Did you use the 4K to 1440p downscale option of the monitor? Does it affect lag? I am asking because if it does not affect lag then you will be able to have HDR signal with Series X/S consoles. Xbox does not support HDR in resolutions lower than 4K output from the console.
@@Yorgos888 this is a good question. So I asked Simon at TFT Central, he stated that the input lag won't be different at the different resolutions. I didn't test input lag at 4K unfortunately, so can't comment - all I did via 4K is attach a blu-ray player and it was able to take the 4K signal, which would suggest to me that it can work at 4K 60fps (downscaled to 1440p) on console!
@@TotallydubbedHD I managed to get 4K signal with HDR from Xbox series X. Limitations of course due to bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 was 60fps not 120fps. Also you cannot have VSync - VRR with HDR. Thanks for taking the time to search it for me.
@@Yorgos888 pleasure and thanks for sharing too :) Just an FYI on the bandwidth: you're correct, however, I've had reports of users buying a 1440p monitor, such as the Acer VG2710UP, running 120hz at 1440p while connected over a HDMI 2.0 port via their PS5. That's because the v2.0 connector can take that resolution/refresh rate, and I can only presume that it's downsampling the 4K 60Hz input in that respect. Hopefully I'm making sense lol
@totallydubbedHD Hello, good video, could you tell me if the one you have on your desktop is the 32 "version or the 27" version ... I have that same table! and I would like to know if the 32 would fit me. I think you review the 32 but i need a confirm. Thanks
After only ever playing on a flat panel, switching to this was a very easy adjustment. So much so that I’ve ordered and received my second G7 to have them side by side. Love this panel.
Awesome review, very thorough! For anyone running into the flickering/tearing issue using this with a MacBook Pro @ 240hz, make sure you update the G7 firmware. I also had to painstakingly find a USB C to Displayport cable that supported 240hz @ 1440p, and also had to turn off HDR in my MBP settings. That ended up fixing all of my issues. I have been using this as my daily driver for web / mobile app development with zero regrets. Tons of real estate, and easy on the eyes. Can't wait to truly put it to work with my RTX 3080 build next week when I get it!
@@chiefcaleb I tried a few different cables, but the only one that has worked flawlessly for me is the Startech CDP2DP146B. A little pricy, but it's worth it.
@@chiefcaleb Definitely make sure you update the firmware right away with a USB stick. It'll solve almost all of the issues you'll run into otherwise :). Enjoy it! It's a beautiful monitor. If you have any questions, or need help with anything, let me know 👍
*If you're playing on a PS5 or Xbox Series here are the best settings. Thumbs up so others can see it. Brightness: 70 Contrast: 50 Sharpness: 76 Black level: Low Black Equalizer: 13 Local Dimming: On If you have an Xbox Series don't forget to turn FreeSync on so you can use the VRR feature. You don't even need to turn on HDR cause the local dimming option and the contrast of this monitor is good!*
I finally was able to afford the 32" g7 and anxiously expected it to come yesterday. But, it unfortunately didnt arrive. So now im watching this vid just to make myself feel better.
Ive never played Destiny 2, but the games I tried in HDR and took camera shots of both HDR and SDR, the SDR looked significally colorful, better contrast and overall better picture quality.
Have you tried the Alienware 1440p 240hz monitor? Please tell me which one you really think is better. Because I really don’t know which one I should get...
@@NoSend901 congratulation for geting a 3080 ! ;-) for me its impossible to get one without Paying 3 times the price :-( . Witth this gpu on wqhd Monitor you will rich incredible FPS on every games!!! :-)
Excellent review :-) I think it probably depends on the person how they experience the curve long term. For me personally after owning it for about 6 weeks I can say it is not something I notice while gaming. One thing you could say with the curve is that it does make the corners a bit closer to your peripheral vision during games which is a small plus for very fast paced games like FPS. Colors on this monitor are amazing. I wish the black were a bit better but I understand that this is the price for getting such a fast VA panel with no black smearing. I would love to see a G7 ultrawide version @ 34" with 1440p.
Thanks bud, glad you liked the review! Indeed, the curve isn't for everyone and is subjective, although for competitive gaming, I can't see it being a benefit - if anything a hinderance, but that's just my opinion.
I can now finally settle on my ultimate choice. I have watched review after review as well as compared many "top" models and was not sure until this breakdown of the Samsung G7 (32 inch) THANKS FOR THE GUIDANCE
I rarely comment on any youtube videos but this was just an amazing review. Thank you so much! Got the 27 version and im more than happy with it! Was a bit skeptical to the steep curve but man was i wrong! Keep up the great work! You got my sub!
Rotating monitors server 2 purposes, some users who program prefer portrait vs landscape, although in this case likely wouldn't go curved in this case. And lastly manufactures do this out of courtesy, plugging in cables blindly can sometimes just be annoying, swiveling the monitor to the side to allow panel access is just convenient. Anyways, thanks for the review despite almost a year later I finally was able to pick up a new GPU so I can finally join the 1440p world, I'll be looking to scoop this guy up next time I see a decent sale! Cheers
@@Crystali10-q2b I set out for a 3080 at the time, ended up getting a 3070ti just due to what I could get. I would always true to use an 80 series card or better when using 1440p for high performance applications, especially if your have 144+ refresh rate. otherwise what is the point.
@@Crystali10-q2b the market was being bought and resold at the time so I didn't want to spend 2k for a 3080, I went with a 3070ti but as I mentioned ideally you are staying with a XX80 Nvidia or AMD equivalent ideally, look at bench marks of the things it is you are looking to do and go from that
Hey mate! I live in Brazil and thats the only monitor us uk and canada guys recommend, I want a good monitor, i game, but i mostly read with kindle, edit and watch videos, im scared cause of the curve, but this monitor costs the same here as an 1080p 120hz 34 invh ips ultrawide monitor, which should i go with??
@@TotallydubbedHD theres also the ROG Strix XG32VQ which is quite cheap here, but most reviews dont think its that good, its less curved, ultrawide and cheaper, for now it seems il ho with it
@@Augusto_Caten it's not a bad one, here's my review of it: th-cam.com/video/IwON1HQiAps/w-d-xo.html Have you considered some of the ones listed in my description of this video?
@@TotallydubbedHD thank u so much mate! Il take a look, also, i have checked the ones in ur description, but unfortunately i wasnt able to find any of the ultrawides u recomended in ur video here in Brazil, il.keep looking
@@TotallydubbedHD also, what do u think abt the XG35VQ? Its quite similar to the other one, but bigger, avaliable here still and many reviewrs say its better
Very detailed breakdown -- which I love. Thank you! So, the settings you adjusted to during the video are for games that require high refresh rates. If you are watching something like Animal Planet, and just want a great picture without the need for high refresh, what settings would be different from the ones recommended in the video? I'm still confused on if you should ever use Adaptive Sync as well.
Thanks buddy, glad you liked the review! So, other than the overdrive setting, there's nothing I'd alter from what was shown. As for the adaptive sync, I'd have that enabled if you're not playing competitive games (as you'll get a buttery smooth experience Vs getting as many frames as possible) hope that makes sense?
As you have reviewed so many monitors and also a lot of VA panels, what is your observation on the brightness flickering that occurs on lower FPS and especially when LFC kicks in because VA panels tend to be a little brighter on higher refresh rates? It seems like this is a common issue but is never generally talked about. Maybe also because less demanding games like CS will never come close to the LFC threshold so it's not noticeable in that case. But for CPU bound games like RPGs this seems to be a serious issue which many VAs have.
Interesting observation - not an issue I've noticed, but equally, I play games like: FIFA, Warzone, CSGO and Valorant and at all times (unless testing like in Destiny 2) I'd have FreeSync technologies etc disabled in order to maximise on FPS. So can't really comment on RPGs tbh or how they act generally with lower fps numbers (guess that's also to do with your GPU power at the same time, right?)
