sorry but if i turn on active sync I cant change all the present you mention, in hdr calibration, or am I doing something wrong? because all the option are greyed out
If you turn off adaptive sync and set the motion rate to either extreme or extreme ULMB than turn back on adaptive sync it will apply with adaptive sync. I run Extreme with adaptive sync on, makes motion blur non existent. Great vid 👍🏻.
I noticed that same thing with the overdrive being locked, but changeable. I have been running faster and it seems very solid as well. Although extreme performed pretty much the same for me. I appreciate the input and the wise advice!
So what do you guys advice? I was about to buy the M32U but after seeing this I'm not sure especially if you can run really make motion blur not existing
Next time you get tearing in a pc game with a 120 or 144hz monitor try disabling vsync in game and enabling vsync in the windows nvidia settings for the particular game. Fixed it for me in every game I had the issue with.
Agreed! I made that mistake early on and had terrible motion in game. So yes absolutely make sure that vsync is off and gsync is on. Thanks for the input there 👊
@@BainCustom I think you misread. To get g sync to fully work, you have to turn V sync ON in nvidia control panel and off in game. If you do not do this, the g sync performance will be less smooth and you'll get some form off smearing along the lower edge of the screen. G sync is designed to work together with v sync. Only not the ingame one.
Your video just made my day i bought lg ultragear 850N 32inch 1440p (I saw video for same) realized no hdmi 2(no future proof) canceled the order and ordered g7 as both were of same price (using 6700xt) Thanks alot bro
Solid choice! Glad I was able to help out in some way. Not a bad monitor (850), but definitely not what you want for next gen gaming. Good luck and GG's
Such a great review!! Very informative! I’ve had this monitor for 2 weeks it is absolutely amazing on my series X 4K 120hz is mind blowing. I want your settings I mainly play Call of Duty Halo Forza!
haha! Thank you for saying that. It has been a fun monitor to review, hopefully many more videos to come. That being said, I just now posted the SDR calibration in the comments here and in the video description. Hope it helps!
I initally got the M28U and the first thing that made me regret my decision was that the whites were really yellowish. I immediately sold the M28U and got the Samsung G70A and absolutely loved it. It's 50nits brighter, white looks like white and there's no issue of the screen being black for a long time when you turn off M28U in NVIDIA Control Panel to use another monitor.
Yeah that's a bummer. It definitely didn't feel as good in the white points, but overall was solid. How do you think they compare now that you have had some time with both of them.
My M28U has a lot of blue stuck pixels and some right on my windows taskbar that can't be unseen. Back it goes to amazon and this one is on order. Thx for the solid review.

I love this monitor, got mine on Black Friday for 650, glad you got it too I haven’t seen many videos from others. I have a 3080, but I mostly use this for my Ps5 and series console. I think this was a steal on Black Friday and already back up to 800+ on most sites.
Yeah I have seen a few scalpers attempt to sell it for those high prices. Thankfully a few good people got some over the holiday sales. Thanks for the comment and GG!
@@BainCustom I think one of the best things about this compared to the M28U cause I had that first before I returned and put the 4 year plan on my G70A. Is the bandwidth on the HDMI 2.1 port. The Gigabyte is 24gig like most next gen monitors even the bigger 43 inch, while the G70A has 40 gig bandwidth. I know it’s not the full 48 gig but damn I’m impressed.
Just got it for the price of $650, I was going to return it for an ultrawide, but I couldn't cancel it in time. Now that it's in my possession and I've experienced 4k on Gears and Halo, i'm very impressed. I also have Series X, PS5, and 3080 so I'm in the same boat as you. Did you ever consider an ultrawide?
Dude! Thank u so much for the review of the g70 !!!! I came from the g7 32 240hz and was happy, Not 100%. The freesync i turned off beacause it was without smoother for me, but it was Never 100% smooth for me with 200 fps + which i get with my 6900 xt. So i gave the g70 28 a chance, and what can i say ? It runs every Game what i have in 4K so fucking smooth ♥️♥️♥️ warzone 2 with 85-120 fps but it doesnt matter wich fps Range , it beats my 32 g7 240 in every way! I'm so happy with this Monitor, i'll will Never go back to an va Panel! Ips love ❤
That is awesome to hear! The Samsung G70 was a game changer for me, I had used other 4k monitors, but something about it stood out. Now there are a ton of new options available, but it still holds up well. Thanks for the input on the video!
If you Ever Come to a compersion of the g7 32 and the g70a, Test the Games Witcher 3, gta v, Forza Motorsport 5, battlefield 1&V. I dont know why the 144 hz on the g70a Feel so much smoother in that Games and this from qhd to uhd 🙈
Just managed to get a used one from Amazon for €580. The list of defects only listed minor stuff on the back. Surprisingly, the back was actually fine and so was the screen, until I found a red stuck pixel right in the middle of it. Tried everything I could but it didn't fix it. Having to return it with a pain in my heart because I know it won't be until Q1 2022 that'll be able to get another one. But in the meantime I tested it a bunch and it's really, really good coming from a 27GL850. Oh, having not-so-gray blacks is awesome.
Yeah the gl850 had that glow issue. I had the GN850 for a good amount of time and still noticed it. I wonder if you can't just warranty exchange it direct through Samsung? Maybe they will be able to fix it or have a new one set aside for warranty? Anyways, it's worth the wait in my opinion, although it sucks you have to wait even longer...
@@BainCustom I've contacted Samsung about that. Still waiting their response, but I'm 99% sure it will be negative and they'll tell me to just return to the retailer.
Returned that one, bought another one and the new one works like a charm, and it came with firmware version 1006.0, which is newer than the latest one on Samsung's website
@@PkmnTrnAnt it performs fine and I can change the RGB back light color. Also, despite not being certified for G-SYNC over HDMI, I can confirm I can enable it on the NVIDIA control panel and that it works flawlessly. I tested HDMI 2.1 up to 4k@144Hz@12bpc and it works without any issues whatsoever.
I just got this monitor delivered today, picked it up for 460$ damn money well spent what a monitor for its price, I even have OLED CX 55inch but I wanted something for my desk this is indeed the best monitor for its price, I don't care about HDR on this cause I use the CX to play HDR games.
Great video I have watched a bunch of your videos trying to narrow down the best monitor for the Xbox series X. You have earned a sub!! In your opinion what is the best monitor between the Gigabyte M28U and the Samsung G70?
I guess it really depends on the use case. I more times than not lean toward the G70A, but a good case can be made for the M28U. I generally lean toward the Samsung though.
@@BainCustom Thank you for the response! I ended up purchasing both since they were both the same price in my area ($650) so I could test them out for myself. The Samsung G70A and the Gigabyte M28u performed really similar and from what I can tell are excellent options for the new next gen consoles. I did end up going with the Samsung and returned the Gigabyte. While the Gigabyte does appear brighter and does allow some customization with its HDR settings. I found that the colors could get pretty artificial looking and I also noticed with fast moving games that it struggled with transitions occasionally. I didn’t pick up on that with the Samsung. Once I noticed those differences I was set on getting the Samsung. A bonus is the front and back lighting it really gives of a cool ambient lighting vibe that I really enjoyed. Thank you for all of your great content. It really helped me with making my monitor decision. I’m not super tech savvy so your detailed informational videos were very helpful.
Well rotateable is really important its a value which you get for the future and for coders. Coders is self explaining and future because if you buy a new way better screen in future you can use it as 2 or 3 screen and if you need/want it upright its possible.
Hello. Thank you for the video, very informative. Quick question: If my intention is to buy a RTX 3080 or 4060 (when it comes out), which monitor would you recommend, Samsung Odyssey G70A or the Gigabyte M28U?
i was eyeing for MPG 321UR-QD which is INR 83-84k and other option was M32U 74k, in 28 inch department M28U 54k and Samsung suddenly dropped G70A price to 46k (that is $560 with all taxes) here in India. very tempting now but that means NEO G7 and G8 will be launching soon here.
They are coming very soon. I have been seeing Samsung start to dump prices on their monitors recently, they also have more inventory out in retailers. Which typically means they are offloading their inventory. That's still a good price and seems to be a better value than the others you mentioned.
@@BainCustom yup, will w8 for Neo G7 and G8 to launch, want to see how competitive their price will be, as Samsung is the only brand which prices their product very similar or even lower than US pricing here in India, all other brands charges at least 10-20% premium. have you tested both, is G7 any inferior to G8 except refresh rate?. Thanks.
Monitors in this age must have a remote control. The buttons could damage with time and also it would be lot easier using the remote for display settings.
A lot of monitors do offer an OSD menu that you can download. It is at least becoming more common. High end monitors do have remotes, it would be nice to see that more often though.
Great video mate, very solid! Anyone here who is using this monitor for their PS5? I am looking into a monitor to go with my PS5, and this one is the leader in that race for now. Any thoughts/experiences/reviews would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, awesome review, Do you think this is still a good option in 2024 since it is on discount on Amazon for around £585? I am hesitant between this and Neo G7 curved, I like the mini-LED in the Neo G7, but I will be working on productivity stuff and the curve is not my best option.
