Bought the 27in version today. Update firmware, in monitor settings, Adaptive sync on, vrr on, disable dynamic brightness and turn on gsync. Set vsync on in nvidia control panel, vsync off in games and enjoy with zero flicker. I've never owned a curve monitor and am super happy with it.
Finally an unbiased review, most are praising this monitor or saying it's horrible, but you're providing a lot of info that will make buyers more comfortable buying the monitor.

Great review. More reviewers need to show what backlight bleed looks like on a given monitor. Big props for you doing that. I own the older, smaller, 1080p version of this monitor and love it, but I was really surprised how much more backlight bleed this newer version seems to have. My Samsung has basically none, but it does have a bit of color shifting near the edges when viewing bright content like a white webpage. I was assuming this monitor would basically be the same, but bigger but it turns out that isn't really the case.
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.
I just got the Samsung odyssey g7 32 inch. I have had many top end monitors over my many years of gaming. Many different top of the line monitors from different manufactures. I have been gaming since the first game Pong. The samsung odyssey g7 32 inch is without a doubt the best monitor I have ever had in my 63 years of age. Set up correctly it is smooth as butter with a great picture. I do know a bit about computers as I used to build high speed computers and phase change cooling systems. I have NO connection with Samsung other than I bought this monitor. Some may be put off by the curve as the average curve for most are about 1800 and this is 1000. I find it more immersive and hardly notice the curve as I have had curved monitor previously. I have Zero problems with flicker or anything else. This thing rocks smooth as butter. I would add I got one with Zero dead pixels and no noticeable blacklight bleeding.
I ordered the 32" monitor yesterday, it's gonna be ready for shipping the 24th. Can't wait, I cheaped out on my monitor so I'm upgrading from 1080p 60hz to 1440p 240hz :D

This is an excellent review, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find a single review that wasn't sponsored by Samsung anywhere.
Excellent review, got one yesterday. At first the curve was a bit too much, but man when I gave it an hour and played Apex it was perfect. The added peripheral vision a curved monitor gives you makes everything so comfortable and easy on your eyes. 24” is personally to small for me even for competitive gaming, and a 27” is slightly too big but a 27” with a huge curve turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Best monitor ever.
Bro, youre the best! I almost pre ordered this on Amazon. I love how your reviews are not only objective but subjective as well. You remind us on where or what we might use it for. Cause most times, (I, myself) Im so caught up on the specs, that I forget where or what I’ll be using it mainly for. or what games Im going to play it with. Thanks bro. keep it up. Its obvious how you love what you do and someday you’ll be like Linus or Jay2Cents with millions and millions of subscribers.
The fact that this is 240hz, 1440p AND it’s a Qled with her and local dimming on top of DisplayPort 1.4 makes this the best gaming monitor you can possibly buy rn. Most monitors don’t even have a qled screen either.
First of all, THANK YOU for addressing backlight bleed so thoroughly. It's something I have a real problem with, as I like survival horror games. I've returned 3-4 monitors because of bad backlight uniformity. Seeing a lot of reviews on a certain retailer's website that mention flickering when using either form of adaptive sync. Did you notice any?
@@BijanJamshidi Seemed like it wasn't an across the board problem, which leads me to believe they had a manufacturing issue. The fact that it's "sold out" on Best Buy and unavailable on Amazon now kinda lends credence to the idea. Thanks for the information, and for a great review.
You need to get over yourself. Back light bleed isn’t a big enough deal to return 3 separate monitors. If you’re such a connoisseur why don’t you spend $1000?
I bought this monitor (27 inch) a few weeks ago and I believe blacklight bleed might not be as bad as it is on earlier units. I was concered about the agressive curve at first but I'm actually completely fine with it. I planned to buy a cheaper monitor at first but I realised this is actually quite a bit better than most of those that are 100 USD cheaper and I managed to get one for 510. One of the fastest monitor ever. Qled backlight VA so it's colors rival those of high quality IPS panels with much better contrast and it's HDR 600 work pretty well sometimes I have to say. I watched some 4K movies on it and played a few games like Horizon 5 and Doom Eternal and it can look better than SDR.
