Just bought a Odyssey G7 27" curved VA panel, and while i love the colors, contrast and kick-ass blacks, even coming from three IPS panels prior to this model, I'm having a much harder time loving the curve. While it is not a problem when gaming or even working, I just don't dig the look on my desk. This new 28" model looks much better, but then again, I paid around 300 dollars for the 27" G7 so I really can't complain.
I'd say the main problem is that 27 inches is a really small size for such an aggressively curved monitor and probably even for a moderately curved one. Going for the 32 inch version instead is a no-brainer simply because of the curve.
@@hectoraviles6837 It depends on which monitor you compare it to. I dont know the Auorus panel but the VA G7 is good for color correction work with its 10 bit, vs an 8 bit ips panel I also have in my setup. The real great part about the G7 is of course the black levels of the VA panel which are inky black compared to non backlit ips panels. I will say that the VA is more sensitive to viewing angles though.
I'm buying this monitor tomarrow for my ps5. Never used a monitor before. Currently on a 3 year old Vizio v-series 50" 4k. Hoping this is a massive upgrade to visuals
Let me know what you think I did the same. By the way to get 120fps at 4K on games like call of duty you need to update the monitor using a USB drive and you need to put the input to AV not PC for some reason. Also make sure HDMI version is set to 2.1
@@rprinz97 I got the monitor today. Have to do some tweaking to the colors. My old TV definitely wasn't ment for gaming. Everything is smother and no more tearing or shadowing. I think it's worth it.

I'd really love to see a video comparing the brightness of monitors. I doubt nits is a linear scale so I have no reference for 400 nits vs 2000 nits looks like. Also, do various monitors actually achieve their rated brightness?

One of my favorite things about Linus is his commitment to letting you know if a display’s monitor “HDR” is actually any good or not depending on how bright it can actually get.
@@James-cr8mt Exactly, the real difference that hdr makes is the contrast, and without local dimming LCD's just cant do it no matter how bright they get.
@ChazMcClure always set local dimming to high. U can also set the contrast enhancer to max but what i noticed is that at max it washed out mah colors. Leaving it in the middle isnt perfect on ips, but its damn good. God of war is so good

I would love to see 4K monitors like these also being reviewed on your mac channel to see how suitable they would be with a mac mini, extending an iMac's display and also as workstation screen for macbooks and macpros.

I’m not sure what the benefit is, I have a 144hz 4K hooked up to my Mac and it’s not really worth it since I don’t game on macOS. Using the desktop at that refresh rate isn’t much to write home about.
I can understand that. 144hz is overkill for non-gaming purposes regardless of the operating system. However would you like to use MacOS with a 1080p display?
doesn't really make sense, just get a normal 4k60 display for that, monitor makers usually have to compromise on things to attain high refresh rates, either by being dimmer than they would normally be, less color, bad HDR, or whatever else. So it is best to steer clear of high refresh rate displays if you are doing professional work, for the most part this display looks good for that anyways, they do color calibration at the factory.
I currently have a Samsung 28" 4K 60Hz TN-Monitor and for me, 28" is a lot more managable than 32". Another point for me is, that my vision is very blurry outside of my focal point, so a smaller screen is better for me and with my desk, the monitor distance is really good with 27" or 28" screens. So I ordered this new G7 3 days ago.

There is only last year's 32" model. These are not replacements, they are extra product lines. So the previous version is still the current version if what you want is: 32" 1440p 10 bit color HDR600 240Hz
that local dimming is useless, cuz it just a handful of zones. which makes is kinda ugly. (i own a 27" G7 btw) So you are better of deactivating that stuff
@@RemizZ Agreed. For a TV, OLED is good, as there's not much static content being displayed for long periods of time, but on a desktop, you have the taskbar, window borders... For games alone it's fine, just look at how OLED TVs handle consoles, but with PCs that see regular use other than gaming, I have my doubts.
Given that there was no price said on the monitor, I would have to assume that this isn’t available at retail yet, but I’m going to take a swing at the price and say that this is about $850-900 US. I say this because it has pretty much the same specs as the the Asus 27” XG27UQ which is $800 US, and the only difference being the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 as opposed to 2.0b which might contribute to the slight increase in price over the Asus monitor.
Not possible, I just got the true G7 (32", 10 bit, HDR600, 240Hz, 1440p) for AUD$850. Well, I suppose they could be charging you for 4k which is overprices.
So, what would be really nice, if you did actual monitor videos in 60+ fps, so that way we can more comfortably see the movement. While you probably can read the text on the wall of CSGO, there is no way we can :D

