I’ve had the G7 32” now for 3 weeks, and thus far it’s been a great experience. The added contrast in comparison to my 32GP83B was immediately noticeable from the first time I turned it on. For me the higher contrast makes the image look sharper, because there is better detail in dark areas. With that said, IPS is still a great experience once you have your settings dialed in, and I don’t think you can go wrong with either one of these monitors.
I just got the new G50A which to me has a LG nano panel. The black equalizer is amazing on the G70A and G7. While on the G50A it's more like the black stabilizer on the LGs..
I can't deal with 1000:1 or less contrast ratios, I have a plasma TV from 2008 with (near) OLED blacks and looking at an IPS next to that is literally insufferable lol
I was in the market for a monitor for the PS5, I saw Vic's vids. I ended up buying the G7OA 4k 144hz display. I absolutely love it. I didn't even know what my options were till I seen these his videos. Thanks Vic!!!
I own both, the 32" is brighter, but if your not in a bright lit room, it's not an issue. The 4k looks better than 1440p for sure, the 4k is amazingly tighter edges on everything that the 1440p is....using a 5900x and 3080 my lower settings on 4k look better than the ultra settings on the 32" G7...I can adjust my 4k to give me max 144hz refresh rates and the lower settings still look amazing...and to be honest, the 32" is too big for gaming, you have to sit way back to not see the pixels and unsmooth edges that 1440p shows...if you want a high quality looking game I suggest the 4k...the 28" is a really nice size tbh....
I got a va g7 for 550, the price was tempting. Was disappointed by the curve, thinking to give it back. But after using it I now appreciate its image quality and smothness, the deep blacks and white dimming. It has a bit of backlighting, nothing serious but noticeble in space games. Despite this, on other games it is amazing
Love my G7. One gripe is the excessive dimming on certain content even with the local dimming turned off. I'm using it with my series X. I bought a gaming TV prior to the XBSX and thought it was amazing, but playing on this monitor has made me never want to go back to tv.
I love it also... I actually play better say on Destiny 2. It's just something that does envelope your field of view. It's different than other monitors.
Great video. I would have to agree with yah on choosing the G70A for console and the G7 for PC. To have the ability to take full advantage of next gen console gaming on the Xbox series X and PS5 with HDMI 2.1.
Yea... Good thing is with more hdmi 2.1 Monitors or tvs coming out more will experience the smoothness of higher hz. It's great for everyone... Happy Holidays...
I got the G7 as well and hands down it's my best monitor ever. I wouldn't like to have an IPS panel monitor again. Also, if we look at the Televisions, high-end ones have VA panels.
I just ordered the G70a . I mostly play shooters on the new xbox. I have an older Samsung 28 inch 4k 60 hz monitor . I bought the G5 32 " 165hz 1440 monitor and returned it due to the graphics were noticeably worse than my old 28 inch plus the curve and and the size (32)was too big for playing shooters. I like to be fairly close and the monitor was too big.
Sup man, amazing review! I just wanted to ask can you pleaseee tell me what's your setting's while you recorded this video for the G7 because honestly after seeing this review I instantly bought the G7, although I'm quite struggling on fixing the settings as same as what was displayed on this video for the G7!
I have it on custom. Black equalizer of 11 or 13. Gamma mode 2. Saturation 56, sharpness, 56, local dimming high/on. 100 brightness, contrast 80. Color tone default or warm. I keep local dimming on for everything even sdr. Thats how we can get nice peak highlights.
If I want to pick one for PC gaming what should it be. G70A is costing me 25% more than G7 32 inch. What will be better pick for purely PC gaming, watching movies and general purpose use.
G7 32" is better. Brighter, deeper contrast, true VA picture depth. 1440p120hz still looks great vs 4k120hz on Xbox. But PC 240hz is great...movies look very good. The curve you will get used to in a day or so...
Is the G7 32” still good to use on PS5? Is the HDR good on it as I’m getting it next week. Did they also fix the flickering issue and the g sync. Also does it downscale to 1080p if you turn on g sync on PS5?
Great vid man. I currently have a ps5 and went with the 27 gp950b but i keep seeing that the top monitors for ps5 are the one i have and the g70a 28in. Do u think i should have gone with the g70a or u cant go wrong with either buy? The g70a is also $200 cheaper then the lg 27950b right now.
Forgot to mention i dont use the HDR on the 27gp950b since it looks washed out to me compared to SDR. Is the g70a 28in the same since it doesnt have many local dimming zones?
HDR is better on the LG. Have you tried adjusting in game hdr settings. Also try hdmi full for the added contrast. Have you tried all hdr prestes? The LG has bad local dimming algorithm vs everyone else. But I would not say the g70a I better its just different. But at 899 there now will be alot of competition very soon. The 27u from hp omen looms great for 4k120hz albeit at hdr400 at 699. The LG is priced good for that added brightness. The BenQ ex3210u is 1099 and seems to be the same in features... but thats 32" so 200 more? You can't go wrong friend its more about brightness. The g70a is less washed than the lg but lower in brightness too.
I think this one is gonna do well for me on PC too. I do hate that it has worse 60hz performance than I feel it should. But overall doesn’t seem to be the biggest thing
Oh... I will update. But try cinema preset on the G7 to see how it looks but For consoles amd PC I use custom mode. Black equalizer at 11 to 13. Brightness 100, contrast 80, Sharpness 60. Local dimming on. The dynamic picture option (under local dimming) is off.
Look, IPS is great. But this guy is absolutely right, you will never understand what he means by the "3 dimensional" talking point unless you see it for yourself. Recently just got the g7, and wow does this thing make IPS look really washed out. The contrast will make you see games in an entirely new perspective. And the curve is not that aggressive. If you have the money, seriously, buy it... there is no ghosting or smearing or anything on this thing. I think it's safe to say there's finally a reason to buy a VA panel. There's a lot of talk about poor quality control so your experience might differ from mine. I got lucky in the panel lottery. Absolutely nothing wrong with mine. Btw I got the 27 inch.
Awesome on you panel lottery! I feel bad for many when they return because of bad QC. Because we know how great this monitor is. Even after seeing all these new Monitors I still would not sell or trade my G7 for any if them... thats how good it is..
@@DisplayReality It really does make games look more life like. I love the analogy you used tho, paper vs 3d. It's perfect cause it makes so much more sense when you see it in person. I appreciate your videos on the monitor. It's damn good.
I can't really find that many reviews on this monitor. How does this monitor compare to the more budget 4k monitors? For example, the VG289Q in terms of picture quality.
I have both a 27" G7 and the G70A. I'd take the G70A any day if you have a 3080 or greater. HDR on both monitors suck ass and isn't real so that isn't even worth bothering with. The IPS feels smoother and doesn't need VRR control which causes micro stutters and no pixel inversion problems. If you have a 3070Ti or lower get the G7. But if you have a 3080 (or planning to) get the G70A and then wait till micro led is cheaper in a few years time. Crisp and smooth and way better than 1440p at any refresh rate for me. I do miss the curve though, but my wife likes it now she has stolen my G7 lol. Both good monitors but the G7 annoyed me with its various flaws and back light bleed. Fortunately my G7A has no back light bleed and basically no IPS glow which shocked me and probably isn't common. PS the G7 isn't 95% DCI-P3, I struggle to see the point of this video when all you do is rip off other people who have reviewed these displays, you should have your own tests and data. I'm only sharing my opinion to help people and save them watching this Rtings copy pasta.
Really... copy and paste video?? LOL... anyway rtings is a reputable site so I post my videos and opinion so many can see that rtings is correct in brightness and so everyone can see what that means in real world terms.
Really struggling to make a decision between the 32" G7 VA vs the 28" G70A IPS to use with my PS5. I do usually like the curve and I play mainly Destiny 2. Any advice? I hear the downscaling on the G7 to accept 4k and display 1440p is fantastic, but would it downscaled to 1080p 120hz for pvp on Destiny? or am I better just going with the G70A?