Yeah usually curved monitors are always better than what they seem. Especially this one… it still won’t be for everyone but honestly it’s really not that bad and after some time you kinda get used to it to the point where once I’m done playing I go watch our flat panel OLED tv in the living room with my wife or something and I complain that the screen looks so weird lol
Elexy Hunsai no no flickering at all unless the flickering is a PC issue. I game on console. Mines came dead pixel free as well which is perfect. So far I’m loving the 27 curve. Fits my play style since I like to pvp a lot. Prefer the image to look more compressed instead of wide. I switched from a 32 Samsung monitor and loving this one better. I plan on buying another soon just cause I’m making a pc build soon.
Just bought this monitor today. Watched a ton of reviews. Just splurge built a new pc with a i9 10900k and a 3080 and figured my 6 year old 27 inch 60hz monitors needed and upgrade. Had originally planned for the G9 but its never in stock. Thanks for the review.
By far, one of the best videos to have described and fully explained a vast amount of info in regards to this monitor! I will have to save it in my "Watch Later", just to go back and watch it again to re-inspire me and for any extra info on the monitor meanwhile I start saving up for it! Wooh! Thank you! Great Job!
I've been looking for an in depth review like this for a while now to make sure that I made the right choice when I pre-ordered this monitor. Awesome video!
Hey man, I was trawling the web looking for a review of the incoming G9 Odyssey monitor and stumbled across this review of this. Great work; impressed by your objectiveness and technical knowledge. Consider yourself to have a new subscriber, just please review the G9 when it’s released! 🙏
Regarding the backlight bleed: my unit has actually no bleeding whatsoever. Seems like I won the backlight bleeding lottery. But it's also a sign that there is no general problem with bleeding in this series. You also forgot to mention, that the stand is mostly made out of metal but has a plastic cover over it.
A single unit not having bleed is not a sing of the series not having a general problem. You might just have been lucky. Let's wait for a larger number of reports before drawing conclussions.
@@higochumbo8932 Well, it's no secret that you almost have to expect VA-panels to have at least some backlight bleeding. So I can give you that, that cases like mine, who have no bleeding, may be rare. But it's not utterly impossible. What I can tell so far, is, that Samsung is doing a good job at QA, especially that it also comes pre-calibrated, no dead/stuck subpixels/pixels. You also shouldn't forget that cameras are more sensitive to things like glow (which is as far as my knowlegde goes inevitable) and bleeding. So it may be more harsh and distracting as it may be in real life. Some friends of mine got that monitor too and the feedback is overall positive with it. Mostly, there is very little bleeding which is hard to notice and therefore not distracting.
4 роки тому+2
fuck monitor makers. if its not dead pixels, not blacklight bleed or serious miscalibration then its flickering.
Backlight bleed is so much more tolerable to me over IPS glow, returned my LG 27GL850 because the glow was unbearable and couldnt see anything in darker scenes, may use that money to try out the Odyssey.
wow nice presentation and content. I actually prefer VA on my gaming monitor because I value the contrast + deep blacks and good black uniformity WAY more than the improvements in response time from IPS. BTW the backlight bleed you are seeing isn't necessarily a property of VA panels as it is a property of edge-lit displays, just exacerbated by VA due to the pixel's poor light modulation at extreme angles, like the fov to the backlight around the edges. Perfect monitor would be this formfactor, resolution, refresh but an oled.
IPS actually suffers from worse motion blur than samsung SVA panels.... while typical AU Optronics MVA and AMVA are worse than IPS.... the issue is, people online make up their own ratings on what's good and what isn't then spreads that b.s. all over the place. i see it on reddit ultrawide master race all the time.... they keep bringing up shitty asus or whatever brand which are NOT using samsungs custom SVA panels..... and then claim samsung is "just as bad" and lumps all panels together. the truth is, the best way to compare motion blur is to "perfect" tn panels..... tn > sva > ips > mva/amva i would throw OLED in there, but OLED while having near instant pixel response still have motion blur issues, but OLED fanboys will make shit up to justify their purchase. supposedly "new" IPS monitors coming LATE 2020 have finally fixed IPS motion blur to be closer to TN displays.... but i only see one brand marketing this along side their "preorders" (eve monitors) no other brand is talking about IPS improvements......
