Released at the end of November 2021, the 24-inch Samsung CRG5 curved gaming monitor is no match to its Odyssey-labeled siblings, but it delivers very good value to gamers on a tight budget. Thanks to the ongoing 48% discount, those still gaming at 1080p and don't need more than 144 Hz can grab this piece of hardware for the best price since December 2022. Amazon customers can get it for US$129.99 instead of US$249.99. Samsung US also has the LC24RG50FZNXZA model discounted, but they offer it for US$149.99, down from the same list price.
In addition to the resolution, refresh rate, and screen size mentioned above, this monitor's list of essentials also includes a 1800R curve, AMD Freesync support, 3,000:1 static contrast ratio, 4 ms GtG response time, 250 nits typical brightness (minimum value is 200), 178-degree viewing angles, and 72% NTSC 1976 color gamut. The connectivity options available are a pair of HDMI 1.2 ports, a single DP 1.4, as well as one 3.5 mm headphone jack. Unfortunately, there is no support for a VESA mount.
The Samsung CRG5 ships with an HDMI cable and sports a rather rigid stand that only features tilt adjustment. After 713 user reviews, this monitor has a 4.7/5 rating on Amazon. The breakdown by feature focuses on four attributes, separated into two pairs with the same rating. The buyers' votes resulted in a 4.4/5 for picture quality and value, alongside a 4.3 rating for gaming performance and screen quality. Samsung US users, on the other hand, rated the LC24RG50FZNXZA lower, the monitor's score being 4.4/5 after 96 reviews.
