Was a lot of fun coming around the RJN Studio! Good review with a lot of extra insights and tests! Though the reading text test you did, that's exactly why I still prefer the TN options at 240hz with the OD on, bit of a nit pick. However ignorance isn't just bliss, it's personal placebo certified entertainment when it comes to a monitor.
@Tech Yes City hy , sorry fir bad eng , need your help to choose the best 240hz monitor...Asus tuf vg259qm or samsung g7 ? What do u think should i take? Pc i9900k rtx2080ti 64gb ram...Thanks i like)
Great review, I also think 1440p at 32 inch is good, honestly 4K is just way to overrated. I rather have 1440p, and push the graphics to max and still get high fps compared to running a game at 4k
How is 4k overrated? You see way more detail and that helps in the draw distances. I have no issues with FPS in 60fps but thank god the 3090 does 100+ fps in 4k. I used to play cs source in 30fps and still got accused of hacking. From what I’ve seem some high hz monitors cause blur (due to the fast color changes) defeating the purpose. So gotta do crazy research before buying.
@@NhBleker What distance do you sit from this monitor, I just bought one and worried that I cant sit far enough away from it and now worried I should have got the 27inch version. I am only able to sit maybe 70cm away
@Benjamin Do I agree 100%. The amount of detail no comparison. If the new cards can actually push 120fps then that at 4k is ideal for me. The detail in the draw distances is a huge advantage. I hope I'm wrong but it feels like some people are crapping on 4k gaming cause it's out of their price range and trying to justify their own gear. I see issues with crazy high hz monitors but from 60fps to -120/144 is a huge leap. Beyond that I know I wont need more. I'll die more not seeing the enemy in full clarity vs blaming it on the lack of having over 144hz.
32" at 2k is fantastic. I used 720p on a 35" monitor for years and years. I only ever upgraded because I got sick of having a dual-monitor setup with a CRT, so I bought a 2k 27" and use my 35" 720p as my second monitor.
Finally someone who also loves 32" for competitive games, your review totally convinced me to give this one a shot. Everyone is saying you should go with 24-25" but I'm super unhappy with that size. thy for the awesome review my dude!
@@aDANIELIUSz sure!!!! I'm very happy with the monitor, no flickering with gsync on or off, its super fast, big and looks fantastic. I actually like the curve tbh. If you want to know something specific just ask ;)
@@callmelex I apreciate the quick reply! Im only wondering if you're watching a movie do you tend to notice the curve or is it like with games and helps you imerse more?
@@aDANIELIUSz I would say it depends on the distance you are sitting away from the monitor. But it is not disturbing my experience though I usually don't look movies on my pc. If you are in for a competitive 32" this is it imo. If you don't play competitive, I would say there are better options.
Hey, I’m glad you like it! I just ordered one yesterday, it arrives tomorrow. I’m really excited! How has yours held up? The 32 inch 1440 P 240 Hz version?
This was the review that convinced me to get the 32inch variant when I got this monitor over a couple years ago and it was worth it. I have loved this monitor thank you
Man I was randomly researching this monitor to upgrade. Watching your review definitely seals the deal for me :). I got the Razer viper ultimate mouse with the charging dock. Straight loving it.
@@realduox yes it is personal, my comment was not clean enough. The 1000R is too much in comparison to 1800R. You can see how annoying it is in the video. I am annoyed at it and most possibly even people who prefer curved displays can be annoyed. The 1000R curve in G7 and G5 and G9 should be checked before buying rheaw monitors.
Have you encountered screen FLICKERING with Adaptive Sync enabled? It's a known and spread issue on the 32" model. Mine was flickering in menu screens and in some games and I had to send it back!
@@RocketJumpNinja It helps to get rid of tearing (mostly under ~180 fps), but also for input lag. There are tests showing an increase of input lag on Adaptive Sync monitors with G-sync DISABLED and Nvidia GPUs: th-cam.com/video/L42nx6ubpfg/w-d-xo.html Maybe you can do a test by switching Adaptive Sync on and off and see by yourself if this is the case! :)
will g sync only pro will feel the diffrents in games not casual players and if u are hard core u go for 240hz/24inch/1080p/ i have g7 and Asus ROG SWIFT PG258Q i play on the PG and watch hentai on the other
I believe i remember Shroud saying the advantage of having a smaller monitor (24 inch) in FPS games is mostly to do with Interface like Mini Map, Bullet count, kill feed etc... less travel time for your eyes to peek at one of these things and then re-center on the cross hair.
they should just implement in all games that you can adjust your HUD. some games let you adjust the HUD where you want it. should be standard to do that.
You can always window mode your game and change resolution! My brother does this with league of legends and also pros do it in csgo they squeeze the screen and it has the black bars on the side. This works great for people that want a movie cinematic experience on a bigger monitor but still like to play FPS games competitively.
If anyone is still watching this, it's a great monitor, I have had it for a few months now. Beautiful screen, fast response time, good colors etc etc. I have not ran into any issuses, no scanlines etc what other have reported. Runs like a dream. But! It varies on the devices, so some might be perfect and some might have issues.
Didnt think about 32" 1440p curved monitor seriously before I saw your video. Your ideas about immersion, fun, bigger targets, none of competitors with this parameters made decision easy for me. Now i typing this from my new G7 32, thank you :)
As a platinum R6 player (nothing at fuck-all to brag about), I can honestly say that latency matters a LOT to me. I used to play at 144hz for about 5 years, which in my opinion is already very smooth. I recently upgraded to 240hz and to challenge myself I did the same response time test as you showed in this video. I tested my average response time on 3 different monitors I got laying around: Samsung G7 240hz 32" 240 hz average response time (5 click-tests): 117ms Acer GN246HLB 24" 144hz average response time (5 click-tests): 165ms Macbook Pro 2017 15" @ 60hz [not a stand-alone monitor, but still] average response time (5 click-tests): 274ms All tests were done multiple times and the average score is listed above. It quite honestly surprised me how much of a difference I get between 144hz and 240hz.
