hi dude . amazing comparison video . it was really helpful for me . After watching this video I decided to stay in my g7 because its really amazing VA monitor . thanks again
When it comes to both technologies, as they grow further, it is really hard to tell them apart, especially in a well lit environment, and when you are playing games that doesn't have much dark scenes. The only thing that may differentiate them is viewing angles.
@@DisplayReality first off great video and very informative as well. So am on the market for a new monitor and looking for some insight on them and maybe a preference. 32" Odyssey Neo G7 4K UHD 165Hz 1ms Quantum HDR2000 Curved Gaming Monitor or 32" Odyssey G65B QHD 240Hz 1ms HDR600 Gaming Hub 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor and lastly, 32" Odyssey G85NB UHD 240Hz Quantum Mini-LED Curved Gaming Monitor. This last monitor is more expensive but depends on your recommendations can fit in the budget. Thanks again.
I had a few monitors since 2020, I changed it so many times to get the "perfect" screen, now I'm with the g7 32", and I havent found it yet. I choosed the 32" because its curve, for me 27" is the seeet spot for gaming, in all this monitors I had the gigabyte M27Q was the best price/quality racio, I didnt keep it because all the 3 panels came with dead/stuck pixel and terrible backlight bleed, but the monitor itself by 279 euros was a steal. The others, an AOC tn panel, awfull collors, then I bought the aoc 24g2u, wich was great, but his size was too small for me, the next one was the acer nitro xq252 240 hz tn, great response time, but the transistion to 240 hz was not so relevante like when I did it to the 144hz, so I decided to go with the 1440p, that was when I get the m27q asewome monitor for the price, the control quality was not the best, so it came with with dead pixels and a lot of backlight bleed, so I get the G7 32" its a great panel, great response time, good color gamut, it feels premium, a lot of features, great contrast, hdr is not bad as many panels, but the size I think is too big for me, and the 1000r is too curve for my taste, so after trying all this panels I decided my sweet spot is a 27" flat ips panel 1440p with response times bettween the 170hz and 240hz, or wating to qd oled came to the market.
thats right because when you scale a 1440p monitor to a 32" the resolution will be the same like a 1080p 24" monitor, you are just making it basically 1080p 32" monitor with the name 1440p 32", it is like false advertisement
I ordered a G7 to give it a shot, I work and game in a mostly dark room so IPS glow and backlight bleed are very irritating especially when I watch movies or play dark scened games like Inscryption. The Alienware AW2721D I currently have spoils me with its bright panel and awesome colors, but I'm willing to sacrifice some of the colors/brightness for better contrast and uniformity at this point.
Hey.... honestly Review after review I still see the AW2721D full screen Brightness as the best on the market. I love brightness and if I dont hear Alienware make a successor I will end up buying one. LoL.. late to the party but in a room with alot of rgb (my new room) Brightness will come in handy. Tho they might reveal something soon as they are revealing new desktops and they say they have more surprise reveals for the anniversary...
@@DisplayReality It's absolutely the SDR brightness king and if you can get a panel with good black uniformity and minimal glow/bleed, you have it made. I had to go through four exchanges before I got one that I thought was perfect... and about a month in a couple of spots I didn't notice before became apparent haha. If you love brightness and AW doesn't make a successor to that model, it's a must have. If I end up keeping the Samsung, I'll be letting go of the AW. If you happened to want it, let me know. I'd sell it to you for far cheaper than MSRP. 😃
Also I got my G7 in yesterday and calibrated it overnight with a colorimeter, it's absolutely amazing. Even though the colors are less saturated and viewing angles aren't as good, the incredible contrast ratio and depth more than make up for it. It's an incredible experience. I gave the System Shock Remake demo a try also and it showcased that VA power wonderfully. I still love monitors with LG Nano IPS panels especially for their viewing angles and amazing colors, but Samsung restored my faith in VA panels with the G7.
@@pk.002 I’m glad you are happy with your latest purchase. But can you help me out? I’ve been comparing AW2521HFL 24.5 1080p vs Samsung Odyssey G7 1440p since both of them are inside my budget range. I just want a better color accuracy and good brightness, the only reason on why am i having a hard time to choose between these two because of the panels alone.

Just an update so far so good and it doesn't break the bank, having an enjoyable time on cod no more hiding in dark corners we see everything hehe , yeah not bad at all.
Was taken back a bit by the brightness it's crystal clear compared to my old 1080p pile of junk lol not tried it in the dark yet I don't really game in the dark I'm right by the window which has no effect on the screen, really worth it if you're not wanting to really spend a lot, glad I watched this video many thanks.
I didn't know how to get to the settings I don't read the the instructions lol does anyone? Fast faster and fastest holy hell it can handle 300fps no problems this is a bargain monitor and it's good, highly recommended now I've started to mess with it 😀
High quality video👍 G7 is more colorful more than LG panel，both looks great but G7 have deep black range, 32GP850 is cheaper and flat ips panel. If you usually watch movie, video games, rich, pick G7, but if you want cheaper, flat panel, some graphics design, pick LG.
