Key Specs at a Glance

QHD Clarity Meets Fast IPS Precision

The Odyssey G50D packs 1.7x the pixel density of Full HD, so every texture, shadow, and explosion appears razor-sharp. Its Fast IPS panel delivers consistent colours and a wide 178° viewing angle, meaning you get the same vivid clarity whether you’re sitting front-on or slightly off-centre. With 99% sRGB coverage, colours are accurate enough for both gaming and creative work.

180Hz Refresh Rate for Competitive Edge

Lag can cost you a match. The 180Hz refresh rate here redraws the screen up to 180 times per second, keeping motion fluid and input delay minimal. Paired with a 1ms response time, fast-moving targets stay sharp and ghosting is virtually eliminated—perfect for FPS, racing, and sports titles where reaction speed matters.

VESA DisplayHDR 400 for Deeper Contrast

Bright whites and deep blacks make a difference in dark scenes. DisplayHDR 400 boosts contrast and brightness, helping you spot enemies hiding in shadows or see fine details in gloomy environments. The 350 cd/m² typical brightness ensures on-screen content pops, even in well-lit rooms.

AMD FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible

Screen tearing kills immersion. This monitor supports both AMD FreeSync and is G-Sync compatible, synchronising the display’s refresh rate with your GPU to deliver tear-free, stutter-free gameplay. Whether you’re on an NVIDIA or AMD system, you’ll get smooth, uninterrupted action.

Eye Saver Mode & Flicker-Free Tech

Long gaming sessions shouldn’t strain your eyes. Eye Saver Mode cuts harmful blue light, while flicker-free technology removes the subtle screen flicker that can cause fatigue. These features help you stay comfortable and focused, even during marathon sessions.

Ergonomic Stand for Custom Comfort

Comfort affects performance. The fully adjustable stand lets you swivel ±30°, tilt -2° to +25°, and raise the screen by up to 12 cm. Pivot rotation (±92°) allows portrait mode if needed. VESA mounting is supported for alternative setups.