@@TotallydubbedHD You may could notice it in the pendulum demo, when enabling G-Sync and setting the FPS with the sliders around the lower G-Sync limit (often like 48Hz). The moment the FPS go below the limit, LFC will kick in and double or triple the Hz (displaying the same image multiple times) to keep up G-Sync. In this moment the brightness will probably have a slight spike that will be most noticeable on the background mountains of the demo. For some this might be an issue with insufficient GPU power. In my case I'm running a 3080 and noticed it in the pendulum demo but also in Guild Wars 2, which runs the heavy main loop of the game in a single CPU thread. In crowded areas the FPS often fluctuate between 40-80. Also in loading screens this was really present. But the most annoying occurrence was under Linux which I use for work, where G-Sync was enabled out of the box and the fps fluctuated even on the desktop right around that LFC bound. Was on the AOC Q27GU2, thought but in the above video you also mentioned that some reported flickering. I think it's a general VA issue, which is really annoying for some people and not noticed (or depending on the usage, no present) for most others. For me it sadly was a real deal breaker. I loved the high VA contrast but couldn't live with the flicker.
I can't say I've experienced those issues in a lot of the monitors I've tested. People have previously reported flicking on IPS panels too - look up the Acer Nitro VG270UP flickering for example. Again, didn't experience any issues myself. You also have to remember that most monitors aren't actually G-Sync certified nor have the module inside, and sometimes people expect it to work, but in reality it causes problems (like flickering) as there are issues in the monitor chain. Anyway, all I'm saying is that I didn't have issues, and I suspect for this panel it was due to some firmware problems that Samsung later fixed.
This monitor was the behemoth of all monitors in 2020, especially when the COVID crisis was kicking in. Despite its excellent benefits, its build is somewhat awkward, and would be more suitable for business use over extreme gaming.
Great content! Would you recommend enabling adaptive sync or keeping it off for casual gaming? Your mentioned how some features aren't available when adaptive sync. I don't play competitively and enjoy games such as Elite: Dangerous, The Division 2 and various ARPG games. My system revolves around a 2080ti and an AMD 3900X CPU. I'm asking since I'm seriously considering this monitor to replace my old XB270HU.
The monitor you have is golden. I use the FreeSync variant the XF270HU. If you're a casual gamer, I don't see why you'd get a 240hz panel in the first place. I'd stick to what you have; and yes I'd enable it if you had this monitor and played both comp (disable FreeSync) and casual games (enable FreeSync). Glad you liked the content :)
Im so scared of the light bleed and the contrast ratio. I really want to get one but dropping this kind of money and knowing of "issues" is scary. Thank you for giving me all of this information on it, it should help me make up my mind as its on special in my country right now.
So just to share: I actually asked BenQ a few weeks ago about this very panel (I forgot that I had already asked about it haha) and they already agreed to send it to me - it's been on my schedule to review for some time already and the review will hopefully go live by 14 April; stay tuned :)
Im building my first pc and ordered this monitor. It's arriving tomorrow and your video will now probably keep me awake all night 😂 thanks a bunch dude. Especially for the settings recommendations. Those would have been a headache for me to figure out
I recently purchased the Odyssey G7 32" and transitioned from the Asus PG279Q 27" as my main gaming monitor. For me personally, I wanted to truly feel like this was an upgrade in every single way - most importantly from a design and experience prospective. From having a curve where none existed before in order to feel more immersed, and also increasing its size to also offer me a different gaming experience. Also, I compared the G7 27" and 32" side by side and in my own personal experience the 27" felt as if it had a steeper curve that actually made me feel nauseous, whereas the 32" did not have this effect on me whatsoever. Simply put, the 27" felt too small for me to really bring out that immersive and cinematic experience I was looking for.
Thanks for the review! I bought the monitor a couple of hours ago (mostly buying a new monitor for the HDR and the 240hz, the curve is a added bonus for me) I got the monitor for 420 dollars thanks to a student discount offer! So thats neat!
@@TotallydubbedHD Alright, I have it and what can I say... I'm still having fun with contrast, color etc, but hell... I played Cyberpunk 2077 with FreeSync on and damn, looks freaking amazing!
The contrast ratio of this monitor is all over the place. It's 1300 in Korea. 1500 for you and another reviewer. 2000 on different models for others and apparently (?) 4000 for Rtings. I've never seen variance such as this. Could this have anything to do with the black equalizer setting or perhaps even the curvature of the screen?
The fix the flickering a while ago through a firmware update, if some one here have the problem just need to go to Samsung website, support, chose firmware and software, chose monitors put model, download update in to a USB and conect the USB in to the monitor chose USB start update :-)
This comment is just a suggestion for "totallydubbedHD". Thats the Ikea Fredde desk isnt it? Same as mine. But notice how that shelf is so horrible for sticking any monitor of size on. Its not deep enough or make the top of a 27 inch almost hit the top. Worse is the light reflects off the metal bar then too up there. I removed that shelf. 4 screws off it goes. Enjoy the much better desk space and shroud around the monitor to help with glare.
Haha, yes did this a few months back and it's a lot better. Note, I don't own the G7, but find it's better for my posture; see here: instagram.com/p/CTPz93wsHlO/
What is it like playing competitive games on a curved monitor? Does it not impact your performance? I am worried the mouse movement, sensitivity and muscle memory will be lost uniformly because of the curve?
@@TotallydubbedHD I did. You did not speak about this in the Competitive Gaming section. Like I said, I am worried about muscle memory with a specific sensitivity being ruined with a curved screen because of the warped perception around the edges.. How did you find it?
What settings do you use when you play destiny 2? HDR does not look good for me and im confused why. No flicker but the image is very dark and low quality.
@@TotallydubbedHD turn it on or off? I know every panel is different but I was curious if you could provide all of the settings you use when playing destiny 2. I’m running this off a 1080ti so I’m unsure if that’s partially my issue as well being it is not a RTX card.
kind of wish you showed the crosshair as thats kind of a big reason some people choose a monitor is to cheat in their favorite "hard core" games. without potentially runing their monitor with tape or blue tack.
@@TotallydubbedHD some games like rust have synthetic recoil. i.e. the bullet will always leave your weapon at what is the center of your screen regardless of camera shake and weapon positioning gives you a nice edge. There are also programs and other things where it is beneficial knowing where the exact center of your screen is when lining up text, images, and animations. Most give you a tool for center of screen but those that dont make it just annoying having to get a another program on your pc to line up center of screen and get pixel perfect measuring. This is also extremely useful when using a curved monitor as your vision may get distorted on what exactly is the layout of the grid your working on and things can end up being warped and out of place. 0,0 point helps with that. Its a tiny thing and i honestly wish windows by defualt had a screen overlay or and entire horizontal and vertical line across your screen option. Its fine tho i found another video that showed it. Also there is a slight fear that when using a screen overlay for non gaming that gaming anti cheat software will pick up on it and ban you even if its not being actively used, thats where the built in osd is useful.
@@matthewhart6684 MSI Optix monitor (the QD version) is driving me mad. It turns on for ages (cannot disable the startup logo), and when you turn it off and use multiple monitor displays, it disables it completely, causing flicker, and audio cuts on the other screen. And it causes the same issues again when you turn it on... Ridiculous, the only monitor I tested that causes it. I've tried with different machines, so I know it's the monitor that is causing it. I have the latest firmware on it as well. I'm going to return it, even though the colours and the refresh rates are great. The IPS glow is noticeable, the blacks are grey (as on almost all IPS panels of that price range), so I'm going for Samsung G7 27'', because the 32'' version was bothering me with the PPI...
@@TotallydubbedHD hahaha nice keep grinding bro. 💪🏿 I know you are a nice tech channel to watch did you ever try to make videos about making gaming pc's? Maybe you will receive more views.
I've got mine 32" for about 4 months now. And it's amazing display. I thought I will have problem adjusting to curved monitor, but it was not that hard.