@@DisplayReality agree,if i have enough budget i will pick g7 too, only problem i care about curved screen is very easy to crack. btw, awesome video! look forward to watching more content.
i think the biggest diff between then is the curved vs flat.. thats the only reason im going for the LG and not the Samsung.. iv played in flat for years and the first time i tryed fps on curved it feels very weird
Yea I know what you mean. My only Curved panel is the 32" G7. I won't go that deep in Curve of 1000r unless a new version of curved G7 is mini led or 4k hdr600. I prefer a flatter screen but I'll put up with it if it ever releases like that..
Great video one more time. What brightness level you have in G7? ¿20? I bought G7 3 weeks ago and i love it. The contrast is fantastic. Halo Infinite looks in 4K amazing ;) Thx.
I always keep my brightness on all monitors at 100%🤣 but contrast can vary between 50-75 on different monitors as I just eye it fixing with white clipping like on clouds in game or text.
Both are insane monitors doens't matter witch one you choose they both winI have the g7 I sold my lg because I can't stand the glow and not having black in my screen while watching films or scary games you don't realise how bad the blacks are in an ips panel until you try it but the g7 has no problems at all for me no ghosting no shadowing insane response time perfect image with his contrast and blacks is just perfect a good VA panel always wins a good ips panel but a bad ips panel wins a bad VA panel if you go for end price monitors go for VA if u go for cheap monitors ind the chepest ips then a cheap VA is crap ghosting and shadowing and other shity stuff throw the roof
@@DisplayReality the monitors with the 240 hz was based on my pc build am currently building. I know the ps5 does not accommodate this but checking off both system pc and ps5. But if the 165hz will work with the pc then I’d go forth with that as well.
In the LG I see that the images load a little faster and a little more fluidly, I don't know, and in the Samsung I see the HDR better, the game looks clearer
I either keep on cinema preset or User with black equalizer 8 to 10. 100 brightness (for sdr and hdr) contrast at 80, Color 50 all 3, 60 sharpness (67 maybe as I change alot) Local Dimming On. Advanced contrast off.
If only the G7 didn't have the crazy 1000R curvature... 1000R on a 27"/32" 16:9 panel is almost a bad taste joke to me. They already had the best VA panel out there and the only one without black smearing. Why curve it and make it a niche product instead of making it flat (or at least with a lesser curvature) and sell it like crazy? It would be THE monitor to beat if not for the damn curve.
I thought the same, a flat G7 would be a no brainer for me. In my opinion, the main reason why Samsung went curve on the g7, is reasoned with the viewing angles on the VA panel.
It is a monitor for gaming. That's the reason why it's so curved. Sensation of immersion. There are a few videos that explain the benefits during game sessions.
Nice video if money wasnt factor i probably go for g7 , right now i got a g5 and i enjoy it but want give try to lg, my old g5 my wife gonna get it, also i got the lg gp850-b for 399 whole 100 cheaper and 158 cheaper than the g7 so yeah was a no brainer ill get it today ill update how it compares to cheaper version g5
As far as I understand, is Samsung better among these two models? I don't know which monitor to take, help me with the choice, but only 27 inches are interested
Samsung is a bit better but the 1000r curve at 27" might be too strong unless you like it. Check out the new G7 28" flat screen IPS.. video today... that may be better for you...
@@DisplayReality I agree, the 1000r curve is very embarrassing, so I look at lg and I'm interested in you, you tested these monitors, your opinion is interesting! You've already looked at the new Samsung for 28, it's quite interesting and will not shine strong and it seems that the color rendering is good, depending on how much it costs us, otherwise the prices are in trouble!
Hey 👋🏼 good video! Between the LG 32GP850 and the Samsung Odyssey G5 (S32AG504) flat, which one is the best for you? Because I took some days ago the LG, but after 24h the panel is dead, only black screen with no signal 😔 so now I'm a bit distrustful for LG.
Can you review the lg 32Gn650? I’m looking for reviews and almost no one has any information or gameplay on it. Its also a VA panel so I’m curious how good it is
This is not correct argument or comparison at all. But everybody seems to copy same idea in VA vs ISP, i think they just watch each other videos and then repeat it. The case is: you don't know how the artist or developer made it. Does he want you to see more detail or not. If there is dark room and small light, in VA panel you see whole room details, while with IPS panel, the room detail is not so clear, which might be correct version! If developers wanted, they could easily added luminosity scale or shader, to fix this. Another thing, some monitor like GP850 has option: Black Stabilizer. If you enable that, you could easily see more or less details. You can't claim this is better, more details, original, right etc. To finish this off, some 2k expensive drawing tablets, are IPS tablets with contrast 1:1000, so yeah..... If you see more contrast, for example in that anime image, it might be the incorrect version with VA panel! You see what artist does not want you to see! So reality is something else, what ppl claim it to be!
Your eyes should decide what is to be seen per scene. Which One is better to the eye. One looks deeper more enjoyable then the other etc. Everyone has a preference. I respect everyone's opinion but everyone has a different take on it. I show in video proof and opinion the differences.. everyone that cannot see that is baised towards a type of display as I that over and over it never ends...
i bought the gp850 and yes its a beautiful monitor but i couldn't take the back light bleed smh the bottom left corner was so bright i couldn't look passed it so i returned it now looking at the g7 but idk yet!
