Thanks to Samsung for sponsoring today's video! Check out the newest Samsung Odyssey G7 Monitor model G70A at lmg.gg/samsungg70a
Last year's Samsung's Odyssey G7 was an impressive monitor, but this year they took it from a curved to a flat design! That's not the only biggest change; the S28AG70 model has a 4K display with an impressive 144hz refresh rate and features the latest HDMI 2.1 port.

High resolution and refresh rate, no compromises (edit: except the HDR and color I guess). I love it, and can’t wait for the GPU shortage to end so people can get the hardware to drive these monitors in the first place.

[@sergiostockfleth823]

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.

[@KristianKumpula]

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]

Its odyssey g7 better about colors than other ips panels?? Im between this g7 or aorus fy2780qp

[@sergiostockfleth823]

@@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 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?

@@AlanZeino u can enjoy 144hz web browsing. Why want less?

[@yesyes-om1po]

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.

[@SEliteGuitarist]

It shouldn't add any usage to the PC cause it's the monitor itself that chooses the color and brightness of the RGB ring. I use this monitor for my PS5 and honestly it's not that crazy for the Core-sync. Using it in a rotation of colors looks much better or just one solid color.

I kinda wish this was a flat VA with the performance of the curved G7. That would be amazing!

[@LyK0sa]

Unfortunately the reason VA panels tend to be curved is to avoid the washed out colours you get towards the edges of the panel. It's a really shame, since the performance of Samsung's high end VA panels is basically unmatched, but I just can't live with that amount of curve.

[@rockino2562]

Ewww VA panels

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

VA panels are curved because viewing angles are trash. Even when you view them HEAD ON, you will see colorshift.

I recently bought this monitor and I have it connected through an HDMI 2.1 cable and the DP cable included in the box. Problem is now all my recorded gameplay is overexposed, whether I use Nvidia experience or obs studio to record. Does anyone know how to fix this? Before this, I had the pc connected to a LED Samsung TV with HDR turned on and the recording footage was fine.

[@theSilentDude96]

did you get the solution to your problem?

[@Enzo.Salvatore]

@@theSilentDude96 No. I have installed Windows 11. With its new and sophisticated autoHDR but it didn't fix it. Whenever I turn HDR on, on the PC, ans start recording , whether I use Nvidia Shadowplay or OBS, the recorded footage gets extremely saturated and when I turn off freesync or adaptiveSync on the monitor, the recorded footage gets extremely washed out

[@theSilentDude96]

@@Enzo.Salvatore have you tried asking Samsung about this issue?

[@Enzo.Salvatore]

@@theSilentDude96 No. They will tell me to update firmware or turn the device off for 10sec or to contact Elon Musk's costumer service...

[@-YELDAH]

@@Enzo.Salvatore i'd recommend jsut turning HDR off, it's only HDR600 so you'll get better looking dark areas with it off (i just got two and having HDR on only caused issues, generally recording HDR is hard anyway, though it is possible with obs if you really want to)

[@khoidang74]

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.

[@rand0mtv660]

And having 4K resolution on a 28'' screen doesn't make sense at all. They really made a big step back with this model.

[@Belegaren]

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

Small question, I own the G5 and I notest that it becomes extreme hot( to the point that you can feel the heat coming off it ) do you guys have that to with this screen ?

[@zgoaty9235]

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.

[@gavinw77]

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.

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

[@Loading_random]

Would you purchase the 4k 144hz or the 1440p 240hz versions paired with a 3080 and ryzen 9 5900x - I think going the 240hz route is more ideal because i hear there isnt much difference in the 4k -vs 1440p models - I guess ips vs va would be the game changer in my pick? THoughts?

[@KristianKumpula]

I think the main difference is indeed the type of panel. I previously had a massive IPS monitor and then replaced it with the older G7 because my monitor was just too big for gaming, and then within a few days I sent the G7 back because apparently even the best VA panel can't beat a good IPS panel. Then I got the newer IPS G7 instead and I was pleased with how it looks. But it's a matter of taste of course. I have an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 3700X, but I don't really miss the 240hz because I mainly play games where achieving that kind of framerate isn't feasible without dropping the resolution and graphics settings way down. Besides, the difference between 1440p and 4K seems more significant to me than the difference between 144hz and 240hz. Edit: Another big difference is the curve. This G7 is obviously flat whereas the VA G7 is curved to an extreme degree. In fact, I think it's too curved, so the flat panel is another thing I prefer about the IPS G7.

[@saqazsaqaz6297]

@@KristianKumpula great, finally an answer that makes sense, since you have the g70a what do you really think? is the monitor worth it?

[@KristianKumpula]

@@saqazsaqaz6297 It's hard to give a good answer to that because it depends on your preferences and budget. But for me personally, it costs more than what I was originally willing to spend on a monitor and I don't have personal experience with other gaming monitors in that price range, so for that reason I'm not entirely sure. I'm pretty sure you can find similar cheaper monitors that may not be better but provide more bang for the buck.

[@saqazsaqaz6297]

@@KristianKumpula thank you for your answer, I managed to get a g70a, but I was very disappointed. when playing color games it looked great, but when playing dark games the monitor was a real disappointment. in conclusion I returned the g70a and took a g7. the g7 is very good very good, the colors are a little less beautiful, but in dark games it is clearly superior. then i'm also used to playing on curved screens, and when i was on the g70a, my eyes and my brain were tricked and i had a very hard time adjusting.
