Samsung Odyssey G7 Curved Gaming Monitor, 32 Inch, 240hz, 1000R, 1ms, 1440p , Black

Product Information

The 1000R curve and the distortion it introduces shuts off the Odyssey G7 from the productivity/creator market and shuts itself off from the portion of gamers that dislike curved monitors. The 1000R curve could be game-changing on the super ultrawide Odyssey G9, but on the regular 16:9 G7, it's a bit of a miss. Input Device: Asus ROG Azoth Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Asus ROG Chakram X Origin Wireless Mouse, Logitech G913 Lightspeed Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Logitech G502X Wireless Mouse, Logitech G903 Lightspeed HERO Wireless Gaming Mouse, Logitech Pro X, Logitech MX Keys, Logitech MX Master 3, XBOX Wireless Controller Covert Forces Edition, Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE Wireless Gaming Mouse, Logitech MK850 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combos.

We're also seeing performance that far outstrippes the best VA monitors we had tested before. Something like the Viotek GFV27DAB which all things considered has well tuned overdrive and uses a previous-gen Samsung VA panel, is nearly twice as slow. Then when you look at other options like the LG 32GK650F or AOC CQ27G2, it's a no contest, those VAs aren't remotely in the same class.

Compared to other monitors, the Odyssey G7 delivers elite performance. At 240Hz, this monitor delivers an average experience equivalent to the best TN displays on the market, such as the HP Omen X 27 and the Gigabyte Aorus KD25F. It also outperforms the best we've seen from IPS so far, including the "1ms" class tech used in the LG 27GL850 and LG 27GN750. Other good stuff includes the monitor's build quality, stand, brightness and even some aspects to factory calibration. We're not sold on the HDR functionality, but at least the experience is somewhat better than a regular SDR displays that get HDR 400 slapped on the box. As for OSD tweaks to improve color performance, in our opinion there are some strange choices made by default. For example, we believe the default sharpness setting of 60 is slightly oversharpening the display, effectively post processing the image. Dropping that down to 56 removed some light haloing. Dynamic brightness is also enabled by default, although for the tests you just saw that was disabled as it messes with the results. Viewing angles are fine, similar to other VA panels but of course due to the aggressive 1000R curve this isn't a monitor you'll want to view at any angle other than dead straight on. The OSD is controllable through a directional toggle along the bottom edge of the screen, very easy to navigate though it's not the most feature-rich OSD experience. There are a selection of color controls and picture in picture modes, as well as a shadow boosting and cheat crosshair modes, but you're not getting as much functionality as the latest high-end monitors from Asus or Gigabyte.Grommet mounts: A grommet monitor mount is a type of mount that attaches to your desk through a hole in the surface. We found that they are typically more stable than C-clamp monitor stands and can support heavier monitors. However, we discovered that they can be more challenging to install and require drilling a hole in your desk if there's no pre-drilled hole. Colors were vibrant and beautiful, and HDR – while likely not on par with the TV in your living room – is still worth using in games that support it, for those extra highlights and more accurate colors (since SDR will be a tad oversaturated on wide gamut displays like this). Shadow of the Tomb Raider is still one of my favorite examples of HDR done well, whether you’re in the colorful Peruvian jungle or watching light stream through a hole in the wall of a dark cave. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR.
