The Samsung S32AG520 is equipped with a 165Hz WQHD IPS panel
The 32-inch screen gives a reasonable pixel density at 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) while also providing an immersive experience in general. This is provided by the Samsung S32AG520 (also known as S32AG52 or LS32AG52 with various regional suffixes) of the Odyssey G5 series.
There is a lot of matte black plastic used throughout, and there are large 'cheeks' on either side of the bottom bezel, which is identical to other models in the series. In contrast to the G7 variants, RGB LEDs are not present on this model. The OSD (On Screen Display) is operated by a joystick that is oriented downwards and by shortcut keys that are located in the center of the bottom bezel.
A 31.5-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (WQHD or 1440p) is used. Along with this, the monitor has an ultra-fast 165Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync, which includes Nvidia's 'G-SYNC Compatible Mode' and AMD FreeSync Premium – with a VRR range of 48 to 165Hz, as well as low-friction control. An anti-glare screen with a light matte finish is provided, as well as a 1000:1 static contrast ratio, viewing angles of 178° and 178°, and 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) color depth compatibility. With a flicker-free WLED backlight, you can achieve a 99 percent sRGB color gamut and a maximum luminance of 350 cd/m2 (400 cd/m2 HDR peak) with no compromise on quality. The 27-inch model (27AG500) has a claimed 99 percent color gamut, however it is equipped with a Nano IPS panel that offers 98 percent DCI-P3 coverage, which may also be the case in this instance. Support for VESA DisplayHDR 400 is incorporated, allowing for the usage of 10-bit color processing as well as the potential for an enlarged color gamut. It does not necessitate a particularly high luminance in accordance with HDR standards or the use of local dimming, though.
'ComfortView' is a function that uses low blue light (LBL) settings to help you relax while you're watching television. A 1ms grey to grey response time is mentioned (approach with caution), as well as a 'Low Input Lag' setting, which should be used in conjunction with the response time. 'UltraWide Game View' is also available, which forces a 21:9 aspect ratio and increases the Field of View (FOV) in a variety of video games. The provided stand can be removed to make room for a different 100 x 100mm VESA compatible solution, which is not included. It has tilt and height adjustments (120mm or 4.72 inches), as well as the ability to swivel into portrait mode. The attachment point for the stand is surrounded by a blue 'core,' however unlike the Odyssey G7 and G9 variants, there is no LED lighting included. The connections are located on the bottom of the device and include a 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI 2.0, 1.2a+ (with HDR feature set), and a DC power input (for connecting an additional 'power brick').
Further details can be found on the manufacturer’s website.

It's 8bit, achieving 10bit through FRC. If you want 10bit, pass.
As for WQHD, I'd be impressed if the monitor was 24'', not 32''.

If they could make one with a mini led back light to get the HDR spec up I would buy it.

Why would you care when 960Hz FRC is indistinguishable from actual 10 bit? Same difference.

Nice 10bit WQHD IPS 32". Shame it's only HDR400, I would have liked at least 600. But it's nice to see Samsung use IPS instead of VA for a change.
