The G5 takes the essentials of the G7 and drops the extras. You lose the quantum dots with true HDR 600 support, 240hz, lose the adjustable stand, the RGB, and the extra USB ports. That sounds like a lot to sacrifice...but what you're left with is a gaming monitor that is reduced down to its essentials, for under half the price. You still get 1440p, a low response time especially for a VA panel,144hz--which still is more than enough for most people--and the 1000R curve in a 32 inch monitor.
Reading some of the reviews about ghosting, I was a little apprehensive as I have personal experience with VA panel ghosting and know what to look for, but out of the box and with a little setup, that apprehension is unfounded. When the monitor is set to 144hz with Freesync enabled, there is, to my peception, essentially zero perceptible VA overshoot over on BlurBusters. The little UFO's are as crisp as I've seen on any other good 144hz panel. There's none of the dark overshoot typical of VA panels present. The panel behaves more or less like its more expensive brother did at 144hz, where it had zero ghosting, and then the tiniest bit at 240, indicating to me that 144hz is this technology's current sweet spot.
If I had to suspect, the issues other reviewers encountered might have to do with disabling Freesync and setting the monitor's response rate to overdrive mode. I have yet to ever see a VA panel that DOESN'T ghost in their overdrive setting; even the mighty G7 and G9 suffer from it. It's best avoided. Overdrive is necessary to reach the advertised "1ms" response rate, and you get a drop to 2-3ms response times when you let the monitor manage itself, but that's still class-competitive and only perceptible to a professional-grade, hardcore gamer. And if you're one of those, why are you buying this panel?
Setup was easy. My Nvidia drivers recognized the monitor's capabilities right out of the box, setting the correct resolution and refresh rate and automatically enabling Freesync. The on screen controls are very easy to use, and it has some helpful features like crosshair overlays that I probably won't be taking advantage of...but they're nice to have.
If I have some criticisms about the monitor they would be that the stand does lack any real adjustability to it. You're left with just a bit of tilt, though you do have a VESA mount to install your own mounting solution. Also, while the HDR looks supririsingly good in my testing, the lack of full Freesync Premium Pro means you're left choosing between HDR -or- Freesync, rather than using both simultaneously. I didn't buy this monitor for its HDR, but it's something to note if that's a selling point to you.
Finally, the elephant in the room: the curve. I personally like it quite a bit, but I come from a similarly-sized, less aggressively curved monitor, so I adjusted quickly. If you're coming from a flat panel, you may have issues with it. After while, I think most will come to appreciate the edges of the monitor being brought to the same distance from their eyes as the center in a monitor of this size. At the same time, I can understand it's a dealbreaker for some.
In the end you're left with a gaming monitor that has everything you need but very, very little extras. If I could knock half a star off for the not-quite-realized HDR support and stand, I would, but balancing it with the $370 MSRP and the fact I scored it for $295 on Prime day, I can't in good faith pull a full star from my rating. Once a product is that far removed from flagship monitors in price, you can't reasonably expect a full flagship experience. But to get the essence of that experience at this price is, to me, closer to a 5 stars than anything.