@@sepbla178 hdr600 specification requires some kind of local dimming. no clue how many zones as i dont own the g7 (i did preorder the g9 though waiting for shipping and delivery) my older c27hg70 is hdr600 and has 8 zones (8 horizontal bands going from top to bottom)

Can you please make a review on Odyssey G5 too? Anyways, this review is really good especially looking at your sub count, you deserve alot more! :D Keep going, you are doing great!
I'm just looking into buying a new monitor and it's crazy how little you find over a monitor that's so fucking expensive, many reviews are just repeating the stuff from the Samsung Homepage so thanks for your video! It helped me a lot!
I don´t understand the focus on competitive gaming for this monitor... what has me hyped about this monitor is that it seems that we FINALLY have a 1440p VA (so great contrast) without most of the flaws that have plagued VA monitors in the past few years (namely bad sharpness due to the weird subpixel layout, bad response times and significant ghosting). For people who value immersion over outright cheating in games (those low contrast tricks...), this should be the most exciting monitor release in a long time. It's like the ultimate all-rounder (great for gaming, movies and even work...). That backlight bleed has me worried though (speaking of which, no mention to local dimming performance?) I only wish they had a cheaper 144hz version for all of us who cant push AAA games past 100fps at 1440p anyways.
@@probilliards101 Won't even touch it with a stick. It's plagued with issues and has the old VA subpixel layout that makes everything fuzzy (particularly hurts text clarity)
@@higochumbo8932 totally understand. I was going to get it in a week or so here, until I saw this monitor. Although its more expensive, I'm hoping samsung got their shit together on this monitor. I've heard great reviews of the chg70, but only when it works properly. Too many bad reviews of dead pixels, etc. I was going to get an extended warranty, so I wouldn't be out money on the monitor, but i going to buy this one now. It sounds wayyy better, and 240hz will future proof me for years to come. Seems worth the extra money, and it looks more authentically pleasing than the chg70. Now i just have to wait for best buy to have the 32" in stock.
Bro how does he only have 55k subs bro your the best tech guy the only problem is that we don’t see much from u in sponsor wise we need someone to sponsor you get this dude a sponsor
Your videos are better than the most of people with millions of subscribers, I can’t believe you haven’t reached 10K, i will subscribe and tell some friends about you, I really hope you are getting more subscribers, great video, good luck with you account!
this is the first proper english review for this monitor online, eve have a dodgy history and who knows what their AUO 240hz ips could turn out with the ips glows, not a fan of the curve but those contrast ratio without the ghosting that has plagued VAs forever, Samsung did it without robbing us. pre ordered this for £449 in the UK
I came across your channel for a review on the AW2521HF, and man I can’t get over how good these are. To the point, every point, & nothing extra. That’s a damn good thing! Gained another subscriber, keep it up! I do have a question though. I just sold my XG270QG to my friend. I already have a KD25F I use for competitive FPS. I just ordered the Alienware 25” ips for better picture & viewing angle, but starting to think I should return it and order this G7 for the better picture & viewing angle & just keep Using the kd25f for competitive style play. What do you think?
Thank you so much! If you don’t mind the inevitable backlight bleed, then definitely. If it wasn’t for the backlight bleed, this would be my favorite monitor ever.
Honestly, love that your video is well structured and time stamped. Information is easy to digest and find. Delivery of jokes and such could be improved but of course that's a matter of taste, style, and experience. Your review seems somewhat like an online article review which I for one tend to skip over almost all the jokes and filler just to find the real meat of the information. With other youtubers I tend to listen to the whole thing without getting bored or tired, with their jokes and delivery of those jokes keeping me wanting more. But of course this again is a matter of taste, there may very well be a demographic for your current and perhaps future style. I can see you growing in subs without too much trouble.
I've got Samsung CFG70 (27" bended 144hz gaming monitor). Few things from me, because I see everything is the same: 1. Stand is massive. They could have done much better job. Even with vesa mount it's still too far away from the body. Due to this, even with 3rd party stand it's still taking so much space. It's deal braker to me (getting Asus monitor). 2. You should have mentioned how good is OSD. Single button control for everything - you can do everything in the dark. I love this type of control. 3. Missing headphones holder. Just a nice thing to have. 4. I think it has some sort of internal refresh rate overclock protection, because I was unable to overclock it even by 1 additional hz. As always, excellent review.