Great content...just discovered this channel and am trying to research which monitor to buy for preferably no more than $250 if possible. I'd like a panel w/as fast a refresh as possible but I think I read or heard somewhere that 240Hz does 4:2:0 color while 144Hz has the more complete 4:4:4 if I understand correctly. This may be true irregardless if using display port or HDMI 2/2.1 iirc. I do believe display port is better if I want to take advantage of Freesync 2 (aka Freesync Premium Pro). I don't know if Freesync has any downsides, but it seems that it doesn't afaik, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I remember reading somewhere that Freesycnc takes some stress off the GPU and CPU and makes it so you can turn off screen tearing to further minimize PC resources. I hope that is true. I have heard that anything beyond 240HZ is too expensive and comparatively nets diminishing returns when going from 144Hz to 240Hz in terms of response /input lag. My GPU is an RX 570 8GB. I'd like as fast as possible response (Street Fighter 5) but not at the expense of a greyer, more washed out image due to less color information if that is what occurs when using 240HZ over 144Hz. Input lag is extremely important as well. I don't need a large panel and it seems like 22" are no longer sold or few if so, so it looks like the new minimum size is mostly 24" if I'm correct. I'm leaning towards VA b/c I hate playing older retro games and noticing that the black screens (like Sonic the Hedgehog stage transitions) look grey instead of black like they should. I want as close to true black as possible and I don't need the brightest colors, even though I do love vivid colors. I have noticed on a certain games like SF5 that the backgrounds distract too much, and I think that was a poor design choice from Capcom, but I don't know if any panel could overcome that weakness. I guess Capcom should, or could have darkened or blurred the backgrounds a tiny amount to make them less distracting for one to be able to better concentrate on the characters. This is a primary reason I play training stage while playing ranked. I understand most VA panels are curved, but I'd prefer a flat one for non-gaming scenarios. I'm hoping AMD FSR will allow me to improve the visuals of SF5 b/c my PC isn't new and not ideal at running this game even though I use gigabit ethernet hardwired. I know less about OLED/QLED (quatum dot I guess)/micro LED except that they are newer and probably much more expensive until perhaps another year or two. I'd like to minimize ghosting as well but is not as important as the above mentioned features and is probably not a big deal on these more modern displays I hope. Any monitor suggestions are appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.
For the price you say... the BenQ EX2510s/EX2710s is very good. The speed is fast at 165hz. While the non s versions are 144hz. Colorful bright ips and super fast. It beats most all VA displays that I have tested. And even better than alot of IPS. Check then out.. I do have a Playlist on the 25". The next step up over this would be 350 on the s2721dgf or Odyssey G50A. Super bright lg ips panels.
@@DisplayReality You seemed really enthused about VA in this video. Have the tables turned recently where the IPS are now getting as good or better contrast/dark blacks as VA's did since this video? Avoiding or minimizing gray, washed out colors is probably my main feature request for a new display. I will check out more of your videos starting w/your mentioned playlist (so I guess 25" is now bare minimum). Thanks for the model info I'll look into as well. I like the Sony 4K tv line and I wish they would make PC displays :)
@@linuxlover_8436 hi again. I remembered your comment. I'll make a video soon but Samsung just made a Odyssey G4 monitor. It's 25 and 27inchs and will have a black equalizer built in like the more premium models so im sure contrast levels should be improved. I just wanted to let you know. Stay safe friend...
@@DisplayReality ok thanks. Do you have a link? I couldn't find it on Amazon as yet. Also so you know if samsung pc monitors utilize a blue hue like I've noticed their hdtv's have for a long time? I prefer a more natural hue scheme and went with a Sony 4k tv a couple of years ago due to this.
Hi... I have it on custom preset. Black equalizer at 11 or 12 and 100% brightness. Local dimming on (for brighter sdr highlights but its up to u) hdr off. Advanced contrast option off. VRR OPTION ON. That's about it..
The G7 is really a great monitor. The performance of the this screen is really really great. To bad that it has so many issus. I had it for a month, and suddenly started to turn off by it self.. like sometimes i could not get it to turn on even… and yes i did update to the latest. I had to return the g7 today. I did chose the GP850. But yeah the g7 is great but only when it works.
Seems not my case, I own it for a month & no issue at all, Samsung already updated the firmware before delivering it to me, at first the curve of 1000R made me feel uncomfortable, but 2 weeks later my eyes really get used to it. Believe me once you get used to the 1000R curve, it would be really great experience much better than flat one.
Both are great. 34" is very good and ultra wide so basically the screen tech is the same as the LG32gp850 just ultrawide. You may get more glow since its Ultra Wide but you should be fine. Ips vs VA again is the question...
Beside the size of 3 inch difference. The LG would be brighter in sdr and hdr while response times being equal to the eye. Maybe that 3 inchs would make a big difference on your desk. Seems to future proof you on size for a little more. 32" seems to be better for 4k display now days. My next 4k monitor besides the new g7 28" will be 32" going forward. Just because I like the size difference. In the next wk or so I will Vs a 28" vs 32" so you can see... thx
on tbe G7 cinema preset sometimes is too strong. i would say user with an 10 or 11 bequalizer for a more balanced look. but if you need more just add another step
I think the G7 Is Always a Tad brighter, thats why the Highlights in the dark come Out better than From the IPS. I think VAs are Generally brighter compared to an IPS tho.
