VRR for PS5 : you need to change the monitor refresh rate to 120hz and the VRR option will be available in the ps5 picture settings ( just a tip )

[@theinfamousgamers]

u know what the difr is w VRR ?

[@zoltanerdelyi5441]

@@theinfamousgamers I haven't noticed any difference weather VRR is on or off. I have never experienced screen tearing on the PS5 and I guess VRR is designed to eliminate screen tear like G-sync , similar to V-sync too but with significantly less latency... That's all I can say.

[@3choblast3r4]

@@zoltanerdelyi5441 VRR isn't for screen tear. VRR is meant to make the game smoother. Eg. if your game runs at 120 but regularly dips to lower frames. VRR makes sure the game still feels smooth and you don't notice the frame drops.

@@zoltanerdelyi5441 It's not just tearing, it also makes stuttering less obvious, if it happens in a game.

This might be dumb question but, if I want to set it to 120 hz, do I have to use the computer or can I just do it via the monitor’s own menu?

Great review! You speak clearly and precisely about the monitor, not showing it on camera and instead, giving us great views in games. Bravo.🎉

[@DS-er4ng]

I had serious scan line issues, primarily in blue and orange, with this monitor. The individual pixel lines were visible because one line would be a darker blue, and the one below it would be lighter, followed by a darker one, and so on. The only way to reduce this was to deactivate VRR (which made them less noticeable), but to eliminate them completely, you would need to set the screen to 120Hz with neither adaptive sync nor VRR enabled. I started reading about this, and it appears to be a widespread issue. I contacted Samsung, and initially, they claimed they had never heard of this before. However, they later admitted that it is a common problem with VA panels and this monitor in particular. Refunded.

[@shaddprice3908]

No scan lines @240hz like others have reported and shown. Not bad for 999 to myself Xmas present. I love this thing with pc and consoles.

I bought this exact monitor and right off the bat there weren't any glaring issues but a few days later I noticed that there are quite a few dead pixels scattered around my screen. I'm going to call Samsung and try to get a replacement. I've been reading that dead pixels with this monitor unfortunately seem to be a common issue.

[@iiTzIsaac]

Update: called Samsung support and they told me to take my monitor to the UPS store so that it can be shipped to a Samsung repair center for repairs. I'm not sure how long it's going to take but all I really care about is that the dead pixels will get fixed and that they get the monitor back to me within a reasonable time frame.

Guys listen up... This is very important settings on Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 or G7 Neo is" Saturation " this give more color for both SDR and HDR. Well, best settings is " Saturation " with 58 or 60 or 70. I use 70 for both SDR and HDR. Depending on which movies or games to run. See and test what is fit best. Also important that " Local Dimming " to High or Auto. Sometimes better use with High and sometimes better use Auto, depend on. But you better use both High and Auto, However use most with High. "Local Dimming" is important for both SDR and HDR. This thing has do with Mini-LED. You can change " Contrast Enhancer " On or Off, if you like it. Use both of em. " Black Equalizer " 13 is great but you can change from 9 to 16 or to 20 if you like it. You can change Gamma Mode 1 or 2 or 3. i use 1 and 2. " Contrast " with 75 or 80 is fine and even more 100 if you like it. i use 75 and 80 and 100. Well better use with HDMI than DP. HDMI can get 12-bit color, with a lot color than 10-bit. But make sure set on output color depth 12-bit SDR in PC. This monitor model HDMI 2.1 can get only 120Hz max at 4K. If you guys wanna run with Displayport at 240 Hz but get only 10-bit color. This monitor support 12 bit color, That Amazing... ---- Like Viktor say: You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals!