“You thought a company cares about a channel that has 3000 subscribers”, well, look where you are, 37k subs, well done, you’ve came a Long way and have improved your videos drastically!
I’m surprised this monitor didn’t have terrible ghosting like other va panels. And I didn’t even spot any corona artifacts too. I don’t really play games in dark rooms so idc about backlight bleed so this monitor is the ultimate content/fps monitor. I will wait for the prices to go down a bit because $700 is just too much
wait for the REAL reviews to come out once this monitor gets released in mid july. Of course there's no black level smearing because all of these paid scam artists are only cherry picking the game at 140hz. If it was 240hz, there would be obvious black level smearing to the poitn where it's unplayable at that refresh rate
@@dexternaval8410 ? i am pretty sure this review shows 240hz tests, bijan buys the monitors himself he is not getting paid. Maybe i am misunderstanding what you are saying
@@FLUX-- I think he mean't more like really deep reviews like from Tftcentral on their homepage. Im also waiting for the deep review, looks like an interesting monitor.
people are used to typical va panels made by AU Optronics (MVA or AMVA).... which are garbage panels.... samsung makes their own SVA panels which have always been superior to the typical brands.....
Checked Your channel .. dude you're awesome and also people seems to enjoy all of Your videos .. why on Earth they're not subscribed?? Wish you best of the best .. truly ♥️
Any info on firmware updates for this monitor? I'm debating buying it but the internet buzz about the flicker issues and HDR issues has me apprehensive. Any recommendations or insight would be much appreciated.
Unless you want to spend 1500+ on a monitor, or buy an LG OLED 49" TV, you should not be buying a monitor for HDR. HDR is trash on most monitors for most games out now. The only true issue with this monitor is the extreme curve, and the flickering.
Why doesn't this guy have a million subs? video production is better than Hollywood films. This video literally changed my life. Give this guy a nobel peace prize
Looks like a great monitor for triples with the 1000R when sim racing. Great review and covered everything including the Vesa mount option I was most curious about.
@@sn31t33 yeah I love VR and do alot of how to vids in sim racing for optimal settings. It's the biggest bang for the buck for immersion IMO. However I'm addicted enough to also do the triple monitors 🤪
very good review, been looking for the successor to the CHG70 for forever, it's sad that all of Samsung QLED monitor (which is basically their every monitor) have a good HDR performance but nearly none of them actually support HDR format too bad I already settled for LG for my monitor, G7 is very close to the spec that I want but I prefer a 4k panel
Wow, first time I watch one of your video and the precision of facts and informations are impressive. You sure will gain many more subscribers if you keep doing this quality of videos ! I''m hard to impress but you got my subscribe. I Look forward your next videos
Hey, great review, thanks for pointing out the “bad” things about those monitor. I have the opportunity to get one of these for about 500$, brand new, full warranty. Do you think is a good deal? Or do you think there are better options for 500$? I really value picture quality, not so much about 240hz... but I’m a little worried about the dark images with this monitor.
This is the best for 500$. Ips has stupid ips glow, tn looks terrible and oled is too expensive and has burn in issues. This is one of the best all rounder monitors in the world
I wouldn't recommend the Lenovo. I had one last week for 600 euro. There was no blb, bit of color banding and the 240hz is nice on this tn panel... However... The colors are extremely washed out (worse than my dell s2716dg) and just dont look that good and the fan... The fan is the worst thing about this monitor. It needs a fan to cool the gsync module. You might think; Oh I wear headphones anyway. I could hear the fan with my open back headphones on. The fan is also always on. Even when you turn the monitor off. I had to physically unplug the power cord for it to stop. A positive thing was that the power cord was longer than the one from my LG 27gl850 which made it easier to route. Also this thing is heavy, so if you do buy it, make sure your monitorarm can support it if you have one. For now I guess I'm either sticking to 144hz 1440p or if I really want 240hz move back down to 1080p. That would also mean changing back over to intel to push more frames which seems an expensive and stupid move at this point. So I'lll wait till we get some good 240hz 1440p panels.
