  • Thanks to Samsung for sponsoring today's video! Check out the newest Samsung Odyssey G7 Monitor model G70A at lmg.gg/samsungg70a
    Last year's Samsung's Odyssey G7 was an impressive monitor, but this year they took it from a curved to a flat design! That's not the only biggest change; the S28AG70 model has a 4K display with an impressive 144hz refresh rate and features the latest HDMI 2.1 port.

    For those who have issues with the resolution (working at 30 Hz) after connecting a macbook to it, to be able to work at 60 Hz, you will need to change the mode in System -> PC/AV Mode. Also change the resolution settings in the Macbook (display settings - hold option key and click over scaled, then select 60Hz)

    Just bought a Odyssey G7 27" curved VA panel, and while i love the colors, contrast and kick-ass blacks, even coming from three IPS panels prior to this model, I'm having a much harder time loving the curve. While it is not a problem when gaming or even working, I just don't dig the look on my desk. This new 28" model looks much better, but then again, I paid around 300 dollars for the 27" G7 so I really can't complain.

    • @KristianKumpula
      @KristianKumpula 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I'd say the main problem is that 27 inches is a really small size for such an aggressively curved monitor and probably even for a moderately curved one. Going for the 32 inch version instead is a no-brainer simply because of the curve.

      @@hectoraviles6837 It depends on which monitor you compare it to. I dont know the Auorus panel but the VA G7 is good for color correction work with its 10 bit, vs an 8 bit ips panel I also have in my setup. The real great part about the G7 is of course the black levels of the VA panel which are inky black compared to non backlit ips panels. I will say that the VA is more sensitive to viewing angles though.

      doesn't really make sense, just get a normal 4k60 display for that, monitor makers usually have to compromise on things to attain high refresh rates, either by being dimmer than they would normally be, less color, bad HDR, or whatever else. So it is best to steer clear of high refresh rate displays if you are doing professional work, for the most part this display looks good for that anyways, they do color calibration at the factory.

    I must say, I prefer that clasp style cable management over the channel style.

Sure the clasp style is way less elegant, but more functional and less of a headache.

    The stand seems really wobbly and as for my opinion on curved, I need it at my setup where my monitors are rather close. I had a MSI mag24c for the longest time and once I switched to my current ASUS VG259QM I noticed how much I missed having a curved screen. It was a big jump switching to a flat screen after 3 or so years playing games since it became so much harder to look into the corners are my mini map in any game.

      It shouldn't add any usage to the PC cause it's the monitor itself that chooses the color and brightness of the RGB ring. I use this monitor for my PS5 and honestly it's not that crazy for the Core-sync. Using it in a rotation of colors looks much better or just one solid color. The sync of the monitor to the light color isn't good in general.

    • @KristianKumpula
      @KristianKumpula 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the main difference is indeed the type of panel. I previously had a massive IPS monitor and then replaced it with the older G7 because my monitor was just too big for gaming, and then within a few days I sent the G7 back because apparently even the best VA panel can't beat a good IPS panel. Then I got the newer IPS G7 instead and I was pleased with how it looks. But it's a matter of taste of course. I have an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 3700X, but I don't really miss the 240hz because I mainly play games where achieving that kind of framerate isn't feasible without dropping the resolution and graphics settings way down. Besides, the difference between 1440p and 4K seems more significant to me than the difference between 144hz and 240hz.
      Edit: Another big difference is the curve. This G7 is obviously flat whereas the VA G7 is curved to an extreme degree. In fact, I think it's too curved, so the flat panel is another thing I prefer about the IPS G7.

I say this because it has pretty much the same specs as the the Asus 27” XG27UQ which is $800 US, and the only difference being the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 as opposed to 2.0b which might contribute to the slight increase in price over the Asus monitor.

      If you mean the monitor flashing off and on when you are going fullscreen at 4k144Hz, it's just because DisplayPort doesn't have enough bandwidth to run 4k 144Hz without DSC. You can use HDMI 2.1 cable to fix this issue or turn the refresh rate to 120 Hz.

    Nice monitor, but the extra LED function on the back and the two small stripes on the front bottom corner bits is quite useless.
    Either do backglow according to what is on the screen, or do nothing.

      There is only last year's 32" model. These are not replacements, they are extra product lines. So the previous version is still the current version if what you want is:
      32" 1440p 10 bit color HDR600 240Hz