They both can do 1080p120hz on ps4. The G7 would be brighter, and curved amd a bit better on contrast. That's about it. I would say get the 32" G7 on sale. Anything UNDER 659-699 is a real sale price.
Help!! I am struggling here! It's between the G7 27in Curved the G70a 28In and M32U for the Xbox series X and PS5. I play a lot of FPS games and looking for the very best experience. Are these still the top monitors or is there something even better to go after for xbox series x and PS5. Help my indecisive self!!!!
The Neo G8 will be the best this yr. June timeframe. But the M32U is very cheap 599 is the best price.. I say that because it does alot for your money. But I love my G7... even tho its 1440p it's the quality of the pixels that I like..
@@DisplayReality so I ended up getting the g70. I don't think I'm enjoying the colors. They appare a little to dark for me. So I'm sending it back. Question is which is better for my xbox series x overall. For either the m28u or the curve g7, 27in. How big of a difference are they between colors and performance? I hear great things about them both. If I get the g7 curve how future proof is that one compare to the m28u? I sincerely appreciate you and your content.
I had the 32'g7 for 2 years. But i was Never 100% happy with it. Because i had many micro stutters in Many Games and my fps was Over 220 fps in nearly every Game. So i deciced to Go to 4K because i dont wanna See pixels anymore and my 6900xt is in Most Games Strong enough to Go Over 100 fps. So bought the g70a and what can i say? The Micro stutters are complete gone and it runs butter smooth with just 144 hz. I love the colors and the black and NOW i know that i'm a ips type and Not an va type. But both are great, but After 2 years with the g7 i'm Now happy With my First 4K Monitor ❤
I'm surprised the pixel density didn't come up in the video (unless I missed it). Aliasing with 1440p at 32" is real and to me a deal breaker. 32", That's 4K territory in my mind.
Have you seen both side by side?. I mean... I think the G7s screen/pixel quality beats the G70As clarity advantage. It's super close but by Quality I mean by depth in the picture with fuller color plus VA natrual tech contrast might fool many into thinking it's the same. I like both... but my eyes tend to look at the G7 more when they are side by side because brightness and quality. More videos coming soon friend. I'll see if I can get some clarity demo's so we can see more tests.
Great video Viktor! I have an RTX 2080 (Non-Super or Ti). Is this enough to run the G70A until I upgrade my GPU and possibly PC late next year? Or should I go for a 1440P with 240 Hz? I know a lot of people say go with a 4K panel and drop the resolution. If I do that, will the overall quality of the picture diminish substantially? Some say it blurs it down a bit, but I have no way to test this with hardware and my eyes. Thanks!
With qhd You are reasonably locked to QHD or 720p, because it doesn't scale well with nothing else. With UHD You can have lossless scaling down 4:1 to FHD. QHD scaling to FHD will be lossy, and no UHD possibility. So You need to stick to QHD with QHD display. If You can play any game on Ultra with 1440p on Your GPU than there is no problem. But Your monitor will require replacement with Your next GPU for sure to see a difference.
I’m getting this monitor on Monday for my ps5 and series x mainly. I hope it’s not a pain to update the thing so I can get 4K 120 on ps5. Was on sale for Black Friday for 650!
I just bought it today on Best Buy for $650,I have to wait a few days for it to be delivered and of course everyone needs to update and here’s the UA-cam link on how to update ua-cam.com/video/y8DejSf32FE/v-deo.html
Nice sale price. Just make sure you have 1 or 2 usb sticks to try. Sometimes one won't work. Its weird as these monitors are picky. I had a 3.1 new Samsung usb and only a cheap 2.0 duracell usb worked. Lol.
@@DisplayReality yeah I grabbed a 3.0 and a 2.0 I keep updated on your vids on monitors I had to be safe 😂 Do you notice like more color pop on the 2021 G7? The main reason why I got rid of the M28U was the bandwidth on the HDMI 2.1 port being limited to 24 gigs. Do you notice it being more vibrant? And the local dimming on the M28U was awful another reason why i swapped.
Great Video again. Bought 3 G7 32 for sim racing. Had to return 1 because of an animal under panel... Epic monitor!! But i have no exp with monitor calibration... Need help there.
Man thatvwpukd be so cool. I just saw a yt video on a 3 way g7 Sim racing. That is so cool. I have it on user/custom. Black equalizer 11. Brightness 100, contrast 80, Gamma mode2, Local Dimming On. Dynamic contrast options Off.
If the G7 Neo comes out I’m getting it right away and returning my G70A. Luckily I have a 24 month return policy thanks to Best Buy total tech 2 out of return window return option.
Then for sure your covered. We Should hear alot more soon at ces 2022 in a few weeks as Samsung is going to have an Amazing yr in 2022. S22 Ultra, New Neo QLED Mini LED Tvs, New Odyssey Neo Monitors even the awesome Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablets... Our wallets will cry... 😂
Hi Viktor, I am really sensitive to input lag. Can you please give me your opinion regarding the difference in input lag between these two monitors? Is the difference really noticeable between the two or not enough to worry about? Thank you very much for the awesome content and for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great review 👍🏻. Sadly I find this monitor anywhere. I even contacted Samsung and they don't know where or when I can buy it. I guess I will go ahead and just buy the M27Q
Struggling a bit here and I’ve seen you helping so many in the comments so i thought id try and ask for some help. So I currently use the log cx 46 inch for all my ps5 games. I hope to build a pc soon in the next year or so but id like a smaller gaming monitor for more fps games for the ps5 bc the tv just doesn’t do it for me those types of games. I’ve been lookin at these 2 as the best options but I know the g70 is out of stock at the moment at a great price but the regular g7 is on sale for under $600. Which would you choose as an opinion? Any other options I should look at? Thanks so much
Hi... the G7 is better overall for PC. The quality of the screen (if you get a great panel) is better to me. It's brighter in sdr and hdr would be better but only by a little as it only has 8 zones. Both right now are 579 and 599 on Prime Day dales. So try no to pay more than that ps5 works great at 4k60hz. I will have more vs videos showing both. If you need more ps5 gameplay just let me know friend... I'll try soon..
@@DisplayReality thanks so much for the reply and the help! So what’s the deal with games that you’d like to run at 120hz? You have to run it at 1080p or can you have it run at 1440p? Is that where the issues with input lag come in?
@@runofthemillz oh sorry.. I meant reg G7. On the G70A it is 4k120hz. It is hdmi 2.1 on the G70A. But if you are seeing 120hz on the reg G7 it is at 1080p120hz on ps5.
Hi Viktor, I recently own a ps5. I have a LG27UK650W for a couple of years which I bought because (of my already sold) ps4pro. The PS5 looks in my opinion great on the Lg. Will the 70a be a big upgrade compared to the monitor I already got? Whats you opinion?
The New G65B looks the exact same as the OG G7 with some smart features and speakers. If the price would be almost the same which one would you buy for a 6900XT GPU / 5600x CPU? For the note I aslo have an older 4K 60Hz 43" TV so consider that as well. - 28" 4k 144Hz G70A for ~558$ - 27" 2k 240Hz G65B for ~540$ - 32" 2k 240 Hz G65B for ~637$ (OG G7 costs the same as G65B)
@Viktors Reality Best HDMI 2.1 Gaming Monitor available right now as far as INPUT LAG & RESPONSE TIME basically performance in your opinion? I've heard the best is the LG 27GP950 but i would like to know you're opinion.
can you please tell me if you can get nvidia DLDSR working with the G70A monitor ?? thanks you as I have just purchased this monitor and can not get DLDSR to work with it and it worked fine with my old monitor
Here is a link on how to... just make sure. I will check also for a future video when I test more pc.. www.wepc.com/news/what-is-and-how-to-enable-dldsr/
@@DisplayReality ya ya no ~ that doesn't work with this monitor ...unless you turn off adaptive sync and restrict the monitor to 120hz or less, then and only then it should work, trust me I've been testing for days to figure it out
Hey there i was wondering which panel would you choose coming from a acer predator x34 and acer predator xb271hu is it even worth upgrading in your opinion
hey Viktor, I prefer playing on HDR on my pc at all times whenever possible. I just got the g70A but if you think the 32" has better hdr, should I get that one instead? thanks in advance. I assumed the 4k res would look better over 2k in HDR..