Bought the 27in version today. Update firmware, in monitor settings, Adaptive sync on, vrr on, disable dynamic brightness and turn on gsync. Set vsync on in nvidia control panel, vsync off in games and enjoy with zero flicker. I've never owned a curve monitor and am super happy with it.

Damn I don't feel uncertain about my preorder anymore, solid video, subscriber gained.
Which one did you get and how are you liking it so far ? Bought the 27in today.
@@iemptyyclipz_1299 any flickering issue with the 27 version??. + would u prefer the 32 over that considering the curve makes it look smaller?
Elexy Hunsai no no flickering at all unless the flickering is a PC issue. I game on console. Mines came dead pixel free as well which is perfect. So far I’m loving the 27 curve. Fits my play style since I like to pvp a lot. Prefer the image to look more compressed instead of wide. I switched from a 32 Samsung monitor and loving this one better. I plan on buying another soon just cause I’m making a pc build soon.
How's the backlight bleed dude? Thanks.
Did you get it? Is it worth it?
3k subs at the time of posting and 3 months later at 18k+ subs. Speaks to how great quality your content is. You got another sub here.
Your production quality is outstanding.
Just bought this monitor today. Watched a ton of reviews. Just splurge built a new pc with a i9 10900k and a 3080 and figured my 6 year old 27 inch 60hz monitors needed and upgrade. Had originally planned for the G9 but its never in stock. Thanks for the review.
This seems essentially like a chg70 with a higher refresh rate. Fantastic review as always
By far, one of the best videos to have described and fully explained a vast amount of info in regards to this monitor! I will have to save it in my "Watch Later", just to go back and watch it again to re-inspire me and for any extra info on the monitor meanwhile I start saving up for it! Wooh! Thank you! Great Job!
I've been looking for an in depth review like this for a while now to make sure that I made the right choice when I pre-ordered this monitor. Awesome video!
Do you have any flickering?
i'm only subbing to this channel because of the sponsor, you better never loose it
Awesome review
How did I find you here lol. Love your vids!

When youtube works collide
Hi
Fr you need like 10 million subs, what a awesome and detailed review. No bs, no bias, plain pure information with reference to games!❤️
Hey man, I was trawling the web looking for a review of the incoming G9 Odyssey monitor and stumbled across this review of this. Great work; impressed by your objectiveness and technical knowledge. Consider yourself to have a new subscriber, just please review the G9 when it’s released! 🙏
Please im subscribing as well great video man!
CRAZY from 3-17k subs in 3 months congrats man!!!
"Oh this isn't a black screen!" lolol I died
Kind of cringe for me
thank you mate. i have been watching a lot of youtube videos around the G7, but this one was the best/conclusive I have seen. thanks for no bias !
Regarding the backlight bleed:
my unit has actually no bleeding whatsoever. Seems like I won the backlight bleeding lottery. But it's also a sign that there is no general problem with bleeding in this series.
You also forgot to mention, that the stand is mostly made out of metal but has a plastic cover over it.
A single unit not having bleed is not a sing of the series not having a general problem. You might just have been lucky. Let's wait for a larger number of reports before drawing conclussions.
@@higochumbo8932
Well, it's no secret that you almost have to expect VA-panels to have at least some backlight bleeding. So I can give you that, that cases like mine, who have no bleeding, may be rare. But it's not utterly impossible.
What I can tell so far, is, that Samsung is doing a good job at QA, especially that it also comes pre-calibrated, no dead/stuck subpixels/pixels.
You also shouldn't forget that cameras are more sensitive to things like glow (which is as far as my knowlegde goes inevitable) and bleeding. So it may be more harsh and distracting as it may be in real life. Some friends of mine got that monitor too and the feedback is overall positive with it. Mostly, there is very little bleeding which is hard to notice and therefore not distracting.
fuck monitor makers. if its not dead pixels, not blacklight bleed or serious miscalibration then its flickering.
