Samsung Odyssey SAMSUNG Odyssey G75F 37" UHD 4K 165Hz with AMD Review
The Samsung Odyssey G75F combines a sharp 4K picture with a 165Hz refresh rate on a deeply curved screen. It's a fantastic all-rounder, if you have the space for it.
The 30-Second Version
The Samsung Odyssey G75F is a stunning 4K, 165Hz curved monitor that's fantastic for gaming and creative work. Its 95th percentile color and display scores are the real highlights. Worth buying if you find it on sale and have a powerful PC to drive it.
Overview
The Samsung Odyssey G75F is a 37-inch 4K beast that wants to be your only screen. It's got the curve, the high refresh rate, and the pixel density to make both gaming and creative work look incredible. With scores in the 90s for gaming and creative use, this isn't a one-trick pony. It's a massive, immersive canvas that tries to do it all.
And for the most part, it succeeds. The 1000R curve pulls you into the action, while the 4K resolution keeps everything razor-sharp. It's a monitor that makes a statement on your desk, both in size and in performance. Just make sure your desk—and your graphics card—are ready for it.
Performance
This thing is fast. A 165Hz refresh rate at 4K is no joke, and it lands in the 93rd percentile for performance in our database. Games feel buttery smooth, and the 1ms response time keeps motion clear. The VA panel delivers deep blacks with that 3000:1 contrast ratio, which is great for dark scenes. The only real performance hiccup is the brightness. At 350 nits, the HDR10+ support feels a bit underwhelming compared to monitors with higher peak brightness. It's HDR in name, but don't expect mini-LED levels of pop.

Value & Pricing
Prices are all over the place, swinging from $600 to $1200 depending on the vendor. At the lower end of that range, this monitor is an absolute steal for the specs you get. At the high end, you start flirting with QD-OLED territory, which makes the decision tougher. Shop around. If you can snag it for under $800, it's a fantastic value for a high-performance 4K curved screen.
Price History
vs Competition
Stacked up, it's a compelling alternative to the more expensive giants. It's more manageable than the ultra-wide Samsung 57" Neo G9, but still gives you that immersive curve. Compared to the ASUS ROG Swift 32" QD-OLED, you're trading perfect blacks and instant response for higher brightness (in SDR) and no fear of burn-in. And next to something like the LG UltraGear 45", you're getting a much sharper 4K picture versus that screen's lower pixel density. It carves out a nice niche as a sharp, fast, curved 4K option.

Common Questions
Q: How curved is the screen?
It's a 1000R curve, which is quite aggressive. It's designed to wrap around your field of view for maximum immersion, especially in games.
Q: What kind of power cable does it use?
It uses a standard internal power supply that works anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, so you shouldn't need a voltage converter.
Q: Is this good for photo or video editing?
Yes, absolutely. Its color performance is in the 95th percentile, making it highly accurate for creative work, and the 4K resolution provides plenty of screen real estate.
Who Should Skip This
If portability or a minimalist setup is a priority, look elsewhere. This monitor scores in the 8th percentile for compactness. It's a 25-pound behemoth. Also, if you're a competitive esports player who prioritizes ultra-high refresh rates over resolution, a 240Hz+ 1440p monitor would be a better fit.
Verdict
Buy this if you're a gamer or content creator who wants a single, massive, and immersive 4K display. You need to value that 1000R curve and have the desk space and GPU horsepower to back it up. It's a do-it-all screen that excels in almost every area except being subtle.
