Working on documents or straight lines is offputting. What to know about a curved monitor for office use

The Samsung Odyssey G5 has a great edge to edge design with no bezel on three sides, and a very small bezel across the bottom.Ĭable management is decent it’s possible to run the cable down the stand for a tidier look. The Samsung monitor supports laptops, PCs, and Macs with it’s single HDMI.

Even with my very tall monitor arm set at its highest height, this monitor sat low enough that with my laptop in front of it, it blocked part of the screen. This means it sits incredibly low on any surface. The VESA connection port, used to attach this to any wall mount or monitor arm or stand is placed very high on the top third of the back of the monitor. Here I noticed something important for those who might be using this in a more office type configuration. There’s also a headphone jack.įor my home office configuration I opted to place the monitor on a freestanding Kensington monitor arm to open up space on my desk. When it comes to inputs, there’s only the single HDMI input, but there is also that DP connector for hooking up a PC.

I had my Samsung monitor connected to my Apple MacBook Pro in seconds.

The manual says it comes with both so maybe this is just a mistake in my package. In the box there is a DP or Display Port Cable, but I did not get an HDMI cable. This monitor is almost plug and play when it comes to the set up.