Th GP850 is better than the G5 but vs the G50A/G52A etc its tied... the GP850 is LG Nano but the G50A etc is an LG Display (I can't find Nano marketing) I love the G50A at 299 (super sales). But basically equal on your question. But the reg G5 is a VA panel and a mid/lower tier at that. On the GP850 and G50A+ there is no smear or trail at all...
Yo wassup man u might know the answer to this but do u know if the lg27950b or any Lg monitors at all have automatic input switch? For example if i turn on the monitor and then turn on the ps5 how do i get it to automatically switch to the input that is turned on. Like to detect it? Its annoying to be having to switch inputs thru the menu from my xbox to my ps5. I have read some monitors have it and some dont. Just curious if u would know anything about that. Thanks in advance.
I will try to acquire it friend thx... that new G5 has an LG Nano IPS Panel. As long as we see 4k signal acceptance it's a buy... especially if you can find it on sale under 450...
If you really can wait. We will be getting more sizes and even more mini led monitors more affordable next yr march... even a mini led lg27gp950 version. But at around 1800. Summer 22"
I have seen other LG 32GP850 panels worse so it really depends on panel lottery for any monitor. Mine is great thankfully. But the degree of glow is normal bit how much can or does the monitor have varies.
It's equal friend. Meaning you can adjust on the monitor or Nvidia control panel. I prefer the G7s contrast so adding a small bit more color is ok. On any other preset than User (custom more toned look) it looks great. G7s Black equalizer destroys any IPS panel . Settingsbit to cinema is crazy strong. Tho just to note rtings says some panels have a 2500:1 while there's is 3900:1 to it varys even by G7 panels. Mine easily is 3900:1 like rtings while others reviewers show lower contrast and not as punchy.. weird how that is...
@@DisplayReality I noticed how with dimming on the contrast is much better on my g7, with it off its contrast is not as good. I just wish they never did the curve so it was more mainstream. During my multiple play through and work sessions on it can really make my brain distort other flat panels after a long session on g7. As well as give me weird sensations like something is wrong. But anyways yeah g7 is a beast other than that and then some.
@@DisplayReality have you also noticed how sometimes how strong local dimming is, sometimes too strong that it hurts the eyes, when the image is not as bright then out of nowhere a bright image pops up, and almost close to 600 nits brightness get shown at you like a flashlight at night makes me hurt my eyes. The games looks much better with local dimming on for immersion but that's another reason why I can't play too long on g7. Again it's a beautiful monitor just wish they didn't cut corners on local dimming and put more than 8 local dimming spots.
@@diocub4022 yea they need way more than 7. Also the curve sometimes messes with me too. Lol... I know what you mean but when you side by side it. The Contrast takes over...
😂no worries friend. Both are great. Tho I like the G7 due to the real depth. It would be a upgrade vs your TN. I can easily see the differences over my TN BenQ xl2720z.
@@DisplayReality thank you! I was thinking about to wait a little and buy the new neo g7, but samsung only realese it with 32" + 4k resolution. I started to build a gaming setup with focus in 2k resolution, so i think i just go buy the old version. your vids help me to decid it, so thanks a lot.
The reason i went for LG just bcause i do play competitive gaming. My friend bought g7, tried for a week. Cant stand the ghosting appear especially in quick pace gaming. But color contrast g7 re much better if put aside. Both are great monitor & great value for it price
If you want best clarity get tn panel. I had asus xg258q, they were no backlight bleed or ips glow. The color looks amazing as well. Only downside for me is still fhd so i opted for asus oled as i could not find tn at this resolution. This lg series is a faik product the amount of glow is unnaceptable.
@@DisplayReality yes; found out that G7 goes max to 100w while LG 60w...holding my horses to buy the G7 Would be great to see average usage too, like while consuming media browsing, etc :) thanks in adv ✌
On Xbox enable pcrgb or ps4/5 enable hdmi full. On PC you can add +47 brightness,, +55 contrast, + 55 d. Vibrance on IPS panels. For VA it depends as the G7 has a strong black equalizer...
would you ever buy a Huawei or xiami ultrawide monitors? Both are VA but im afraid of trying a VA panel after using only ips for years and the bad talk about va's in general.. im looking towards this one too iiyama GB3461WQSU-B1
I usually buy from Amazon or Best Buy as there the only ones by where I live. Xiaomi looks cool as I have seen reviews. Have you looked into the gigabyte m32wq it's still ips or did you want VA now.
Rtings shows 3900+... Sometimes certain monitors exceed the standard specifications. Samsung, Gigabyte etc... bit there are 2 types of G7s. One that is 2500 and on that can hit 3900. Mine is the 3900..
VA is always better than IPS when comes to colours... I don't know why losers buy TN or IPS.. VAS are 1MS these days with 144HZ+ and can come in 32inch+ forms.
I do like VA more than IPS but that is just preference as both have strengths and weaknesses. I hope they continue to develop VA to get better and faster.
I got the LG for $300 less than the G7, so it was a no-brainer.
same
Too bad the Samsung has such an agressive curve. Made me choose the LG.
I do wish the G7 was 1800r. I think that's perfect. But flat screens now look a small bit larger than 1000r curve monitors at the same inch size.