Hello Zy. I was on your website using the mouse search and noticed the mice that usually show up the Ultralight 2 and MM710 didn't show up instead it showed the Logitech G305 and G102 or G203 I used the following on all my mouse searches. Hand length: 17 cm Hand width: 9 cm Grip type: Claw palm Search leniency: Low
@@yukegaming8788 My understanding is that the firmware update fixed all flickering problems. At least according to Rtings.com and customers at my local store (0 flickering apparently).
@@generalchicken3385 It is more complicated, sadly. Latest firmware fixed things like the flickering "Pendulum Demo" but Games with bad Frame Times or Games that your System can only run at FPS, that are within the LFC/VRR transition range, still flicker. The "VRR Control" feature that got introduced "fixes" those flicker problems by skipping frames that are problematic, which results in micro stuttering. I don't blame people or reviewers for not seeing those problems. You have to be extremely thorough and take your time analysing it. Some people probably only test with competitive titles, that won't show problems anyway, others may have a "dedicated" freesync (AMD) card, that handles VRR/LFC range differently, thus avoiding the problematic VRR/LFC range. As i said, its fucking complicated and for that reason, wont be fixed. Not worth their (Samsungs) time. Not enough money in the PC-Gamer space for a Panel manufacturer.
@@yukegaming8788 Thanks for taking your time writing that, really found it interesting. I have a 32" G7 on its way (won't arrive for about a month). Wanted a VA-panel because I can't stand IPS glow and the low contrast of IPS monitors. And the G7 seems to be in the top of curved 32" VA monitors. Do you know of any better monitor? I will be able to test the monitor for almost 2 months and still return it if I don't like it. But options are always welcome.
@@generalchicken3385 sorry, went to sleep. G7/G9 is the only VA with fast black transitions...no alternative in sight so far. You can only hope to get lucky in the IPS panel lottery and get one with minimal glow/bleed. I personally tried out the LG 27GN950...if you get a good one its a crazy good monitor but my three so far had backlight bleed in the bottom left corner.
Great review and shoutout to Tech YES City :) This monitor seems awesome but can't justify an upgrade from my Asus PG279Q 165hz, if was to upgrade I'd probably actually go for the G9 49" version so its duel screens in one. Would be great to see CSGO on this also hah
Interesting, I am into the market for either a 32" 1440p or a 34" 3440x1440 but can't decide if I should go bigger or Ultrawide. Or even the LG's 38" with 3840x1600. Nice to see someone more then still finds 32" 1440p is good :D
@@waldemarzan I currently have a LG 32'' 4K UltraGear 32GQ950 but trying to get my hands on a Acer Predator X38S Ultrawide 3800x1600 before the return window is up. I still can't decide between 4K or Ultrawide! But if I wasn't worried about burn-in I'd go for a AW3423DWF OLED for cheaper ;)
@@MissMan666 A LG 32GQ950 lol, I do not recommend to buy it for the price today but happy with it. I will wait maybe 5 years more before I even look at OLED.
Just upgraded to the LG32GK650F. Really happy with the speed and colours of the monitor, coming from an IPS panel. Great timing on this review for me! 👍
I too am a 32" player but with a 144hz 1080p monitor. Some text and ultrafine detail is a little chunky until I lean back but that's it. I'm happy sitting on 1080p until +150 FPS 4K gaming is technically feasible in a few more years.
Personally the sweet spot for me is 27", 1440p. (ideally at 240hz) 32" is too big for desktop use IMO, at that point you are for all practical purposes playing on a TV. 24" is fine for office work, but for FPS gaming I will always favour a 27" 1440p as long as you have the GPU to drive it at competitive framerates. I'm still holding out hope that BenQ/Zowie do a 1440p version of their XL2746S considering how amazing their motion resolution is vs other LCD displays. Until then I expect I'll be using my MG279Q for a while yet.
Waiting for 1440p and 240Hz or more Hz. That's where the best experience is. I play with Asus PG25QM that is 1080p 240Hz, when I used to play on a 1440p 144Hz monitor. I'd say 1440p is better experience in CS:GO for some reason. From outside of B looking towards car near A on Dust II, you can see the head poking out better. As well as 1440p is better at seeing enemies in dark places then any black equalizer on 1080p.
Didn't mean to write a wall of text, it just happened ;) Here is TL/DR: *Having a good screen is the best investment you can have on your pc as it is the ONLY part you spend time looking at and the part of the setup that's usually last to upgrade* I've been into "computer world" since Spectrum/Commodore 64 and during the (lots of) years i've used a lot of different screens, from 80's tv's, through 13'' black and white crt, and through most of the screen sizes/resolutions after that, 14'', 15'', 17'', 19'', 22, 27. Everytime a change for a bigger screen and higher resolution was a change for the better (4k and technology needed for it has not matured yet, imho). Now i'm using 32'' / 1440p / 144mhz screen and i can't recommend it enough, for everything, gaming, surfing, working... general use. I feel it is the perfect size, not quite sure that bigger than this would be better (time will tell). The feeling is amazing when you sit infront of a good, big screen, no matter what you do. Just... amazing. And the feeling of amazement is still present after 1 year of daily use. I do IT and i work from home most of the time, so it's 12hrs + infront of the screen every day. Info is not to brag, but to put in to perspective that i'm using the screen heavily on a daily basis, for a lot of different stuff and i'm still in awe everytime i sit infront of it. IF your budget allows, switch to 32''/1440p. Depending what games you play/work you do, screens with 75mhz will do the job (they ar 'cheap'), and at this moment there are quite a few really good and budget friendly 32'' 1440p 144mhz screens out there, and there will be more in the future. Be aware tho, as Rocket says, you will need beefier GPU for that excercise, but to alleviate that to SOME DEGREE, you don't need expensive CPU/MB combo (thanks amd) for that as the GPU will be the bottleneck. As long as you're not chasing insanely high frame rates. But even then, if you are into competative gaming, you won't be playng at the highest settings and 10600k+oc will do the job.