I won’t lie it’s a little big for me as a PC gaming monitor but that picture quality & HDR is nice & even though I still want a monitor I refuse to pay $1,400 for a 32 4K gaming monitor 🤦🏾🤷🏾
There is a new subscriber, who liked a lot your comments and your way of testing things. I was watching your videos and after seeing some similar situation in the comments recently (saddam guy), I bought this device today. What I would love to ask is, do you have any suggestions for the first things to do with this monitor or any monitor. I checked the firmware update but it is odd because Samsung website currently providing the 1004 firmware, but mine is 1006. :O I checked some dead pixel tests on UA-cam. Could you please point out some necessary stuff that I need to double-check or ensure when someone buy a 4K 144Hz monitor like this? Thank you very much in advance and I felt that I am lucky after spending time with lots of videos but then found your channel.
You bring up a really good question. I'm glad you are finding some good info on the channel, hopefully I can provide a bit more for you. -First thing is definitely any software or drivers updates available. -Next is that Eizo test, look for dead pixels and good uniformity. -Then I would calibrate using the windows calibration tool and clear type calibration after as well. -Then pull up your favorite game and calibrate a bit more for color and black level performance. -After that, make sure gsync or FreeSync is updated and functioning. Nvidia has a thing called Nvidia Tech Demos that helps test functionality of their technologies. -On top of that I would try to find ways to stress test (high frame games, high fidelity, etc.) -I'll be making a video soon on this topic and when I do, I will add more testing methods and things to do. But I think this list is a good start.
@@BainCustom are you able to release recommended settings for this monitor for console gaming and maybe a general settings for color calibration. I know every panel is different but could be used for a good starting point
You’ve convinced me I’m pulling the trigger it’s on sale at Best Buy for $599. Question. If I want to also use this monitor for work and would like to also add a second monitor for when I’m working what would be a good pairing? Thinking it would be overkill and overly expensive to have 2 of these guys when only one is needed to game
That is a fantastic question. I personally use a BenQ 1080p monitor to the left of this one. As long as the Samsung is up to date, there should be no issue there in pairing whatever monitor you find suits your needs. I will know however, due to scaling issues with Windows, a 1440p or 4k monitor will give a much smoother transition in between monitors than a 1080p monitor will.
G50A is my choice because i don't use the 4k, but this one is really good if you can or have/ swap between pc/ net gen console.. awesome Samsung lineup.
I’ve got an Asus 4K 60htz monitor with no HDR which is few years old now will this be a big upgrade in comparison. Also is this a good pick for Series X is it still your number one choice. Subbed as appreciate the level of detail in your videos
Hey thanks for subscribing to the channel! It's probably my favorite duel use monitor right now for both the series x and pc. That being said, if it's on sale, it's a better buy than the gigabyte m28u. At full price I would probably highly consider the m28u if I only used Xbox or ps5. For PC though, I would absolutely say this is my favorite monitor to date.
@@BainCustom Turns out its no longer for sale in the UK I’ve ended up ordering a Alienware AW2721D just hope I’ve not made a mistake lol it’s a minefield trying to choose a monitor as you probably know
Hey! First of all congratulations for tha amazing content you give to us! So, i dont have budget for HDMI 2.1 monitor. Wich 1440 monitor do you recommend for play on XBOX SERIES X? Thanks in advance!
Right now. The LG GP83B is what I think is the best matched 1440p monitor for the XSX. I get it, 4k monitors are spendy. I think you will be just as happy with that LG
Hey, excellent review ! We (older son and I) can't get the M28U in this area (Minneapolis), so we were going to go with the Asus VG28UQL1A for hi Christmas gift... until I saw this Samsung, which is also available locally. Our specific requirements are: HDMI 2.1 for eventual PS5 compatibility; G-Sync for a new NVidia card, when the prices and availability settle down; and good dynamics for FPS games. You've done a great comparison against the M28U (thank you!) but how does this compare to the Asus? I hear the Asus is slightly better in terms of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for PS5 work, though in several other areas the M28U is better. Have you done / will you do a Samsung Asus VG28U comparison ?? Many thanks again for fascinating reviews!
First off, that sounds like an awesome future setup! I really hope I get the opportunity to compare the two, they definitely are pretty close on paper. I have also heard of the issues this Samsung faces with the PS5 and wonder if the Asus might be better. Not having a PS5 myself (supply issues), I have not been able to test that portion out. I will say this beats out the M28U, it just has that edge in gaming that I really enjoy. The color is noticeably better and more accurate too. I do have a comparison video lined up between the M28U and this Samsung, so hopefully that will answer a few more questions. Good luck and Good Gaming!
Hello, I ordered both from amazon, currently trying both out, gonna return the one I like least. So far, they seem almost identical while playing on my PS5, theyre both excellent. Having trouble deciding. What did you decide on sir?
How does this compare to the XV282K in regards to response time/ ghosting/ clarity in motion? I'm trying to compare both videos but finding it hard to note a significant difference. Mostly intending to use it for FPS.
Honestly, I preordered it on Samsung's store (shipping at midlle of March) at 569 euros and I think there is no other alternative on the market at this price. I cannot wait for it, I really want to try this panel by myself.
Hi! Quick Question: I have this monitor - I have the Xbox Series X - I only play warzone for the xbox settings - which is the best settings for this monitor? 4kUHD 120HZ 24 bits per pixel (8-bit) Color Space: PC RGB For the monitor should I have the settings you recommended in the menu details? or should I have the FreeSync Premium Pro on or off?
Definitely keep FreeSync on, the Xbox series s/x will allow VRR with this monitor. I used the settings in the video for Xbox and it worked well. You may have to brighten the display or change a few small menus around, but overall that is what I recommend.
I have a ps5 and a gaming rig with Nvidia 1080ti. Thoughts on Gigabyte M32U vs Samsung G70A? Guessing both will work great for ps5. M32U is G-Sync compatible tested whereas the G70A is Nvidia certified. M32U has built in KVM switch, speakers, and will cost me about $150 more than the G70A
The M32U is pretty underrated imo. But that Gsync performance is way better on the G70A. So if you PC game more than console, go Samsung. If it's 50/50 or more console than PC (i doubt) then Gigabyte for sure.
superb video, unfortunately filming the samsung G70A does not read well, do you have game extracts? I hesitate between the samsung G7 and the G70 A. I have a gaming pc with an RX 6700 XT and an xbox serie x, what do you think? thank you
Thanks for the subscribe to the channel! Are you asking for like a screen capture of gameplay? If so I can see about posting some on the Facebook group that we have. That being said, having used a 5700XT for the last 2 years and knowing the performance of the 6700XT, i would say that 1440p is a much better resolution for these cards than 4k. You could get away with running 4k, but overall motion will be better with the g7 than the g70. I am a sucker for overbuying though, so I get the dilemma 😂
I will typically always test using a DisplayPort cable, I have tested using HDMI 2.1 but I always mention when I use HDMI since it's not the preferred connection method. Thanks for the sub by the way, I'll see you on the next video.
Nice review 😊I have a specific question for you and I hope you can help me. Recently I bought this monitor and was very disappointed by the image quality on my PS5. It simply looks very unsharp compared to my previous 4K 60hz LG monitor - night and day difference, like an oil painting. After a lot of messing around I found out that the brightness, contrast and especially sharpness settings (0-100) do absolutely nothing. There is literally zero difference between 0 and 100 sharpness (as well as the other two which are a little less significant). Have you noticed the same thing? If not, what setting from A to Z are you using? You could be my life saver! Tnx in advance Edit: using a HDMI 2.1 cable. Tested both monitors with the same settings on PS5 (and altered those setting as well with no results)
So here are my settings. I hope they help. The contrast should absolutely change quite a bit. But it could be a pre-sets function overriding the manual settings. So try these, let me know your experience. Samsung G70A Calibration: SDR Calibration: (I may update, lmk what you think) Picture Mode - Custom | Response Time - Faster | Adaptive-Sync - On | Low-Input Lag - On | Black Equalizer - 13 | Brightness - 60 | Contrast - 85 | Sharpness - 60 | Red - 48 | Green - 50 | Blue - 48 | Gamma - Mode1 | Saturation - 50 | Local Dimming - On | PC/AV Mode - PC HDR Calibration: Picture Mode - HDR Dynamic | Response Time - Faster | Adaptive-Sync - On | Low-Input Lag - On | Black Equalizer - 13 | Brightness - 100 | Contrast - 75 | Sharpness - 60 | Red - 48 | Green - 50 | Blue - 48 | Color Tone - Normal | Saturation - 60 | Local Dimming - On | PC/AV Mode - PC
I bought the G70A in May 2022 for my Series X and it's been great ... but 4 days ago it became very much NOT great. It just sits there now with a black screen and nothing but the little blue led on the underside edge at the front by the power/toggle button gives any indication that it is receiving power. I have tried everything and this monitor just refuses to wake up now ... and looking around the internet I am far from alone. The G7 range at least seems to have some real issues with intermittent and permanent black screen and I have even seen similar issues now with some G8 models. It's officially out of warranty now so I guess realistically I'm looking at paying for a repair or another monitor ... at this point I'm probably looking at the Dell G3223Q. At least it has a 3 year warranty. £586 for 16 months use isn't great is it ... I think Samsung must be losing quite a few customers as a result of this. I doubt that I'll buy one of their monitors again tbh. So folks my advice would be do your research and avoid this monitor ... there are just too many out there it appears who will not see their 2nd. birthday :( 😥
Technically the monitor is already in game mode and should auto switch "most" settings to fit the consoles settings. That being said, you will want to go in and change some of the more advanced settings if you are not getting the outcome you prefer. But should be fairly plug and play for a basic setup.