I didn't know how to get to the settings I don't read the the instructions lol does anyone? Fast faster and fastest holy hell it can handle 300fps no problems this is a bargain monitor and it's good, highly recommended now I've started to mess with it 😀
I just got the g7 for 200€ completly new With warranty in Caseking Outlet in Berlin it is the Best Monitor i got jet with 240hz
High quality video👍 G7 is more colorful more than LG panel，both looks great but G7 have deep black range, 32GP850 is cheaper and flat ips panel. If you usually watch movie, video games, rich, pick G7, but if you want cheaper, flat panel, some graphics design, pick LG.
Thx friend... The G7 picture depth does stand out vs any ips monitor that I have. It makes it more immersive and better...
@@DisplayReality agree,if i have enough budget i will pick g7 too, only problem i care about curved screen is very easy to crack. btw, awesome video! look forward to watching more content.
i think the biggest diff between then is the curved vs flat.. thats the only reason im going for the LG and not the Samsung.. iv played in flat for years and the first time i tryed fps on curved it feels very weird
Yea I know what you mean. My only Curved panel is the 32" G7. I won't go that deep in Curve of 1000r unless a new version of curved G7 is mini led or 4k hdr600. I prefer a flatter screen but I'll put up with it if it ever releases like that..
Great video one more time. What brightness level you have in G7? ¿20?
I bought G7 3 weeks ago and i love it. The contrast is fantastic. Halo Infinite looks in 4K amazing ;)
Thx.
I always keep my brightness on all monitors at 100%🤣 but contrast can vary between 50-75 on different monitors as I just eye it fixing with white clipping like on clouds in game or text.
@@tazboy1934 Yeah. El G7 VA.
@@DisplayReality Thx ;) I keep in 20-25. Probably i will try in 50 or 70. I think 100 is too much.
This why i want G7 i play games like Genshin and watch anime and those colors are just better
Both are insane monitors doens't matter witch one you choose they both winI have the g7 I sold my lg because I can't stand the glow and not having black in my screen while watching films or scary games you don't realise how bad the blacks are in an ips panel until you try it but the g7 has no problems at all for me no ghosting no shadowing insane response time perfect image with his contrast and blacks is just perfect a good VA panel always wins a good ips panel but a bad ips panel wins a bad VA panel if you go for end price monitors go for VA if u go for cheap monitors ind the chepest ips then a cheap VA is crap ghosting and shadowing and other shity stuff throw the roof
I don’t need a curve monitor, so g7 is not for me.
Moreover, I got the 32GP83B for $ 260.
thats an amazing price for sure!! you got a very good deal!! happy holidays!!
@@DisplayReality the monitors with the 240 hz was based on my pc build am currently building. I know the ps5 does not accommodate this but checking off both system pc and ps5. But if the 165hz will work with the pc then I’d go forth with that as well.
The g7 would win if it wasn’t for the ridiculous curve. It completely ruins the monitor
In the LG I see that the images load a little faster and a little more fluidly, I don't know, and in the Samsung I see the HDR better, the game looks clearer
hello,sorry i now that question is very repetitive but,what is your settings in the g7 right now?please.thanks
I either keep on cinema preset or User with black equalizer 8 to 10. 100 brightness (for sdr and hdr) contrast at 80, Color 50 all 3, 60 sharpness (67 maybe as I change alot) Local Dimming On. Advanced contrast off.
@@DisplayReality thank u men.And another question.Do you know if local dimming affects responsive time or input lag?
If only the G7 didn't have the crazy 1000R curvature...
1000R on a 27"/32" 16:9 panel is almost a bad taste joke to me.
They already had the best VA panel out there and the only one without black smearing. Why curve it and make it a niche product instead of making it flat (or at least with a lesser curvature) and sell it like crazy?
It would be THE monitor to beat if not for the damn curve.
I agree. If it were flat it would be the best. I wish they still would make a flat version...
For me after 2 weeks, my eyes got used to the curve, now I see 1000R curve is great for gaming & movie
I thought the same, a flat G7 would be a no brainer for me. In my opinion, the main reason why Samsung went curve on the g7, is reasoned with the viewing angles on the VA panel.
It is a monitor for gaming. That's the reason why it's so curved. Sensation of immersion. There are a few videos that explain the benefits during game sessions.
Almost 1800R its perfect!!!
Nice video if money wasnt factor i probably go for g7 , right now i got a g5 and i enjoy it but want give try to lg, my old g5 my wife gonna get it, also i got the lg gp850-b for 399 whole 100 cheaper and 158 cheaper than the g7 so yeah was a no brainer ill get it today ill update how it compares to cheaper version g5
As far as I understand, is Samsung better among these two models? I don't know which monitor to take, help me with the choice, but only 27 inches are interested
Samsung is a bit better but the 1000r curve at 27" might be too strong unless you like it. Check out the new G7 28" flat screen IPS.. video today... that may be better for you...
@@DisplayReality I agree, the 1000r curve is very embarrassing, so I look at lg and I'm interested in you, you tested these monitors, your opinion is interesting! You've already looked at the new Samsung for 28, it's quite interesting and will not shine strong and it seems that the color rendering is good, depending on how much it costs us, otherwise the prices are in trouble!
Hey 👋🏼 good video! Between the LG 32GP850 and the Samsung Odyssey G5 (S32AG504) flat, which one is the best for you? Because I took some days ago the LG, but after 24h the panel is dead, only black screen with no signal 😔 so now I'm a bit distrustful for LG.