Acer has a predator x32 1440p 270hz but dunno if there’s production issues, hardly any videos of it on TH-cam. No curve, IPS panel…should give it a try :)
@@mrasnika1452 So far everything is great. No regrets. Not sure the curve is for everyone. I don't like or dislike it. You know it's there, but I honestly don't even think about it anymore.
I think you should've talked more about motion blur , it's really important for 240hz fast displays most displays have a way or a method to reduce motion blur , but they are not as good as the DyAc from Benq , and they also cap the frame rate to a lower fps than what you want ( which is 240fps) I really hope you talk more about DyAc feature , and how amazing it is , and mention it on next comparisons
When I try to film the monitors with DyAc at high frame rate it just shows a black screen on camera ... which is obviously useless to me. Apparently it's because it's using strobing of some kind. Not a fan, personally. I'll stick with this for now.
@@RocketJumpNinja Didn't know about that problem But for me DyAc showed a much better implementaion of reducing motion blur compared to other ones , you can clearly see the difference in a motion blur test For me it's a big difference , and I think many ppl would like it too when they see the difference , Also as a competitive gamer , I don't care visual quality or colours .. , I care most about refresh rate , response time and motion blur implementation , that's what I will look into if I'm willing to buy a monitor for fast paced games or competitive Good reviews anyways , keep up the good work ;)
@@FedericoTrentonGame I'm usually sitting about 60-80cm (23,5-31,5 inches) away from the monitor and I personally don't feel like it's too big for the resolution. For me it doesn't really look curved anymore, rather it makes flat pannel displays feel curved away from the user at first. Hope I could help
@@HexlGaming thank you very much! I am seeing this monitor at 40% off on Prime deals and I was unsure which one to pick, I was unsure between the twos :)
Your videos are great! Short and sweet. You take the time to measure things that us gamers want to know. Is it fair to say you changed the way companies make mice? Its funny that not long ago companies added compartments for weights and now they cutting holes into them.
That's what I aim for, thanks! And yeah thanks to you guys supporting me I got the opportunity to talk to a lot of companies behind the scenes about what we want from mice. Logitech said the G Pro Wireless came into existence because the team was watching my videos and took the challenge of light weight wireless. Amazing.
@@RocketJumpNinja you deserve every bit of the success you get. It is very easy to support a channel that puts in the effort and years of gaming knowledge.
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.
They could have used a better sensor but they're all pretty good nowdays. The only concerns I would have is shape and build quality and you can only really test both if you used the mouse for a while. So if the mouse appeals to you and fits your handsize, give it a try.
I prefer a 27-in.. but I agree 1440p it is The Sweet spot and with a lot of newer 1440p monitors coming out, there's not much difference in total input latency, if you compare a high refresh rate 1080p monitor compared to 1440p, and 1440p gives much better clarity.
I use the Viewsonic XG270 with its "PureXP" backlight strobing mode at 119Hz - I couldn't go back to 240Hz, it's just so much clearer. The motion clarity is comparable to a CRT.
Just built a new pc with modern specs for the first time in my life. Paired it with this. I had problems with the LED backlight heating the screen up too much, it stopped the joystick from responding. And I get what looks like screen tearing or flickering. But I read its probably cause I have another monitor hooked up that isnt gsync. I love it so much I will probably keep it. *I should note it was refurbished and repaired for a line of dead pixels on one of the edges but that was fixed aside from the other problems I have experienced. I actually wanna switch to a higher end system to play the games I like at a solid 240fps with high to ultra settings now. :)
Best overdrive setting for this monitor? I have it set on faster but idk still seems kinda blurry had it on strongest for the first half year and i think it is even worse. I have a second setup right next to me with my old cheap monitor asus 144hz 1080p ips monitor and that one still seems more smooth to me 🙃idk anymore...
Tbh this monitor is pretty interesting. Might wait on a sale somewhere. My CFG73 has served me well, but actually has suffered burn-in (yes people, VA panels can burn in, though it's rare ;p) and it's kid of annoying having permanent windows logo's when gray or gray-ish colors are displayed ;p
Hi Zy. I've been looking on a lot of your mouse reviews over the past 3 years or so and I've came to the conclution that I need some personal tips. I've been playing a lot of FPS over the past years and I've been in a enormous dip in my skill for the past 2 or so years. I have no clue why, I believe that it's because I switched to the Glorious Model O and recently Model O- mice. I'm sure that that's it because I really love the mice, however, that around the time I switched from my Rival 300. I personally have some very slight judde/ shake that believe effect my aim a little bit since I can't be super precise. And since I got these judder "issues" and a low wight mouse I suppose that makes it worse? So I'm here to ask you for tips on good mice with higher weight, around the 80-120g weight ratio maybe? I've been looking on the G Pro Wireless since I know it's a wonderful mouse, but I wanna see other options aswell. Thanks :)
G Pro Wireless is a great mouse however this skaking could be a medical issue or just how your holding the mouse arm position and overall the way you aim I would recommend ron rambo kim videos on the subject of aiming may fix the shaking
I have followed all of RJN's advice over the years so naturally Im very interested in this panel now. My set up is pretty much identical as far as desk shape and how i aim. I just bought the HP omen 27 inch 1440p 240 hz TN panel. First impression is the matte is too much on the front. Might return for this one.
I have the Omen too and I agree the coating seems a little off. However be aware that adaptive sync works flawlessly on the Omen while the G7 has flickering when you turn it on.