Great way of explaining and so much attention for everything
I like your method
Good job 👏
the downside i saw was that it costs over 3/4 the price of my pc itself
3K Subs in July 21K in November. Not bad, you deserve it. Great reviews.
Backlight bleed is so much more tolerable to me over IPS glow, returned my LG 27GL850 because the glow was unbearable and couldnt see anything in darker scenes, may use that money to try out the Odyssey.
See thats the thing I care about i have an lg ips and the colors are great but that glow during dark games pisses me off so bad!
Update?
Idk how I came across your channel, but I’m glad I did. Very professional and very much enthusiasm!
wow nice presentation and content. I actually prefer VA on my gaming monitor because I value the contrast + deep blacks and good black uniformity WAY more than the improvements in response time from IPS. BTW the backlight bleed you are seeing isn't necessarily a property of VA panels as it is a property of edge-lit displays, just exacerbated by VA due to the pixel's poor light modulation at extreme angles, like the fov to the backlight around the edges.
Perfect monitor would be this formfactor, resolution, refresh but an oled.
IPS actually suffers from worse motion blur than samsung SVA panels.... while typical AU Optronics MVA and AMVA are worse than IPS....
the issue is, people online make up their own ratings on what's good and what isn't then spreads that b.s. all over the place. i see it on reddit ultrawide master race all the time.... they keep bringing up shitty asus or whatever brand which are NOT using samsungs custom SVA panels..... and then claim samsung is "just as bad" and lumps all panels together. the truth is, the best way to compare motion blur is to "perfect" tn panels.....
tn > sva > ips > mva/amva
i would throw OLED in there, but OLED while having near instant pixel response still have motion blur issues, but OLED fanboys will make shit up to justify their purchase.
supposedly "new" IPS monitors coming LATE 2020 have finally fixed IPS motion blur to be closer to TN displays.... but i only see one brand marketing this along side their "preorders" (eve monitors) no other brand is talking about IPS improvements......
Exactly like me, I value contrast and keep blacks way more than response time. BTW do you know if this has local dimming?
@@sepbla178 hdr600 specification requires some kind of local dimming. no clue how many zones as i dont own the g7 (i did preorder the g9 though waiting for shipping and delivery)
my older c27hg70 is hdr600 and has 8 zones (8 horizontal bands going from top to bottom)

Much more thorough review than any others I've seen. Thanks.
Can you please make a review on Odyssey G5 too?
Anyways, this review is really good especially looking at your sub count, you deserve alot more! :D
Keep going, you are doing great!
I'm just looking into buying a new monitor and it's crazy how little you find over a monitor that's so fucking expensive, many reviews are just repeating the stuff from the Samsung Homepage so thanks for your video! It helped me a lot!
I don´t understand the focus on competitive gaming for this monitor... what has me hyped about this monitor is that it seems that we FINALLY have a 1440p VA (so great contrast) without most of the flaws that have plagued VA monitors in the past few years (namely bad sharpness due to the weird subpixel layout, bad response times and significant ghosting).
For people who value immersion over outright cheating in games (those low contrast tricks...), this should be the most exciting monitor release in a long time. It's like the ultimate all-rounder (great for gaming, movies and even work...).
That backlight bleed has me worried though (speaking of which, no mention to local dimming performance?)
I only wish they had a cheaper 144hz version for all of us who cant push AAA games past 100fps at 1440p anyways.
Have you seen the Samsung chg70? Almost the same spec, but its 144hz and 1800 curvature. Also, its only $500 for the 32" and $400 for the 27"
@@probilliards101 Won't even touch it with a stick. It's plagued with issues and has the old VA subpixel layout that makes everything fuzzy (particularly hurts text clarity)
@@higochumbo8932 totally understand. I was going to get it in a week or so here, until I saw this monitor. Although its more expensive, I'm hoping samsung got their shit together on this monitor. I've heard great reviews of the chg70, but only when it works properly. Too many bad reviews of dead pixels, etc. I was going to get an extended warranty, so I wouldn't be out money on the monitor, but i going to buy this one now. It sounds wayyy better, and 240hz will future proof me for years to come. Seems worth the extra money, and it looks more authentically pleasing than the chg70. Now i just have to wait for best buy to have the 32" in stock.