Depending on which movies or games to run. See and test what is fit well best. Also important that " Local Dimming " to High or Auto. Sometimes better use with High and sometimes better use Auto, depend on. But you need use both High and Auto, However use often with High. If you like can use also with Low, but i never use Low. "Local Dimming" is important for both SDR and HDR. This thing has do with Mini-LED. You can change " Contrast Enhancer " On or Off, if you like it. " Black Equalizer " 13 is great but you can change from 9 to 16 or up to 20 if you like it. 9 to 16 is great " Contrast " with 75 and 80, 90 and 100 fine. You can change Gamma Mode 1 or 2 or 3. I use 1 and 2. Even you can change " Color Tone " I use Normal and Warm 1 and Natural. " Adaptive-Sync " is On this is good thing so you can use with G-Sync Compatible to enable if you wanna it. But make sure turn off V-Sync in game. If off G-Sync, you can use V-Sync. I don't use G-Sync due they are not support to all games also i don't need that. You can have " Adaptive-Sync " on and without use G-Sync and just enable V-Sync. If you turn off " Adaptive-Sync " You can use with " Response Time " and " Low Input Lag ". I don't use " Low Input Lag " Just keep on " Adaptive-Sync ". If you turn on " Adaptive-Sync " will work run with G-Sync or FreeSync. HDMI or DisplayPort both work to run with G-Sync or FreeSync. My " VRR Control " is On. Well better use with HDMI than DP. HDMI can get 12-bit color, with a lot color than 10-bit. But make sure set on output color depth 12-bit SDR in PC. This monitor model HDMI 2.1 get only 120Hz max at 4K. If you guys wanna run with DisplayPort at 240 Hz but get only 10-bit color. This monitor support 12 bit color, That Amazing... If you run HDMI on PC and don't forget turn off HDMI audio in Nvidia Control Panel or in Sound Control Panel, If you wanna use from motherboard audio ports or PC sound card. If you have problem monitor like when is flickering or glitching or other just turn off power in OSD buttons then turn on power. If this not help then just restart PC in Windows. Then is all good again. I think DP is better than HDMI for that Samsung Neo Odyssey G8. Almost zero issues for flickering or nothing at all. I think HDMI got more issue. This is just small problem, not big deal. I did try only with PC Windows DP & HDMI. I don't know about with Consoles at HDMI if have problem with flickering or other. I did read from someone comment and he said about Scanlines problem.. =========================================================================== What i learned watching hours of reviews 240HZ = GAMING ONLY (Scanlines are not noticeable while gaming ) 120HZ = OFFICE WORK / VIDEO (Eliminates scanlines) *Get used to scaling your MONTIOR depending on the type of work you are doing. *SWITCH TO 240hz while GAMING * SWITCH TO 120hz while doing OFFICE WORK =========================================================================== You know that settings on SDR will have different settings save from HDR on, If you run HDR will have other settings save. So you can have two options SDR and HDR settings for saves. Great right? ---- Like Viktor say: You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals!

When you get into monitors of this price range and caliber, manufacturers aren’t going to waste money trying to guess that the consumer will like the factory cable provided. Look at all of the options a person will decide when it comes to a cable: display port or hdmi, length, quality of cable, data capabilities, etc. Chances are when you buy a monitor like this you know the cable you want and the manufacturer was never going to guess what you wanted.

[@MinimalisTech]

Actually straight up true, good point

[@rorynolan2322]

I don't know cables are pretty cheap and the should at least provide a cable that supports the monitors max capabilities. This being a pc monitor it would make sense to supply a display port cable I know it's easy and cheap to just get one yourself but there's nothing more annoying that finally getting your shiny new thing and finding out you can't properly test it out yet because there isn't a cable in the box

[@od40k77]

@@rorynolan2322 I understand your point of view but I’d argue anyone buying THIS monitor either has the cable they want or intends to buy their own cable that they want. If the manufacturer is going to provide a high end display port cable at 6’ long, the cost of the cable is at least double if not triple by the time it’s passed onto the consumer. If a cable cost the manufacturer $5 it’ll be $20 by the time you pay for it, if not more depending on how many companies are in the distribution chain. This is exactly why they don’t supply the cable on high end displays

[@rorynolan2322]

@@od40k77 I'd disagree it's going to depend what there upgrading from I my old monitor happened to have dp 1.4 so I was fine to just swap out monitors but if you had a slightly older monitor then I'll likely only have dp 1.2 and wonder why you can't enable 240 Hz at 4k, you should never just assume the costmer is just going to know the difference. Also I don't know what you mean by high end cable? Any cable with the correct spec will do the job just as well as any other and those cables do not cost much, so I don't know why someone who would be in the market for a high end monitor like this would have a "special" cable in mind. I also don't agree that a cable is going to add 20£ onto the price if a cable would cost me £8 then it's going to cost them way less as they get them in bulk and the more expensive the monitor the less of a % increase in manufacturing costs a cable is going to add onto the price If your buying a 100£ monitor Vs 1000 the cable is making up far more of the cost of the product of the 100£ one meaning it's much easier for the manufacturer to eat the cost on the more expensive monitor. If you bought a ps5 ud be annoyed to find it didn't come with a hdmi 2.1 cable

[@od40k77]

@@rorynolan2322 I’m assuming you don’t know a lot about manufacturing products and what the cost to consumer ends up being. Every cost that a manufacturer has ends up getting marked up anywhere from 1x to 3x (or more) by the time it reaches the consumer. I’m not going to explain business principles to you, but if you don’t know there is usually a 100% mark up each time an electronic product is bought and sold, you should stop posting comments on this subject. I don’t know how many high end monitors you have ever purchased but I have two very nice LG Ultragear monitors and neither of those monitors came with a monitor cable. I have my own cables, one 12’ and the other 15’. I’m glad LG didn’t bother to give me a cheap 6’ cable because it would’ve been a waste of my money, not LG’s. Samsung, LG, probably other makers that are producing high end monitors aren’t including monitor cables for a reason. You need to understand the product we’re talking about here. We’re talking about monitors that cost $800 or more. The people that buy these products are buying the monitor specifically and not the cable that may or may not come with it.

