I'm still investigating that though posting questions in several threads regarding that. The Standard pixel responsivness setting is really smooth. Never mind the UFO test for blur buster you really won't notice it while gaming and it's minimal. When you get it make sure to calibrate colors to your liking. No need for a tool.

I agree that real-world experience is a more useful test than synthetic benchmarks, but why test HDR? HDR400 is fake HDR (see Hardware Unboxed reviews as to why), I leave it off on my M28U, the image is just flat and whites are washed out with HDR on. Also would be good to have some transparency as to whether the manufacturers are supplying you with the products and providing any financial incentives.

[@BainCustom]

I bought both of these myself. Normally I will say if they have (very few at this point), or KZbin will pop up with a notice that it includes paid advertisement/sponsorship. Yeah HDR400 is not reliable, especially compared to a TV. But I get asked about it all the time, best HDR settings and so on. It's actually more for the console users than anything. All next gen consoles will automatically output HDR in game and in movies. So I throw in a test to compare and see if it's any good. Some PC users are interested too. Thanks for the input btw.

[@funcioguerra9998]

I don't know why so many problems with the well used hdr 400 is more than enough in fact the hdr in the games is something secondary.

[@BainCustom]

I mean it's true that HDR10 in games is not much to look at most of the time. Some games optimize way better for HDR. Can't wait to see real Dolby Vision in games. It's technically there, but the game is developed using Dolby Vision, it's just enabled for the game.

I do like a solid 1440p monitor with great black level performance and high color accuracy. Of course the basics for gaming as well. But 4K is setting new standards of gaming and will be the go-to upgrade in the coming years. I think 4K outperforms 1440p on console, because you can still do 1440p and 1080p if you want and 4K has more support than 1440p currently.

@@BainCustom I’m only using the Xbox series x. Always played console but been using the same 1080 Vizio tv for the last 10 years. Since my comment I’ve pushed it down and am looking for a budget 1440p gaming monitor for console. Any recommendations would be appreciated for the u.s.a. Mostly play fps games and fifa if that helps thanks for the reply!

[@ryanbentancor9988]

what about Asus vg28u vs Samsung?

[@BainCustom]

That will need to be added to the list. I have been asked a lot about the Asus but haven't had the chance to grab one yet. Thanks for the input btw.

[@pyro2957]

so for faster paced games which would be better for ps5? i’m so 50/50 on which one to get

[@shotgunsidhu]

Same here bro

[@romanshirzai3247]

Whichever is cheaper, but i would say g70a is a little bit better than the m28u. Go for the g70a if it's cheaper than the m28u.

[@BainCustom]

Exactly what roman said!

[@onofriopiccolino5166]

I just got a G7 4k a few days ago but it has a hot pixel. Should I swap it ?

[@BainCustom]

you can try to run a pixel refresh video on youtube. But I am sure you have swapped it by now.

[@onofriopiccolino5166]

@@BainCustom I still have 2 weeks to swap it. I just don’t think it’s worth the hassle of disassembling it for a little white spec. It is almost center screen but the pixel does change some colors. It’s just dark scenes and even then it’s just like having a speck of dust on the screen that you wouldn’t want to wipe away because of fingerprints. I am all ears on how to fix it

[@Elwildos]

I was going to buy the m28u but the g70A was around 100 euro cheaper where i live

[@BainCustom]

Solid choice then! Solid deal.

[@gwrace]

The reliability reviews on the Samsung G70 A are terrible. Add to it that Samsung only provides a one year warranty with terrible support. That should tell you how much faith they have in the quality of this monitor. Buyer beware

[@StevieH-1872]

24 months manufacturers warranty is GOOD! The G7A is also £120 cheaper here in the UK than the M28U who provide 36months warranty but it only works if you have more than FIVE dead pixels!!??? I'm sooo torn! lol

[@BainCustom]

From what I understand it is 3 dead pixels over here. Still rockin the G70A. Can only complain about its problem of not wanting to be paired with a second monitor.

[@XxwizadsxX]

How do you enable fps counter on the Samsung?

[@BainCustom]

unfortunately it doesnt have one built in!

[@akirashingeki]

What are your settings for the G70A for warzone?

[@BainCustom]

I have them listed on the main review video. Check it out there. I will update this one with those settings later at some point

[@gravity2628]

hey i was thinking to buy the Samsung G70A and wanted to know how fat the stand was

[@marlongreene83]

How to toggle adaptive sync? It's gray out I'm on ps5. Have any settings advice for ps5 users? I mainly play vanguard multiplayer.

[@BainCustom]

On the M28U? Currently the PS5 does not support VRR, unless they rolled out the update sooner than expected. Could be due to HDR being on too. But it wouldn't change the console to allow it.

[@marlongreene83]

@@BainCustom sorry I should've mentioned it's for the g70a.

[@BainCustom]

gotcha, Samsung is a bit more unique and locked down with the PS5. I am not even sure you can get it to be turned on, unless you remove all HDR features on the PS5.

[@vcof2005]

What’s your choice between the XV282K and the G70A for PS5?

[@BainCustom]

G70A for sure. It would be closer if they are full price. I. Which case I would probably go Acer for the extra HDMI bandwidth and so on.

[@vcof2005]

@@BainCustom thank you!

[@Basxher]

Would you say the g70B ( the 28 inch one ) is as Good as the G70A? Or What should i buy for the ps5

[@InsideDC]

G70B is an updated version of the G70A

[@NormaBATES007]

Did you test the Omen 27U 4K already yet? I own the Omen X 27, and bought the Omen 27U 4K, but there are almost no reviews on it due to input lag or respons times. I can't really choose between Omen 27U, Gigabyte M28U, or Samsung Odyssey G7 AG70

[@BainCustom]

Samsung was my personal favorite all around. But the Gigabyte really did not let me down ever. IDK about the HP.

[@NormaBATES007]

@@BainCustom thanks. I heared from a lot of people to stay away from Gigabyte so I choose for Samsung. I tryed the Omen 27U 4K but sending it back, mouse keyboard as well controller are extremely heavy so lots of input lag, even when I cranked the sensitivity up. Ordered now the Samsung g70. But I don't think there is a monitor in this price range who can beat my Omen X 27 (1440p) except for 4k resolution, but input lag, response lag etc Omen X 27 is a beast. Despite it's a TN panel it sometimes looks like ips. Watching angles I don't care about, usually I sit in front of the monitor, not at the sides. I game and watch movies often in a dark room I really hope Samsung has no glow or backlight bleed, wich seems to be "normal" these days for ips... Well, I can't accept that I really hate it. We'll see, if Samsung is not a improvement compared to Omen X 27 it's going straight back.

It is indeed. F07 I believe it is.

Its the country code from the manufacturer. It allows them to make small changes and track inventory to the different distribution areas.