The G7 has better pixel quality in my opinion that's why I think many will think the G7s quality over the clarity of the G70A is good. I will try a HDR vs video soon on both once I'm in my new set up room but just from checking them out for a bit in hdr I the the 32" G7 is better. Especially on PC. Because you can add a little more power brightness/Vividness in the Nvidia control panel. I did show a bit on my Doom Eternal G7 hdr video in the playlist. But I will vs them here soon.
Anyone know what the Samsung Odyssey G65B is? Is that just a renamed G7? It was apparently released in August 2022, but it's the exact same monitor. No info about it anywhere.
I just double checked some BF 2042 gameplay on a 1080p gpu gtx 1080 at 1440p high. It was hitting around 60fps. If you lower settings it would be better. Even if you only play BF you would get the immersion of the 1000r and VA contrast but not taking full advantage of 240hz as your gpu is limiting you. Still on a browsing and other less demanding games level you would see a better impact of the G7 and what it can do.
I have aw2521hf 240hz IPS 1080p(currently using for work 🤣🤣 because I got aw3420) And for gaming I am using the aw3420 120hz 3440:1440 2ms response time. And I don't know why, but I am thinking of selling aw2521hf and getting g7 32, mainly because I want to see if and how much VA is better than IPS for watching movies and playing games(Fortnite, Hearthstone, CS GO) at night. And because I want to get back to 240hz. My current pc build is rtx 2070 super, ryzen 5 3600, 32 ram. But I also understand that g7 28 is pretty cool display with 4k 144hz. I know that there is a g8 4k 240hz, but who knows when it will be available in my country, probably a year. What do you suggest? Which monitor to buy.
Try the G7 as they can be had at good prices. At least to see if you like the 1000r curve. But if you can..if you can... the Neo G7 165hz is best for HDR vs the G7. But the Neo G8 is the 240hz version.
I have learnt about black equalizer in gaming is important. I noticed the ips on left has better black equalizer than the right somehow and does not clip the black too much. It looks like it does better job than lousy LG 32GP850 that can't do black equalizer well and looks hazy with no contrast. That makes me think about that Samsung has better competition in gaming screen especially black equalizer for gaming is a real advantage especially for minecraft with dark cave to be able to see better and in the doom game like FPS. The new G70B is very promising to me so thats interesting.
I would prefer the 32" G7 as the quality of pixels looks better to me even tho the G70A is a tad bit clearer the IPS is still IPS and the VA of the 32" gives for picture depth..
Thanks for the video, I have G7 27inch I´m considering to move to G70A, is there a huge difference in terms of detail image considering they are 1440p and 4k or is not that big difference due specs of G7?
I would better get a Neo G7 for more visual improvement. The G70A is good but lower in brightness then the G7. Unless you want flat and 1 more inch and a small bit better in clarity I would get the more impactful Neo G7/8. That's just my observation on a bigger jump in quality. Unless your budget is only around the G70A price then the Gigabyte M28U or M32U would be a better buy. You get more for your money
How do you feel about the 32” pixel density vs the 27’? I’m looking to get an odessy g7 monitor but I have seen multiple ppl say different things. Some say the pixel density is so bad and the 32’ sucks and to get the 27’, and others say the 32’ is superior to the 27’ in every way. I’ve been debating this forever and honestly still can’t decide.
Same... the struggle is real. I had 3 monitors for a few days for tests (LG 32GP850-B 32''), (Samsung G7 LC32G75TQSRXEN 32"), and (MSI MAG274QRF-QD 27"). Mind you, I'm coming from a 10yo VA full HD 60Hz panel, so each of the monitors were a huge upgrade, HOWEVER... The colours of the LG monitor seemed washed out, even with black correction, so I returned it. Samsung G7 32'' on the other hand was a huge surprise. Before I even experienced it, I thought I would immediately hate the curve, but I really didn't mind it! It was very immersive, the blacks were amazing, the response times and colours are just soooo much better than the LG panel. Games and movies on that monitor are just an amazing experience. The concern for this monitor was, as you said - the pixel density. I could see that the pixels were actually a bit noticeable. And since I would use this monitor also for office work, I just cannot be sure that after a prolonged use (more than the 2 days I had to test it) some eye strain would appear... I also wasn't sure if the curvature was the right choice for office work... So I decided to try the 27'' MSI flat panel, and I can already see that the pixel density is much better, and I think for me - 2K 27'' is the way to go, although I admit - I would love to have a bigger screen... However, I just cannot afford a 4K 32'' monitor at the moment. MSI has great colours, very good response times, but the blacks are just meh, even comparing to my 10yo VA panel next to it, and the IPS glow is really bothering me. Oh, and also the white-glowing power button that I don't seem to be able to turn off :) I think I will still check the Samsung G7 27''... I only wish they made the same panel, but flat... Then it would be 10/10 screen for me, I think :) I will add that my colleague has the 2K 32'' G7, but he doesn't use it for work, so if you will mainly use it for entertainment, you could go with the bigger screen. Many online shops have some kind of return policy, so perhaps you can try it for yourself, that's what I do :)
Honestly because the G7 VA panel has the depth that makes the picture look comparable or better sometimes. It makes up for any pixel density issues. It's mkre about the quality of the pixels instead of pure clearness or number of pixels.
The new Asus tuf 4k hdmi 2.1?? The G70A is brighter and better overall. Now against the G7... G7 all the way. But if this Asus is a budget no hdmi 2.1 version then yes both of these would make a great upgrade...
Thanks to your video I was able to decide and I buy the g7 32 inch I would like to know what is the best setting in terms of finding, sharpness etc? because I am a little lost (I put everything in 100 but there are too many pixels and it's very ugly 😂) Thanks in advance
I keep mine on 60-67. I change sometimes in between. But usually on 60. Awesome you got a G7 32"! Many don't realize that's the best VA panel on the market still...
Have you updated to 1004.0? Have you formatted the usb stick to fat32 and only put the img file on it? Also try a 2.0ninstead of a 3.1 or 3.0 if those 2 don't work. Remember it's to the outer USB port that says service. The outer one (facing out)
It's looks great. While scaling has improved by far over the last 3 yrs native is better. I'm a picky person but I can easily play at 1440p on the G70A if I needed that performance
Hey victor if I ll buy g70a which is 4k 144hz but m willing to play some games on 1440p due to performance loss...what u say on this....will it feel blurry or something....
It looks really good. To get some performance at 1440p I play games like this too. Innolux panels are great almost as nice as LG Nano. It's not blurry at all
Vs Videos need to show the difference. Can we feel it not? prob not but still. G7 wins. I would disagree with you on that 4k and the VA vs IPS... due to the clarity. I respect your opinion... But the VA Depth is what makes it look like magic vs any IPS... even this great IPS panel. But I like vividness so someone who likes say sRGB would be okay with that look and prefer clarity. Happy Holidays...
@@Slimn93 not really, if you play single player games 4K all the way, but for multiplayer games you can’t beat the higher refresh rates. People make it seem 4K is the pinnacle of gaming, it ain’t.
I own the 32"... not the 27 unfortunately because I think the curve would be too strong at 27". I have seen many tell me that opinion too. They wish they would have gone with the bigger 32" size.
