it's worth it, if you're just a casual who doesn't really care about being super competitive, then yes.
I play fps games casually and rpg/story games mostly (PC and PS4) and I like what I see. The rest I do with this monitor is browsing. Coming from an old 22" LG 60hz 1080p, I'm loving it. Plus, budget friendly. Ish.
Can't speak for the "elite gamers" because I'm not one lol.
As a tryhard fps and compétitive player I can say that the smearing on this screen is a real problem. But for casual gaming, this is worth it
Great info! Much appreciated
Colours were washed out on default settings. This is sooo much better!
These settings are amazing. thank you
thank you! just used your settings and they look good 😉
I was using ips 4k 144Hz and rip, got now G7 and really like better blacks and white with 240Hz never going back to TN and ips (ips nano with true 10bit coolor are pretty good but cost too much) I will keep my G7 for like 3 to 5 years and upgrade.
I really helps with my videos settings.. Thanks!!
Great vid. Can you recommend some settings for Warzone? I’m using this monitor on the PS5
i turned the sharpness back up into the 50s because in the 20s its so blurry that you cant tell what kind of material/texture something is
➡️ Also important to check if Monitor has an available Software update!!?
My G5 arriving this morning but I'm tempted to swap it for an *Acer Nitro XV340CKP*
Either way I'll test the G5 & follow these settings..
How do i check that?
Hey guys, everyone’s talking about the sharpening. So something that I just figured out was that the higher your sharpening is, the more smearing/ghosting you might get in your gameplay. So he may have his sharpness lowered than what “looks good” because of that very reason
Just a speculation and maybe I’m wrong. I’m trying to figure out the ghosting/smearing issue with this monitor as well.
Thanks dude, helped a lot
Thanks bro,got this monitor today and wasn't happy with the colours. After following your settings i have bright and brilliant colors just how I imagined. Ty
Is it good for watching movies??
@@music-library2614 yes, i watch movies and like it
Thanks you sharing! I using your settings.
very helpful bro thank you sooomuch
Been playing on a cheap $140 cured Samsung monitor for ab 4 years now. 1080 of course. Once I hooked up this G5 on my series x with 1440 @ 120 I find everything looks worse. Everything looks like super washed out.
For example while playing division 2 on my older monitor I could see extremely far with no blurring, now I cannot. Anything beyond 50 meters of my character has a slight blur.
Mine is the same way the settings just make it worse
@@Redd-mo5bt I’m honestly about to return it and get a dell 24 inch curved 1080. The blurring is so bad that it’s giving me headaches and I’m used to having 12-16 hour gaming sessions with no issue
Could you resolve this issue?
Hopefully this will help in gaming and hopefully Starfield. Cause its a mess rn.
I just got my G5 2 days ago and the next day i turned on my computer and half the screen was dark. i rebooted my computer and it was still dark. I un plugged the display port and re plugged it and it worked. but it was very scary and I have a feeling this monitor will not last long
That sucks!
That happened me and I reset my settings and turned off my monitor

alot better than default setting s but for some reason green colour looks like too bright for example nvidia control panel icon lookt like its too much bright idk
Turn down saturation a little and it’ll help or turn greens down in color settings

have you found a fix ?
Thanks buddy 😊
Any tips for the settings for ps5? There's not much option once connect. It seems a bit dim for me
You bought the wrong monitor for a ps5
you are supposed to set things like low input lag before turning on FreeSync. The low lnput lag is one of its best features, giving you an instant advantage over non-odyssey noobs
that being said I am on the g9 lol
Is there a specific reason as to why it’s telling me the low input function isn’t available?
I think this settings ar enot working for g5 34" for me this settings makes the monitor terible if I put sharpness below to 50 it is impossible to read nothing, for me it must be around 60/70 for a good result, can anyone suggest me any video or post where they give correct setting for the ultrawide G5 it's being very hard to find anything
Thanks for the help!!!!!

Just got the G5 and I was worried about the ghosting for call of duty and first person shooters but it was not a big issue at all.

Check your sharpness settings on the monitor and see if you can change the response time in the settings
Hi, I just got this monitor to but I can’t hear any of the sound? Any tips ty
Can the G55A output at up to & above 120Hz when FreeSync is enabled? From what I understand, VRR tech can dynamically adjust a display's refresh rate from the lowest possible refresh rate of the display to the highest possible refresh rate of the display.

This is a little older but a great video on this
The monitor is here and I have no complaints.
I paid 280$ for the 27in version which was a steal considering that similar monitors like the G27 where around 350.
My unit has no black smearing issues,no dead or burnt pixels but there's a bit of backlight bleed at the bottom so I guess I didn't win the panel lottery.
wierd when I turn on freesync I can't change black levels or gamma etc. All greyed out :S. Even updated the firmware
If I connect the speaker using aux cable I am not getting any audio output can you please help me with this ??
You’ll need to make sure the pc is set to play audio through the G5 and not another sources make sure the panel volume is set high enough
Does this work with Gsync compatibility ? I just ordered this and want to know if the freesync on this will work with rtx 3070
It will, it’s not officially certified but it works