Well, that samsung using LG panels and the port is very minimum(1Dp+1hdmi) compare to 32gp850 ..give LG second chance
Can you review the lg 32Gn650? I’m looking for reviews and almost no one has any information or gameplay on it. Its also a VA panel so I’m curious how good it is
See Black Stabiliser on the LG menu to adjust black saturation levels in dark scenes!
Thanks for sharing this info.
This is not correct argument or comparison at all. But everybody seems to copy same idea in VA vs ISP, i think they just watch each other videos and then repeat it.
The case is: you don't know how the artist or developer made it. Does he want you to see more detail or not. If there is dark room and small light, in VA panel you see whole room details, while with IPS panel, the room detail is not so clear, which might be correct version!
If developers wanted, they could easily added luminosity scale or shader, to fix this.
Another thing, some monitor like GP850 has option: Black Stabilizer. If you enable that, you could easily see more or less details. You can't claim this is better, more details, original, right etc.
To finish this off, some 2k expensive drawing tablets, are IPS tablets with contrast 1:1000, so yeah..... If you see more contrast, for example in that anime image, it might be the incorrect version with VA panel! You see what artist does not want you to see!
So reality is something else, what ppl claim it to be!
Your eyes should decide what is to be seen per scene. Which One is better to the eye. One looks deeper more enjoyable then the other etc. Everyone has a preference. I respect everyone's opinion but everyone has a different take on it. I show in video proof and opinion the differences.. everyone that cannot see that is baised towards a type of display as I that over and over it never ends...
Could you post your lg montior settings?
i bought the gp850 and yes its a beautiful monitor but i couldn't take the back light bleed smh the bottom left corner was so bright i couldn't look passed it so i returned it now looking at the g7 but idk yet!
which one is better, for gamers that prioritise the good graphic.. bro??
G7 has a deeper picture. The curve helpsnwith immersion.
Great content...just discovered this channel and am trying to research which monitor to buy for preferably no more than $250 if possible. I'd like a panel w/as fast a refresh as possible but I think I read or heard somewhere that 240Hz does 4:2:0 color while 144Hz has the more complete 4:4:4 if I understand correctly. This may be true irregardless if using display port or HDMI 2/2.1 iirc. I do believe display port is better if I want to take advantage of Freesync 2 (aka Freesync Premium Pro). I don't know if Freesync has any downsides, but it seems that it doesn't afaik, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I remember reading somewhere that Freesycnc takes some stress off the GPU and CPU and makes it so you can turn off screen tearing to further minimize PC resources. I hope that is true. I have heard that anything beyond 240HZ is too expensive and comparatively nets diminishing returns when going from 144Hz to 240Hz in terms of response /input lag. My GPU is an RX 570 8GB. I'd like as fast as possible response (Street Fighter 5) but not at the expense of a greyer, more washed out image due to less color information if that is what occurs when using 240HZ over 144Hz. Input lag is extremely important as well. I don't need a large panel and it seems like 22" are no longer sold or few if so, so it looks like the new minimum size is mostly 24" if I'm correct. I'm leaning towards VA b/c I hate playing older retro games and noticing that the black screens (like Sonic the Hedgehog stage transitions) look grey instead of black like they should. I want as close to true black as possible and I don't need the brightest colors, even though I do love vivid colors. I have noticed on a certain games like SF5 that the backgrounds distract too much, and I think that was a poor design choice from Capcom, but I don't know if any panel could overcome that weakness. I guess Capcom should, or could have darkened or blurred the backgrounds a tiny amount to make them less distracting for one to be able to better concentrate on the characters. This is a primary reason I play training stage while playing ranked. I understand most VA panels are curved, but I'd prefer a flat one for non-gaming scenarios. I'm hoping AMD FSR will allow me to improve the visuals of SF5 b/c my PC isn't new and not ideal at running this game even though I use gigabit ethernet hardwired. I know less about OLED/QLED (quatum dot I guess)/micro LED except that they are newer and probably much more expensive until perhaps another year or two. I'd like to minimize ghosting as well but is not as important as the above mentioned features and is probably not a big deal on these more modern displays I hope. Any monitor suggestions are appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.
For the price you say... the BenQ EX2510s/EX2710s is very good. The speed is fast at 165hz. While the non s versions are 144hz. Colorful bright ips and super fast. It beats most all VA displays that I have tested. And even better than alot of IPS. Check then out.. I do have a Playlist on the 25". The next step up over this would be 350 on the s2721dgf or Odyssey G50A. Super bright lg ips panels.
@@DisplayReality You seemed really enthused about VA in this video. Have the tables turned recently where the IPS are now getting as good or better contrast/dark blacks as VA's did since this video? Avoiding or minimizing gray, washed out colors is probably my main feature request for a new display. I will check out more of your videos starting w/your mentioned playlist (so I guess 25" is now bare minimum). Thanks for the model info I'll look into as well. I like the Sony 4K tv line and I wish they would make PC displays :)
@@linuxlover_8436 hi again. I remembered your comment. I'll make a video soon but Samsung just made a Odyssey G4 monitor. It's 25 and 27inchs and will have a black equalizer built in like the more premium models so im sure contrast levels should be improved. I just wanted to let you know. Stay safe friend...