It's tough... 32" is the perfect 4k size. Both being very comparable honestly. It's mostly down to how it looks... I'm making more m28u vs g70a videos to help your decision making.
I haven't really messed around with the settings on warzone. But I will soon. But so far I prefer custom, black equalizer at 11 or 13, brightness 100, contrast 90, Local Dimming On (I like the look on certain scenes) Sharpness 60 color on its default.
I have color blindness. I'm playing Pubg. I can't see nearby black-clad enemies. Which panel shows the best black ones? I want the problem of not being able to see the enemy in the Pubg game to be eliminated. Do you think I should buy a VA panel or an IPS panel?
Both have Black equalizer that will help push a grey picture/enemies. A brighter image will help with that difference. What do you currently use. If you are having trouble then it would be better to try a different panel tech.. Samsung, Aorus, Gigabyte (these are mostly VA) monitors have black equailizer. LG (ips) have black stabalizer which is not as strong as the VA monitors.
Its Very very good. I can show more ps5 gameplay soon if it helps. Great sales going on at amazon. You won't be dissapointed. Honestly... It's one of the best
Sorry friend. I am having some issues so I needed to re-record some things. My PC has No space so I can't delete files to make room for new until I finish editing old videos I have already started. I didn't expect that drive space issue. Plus the Holidays is taking up alot of my time. I need to buy more space so I need to see how I will get it.
I’m looking for the fastest n best monitor for ps5. Can someone please help me?!? I really need it. I been torn n confused as to which monitor I should get. Please help me!!! Thank you in advance. I play cod, division 2, fortnite n games like this.
It does not bother in anyway. My D. Souls video is good. I play alotvif fighting games and it's pin point. Tho ips would eliminate that if you are prone to seeing it. But it's the best here.
@Viktors Reality hey mate , so its few days im going crazy over getting myself a new screen , im jumping from 1080p 60fps :D ye i know it sux but the reason i cant decide what to pick is that as well , i dont wana go with something i regret later , i mainly play MMO / advanture games and might also play FPS games time to time , could you please help me betwee this Options ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQR Asus Xg27aqm Aorus FI27Q-X Not that price dont matter but in this range its ok for me to pay , my GPU is 3060Ti , i know some ppl say stay with 1440p but if i get a better one in one or two years from now i dont wana regret not getting 4k screen either , all that said can you tell me which is right one for me ? i want best screen between these or if u have another that is same price but better picture plz do tell
AQM and FI27Q X looks better. Now the AQM has 97% dcip3. Anything above 90% you eventually can notice. It's a matter of build quality because both are so close in specs. Have you considered the LG 32GQ850 Odyssey G502A 32inchs tho... or did you need 27:. I kind of think the AQM is nicer but they are really tied. ( I thought I had awnsered you I guess it got lost)
Does gaming on this 4k monitor at 1440 resolution but at max details look worse than on a good regular 1440 monitor? I would like to buy this monitor but I have an rtx 3060 and i5 12 gen for now and I need a good monitor for a few years and will probably upgrade my computer someday
Try updating the monitor. But switch to av mode or PC mode and see which one gives you the option. Disable adaptive sync on the monitor for ps4/ps5 as they don't utilize it. Not yet anyway...
I currently have the G7 27 inch that i bought in December 2020 im using it on my ps5 and xsx i really love it but i feel like id like to try the new g70a do you think its worth it or should i just keep using my G7
Keep your G7 friend. Upgrade to the Neo G8 if you need something new. The G7 beats the G70A in everything other than VA smear if you see any but even so its very minimal. G7 still is better than the G70A in my opinion...
@@shawnydee_ hi Shawn, to answer your question: downscale 4K to 1440p appears to be sharper than native 1440p (according to numerous credible sources). Native 4K takes the cake all day, the difference isn’t huge in my experience but it’s very noticeable nonetheless Question for you: you use the curved G7 with ps5 right? When you play 60hz with downscaled 4K, do you notice bad input lag / bad response times?
In your lg vs g7 comparison, you burried lg and now you say your preferance between ips and va. Why dont you make tetris test and show g70a bad result? I think you are samsung fan boy nothing more.
My G7 32" has a red push. So maybe the G70A is redder? I tried to get them as close as possible but you can adjust color saturation or red or blue Push in the menu on both. My G7 was on normal cor while the G70A has to be on cool1 to get as close as possible.
I’ve had the G7 32” now for 3 weeks, and thus far it’s been a great experience. The added contrast in comparison to my 32GP83B was immediately noticeable from the first time I turned it on. For me the higher contrast makes the image look sharper, because there is better detail in dark areas. With that said, IPS is still a great experience once you have your settings dialed in, and I don’t think you can go wrong with either one of these monitors.
I just got the new G50A which to me has a LG nano panel. The black equalizer is amazing on the G70A and G7. While on the G50A it's more like the black stabilizer on the LGs..
Do you notice any difference in motion btw the two? I am super sensitive to it and the lg motion is unreal. Is there any blur with the g7
I can't deal with 1000:1 or less contrast ratios, I have a plasma TV from 2008 with (near) OLED blacks and looking at an IPS next to that is literally insufferable lol

Good afternoon . What to buy???And why
I was in the market for a monitor for the PS5, I saw Vic's vids. I ended up buying the G7OA 4k 144hz display. I absolutely love it. I didn't even know what my options were till I seen these his videos. Thanks Vic!!!
does the low response time and low input lag function work for you on 4k and 144hz on ps5?
Thx friend. The G70A really is awesome... Happy Holidays and stay safe..
Not the ps5🥲
@@TheEnd.ofStatusQuo I believe so. The monitor does the work as far as lag and response times.
@@marcusgomez1372 lol I know, right?!
I own both, the 32" is brighter, but if your not in a bright lit room, it's not an issue. The 4k looks better than 1440p for sure, the 4k is amazingly tighter edges on everything that the 1440p is....using a 5900x and 3080 my lower settings on 4k look better than the ultra settings on the 32" G7...I can adjust my 4k to give me max 144hz refresh rates and the lower settings still look amazing...and to be honest, the 32" is too big for gaming, you have to sit way back to not see the pixels and unsmooth edges that 1440p shows...if you want a high quality looking game I suggest the 4k...the 28" is a really nice size tbh....
I got a va g7 for 550, the price was tempting. Was disappointed by the curve, thinking to give it back. But after using it I now appreciate its image quality and smothness, the deep blacks and white dimming. It has a bit of backlighting, nothing serious but noticeble in space games. Despite this, on other games it is amazing
Love my G7. One gripe is the excessive dimming on certain content even with the local dimming turned off. I'm using it with my series X. I bought a gaming TV prior to the XBSX and thought it was amazing, but playing on this monitor has made me never want to go back to tv.
I love it also... I actually play better say on Destiny 2. It's just something that does envelope your field of view. It's different than other monitors.
How big? 27?
Great video. I would have to agree with yah on choosing the G70A for console and the G7 for PC. To have the ability to take full advantage of next gen console gaming on the Xbox series X and PS5 with HDMI 2.1.
Yea... Good thing is with more hdmi 2.1 Monitors or tvs coming out more will experience the smoothness of higher hz. It's great for everyone... Happy Holidays...
Glad I found you, this channel deserves more exposure!
Thx friend... Happy Holidays...
I got the G7 as well and hands down it's my best monitor ever. I wouldn't like to have an IPS panel monitor again. Also, if we look at the Televisions, high-end ones have VA panels.
I just ordered the G70a . I mostly play shooters on the new xbox. I have an older Samsung 28 inch 4k 60 hz monitor . I bought the G5 32 " 165hz 1440 monitor and returned it due to the graphics were noticeably worse than my old 28 inch plus the curve and and the size (32)was too big for playing shooters. I like to be fairly close and the monitor was too big.
