    The scanlines only seem to be there on 240hz and in the oranges/yellows as well as blues. If you drop it down to 120hz there are no scanlines. Hopefully that means it can be patched out because they’re definitely annoying.

      Did you try to use custom frequencies in a gpu driver like 230, 220, 210, 200, 190? Maybe scanlines will disappear at 230 or 190 hz instead of using 120 hz.

      Unfortunately it's a legacy problem with Samsung, but the problem only occurs typically at 200hz and up so honestly it's not to bad of a problem unless you play at 1080 or 1440 for the frames

      I wrote samsung because of that and they said that its "a Nvidia Bug" and the support couldn´t tell me if its fixed. Maybe folks with AMD Cards don´t have these scanlines

    *** Here is all my favorite settings list of both SDR and HDR ***
    I tell you guys this Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is very good monitor.
    But...
    You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals!
    But if you got the G7 Neo model then just try see if that good for you...
    This is very important settings with " Saturation " this give more color for to both SDR and HDR.
    Well, best settings is Saturation with 58 or 60 or 70.
    I use 70 for both SDR and HDR.
    Depending on which movies or games to run.
    See and test what is fit well best.
    Also important that " Local Dimming " to High or Auto.
    Sometimes better use with High and sometimes better use Auto, depend on.
    But you need use both High and Auto, However use often with High.
    If you like can use also with Low, but i never use Low.
    "Local Dimming" is important for both SDR and HDR.
    This thing has do with Mini-LED.
    You can change " Contrast Enhancer " On or Off, if you like it.
    " Black Equalizer " 13 is great but you can change from 9 to 16 or up to 20 if you like it.
    9 to 16 is great
    " Contrast " with 75 and 80, 90 and 100 fine.
    You can change Gamma Mode 1 or 2 or 3.
    I use 1 and 2.
    Even you can change " Color Tone "
    I use Normal and Warm 1 and Natural.
    " Adaptive-Sync " is On this is good thing so you can use with G-Sync Compatible to enable if you wanna it.
    But make sure turn off V-Sync in game.
    If off G-Sync, you can use V-Sync.
    I don't use G-Sync due they are not support to all games also i don't need that.
    You can have " Adaptive-Sync " on and without use G-Sync and just enable V-Sync.
    If you turn off " Adaptive-Sync " You can use with " Response Time " and " Low Input Lag ".
    I don't use " Low Input Lag " Just keep on " Adaptive-Sync ".
    If you turn on " Adaptive-Sync " will work run with G-Sync or FreeSync.
    HDMI or DisplayPort both work to run with G-Sync or FreeSync.
    My " VRR Control " is On.
    Well better use with HDMI than DP.
    HDMI can get 12-bit color, with a lot color than 10-bit.
    But make sure set on output color depth 12-bit SDR in PC.
    This monitor model HDMI 2.1 get only 120Hz max at 4K.
    If guys wanna run with DisplayPort at 240 Hz but get only 10-bit color.
    This monitor support 12 bit color, That Amazing...
    If you run HDMI on PC and don't forget turn off HDMI audio in Nvidia Control Panel or in Sound Control Panel, If you wanna use from motherboard audio ports or PC sound card.
    If you have problem monitor like when is flickering or glitching or other just turn off power in OSD buttons then turn on power.
    If this not help then just restart PC in Windows.
    Then is all good again.
    I think DP is better than HDMI for that Samsung Neo Odyssey G8.
    Almost zero issues for flickering or nothing at all.
    I think HDMI got more issue.
    This is just small problem, not big deal.
    I did try only with PC Windows DP & HDMI.
    I don't know about with Consoles at HDMI if have problem with flickering or other.
    I did read from someone comment and he said about Scanlines problem..
    ===========================================================================
    What i learned watching hours of reviews
    240HZ = GAMING ONLY (Scanlines are not noticeable while gaming )
    120HZ = OFFICE WORK / VIDEO (Eliminates scanlines)
    *Get used to scaling your MONTIOR depending on the type of work you are doing.
    *SWITCH TO 240hz while GAMING
    * SWITCH TO 120hz while doing OFFICE WORK
    ===========================================================================
    You know that settings on SDR will have different settings save from HDR on, If you run HDR will have other settings save.
    So you can have two options SDR and HDR settings for saves. Great right?

