This curved VA panel delivers immersion, deep blacks, good value. The Samsung Odyssey G5 is a great value 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor, and today it’s even better value than normal thanks to a price drop and discount code at Currys in the UK.

Here’s why we rate this particular CPU at this discounted price....