@@TotallydubbedHD Yeah. First I had Gigabyte monitor, but it had factoryfailiure, so I had to return it. Than I ordered this monitor, and have been waiting for it for about month and half. And when I got ti it had a crack down the middle of panel. So I had to return it. And again I had to wait for about two weeks. And now it's working superb.
@@TotallydubbedHD One more question: Do i need a displayport 1.4 cable in order for the 240hz (Refresh Rate) and Response Time to activate? They're both grey on my screen
@@TotallydubbedHD Lol sorry. Everything was going good with streaming and I love the results on the monitor. But, I could never figure out how to activate those settings 😅
can anyone help i bought this monitor, I'm trying use G-Sync but its not showing up on the nvidia control panel. does anyone know how to fix this so I can try G-Sync
hi @TotallydubbedHD I have this monitor the 32 inch model, it suffers from scanlines and flickering in dark scenes, especially looking up at a night sky, the scanlines seem to appear in solid blues, yellows, oranges and reds, these can be very off putting, try Starfield at night.... I also feel like the PPI is a little off resulting in a slight, very slight blurring. Aliasing seems to be a huge issue too. I'm thinking about getting an Omen 27q instead, what are your thoughts on this switch, will i be dissapointed?
@ Thank you for the response! There’s a lot of people discussing it online, some people say it’s something to do with the black levels and have success setting to certain numbers but I have had no such luck. Other than these issues it’s a beautiful monitor, do you think It’d be worth getting the omen 27q? I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on “budget monitors” over the past 2 years, I just want a monitor without issues and decent PPI.
How do you set up HDR properly? I have my color properties set to 10 bit color and full RGB, and i turn on HDR in windows 10, everything looks washed and bad. Way worse than SDR. And in any game that supports hdr it looks awful, washed out, gray and terrible. using DP 1.4 cable.
That's correct, that's the way it works in Windows 10 - you'll need to have an application that runs HDR in order to properly utilise it - ie. launch Destiny 2
@@TotallydubbedHD I launched assassins creed odyssey, forza 4, shadow of the tomb rider. None of them look better with hdr. Ibnust be doing something wrong.
@@TotallydubbedHD yes exactly, first enabled in windows then the game. Yes the games I went with had the hdr toggle on. Even tried playing around with setting up hdr in the in game menu. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I heard that 10 bit color 240 hz 1440p is too much bandwidth for dp 1.4 cable for hdr. Is that true?
Hello, friend. Please tell me whether I should take a g7 now or is it better to take a g6 (I am also thinking of looking towards the titan army 2510s) I have a g4 now and I want something faster in terms of a matrix for cs2, and of course a better picture as for a 2k monitor)
nice review bro! i just found the monitor, its will cost me 250 dollar, its not new but used a little bit. should i go for it? is there anything i have to look before buy a used monitor? thx bro
@@TotallydubbedHD being a reviewer and tester in a different industry in the past there is a huge difference between manufacturer provided units and blind purchases that are mass produced. A manufacturer will make sure they send a tester/reviewer their best example that has the least manufacturing variance especially an industry that involves electronics. As far as being supplied with a unit to review that automatically creates conflict of interest because if you piss off one too many companies they stop sending product to review.
@@airgreek while normally valid, given I've been doing it for over 15 years, I take no BS from manufacturers; I can't control panel lottery and/or cherry-picked units - one could make the argument with purchases too; fundamentally there's no difference in the panel, other than backlight bleed or uniformity - Samsung (or any other manufacturer) can't magically fine-tune the performance of its specific panel - be it for reviewers or customers. But indeed, I've lost many contacts over the years due to manufacturers not liking my honest detailed reviews. But, if that's how a company likes to operate, I rather not review their products, and it's the explanation as to why certain manufacturers aren't covered on the channel :)
@@airgreek potentially, but that's a LONG way away; I have considered buying certain units, however. Still, having spent the entirety of last year (2020-21) giving my earnings to charity, I'm now trying to save up as I need to have a bit of financial stability in my life. Buying review units isn't my top priority :)
i had heaps of issues with screen flickering on certain games on my 32" G7. There is currently a class action in the US about the issues lots of people are having with this series of monitors and Samsung monitors in general. my advice would be to google 'screen flickering' before you buy and be ready to put your money towards a more reputable brand
Hey! Great review! How do you think this would look like as dual-monitors? I've been thinking of either getting 2x G7 27" or G9 49" (basically 2 27" without the basil). I've always been worried if two 27" monitor with 1000R curve would be quite too curved, which is why I'm considering G9 49" with the 1000R curve. What do you think?
The G9 is way more curved, the 1000R curve isnt as bad as it seems on the 27. I think its more noticeble on the 32 tbh. I tried to search the web on how two 27 would look like without any luck. I already had a g7 27 and was really happy with it. Just went for it and bought another one because i found it on sale and i could pair it with a coupon i had. Dual 27 looks great, no issues what so ever. The middle bezel isnt a problem for me. I only game on one monitor.
Thanks! If you're getting dual monitors - it would really depend on your setup - the curve as the person above commented will be a little les obvious on the 27" model, but equally it still HAS a curve lol. Really subjective, up to you to see if it would be an issue or not - I know for me that if I were to use it for comp gaming, I'd be thrown off by its curvature. Not tried the G9 unfortunately, but presume that'd be a better option for an all-in-one solution - you should also look at AOC AG493UCX: th-cam.com/video/pEEsPo1Pvno/w-d-xo.html Arguably the best UW for the price.
There is one question I have regarding this and other monitors: energy consumption ratings. I notice this one is a rare 'A' rating. Any chance you could delve into this regarding how much it costs to run this (and other monitors), considering the fuels bills we are facing today?
Hey I took this monitor and it's really great, but in the monitor settings it offers a maximum of 144 Hz, my graphics card is RTX 2080 Super nVidia, how do I set it to have 240 Hz refresh at 2K, do you have any recommendations, do you switch G- Sync and whether to enable VSync in games or turn it off, I don't understand much, so I would like you to suggest me what is the best thing to do to get the most out of it, that is, to get the most out of my graphics card. I also see i have VSync in the Control Panel graphics in games. where to turn on and where to turn off? Greetings and all the best !
I presume you're connected over HDMI? Use displayport to get the max resolution and refresh rate. Do not use Vsync in games or in the control panel. As for G-Sync, that's to to you, I personally have that disabled. But if you want tear free gaming and you're more of a casual gamer, have it enabled through the monitor and the GPU settings.
@@TotallydubbedHD Ohh thank you, I was completely confused at the same time my HDMI and Display port were turned on in the computer, I turned off HDMI so I am now switched to DISPLAY PORT,
Guys, I bought this monitor, and after sitting next to it for about 30 min I am dizzy as fuck. Does it get better? Am I going to get used to it? Perhaps it's the curve, this is my first time using it.
This might sound like a weird question but please bear with me: does this monitor have any issues when it comes to waking up from inactivity (the screen "turns off after X mins"), or when returning to the desktop after fullscreen gaming? I only ask because I'm having such issues with an LG 27GL83A right now, hence why I'm looking for a replacement. I mostly game but not competitively. Just single player titles and FF14.
Not a weird question; from memory I had no issues with it waking up; nor should any monitor tbh - so it's odd that the LG has an issue. Also, if you're not a hardcore competitive gamer, I suggest maybe saving some money and looking at some of its alternatives (see description for suggestions)
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to purchase this monitor. I'm thinking of stepping down from 4k to 2k because of the gain in fps. However I wonder if i will be able to accommodate the loss in pixel density. Since you reviewed the 32 inch. What's your Verdict concerning sharpness.
This is not Ultrawide right? Because I have a Alienware Ultrawide Monitor 34" atm with a RTX 2080 TI. However some developers dont add Ultrawide support so you are stuck with black bars, also the Ultrawide makes it 3440x1440p so I quess you should get more frames on a 2560x1440p monitor right? Since the GPU has an more easy time to render those frames. Thinking of "Downgrading" my current Monitor duo to those black bar issues with Ultrawide and I wanna use my 2080 TI to the fullest without having some frame issues in some games..