    Make sure change " OnScreen Display " > " Display Time " to 200 sec
    You should know they all my settings Picture Mode like Custom, FPS,
    RTS and ect ect mean just like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
    Just pick what fit well for right now.

      I felt like HWUB got a really bad sample of the G8 and very lucky with the G7, they bought theirs from America and from my experience batches sent to America tend to have a looser quality control compared to batches sent to Australia and even Japan, they both have a lot more robust and stricter consumer protection laws, companies are very wary of selling things to Australia at times, knowing that they'll lose money if things isn't done right in the first place. The reason why Steam now allow refunds because the Australian government makes it mandatory. So depending on where you live you might get a really good or bad batches of Neo G8 and G7's.

    It's amazing that they managed 240hz and it worked thru my 48gbs HDMI cable as well in a 5700xt.
    Competitive gamers won't care at all about true blacks , they turn off most settings and crank the brightness and NOT game in 4k
    I'm not convinced on curved yet, but there's no flat alternative yet, but I think it also helps keep the viewing angles at best angles for the panel.

    One persistent problem I have had with the Neo G8 is that it won't allow booting in HDMI 2.0. You either have to boot in HDMI 1.4 and then switch to HDMI 2.0 or (oddly) open the OSD and then reboot. I have seen this annoying quirk mentioned elsewhere. Happens with all cables, many graphics card and systems. The OSD is not that easy to get to (like if you have a soundbar).

  • @iamWing0w0
    @iamWing0w0 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just got this for a couple days and found that the scan line issue only happens when I set VRR to on. If I keep it off then I don't get any scan line at all even at 240hz. I do confused about why adaptive sync and VRR are 2 different settings tho but looked up the manual it says that the VRR setting is there to be turned on if you experience screen flickering which I don't see any so I'm going to keep it off.
    About the matte coating tho, yes I see the same kind of "rainbow" effect on mine as well but maybe because I've used the BenQ VA panel for years that also has kind of the same issue, I quickly not noticing it doing stuffs and I do use the monitor for both content consumption and work. Overall, a very good HDR monitor with fantastic picture quality. Sad that it doesn't come with USB-C port but I'd still recommend getting one if you found a good deal.

    I am trying to decide between this and the Alienware screen and honestly I usually prefer 16x9. I have a 3080ti and new pc in general all around so neither should be hard to drive for me. However I have heard you need a dedicated Gsync chip in a monitor to get full gsync/HDR experience. I believe even Linus mentions that in the ALienware video. What was your experience with it having an Nvidia card yourself?

If it's on, your response time goes up to 15ms from the normal 3ms it has with it off. Even without it the quality of the image is amazing. If you don't play super competitively then you can keep it on.

    2. Samsung can go much brighter. Is the dell bright enough tho? My room is right beside a window so im worried dell wont be bright enough since it has a glossy finish.
    3. With some tweeking, can the Samsung come looking as good as the dell?
    In conclusion, the blue tooth, jack and brightness plus the 1000r curve points to Samsung as the winner. Now dell has better color. But if Samsung can be tweeked. Does that mean samsung is still better?

    • @socialreport2836
      @socialreport2836 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I suppose it depends where the colors are better. In the bright spots the colors are better in Samsung than in OLED because OLED can't reach that level of brightness (white is white but in OLED the white is more slightly grey than white or there is a bluish tint in OLED that is unnatural and it is applicable to all the colors, the red is more bright red in Samsung than pale red in OLED etc) but in dark scenes it's vice versa, OLED is a winner. Most games have more bright scenes than dark ones, so the colors are better in Samsung but in horror movies/games they are better in OLED without almost any blooming (it exists in OLED ! but its blooming from adjacent bright pixels is very small and in Samsung it noticable but not too much, it is true).