Saw this for $650 on BF but didn't have the money. It was $50 off there for awhile. It's between this and the Asus Vg28uql1a for me. I can't decide yet
I would absolutely disclose if Samsung was giving me anything in any way to review. Even when I do monitor reviews for companies, I don't agree to give anything in return and don't accept cash or other forms of payment for the review. That's my long way of saying, it's as honest as I can be and I think you made the right choice 😎
@@BainCustom sounds good, im playing some games now with my ps5 and Im having fun with it! A video of some settings for this monitor would be great. To reach the 4k 120hz ext..
Great review 👍🏻 I got 3090 a month ago and I want to upgrade from 1080p 22" 60hz to 4k or 1440p. I like this monitor but any monitor you know that has zero smearing or ghosting aside from the BenQ 1080p dyac ?
Well. That's a tough question for sure. The LG GP850 has very low motion blur at 1440p. Which would lead me to believe the LG GP959 would be just as good at 4k. Although my experience and testing with this monitor was similar if not slightly better. But the only monitor I have tested that is better was the Acer Nitro XV271 240hz at 1080p. Which is really splitting hairs. This would be in my top 2 to 3 for motion at 1080p, but take a look at some of the ViewSonic monitors. Every one I have tested has been great on motion and seemingly zero ghosting like the Elite XG270Q.
@@BainCustom the XG270Q looks old I found reviews about it since 2017! Or maybe I'm wrong since Amazon reviews sometimes mixes old and new versions together. And for the newer versions it got really bad reviews regarding motion clarity.
@@BainCustom Ok I have ordered the new PC parts. New mouse, keyboard, case Thermaltake Core P3 ATX Tempered Glass, motherboard Asus TUF Z690-Plus WiFi, CPU 12700K, PSU RM 1000x, RAM Crucial Ballstix Max 4400 CL19, and cooler Noctua chromax. The only thing left is the monitor. I decided to get 4k 144hz now I'm puzzled whether to go with the G70A or the M28U. They both are at the same price for me. I was about to get the M28U but then I saw your other review saying despite the better specs on paper for the M28U, the G70A feels smoother and more responsive while gaming on RTX GPU. And now back to square 1 🤦🏻. I really cannot decide 😂. I have 3090, I know that both works fine regarding VRR on both but.... I'm reaching out for help. And one more thing, are we going to get this 20:43 on all monitors? The clarity here is really important to get back your aim accurately. You think even OLED TVs/monitors will also have this double/triple vision?
Nice. I'm gonna use two of these in a dual setup, what ports should i use on my RTX 3080 videocard (it has 1 x HDMI and 3 x displayport)? Simply two of the displayports or should i use 1x HDMI and 1x displayport?
Definitely used to display ports. Keep an eye out for any type of screen flickering when using this exact model. These two together shouldn't have an issue whatsoever, but when you mismatch them, sometimes they have flickering issues.
Would you happen to know the best settings for this monitor on Xbox X for playing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer? I keep seeing people playing on 4K/120 but not sure if that is truly possible. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you very much for this detailed and great video, you earned a new subscriber! 👏👍 I will check out more content in your channel but before I must ask something: I have RTX 3080 and want to upgrade my monitor, playing mostly FPS, CoD Cold War, Vanguard, Battlefield games. There are 3 candidates for me: LG 27GP950-B LG 27GN950-B Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 There is big price difference between both LG monitors and this Samsung one (Samsung is the inexpensive one in my location). Do you think I can worry about LG ones and choose that side, or if I shall go for Samsung. Hope you would advise, thanks in advance!
Hey just glad I could be helpful and give some information about this monitor. I have used tons of LG Ultra gear monitors and by all means they are fantastic. I have had some slight motion issues with some of their models, but the current g70a doesn't disappoint in that area. Personally I think you can't go wrong with any of the three. I know for a fact that the GP lineup does have some massive updates (not upgrades per se) to the lighting, menus and motion. That has been my experience so far. My choice would be between the G70A and GP950. Tough call, but currently Samsung has my vote.
You mentioned using a controller over hdmi 2.1 cause some bad input lag, so i wondered if this monitor is still better than the Nitro XV282K KV or M28U when it comes to console gaming?
I found this at a pawn shop for $400 the other day I talked them down to $300 now I'm going to take my old 4K Samsung 60 HZ freesync* Monitor and sell that for $300 and that folks is how you upgrade 🙂
Is it still worth $300? Why not pay it forward, give a new gamer a great deal and make their day lol. Whatever you do, solid buy for sure. Glad you got something new and exciting!
@@BainCustom you know you're right after rethinking it I'm sure I could let this go for $150 or even a hundred and hopefully it does fall into a new Gamers hands.
Is there another monitor you recommend on the same tier? I am looking for a really good monitor to finally invest in for an xbox series x and loved your video since it was really helpful compared to others I've seen.
Did you watch the end of the video? I would tell you to get this one. It's my top recommendation for monitors in it's class. I have a link in the video description.
@@BainCustom So I just I got one! Super hyped, but would love a settings guide/set up whenever you can! I mainly play Destiny 2 right now but looking to get into Elden Ring and a bunch of other games coming out this year!
Dude at 16:17 you have both Gsync and HDR enabled ?? how is that possible on Gsync Compatible monitor , isn't that exclusive to Gsync Ultimate monitors ?
Windows and the game control the HDR capability not G-Sync. That would be a major point against nvidia if that were the case. Maybe it is for certain functionalities? IDK, but I have never had a problem.
Around the 19 minute mark in your video you mentioned that using controller over HDMI 2.1 was "spongy" and you felt more input lag. Have you continued to notice this while using controller over HDMI 2.1 in other games as well? I am using a series X and mainly play Warzone and Vanguard. Your reviews have been great and I ended up buying the LG27gp83, M28U, and the G70a. I have been doing my own comparisons between the monitors to try to figure out which one I am going to keep. I still have the M28u in the box, haven't opened it yet. Things I have noticed with the other two monitors.... The LGgp83 has a great picture, feels fast and I like the colors. The G70a renders more of the map with better long range detail in Warzone and the contrast/black equalizer is better, allowing you to see slightly more in the trees and bushes. Further analysis from you on the spongy/more input lag over HDMI 2.1 with controller would be appreciated. Thank you!
wow. Yeah those are some great monitors for sure. Definitely well worth the investment to find the right one. I will be fair and say that I haven't really tested the other monitors with K&M/Controller like I did the Samsung. But it was also the first that I tested out hdmi 2.1 gameplay on a graphics card. If I had to explain the HDMI 2.1 delay, it is exactly that. I noticed a massive uptick in input lag and overall response of the key/button presses through display port. The low input lag was on, it was on a PC, yet as soon as I switched from HDMI to Display Port it was a noticeable difference in response time.
Hi, have you recommend monitor settings for series x. I've auto HDR/HDR 10 turned off on Xbox as in game the monitor changes the preset from custom to Dynamic HDR. So, was there any light bleed on your model Thanks
Hey, be sure to subscribe and check out all of my videos on the G70A. I do have a few that I cover my calibration and console settings. Just find my console gaming playlist and filter by the G70A. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Great review! I just purchased this monitor and wanted to know if you would suggest using HDMI 2.1 or DP from PC for a better overall experience. Thanks!
HDMI 2.1 was not bad, but honestly DP performed better overall and I feel more confident in it at this point. Hopefully one day it will be one cable to rule them all!!! (HDMI).
I bought the samsung a while ago , but i find myself lack on the settings for my ps5. Do you have any idea wich settings i need to use on my monitor? i always play warzone and vanguard but story games doesnt concern me cuz i dont strive for a absolute beast picture quality, for me the response time and seeing the opponent(clear picture quality) is priority. thank you
I am working on that video. I wish I could give more insight on the PS5....so I went out and bought one, although I own absolutely zero stock in playstation I want to learn more and be able to speak about it in the videos. Be sure to stick around and keep an eye out for that video and content to drop around the PS5.