Thanks for the test, I wanted to know if it is perctant to have this monitor in 2K with a RTX 3090? The 4K is more beautiful but also much more expensive, it's a VA slab, what do you think of a use in Photoshop or Premiere with such a slab? Is it better to use IPS ? No ghost and tearing effect with this screen ? I also hesitated with the purchase of a LG Oled TV 48 inches, Gsync, 120 hrz and HDR, but I don't think that the TV can also be used as a PC monitor, because of the burn ? Thank you.
I don’t know if you’re going to see or reply to this as there’s almost 1000 people who’s left comments. My question is, does your monitor make popping sounds? My monitor constantly makes these popping sounds and I’m wondering if it’s the material in the monitor, expanding and contracting or it’s some component in the monitor arcing…? Anyway, thanks.
It could be your speakers if you've got them connected via the 3.5mm jack. Try plugging them directly in to the motherboard, it resolved the popping I had. (My speakers are old)
@@SAFFY7411 I use wireless headphones, which are the razer, blackshark, pro V2, or whatever. The popping is coming from in the monitor behind the LCD screen which sounds like the material may be expanding and contracting from the heat?
@@teddysurf I'm not sure then, sadly. I'd research reddit and such to investigate further. From the monitors I've had over the years, this doesn't sound normal. Currently using a Odyssey G7 28" variant and its super quiet.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the HDMI 2.0 limitation (VS HDMI 2.1) - Which maxes out at 144Hz at 1440p making it very problematic if you want to use HDMI at higher refresh rates.
I have an i9, a 3080 TI, and the G7 27 inch. I currently have an 8KHDMI cable connecting them. I am unable to get the graphics card setting, windows settings, or Warzone setting to allow me to switch to 240hz. The selections are locked at 144. Recommendations?
Still the best VA around, but there are even more on the market now, namely IPS alternatives - my favourites in this video (see description): th-cam.com/video/tGH3SJpoOAQ/w-d-xo.html
Just recently got this monitor. Would you recommend turning on adaptive sync on the monitor itself for competitive gaming while also having gsync on with my 3080? Just worried having both on isn't optimal.
Hi now I have CHG70, u think that I should change to G7 ? Now I have a really bad clouding - that's how work quantom dot lighting.. I looking forward to hearing from you ! M.
Heya, Would really depend on what you're looking for - there's minimal ghosting on this panel, that's for sure. But I don't get how you get bad ghosting on the CHG70 - is it a new problem?
This or an LG ultrawide? I'm almost sold on the G7 for all my gaming needs, but I'm worried that the aggressive curve won't do well for things like music production, video editing, and just general office work. On the other side, my 3080 could probably actually make use of 240hz in a good few games so I wonder if an ultrawide would limit it. Thanks!
Would depend if you want an Ultrawide - hard to say; I can't see a comp gamer being comfortable with such a large form factor though; I'd never have one for example, but can see their appeal. Not sure about which LG, but at 1440p (even UW) your 3080 should be capable of outputting decent fps :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely not a competitive gamer, but I do enjoy competitive FPS games like Warzone, Halo and Apex, but that's in addition to immersive single player games too. I was looking at the LG 34GP83a-b. It's roughly the same price as the 32" G7 in my area. I'm just torn between going for the G7 for the higher refresh that my 3080 could probably utilize, but making a compromise for non gaming tasks due to the curve, or going for an UW that would be better suited for non gaming tasks, but has lower refresh rate. Thanks again!
@@CargoShorts7 not tried that UW, so can't comment on its performance. How UW are you willing to go? This is MASSIVE: th-cam.com/video/pEEsPo1Pvno/w-d-xo.html Smaller UW, probably on the same size as the LG: th-cam.com/video/Ca6VCCwBmG0/w-d-xo.html If you don't want UW, then I'd suggest getting the BenQ in the description over this Samsung - if, again, you're not a hardcore comp gamer (which it doesn't seem like you are).
What would you consider to be the best monitor overall? I'd want something around 32" or larger, good color and contrast, and at least 120hz of course.
@TotallydubbedHD Hey just seen this video and on the verge of buying the 27 inch version. I think this VA will suit me better than IPS because I like the better contrast and blacker blacks without having to fork out for OLED just yet. Would you still say this is the 2K high refresh monitor you would pick? I'd be playing pretty much all types of games and have a 1080P flat monitor for working from home anyway, I love darker games like doom, witcher 3, dead space remake etc. I'm wondering if you can let me jnow if there's a better VA panel than this or if there's even an IPS panel you would recommend over this a year later? Thank you for your content I'm going to be a new sub for you in about 10 seconds 😊
Just got my Odyssey G7 27” monitor because of you… Thank you!!! Question….. Should software update the monitor now? Or leave it alone. It’s running off of 1010.3 right now !!
Hey buddy, just a question i ordered this monitor coming from an old 1080p 60hz asus vs247hr. So an upgrade was neccesary. Got a 1660S 11600k What are the settings i got to adjust or firmware download? I play onlinr shooter as well singleplayer games like rdr2 Greetings from the netherlands!
With all due respect, your GPU is barely capable of 1440p at 144hz, let alone 240hz consistently; so would suggest 1080p 240hz for you, or 144hz 1440p. As for settings, they're shared in the video.
Bought one today . I went from old asus 60ghz 1080p upgrade to 4k 240hhz . This monitor is amazing !!! It's so good that it helped me to finally finish a story mission in Kingdom Come deliverance! I was stuck and kept dying , gave up and they just bored went and spent money on this odyssey and gameplay is just absolutely amazing .
What is you best buy Option in 2022? For me i am a very intense competitive Gamer so i Need: low Motion blur like ULMB, decent brightness while in low Motion blur Mode, 240hz and 1440p. Any recommendations?
It's a good pick, but there are others out there, see my recommendations here: th-cam.com/video/tGH3SJpoOAQ/w-d-xo.html And consider this Asus monitor too: th-cam.com/video/m7tYVAkKM8Y/w-d-xo.html
How in the world did you get a result of 1,500:1 contrast when multiple other reputable outlets like RTings report a contrast ratio of close to 4,000? Sounds like user error to me...
Hey there brother, hope you answer my question, now my question is will this be a good buy for me if I am planning to use it for competitive gaming if I had the pg259qn (360hz IPS), I just hate its overshoot and I hate small monitors 24inch so I was planning to get this instead but every one is advising me to not go for VA no matter what for competitive gaming. thanks a lot in advance
Dude! Your review is the one I was looking for. Would you please share the depth of the upper shelf of your desk where the monitor is placed? I will be putting the monitor on a Scarlett 18i20 and want to see I need another stand or not.
was planning to get AW2721d, but is over my budget, 2nd thought was getting the lower version aw2720HF but it seem the spec is way too much off comparing with aw2721d and g7, what would you suggest me to buy? actually i am looking for an ips panel, but seem the aw2720hf not so worth for investment comparing to this g7, among this few model which will you recommend sir? aw2720hf, AORUS FI27Q-X, G7 27/32.
My question is how Rthings got close to 4000:1 Contrast Ratio and you are getting 1500:1, maybe the settings were setup incorrectly (them or you), the advertise CR is 2500:1, Hardware Unboxed got closer to 2000:1, maybe firmware revisions affecting the way the panel behaves? also the G7 T1 Faker Edition (G77) is running a different firmware compared to the Regular G7 (G75), would be interesting to see the differences between the two.
@@TotallydubbedHD Hi again, not trying discredit your video at all, it was really good and informative, specially having the newest firmware 1009.3 makes it more relevant that some other videos published last year, sorry if my post could have been misconstrued that way.