-The curve! That curve is absolutely fantastic and will make it hard to go back to any flat screen in my opinion.
-Size! 27 or 32 inches is perfect for any 1 person gaming setup. (I have the 27 inch and its perfect, especially with that curve)
-Freesync (Gsync maybe)! Been using this on my Xbox, Freesync works no problem.
-144hz. Can't test this as my Xbox only goes to 60hz, but I'm sure it would have worked well with my Series X.
-Deep blacks and great "picture" quality. Picture is in quotes for a reason ill get to in a sec. Blacks are inky and contrast is good for a $300 monitor. VA dark room performance is better than IPS panels as expected.
The above all sounds good right? It checks all the right feature boxes, and sounds like the perfect $300 monitor right? Sadly, wrong! For really only one reason listed below.
Negatives:
-GHOSTING!!!!! The response time is AWFUL! Everything in motion smears! Hence the "picture" in quotes above. The screen looks great when a static image is displayed, but the second things are in motion its a smudgey mess. Instantly noticeable over my IPS 75hz Freesync panel. Absolutely disgraceful! There is no reason to own a monitor with such great features and high refresh rate when the ghosting is going to ruin any of those benefits.
Obviously, I would not recommend this monitor to anyone looking for picture quality or competitive edge. The 1 con far outweighs all of this monitors pros, unfortunately. Unless you're shelling out for a Samsung G7 monitor, I would steer clear of monitors with VA panels as well.
I honestly expected more from Samsung, but this monitor was the worst I've ever owned. Whenever you scroll, everything dark or black leaves trails. You don't even need to scroll fast. This is especially bad with dark sites/programs such as Steam, and normal white pages with text. I've never owned a monitor that has been that bad. Even the 144hz line on testufo/blur busters had horrible blur to it. That doesn't happen on my other monitors. I tried a different DP cable and moving the port on my GPU, no fix.
Also, the HDR isn't good on this monitor. Turning it on makes everything kind of warm. It makes it look like you have the blue light filter turned on. Everything (especially whites) have a kind of reddish hue. It also causes all Windows text to look broken up and fuzzy. Running ClearText doesn't fix this. You can turn up the HDR brightness in Windows Color which helps with the reddish hue but makes the text and everything else look worse. Turning HDR off makes everything look "normal" again, but at the cost of no HDR.
The monitor also has a fair amount of backlight bleed. Not the worst I've had with a monitor, but enough to notice.
I will say that I don't care for the extreme curvature either. That may be a personal preference sort of thing, but it took about a week to get used to it. Even then I found it to be a hindrance in anything but games. Doing any kind of photo or video editing with that high of a curvature was a bit of a pain due to things sort of looking stretched as you moved out towards the edges. I think a high curvature like this would be good if the monitor was much bigger (like their 49" one), but a 32" is too small to be that curved. I have an AOC monitor with a slight curve to it which is nice. Also, the extreme curve of the Samsung monitor causes it to be really deep. So whether you're having it sit on your desk or using a VESA mount, it sits MUCH closer to you than a flat or slightly curved monitor due to the extra few inches of thickness.
I finally returned this today after owning for about two weeks. No amount of messing with the settings could fix this, so I've bought a different brand of monitor which (when it gets here) I hope will be better. Maybe I just got a bad one, but as it stands, I couldn't recommend this to anyone. It's inexpensive, but it's also "cheap". You're going to have a monitor for awhile, so spend a little extra to make sure you get a good one.

There is some ghosting but not noticeable unless you’re testing it. Otherwise no issues.
I managed to get freesync enables with my nvidia rtx2070 gsync using both hdmi and display port cables at 2k 144hz. So you don’t need to shell out for a display port cable. A typical hdmi cable does the job.
The one minor issue with this is the brightness. It’s very bright but compare to a 27” Samsung I had previously it’s not as bright. But that’s just with a side by side comparison. Otherwise it’s plenty bright!
I can’t comment for pro gamers but for everyday people this monitor is more than great!
I have it installed on a monitor mount and using a folding table. I’m writing this because I couldn’t find anyone else talking about this. If your folding table has a metal frame you can do it without any issues. Just make sure you put the mount base it as close to the middle as you can so the weight falls on the metal border and the metal middle bar and not on the plastic part of the table.
I’m loving it so far. Coming from a 1080p 27” I really enjoy the bigger display and I sit about 2.5 feet away
Also 2k at 32” is much nicer than 1080p on a 27”. I was curious about the difference and I can report it’s a much nicer image.

I had a 32in 4K and 60Hz monitor before (which has now become my TV) and it was honestly too large when used at a desk, with the edges being distorted by the large viewing angle. Plus, while fun sometimes, I don't miss the 4K at all. For a desk monitor in the 21-27in range I think 1440 is the sweet spot.