[@jeanpaulalmeida]

You should really try out the fantastic LG EVO OLED C2 42 inches. The best monitor both for PC & consoles in my opinion! I myself are using it together with a high end GPU RTX 3090 and believe me when I say, it's the best experience I've ever had... 😊👌🏻

[@mattgreenfield8038]

You must have a 4090. I had a 3090 before I got 4090 about 6 weeks ago. There is no such thing as a high end gaming PC without a 4090. The way overpriced and cut down 4080, and the 7900XTX disaster from AMD are both 2 tiers below 4090. This monitor is only for 4090 owners.

[@mattgreenfield8038]

@@CutzMcOnions i got the same LG 42 C2 that this commentor got. Just got it black Friday. I'm just agreeing with the actual monitor review, the only way to really enjoy a 4k 240hz monitor is with a 4090. It's literally a quote from this video review. He says you will only really get the most out of this monitor if you have a 4090. And this wise man commented how he had just purchased the beautiful LG 42 C2. Unless we see an OLED go up to 240hz, there's no need to sacrifice the picture quality that the LG C2 offers. I had a 3090FE. I now have a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090. If I still had my 3090...I don't think I would consider my PC "high end". That's how amazing this 4090 is. It is multiple tiers above the next group of GPU. Last Gen, the 3080s, 3090s, 6900XTs... were all kinda close to eachother. This time it's not close. I don't think there has ever been this wide of a margin before

I have it rn and watch this video thru it lol. Best display ever… definitely get it if you have a beefy gpu to take full advantage. Don’t get it if you have a mid to lower tier GPU because you can’t push 4K at high refresh, it’s a waste of money at this point

[@krullexneo]

But wouldn't it be better to upgrade the display first then the PC? If you can do 4k 60 then you can enjoy it still but then when you upgrade your PC it's like getting a new monitor too because now you're enjoying 4k high refresh rate, it's a purchase that will keep getting better as you upgrade your computer. If you have let's say a 1440p 144hz monitor and you're already capable of pushing that resolution at those frame rates why upgrade your PC?

Can this monitor resize itself in the UI for a 24 or 25 inch size? That is my preferred size for competitive fps. Think lots of the high end monitors coming out now have this feature.

I literally have my Neo G8 boxed up ready for Amazon to collect. The scanlines are on every Neo G8 and it's so ugly, only visible at 240hz, the monitor does not like being in a multi monitor setup in 240hz, constantly losing signal, just going black when launching a game in fullscreen etc so imo it's actually a 4k 120hz monitor, it's lovely at 4k 120hz it truly is but I couldn't overlook these issues for the price, I'll probably get the Neo G7 when it's on sale.

[@MrKill_SC]

Is it also mini LED?

[@rorynolan2322]

@@MrKill_SC ye apart from Hz both monitors are very similar, both have the same 1000plus dimming zones the same HDR rating which just to clarify the 2000hdr that Samsung advertises is basically a lie the real performance seems to be 1200-1400 nits peak depending on panel lottery so just be aware of that and you won't be disappointed in this monitor. I have the g7 I'll give you a mini review because this guy kinda didn't talk about some things I have an oled TV so some of my perspective comes from being acoustomed to the picture quality that one of those provides Things that impressed me The black levels are very impressive in most senerios the contrast is getting very close to oled levels. Motion clarity is also very good not oled good but unless your a professional gamer you will be more than happy This does provide a very decent HDR image Cons although I said it has a very good HDR image it's not as good as an oled even though on paper and it probably measures highlights being brighter for some reason it doesn't look that way to my eye my best guess why is because mini led is always having to choose between absolute brightness and bloom suppression were the pixel level dimming on oled and literally make any pixel as bright or as dark as it likes. Viewing angles are pretty poor, not the worst issue as your likely to be sat straight Infront of the thing but something to note The curve is on the extreme side and may or may not bother you That's about it really it's an overall very good monitor and I'll likely be very pleased with it, I will say there are some very interesting monitors just on the horizon and it may be worth waiting just a little longer