@@BainCustom I’ll definitely watch when you release the video, but I’m about to purchase very soon. Do u think I should save the 150 dollars and go for the Samsung since u already know it’s good, or spend extra for LG that looks cleaner design?
@@ktofficial4945 I want the LG badly but has been out of stock recently, I haven’t found anyone comparing the two and haven’t decided if I want this one or the lg
Can you do a video or let me know what settings I should adjust for mw2 I placed an order for this monitor and it’s my first one so I need a bit of help 😅
I really need to know which is better, Acer XV282K or this G70A. I'm gonna buy one in 5 days but can you please tell me my best option specifically for Xbox Series X? Thanks
I appreciate the question. I am working on that video. It will be out soon. For now what I can offer is to watch this video (ua-cam.com/video/8Fv3TcIbxHA/v-deo.html) and compare that to this video. Until I fully test I don't want to release a conclusion. But I will tell you that I have kept both the M28U and G70A.
Can’t speak of the Acer, but I currently have this monitor and I must say that it is pretty awesome. Colors are great and contrast is really good for being an ips panel. Slight ips glow but I have seen way worse on my LG monitor. If you are set on a 28 inch 4k monitor, get this one at don’t look back. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
Great video and insight, very helpful, appreciated. Samsung website and support not helpful on this, what version number is the latest firmware to download please, website shows 1004.0 but I already have 1006.0 installed, or do the numbers not follow? Would appreciate some clarity if you have time, thanks.
Hey thanks for the question and support! Glad the video helped. From what I understand, the Samsung website is just outdated. You have the latest release, they just haven't rolled it out to the masses yet. You should be good, but feel free to check back to their website in a month or so.
@@BainCustom Makes sense, appreciate the confirmation. Just using it with my Xbox Series X and for productivity when working from home, impressed so far, but look forward to your upcoming Xbox specific video on this monitor, as I think I need to tweak the settings to get best performance and more of the pop you talk about. Thanks.
Do I need to update my firmware even if my Xbox series x works fine so far? It’s 1002 but the newest one is 1004.0? Also should I run AV or PC mode? I’m honestly confused with all the mixed reviews.
Yeah I've seen certain people complain about connectivity with the xbox. I personally have had zero issue with that, but I did update the firmware immediately. I would at least recommend doing that. I have been running my Xbox in PC mode lately. It seems to have a bit more compatibility with monitors rather than tvs. At least on the gaming side of things.
I am stuck between this monitor and the lggp950, although at the moment samsung website has it at £499 and the LG is currently £699 is there much of a difference for the series x?
Managed to snatch this at around $500 under their samsung promotion campaign. Not sure why theyre so cheap but i did read they are coming up with newer g-sync 4k 144 refresh models this year. Anyways, alot of monitor reviews fail to showcase the PIP feature. Does the PIP works in HDMI+ DISPLAYPORT? MY old 4k monitor have to have 2 spurces connected via HDMI for PIP mode to work, not 1DP and the another HDMI. What about the g70a? Would love to know this. Thanks.(FYI im traveling and have called samsung to deliver this in feb instead. I bought the g70a as $500 brand new was a bargain i couldnt let go. I have to know this because i have the LG GN950-B in mind too and may return it for GN950.)
Don't get me wrong I love LG's monitors. But the G70A is a new model compared to the GN lineup of lg, making me lean toward the Samsung. So I haven't used the PIP on this monitor, but I have used it with Samsung in general on their ultrawide monitors. I had zero issues with it whatsoever. I did a side-by-side of 1920x1080 and it worked perfectly.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the odyssey g70a 28inch LS28BG700EPXEN and the odyssey g70b 28inch LS28BG702EPXEN ? The g70a is bit older but the g70b is cheaper?
I bought the Samsung odyssey g7a before one month, is the best monitor i ever have! I have one problem, when i turn On my Pc, monitor don't open without to push the power button under the monitor. Is this normal? In settings i have sandby mode & auto switch on, why don't open automatically??
It could be the auto-detect setting. Maybe try to write down your current settings and calibration and then reset the monitor to factory defaults. Then you can re-calibrate those settings after. That should jog the power issue.
HDR does not actively disable gsync. There may be some circumstances where HDR will cause frame drops and lack of Gsync, but I have actively tested this while using Gsync and not had issues. But I think it was an issue years ago.
Hello I wanted to get the Lg C1 or this monitor but I hear lots of problems for Xbox series x gaming. Can you please let us know when you will be uploading a video regarding Xbox series d console gaming Im very interested but don’t want to make a buy unless I don’t have someone legit like yourself to test this on console. I have the series x and am dying to figure out a monitor/ tv to play on. Don’t have a budget so anything helps!
I'll be working on that video very soon. Definitely hit the notification bell on the home page so you see when it drops. That being said, I didn't have any issues testing out the series s with this monitor. The series x I haven't tested yet. But you can't go wrong with either the C1 or this. Just keep in mind that the C1, as good as it is, is not a gaming monitor. So it will not give the same feel and calibration that a good gaming monitor will.
Just got one of these and while it is excellent for gaming, I'm struggling to get the settings just right to use it for work as a second screen for my MacBook Pro. Any recommendations? It's the whites that are off mainly
The firmware is on the support the support page from Samsung. You have to use a USB drive and it has to go into the service usb port on the back of the monitor. You then can update straight from the monitor osd.
Yeah controller is tough. I abandoned controllers and got used to keyboard and mouse because of that. It wasn't due to this monitor or anything, it was just a preference.

Does these work for Xbox Series X? Or would you recommend different settings?
Got mine yesterday, and as expected it was way too green out of the box.
sorry but if i turn on active sync I cant change all the present you mention, in hdr calibration, or am I doing something wrong? because all the option are greyed out
Hi! nice review! Tho, I d have an important quest. How can I set up him in order to turn on by himself when I turn on my PC or my PS5? Thank you!
@@XaRcaNecKX same did you find a solution ?
@@Trafican_sanchez hi, what I figure it out is that if you select the options first and then turn on active sync they keep active
If you turn off adaptive sync and set the motion rate to either extreme or extreme ULMB than turn back on adaptive sync it will apply with adaptive sync. I run Extreme with adaptive sync on, makes motion blur non existent. Great vid 👍🏻.
I noticed that same thing with the overdrive being locked, but changeable. I have been running faster and it seems very solid as well. Although extreme performed pretty much the same for me. I appreciate the input and the wise advice!
So what do you guys advice? I was about to buy the M32U but after seeing this I'm not sure especially if you can run really make motion blur not existing
@@BainCustom appreciate the in-depth review btw . But what about response time and invert ghosting ?
@@chopholtz4950 this is an IPS not a VA
@nickjamesxii9144 for your monitor, is picture black level set to low or normal?
Next time you get tearing in a pc game with a 120 or 144hz monitor try disabling vsync in game and enabling vsync in the windows nvidia settings for the particular game. Fixed it for me in every game I had the issue with.
Agreed! I made that mistake early on and had terrible motion in game. So yes absolutely make sure that vsync is off and gsync is on.
Thanks for the input there 👊
@@BainCustom I think you misread. To get g sync to fully work, you have to turn V sync ON in nvidia control panel and off in game. If you do not do this, the g sync performance will be less smooth and you'll get some form off smearing along the lower edge of the screen. G sync is designed to work together with v sync. Only not the ingame one.
Really good review man! Probably the best I’ve seen for this monitor, very detailed, good examples, well spoken. Earned a sub!
You rock! Thanks for the wise words and Ill catch you on the next one 👊
Your video just made my day i bought lg ultragear 850N 32inch 1440p (I saw video for same) realized no hdmi 2(no future proof) canceled the order and ordered g7 as both were of same price (using 6700xt)
Thanks alot bro
Solid choice! Glad I was able to help out in some way. Not a bad monitor (850), but definitely not what you want for next gen gaming. Good luck and GG's
Such a great review!! Very informative! I’ve had this monitor for 2 weeks it is absolutely amazing on my series X 4K 120hz is mind blowing. I want your settings I mainly play Call of Duty Halo Forza!
haha! Thank you for saying that. It has been a fun monitor to review, hopefully many more videos to come. That being said, I just now posted the SDR calibration in the comments here and in the video description. Hope it helps!
Have you had any problems on your Series X with input lag as stated in this review ?
@@magz9816 I have not at all…
@@danecollier5971 Thanks for your response do you feel it was a good buy I’m awaiting delivery but nervous as read so many mixed things
@@danecollier5971 ok. That’s good to hear cause I was worried about that maybe it’s just a pc thing
Will you consider doing an in depth video on using this monitor for Series X and S for Warzone/CoD? Seeing as MW2 and WZ2 are just a few months away.
Great video. The kinda breakdown I needed and prolly everyone needs. Appreciate the effort you put in this video !!
For sure! I try to make it not dull and include as much info as I can. Glad it helped.
