I'm trying to decide between the Odyssey G5 (IPS) and the G6 (VA; Curved), and I'm curious about their value. The G5 costs around $230-250, while the G6 is priced around $375. I'm particularly interested in whether the G6 has issues like ghosting or black smearing that are often seen with VA panels. Also, is the response time an issue? And for the G5, how bad is the IPS glow? Are the contrast levels acceptable too? Any insights would be appreciated!

I’ve got the G5, and honestly, it's one of the best monitors I've used. It looks super clean and slick. You might need to tweak the contrast a bit, especially if you're in a dark room; it can be slightly off. I'd rate it around 6 or 7 out of 10, but it's still a solid choice!
I usually game with the lights on. How are the colors on it? Are they vibrant?