Best Buy currently has this on sale for $549 (normally $799). I just ordered one. I feel like this gives me the most bang for my buck. I play on an Xbox Series X (so I need the AMD Freesync for the best experience on Xbox), but I stream from a PC. Having both Freesync and GSync gives me flexibility in case I start gaming from my PC in the future.
Can i play 120fps on 1440p on a 4k monitor for Xbox Series X? Or will it look bad cause the monitor is for 4k? In that case should i get a 1440p monitor for 120fps
I'm sorry but HDR on PC, especially on monitors with light bleed which is most of them, is just not there yet for it to be prioritized over a monitor being 4k. There is a huge gap in the market for 4K high refresh monitors at not ludicrously stupid prices because the GPUs weren't strong enough to drive them until now, and now they will be going forward. This monitor needs to come first. Hopefully Windows 11 can figure out how to make HDR work more reliably in the future like they said they would
My old G7 takes maybe 15 minutes to warm up and stop showing funky artifacts. When I leave on vacation and I return it takes HOURS until the picture isn't a hot mess of lines and glitches.
the curved panel is really natural thanks to the 1000rr curve and the distance you sit from it. This new panel seems like a major downgrade, 240hz 1440p really is the best resolution
this is an absolute crap monitor, just google odyssey g7/g9 scan lines problem and see how such expensive monitors have mediocre level quality control and samsung does not even know how to fix it, i also heard that samsung is calling back its g9 line up, so stay away unless you want to do the RMA dance with samsung many many times only to know that there are no units WITHOUT this defect, believe me i have tried that myself
its just another high refresh not 32" 4k panel. the first g7 is practically better except in resolution, especially because this is the same old garbage ips contrast vomit that gamers for some reason are fine to suck up. people seriously dont realize how much contrast they are missing out on by using IPS
I'm just waiting when we finally have screens that are 24 inch 4k/2k and 144hz... 27 or 32 for my room and desk is just overkill and I assume for many other students too..

They should had kept the 1440p resolution to be honest, like the original G7 at this screen size and instead have the same Mini LED backlight that the G9 Neo recieved for a proper HDR experience.