I initally got the M28U and the first thing that made me regret my decision was that the whites were really yellowish. I immediately sold the M28U and got the Samsung G70A and absolutely loved it. It's 50nits brighter, white looks like white and there's no issue of the screen being black for a long time when you turn off M28U in NVIDIA Control Panel to use another monitor.
What about the backlight bleeding on the g70a?
Yeah that's a bummer. It definitely didn't feel as good in the white points, but overall was solid. How do you think they compare now that you have had some time with both of them.
I returned this and got a LG 27Gn950. Don’t regret it at all.
Not a bad choice. Especially since that price came down.
My M28U has a lot of blue stuck pixels and some right on my windows taskbar that can't be unseen. Back it goes to amazon and this one is on order. Thx for the solid review.
No problem! I seem to get lucky on that front. I have yet to encounter a dead pixel on my monitors. Now TV's...that is a different story.

I find that in the HDR mode, lowering saturation to 50 makes the colours more balanced, at 60 they appear over saturated. Any thoughts on this?
Nice job man! Great review - just grabbed one for 650 from Best Buy
For sure. Yup that is the price I paid and well worth the price!
honestly, thanks for your review. insanely in-depth. thumbs up
I appreciate thatm glad you liked it 👊
I love this monitor, got mine on Black Friday for 650, glad you got it too I haven’t seen many videos from others. I have a 3080, but I mostly use this for my Ps5 and series console. I think this was a steal on Black Friday and already back up to 800+ on most sites.
Yeah I have seen a few scalpers attempt to sell it for those high prices. Thankfully a few good people got some over the holiday sales. Thanks for the comment and GG!
@@BainCustom I think one of the best things about this compared to the M28U cause I had that first before I returned and put the 4 year plan on my G70A. Is the bandwidth on the HDMI 2.1 port. The Gigabyte is 24gig like most next gen monitors even the bigger 43 inch, while the G70A has 40 gig bandwidth. I know it’s not the full 48 gig but damn I’m impressed.
Just got it for the price of $650, I was going to return it for an ultrawide, but I couldn't cancel it in time. Now that it's in my possession and I've experienced 4k on Gears and Halo, i'm very impressed. I also have Series X, PS5, and 3080 so I'm in the same boat as you. Did you ever consider an ultrawide?
How was it please tell me
You actually released the video right after I asked about this it’s so awesome!
😂 I was working on it as you asked!
@@BainCustom thanks for that! Your channels so underrated for all your hardwork
Well, I will just keep doing what I do. Maybe something big will happen and maybe it won't. I appreciate you.
Dude! Thank u so much for the review of the g70 !!!! I came from the g7 32 240hz and was happy, Not 100%. The freesync i turned off beacause it was without smoother for me, but it was Never 100% smooth for me with 200 fps + which i get with my 6900 xt. So i gave the g70 28 a chance, and what can i say ? It runs every Game what i have in 4K so fucking smooth ♥️♥️♥️ warzone 2 with 85-120 fps but it doesnt matter wich fps Range , it beats my 32 g7 240 in every way! I'm so happy with this Monitor, i'll will Never go back to an va Panel! Ips love ❤
That is awesome to hear! The Samsung G70 was a game changer for me, I had used other 4k monitors, but something about it stood out. Now there are a ton of new options available, but it still holds up well. Thanks for the input on the video!
If you Ever Come to a compersion of the g7 32 and the g70a, Test the Games Witcher 3, gta v, Forza Motorsport 5, battlefield 1&V. I dont know why the 144 hz on the g70a Feel so much smoother in that Games and this from qhd to uhd 🙈
Just ordered this for 600, and I am highly satisfied with my purchase after this video
Wise choice! 😎
I just bought it for $550 from best buy flash sale. I have a 48 in lg oled already. This is for my son for Christmas
Great video! I own the G70A myself in combination with a PS5. I would love to see a video about that, like you did with the M28U. Cheers!
You got it! The benchmarking and gameplay is done, I will be wrapping up very soon with the final cut and have it posted up.
Thank you btw!
Awesome! 👍🏼
Hi bro does this run 4k at 120 hz for warzone out of the box? Or you have to do some kind of update to run 4k
Loved the review! Surprised with how few subscribers you have for such great production quality so I subbed!
I appreciate that! Just a few more and we'll be at 5k! Welcome to the channel btw!
Just managed to get a used one from Amazon for €580. The list of defects only listed minor stuff on the back. Surprisingly, the back was actually fine and so was the screen, until I found a red stuck pixel right in the middle of it. Tried everything I could but it didn't fix it. Having to return it with a pain in my heart because I know it won't be until Q1 2022 that'll be able to get another one.
But in the meantime I tested it a bunch and it's really, really good coming from a 27GL850. Oh, having not-so-gray blacks is awesome.
Yeah the gl850 had that glow issue. I had the GN850 for a good amount of time and still noticed it. I wonder if you can't just warranty exchange it direct through Samsung? Maybe they will be able to fix it or have a new one set aside for warranty?
Anyways, it's worth the wait in my opinion, although it sucks you have to wait even longer...
@@BainCustom I've contacted Samsung about that. Still waiting their response, but I'm 99% sure it will be negative and they'll tell me to just return to the retailer.
Returned that one, bought another one and the new one works like a charm, and it came with firmware version 1006.0, which is newer than the latest one on Samsung's website
@@andrebrait how is it preforming now? Also are you able to change the color of the lighting on the back?
@@PkmnTrnAnt it performs fine and I can change the RGB back light color.
Also, despite not being certified for G-SYNC over HDMI, I can confirm I can enable it on the NVIDIA control panel and that it works flawlessly.
I tested HDMI 2.1 up to 4k@144Hz@12bpc and it works without any issues whatsoever.
I just got this monitor delivered today, picked it up for 460$ damn money well spent what a monitor for its price, I even have OLED CX 55inch but I wanted something for my desk this is indeed the best monitor for its price, I don't care about HDR on this cause I use the CX to play HDR games.
Where did you buy it at at that price
@@JustxLiving909 amazon india
Solid AF! I keep seeing this monitor on massive sales, that is good to see. Obviously new models have dropped, so it's worth a buy.
Getting this Monitor cant wait to Play on it
Let me know how it goes!
Great video I have watched a bunch of your videos trying to narrow down the best monitor for the Xbox series X. You have earned a sub!! In your opinion what is the best monitor between the Gigabyte M28U and the Samsung G70?
I guess it really depends on the use case. I more times than not lean toward the G70A, but a good case can be made for the M28U. I generally lean toward the Samsung though.
@@BainCustom Thank you for the response! I ended up purchasing both since they were both the same price in my area ($650) so I could test them out for myself. The Samsung G70A and the Gigabyte M28u performed really similar and from what I can tell are excellent options for the new next gen consoles. I did end up going with the Samsung and returned the Gigabyte. While the Gigabyte does appear brighter and does allow some customization with its HDR settings. I found that the colors could get pretty artificial looking and I also noticed with fast moving games that it struggled with transitions occasionally. I didn’t pick up on that with the Samsung. Once I noticed those differences I was set on getting the Samsung. A bonus is the front and back lighting it really gives of a cool ambient lighting vibe that I really enjoyed. Thank you for all of your great content. It really helped me with making my monitor decision. I’m not super tech savvy so your detailed informational videos were very helpful.
Well rotateable is really important its a value which you get for the future and for coders. Coders is self explaining and future because if you buy a new way better screen in future you can use it as 2 or 3 screen and if you need/want it upright its possible.
Hello. Thank you for the video, very informative. Quick question: If my intention is to buy a RTX 3080 or 4060 (when it comes out), which monitor would you recommend, Samsung Odyssey G70A or the Gigabyte M28U?
my testing showed better gsync (lack of tearing) with the g70a over the gigabyte. They are close, but my money goes to the G70a for Nvidia users.
Great video. Just ordered for series x cant wait
O yeah, you won't be disappointed! Thanks for the input and GG's!
Hows it working with X.X? thinking of gettin one for PS5. i currently have a Older samsung curved monitor, but it only goes 60hz
Just purchased this at best buy for 550 bucks 🔥
Not a bad price at all 🔥
Man youre the best!
Love the dept that you put into finding out all the details of this monitor! Subbed
Thank you! That's what I hope happens. You like the content and hopefully I put out more that you can come back and enjoy! See you on the next one!
i was eyeing for MPG 321UR-QD which is INR 83-84k and other option was M32U 74k, in 28 inch department M28U 54k and Samsung suddenly dropped G70A price to 46k (that is $560 with all taxes) here in India. very tempting now but that means NEO G7 and G8 will be launching soon here.
They are coming very soon. I have been seeing Samsung start to dump prices on their monitors recently, they also have more inventory out in retailers. Which typically means they are offloading their inventory.
That's still a good price and seems to be a better value than the others you mentioned.