I have been hearing a lot of issues with flickering for certain games and loading screens. Do you have any issues with flickering? By the way, this was a great review. I'm in the market for one but I can't seem to pull the trigger because of all the user's experience with the monitor.
Mine seems perfect ... I read somewhere that some people have perfectly functioning copies while others are experiencing problems. I won't be able to say unless I somehow get to test a lot of them out ... just make sure you can return it easily and hope you get a good one, I guess?
Yea CAD is the reason I will never get a curved panel... Make every straight line in mah building drawings look curved... I once walked into an architecture firm that had bought curved ultrawides for all their desks... I imagine some of their staff was less than pleased x)
I wish I would have watched this before I went with the G7. I do 3D design 80% of the time and game the rest. For the gaming, I LOVE IT. Everything about it. Now for the other 80% of the time, personally I think Id much rather had a flat monitor for day work and the G7 for gaming at night. Which will be the case, I just should have went with something flat first and the G7 after. So if its any type of office work, or measuring things like in 3D programs, the curve distorts things to my naked eye enough sometimes that I find myself checking things an extra 3-4 times to make sure.
The problem with reviewing a specially-arranged model is that it will be cherry-picked. This is a great monitor, no doubt about that, but it's been plagued with quality-control issues so far. Hopefully Samsung can sort these out.
Shame it's curved. I would upgrade from my OG gsync ROG Swift, but I use that monitor in portrait mode with a 4k monitor as my main when working and fold out a monitor arm into landscape when gaming. This thing would probably look dumb in portrait orientation on a monitor arm.
I am really interested in this monitor and to some extent the g9 due to the rarely discussed genre of long range tactical shooters (Squad, Arma, Post Scriptum). It would be interesting if someone could do a side-by-side comparison of the distance in which you could spot an enemy unscoped in any of those 3 games and whether it changes with these larger higher res monitors.
Thanks dude! I have the same monitor but I haven't gotten myself around to find decent settings from the internet. Thus I copied yours and they seem nice! :)
While i do like this monitor and it has probably the lowest response time in 2020 for 1440p panel, you forgot to mention that this thing consumes twice as much power than probably any other monitor out there. 50 watts (measured) I think it is too much and more than double of what I have right now (also 240hz).
I know this is quite an older vid but what monitor arm did you use? I do plan on getting this monitor because honestly it seems like a fun display to have for FPS games and I'm not too familiar on monitor arms and quality expectancy.
My eye site is pretty horrendous altho I am only short sited even with 27inch 1440p monitor I struggle seeing at mid and long range. Switched to a 1080 32 inch and I can see so much better and close range is even better than before. Don't listen to the "pro" settings, it's literally personal preference and what makes YOU comfortable.
Good vids Zy. I had a struggle choosing this monitor and a 1440p 165hz IPS monitor. Yesterday I went to the latter one when seeing the stock availability of Asus VG279AQL1A. Hope every model in Samsung's later batch has that good dark light performance as the one you have, that will let me regret my choice.
I bought the M32Q 32 inch and I fucking love it for single player games honestly its amazing but I find it so hard to play Competitive shooters like CSGO, Valorant, COD.
They Just released this in other parts of the world finally available to purchase. But, I am curious if they will be releasing a newer model anytime soon.
I got the 27", I have to say it's a really good monitor and Samsung did a fantastic job in terms of response times, however the quality control is a big let down. I went through two units which both had brightness flickering with G-Sync (this shouldn't be the case for a G-Sync Compatible certified monitor) which seems to be a very common issue, and uniformity was also very disappointing and noticeable in normal content -- this also seems to be a common issue. I'm going to try one more replacement however I'll have to return it if there's issues with it -- while I don't really need G-Sync (it does feel like a scam though if it doesn't really work), the uniformity is a deal breaker.
@Chaden Kozuki Fodder of Wano I bought the G7 for £450, while the LG is £750 (and not yet available). I don't think it's worth spending that much more.
the XL2740 moves first. Also the fact that your eyes cant see the difference that doesnt mean there is no advantage with the 1080p. btw a friend with 1440p 165hz IPS panel told me he sometimes cant see me when I kill him with my 720p resolution in BF4.

Great review, I also think 1440p at 32 inch is good, honestly 4K is just way to overrated. I rather have 1440p, and push the graphics to max and still get high fps compared to running a game at 4k
1440p at 32inch is the same as 1080p at 24.5 inch.
It honestly all depends on how close you are to your monitor.

This was the review that convinced me to get the 32inch variant when I got this monitor over a couple years ago and it was worth it. I have loved this monitor thank you
Best review I’ve seen thus far in this monitor I plan to buy soon for my Xbox Series X as future proofing for my RTX 3090 PC build in 2022
Man I was randomly researching this monitor to upgrade. Watching your review definitely seals the deal for me :). I got the Razer viper ultimate mouse with the charging dock. Straight loving it.
i need to get this.
when i actually have a system that can meet the requirements...
Get a rtx3080 and play at low settings
So a great monitor, the curve is an issue. Thanks for the review.
curve is personal preference, I find it makes my eyes feel better, its that 750 price tag thats the issue for me lol
@@realduox yes it is personal, my comment was not clean enough. The 1000R is too much in comparison to 1800R. You can see how annoying it is in the video. I am annoyed at it and most possibly even people who prefer curved displays can be annoyed. The 1000R curve in G7 and G5 and G9 should be checked before buying rheaw monitors.
Love your content, just wish you'd post a little more often. As long as it doesn't compromise the quality of the content.
Have you encountered screen FLICKERING with Adaptive Sync enabled? It's a known and spread issue on the 32" model. Mine was flickering in menu screens and in some games and I had to send it back!
Why did you want Adaptive Sync on?
