Samsung Odyssey G7 Curved Gaming Monitor, 32 Inch, 240hz, 1000R, 1ms, 1440p , Black

Product Information

While text looks sharp thanks to its 4k resolution and high pixel density, some letters aren't as bold as on other 32-inch, 4k displays like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85. Also consider the fact that this is with only low levels of overshoot, whereas on many TN Film panels you enter the realms of moderate levels of overshoot in many cases to get there.

An X-rite i1 Display Pro Plus colorimeter was also used to verify the black point and contrast ratio since the i1 Pro 2 spectrophotometer is less reliable at the darker end. G2G average response time in this mode which was excellent for any screen, especially for a VA panel. On balance for office, text and general work we preferred the higher pixel density and improved sharpness of the 27″ model to be honest. We also captured some pursuit camera photos which are designed to capture the real motion clarity you would perceive with the naked eye in practice. There was some low levels of overshoot on some transitions but in practice there was not really many noticeable side-effects in the form of pale or dark trails.Like the 27″ model, by default it is set at 60 in the OSD which over-accentuates the sharpness of the image for normal office and desktop use we felt. Their condition is so perfect that you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from brand new ones. There’s only been a couple of 1440p monitors released with 240Hz in any panel technology so far so Samsung are quite early to the party with the new Odyssey screens.

It is easy enough to obtain a suitable luminance for your working conditions and individual preferences, but a reliable factory setup in gamma, white point and colour accuracy is important and some (gamma especially) are not as easy to change accurately without a calibration tool. If DeltaE >3, the color displayed is significantly different from the theoretical one, meaning that the difference will be perceptible to the viewer. The light AG coating of the VA technology panel is certainly welcome, and avoids unwanted graininess while still retaining solid anti-glare properties.When comparing the default factory settings for each monitor it is important to take into account several measurement areas – gamma, white point and colour accuracy. There was no sign of any colour banding at default settings when testing gradients which was good news, but some moderate gradation in darker tones evident. The comparisons made in this section try to give you a better view of how each screen performs, particularly out of the box which is what is going to matter to most consumers. When going back to a flat format screen afterwards those look like they curve the other way and take some getting used to again!

There are some uniformity problems on this sample when viewed in this way, which is something we’d seen on other recent VA panels too including the 27″ G7 model, and also the very expensive ROG Swift PG35VQ.

Samsung Care+ gives peace of mind for your new Galaxy device, providing protection against accidents and theft. The Gigabyte M32UC and the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 are both great 4k, 32-inch monitors with a few differences.This allows us to measure the maximum and minimum adjustment ranges, as well as identify the recommended setting to reach a target of 120 cd/m 2 for comfortable day to day use in normal lighting conditions. If they are not then this can lead to some additional smearing and blurring on moving content as the pixels can’t keep up.

The screens tested are split into two measurements which are based on our overall display lag tests and half the average G2G response time, as measured by our oscilloscope. Jump on enemies right when you see them with a 1ms response time and blur-free frames with no ghosting. We may receive commission from Novuna Personal Finance based on an agreed percentage of the amount you borrow. There may be a need to switch between different overdrive settings in some cases, depending on your usually attained refresh rate output and graphics card capability.

Don’t just take a photo at the default brightness which is almost always far too high and not a realistic usage condition. This seems to vary from one sample to another, with some people reporting no experienced issues, and others noticing the problem more readily. There was none of the obvious dark smearing you see normally from VA panels which was very pleasing and very little overshoot appearing at all here.