Bro how does he only have 55k subs bro your the best tech guy the only problem is that we don’t see much from u in sponsor wise we need someone to sponsor you get this dude a sponsor
Just like twitter said. Told ya I was looking forward to it.
Your videos are better than the most of people with millions of subscribers, I can’t believe you haven’t reached 10K, i will subscribe and tell some friends about you, I really hope you are getting more subscribers, great video, good luck with you account!
Let's just be honest, the first 30 secs of the video, yall just kept looking at the monitor behind him
even tho it was just looping the demo screen ~ still kept lookin at it.,..
you're gonna be my go-to monitor review guy. Really deserve more subs
this is the first proper english review for this monitor online, eve have a dodgy history and who knows what their AUO 240hz ips could turn out with the ips glows, not a fan of the curve but those contrast ratio without the ghosting that has plagued VAs forever, Samsung did it without robbing us. pre ordered this for £449 in the UK
Where did you pre-order from?
@@CGbaker44 Overclockers and Ebuyer both have it for that price mate
U get the 27*???
@@moabbasi9460 Found overclockers thanks, ebuyer removed the pre-order button :/

Hi!! Great review. Any comments on the G-Sync issue with the flickering ?
also wondering
i've had mine for a week now and im really happy about it, my back bleed is also not that bad as shown in the video
I came across your channel for a review on the AW2521HF, and man I can’t get over how good these are. To the point, every point, & nothing extra. That’s a damn good thing! Gained another subscriber, keep it up! I do have a question though. I just sold my XG270QG to my friend. I already have a KD25F I use for competitive FPS. I just ordered the Alienware 25” ips for better picture & viewing angle, but starting to think I should return it and order this G7 for the better picture & viewing angle & just keep
Using the kd25f for competitive style play. What do you think?
Thank you so much! If you don’t mind the inevitable backlight bleed, then definitely. If it wasn’t for the backlight bleed, this would be my favorite monitor ever.
the samsung odyse look really good...
Bijan Jamshidi what is your favorite monitor ever?
just wait for the: Eve Spectrum QHD 240hz (27 inch 1440P)
Wow! Amazing technical depth and nice organized notes! I love it!
Got mine a few days ago. I cannot recommend it enough, fantastic display!
I love mine!
Honestly, love that your video is well structured and time stamped. Information is easy to digest and find. Delivery of jokes and such could be improved but of course that's a matter of taste, style, and experience. Your review seems somewhat like an online article review which I for one tend to skip over almost all the jokes and filler just to find the real meat of the information. With other youtubers I tend to listen to the whole thing without getting bored or tired, with their jokes and delivery of those jokes keeping me wanting more. But of course this again is a matter of taste, there may very well be a demographic for your current and perhaps future style. I can see you growing in subs without too much trouble.
That second stimulus check better come soon!!!!! I can only imagine using this and playing Horizon Zero Dawn!!!!
Lol, Heroes Act has to pass first.
i enjoy that u grow on 2 juli you had 3K and now 27K keep going man
4:28 this would be awkward without context.
I've got Samsung CFG70 (27" bended 144hz gaming monitor).
Few things from me, because I see everything is the same:
1. Stand is massive. They could have done much better job. Even with vesa mount it's still too far away from the body. Due to this, even with 3rd party stand it's still taking so much space. It's deal braker to me (getting Asus monitor).
2. You should have mentioned how good is OSD. Single button control for everything - you can do everything in the dark. I love this type of control.
3. Missing headphones holder. Just a nice thing to have.
4. I think it has some sort of internal refresh rate overclock protection, because I was unable to overclock it even by 1 additional hz.
As always, excellent review.
It has a headphone holder. It flips out on the back of monitor arm
I love how up-front he is about the likes lol
“You thought a company cares about a channel that has 3000 subscribers”, well, look where you are, 37k subs, well done, you’ve came a Long way and have improved your videos drastically!
You must be from the future because I don't have 37K yet lol
@@BijanJamshidi it's me, from the present! You now have more than 37k!