@@RocketJumpNinja It helps to get rid of tearing (mostly under ~180 fps), but also for input lag. There are tests showing an increase of input lag on Adaptive Sync monitors with G-sync DISABLED and Nvidia GPUs: th-cam.com/video/L42nx6ubpfg/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you can do a test by switching Adaptive Sync on and off and see by yourself if this is the case! :)
@@RocketJumpNinja Why not?
Also, a small thing is that it doesn't support HDMI 2.1. Which is a small thing but would be cool to have HDMI @ 1440p 240hz.
will g sync only pro will feel the diffrents in games not casual players and if u are hard core u go for 240hz/24inch/1080p/ i have g7 and Asus ROG SWIFT PG258Q
i play on the PG and watch hentai on the other
I believe i remember Shroud saying the advantage of having a smaller monitor (24 inch) in FPS games is mostly to do with Interface like Mini Map, Bullet count, kill feed etc... less travel time for your eyes to peek at one of these things and then re-center on the cross hair.
they should just implement in all games that you can adjust your HUD. some games let you adjust the HUD where you want it.
should be standard to do that.
You can always window mode your game and change resolution! My brother does this with league of legends and also pros do it in csgo they squeeze the screen and it has the black bars on the side. This works great for people that want a movie cinematic experience on a bigger monitor but still like to play FPS games competitively.
SubZy windowed mode has a noticeable increase in input lag.
True, dont go windowed. Fullscreen with native 1080p (black bars) could be a compromise
If anyone is still watching this, it's a great monitor, I have had it for a few months now. Beautiful screen, fast response time, good colors etc etc. I have not ran into any issuses, no scanlines etc what other have reported. Runs like a dream. But! It varies on the devices, so some might be perfect and some might have issues.
Didnt think about 32" 1440p curved monitor seriously before I saw your video. Your ideas about immersion, fun, bigger targets, none of competitors with this parameters made decision easy for me. Now i typing this from my new G7 32, thank you :)
how is it on desktop ? do you notice the lower PPI ?
I have not perfect vision with my eyes, so im totally fine with this ppi :) @@MissMan666
Thank you for the gameplay. Alot of these other reviews are all talking and no gameplay this is a top-tier review
finally, found someone alive who still plays quake! one of us!
2 of you?
I might buy the game it looks so fun. So their will be 3 of us!
As a platinum R6 player (nothing at fuck-all to brag about), I can honestly say that latency matters a LOT to me. I used to play at 144hz for about 5 years, which in my opinion is already very smooth. I recently upgraded to 240hz and to challenge myself I did the same response time test as you showed in this video. I tested my average response time on 3 different monitors I got laying around:
Samsung G7 240hz 32" 240 hz average response time (5 click-tests): 117ms
Acer GN246HLB 24" 144hz average response time (5 click-tests): 165ms
Macbook Pro 2017 15" @ 60hz [not a stand-alone monitor, but still] average response time (5 click-tests): 274ms
All tests were done multiple times and the average score is listed above.
It quite honestly surprised me how much of a difference I get between 144hz and 240hz.
Great review with a unique approach.
Using a 1440p 165hz 32" myself. Its nice. Can just downscale to 1080p if i need the extra few fps
1440p @ 32" is _exactly_ the same as 1080p @ 24" - the standard pixel density we had for years.
exept it's not the same because you can sit farther...
Hello Zy. I was on your website using the mouse search and noticed the mice that usually show up the Ultralight 2 and MM710 didn't show up instead it showed the Logitech G305 and G102 or G203
I used the following on all my mouse searches.
Hand length: 17 cm
Hand width: 9 cm
Grip type: Claw palm
Search leniency: Low
Your hand perfect for g305
"this video is not sponsored but special shoutout to samsung who helped arrange it" hmmm
Kinda lol when considering the VRR flicker problems :D
@@yukegaming8788 My understanding is that the firmware update fixed all flickering problems. At least according to Rtings.com and customers at my local store (0 flickering apparently).
@@generalchicken3385 It is more complicated, sadly. Latest firmware fixed things like the flickering "Pendulum Demo" but Games with bad Frame Times or Games that your System can only run at FPS, that are within the LFC/VRR transition range, still flicker.
The "VRR Control" feature that got introduced "fixes" those flicker problems by skipping frames that are problematic, which results in micro stuttering. I don't blame people or reviewers for not seeing those problems. You have to be extremely thorough and take your time analysing it. Some people probably only test with competitive titles, that won't show problems anyway, others may have a "dedicated" freesync (AMD) card, that handles VRR/LFC range differently, thus avoiding the problematic VRR/LFC range.
As i said, its fucking complicated and for that reason, wont be fixed. Not worth their (Samsungs) time. Not enough money in the PC-Gamer space for a Panel manufacturer.
@@yukegaming8788 Thanks for taking your time writing that, really found it interesting. I have a 32" G7 on its way (won't arrive for about a month). Wanted a VA-panel because I can't stand IPS glow and the low contrast of IPS monitors. And the G7 seems to be in the top of curved 32" VA monitors. Do you know of any better monitor?
I will be able to test the monitor for almost 2 months and still return it if I don't like it. But options are always welcome.
@@generalchicken3385 sorry, went to sleep. G7/G9 is the only VA with fast black transitions...no alternative in sight so far. You can only hope to get lucky in the IPS panel lottery and get one with minimal glow/bleed. I personally tried out the LG 27GN950...if you get a good one its a crazy good monitor but my three so far had backlight bleed in the bottom left corner.
Great review and shoutout to Tech YES City :) This monitor seems awesome but can't justify an upgrade from my Asus PG279Q 165hz, if was to upgrade I'd probably actually go for the G9 49" version so its duel screens in one. Would be great to see CSGO on this also hah
This is the best review I've seen. But why don't people ever do some productivity and show text samples more ?
