In contrast, the original G7 is a 1440p 240Hz 27" curved VA display, otherwise known as the LC27G75T, so clearly these are two very different products and you don't want to be confusing the C27G7 with the S28AG7 model. It's a little disappointing how Samsung has ruined the naming scheme for the Odyssey G7, but with that cleared and out of the way, we don't want to get caught up in that too much. The Odyssey G7 S28 also does not clamp the wide color gamut down to sRGB or Rec.709 by default, so there is a bit of saturation for everyday SDR content like YouTube videos. I wouldn't describe it as significant oversaturation, but it's not accurate going on the deltaE results from our testing. I do like the design on the rear, Samsung have gone with the same type of "gamer" influenced style but the patterning is pleasing and the RGB LED core lighting element in the center looks pretty cool, certainly a better-than-average implementation of RGB.
Input latency is good, especially for processing delay which is negligible and a mere fraction of a millisecond at 144Hz. The main limiting factor here is the refresh rate, you'll only achieve a smoother and more responsive experience with a higher refresh rate display, like some of the 240Hz options in this chart. Also I should note that input latency is much higher when using the G7 S28 at a fixed 60Hz, I'd recommend setting the display to a higher refresh rate if possible. The contrast ratio I recorded with my Odyssey G7 S28 unit was very good for an IPS monitor, at 1160:1, better than the Gigabyte M28U and especially Asus VG28UQL1A. This panel clearly has some variance to it, so perhaps don't expect every model to come with this contrast ratio.As always our full calibration results after using Portrait Display's Calman software are very good, especially for sRGB where there are no lingering issues. The only main problems were for the P3 color space, the S28 can't fully cover the P3 gamut, so performance at the top end is still off where it should be. This limits the versatility of the display as a monitor for creators using P3, but it's still fine for content consumption.

We tested it with the Local Dimming setting at 'On'. There's also an 'Auto' option that turns on the local dimming when you enable HDR, and it disables it with SDR. Enabling the Local Dimming adjusts the brightness to the max, even if you set the Brightness setting lower, it doesn't do anything.Cumulative deviation is right in line with the M28U and VG28UQL1A, only a couple of units separate these monitors, which is to be expected as the overdrive settings and panel are all very similar. This gives us a mid-tier modern IPS experience which is exactly what you want from this technology today, and the only way Samsung could have improved performance further would be through variable overdrive.