The G70A is fast really fast. I would say on par with the LG 27GP950 Monitor. Great choice...
Just got the 27 variant on sale for 500 dollars can’t wait till it arrives!
Awesome price!! Can't beat that. Happy Holidays...
Was torn between these two for my Xbox series x. Went with the 32 G7 because I like curvy things.
Nice! Curvy things is always nice to have rather than flat... 🤣. Bur seriously it's different and cool...
Sup man, amazing review! I just wanted to ask can you pleaseee tell me what's your setting's while you recorded this video for the G7 because honestly after seeing this review I instantly bought the G7, although I'm quite struggling on fixing the settings as same as what was displayed on this video for the G7!
I have it on custom. Black equalizer of 11 or 13. Gamma mode 2. Saturation 56, sharpness, 56, local dimming high/on. 100 brightness, contrast 80. Color tone default or warm. I keep local dimming on for everything even sdr. Thats how we can get nice peak highlights.
@@DisplayReality Thank you, legend
If I want to pick one for PC gaming what should it be. G70A is costing me 25% more than G7 32 inch. What will be better pick for purely PC gaming, watching movies and general purpose use.
G7 32" is better. Brighter, deeper contrast, true VA picture depth. 1440p120hz still looks great vs 4k120hz on Xbox. But PC 240hz is great...movies look very good. The curve you will get used to in a day or so...
Is the G7 32” still good to use on PS5? Is the HDR good on it as I’m getting it next week. Did they also fix the flickering issue and the g sync. Also does it downscale to 1080p if you turn on g sync on PS5?
Great vid man. I currently have a ps5 and went with the 27 gp950b but i keep seeing that the top monitors for ps5 are the one i have and the g70a 28in. Do u think i should have gone with the g70a or u cant go wrong with either buy? The g70a is also $200 cheaper then the lg 27950b right now.
Forgot to mention i dont use the HDR on the 27gp950b since it looks washed out to me compared to SDR. Is the g70a 28in the same since it doesnt have many local dimming zones?
HDR is better on the LG. Have you tried adjusting in game hdr settings. Also try hdmi full for the added contrast. Have you tried all hdr prestes? The LG has bad local dimming algorithm vs everyone else. But I would not say the g70a I better its just different. But at 899 there now will be alot of competition very soon. The 27u from hp omen looms great for 4k120hz albeit at hdr400 at 699. The LG is priced good for that added brightness. The BenQ ex3210u is 1099 and seems to be the same in features... but thats 32" so 200 more? You can't go wrong friend its more about brightness. The g70a is less washed than the lg but lower in brightness too.
@@DisplayReality thanks man for taking the time to write that out. Really appreciate it.
Thank you, great video!
G7 is my favorite monitor and been through all the difficult times before vrr was added
Yea I love my G7 also... if you get a great panel then your all set but I do know many have got bad panels or issues...
@@DisplayReality true, ill keep mine for a long time
I think this one is gonna do well for me on PC too. I do hate that it has worse 60hz performance than I feel it should. But overall doesn’t seem to be the biggest thing
Yea... I know what you mean. 60hz content while great on the G70A... the G7 32" is better as I see no inverse ghosting etc... well not on xbox.
@@DisplayReality yeah the 1440p G7 performs better at 60 hz which is kinda weird to me.
Hi, can you please share setting for G7 you used to compare? Only seeing the G70A settings in description.
Oh... I will update. But try cinema preset on the G7 to see how it looks but For consoles amd PC I use custom mode. Black equalizer at 11 to 13. Brightness 100, contrast 80, Sharpness 60. Local dimming on. The dynamic picture option (under local dimming) is off.
I buy 3 G7 32" for triple setup simracing and it´s amazing!!!
True PCMR!!! That would look so cool...
Look, IPS is great. But this guy is absolutely right, you will never understand what he means by the "3 dimensional" talking point unless you see it for yourself. Recently just got the g7, and wow does this thing make IPS look really washed out. The contrast will make you see games in an entirely new perspective. And the curve is not that aggressive. If you have the money, seriously, buy it... there is no ghosting or smearing or anything on this thing. I think it's safe to say there's finally a reason to buy a VA panel. There's a lot of talk about poor quality control so your experience might differ from mine. I got lucky in the panel lottery. Absolutely nothing wrong with mine. Btw I got the 27 inch.
Awesome on you panel lottery! I feel bad for many when they return because of bad QC. Because we know how great this monitor is. Even after seeing all these new Monitors I still would not sell or trade my G7 for any if them... thats how good it is..
@@DisplayReality It really does make games look more life like. I love the analogy you used tho, paper vs 3d. It's perfect cause it makes so much more sense when you see it in person. I appreciate your videos on the monitor. It's damn good.
I can't really find that many reviews on this monitor. How does this monitor compare to the more budget 4k monitors? For example, the VG289Q in terms of picture quality.
I have both a 27" G7 and the G70A. I'd take the G70A any day if you have a 3080 or greater. HDR on both monitors suck ass and isn't real so that isn't even worth bothering with. The IPS feels smoother and doesn't need VRR control which causes micro stutters and no pixel inversion problems. If you have a 3070Ti or lower get the G7. But if you have a 3080 (or planning to) get the G70A and then wait till micro led is cheaper in a few years time. Crisp and smooth and way better than 1440p at any refresh rate for me. I do miss the curve though, but my wife likes it now she has stolen my G7 lol. Both good monitors but the G7 annoyed me with its various flaws and back light bleed. Fortunately my G7A has no back light bleed and basically no IPS glow which shocked me and probably isn't common. PS the G7 isn't 95% DCI-P3, I struggle to see the point of this video when all you do is rip off other people who have reviewed these displays, you should have your own tests and data. I'm only sharing my opinion to help people and save them watching this Rtings copy pasta.
Really... copy and paste video?? LOL... anyway rtings is a reputable site so I post my videos and opinion so many can see that rtings is correct in brightness and so everyone can see what that means in real world terms.
So now that ps5 will support 1440p would you recommend the G7? I have an A80J OLED but want a monitor for warzone.
Really struggling to make a decision between the 32" G7 VA vs the 28" G70A IPS to use with my PS5. I do usually like the curve and I play mainly Destiny 2. Any advice? I hear the downscaling on the G7 to accept 4k and display 1440p is fantastic, but would it downscaled to 1080p 120hz for pvp on Destiny? or am I better just going with the G70A?
They both can do 1080p120hz on ps4. The G7 would be brighter, and curved amd a bit better on contrast. That's about it. I would say get the 32" G7 on sale. Anything UNDER 659-699 is a real sale price.
@@DisplayReality I can’t find the G7 anywhere in stock. The G70a is on sale for $650. Worth it?
@@DisplayReality also, typo on the first comment. It’s for use with a PS5 not 4
Which one did you get
I bought the g70a mainly for playing destiny 2 on ps5 and I absolutely hate it
Help!! I am struggling here! It's between the G7 27in Curved the G70a 28In and M32U for the Xbox series X and PS5. I play a lot of FPS games and looking for the very best experience. Are these still the top monitors or is there something even better to go after for xbox series x and PS5. Help my indecisive self!!!!
The Neo G8 will be the best this yr. June timeframe. But the M32U is very cheap 599 is the best price.. I say that because it does alot for your money. But I love my G7... even tho its 1440p it's the quality of the pixels that I like..
@@DisplayReality so I ended up getting the g70. I don't think I'm enjoying the colors. They appare a little to dark for me. So I'm sending it back. Question is which is better for my xbox series x overall. For either the m28u or the curve g7, 27in. How big of a difference are they between colors and performance? I hear great things about them both. If I get the g7 curve how future proof is that one compare to the m28u? I sincerely appreciate you and your content.
