27-Inch QHD Display for Detailed Gaming

The Samsung Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EW features a 27-inch-class display with a native resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels.

QHD provides approximately 1.78 times the pixel count of Full HD, allowing games, textures, character models and environmental details to appear sharper on the same-sized screen.

The increased resolution also provides useful workspace for everyday computing, making the LS27FG502EW monitor suitable for both gaming and productivity.

Whether you are exploring detailed game environments, watching videos or browsing the web, the QHD resolution delivers a clear and detailed viewing experience.

Fast IPS Technology for Consistent Colours

The Fast IPS panel combines wide viewing angles with responsive pixel transitions.

Unlike panels that can show significant colour shifts when viewed away from the centre, IPS technology is designed to maintain consistent image quality across a wide viewing area.

With 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, the Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EW is suitable for different seating positions and shared viewing environments.

The 99% sRGB colour coverage also supports vibrant, natural-looking colours for gaming, streaming and everyday multimedia.

Ultra-Smooth 180Hz Refresh Rate

The Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EW features a 180Hz refresh rate, allowing the screen to refresh up to 180 times per second.

Compared with conventional 60Hz monitors, th

is higher refresh rate can deliver substantially smoother motion when the connected system produces sufficiently high frame rates.

It is particularly useful for:

• Competitive FPS gaming
• Racing games
• Battle royale titles
• Action games
• Fast-paced multiplayer
• Rapid camera movements
• Target tracking

For gamers upgrading from a standard 60Hz display, the 180Hz refresh rate offers a smoother and more responsive experience.

1ms GtG Response Time

The monitor offers a rated 1ms Grey-to-Grey (GtG) response time.

GtG measures how quickly a pixel transitions between different shades of grey. Faster pixel transitions can help reduce visible ghosting and trailing around moving objects.

Combined with the 180Hz refresh rate, the 1ms GtG specification makes the Odyssey G5 a strong option for players who prioritise quick reactions and clear motion.

Actual motion clarity depends on the selected response-time settings, the game and the graphics hardware.

HDR10 for Enhanced Visual Depth

The Samsung Odyssey G5 supports HDR10, allowing compatible games and multimedia content to use a wider range of brightness and tonal information.

HDR10 can enhance the difference between bright highlights and dark shadows, helping supported scenes appear more detailed and immersive.

The monitor combines HDR10 support with 300 cd/m² typical brightness and a 1000:1 typical static contrast ratio.

For the best results, HDR performance also depends on the source content, system settings and viewing environment.

99% sRGB Colour Gamut

The Odyssey G5 supports 99% sRGB colour coverage, providing a broad range of colours for gaming and everyday content.

The display supports up to 16.7 million colours, helping reproduce colourful environments, textures and multimedia content with natural-looking tones.

This makes it suitable for:

• PC gaming
• Console gaming
• Movies and streaming
• Web browsing
• Everyday productivity
• General multimedia

The monitor is primarily designed for gaming and everyday use rather than specialised colour-critical production.

AMD FreeSync & NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible

The Odyssey G5 supports AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible technology.

Adaptive synchronisation helps coordinate the monitor’s refresh rate with the frame rate produced by compatible graphics hardware. This can reduce visual issues such as:

• Screen tearing
• Stuttering
• Uneven frame transitions

These technologies are particularly useful when game frame rates fluctuate during demanding scenes.

For optimal results, use compatible graphics hardware and enable the relevant variable refresh rate settings.

Black Equalizer for Better Visibility

The Black Equalizer feature lets users adjust visibility in darker areas of a game.

In titles featuring caves, night scenes, dark corridors or shadowed corners, carefully adjusted dark-level settings can help reveal details that might otherwise be difficult to see.

Black Equalizer is especially useful for:

• First-person shooters
• Battle royale games
• Tactical shooters
• Dark action games
• Competitive multiplayer

It provides an additional way to customise the picture for different gaming environments.

Virtual Aim Point for Gaming Precision

The Virtual Aim Point feature adds an on-screen crosshair to support aiming in compatible gaming scenarios.

The overlay provides a visible aiming reference without requiring a separate physical accessory.

It can be useful for users who prefer a customised aiming point in supported games. Its practical usefulness depends on the game and the player’s preferred control style.

Super Arena Gaming UX

Samsung’s Super Arena Gaming UX brings together supported gaming-oriented settings and tools in an interface designed for convenient access.

It complements features such as Black Equalizer and Virtual Aim Point, helping users customise their display for different gaming situations.

This makes it easier to tailor the monitor experience to personal preferences and individual game requirements.

Auto Source Switch+ for Convenient Device Switching

The Auto Source Switch+ feature detects when a connected source device is turned on and automatically switches the monitor to the new input signal.

This reduces the need to manually navigate the input menu every time you start using another connected device.

It is particularly convenient for setups that use multiple compatible sources, such as:

• Gaming PC
• Gaming laptop
• Console
• Secondary computer

The monitor also supports image-size adjustment, providing additional control over how compatible content is displayed.

Eye Saver Mode & Flicker Free Technology

The Odyssey G5 incorporates features designed to support comfortable viewing during extended gaming and productivity sessions.

Eye Saver Mode

Eye Saver Mode adjusts the display settings to reduce blue-light output, helping create a more comfortable viewing experience during prolonged use.

Flicker Free

Flicker Free technology is designed to reduce screen flickering that may contribute to viewing discomfort for some users.

These features can be useful for gamers, students and professionals who spend long periods in front of a monitor. Regular breaks and suitable screen positioning remain important for overall comfort.

Ergonomic Stand with Height, Tilt, Swivel & Pivot

Unlike a basic fixed stand, the Samsung Odyssey G5 includes a fully adjustable ergonomic stand.

The stand allows users to position the screen according to their desk layout and preferred viewing posture.

Stand Adjustments

• Height Adjustment: 105mm ±5mm
• Tilt: Approximately -3° to 25°
• Swivel: Approximately -45° to 45°
• Pivot: Approximately -92° to 92°

The pivot function allows the display to rotate into portrait orientation, which can be useful for reading long documents, coding and viewing vertically oriented content.

VESA 100 × 100mm Mounting Support

The LS27FG502EW monitor supports 100 × 100mm VESA mounting, allowing installation on compatible monitor arms and wall mounts.

VESA compatibility is useful for:

• Custom gaming desks
• Space-saving workstations
• Multi-monitor setups
• Wall-mounted installations
• Adjustable monitor arms

This gives users more flexibility when creating a personalised gaming or productivity environment.

Connectivity for Gaming & Everyday Use

The Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EW provides HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity for compatible computers and gaming devices.

Video Connectivity

• HDMI
• DisplayPort

The supplied specifications do not specify the exact port revisions or number of ports, so these details should be confirmed against the product label or regional Samsung specification sheet before publication.

The LS27FG502EW monitor has no built-in speakers, making headphones, a headset or external speakers the appropriate choice for audio.

Windows 11 Compatibility

The Odyssey G5 LS27FG502EW carries Windows 11 certification, supporting integration with compatible Windows gaming and productivity systems.

Combined with QHD resolution, 180Hz refresh rate and adaptive synchronisation, the monitor is suitable for modern PC gaming setups.

The actual refresh rate available depends on the graphics card, connection, cable and system configuration.