@@DisplayReality ok thanks. Do you have a link? I couldn't find it on Amazon as yet. Also so you know if samsung pc monitors utilize a blue hue like I've noticed their hdtv's have for a long time? I prefer a more natural hue scheme and went with a Sony 4k tv a couple of years ago due to this.
@@linuxlover_8436 I meant they just announced them. Good IPS monitors. I'll cover them soon
I really wish the Samsung had better viewing angles.
Bro what is your settings on the g7? Please reply
Hi... I have it on custom preset. Black equalizer at 11 or 12 and 100% brightness. Local dimming on (for brighter sdr highlights but its up to u) hdr off. Advanced contrast option off. VRR OPTION ON. That's about it..
@@DisplayReality thanks man appreciate it. I watched your demonsouls preview on the g7 its amazing
Thanks that was what I looking for
2:30 ips glow is horrible on lg nano ips. Look at the four corner you'll notice the different in color.
The G7 is really a great monitor. The performance of the this screen is really really great. To bad that it has so many issus. I had it for a month, and suddenly started to turn off by it self.. like sometimes i could not get it to turn on even… and yes i did update to the latest. I had to return the g7 today. I did chose the GP850.
But yeah the g7 is great but only when it works.
Seems not my case, I own it for a month & no issue at all, Samsung already updated the firmware before delivering it to me, at first the curve of 1000R made me feel uncomfortable, but 2 weeks later my eyes really get used to it. Believe me once you get used to the 1000R curve, it would be really great experience much better than flat one.
how is your real experience with the gp850 im about to buy one, ty !
Hey @vick, what do you think of the lg 34gp83a-b vs the g7 32”? I’m going to get one soon.
Both are great. 34" is very good and ultra wide so basically the screen tech is the same as the LG32gp850 just ultrawide. You may get more glow since its Ultra Wide but you should be fine. Ips vs VA again is the question...
@@DisplayReality thx for the reply.
Hello, I would like to know who is the best between the lg 27gp950 and the aorus FI32u I can't choose thank you
Beside the size of 3 inch difference. The LG would be brighter in sdr and hdr while response times being equal to the eye. Maybe that 3 inchs would make a big difference on your desk. Seems to future proof you on size for a little more. 32" seems to be better for 4k display now days. My next 4k monitor besides the new g7 28" will be 32" going forward. Just because I like the size difference. In the next wk or so I will Vs a 28" vs 32" so you can see... thx
Is LG 4K compatable ? Also the new that just came out is 1300 that crazy , is it just about the same ?
I have both GN and GP 4k versions. While they are more expensive the 850s are 1440p versions...
Hy Viktor ! You will do a test the MSI MAG274QRF-QD vs G7 ? What the black eq settings the ? default picture settings on the g7 or custom preset?
on tbe G7 cinema preset sometimes is too strong. i would say user with an 10 or 11 bequalizer for a more balanced look. but if you need more just add another step
Do these monitors support auto input switching? It’s a must feature for me.
It has the option but I need to double check.
Hi, what do you think about the Samsung g7 27”? Is it worth it or should I just get the 32”? Thanks.
It honestly depends what kind of display size you want
Could you tell me the lg settings? =)
Basically Gamer1, 100% brightness 80 contrast, xbox pcrgb and ps5 hdmi full.
I think the G7 Is Always a Tad brighter, thats why the Highlights in the dark come Out better than From the IPS. I think VAs are Generally brighter compared to an IPS tho.
How do you think the GP850 compares to the Oddyssey G5?
Th GP850 is better than the G5 but vs the G50A/G52A etc its tied... the GP850 is LG Nano but the G50A etc is an LG Display (I can't find Nano marketing) I love the G50A at 299 (super sales). But basically equal on your question. But the reg G5 is a VA panel and a mid/lower tier at that. On the GP850 and G50A+ there is no smear or trail at all...
Yo wassup man u might know the answer to this but do u know if the lg27950b or any Lg monitors at all have automatic input switch? For example if i turn on the monitor and then turn on the ps5 how do i get it to automatically switch to the input that is turned on. Like to detect it? Its annoying to be having to switch inputs thru the menu from my xbox to my ps5. I have read some monitors have it and some dont. Just curious if u would know anything about that. Thanks in advance.
I will re connect soon and double check. I can make a video of this feature on all my monitors soon to compare. Thx...
Hi, can u do please samsung odyssey g5 new model IPS panell,to manny search for a review and no one does it …
I will try to acquire it friend thx... that new G5 has an LG Nano IPS Panel. As long as we see 4k signal acceptance it's a buy... especially if you can find it on sale under 450...
i thinking for lg gp950 b or samsung odessey g7 ? still cant decide which one will be better or wait for the upcoming monitors ?
If you really can wait. We will be getting more sizes and even more mini led monitors more affordable next yr march... even a mini led lg27gp950 version. But at around 1800. Summer 22"
@@DisplayReality
you think mini-led in future will be better?
Samsung qn90a & lg qned 99 disappointed me
Both of them really good, but contrast really something you can’t let go, I’m only afraid of ips glow and blacklight bleed, is it normal ?
I have seen other LG 32GP850 panels worse so it really depends on panel lottery for any monitor. Mine is great thankfully. But the degree of glow is normal bit how much can or does the monitor have varies.
Hello! The Xbox series X with the G7 it would be a good choice?