@@TotallydubbedHD did you ended up keeping the monitor as your daily driver? I recently ordered the G7 T1 Faker Edition directly from samsung, they have it for $699 US shipped, very excited to test it out, 90% gaming setup. Thanks your your video
@@AstraMilitarumFodder unfortunately, I don't get to keep monitors I review. Even if I could, I'd have not kept or wanted to keep the Samsung. It's great, but not for me - I don't like VAs in terms of colour reproduction. Glad you like my review :)

Did you use the 4K to 1440p downscale option of the monitor? Does it affect lag? I am asking because if it does not affect lag then you will be able to have HDR signal with Series X/S consoles. Xbox does not support HDR in resolutions lower than 4K output from the console.
@@Yorgos888 this is a good question. So I asked Simon at TFT Central, he stated that the input lag won't be different at the different resolutions.
I didn't test input lag at 4K unfortunately, so can't comment - all I did via 4K is attach a blu-ray player and it was able to take the 4K signal, which would suggest to me that it can work at 4K 60fps (downscaled to 1440p) on console!
@@TotallydubbedHD I managed to get 4K signal with HDR from Xbox series X. Limitations of course due to bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 was 60fps not 120fps. Also you cannot have VSync - VRR with HDR. Thanks for taking the time to search it for me.
@@Yorgos888 pleasure and thanks for sharing too :)
Just an FYI on the bandwidth: you're correct, however, I've had reports of users buying a 1440p monitor, such as the Acer VG2710UP, running 120hz at 1440p while connected over a HDMI 2.0 port via their PS5.
That's because the v2.0 connector can take that resolution/refresh rate, and I can only presume that it's downsampling the 4K 60Hz input in that respect. Hopefully I'm making sense lol
@totallydubbedHD Hello, good video, could you tell me if the one you have on your desktop is the 32 "version or the 27" version ... I have that same table! and I would like to know if the 32 would fit me. I think you review the 32 but i need a confirm. Thanks
After only ever playing on a flat panel, switching to this was a very easy adjustment. So much so that I’ve ordered and received my second G7 to have them side by side. Love this panel.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Awesome review, very thorough! For anyone running into the flickering/tearing issue using this with a MacBook Pro @ 240hz, make sure you update the G7 firmware. I also had to painstakingly find a USB C to Displayport cable that supported 240hz @ 1440p, and also had to turn off HDR in my MBP settings. That ended up fixing all of my issues. I have been using this as my daily driver for web / mobile app development with zero regrets. Tons of real estate, and easy on the eyes. Can't wait to truly put it to work with my RTX 3080 build next week when I get it!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I was going to say, what are you going to be playing on Mac lol

How’s the monitor been so far?
I finally was able to afford the 32" g7 and anxiously expected it to come yesterday. But, it unfortunately didnt arrive. So now im watching this vid just to make myself feel better.
Happy days, glad I could help :)
Same as you bro ! Mine's arriving tomorrow !
Ive never played Destiny 2, but the games I tried in HDR and took camera shots of both HDR and SDR, the SDR looked significally colorful, better contrast and overall better picture quality.
Try adjusting your gamma in your game, sometimes that's the problem when coming from SDR.
Man, I got the same table, now I know it fits
Happy days!
Same here hahaha
It is my best Monitor ever! After testing so much Monitors in the last 5 Years! I keep this one now. Just HDR 1000 would be better.

@@NoSend901 congratulation for geting a 3080 ! ;-) for me its impossible to get one without Paying 3 times the price :-( . Witth this gpu on wqhd Monitor you will rich incredible FPS on every games!!! :-)
Excellent review :-) I think it probably depends on the person how they experience the curve long term. For me personally after owning it for about 6 weeks I can say it is not something I notice while gaming. One thing you could say with the curve is that it does make the corners a bit closer to your peripheral vision during games which is a small plus for very fast paced games like FPS. Colors on this monitor are amazing. I wish the black were a bit better but I understand that this is the price for getting such a fast VA panel with no black smearing. I would love to see a G7 ultrawide version @ 34" with 1440p.
Thanks bud, glad you liked the review!
Indeed, the curve isn't for everyone and is subjective, although for competitive gaming, I can't see it being a benefit - if anything a hinderance, but that's just my opinion.
quick question. a 3080 card comes with hdmi 2.1 ports yet this monitor supports 2.0 hdmi.how to you manage to use it??
I can now finally settle on my ultimate choice. I have watched review after review as well as compared many "top" models and was not sure until this breakdown of the Samsung G7 (32 inch)
THANKS FOR THE GUIDANCE
Pleasure, glad I could help buddy!
I rarely comment on any youtube videos but this was just an amazing review. Thank you so much! Got the 27 version and im more than happy with it! Was a bit skeptical to the steep curve but man was i wrong!
Keep up the great work! You got my sub!
Thanks buddy, glad you found the video useful and are liking the monitor too! :)
Do you recommend it ?
Ordered this from Best Buy...arrives Friday. Been checking this monitor out for a couple of months. Your review solidified my decision....Thanks!!
Pleasure, glad I could help!
Rotating monitors server 2 purposes, some users who program prefer portrait vs landscape, although in this case likely wouldn't go curved in this case. And lastly manufactures do this out of courtesy, plugging in cables blindly can sometimes just be annoying, swiveling the monitor to the side to allow panel access is just convenient. Anyways, thanks for the review despite almost a year later I finally was able to pick up a new GPU so I can finally join the 1440p world, I'll be looking to scoop this guy up next time I see a decent sale! Cheers
Pleasure glad I could help!
wich gpu did u buy ? which gpu did you had before?
@@Crystali10-q2b I set out for a 3080 at the time, ended up getting a 3070ti just due to what I could get. I would always true to use an 80 series card or better when using 1440p for high performance applications, especially if your have 144+ refresh rate. otherwise what is the point.
@@Stone_Toad I just got this samsung 2k monitor with 240hz, so i need a better gpu for a good price.
@@Crystali10-q2b the market was being bought and resold at the time so I didn't want to spend 2k for a 3080, I went with a 3070ti but as I mentioned ideally you are staying with a XX80 Nvidia or AMD equivalent ideally, look at bench marks of the things it is you are looking to do and go from that
Hey mate! I live in Brazil and thats the only monitor us uk and canada guys recommend, I want a good monitor, i game, but i mostly read with kindle, edit and watch videos, im scared cause of the curve, but this monitor costs the same here as an 1080p 120hz 34 invh ips ultrawide monitor, which should i go with??

Very detailed breakdown -- which I love. Thank you!
So, the settings you adjusted to during the video are for games that require high refresh rates. If you are watching something like Animal Planet, and just want a great picture without the need for high refresh, what settings would be different from the ones recommended in the video? I'm still confused on if you should ever use Adaptive Sync as well.
Thanks buddy, glad you liked the review!
So, other than the overdrive setting, there's nothing I'd alter from what was shown.
As for the adaptive sync, I'd have that enabled if you're not playing competitive games (as you'll get a buttery smooth experience Vs getting as many frames as possible) hope that makes sense?
I had this monitor a while back and it was awesome. I wish they sell it again been trying to get my hands on it again.
As you have reviewed so many monitors and also a lot of VA panels, what is your observation on the brightness flickering that occurs on lower FPS and especially when LFC kicks in because VA panels tend to be a little brighter on higher refresh rates? It seems like this is a common issue but is never generally talked about. Maybe also because less demanding games like CS will never come close to the LFC threshold so it's not noticeable in that case. But for CPU bound games like RPGs this seems to be a serious issue which many VAs have.
Interesting observation - not an issue I've noticed, but equally, I play games like: FIFA, Warzone, CSGO and Valorant and at all times (unless testing like in Destiny 2) I'd have FreeSync technologies etc disabled in order to maximise on FPS. So can't really comment on RPGs tbh or how they act generally with lower fps numbers (guess that's also to do with your GPU power at the same time, right?)
