This 34 inch Samsung Odyssey G55T is a curved 3440 by 1440, 165 hertz gaming monitor that looks strong for the price, especially for bright rooms and everyday play. The panel type is the key detail to verify, since the listing does not spell it out clearly and that omission is treated as a red flag. The seller also draws scrutiny because the warranty language is only 90 days and the open box condition can be inconsistent. Still, the monitor itself has been described as solid and good looking, with some purchases from VIP Outlet arriving as described and resolved cleanly when issues came up.

Common Questions (4)

  • VIP Outlet has delivered items as described for some purchases and has resolved issues with returns, missing items, and refunds. Other purchases arrived heavily used or incomplete despite "new damaged box" wording, so the deal can be a gamble even when the price is good.

  • The G55T is a 34-inch curved VA gaming monitor, and that panel type is expected at this price. IPS and OLED alternatives in this size and price range are typically much more expensive or slower, so VA is the practical tradeoff here.

  • The listing language mentions a 90-day warranty and also says "fully warranted," but the manufacturer warranty is not clearly stated. That matters because Samsung may not honor coverage after day 91 if the unit is treated as not truly new or sold through an unauthorized channel.

  • Yes. It was reportedly on sale new for $229 at Walmart until a couple of weeks ago, so a new-price drop may happen again if you want to avoid open-box/refurbished risk.

Why, would panel did you expect on a 34" curved 'gaming' monitor for $200? IPS panels in this price range are normally 100hz / 5ms...at best. And good luck finding an OLED for even double this. Seems like if you knew enough to run away, you wouldn't even have looked at it to begin with.

What I personally don't like is "90 day warranty" from VIP Outlet, but no mention from the manufacturer. Also how do they have so many of these monitors with "New Damaged Box - Inventory is in Brand New, Unused & Fully Functional condition however the outer packaging will show signs of scuffs, dents, rips or may have also been repackaged.." Seems odd. And what do they mean "fully warranted" when they also state the warranty is 90-days. "Fully warranted" from whom? I'd probably buy if I knew Samsung would warranty after the 91st day but based on the listing....can't be sure as Samsung could argue the product wasn't truly new nor was the "refurbisher" an authorized retailer.

I will never buy another Samsung monitor...they have a tendency to go out right after the warranty is over.

What's wrong with VIP Outlet? The two times I had to deal with their CS (once for return, and once for a missing item) they did fine.

Sounds like a great deal for a decent monitor. FWIW I have bought from VIP Outlet a few times (on eBay and on their website) and never had an issue, everything was as described.

I certainly won't argue that there are people that have had a decent experience with vipoutlet, I'll just argue that it's not something you can count on. The prices can be really good, so it might be worth the crap shoot if it's something you're in the market for whatever they're selling.

I just know that my last purchase, a surround sound speaker set, described as this item - "New Damaged Box - Inventory is in Brand New, Unused & Fully Functional condition however the outer packaging will show signs of scuffs, dents, rips or may have also been repackaged." - had a smashed in corner on the subwoofer and no cables other than the power, so I had to buy the cables for the satellite speakers separately and use audio cables I already had.

I spent several weeks emailing them with no response, and finally when I threatened to go direct to eBay, they responded and eventually refunded me $20 (barely more than the cost of the speaker cables). No concern about the incorrect description of the condition or the audio cables (since I hadn't explicitly purchased them for this). I felt insulted, and they made it clear they feel no obligation to honor their listings. They basically just chalked it up as an "oopsie" and told me to get lost after throwing $20 at me. So, as for me and my house, we'll get lost and not worry about doing business with them ever again.

I too did returns with them and never had problems before until I did. I am one of the recent negative feedbacks from them. I will never deal with them again.

To monitor experts, I am looking for a 43" monitor to replace my old and broken 43" Acer monitor. What brand and model do you recommend? Nothing fancy. I don't play games so I don't want to pay for the features I don't need. It is mainly for work as I can easily have 4 non-overlapping windows open. Occasionally I use the full screen to watch YouTube videos. It needs to come with its own stand as I can't mount it on the wall. Thank you!

I will never buy anything from VIPOUTLET again. Bought a supposed new / box-only damage monitor and it showed up heavily used with the corner of the LCD PEELED OFF THE FRAME. The only thing I will give them minimal credit for is giving me a full refund.