Yes for sure. 4k60hz and 1440p120hz. Tho there is a new G7 28" 4k120hz. It will be here next wk hopefully.
LG 27GP850-B is 2k 120hz in ps5 ?
No, any 2k monitor will not have 120hz on a ps5. You need a 4k monitor for 120hz on ps5.
Yes show us the difference as I watch on a 6-in screen or a s***** TN panel
😬
Will setting nvidia control panel vibrance color to 53% on Samsung g7, offset the LG32 version saturation color and are equal or is it oversaturated.
It's equal friend. Meaning you can adjust on the monitor or Nvidia control panel. I prefer the G7s contrast so adding a small bit more color is ok. On any other preset than User (custom more toned look) it looks great. G7s Black equalizer destroys any IPS panel . Settingsbit to cinema is crazy strong. Tho just to note rtings says some panels have a 2500:1 while there's is 3900:1 to it varys even by G7 panels. Mine easily is 3900:1 like rtings while others reviewers show lower contrast and not as punchy.. weird how that is...
@@DisplayReality I noticed how with dimming on the contrast is much better on my g7, with it off its contrast is not as good. I just wish they never did the curve so it was more mainstream. During my multiple play through and work sessions on it can really make my brain distort other flat panels after a long session on g7. As well as give me weird sensations like something is wrong. But anyways yeah g7 is a beast other than that and then some.
@@DisplayReality have you also noticed how sometimes how strong local dimming is, sometimes too strong that it hurts the eyes, when the image is not as bright then out of nowhere a bright image pops up, and almost close to 600 nits brightness get shown at you like a flashlight at night makes me hurt my eyes. The games looks much better with local dimming on for immersion but that's another reason why I can't play too long on g7. Again it's a beautiful monitor just wish they didn't cut corners on local dimming and put more than 8 local dimming spots.
@@diocub4022 yea they need way more than 7. Also the curve sometimes messes with me too. Lol... I know what you mean but when you side by side it. The Contrast takes over...
thanks my friend 💛
me watching this in a poor TN panel and trying to decide which looks best one to buy: 🤡
😂no worries friend. Both are great. Tho I like the G7 due to the real depth. It would be a upgrade vs your TN. I can easily see the differences over my TN BenQ xl2720z.
@@DisplayReality thank you! I was thinking about to wait a little and buy the new neo g7, but samsung only realese it with 32" + 4k resolution. I started to build a gaming setup with focus in 2k resolution, so i think i just go buy the old version. your vids help me to decid it, so thanks a lot.
The reason i went for LG just bcause i do play competitive gaming. My friend bought g7, tried for a week. Cant stand the ghosting appear especially in quick pace gaming. But color contrast g7 re much better if put aside. Both are great monitor & great value for it price
What lg model did u buy sir?
If you want best clarity get tn panel. I had asus xg258q, they were no backlight bleed or ips glow. The color looks amazing as well. Only downside for me is still fhd so i opted for asus oled as i could not find tn at this resolution. This lg series is a faik product the amount of glow is unnaceptable.
can you share the power usage of both on max if possible?
Like having it connected to a power watt meter while gaming?
@@DisplayReality yes; found out that G7 goes max to 100w while LG 60w...holding my horses to buy the G7
Would be great to see average usage too, like while consuming media browsing, etc :)
thanks in adv ✌
Nano ips 👍
이 영상 보고 g7 가기로 결정했습니다. 감사합니다.
멋진 형제여, 나는 당신이 g7을 좋아할 것이라고 확신합니다.
Which one do you prefer ?
G7... reason is the VA panel... everything else being about the same. I like the more deep contrast picture.
How do you get your monitors to look so 3d like you're literally looking into a different world? My monitors end up looking kinda flat :/
On Xbox enable pcrgb or ps4/5 enable hdmi full. On PC you can add +47 brightness,, +55 contrast, + 55 d. Vibrance on IPS panels. For VA it depends as the G7 has a strong black equalizer...
You can lose for sure one is 600$ and the LG is 350$. I don’t think any VA is worth 600$
Thats a great price for the LG! So clmuch competition now days it's tough to keep prices high like in this situation.
would you ever buy a Huawei or xiami ultrawide monitors?
Both are VA but im afraid of trying a VA panel after using only ips for years and the bad talk about va's in general..
im looking towards this one too
iiyama GB3461WQSU-B1
I usually buy from Amazon or Best Buy as there the only ones by where I live. Xiaomi looks cool as I have seen reviews. Have you looked into the gigabyte m32wq it's still ips or did you want VA now.
according to samsung web the contrast is 2,500:1
Rtings shows 3900+... Sometimes certain monitors exceed the standard specifications. Samsung, Gigabyte etc... bit there are 2 types of G7s. One that is 2500 and on that can hit 3900. Mine is the 3900..
Has the video done with xbox series x?
Цветопередача на g7 отвратительна. Желтит.
I returned my G7 just because of that stupid curve.
VA is always better than IPS when comes to colours... I don't know why losers buy TN or IPS.. VAS are 1MS these days with 144HZ+ and can come in 32inch+ forms.
I do like VA more than IPS but that is just preference as both have strengths and weaknesses. I hope they continue to develop VA to get better and faster.
Black smearing from va panels is a joke.
'losers' you sound like a spastic bro