I have the LG 27GP950-B you may want to check it out. Has all this, except for the input auto switching.
I had the XL2430T before going IPS.
Get the old G7, trust me. Better than this shit
@@riba2233 why is it bad?
@@ajs0350 ips panel, lower rr and pointless resoulution, useless hdr implementation and a flat panel
Hope they come up with a bigger screen size.
1:37 At least, the Odyssey G7 is a color monitor, it's written left of the HDMI logo and above that "PR Not for Sale" sticker (Color Display Unit)...
Every monitor manufacturer doing 27 inches
Samsung: nah we gonna do 1 more
Horrible review. Barely scratched the surface of any details of the monitor. No mention of the HORRENDOUS local dimming feature.
Linus: Reviews a new product in Canada.
Me: Looks to order said new product in Canada.
Canada: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The previous G7 has local dimming, hdr 600, 10 bit color depth, 240 hz. This generation just improve resolutions and everything else is a step back.
And having 4K resolution on a 28'' screen doesn't make sense at all. They really made a big step back with this model.
that local dimming is useless, cuz it just a handful of zones. which makes is kinda ugly. (i own a 27" G7 btw) So you are better of deactivating that stuff
@@Bl4ckWarHawk Samsung's va panels are fantastic, and are on par with modern fast response time ips panels.
@@dylanpresidafonseca2545 Sadly they are not up to par with IPS panels. 1ms claims are meaningless. Plenty of reviews go over this.
@@Bl4ckWarHawk so are 1 ms IPS panels my dude.
Just ordered :)
when will samsung bring the mini led quantum dot from the G9 Neo to this monitor? That's what most people want, it would sell like hot cakes!
The avg person does not know what mini led is yet and the avg gamer cares more about refresh rate than screen technology
4K 144 Hz IPS panel is fine with me
Just buy a TV at that point if u want good HDR
Outstanding monitor with nod bd price at all.
Give it few months or a year, for LG making a 32inch 4K 144hz in OLED HDR. For the perfect gaming/working monitor
Still not so sure about OLED with regular PC use when it comes to burn-in
@@RemizZ Agreed. For a TV, OLED is good, as there's not much static content being displayed for long periods of time, but on a desktop, you have the taskbar, window borders... For games alone it's fine, just look at how OLED TVs handle consoles, but with PCs that see regular use other than gaming, I have my doubts.
@@RemizZ it’s about time to get over it
Given that there was no price said on the monitor, I would have to assume that this isn’t available at retail yet, but I’m going to take a swing at the price and say that this is about $850-900 US. I say this because it has pretty much the same specs as the the Asus 27” XG27UQ which is $800 US, and the only difference being the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 as opposed to 2.0b which might contribute to the slight increase in price over the Asus monitor.
Not possible, I just got the true G7 (32", 10 bit, HDR600, 240Hz, 1440p) for AUD$850. Well, I suppose they could be charging you for 4k which is overprices.
I bought mine from best buy on black Friday for $650 by far the best price I've seen
@@CapCDj Got mine today for 499 Euro.
are we still going to be using CSGO to benchmark in another 10 years? I demand a benchmark of Super Mario Bros 3!
They've got a great sale going on this one right now, just picked it up for $520 after tax.
I can really tell how good this monitor is on my cheap piece of trash
Which one’s a better option Samsung Odyssey G7 or Sony Inzone M9?
Finally, a worthy upgrade from my Asus 144/165hz screen!
£682 isn't too bad considering the Asus was 750 at the time it released
It's pretty bad considering the m28u is $600 with better color specs
@@kyberkylo7764g70a has a better bandwidth
So, what would be really nice, if you did actual monitor videos in 60+ fps, so that way we can more comfortably see the movement. While you probably can read the text on the wall of CSGO, there is no way we can :D
I have the one that is 240hz and 1440p. I think it has hdr600 as well.
It is right to buy this one for my ps5 to play warzone and demon souls nioh 2 etc en upcoming dying light 2 , i dont wanne pay for the same specs but but full hd 500 bucks ..
Man, I love the fact they went with a flat screen. I have the last year's model, and I still despise the amount of curve it has.
The curve is one of the best features IMO. Thought I’d hate it when getting it but I’m completely out off with the 2021 version having a flat panel
@@moritzzoellner Curved displays only have a like rating of like 2 out of every 10 people... Samsung and LG were both losing money because rarely anyone likes them. That's why Samsung has a plan to go back to flat displays only by 2024 and LG by 2025
@@GameTesterDev curved at this size is bad, curved at 32+ is good
ey I have a question, i found a 300€ used g7 27 4K ips maybe i can get it t’a 250€ but it dont have the screen foot so i would spend like 30€ more for a screen arm.
Or i can get a New odyssey g5 QHD 27inch, VA, curved at 250€
Which One is better ?
Best Buy currently has this on sale for $549 (normally $799). I just ordered one. I feel like this gives me the most bang for my buck. I play on an Xbox Series X (so I need the AMD Freesync for the best experience on Xbox), but I stream from a PC. Having both Freesync and GSync gives me flexibility in case I start gaming from my PC in the future.
4K on a 28" sounds kinda dumb, even more for gaming
Tell that to LG, Asus, Aorus they have 27" 4k.
Yeah I'd much rather get like a 32" being 4k. My 1440p 27" is crispy enough.
@@wilsonvalderrama1131 same goes for them
Yep
I want a 4K monitor but I don't want a 32" monster on a desk 🥴🥴
Can i play 120fps on 1440p on a 4k monitor for Xbox Series X? Or will it look bad cause the monitor is for 4k? In that case should i get a 1440p monitor for 120fps
What we all were waiting for was the old G7 with a flat panel, hdr600 at minimum and 1440p... not 2160p
I'm waiting for 2160p though... On a 32 inch monitor with 144hz
