Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung Odyssey G5

Best Praise
+26 pts
“I think most of the advantages of an OLED monitor disappear when you're in a properly lit room. However, if you use your computer in a cave, OLED is the best technology you can get, so it's perfect for Batman, vampires, and reddit users who haven’t seen sunlight in years xD”

“That is Overshoot caused because the pixel transition over pases the objective of colour... But since you have a G5 if you reduce Overdrive then you get black smearing... Actually you have VA black smearing but the Overshoot is so high That is more notable... So sorry, your monitor is not broken... Just... Just... Just... How I say this... Is SHIT at Motion handling”