@@bananapros8125 what did u end up doing? Iv ordere the curve but Dno if I shud return for the 4k
I had the 32'g7 for 2 years. But i was Never 100% happy with it. Because i had many micro stutters in Many Games and my fps was Over 220 fps in nearly every Game. So i deciced to Go to 4K because i dont wanna See pixels anymore and my 6900xt is in Most Games Strong enough to Go Over 100 fps. So bought the g70a and what can i say? The Micro stutters are complete gone and it runs butter smooth with just 144 hz. I love the colors and the black and NOW i know that i'm a ips type and Not an va type. But both are great, but After 2 years with the g7 i'm Now happy With my First 4K Monitor ❤
Awesome that you found a great monitor friend.
I'm surprised the pixel density didn't come up in the video (unless I missed it). Aliasing with 1440p at 32" is real and to me a deal breaker. 32", That's 4K territory in my mind.
Have you seen both side by side?. I mean... I think the G7s screen/pixel quality beats the G70As clarity advantage. It's super close but by Quality I mean by depth in the picture with fuller color plus VA natrual tech contrast might fool many into thinking it's the same. I like both... but my eyes tend to look at the G7 more when they are side by side because brightness and quality. More videos coming soon friend. I'll see if I can get some clarity demo's so we can see more tests.
Great video Viktor!
I have an RTX 2080 (Non-Super or Ti).
Is this enough to run the G70A until I upgrade my GPU and possibly PC late next year?
Or should I go for a 1440P with 240 Hz?
I know a lot of people say go with a 4K panel and drop the resolution.
If I do that, will the overall quality of the picture diminish substantially?
Some say it blurs it down a bit, but I have no way to test this with hardware and my eyes.
Thanks!
With qhd You are reasonably locked to QHD or 720p, because it doesn't scale well with nothing else. With UHD You can have lossless scaling down 4:1 to FHD. QHD scaling to FHD will be lossy, and no UHD possibility. So You need to stick to QHD with QHD display. If You can play any game on Ultra with 1440p on Your GPU than there is no problem. But Your monitor will require replacement with Your next GPU for sure to see a difference.
I’m getting this monitor on Monday for my ps5 and series x mainly. I hope it’s not a pain to update the thing so I can get 4K 120 on ps5. Was on sale for Black Friday for 650!
Oh it was! Hopefully you can find a link for the software update, I think I spent about 30 minutes looking for the US version.
I just bought it today on Best Buy for $650,I have to wait a few days for it to be delivered and of course everyone needs to update and here’s the UA-cam link on how to update ua-cam.com/video/y8DejSf32FE/v-deo.html
Nice sale price. Just make sure you have 1 or 2 usb sticks to try. Sometimes one won't work. Its weird as these monitors are picky. I had a 3.1 new Samsung usb and only a cheap 2.0 duracell usb worked. Lol.
@@DisplayReality yeah I grabbed a 3.0 and a 2.0 I keep updated on your vids on monitors I had to be safe 😂 Do you notice like more color pop on the 2021 G7? The main reason why I got rid of the M28U was the bandwidth on the HDMI 2.1 port being limited to 24 gigs. Do you notice it being more vibrant? And the local dimming on the M28U was awful another reason why i swapped.
Do you need to updated the monitor to enabled the 4k @120fps ?
Great Video again.
Bought 3 G7 32 for sim racing. Had to return 1 because of an animal under panel... Epic monitor!! But i have no exp with monitor calibration... Need help there.

Hi !! Great content as usuall :). G7 is amazing ! For you what is the best qhd monitor ?
For me the G7 32" still is the best but the new LG27GP850s (32 also) are looking great for the price and value.
If the G7 Neo comes out I’m getting it right away and returning my G70A. Luckily I have a 24 month return policy thanks to Best Buy total tech 2 out of return window return option.
Then for sure your covered. We Should hear alot more soon at ces 2022 in a few weeks as Samsung is going to have an Amazing yr in 2022. S22 Ultra, New Neo QLED Mini LED Tvs, New Odyssey Neo Monitors even the awesome Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablets... Our wallets will cry... 😂

Hi Viktor, I am really sensitive to input lag. Can you please give me your opinion regarding the difference in input lag between these two monitors? Is the difference really noticeable between the two or not enough to worry about? Thank you very much for the awesome content and for sharing your knowledge with us.
Honestly friend I do not notice any difference. They are both super fast.
Very very low. You could 100% use this for esports titles. 100%. You gotta have the GPU tho...
Great review 👍🏻.
Sadly I find this monitor anywhere. I even contacted Samsung and they don't know where or when I can buy it. I guess I will go ahead and just buy the M27Q
Struggling a bit here and I’ve seen you helping so many in the comments so i thought id try and ask for some help. So I currently use the log cx 46 inch for all my ps5 games. I hope to build a pc soon in the next year or so but id like a smaller gaming monitor for more fps games for the ps5 bc the tv just doesn’t do it for me those types of games. I’ve been lookin at these 2 as the best options but I know the g70 is out of stock at the moment at a great price but the regular g7 is on sale for under $600. Which would you choose as an opinion? Any other options I should look at? Thanks so much
Hi... the G7 is better overall for PC. The quality of the screen (if you get a great panel) is better to me. It's brighter in sdr and hdr would be better but only by a little as it only has 8 zones. Both right now are 579 and 599 on Prime Day dales. So try no to pay more than that ps5 works great at 4k60hz. I will have more vs videos showing both. If you need more ps5 gameplay just let me know friend... I'll try soon..
@@DisplayReality thanks so much for the reply and the help! So what’s the deal with games that you’d like to run at 120hz? You have to run it at 1080p or can you have it run at 1440p? Is that where the issues with input lag come in?
On ps5 on the regular g7 it's only at 4k60hz or 1080p120hz. No issues it's really a sony problem for not supporting 1440p
@@DisplayReality okay gotcha, so when people show playing warzone or another game that supports 120hz they’re on a g70 downscaling to 1440?

Hi Viktor, I recently own a ps5. I have a LG27UK650W for a couple of years which I bought because (of my already sold) ps4pro. The PS5 looks in my opinion great on the Lg. Will the 70a be a big upgrade compared to the monitor I already got? Whats you opinion?
Hi friend... (sorry for delayed response). The G70A is clear and a very good option. Did you end up getting it?
How good is 1000r curve to watch movies from 2m away? Does it look bad and I should get flat or less curved monitor for this?
The New G65B looks the exact same as the OG G7 with some smart features and speakers.
If the price would be almost the same which one would you buy for a 6900XT GPU / 5600x CPU?
For the note I aslo have an older 4K 60Hz 43" TV so consider that as well.
- 28" 4k 144Hz G70A for ~558$
- 27" 2k 240Hz G65B for ~540$
- 32" 2k 240 Hz G65B for ~637$

Thx friend I appreciate it so much..
hey Viktor, I prefer playing on HDR on my pc at all times whenever possible. I just got the g70A but if you think the 32" has better hdr, should I get that one instead? thanks in advance. I assumed the 4k res would look better over 2k in HDR..
The G7 has better pixel quality in my opinion that's why I think many will think the G7s quality over the clarity of the G70A is good. I will try a HDR vs video soon on both once I'm in my new set up room but just from checking them out for a bit in hdr I the the 32" G7 is better. Especially on PC. Because you can add a little more power brightness/Vividness in the Nvidia control panel. I did show a bit on my Doom Eternal G7 hdr video in the playlist. But I will vs them here soon.
Anyone know what the Samsung Odyssey G65B is? Is that just a renamed G7? It was apparently released in August 2022, but it's the exact same monitor. No info about it anywhere.
Hi, I have a GTX 1080 GameRock, will it handle and support the G7-32 "monitor? I only play the BF...