@@TotallydubbedHD You may could notice it in the pendulum demo, when enabling G-Sync and setting the FPS with the sliders around the lower G-Sync limit (often like 48Hz). The moment the FPS go below the limit, LFC will kick in and double or triple the Hz (displaying the same image multiple times) to keep up G-Sync. In this moment the brightness will probably have a slight spike that will be most noticeable on the background mountains of the demo.
For some this might be an issue with insufficient GPU power. In my case I'm running a 3080 and noticed it in the pendulum demo but also in Guild Wars 2, which runs the heavy main loop of the game in a single CPU thread. In crowded areas the FPS often fluctuate between 40-80. Also in loading screens this was really present. But the most annoying occurrence was under Linux which I use for work, where G-Sync was enabled out of the box and the fps fluctuated even on the desktop right around that LFC bound. Was on the AOC Q27GU2, thought but in the above video you also mentioned that some reported flickering. I think it's a general VA issue, which is really annoying for some people and not noticed (or depending on the usage, no present) for most others. For me it sadly was a real deal breaker. I loved the high VA contrast but couldn't live with the flicker.
I can't say I've experienced those issues in a lot of the monitors I've tested. People have previously reported flicking on IPS panels too - look up the Acer Nitro VG270UP flickering for example. Again, didn't experience any issues myself.
You also have to remember that most monitors aren't actually G-Sync certified nor have the module inside, and sometimes people expect it to work, but in reality it causes problems (like flickering) as there are issues in the monitor chain.
Anyway, all I'm saying is that I didn't have issues, and I suspect for this panel it was due to some firmware problems that Samsung later fixed.
This monitor was the behemoth of all monitors in 2020, especially when the COVID crisis was kicking in. Despite its excellent benefits, its build is somewhat awkward, and would be more suitable for business use over extreme gaming.
@@videogamephenomhd yup!
Great content! Would you recommend enabling adaptive sync or keeping it off for casual gaming? Your mentioned how some features aren't available when adaptive sync. I don't play competitively and enjoy games such as Elite: Dangerous, The Division 2 and various ARPG games. My system revolves around a 2080ti and an AMD 3900X CPU. I'm asking since I'm seriously considering this monitor to replace my old XB270HU.
The monitor you have is golden. I use the FreeSync variant the XF270HU.
If you're a casual gamer, I don't see why you'd get a 240hz panel in the first place. I'd stick to what you have; and yes I'd enable it if you had this monitor and played both comp (disable FreeSync) and casual games (enable FreeSync).
Glad you liked the content :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Thank you for responding. I've stuck with the Acer.
Im so scared of the light bleed and the contrast ratio. I really want to get one but dropping this kind of money and knowing of "issues" is scary. Thank you for giving me all of this information on it, it should help me make up my mind as its on special in my country right now.

Pleasure buddy, enjoy your first PC - great monitor to start off too
hey, how's it going?
I've been eyeing on this monitor.
I recently purchased the Odyssey G7 32" and transitioned from the Asus PG279Q 27" as my main gaming monitor.
For me personally, I wanted to truly feel like this was an upgrade in every single way - most importantly from a design and experience prospective. From having a curve where none existed before in order to feel more immersed, and also increasing its size to also offer me a different gaming experience.
Also, I compared the G7 27" and 32" side by side and in my own personal experience the 27" felt as if it had a steeper curve that actually made me feel nauseous, whereas the 32" did not have this effect on me whatsoever. Simply put, the 27" felt too small for me to really bring out that immersive and cinematic experience I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
did the 27 inch look sharper than the 32 inch
Thanks for the review! I bought the monitor a couple of hours ago (mostly buying a new monitor for the HDR and the 240hz, the curve is a added bonus for me) I got the monitor for 420 dollars thanks to a student discount offer! So thats neat!
Happy days, great price! Glad you liked the review :)
Where did you buy it from?
Can you really trust the opinion of a guy with a keyboard tray?
Yes, but you're welcome to make your own informed decision :)

Pleasure buddy :)
Let me know how you find it!
@@TotallydubbedHD Alright, I have it and what can I say... I'm still having fun with contrast, color etc, but hell... I played Cyberpunk 2077 with FreeSync on and damn, looks freaking amazing!
@@DjSzpaku amazing :)
are you able to change the monitor light from blue to red?
Nope
You can change color in OSD, about 60 choices, you can also switch on/off lighting front and rear separately.
The contrast ratio of this monitor is all over the place. It's 1300 in Korea. 1500 for you and another reviewer. 2000 on different models for others and apparently (?) 4000 for Rtings. I've never seen variance such as this.
Could this have anything to do with the black equalizer setting or perhaps even the curvature of the screen?
Just to do with the calibrator used usually. But I'd usually take Rtings' figures with a pinch of salt ;)
The fix the flickering a while ago through a firmware update, if some one here have the problem just need to go to Samsung website, support, chose firmware and software, chose monitors put model, download update in to a USB and conect the USB in to the monitor chose USB start update :-)
Thanks for sharing.
+1 this fixed it for me. I also ran into some terrible tearing initially, but a new Displayport cable fixed the issue.
I know that I am late in this video but can you please tell me if this is good for rtx 3060 ti and intel i7 ??
Think you'll struggle to output 1440p at 240hz consistently with that GPU
does this monitor still hold up today?
I am thinking about getting it
Yup!
This comment is just a suggestion for "totallydubbedHD". Thats the Ikea Fredde desk isnt it? Same as mine. But notice how that shelf is so horrible for sticking any monitor of size on. Its not deep enough or make the top of a 27 inch almost hit the top. Worse is the light reflects off the metal bar then too up there. I removed that shelf. 4 screws off it goes. Enjoy the much better desk space and shroud around the monitor to help with glare.
Haha, yes did this a few months back and it's a lot better. Note, I don't own the G7, but find it's better for my posture; see here: instagram.com/p/CTPz93wsHlO/

What is it like playing competitive games on a curved monitor? Does it not impact your performance? I am worried the mouse movement, sensitivity and muscle memory will be lost uniformly because of the curve?
DId you watch the video?
@@TotallydubbedHD I did. You did not speak about this in the Competitive Gaming section. Like I said, I am worried about muscle memory with a specific sensitivity being ruined with a curved screen because of the warped perception around the edges.. How did you find it?

Check the OSD settings, local dimming, especially.
@@TotallydubbedHD turn it on or off? I know every panel is different but I was curious if you could provide all of the settings you use when playing destiny 2. I’m running this off a 1080ti so I’m unsure if that’s partially my issue as well being it is not a RTX card.
@@rjsch0pp1 on, again, see the video; pretty sure all is mentioned.
kind of wish you showed the crosshair as thats kind of a big reason some people choose a monitor is to cheat in their favorite "hard core" games. without potentially runing their monitor with tape or blue tack.
No offence, but real gamers don't need that lol
@@TotallydubbedHD some games like rust have synthetic recoil. i.e. the bullet will always leave your weapon at what is the center of your screen regardless of camera shake and weapon positioning gives you a nice edge. There are also programs and other things where it is beneficial knowing where the exact center of your screen is when lining up text, images, and animations. Most give you a tool for center of screen but those that dont make it just annoying having to get a another program on your pc to line up center of screen and get pixel perfect measuring. This is also extremely useful when using a curved monitor as your vision may get distorted on what exactly is the layout of the grid your working on and things can end up being warped and out of place. 0,0 point helps with that. Its a tiny thing and i honestly wish windows by defualt had a screen overlay or and entire horizontal and vertical line across your screen option. Its fine tho i found another video that showed it. Also there is a slight fear that when using a screen overlay for non gaming that gaming anti cheat software will pick up on it and ban you even if its not being actively used, thats where the built in osd is useful.

@@matthewhart6684 MSI Optix monitor (the QD version) is driving me mad. It turns on for ages (cannot disable the startup logo), and when you turn it off and use multiple monitor displays, it disables it completely, causing flicker, and audio cuts on the other screen. And it causes the same issues again when you turn it on... Ridiculous, the only monitor I tested that causes it. I've tried with different machines, so I know it's the monitor that is causing it. I have the latest firmware on it as well. I'm going to return it, even though the colours and the refresh rates are great.