@@BainCustom yup, will w8 for Neo G7 and G8 to launch, want to see how competitive their price will be, as Samsung is the only brand which prices their product very similar or even lower than US pricing here in India, all other brands charges at least 10-20% premium. have you tested both, is G7 any inferior to G8 except refresh rate?. Thanks.
Monitors in this age must have a remote control. The buttons could damage with time and also it would be lot easier using the remote for display settings.
exactly
A lot of monitors do offer an OSD menu that you can download. It is at least becoming more common. High end monitors do have remotes, it would be nice to see that more often though.
Great video mate, very solid! Anyone here who is using this monitor for their PS5? I am looking into a monitor to go with my PS5, and this one is the leader in that race for now. Any thoughts/experiences/reviews would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, awesome review,
Do you think this is still a good option in 2024 since it is on discount on Amazon for around £585?
I am hesitant between this and Neo G7 curved,
I like the mini-LED in the Neo G7, but I will be working on productivity stuff and the curve is not my best option.
Nice but I'm still waiting for 32 inch versions of 4k 144hz when they are high stock mode in store shelves then I will upgrade to one. :)
Hopefully the price isn't outrageous. Although that is par for the course these days. I wouldn't mind doing a nice comparison video on it.
Have you ever thought about the 48 inch C1
I won’t lie it’s a little big for me as a PC gaming monitor but that picture quality & HDR is nice & even though I still want a monitor I refuse to pay $1,400 for a 32 4K gaming monitor 🤦🏾🤷🏾
Bought one with 20% off and it’s worth the money for sure the best monitor I have played on. This works for pc or series x. Good review.
Glad to hear it! I agree with your input 😎
Good vid! I have it for my ps5! Now let the ps5 games 120hz 4k come! Also warzone 2!! Warzone 1 is unfortunately still not 100% on graphics
Agreed on the Warzone graphics. They need some help there, but compared to xbox, the PS5 has been holding it's own in warzone.
@@BainCustom what u mean holding its own?
There is a new subscriber, who liked a lot your comments and your way of testing things. I was watching your videos and after seeing some similar situation in the comments recently (saddam guy), I bought this device today. What I would love to ask is, do you have any suggestions for the first things to do with this monitor or any monitor. I checked the firmware update but it is odd because Samsung website currently providing the 1004 firmware, but mine is 1006. :O I checked some dead pixel tests on UA-cam. Could you please point out some necessary stuff that I need to double-check or ensure when someone buy a 4K 144Hz monitor like this? Thank you very much in advance and I felt that I am lucky after spending time with lots of videos but then found your channel.
You bring up a really good question. I'm glad you are finding some good info on the channel, hopefully I can provide a bit more for you.
-First thing is definitely any software or drivers updates available.
-Next is that Eizo test, look for dead pixels and good uniformity.
-Then I would calibrate using the windows calibration tool and clear type calibration after as well.
-Then pull up your favorite game and calibrate a bit more for color and black level performance.
-After that, make sure gsync or FreeSync is updated and functioning. Nvidia has a thing called Nvidia Tech Demos that helps test functionality of their technologies.
-On top of that I would try to find ways to stress test (high frame games, high fidelity, etc.)
-I'll be making a video soon on this topic and when I do, I will add more testing methods and things to do. But I think this list is a good start.
@@BainCustom are you able to release recommended settings for this monitor for console gaming and maybe a general settings for color calibration. I know every panel is different but could be used for a good starting point
You’ve convinced me I’m pulling the trigger it’s on sale at Best Buy for $599. Question. If I want to also use this monitor for work and would like to also add a second monitor for when I’m working what would be a good pairing? Thinking it would be overkill and overly expensive to have 2 of these guys when only one is needed to game
That is a fantastic question. I personally use a BenQ 1080p monitor to the left of this one. As long as the Samsung is up to date, there should be no issue there in pairing whatever monitor you find suits your needs.
I will know however, due to scaling issues with Windows, a 1440p or 4k monitor will give a much smoother transition in between monitors than a 1080p monitor will.
How was it please tell me

G50A is my choice because i don't use the 4k, but this one is really good if you can or have/ swap between pc/ net gen console.. awesome Samsung lineup.
100% agree. I just snagged the G50A for review so I think that will be cool! Between Samsung and LG this year, you just can't seem to go wrong.
@@BainCustom Yep, was both in my list. The LG was sold out. 😅
I’ve got an Asus 4K 60htz monitor with no HDR which is few years old now will this be a big upgrade in comparison. Also is this a good pick for Series X is it still your number one choice. Subbed as appreciate the level of detail in your videos
Hey thanks for subscribing to the channel! It's probably my favorite duel use monitor right now for both the series x and pc. That being said, if it's on sale, it's a better buy than the gigabyte m28u. At full price I would probably highly consider the m28u if I only used Xbox or ps5. For PC though, I would absolutely say this is my favorite monitor to date.
@@BainCustom Turns out its no longer for sale in the UK I’ve ended up ordering a Alienware AW2721D just hope I’ve not made a mistake lol it’s a minefield trying to choose a monitor as you probably know
I’ve cancelled my order for the Alienware and await delivery of this G7 as now in stock in the U.K. 😀
Hey! First of all congratulations for tha amazing content you give to us!
So, i dont have budget for HDMI 2.1 monitor. Wich 1440 monitor do you recommend for play on XBOX SERIES X?

Right now. The LG GP83B is what I think is the best matched 1440p monitor for the XSX. I get it, 4k monitors are spendy. I think you will be just as happy with that LG
Thanks btw! I appreciate the support!
Hey, excellent review ! We (older son and I) can't get the M28U in this area (Minneapolis), so we were going to go with the Asus VG28UQL1A for hi Christmas gift... until I saw this Samsung, which is also available locally. Our specific requirements are: HDMI 2.1 for eventual PS5 compatibility; G-Sync for a new NVidia card, when the prices and availability settle down; and good dynamics for FPS games. You've done a great comparison against the M28U (thank you!) but how does this compare to the Asus? I hear the Asus is slightly better in terms of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for PS5 work, though in several other areas the M28U is better. Have you done / will you do a Samsung Asus VG28U comparison ?? Many thanks again for fascinating reviews!
First off, that sounds like an awesome future setup! I really hope I get the opportunity to compare the two, they definitely are pretty close on paper. I have also heard of the issues this Samsung faces with the PS5 and wonder if the Asus might be better. Not having a PS5 myself (supply issues), I have not been able to test that portion out. I will say this beats out the M28U, it just has that edge in gaming that I really enjoy. The color is noticeably better and more accurate too.
I do have a comparison video lined up between the M28U and this Samsung, so hopefully that will answer a few more questions. Good luck and Good Gaming!
Hello, I ordered both from amazon, currently trying both out, gonna return the one I like least. So far, they seem almost identical while playing on my PS5, theyre both excellent. Having trouble deciding. What did you decide on sir?
@@SickShotz_ was the g7 better
@@arkclips7081 i kept the Samsung g70a!!
@@SickShotz_ thank you for responding. Ive been clueless on what monitor to buy for my ps5 and whether i should even get 4k or 1440p
How does this compare to the XV282K in regards to response time/ ghosting/ clarity in motion? I'm trying to compare both videos but finding it hard to note a significant difference. Mostly intending to use it for FPS.
I think it is on par. Not as dynamic in the colors. But better black level performance and similar in motion. That's my take anyways.
Honestly, I preordered it on Samsung's store (shipping at midlle of March) at 569 euros and I think there is no other alternative on the market at this price. I cannot wait for it, I really want to try this panel by myself.
You are 100% correct. There really isn't at that price. Good luck and Good Gaming! You will thoroughly enjoy this monitor!
Very jealous, cause there is no way to get it at this price erange anymore
I was between this and the acer nitro, sold me in this lol
Wise Choice! Although both are good monitors.
Hi!
Quick Question: I have this monitor - I have the Xbox Series X - I only play warzone
for the xbox settings - which is the best settings for this monitor?
4kUHD
120HZ
24 bits per pixel (8-bit)
Color Space: PC RGB
For the monitor should I have the settings you recommended in the menu details? or should I have the FreeSync Premium Pro on or off?
Definitely keep FreeSync on, the Xbox series s/x will allow VRR with this monitor.
I used the settings in the video for Xbox and it worked well. You may have to brighten the display or change a few small menus around, but overall that is what I recommend.
@@BainCustom Thank you so much! do you think 8-bit and the color space : PC RGB are the good settings?
@@Jordan-do8vt yes use that.
I have a ps5 and a gaming rig with Nvidia 1080ti. Thoughts on Gigabyte M32U vs Samsung G70A? Guessing both will work great for ps5. M32U is G-Sync compatible tested whereas the G70A is Nvidia certified. M32U has built in KVM switch, speakers, and will cost me about $150 more than the G70A
The M32U is pretty underrated imo. But that Gsync performance is way better on the G70A. So if you PC game more than console, go Samsung. If it's 50/50 or more console than PC (i doubt) then Gigabyte for sure.
superb video, unfortunately filming the samsung G70A does not read well, do you have game extracts? I hesitate between the samsung G7 and the G70 A. I have a gaming pc with an RX 6700 XT and an xbox serie x, what do you think? thank you
Thanks for the subscribe to the channel! Are you asking for like a screen capture of gameplay? If so I can see about posting some on the Facebook group that we have.