I’m surprised this monitor didn’t have terrible ghosting like other va panels. And I didn’t even spot any corona artifacts too. I don’t really play games in dark rooms so idc about backlight bleed so this monitor is the ultimate content/fps monitor. I will wait for the prices to go down a bit because $700 is just too much
With those specs thats more then a reasonable price. Amd ur going too wait years then? Not worth it
wait for the REAL reviews to come out once this monitor gets released in mid july. Of course there's no black level smearing because all of these paid scam artists are only cherry picking the game at 140hz. If it was 240hz, there would be obvious black level smearing to the poitn where it's unplayable at that refresh rate
@@dexternaval8410 ? i am pretty sure this review shows 240hz tests, bijan buys the monitors himself he is not getting paid. Maybe i am misunderstanding what you are saying
@@FLUX-- I think he mean't more like really deep reviews like from Tftcentral on their homepage.
Im also waiting for the deep review, looks like an interesting monitor.
people are used to typical va panels made by AU Optronics (MVA or AMVA).... which are garbage panels.... samsung makes their own SVA panels which have always been superior to the typical brands.....
Checked Your channel .. dude you're awesome and also people seems to enjoy all of Your videos .. why on Earth they're not subscribed??
Wish you best of the best .. truly ♥️
Any info on firmware updates for this monitor? I'm debating buying it but the internet buzz about the flicker issues and HDR issues has me apprehensive. Any recommendations or insight would be much appreciated.
Unless you want to spend 1500+ on a monitor, or buy an LG OLED 49" TV, you should not be buying a monitor for HDR. HDR is trash on most monitors for most games out now.
The only true issue with this monitor is the extreme curve, and the flickering.
Why doesn't this guy have a million subs? video production is better than Hollywood films. This video literally changed my life. Give this guy a nobel peace prize
Looks like a great monitor for triples with the 1000R when sim racing. Great review and covered everything including the Vesa mount option I was most curious about.

First video I see from you and I gotta say that the quality on you review don'tacth your subs. Keep going strong.👊
if there was a version of this monitor where it wasn't curved then id cop
How about the flat, ailenware 240hz 1440p 1ms
Loving those seamless transitions. Makes the review that much more enjoyable haha
very good review, been looking for the successor to the CHG70 for forever, it's sad that all of Samsung QLED monitor (which is basically their every monitor) have a good HDR performance but nearly none of them actually support HDR format
too bad I already settled for LG for my monitor, G7 is very close to the spec that I want but I prefer a 4k panel
Wow, first time I watch one of your video and the precision of facts and informations are impressive.

I'm asking so many good question and Bijan is so glad :D
Hey, great review, thanks for pointing out the “bad” things about those monitor.
I have the opportunity to get one of these for about 500$, brand new, full warranty. Do you think is a good deal? Or do you think there are better options for 500$?
I really value picture quality, not so much about 240hz... but I’m a little worried about the dark images with this monitor.
This is the best for 500$. Ips has stupid ips glow, tn looks terrible and oled is too expensive and has burn in issues. This is one of the best all rounder monitors in the world
Bought it and Loved it, after i listened to your videos i was sure it was the one i wanted! Wonderful review !
I wouldn't recommend the Lenovo. I had one last week for 600 euro. There was no blb, bit of color banding and the 240hz is nice on this tn panel... However... The colors are extremely washed out (worse than my dell s2716dg) and just dont look that good and the fan...
The fan is the worst thing about this monitor. It needs a fan to cool the gsync module. You might think; Oh I wear headphones anyway. I could hear the fan with my open back headphones on.
The fan is also always on. Even when you turn the monitor off. I had to physically unplug the power cord for it to stop.
A positive thing was that the power cord was longer than the one from my LG 27gl850 which made it easier to route.
Also this thing is heavy, so if you do buy it, make sure your monitorarm can support it if you have one.
For now I guess I'm either sticking to 144hz 1440p or if I really want 240hz move back down to 1080p. That would also mean changing back over to intel to push more frames which seems an expensive and stupid move at this point. So I'lll wait till we get some good 240hz 1440p panels.
Great to see a fellow Persian producing premium quality content 👍
Gained a sub this was a great review I was going to pre order but I think I’ll wait and see how the other 2 compete with this one
Gotta wait for Rtings tbh.
