You can connect external speakers via the monitor's 3.5 mm headphone connection if your speakers have a corresponding input. The monitor itself does not have built-in speakers and the USB-A port does not support audio output. You can connect Bluetooth speakers directly to your computer, not via the monitor.
The Odyssey G5 G55C has a USB-A port, but it is not designed for audio output. According to the product properties, the monitor does not support USB audio output as no corresponding functions are listed.
I recommend the following options for connecting a system:
1. use the 3.5 mm jack connection on the monitor (if available, not explicitly mentioned in the product properties, but described as a possible solution in Community discussions and tutorials).
2. connect an external USB sound adapter directly to your device (e.g. MacBook), as the monitor does not offer a USB audio output via its USB-A port.
Note: The official product specifications do not list USB audio functionality, so it is better to control the audio output directly from the source device (e.g. via Bluetooth or USB sound card).
The screen is suitable for sim racing as it offers a high refresh rate of 165 Hz and a fast response time of 1 ms, which is required for smooth and responsive gaming. The VA panel technology and AMD FreeSync support minimise image tearing and input latency for an optimal gaming experience. However, the use of three monitors for sim racing could offer even better visibility, but this places higher demands on the graphics card.
AMD FreeSync™¹ technology puts an end to jerkiness and ripped images, for smooth, artefact-free visuals at virtually any frame rate. Discover the next evolution in PC and console gaming.
There must have been a mistake, the product images of the white monitor are incorrect. Thank you for pointing this out, I will have the incorrect images removed by the relevant department.
No, the Samsung Odyssey G5 G55C monitor does not come with an HDMI cable as standard. You will need to purchase the cable separately as it only comes with a DisplayPort cable.