That being said, having used a 5700XT for the last 2 years and knowing the performance of the 6700XT, i would say that 1440p is a much better resolution for these cards than 4k.
You could get away with running 4k, but overall motion will be better with the g7 than the g70.
I am a sucker for overbuying though, so I get the dilemma 😂
nice review I just bought it
I want the calibration profile if you can ?
and should I let the hdr on on the Win 10 or not
Subbed. Are you using HDMI 2.1 or Display Port ? I will play on my 3080.
I will typically always test using a DisplayPort cable, I have tested using HDMI 2.1 but I always mention when I use HDMI since it's not the preferred connection method. Thanks for the sub by the way, I'll see you on the next video.
Nice review 😊I have a specific question for you and I hope you can help me.
Recently I bought this monitor and was very disappointed by the image quality on my PS5. It simply looks very unsharp compared to my previous 4K 60hz LG monitor - night and day difference, like an oil painting.
After a lot of messing around I found out that the brightness, contrast and especially sharpness settings (0-100) do absolutely nothing. There is literally zero difference between 0 and 100 sharpness (as well as the other two which are a little less significant).
Have you noticed the same thing? If not, what setting from A to Z are you using?
You could be my life saver! Tnx in advance
Edit: using a HDMI 2.1 cable. Tested both monitors with the same settings on PS5 (and altered those setting as well with no results)
So here are my settings. I hope they help. The contrast should absolutely change quite a bit. But it could be a pre-sets function overriding the manual settings. So try these, let me know your experience.
Samsung G70A Calibration:
SDR Calibration: (I may update, lmk what you think)
Picture Mode - Custom | Response Time - Faster | Adaptive-Sync - On | Low-Input Lag - On | Black Equalizer - 13 | Brightness - 60 | Contrast - 85 | Sharpness - 60 | Red - 48 | Green - 50 | Blue - 48 | Gamma - Mode1 | Saturation - 50 | Local Dimming - On | PC/AV Mode - PC
HDR Calibration:
Picture Mode - HDR Dynamic | Response Time - Faster | Adaptive-Sync - On | Low-Input Lag - On | Black Equalizer - 13 | Brightness - 100 | Contrast - 75 | Sharpness - 60 | Red - 48 | Green - 50 | Blue - 48 | Color Tone - Normal | Saturation - 60 | Local Dimming - On | PC/AV Mode - PC
@@BainCustom thanks a bunch! I will try it as soon as I get the chance.
Does the sharpness also change noticeably on your monitor?
@@niekvanderkam Have you been able to verify? I am looking to buy this monitor for the PS5 and for work
@@iLoveCrossplay How about without HDR? Is it good for gaming in general on the PS5?
Can you make a video about the perfect configuration for the PS5? And maybe one about a colour calibration. Thank youuu!
oh for sure. Working on that video right now.
I'm still using my Samsung monitor c32hg70 1440p 144hz plays good on my ps5 I'm getting Xbox X to get my full power of the monitor g7 sounds good
Solid! Does the new VRR update work for you on the PS5?
I bought the G70A in May 2022 for my Series X and it's been great ... but 4 days ago it became very much NOT great. It just sits there now with a black screen and nothing but the little blue led on the underside edge at the front by the power/toggle button gives any indication that it is receiving power. I have tried everything and this monitor just refuses to wake up now ... and looking around the internet I am far from alone. The G7 range at least seems to have some real issues with intermittent and permanent black screen and I have even seen similar issues now with some G8 models.
It's officially out of warranty now so I guess realistically I'm looking at paying for a repair or another monitor ... at this point I'm probably looking at the Dell G3223Q. At least it has a 3 year warranty. £586 for 16 months use isn't great is it ... I think Samsung must be losing quite a few customers as a result of this. I doubt that I'll buy one of their monitors again tbh. So folks my advice would be do your research and avoid this monitor ... there are just too many out there it appears who will not see their 2nd. birthday :(
😥
So when plug in a new gen console you put that monitor on game mode and that's it?
Thank you for this analytic review!
Technically the monitor is already in game mode and should auto switch "most" settings to fit the consoles settings. That being said, you will want to go in and change some of the more advanced settings if you are not getting the outcome you prefer. But should be fairly plug and play for a basic setup.
Saw this for $650 on BF but didn't have the money. It was $50 off there for awhile. It's between this and the Asus Vg28uql1a for me. I can't decide yet
Back on sale at Microsoft for 650
I say this monitor is worth 650 all day. I would snag one for that price over the Asus.
Just bought it, hope this is a honest opinion of you about this monitor and not some ad. Great video man, like you said in your video.. spot on!👍
I would absolutely disclose if Samsung was giving me anything in any way to review. Even when I do monitor reviews for companies, I don't agree to give anything in return and don't accept cash or other forms of payment for the review.
That's my long way of saying, it's as honest as I can be and I think you made the right choice 😎
@@BainCustom sounds good, im playing some games now with my ps5 and Im having fun with it! A video of some settings for this monitor would be great. To reach the 4k 120hz ext..
Great review 👍🏻
I got 3090 a month ago and I want to upgrade from 1080p 22" 60hz to 4k or 1440p. I like this monitor but any monitor you know that has zero smearing or ghosting aside from the BenQ 1080p dyac ?
Well. That's a tough question for sure. The LG GP850 has very low motion blur at 1440p. Which would lead me to believe the LG GP959 would be just as good at 4k. Although my experience and testing with this monitor was similar if not slightly better. But the only monitor I have tested that is better was the Acer Nitro XV271 240hz at 1080p.
Which is really splitting hairs. This would be in my top 2 to 3 for motion at 1080p, but take a look at some of the ViewSonic monitors. Every one I have tested has been great on motion and seemingly zero ghosting like the Elite XG270Q.
@@BainCustom the XG270Q looks old I found reviews about it since 2017! Or maybe I'm wrong since Amazon reviews sometimes mixes old and new versions together. And for the newer versions it got really bad reviews regarding motion clarity.
@@BainCustom Ok I have ordered the new PC parts. New mouse, keyboard, case Thermaltake Core P3 ATX Tempered Glass, motherboard Asus TUF Z690-Plus WiFi, CPU 12700K, PSU RM 1000x, RAM Crucial Ballstix Max 4400 CL19, and cooler Noctua chromax. The only thing left is the monitor. I decided to get 4k 144hz now I'm puzzled whether to go with the G70A or the M28U. They both are at the same price for me. I was about to get the M28U but then I saw your other review saying despite the better specs on paper for the M28U, the G70A feels smoother and more responsive while gaming on RTX GPU. And now back to square 1 🤦🏻. I really cannot decide 😂. I have 3090, I know that both works fine regarding VRR on both but....
I'm reaching out for help.
And one more thing, are we going to get this 20:43 on all monitors? The clarity here is really important to get back your aim accurately. You think even OLED TVs/monitors will also have this double/triple vision?
I too have a 3090 and this monitor is not bad gets me over 100fps at 4k on most games
@@sheffrespawnz7235 yeah, I got the monitor already and I like it. It's really smooth even without VRR on there is no tearing
Nice. I'm gonna use two of these in a dual setup, what ports should i use on my RTX 3080 videocard (it has 1 x HDMI and 3 x displayport)? Simply two of the displayports or should i use 1x HDMI and 1x displayport?
Definitely used to display ports. Keep an eye out for any type of screen flickering when using this exact model. These two together shouldn't have an issue whatsoever, but when you mismatch them, sometimes they have flickering issues.
@@BainCustom Ok thanks a ton
Great video! Like your channel!
Hey thanks! I like your style 😎
Would you happen to know the best settings for this monitor on Xbox X for playing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer? I keep seeing people playing on 4K/120 but not sure if that is truly possible. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you very much for this detailed and great video, you earned a new subscriber! 👏👍
I will check out more content in your channel but before I must ask something: I have RTX 3080 and want to upgrade my monitor, playing mostly FPS, CoD Cold War, Vanguard, Battlefield games. There are 3 candidates for me:
LG 27GP950-B
LG 27GN950-B
Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70
There is big price difference between both LG monitors and this Samsung one (Samsung is the inexpensive one in my location). Do you think I can worry about LG ones and choose that side, or if I shall go for Samsung.
Hope you would advise, thanks in advance!
Hey just glad I could be helpful and give some information about this monitor. I have used tons of LG Ultra gear monitors and by all means they are fantastic. I have had some slight motion issues with some of their models, but the current g70a doesn't disappoint in that area.
Personally I think you can't go wrong with any of the three. I know for a fact that the GP lineup does have some massive updates (not upgrades per se) to the lighting, menus and motion. That has been my experience so far.