Now my G7 having completed 2 years, I don't need a fancy screen upgrade but I want to do the Black Level 1.4 option
can anyone help i bought this monitor, I'm trying use G-Sync but its not showing up on the nvidia control panel. does anyone know how to fix this so I can try G-Sync
Did you enable Freesync on the OSD - in fact did you even watch the video?
hi @TotallydubbedHD I have this monitor the 32 inch model, it suffers from scanlines and flickering in dark scenes, especially looking up at a night sky, the scanlines seem to appear in solid blues, yellows, oranges and reds, these can be very off putting, try Starfield at night.... I also feel like the PPI is a little off resulting in a slight, very slight blurring. Aliasing seems to be a huge issue too.
I'm thinking about getting an Omen 27q instead, what are your thoughts on this switch, will i be dissapointed?
Oh that's odd! Not heard of such issues - might be Freesync related, have you tried disabling that?
@ Thank you for the response! There’s a lot of people discussing it online, some people say it’s something to do with the black levels and have success setting to certain numbers but I have had no such luck. Other than these issues it’s a beautiful monitor, do you think It’d be worth getting the omen 27q? I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on “budget monitors” over the past 2 years, I just want a monitor without issues and decent PPI.

How do you set up HDR properly? I have my color properties set to 10 bit color and full RGB, and i turn on HDR in windows 10, everything looks washed and bad. Way worse than SDR. And in any game that supports hdr it looks awful, washed out, gray and terrible. using DP 1.4 cable.
That's correct, that's the way it works in Windows 10 - you'll need to have an application that runs HDR in order to properly utilise it - ie. launch Destiny 2
@@TotallydubbedHD I launched assassins creed odyssey, forza 4, shadow of the tomb rider. None of them look better with hdr. Ibnust be doing something wrong.
@@dom5648 you enabled HDR in Windows, then went into the game, and made sure they're running HDR? Do those games support HDR?
@@TotallydubbedHD yes exactly, first enabled in windows then the game. Yes the games I went with had the hdr toggle on. Even tried playing around with setting up hdr in the in game menu.

Haha, nice
Did you buy this monitor or was it supplied to you by Samsung? If supplied did you keep it or have to send it back after review?
As with almost all 200 monitors I've reviewed on the channel - sent via the manufacturer, then sent back following the review. Why?
@@TotallydubbedHD being a reviewer and tester in a different industry in the past there is a huge difference between manufacturer provided units and blind purchases that are mass produced. A manufacturer will make sure they send a tester/reviewer their best example that has the least manufacturing variance especially an industry that involves electronics. As far as being supplied with a unit to review that automatically creates conflict of interest because if you piss off one too many companies they stop sending product to review.
@@airgreek while normally valid, given I've been doing it for over 15 years, I take no BS from manufacturers; I can't control panel lottery and/or cherry-picked units - one could make the argument with purchases too; fundamentally there's no difference in the panel, other than backlight bleed or uniformity - Samsung (or any other manufacturer) can't magically fine-tune the performance of its specific panel - be it for reviewers or customers.
But indeed, I've lost many contacts over the years due to manufacturers not liking my honest detailed reviews. But, if that's how a company likes to operate, I rather not review their products, and it's the explanation as to why certain manufacturers aren't covered on the channel :)
@@TotallydubbedHD do you think you can ever get to a point financially where you purchase blind retail units?
@@airgreek potentially, but that's a LONG way away; I have considered buying certain units, however. Still, having spent the entirety of last year (2020-21) giving my earnings to charity, I'm now trying to save up as I need to have a bit of financial stability in my life. Buying review units isn't my top priority :)
i had heaps of issues with screen flickering on certain games on my 32" G7. There is currently a class action in the US about the issues lots of people are having with this series of monitors and Samsung monitors in general. my advice would be to google 'screen flickering' before you buy and be ready to put your money towards a more reputable brand
Have you disabled Freesync and tried using the monitor?
It's a shame about the curve, because it seems like one of the best VA panels out there.
Hey! Great review! How do you think this would look like as dual-monitors? I've been thinking of either getting 2x G7 27" or G9 49" (basically 2 27" without the basil). I've always been worried if two 27" monitor with 1000R curve would be quite too curved, which is why I'm considering G9 49" with the 1000R curve. What do you think?
The G9 is way more curved, the 1000R curve isnt as bad as it seems on the 27. I think its more noticeble on the 32 tbh. I tried to search the web on how two 27 would look like without any luck. I already had a g7 27 and was really happy with it. Just went for it and bought another one because i found it on sale and i could pair it with a coupon i had. Dual 27 looks great, no issues what so ever. The middle bezel isnt a problem for me. I only game on one monitor.
Thanks!
If you're getting dual monitors - it would really depend on your setup - the curve as the person above commented will be a little les obvious on the 27" model, but equally it still HAS a curve lol. Really subjective, up to you to see if it would be an issue or not - I know for me that if I were to use it for comp gaming, I'd be thrown off by its curvature.
Not tried the G9 unfortunately, but presume that'd be a better option for an all-in-one solution - you should also look at AOC AG493UCX: th-cam.com/video/pEEsPo1Pvno/w-d-xo.html
Arguably the best UW for the price.
There is one question I have regarding this and other monitors: energy consumption ratings. I notice this one is a rare 'A' rating. Any chance you could delve into this regarding how much it costs to run this (and other monitors), considering the fuels bills we are facing today?
No idea buddy sorry. I'd take those claims with a grain of salt - usually it's done in the eco modes thus rendering a monitor useless lol
Hey I took this monitor and it's really great, but in the monitor settings it offers a maximum of 144 Hz, my graphics card is RTX 2080 Super nVidia, how do I set it to have 240 Hz refresh at 2K, do you have any recommendations, do you switch G- Sync and whether to enable VSync in games or turn it off, I don't understand much, so I would like you to suggest me what is the best thing to do to get the most out of it, that is, to get the most out of my graphics card.
I also see i have VSync in the Control Panel graphics in games. where to turn on and where to turn off?
Greetings and all the best !
I presume you're connected over HDMI? Use displayport to get the max resolution and refresh rate.
Do not use Vsync in games or in the control panel.
As for G-Sync, that's to to you, I personally have that disabled. But if you want tear free gaming and you're more of a casual gamer, have it enabled through the monitor and the GPU settings.
@@TotallydubbedHD
Ohh thank you, I was completely confused at the same time my HDMI and Display port were turned on in the computer, I turned off HDMI so I am now switched to DISPLAY PORT,
@@Dragon48992 glad I could help. But unplug your HDMI cable completely to avoid issues with your PC
@@TotallydubbedHD Do you achieve better graphics performance in games with G-Sync enabled or not?
@@Dragon48992 I'd suggest you look up G-Sync to better understand what it does :)
Guys, I bought this monitor, and after sitting next to it for about 30 min I am dizzy as fuck. Does it get better? Am I going to get used to it? Perhaps it's the curve, this is my first time using it.
This might sound like a weird question but please bear with me: does this monitor have any issues when it comes to waking up from inactivity (the screen "turns off after X mins"), or when returning to the desktop after fullscreen gaming?
I only ask because I'm having such issues with an LG 27GL83A right now, hence why I'm looking for a replacement.
I mostly game but not competitively. Just single player titles and FF14.
Not a weird question; from memory I had no issues with it waking up; nor should any monitor tbh - so it's odd that the LG has an issue.
Also, if you're not a hardcore competitive gamer, I suggest maybe saving some money and looking at some of its alternatives (see description for suggestions)
Does the curvature bother too look at the screen watching movies or scenes , or any other distortion ?
No it won't, but I don't personally like it, as mentioned in the video!