I'm sorry but HDR on PC, especially on monitors with light bleed which is most of them, is just not there yet for it to be prioritized over a monitor being 4k. There is a huge gap in the market for 4K high refresh monitors at not ludicrously stupid prices because the GPUs weren't strong enough to drive them until now, and now they will be going forward. This monitor needs to come first.
Hopefully Windows 11 can figure out how to make HDR work more reliably in the future like they said they would
@@TheJubess 43 inches or bust
simply put hdr400 shouldn't even be considered HDR
@@christophervanzetta 43"? I geuss that's cool if you love input lag lol
My old G7 takes maybe 15 minutes to warm up and stop showing funky artifacts. When I leave on vacation and I return it takes HOURS until the picture isn't a hot mess of lines and glitches.
Console gamers should keep in mind that Xbox Series X atleast does NOT support Ultrawide monitors. Hopefully that will help someone save their money.
Does ps5?
Bro so your saying if I get this monitor it won’t run the game how it’s supposed to??😔
@@larslodewijckx8676lmk if you get answers bro I just bought it 😟
I just picked this up for 500$
Flat panel would put Samsung back in the running for me, if it were HDR600. I was never gonna go curved.
the curved panel is really natural thanks to the 1000rr curve and the distance you sit from it. This new panel seems like a major downgrade, 240hz 1440p really is the best resolution
Main reason I didn't buy the g7 was the awful fucking curve on a 16:9 and also 1440p on a 32" screen is way too little
@@donpepe8440 the curve is really natural if you actually tried it and 1440p works just fine for games
@@MGMutt distortion and that puny res might be ok for only gaming but I also work so hard pass
i like how the gamertag is tips only
Yes yes let that curve trend die!!! More flat screens pls!
this is an absolute crap monitor, just google odyssey g7/g9 scan lines problem and see how such expensive monitors have mediocre level quality control and samsung does not even know how to fix it, i also heard that samsung is calling back its g9 line up, so stay away unless you want to do the RMA dance with samsung many many times only to know that there are no units WITHOUT this defect, believe me i have tried that myself
Anyone else prefer the old G7 to this new one?
Ofc
The bigger it is, the more curve you want it to have.
Jesus Linus... you show no love to this display. I would like to see how the RGB in the back look against a wall.
If it's the same light as the previous G7, you'll barely notice the light if you aren't actually behind the monitor.
@@Sveirok yeah, really weak
He doesn't show it, cause the room needs to about black to see that tiny ring on the wall.
It's RGB on the back of a freaking monitor, it's a freaking joke in itself
@@emmanuelferguson I agree it's very unnecessary, the lights on the lower rim of the previous G7 look nice though, can at least see them
Is this monitor actually available? Just says inquiry to buy on the website
4:55 crt monitor: laughs in no blur even when objects fly across the screen.
Oh look, another ad. Also hdr 400 is a joke and a scam, garbage monitor.
You know what, F you Samsung for naming two VERY different monitors pretty much or exactly identically.
Lol. Monitor names are always like this. Just look up the exact model number. I actually praise samsung for keeping it simple.
Is this monitor available to buy in the US right now? When I went to the website it asked for company info.
Linus, could you guys test the Gygabite Aorus FV43U, that seems so cool to have 4k, 144Hz and HDMI 2.1 on a 43-inch screen, doesn't it?
its just another high refresh not 32" 4k panel. the first g7 is practically better except in resolution, especially because this is the same old garbage ips contrast vomit that gamers for some reason are fine to suck up. people seriously dont realize how much contrast they are missing out on by using IPS
i don't get why they keep the g7 name when is is a completely different monitor (1440/240hz/va vs 4k/144hz/ips)
G7 neo lol
The g7neo is yet to come
@@tazboy1934 yeah I see, thought this one was "neo"
Meh.....shitty HDR 400 with no FALD and no actual G-Sync module. Means it will stutter and look shitty.
I'm just waiting when we finally have screens that are 24 inch 4k/2k and 144hz... 27 or 32 for my room and desk is just overkill and I assume for many other students too..
Uhhhh 4K on a 24 inch display is a waste
@@Legendary_Bleu But we do have 4K laptops... We do have 2k and even some 4k phones.. but we draw the line at 24 inch monitors?
@@kizanko oh sorry you’re a student then 4K is ok.
@@Legendary_Bleu .... Eh.. I.. 🤦
@@kizanko 4K is ok on a small screen for a student is what I meant but for a gamer you’d definitely want a larger screen if you want 4K display just to make it worth it
Anyone had a fix for the brightness seems like it really dim even at 100 can't even access ecoplus or black equalizer the black color is way to dark
8 bits panel for this price ?
shame
I thought anything that’s HDR-capable should be 10-bit, I stand corrected now.
@@noumanintown it has to be, and this one has 10 bit, he just didn't enable it
Can you do a review on the new Samsung G30A monitor, the 24 version of the monitor reviewed in the video?
I can't wait for the odyssey neo g9 review
So dont wait 😒
@@beenac2473 You must be fun at parties.
@@K.R.X i meant it as sarcasm
All that tech and no doubt money, and the fricken go HDR 400? Seriously? HDR 1000 or GTFO.
Its more expensive, yet has worse specs than last year's model except for the resolution. But at 27-28 inches, 1440p @ 240Hz > 4K @ 144Hz.
horrible video. where do you plug in it at in the back of the monitor? Zero instructions on setup.
It wasn’t a tutorial… it was more of a review of the product.
4:19 im guessing he meant he meant IPS instead of TN
They should had kept the 1440p resolution to be honest, like the original G7 at this screen size and instead have the same Mini LED backlight that the G9 Neo recieved for a proper HDR experience.
Imagine how big your desk would have to be to have two 49 inch monitor side by side
In a previous video He showed them. He has them above each other not next. 😊 then it should be fine. A bit overkill in my eyes but okay