Hey man glad to watch another video
Interesting, I am into the market for either a 32" 1440p or a 34" 3440x1440 but can't decide if I should go bigger or Ultrawide. Or even the LG's 38" with 3840x1600. Nice to see someone more then still finds 32" 1440p is good :D
I'm in the same spot right now. Currently deciding if I should go 16:9 32" or 21:9 34". Can I ask what you went for?
@@waldemarzan I currently have a LG 32'' 4K UltraGear 32GQ950 but trying to get my hands on a Acer Predator X38S Ultrawide 3800x1600 before the return window is up. I still can't decide between 4K or Ultrawide! But if I wasn't worried about burn-in I'd go for a AW3423DWF OLED for cheaper ;)
@@laggmonstret So what did you end up with ?
@@MissMan666 A LG 32GQ950 lol, I do not recommend to buy it for the price today but happy with it. I will wait maybe 5 years more before I even look at OLED.
Just upgraded to the LG32GK650F. Really happy with the speed and colours of the monitor, coming from an IPS panel. Great timing on this review for me! 👍
"Do I play worse on 32" NO, Do I play better on 32" also NO... so at this point SLIGHT ADVANTAGES..." LOL
He also said "Do I have more fun?
- Yes"
Thats the slight advantage, which many tend to forget. Its not only about spencs, but the experience.
Yes I got the 27" best thing I did.
I too am a 32" player but with a 144hz 1080p monitor. Some text and ultrafine detail is a little chunky until I lean back but that's it.
I'm happy sitting on 1080p until +150 FPS 4K gaming is technically feasible in a few more years.
You finally uploaded nice!
Personally the sweet spot for me is 27", 1440p. (ideally at 240hz) 32" is too big for desktop use IMO, at that point you are for all practical purposes playing on a TV. 24" is fine for office work, but for FPS gaming I will always favour a 27" 1440p as long as you have the GPU to drive it at competitive framerates.
I'm still holding out hope that BenQ/Zowie do a 1440p version of their XL2746S considering how amazing their motion resolution is vs other LCD displays. Until then I expect I'll be using my MG279Q for a while yet.
Waiting for 1440p and 240Hz or more Hz. That's where the best experience is. I play with Asus PG25QM that is 1080p 240Hz, when I used to play on a 1440p 144Hz monitor. I'd say 1440p is better experience in CS:GO for some reason. From outside of B looking towards car near A on Dust II, you can see the head poking out better. As well as 1440p is better at seeing enemies in dark places then any black equalizer on 1080p.
Didn't mean to write a wall of text, it just happened ;) Here is TL/DR: *Having a good screen is the best investment you can have on your pc as it is the ONLY part you spend time looking at and the part of the setup that's usually last to upgrade*
I've been into "computer world" since Spectrum/Commodore 64 and during the (lots of) years i've used a lot of different screens, from 80's tv's, through 13'' black and white crt, and through most of the screen sizes/resolutions after that, 14'', 15'', 17'', 19'', 22, 27. Everytime a change for a bigger screen and higher resolution was a change for the better (4k and technology needed for it has not matured yet, imho). Now i'm using 32'' / 1440p / 144mhz screen and i can't recommend it enough, for everything, gaming, surfing, working... general use. I feel it is the perfect size, not quite sure that bigger than this would be better (time will tell). The feeling is amazing when you sit infront of a good, big screen, no matter what you do. Just... amazing. And the feeling of amazement is still present after 1 year of daily use. I do IT and i work from home most of the time, so it's 12hrs + infront of the screen every day. Info is not to brag, but to put in to perspective that i'm using the screen heavily on a daily basis, for a lot of different stuff and i'm still in awe everytime i sit infront of it. IF your budget allows, switch to 32''/1440p. Depending what games you play/work you do, screens with 75mhz will do the job (they ar 'cheap'), and at this moment there are quite a few really good and budget friendly 32'' 1440p 144mhz screens out there, and there will be more in the future. Be aware tho, as Rocket says, you will need beefier GPU for that excercise, but to alleviate that to SOME DEGREE, you don't need expensive CPU/MB combo (thanks amd) for that as the GPU will be the bottleneck. As long as you're not chasing insanely high frame rates. But even then, if you are into competative gaming, you won't be playng at the highest settings and 10600k+oc will do the job.
I enjoyed reading your wall of text. For the record which monitor model do you personally use? Is it a flat or curved 32" ?
always good seeing RJN in my sub box!
Awesome review. I believe you’re the only few that provide great details and insights.
The human eye can't experience more than 27" of fun
that can mean a lot of things
Acer has a predator x32 1440p 270hz but dunno if there’s production issues, hardly any videos of it on TH-cam. No curve, IPS panel…should give it a try :)
This is my favorite monitor ever!
Thank you SO much for the color settings. Contrast look is gone and colors look fantastic my G7-32" :)
I tink bay this monitor .good ?
@@mrasnika1452 So far everything is great. No regrets. Not sure the curve is for everyone. I don't like or dislike it. You know it's there, but I honestly don't even think about it anymore.
thank you for mentioning the mount option. they should start selling screens with such mounts from the box.
I think you should've talked more about motion blur , it's really important for 240hz fast displays
most displays have a way or a method to reduce motion blur , but they are not as good as the DyAc from Benq , and they also cap the frame rate to a lower fps than what you want ( which is 240fps)
I really hope you talk more about DyAc feature , and how amazing it is , and mention it on next comparisons
When I try to film the monitors with DyAc at high frame rate it just shows a black screen on camera ... which is obviously useless to me. Apparently it's because it's using strobing of some kind. Not a fan, personally. I'll stick with this for now.
@@RocketJumpNinja
Didn't know about that problem
But for me DyAc showed a much better implementaion of reducing motion blur compared to other ones , you can clearly see the difference in a motion blur test
For me it's a big difference , and I think many ppl would like it too when they see the difference ,
Also as a competitive gamer , I don't care visual quality or colours .. , I care most about refresh rate , response time and motion blur implementation , that's what I will look into if I'm willing to buy a monitor for fast paced games or competitive
Good reviews anyways , keep up the good work ;)
I personally felt like the 32" is a little bit big for me but the 27" is perfect, actually.