I just double checked some BF 2042 gameplay on a 1080p gpu gtx 1080 at 1440p high. It was hitting around 60fps. If you lower settings it would be better. Even if you only play BF you would get the immersion of the 1000r and VA contrast but not taking full advantage of 240hz as your gpu is limiting you. Still on a browsing and other less demanding games level you would see a better impact of the G7 and what it can do.
I have aw2521hf 240hz IPS 1080p(currently using for work 🤣🤣 because I got aw3420)
And for gaming I am using the aw3420 120hz 3440:1440 2ms response time. And I don't know why, but I am thinking of selling aw2521hf and getting g7 32, mainly because I want to see if and how much VA is better than IPS for watching movies and playing games(Fortnite, Hearthstone, CS GO) at night. And because I want to get back to 240hz.
My current pc build is rtx 2070 super, ryzen 5 3600, 32 ram.
But I also understand that g7 28 is pretty cool display with 4k 144hz.
I know that there is a g8 4k 240hz, but who knows when it will be available in my country, probably a year. What do you suggest? Which monitor to buy.
Try the G7 as they can be had at good prices. At least to see if you like the 1000r curve. But if you can..if you can... the Neo G7 165hz is best for HDR vs the G7. But the Neo G8 is the 240hz version.
I have learnt about black equalizer in gaming is important. I noticed the ips on left has better black equalizer than the right somehow and does not clip the black too much. It looks like it does better job than lousy LG 32GP850 that can't do black equalizer well and looks hazy with no contrast. That makes me think about that Samsung has better competition in gaming screen especially black equalizer for gaming is a real advantage especially for minecraft with dark cave to be able to see better and in the doom game like FPS. The new G70B is very promising to me so thats interesting.
hi victor thank you for video.do you thhink there is difference between the two monıtors them in imagine quality and clarıty
I would prefer the 32" G7 as the quality of pixels looks better to me even tho the G70A is a tad bit clearer the IPS is still IPS and the VA of the 32" gives for picture depth..
@@DisplayReality thank you Victors
@@DisplayReality thank you
Thanks for the video, I have G7 27inch I´m considering to move to G70A, is there a huge difference in terms of detail image considering they are 1440p and 4k or is not that big difference due specs of G7?
I would better get a Neo G7 for more visual improvement. The G70A is good but lower in brightness then the G7. Unless you want flat and 1 more inch and a small bit better in clarity I would get the more impactful Neo G7/8. That's just my observation on a bigger jump in quality. Unless your budget is only around the G70A price then the Gigabyte M28U or M32U would be a better buy. You get more for your money
@@DisplayReality Many thans man for your time and advise!
How do you feel about the 32” pixel density vs the 27’? I’m looking to get an odessy g7 monitor but I have seen multiple ppl say different things. Some say the pixel density is so bad and the 32’ sucks and to get the 27’, and others say the 32’ is superior to the 27’ in every way. I’ve been debating this forever and honestly still can’t decide.
Same... the struggle is real. I had 3 monitors for a few days for tests (LG 32GP850-B 32''), (Samsung G7 LC32G75TQSRXEN 32"), and (MSI MAG274QRF-QD 27").
Mind you, I'm coming from a 10yo VA full HD 60Hz panel, so each of the monitors were a huge upgrade, HOWEVER...
The colours of the LG monitor seemed washed out, even with black correction, so I returned it.
Samsung G7 32'' on the other hand was a huge surprise. Before I even experienced it, I thought I would immediately hate the curve, but I really didn't mind it! It was very immersive, the blacks were amazing, the response times and colours are just soooo much better than the LG panel.
Games and movies on that monitor are just an amazing experience.
The concern for this monitor was, as you said - the pixel density. I could see that the pixels were actually a bit noticeable.
And since I would use this monitor also for office work, I just cannot be sure that after a prolonged use (more than the 2 days I had to test it) some eye strain would appear... I also wasn't sure if the curvature was the right choice for office work...
So I decided to try the 27'' MSI flat panel, and I can already see that the pixel density is much better, and I think for me - 2K 27'' is the way to go, although I admit - I would love to have a bigger screen... However, I just cannot afford a 4K 32'' monitor at the moment.
MSI has great colours, very good response times, but the blacks are just meh, even comparing to my 10yo VA panel next to it, and the IPS glow is really bothering me. Oh, and also the white-glowing power button that I don't seem to be able to turn off :)
I think I will still check the Samsung G7 27''... I only wish they made the same panel, but flat... Then it would be 10/10 screen for me, I think :)
I will add that my colleague has the 2K 32'' G7, but he doesn't use it for work, so if you will mainly use it for entertainment, you could go with the bigger screen. Many online shops have some kind of return policy, so perhaps you can try it for yourself, that's what I do :)
get a 27 32 is a tv not a monitor
I have both pc and ps5 but can only choose one monitor… what one you recommend for both?
G7 for the brightness and deeper picture depth but everything else G70a.
how about the pixel density,any problem with the bigger one? for video watching,which one is more cristal clear?thanks
Honestly because the G7 VA panel has the depth that makes the picture look comparable or better sometimes. It makes up for any pixel density issues. It's mkre about the quality of the pixels instead of pure clearness or number of pixels.
So the g70a is better for the ps5 and video editing right?
From these 2? Yup... The G70A is best for ps5 and editing because it's flat. sRGB mode is nice too.
Man I can’t decide lol. What would modded Skyrim on Xbox look best on?
which one is overall best for seriesx/ps5
How does this monitor compare to like a more budget monitor? Like the Asus tuf 4K in terms of picture quality?
The new Asus tuf 4k hdmi 2.1?? The G70A is brighter and better overall. Now against the G7... G7 all the way. But if this Asus is a budget no hdmi 2.1 version then yes both of these would make a great upgrade...
Thanks to your video I was able to decide and I buy the g7 32 inch I would like to know what is the best setting in terms of finding, sharpness etc?
because I am a little lost (I put everything in 100 but there are too many pixels and it's very ugly 😂)
Thanks in advance
I keep mine on 60-67. I change sometimes in between. But usually on 60. Awesome you got a G7 32"! Many don't realize that's the best VA panel on the market still...
I have a problem updating the 28 inch G70A an am
Not getting 120hz 3840 by 2160
Have you updated to 1004.0? Have you formatted the usb stick to fat32 and only put the img file on it? Also try a 2.0ninstead of a 3.1 or 3.0 if those 2 don't work. Remember it's to the outer USB port that says service. The outer one (facing out)
I have to stick with curved for the rest of my life. Too good now that I am used to it. All preference!
True... once you go Curve you can't go flat. LoL... but once you are used to it... its hard going back...
There's G7, g70a, g70b, G7 Neo?
What's the cheapest option to just get what i want: 4k, minimum of 60 hz and fps, HDMI 2.1
Neo G7 and or G70B are both 4k. Others are 1440p. The Neon would look better and its at a great price nowdays
I had the 1440P VA G7,how does the 4K G70A handle 1440p? does it look just like a native 1440p monitor or are there compromises?
It's looks great. While scaling has improved by far over the last 3 yrs native is better. I'm a picky person but I can easily play at 1440p on the G70A if I needed that performance
Hey victor if I ll buy g70a which is 4k 144hz but m willing to play some games on 1440p due to performance loss...what u say on this....will it feel blurry or something....
It looks really good. To get some performance at 1440p I play games like this too. Innolux panels are great almost as nice as LG Nano. It's not blurry at all
@@DisplayReality ok.. 👍thnx
Hi, what do you think of the Samsung g7 27”? Is it worth it or should I get the 32”?
What did you get friend? The Neo G7 is the best... (sorry for delayed response)
I just got the g7 and getting the g70 a for a double monitor setup . Would two g7 a be better ?
Well it would be easier on the eyes. Size they would be same res and size. Wallpapers would look nicer... but still its just a preferences difference.