@@TotallydubbedHD
I have ordered one G7 recently watching your video..
Waiting for it eagerly .
@@tahsinanan147 enjoy buddy, glad I could help!
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to purchase this monitor. I'm thinking of stepping down from 4k to 2k because of the gain in fps. However I wonder if i will be able to accommodate the loss in pixel density. Since you reviewed the 32 inch. What's your Verdict concerning sharpness.
No issues whatsoever at 1440p; would recommend :)
@@TotallydubbedHD alright. Saving up money it is.
@@sethbarroo3409 good luck :)
This is not Ultrawide right? Because I have a Alienware Ultrawide Monitor 34" atm with a RTX 2080 TI.
However some developers dont add Ultrawide support so you are stuck with black bars, also the Ultrawide makes it 3440x1440p so I quess you should get more frames on a 2560x1440p monitor right? Since the GPU has an more easy time to render those frames.
Thinking of "Downgrading" my current Monitor duo to those black bar issues with Ultrawide and I wanna use my 2080 TI to the fullest without having some frame issues in some games..
That's correct on both fronts - it's not an UW and you should get more frames due to the 'lower' resolution
Thanks for the test, I wanted to know if it is perctant to have this monitor in 2K with a RTX 3090? The 4K is more beautiful but also much more expensive, it's a VA slab, what do you think of a use in Photoshop or Premiere with such a slab? Is it better to use IPS ? No ghost and tearing effect with this screen ? I also hesitated with the purchase of a LG Oled TV 48 inches, Gsync, 120 hrz and HDR, but I don't think that the TV can also be used as a PC monitor, because of the burn ? Thank you.
Covered most of these questions in the video. As for your TV, can't comment on it as I've no experience using a TV as a monitor.
I don’t know if you’re going to see or reply to this as there’s almost 1000 people who’s left comments. My question is, does your monitor make popping sounds? My monitor constantly makes these popping sounds and I’m wondering if it’s the material in the monitor, expanding and contracting or it’s some component in the monitor arcing…? Anyway, thanks.
That doesn't sound right. No monitor should sound like that - unless you've got it directly under the sun?
It could be your speakers if you've got them connected via the 3.5mm jack. Try plugging them directly in to the motherboard, it resolved the popping I had. (My speakers are old)
@@SAFFY7411 I think he means the monitor itself is making popping sounds, no?
@@SAFFY7411 I use wireless headphones, which are the razer, blackshark, pro V2, or whatever. The popping is coming from in the monitor behind the LCD screen which sounds like the material may be expanding and contracting from the heat?
@@teddysurf I'm not sure then, sadly. I'd research reddit and such to investigate further. From the monitors I've had over the years, this doesn't sound normal. Currently using a Odyssey G7 28" variant and its super quiet.
Is better 32 inch or 27 inch
It's subjective, I'd prefer 27"
I'm surprised you didn't mention the HDMI 2.0 limitation (VS HDMI 2.1) - Which maxes out at 144Hz at 1440p making it very problematic if you want to use HDMI at higher refresh rates.
It's usually covered in my videos, might have missed it in this instance
I have an i9, a 3080 TI, and the G7 27 inch. I currently have an 8KHDMI cable connecting them. I am unable to get the graphics card setting, windows settings, or Warzone setting to allow me to switch to 240hz. The selections are locked at 144. Recommendations?
Use displayport buddy, more info, here: th-cam.com/video/daHrqIFieBU/w-d-xo.html
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks. Makes sense now.

Would you still go for this monitor today or there is a better 240Hz VA/IPS panel within the similar price range that you would recommend?
Still the best VA around, but there are even more on the market now, namely IPS alternatives - my favourites in this video (see description): th-cam.com/video/tGH3SJpoOAQ/w-d-xo.html
Should i buy this for monitor for playing valorant at 1440p 240hz with my 3080 and 12700k build
Suggest you watch the video and make your own informed decision :)
Just recently got this monitor. Would you recommend turning on adaptive sync on the monitor itself for competitive gaming while also having gsync on with my 3080? Just worried having both on isn't optimal.
Did you watch the video?
Hi now I have CHG70, u think that I should change to G7 ?
Now I have a really bad clouding - that's how work quantom dot lighting..
I looking forward to hearing from you !
M.
Heya,
Would really depend on what you're looking for - there's minimal ghosting on this panel, that's for sure.
But I don't get how you get bad ghosting on the CHG70 - is it a new problem?
Is this still worth it after so many years of release? Meaning to todays or more recent and newer monitors?
If you want a high refresh rate, curved VA, then yes!
Yes purchased yesterday graphics are amazing
Got mine when it was relased, I don't think there is anything that can replace it yet, unless you go 4K Neo G7-8.
@@HadiMalgaz I went with OLED Alienware. Beast.
I bought this monitor because of you. Samsung owes you a commission!
Glad I could help buddy! Samsung don't pay any commission, nor would they be able to pay for any reviews (even if they offered £1m) :)
can you turn that rgb off on the bottom of the screen?
I just ordered one of these and was wondering if the included cable is sufficient or do I need to upgrade it at all for the best performance?
Yup all good, no need to buy anything extra!
Do you think that this is still a good purchase in mid 2023? I need a new 1440p 240hz monitor and this is the only one available
Yes
This or an LG ultrawide? I'm almost sold on the G7 for all my gaming needs, but I'm worried that the aggressive curve won't do well for things like music production, video editing, and just general office work. On the other side, my 3080 could probably actually make use of 240hz in a good few games so I wonder if an ultrawide would limit it. Thanks!
Would depend if you want an Ultrawide - hard to say; I can't see a comp gamer being comfortable with such a large form factor though; I'd never have one for example, but can see their appeal. Not sure about which LG, but at 1440p (even UW) your 3080 should be capable of outputting decent fps :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely not a competitive gamer, but I do enjoy competitive FPS games like Warzone, Halo and Apex, but that's in addition to immersive single player games too. I was looking at the LG 34GP83a-b. It's roughly the same price as the 32" G7 in my area. I'm just torn between going for the G7 for the higher refresh that my 3080 could probably utilize, but making a compromise for non gaming tasks due to the curve, or going for an UW that would be better suited for non gaming tasks, but has lower refresh rate. Thanks again!
@@CargoShorts7 not tried that UW, so can't comment on its performance.
How UW are you willing to go?
This is MASSIVE: th-cam.com/video/pEEsPo1Pvno/w-d-xo.html
Smaller UW, probably on the same size as the LG: th-cam.com/video/Ca6VCCwBmG0/w-d-xo.html
If you don't want UW, then I'd suggest getting the BenQ in the description over this Samsung - if, again, you're not a hardcore comp gamer (which it doesn't seem like you are).
Hello. Tell me pls, which version is better to buy G7 C27G75TQSR or G7 C27G75TQSI and what is the difference between them?
What would you consider to be the best monitor overall? I'd want something around 32" or larger, good color and contrast, and at least 120hz of course.
Technically, for its size; it would be this one
@TotallydubbedHD Hey just seen this video and on the verge of buying the 27 inch version. I think this VA will suit me better than IPS because I like the better contrast and blacker blacks without having to fork out for OLED just yet.
Would you still say this is the 2K high refresh monitor you would pick? I'd be playing pretty much all types of games and have a 1080P flat monitor for working from home anyway, I love darker games like doom, witcher 3, dead space remake etc.
I'm wondering if you can let me jnow if there's a better VA panel than this or if there's even an IPS panel you would recommend over this a year later? Thank you for your content I'm going to be a new sub for you in about 10 seconds 😊
Hey there nice video, hows this monitor holding up in 2023? Is there any other 1440p 240hz monitors that you think rival or beat this one now?

Greetings from the netherlands!
With all due respect, your GPU is barely capable of 1440p at 144hz, let alone 240hz consistently; so would suggest 1080p 240hz for you, or 144hz 1440p.
As for settings, they're shared in the video.
Great video. Thank you.