How is the curve on the 27”? How far are you sitting from it and do you notice is it “too big” for the resolution? Thankss
@@FedericoTrentonGame I'm usually sitting about 60-80cm (23,5-31,5 inches) away from the monitor and I personally don't feel like it's too big for the resolution. For me it doesn't really look curved anymore, rather it makes flat pannel displays feel curved away from the user at first. Hope I could help
@@HexlGaming thank you very much! I am seeing this monitor at 40% off on Prime deals and I was unsure which one to pick, I was unsure between the twos :)
Your videos are great! Short and sweet. You take the time to measure things that us gamers want to know.
Is it fair to say you changed the way companies make mice? Its funny that not long ago companies added compartments for weights and now they cutting holes into them.
That's what I aim for, thanks! And yeah thanks to you guys supporting me I got the opportunity to talk to a lot of companies behind the scenes about what we want from mice. Logitech said the G Pro Wireless came into existence because the team was watching my videos and took the challenge of light weight wireless. Amazing.
@@RocketJumpNinja you deserve every bit of the success you get. It is very easy to support a channel that puts in the effort and years of gaming knowledge.
@@RocketJumpNinja Really? That's amazing!
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.
Why? I'm using it now, seems great, even by today's standards. Couple of issues, but nothing crazy.
I'd love to hear your opinion on the Pwnage Ultra custom wireless mouse.
its a great mouse. if u want it go for it
They could have used a better sensor but they're all pretty good nowdays. The only concerns I would have is shape and build quality and you can only really test both if you used the mouse for a while. So if the mouse appeals to you and fits your handsize, give it a try.
thank you for the review! it is pretty useful
I prefer a 27-in.. but I agree 1440p it is The Sweet spot and with a lot of newer 1440p monitors coming out, there's not much difference in total input latency, if you compare a high refresh rate 1080p monitor compared to 1440p, and 1440p gives much better clarity.
Just bought one , 32inch 170hz wasn't cutting for me and i only play fps games so was a no brainer !
Awesome review and sick aim! I'm getting the Faker edition soon, can't wait! xD
I'd love more monitor reviews!
i just want to say that i enjoy your vids!! keep up the good work : ))))))
Love you rjn, just got the viper mini!!!
I use the Viewsonic XG270 with its "PureXP" backlight strobing mode at 119Hz - I couldn't go back to 240Hz, it's just so much clearer. The motion clarity is comparable to a CRT.
Just built a new pc with modern specs for the first time in my life. Paired it with this. I had problems with the LED backlight heating the screen up too much, it stopped the joystick from responding. And I get what looks like screen tearing or flickering. But I read its probably cause I have another monitor hooked up that isnt gsync. I love it so much I will probably keep it. *I should note it was refurbished and repaired for a line of dead pixels on one of the edges but that was fixed aside from the other problems I have experienced. I actually wanna switch to a higher end system to play the games I like at a solid 240fps with high to ultra settings now. :)
Yeah still using this as my main, solid monitor
Looks very nice, i'd go for about a third of that curve radius, if any. Also that blue mousepad looks very interesting.
Best overdrive setting for this monitor? I have it set on faster but idk still seems kinda blurry had it on strongest for the first half year and i think it is even worse. I have a second setup right next to me with my old cheap monitor asus 144hz 1080p ips monitor and that one still seems more smooth to me 🙃idk anymore...
60fps in the video makes flick shots look instantaneous
btw there's a firmware update on samsung website. i dont think there are too important changes, but its there
got an lg 27 inch 1080p ultragear and honestly nothing looks blurry and still looks way better than my old 24inch zowie
Very Informative! Thanks.
hey RJN, seeing you still are true to the quake, will you be playing Diabotical? :)
Beowulf there’s plenty of clips of him playing it
This very video is full of Diabotical clips.
@@TheSolidlad yeah but i was more inquiring about any information from RJN confirming him playing it instead of quake and maybe making some content :)
@@BeowulfGaming Just watched your video about experimenting with excrement on stream, quality content, lol.
@@TheSolidlad haha those were the days of fun streams 😂
This guy is what people need.
Tbh this monitor is pretty interesting. Might wait on a sale somewhere. My CFG73 has served me well, but actually has suffered burn-in (yes people, VA panels can burn in, though it's rare ;p) and it's kid of annoying having permanent windows logo's when gray or gray-ish colors are displayed ;p
Hi Zy. I've been looking on a lot of your mouse reviews over the past 3 years or so and I've came to the conclution that I need some personal tips. I've been playing a lot of FPS over the past years and I've been in a enormous dip in my skill for the past 2 or so years. I have no clue why, I believe that it's because I switched to the Glorious Model O and recently Model O- mice. I'm sure that that's it because I really love the mice, however, that around the time I switched from my Rival 300.
I personally have some very slight judde/ shake that believe effect my aim a little bit since I can't be super precise. And since I got these judder "issues" and a low wight mouse I suppose that makes it worse? So I'm here to ask you for tips on good mice with higher weight, around the 80-120g weight ratio maybe? I've been looking on the G Pro Wireless since I know it's a wonderful mouse, but I wanna see other options aswell. Thanks :)
G Pro Wireless is a great mouse however this skaking could be a medical issue or just how your holding the mouse arm position and overall the way you aim I would recommend ron rambo kim videos on the subject of aiming may fix the shaking
Reaper Of Insanity alright. Thank you.
Is this still the 32inch monitor to get in 2021? Or are there better choices?Im not into the whole curved monitor thing myself.