My choice would be between the G70A and GP950. Tough call, but currently Samsung has my vote.
@@BainCustom Thank you very much for your advices and for your time, sir. I just ordered the Samsung 👍
You mentioned using a controller over hdmi 2.1 cause some bad input lag, so i wondered if this monitor is still better than the Nitro XV282K KV or M28U when it comes to console gaming?
I am working on that video, to be able to give a good comparison for you. It will be a bit, but it is coming I promise.
Are you saying use an HDMI 2.0 on a consul there’s lag with the controller?
Thats not good lol
who would buy this for a console
I found this at a pawn shop for $400 the other day I talked them down to $300 now I'm going to take my old 4K Samsung 60 HZ freesync* Monitor and sell that for $300 and that folks is how you upgrade 🙂
Is it still worth $300? Why not pay it forward, give a new gamer a great deal and make their day lol. Whatever you do, solid buy for sure. Glad you got something new and exciting!
@@BainCustom you know you're right after rethinking it I'm sure I could let this go for $150 or even a hundred and hopefully it does fall into a new Gamers hands.
How is quality control with this monitor. I’ve seen it at a good price but QC is a worry.
You basically nailed it. Whenever a product is mass manufactured, there is bound to be some QC issues. There have been some, % I do not know.
Nice review! I'm looking at this monitor to purchase. Whats the average wattage does this particular monitor use? Especially when not gaming*
Did you buy it how was it
Is there another monitor you recommend on the same tier? I am looking for a really good monitor to finally invest in for an xbox series x and loved your video since it was really helpful compared to others I've seen.

@@BainCustom Yes I did! Just wanted to see other comparison but if you think this is the best deifntley going to get it

Dude at 16:17 you have both Gsync and HDR enabled ?? how is that possible on Gsync Compatible monitor , isn't that exclusive to Gsync Ultimate monitors ?
Windows and the game control the HDR capability not G-Sync. That would be a major point against nvidia if that were the case. Maybe it is for certain functionalities? IDK, but I have never had a problem.
Around the 19 minute mark in your video you mentioned that using controller over HDMI 2.1 was "spongy" and you felt more input lag. Have you continued to notice this while using controller over HDMI 2.1 in other games as well? I am using a series X and mainly play Warzone and Vanguard. Your reviews have been great and I ended up buying the LG27gp83, M28U, and the G70a. I have been doing my own comparisons between the monitors to try to figure out which one I am going to keep. I still have the M28u in the box, haven't opened it yet. Things I have noticed with the other two monitors.... The LGgp83 has a great picture, feels fast and I like the colors. The G70a renders more of the map with better long range detail in Warzone and the contrast/black equalizer is better, allowing you to see slightly more in the trees and bushes. Further analysis from you on the spongy/more input lag over HDMI 2.1 with controller would be appreciated. Thank you!
wow. Yeah those are some great monitors for sure. Definitely well worth the investment to find the right one. I will be fair and say that I haven't really tested the other monitors with K&M/Controller like I did the Samsung. But it was also the first that I tested out hdmi 2.1 gameplay on a graphics card.
If I had to explain the HDMI 2.1 delay, it is exactly that. I noticed a massive uptick in input lag and overall response of the key/button presses through display port. The low input lag was on, it was on a PC, yet as soon as I switched from HDMI to Display Port it was a noticeable difference in response time.

Agreed. I do want to test some of the more expensive 4k monitor to see what improvements they may have, but overall I'm extremely happy with the G70A.
Hi! Great review! I just purchased this monitor and wanted to know if you would suggest using HDMI 2.1 or DP from PC for a better overall experience. Thanks!
HDMI 2.1 was not bad, but honestly DP performed better overall and I feel more confident in it at this point. Hopefully one day it will be one cable to rule them all!!! (HDMI).

Can’t speak of the Acer, but I currently have this monitor and I must say that it is pretty awesome. Colors are great and contrast is really good for being an ips panel.

Hey thanks for the question and support! Glad the video helped. From what I understand, the Samsung website is just outdated. You have the latest release, they just haven't rolled it out to the masses yet. You should be good, but feel free to check back to their website in a month or so.
@@BainCustom Makes sense, appreciate the confirmation. Just using it with my Xbox Series X and for productivity when working from home, impressed so far, but look forward to your upcoming Xbox specific video on this monitor, as I think I need to tweak the settings to get best performance and more of the pop you talk about.

Do I need to update my firmware even if my Xbox series x works fine so far? It’s 1002 but the newest one is 1004.0? Also should I run AV or PC mode? I’m honestly confused with all the mixed reviews.
Yeah I've seen certain people complain about connectivity with the xbox. I personally have had zero issue with that, but I did update the firmware immediately. I would at least recommend doing that. I have been running my Xbox in PC mode lately. It seems to have a bit more compatibility with monitors rather than tvs. At least on the gaming side of things.

My pick is definitely the Samsung. I like Acer, but it didn't have the same motion performance I came to love about the Samsung/
@@BainCustom thanks very much.
Can you post all your monitor settings you have with the contrast and all that stuff
It is. Check the pinned post or check the video description. It is in either one or both of those locations.
I am stuck between this monitor and the lggp950, although at the moment samsung website has it at £499 and the LG is currently £699 is there much of a difference for the series x?
Go for the Samsung. The LG may have a slight lead over it, but for xbox is not really worth the extra $200 imo.
Managed to snatch this at around $500 under their samsung promotion campaign. Not sure why theyre so cheap but i did read they are coming up with newer g-sync 4k 144 refresh models this year. Anyways, alot of monitor reviews fail to showcase the PIP feature. Does the PIP works in HDMI+ DISPLAYPORT? MY old 4k monitor have to have 2 spurces connected via HDMI for PIP mode to work, not 1DP and the another HDMI. What about the g70a? Would love to know this. Thanks.(FYI im traveling and have called samsung to deliver this in feb instead. I bought the g70a as $500 brand new was a bargain i couldnt let go. I have to know this because i have the LG GN950-B in mind too and may return it for GN950.)
Don't get me wrong I love LG's monitors. But the G70A is a new model compared to the GN lineup of lg, making me lean toward the Samsung.
So I haven't used the PIP on this monitor, but I have used it with Samsung in general on their ultrawide monitors. I had zero issues with it whatsoever. I did a side-by-side of 1920x1080 and it worked perfectly.
500 dollars??? How’d you get it so cheap. The current promotion is listed at 700 for me.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the odyssey g70a 28inch LS28BG700EPXEN and the odyssey g70b 28inch LS28BG702EPXEN ?
The g70a is bit older but the g70b is cheaper?

@@BainCustom nice bro !
I bought the Samsung odyssey g7a before one month, is the best monitor i ever have! I have one problem, when i turn On my Pc, monitor don't open without to push the power button under the monitor.
Is this normal? In settings i have sandby mode & auto switch on, why don't open automatically??
It could be the auto-detect setting. Maybe try to write down your current settings and calibration and then reset the monitor to factory defaults. Then you can re-calibrate those settings after. That should jog the power issue.
You’re getting screen tearing because it’s not G sync ultimate so when you enable HDR you lose G sync
HDR does not actively disable gsync. There may be some circumstances where HDR will cause frame drops and lack of Gsync, but I have actively tested this while using Gsync and not had issues. But I think it was an issue years ago.
Looking at this video, I'm searching my box and apparently my monitor didn't come with the USB for the update.
It doesn't. You have to create a thumb drive to update the monitor. There are full instructions on the samsung website.
Quick question does this beat the Sony m9 all around if that makes sense which one do you prefer for fps gaming
I have read mixed reviews on the Sony. I may still snag one just to test. But I would lean toward the Samsung, until I get my hands on the sony.
Hello I wanted to get the Lg C1 or this monitor but I hear lots of problems for Xbox series x gaming. Can you please let us know when you will be uploading a video regarding Xbox series d console gaming Im very interested but don’t want to make a buy unless I don’t have someone legit like yourself to test this on console. I have the series x and am dying to figure out a monitor/ tv to play on. Don’t have a budget so anything helps!
I'll be working on that video very soon. Definitely hit the notification bell on the home page so you see when it drops.
That being said, I didn't have any issues testing out the series s with this monitor. The series x I haven't tested yet. But you can't go wrong with either the C1 or this. Just keep in mind that the C1, as good as it is, is not a gaming monitor. So it will not give the same feel and calibration that a good gaming monitor will.
Just got one of these and while it is excellent for gaming, I'm struggling to get the settings just right to use it for work as a second screen for my MacBook Pro. Any recommendations? It's the whites that are off mainly
Awesome video I bought the monitor. Question how do I do the update for firmware or even where do I find it?
The firmware is on the support the support page from Samsung. You have to use a USB drive and it has to go into the service usb port on the back of the monitor. You then can update straight from the monitor osd.
Any chance you can take a look at the uodated "B" version?
Not worth it bro