Would make way more sense having
4k 32" and QHD 27". 🙈
4.1 to 2.7 input lag is irrelevant. And the 4k is far superior to 1440p regardless of VA vs IPS. You notice that sharpness easily
Vs Videos need to show the difference. Can we feel it not? prob not but still. G7 wins. I would disagree with you on that 4k and the VA vs IPS... due to the clarity. I respect your opinion... But the VA Depth is what makes it look like magic vs any IPS... even this great IPS panel. But I like vividness so someone who likes say sRGB would be okay with that look and prefer clarity. Happy Holidays...
agree 4k way better than 2k. i dont think the g7 wins, its a downgrade. g70a all the way
@@Slimn93 not really, if you play single player games 4K all the way, but for multiplayer games you can’t beat the higher refresh rates. People make it seem 4K is the pinnacle of gaming, it ain’t.
Why dont you compare with 27" G7?
I own the 32"... not the 27 unfortunately because I think the curve would be too strong at 27". I have seen many tell me that opinion too. They wish they would have gone with the bigger 32" size.
For PS5, should i buy the Samsung Odyssey G70A 28" or Gigabyte M32U ?
It's tough... 32" is the perfect 4k size. Both being very comparable honestly. It's mostly down to how it looks... I'm making more m28u vs g70a videos to help your decision making.
What's your settings for 240hz. I'm on PC and not able to get COD warzone to play at 240
I haven't really messed around with the settings on warzone. But I will soon. But so far I prefer custom, black equalizer at 11 or 13, brightness 100, contrast 90, Local Dimming On (I like the look on certain scenes) Sharpness 60 color on its default.
I have color blindness. I'm playing Pubg. I can't see nearby black-clad enemies. Which panel shows the best black ones? I want the problem of not being able to see the enemy in the Pubg game to be eliminated. Do you think I should buy a VA panel or an IPS panel?
Both have Black equalizer that will help push a grey picture/enemies. A brighter image will help with that difference. What do you currently use. If you are having trouble then it would be better to try a different panel tech.. Samsung, Aorus, Gigabyte (these are mostly VA) monitors have black equailizer. LG (ips) have black stabalizer which is not as strong as the VA monitors.
Спасибо bro!!!
Is this the best 4K monitor with hdmi 2.1 for a ps5 fps/competitive gaming?
Yes sure
Which one is the way to go for ps5?
The G70A... for the 4k120hz. Plus, HDR looks nice... but this monitor is great especially at the reduced prices for the holidays...
How good is the Odyssey G75 LC27G75TQSUXEN Quad HD 27" Curved QLED to use with ps5
Its Very very good. I can show more ps5 gameplay soon if it helps. Great sales going on at amazon. You won't be dissapointed. Honestly... It's one of the best
What happend to the Samsung g70a VS LG 27gp950 on wensday?
Sorry friend. I am having some issues so I needed to re-record some things. My PC has No space so I can't delete files to make room for new until I finish editing old videos I have already started. I didn't expect that drive space issue. Plus the Holidays is taking up alot of my time. I need to buy more space so I need to see how I will get it.
Compare g70a vs g6 32 inch
I’m looking for the fastest n best monitor for ps5. Can someone please help me?!? I really need it. I been torn n confused as to which monitor I should get. Please help me!!! Thank you in advance. I play cod, division 2, fortnite n games like this.
Can I ask if oddysey g7 has black smearing?
I most play horror games and most of them are very dark
It does not bother in anyway. My D. Souls video is good. I play alotvif fighting games and it's pin point. Tho ips would eliminate that if you are prone to seeing it. But it's the best here.
@@DisplayReality thank you very much
What update should the monitor be on 1005.2?
Currently the G70A is on 1004.0 and the G7 32" is on 1011.0. Which One do you have?
@Viktors Reality hey mate , so its few days im going crazy over getting myself a new screen , im jumping from 1080p 60fps :D ye i know it sux but the reason i cant decide what to pick is that as well , i dont wana go with something i regret later , i mainly play MMO / advanture games and might also play FPS games time to time , could you please help me betwee this Options
ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQR
Asus Xg27aqm
Aorus FI27Q-X
Not that price dont matter but in this range its ok for me to pay , my GPU is 3060Ti , i know some ppl say stay with 1440p but if i get a better one in one or two years from now i dont wana regret not getting 4k screen either , all that said can you tell me which is right one for me ? i want best screen between these or if u have another that is same price but better picture plz do tell
i was hoping for an answer rather than a like :P
AQM and FI27Q X looks better. Now the AQM has 97% dcip3. Anything above 90% you eventually can notice. It's a matter of build quality because both are so close in specs. Have you considered the LG 32GQ850 Odyssey G502A 32inchs tho... or did you need 27:. I kind of think the AQM is nicer but they are really tied. ( I thought I had awnsered you I guess it got lost)
I got the Asus pg32uq for my consoles
How do you like the Asus? I want to get one... hopefully soon...
Does gaming on this 4k monitor at 1440 resolution but at max details look worse than on a good regular 1440 monitor?
I would like to buy this monitor but I have an rtx 3060 and i5 12 gen for now and I need a good monitor for a few years and will probably upgrade my computer someday
hi cant turn on cinema setting on ps5 its unavailable
Try updating the monitor. But switch to av mode or PC mode and see which one gives you the option. Disable adaptive sync on the monitor for ps4/ps5 as they don't utilize it. Not yet anyway...
at this point which is better for pc?
I would get the G7 240hz. But the G6 is brighter and has smart features so that is best.
I currently have the G7 27 inch that i bought in December 2020 im using it on my ps5 and xsx i really love it but i feel like id like to try the new g70a do you think its worth it or should i just keep using my G7
Keep your G7 friend. Upgrade to the Neo G8 if you need something new. The G7 beats the G70A in everything other than VA smear if you see any but even so its very minimal. G7 still is better than the G70A in my opinion...
@@DisplayReality Thanks. It is a beautiful monitor and i love the curve. Do you feel there is a difference between 4k downscaled and native 4k ?
@@shawnydee_ hi Shawn, to answer your question: downscale 4K to 1440p appears to be sharper than native 1440p (according to numerous credible sources). Native 4K takes the cake all day, the difference isn’t huge in my experience but it’s very noticeable nonetheless
Question for you: you use the curved G7 with ps5 right? When you play 60hz with downscaled 4K, do you notice bad input lag / bad response times?
4k better than 2k. g70a wins for me
They are both awesome! That G70A clarity at 4k native looks great!
Is g7 curve too much for 27 inch ?
At first its tough. But after a day you really do get used to it. Games look great but work or school look weird.
I use 1800 curve and i love it does 1000 curve differs so much ?
In your lg vs g7 comparison, you burried lg and now you say your preferance between ips and va. Why dont you make tetris test and show g70a bad result? I think you are samsung fan boy nothing more.
I heard Samsung is coming out with a 32 inch QOLED curved monitor next year??? Nooooooooooo 😂😂😂😂
But super expensive brother... it may well be beyond my budget... but for sure 100% LG OLED C2 will be here as soon as I can get one.
@@DisplayReality How much do you think the price will be???
@@DisplayReality Then again knowing Samsung I’ll say at least $1,800 🤦🏾
I rather more money on new tech panel than standard LED...from 20 years ago
I’m expecting ips with good black do You now anyone?
This G70A has above average black levels. This and m28u gave the best black levels if any ips monitor I have seen.
Ты где его купил
Купил на амазоне. Он также доступен в Европе на Amazon.
I think g7 va looks bluish compared to g70a in video!
My G7 32" has a red push. So maybe the G70A is redder? I tried to get them as close as possible but you can adjust color saturation or red or blue Push in the menu on both. My G7 was on normal cor while the G70A has to be on cool1 to get as close as possible.