I have followed all of RJN's advice over the years so naturally Im very interested in this panel now. My set up is pretty much identical as far as desk shape and how i aim. I just bought the HP omen 27 inch 1440p 240 hz TN panel. First impression is the matte is too much on the front. Might return for this one.
I have the Omen too and I agree the coating seems a little off. However be aware that adaptive sync works flawlessly on the Omen while the G7 has flickering when you turn it on.
tengo el 27 pulgadas es muy buen monitor, sin necesidad de usar gsync....considero que para 27 inch 1440p es el mejor spot ......excelente pantalla
oigaaaa
@@Saintlpb 😍
I have been hearing a lot of issues with flickering for certain games and loading screens. Do you have any issues with flickering? By the way, this was a great review. I'm in the market for one but I can't seem to pull the trigger because of all the user's experience with the monitor.
Mine seems perfect ... I read somewhere that some people have perfectly functioning copies while others are experiencing problems. I won't be able to say unless I somehow get to test a lot of them out ... just make sure you can return it easily and hope you get a good one, I guess?
@@RocketJumpNinja thanks for the reply, I’m still contemplating if I should get a unit. Great content as usual.
Yea CAD is the reason I will never get a curved panel... Make every straight line in mah building drawings look curved... I once walked into an architecture firm that had bought curved ultrawides for all their desks... I imagine some of their staff was less than pleased x)
I wish I would have watched this before I went with the G7. I do 3D design 80% of the time and game the rest. For the gaming, I LOVE IT. Everything about it. Now for the other 80% of the time, personally I think Id much rather had a flat monitor for day work and the G7 for gaming at night. Which will be the case, I just should have went with something flat first and the G7 after. So if its any type of office work, or measuring things like in 3D programs, the curve distorts things to my naked eye enough sometimes that I find myself checking things an extra 3-4 times to make sure.
Are you still using it? Did you get used to it with time?
I'm sold on the monitor for gaming, but I'm worried about everything else
The problem with reviewing a specially-arranged model is that it will be cherry-picked. This is a great monitor, no doubt about that, but it's been plagued with quality-control issues so far. Hopefully Samsung can sort these out.
Brilliantly put video mate. Can I ask you a question, I downloaded the ICC profile from Rtings, am I wasting my time using them?
What Monitor stand were you using for this write up? Great review BTW
Shame it's curved. I would upgrade from my OG gsync ROG Swift, but I use that monitor in portrait mode with a 4k monitor as my main when working and fold out a monitor arm into landscape when gaming. This thing would probably look dumb in portrait orientation on a monitor arm.
I am really interested in this monitor and to some extent the g9 due to the rarely discussed genre of long range tactical shooters (Squad, Arma, Post Scriptum). It would be interesting if someone could do a side-by-side comparison of the distance in which you could spot an enemy unscoped in any of those 3 games and whether it changes with these larger higher res monitors.
did u buy one?
Thanks dude! I have the same monitor but I haven't gotten myself around to find decent settings from the internet. Thus I copied yours and they seem nice! :)
While i do like this monitor and it has probably the lowest response time in 2020 for 1440p panel, you forgot to mention that this thing consumes twice as much power than probably any other monitor out there. 50 watts (measured) I think it is too much and more than double of what I have right now (also 240hz).
It's because of HDR 600
When he whipped out that tape and read 70cm I thought it was inches 😂😅
I know this is quite an older vid but what monitor arm did you use? I do plan on getting this monitor because honestly it seems like a fun display to have for FPS games and I'm not too familiar on monitor arms and quality expectancy.
Agreed!!! Got one myself
My eye site is pretty horrendous altho I am only short sited even with 27inch 1440p monitor I struggle seeing at mid and long range. Switched to a 1080 32 inch and I can see so much better and close range is even better than before. Don't listen to the "pro" settings, it's literally personal preference and what makes YOU comfortable.
Could you do a quick video of your optimal Nvidia Control Panel settings?
Great review! Highly considering getting it. Did you experience any ghosting/smearing at all?
And the scan line issue that a lot of people get?
Debating between this and the Alienware A3423DW
Good vids Zy. I had a struggle choosing this monitor and a 1440p 165hz IPS monitor. Yesterday I went to the latter one when seeing the stock availability of Asus VG279AQL1A. Hope every model in Samsung's later batch has that good dark light performance as the one you have, that will let me regret my choice.
What game is that? It looks very fun
Damn clean gameplay btw
I bought the M32Q 32 inch and I fucking love it for single player games honestly its amazing but I find it so hard to play Competitive shooters like CSGO, Valorant, COD.
They Just released this in other parts of the world finally available to purchase. But, I am curious if they will be releasing a newer model anytime soon.
I got the 27", I have to say it's a really good monitor and Samsung did a fantastic job in terms of response times, however the quality control is a big let down. I went through two units which both had brightness flickering with G-Sync (this shouldn't be the case for a G-Sync Compatible certified monitor) which seems to be a very common issue, and uniformity was also very disappointing and noticeable in normal content -- this also seems to be a common issue. I'm going to try one more replacement however I'll have to return it if there's issues with it -- while I don't really need G-Sync (it does feel like a scam though if it doesn't really work), the uniformity is a deal breaker.
@Chaden Kozuki Fodder of Wano I bought the G7 for £450, while the LG is £750 (and not yet available). I don't think it's worth spending that much more.
I bought g5 34 inch. Wtf what a screen. Its a totally new experience....
Zy is what is your reaction like on a 144hz monitor? Also is it this fast in game as well, or are you just particularly good at the human benchmark?
live this monitor
buying this soon since i recently built a 10900k and 3080 build
the XL2740 moves first. Also the fact that your eyes cant see the difference that doesnt mean there is no advantage with the 1080p.
btw a friend with 1440p 165hz IPS panel told me he sometimes cant see me when I kill him with my 720p resolution in BF4.
Any thoughts on the HP OMEN X 27 ?
