Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 43 Inch Monitor SDR Settings - Make This Look Like an OLED! (Non HDR Setting)

This is my SDR settings video I promised to make for anyone struggling to get the settings on the Neo G7 just right. Keep in mind this might not be for everyone and is really meant to be a starting place to help you. I cover what settings to start adjusting after you get it to my personal settings that will be the easiest to adjust while still tailoring this to what may suit you best. Enjoy!
The Samsung Odyssey series is very popular with their always being a cool reason to buy one of the monitors such as the 1000R curve some have or the mini leds with high local dimming zones. That's why this G7 variation seems to come out of left field and go against the normal grain of what the G7 series monitors have been. This is basically a large smart TV disguised as a monitor but that might not be a bad thing, it just depends on what you need and want out of your monitor. There is plenty of upside here for people to enjoy but if you don't need or want some of the features here it might not be the best monitor for you. If you have any questions about this monitor that I don't answer in the video let me know in the comment section and I'll answer that for you there.

my odyssey g7 arrived last night, thank you for both SDR and your HDR settings videos, helped set a great base line, I enjoy setting up TV's and Monitors, Im in love with this monitor, ticks all boxes

[@ti253799]

Hey man your picture settings are almost spot on! Really good job achieving OLED level blacks on this! Just had too make a few adjustments, the picture was a bit too dark so i changed the shadow detail too -3. The color was also slightly over saturated so I changed it back too it’s default 25. I ended up with a deep, bright, colorful and accurate image, but thanks too you man for a great starting point!

Great video, I’ll be trying these settings when mine arrives on Thursday. I just bought one of these to replace my 4 month old 48” LG C2 because of burn-in. LG is replacing the panel under warranty and then it’s getting put in my sons room. The C2 has probably the best picture I’ve ever had on any TV but just too many downsides to use it as a monitor.

Thanks for this. There are a couple settings I plan to tweak now and then re-run the calibration process with x-Rite i1 Display Pro Plus.

[@liftbikerun]

This was an excellent place to start and I appreciate the video. The only issue I had was with the contrast settings, I primarily use this monitor for desktop use and I noticed the issue watching a youtube video where both the speakers were in black shirts and a dark background and there was zero definition, they looked like they were just two talking heads. I then looked up a contrast chart and noticed that out of 20 boxes, only one was visible, the other 19 were completely blended into the background (all 20 were supposed to be visible). Playing with the settings I noticed the following were the best: Dynamic Black Equilizer - 0 Contrast 50 Local Dimming High Contrast Enhancer 0 Shadow Detail -3 The above along with the remainder of your settings still gave me inky blacks with a much better desktop experience.

[@o0odark01o0o]

thanks for the review and settings videos, can you tell about the gray uniformity, DSE and possible other panel defects?

[@1UpNerdcore]

I told cover those aspects typically as hardware unboxed does a way better job than me on that. I can say this definitely isn’t uniform in terms of gray uniformity. It won’t have a great result on that when tested. For DSR it happens often because it’s a large VA panel it more noticeable in bright games or video. I trained eye will see it more often but I don’t know how much a regular user will notice it.

[@courtneyfaas1266]

Thanks for this update video and looking forward to the HDR version. With what you are seeing so far, would you prefer this monitor or the Aorus FV43U? I use my monitors for a lot of productivity but with renderings its nice to have to better picture quality as well as refresh rate for smoothness. (and maybe youre answer is neither, acceptable as well) Just really like the 43" screen real estate.

[@1UpNerdcore]

Since the Neo G7 has more features overall I would take it over the Aorus. The nits aren’t as high as the Aorus so keep that in mind if the you need a full 1000 nit peak brightness monitor but this has way more local dimming zones than the Aorus.

@@courtneyfaas1266 OLED is hands down better, even for productivity. The biggest deterrent is always going to be the burn in that can come from static UI elements.

Having received my G7 43" today, it really did look horrendous out of the box. My old Asus ROG PG279Q which I use as a secondary monitor looked much better, with stock settings. But these settings did help. Can't find any dead pixels either, so it's a good start. And like I hoped, I don't have to scale my desktop at all in 4K, so I have a good amount of real estate available.

[@randomguy36j98]

Hello brother, I truly appreciate this video, thank you. I really want to buy this monitor but its like 95% reviewers says bad things about it while 5% minority says otherwise that they dont experience any of ghosting or its very minimal...have you tried this at 144hz? is it "stable"? i dont know much about monitors, and since its my first time looking for 4K gaming monitor, I wanted to purchase this guy since I can also use it for watching movies..please advise thanks

[@1UpNerdcore]

I cover all of that in the video but in summary this is going to have ghosting and slower response time. Will you notice that or be bothered by it is the bigger question.

[@1UpNerdcore]

Almost all VA panels have ghosting especially if they are 1ms MPRT and not faster like 1ms GtG

[@randomguy36j98]

@@1UpNerdcore I was using acer Nitro 31.5 va panel with 240hz FHD I didn't really notice ghosting...

[@1UpNerdcore]

That’s because the more frames you display the more it will minimize ghosting. 240hz usually has minimal to no ghosting on VA panels because of its displaying 240 frames a second vs 120 or 144.

[@1UpNerdcore]

The more frames the smoother motion looks thus less ghosting

[@PragmaticTornado]

If I may ask, have you encountered any weird bugs, particularly when connecting via DP? Like a noisy picture made completely unusable at 144hz (but just a fairly discreet noise at 120hz - and completely gone at 60hz), or a weird flickering down at the bottom of the monitor? These are all just sporadic issues, which seem to present after the monitor "blacks out", such as after closing a game, or just turning it on for the day. I gave up and connected via HDMI instead. Now I have a wonderful new set of issues, such as Nvidia refusing to acknowledge that the brand new $3000 9.2 receiver I had connected to the monitor via eARC, was in fact a surround receiver and not stereo (a known issue for 10+ years apparently - thanks for looking into that Ngreedia). So I had to connect the monitor with passthrough on the receiver - well whaddya know, now I have max 4k120, _no_ HDR and YCbCr4/2/0 color format, which is apparently the absolute worst you can get. I've looked countless times for an alternative (with DP - swapping to an actual TV would do nothing for me since they only have HDMI) - is there really no other 43" VA panel NOT from Samsung with the same or better picture quality? As much as I fricking hate this hunk of electronics, it managed to somehow make Skyrim look like a new game with its fantastic colors and awesome black levels (for a VA), so ignoring the fact that my very first LCD panel back in 2005 or so probably had less latency than this, the image quality alone almost makes it a keeper.

[@1UpNerdcore]

I haven’t had any of those issues. If you are dead set on a VA panel the Aorus FV43U might be one to consider.

[@PragmaticTornado]

@@1UpNerdcore Yes, I just ordered an FV43U. And this was the very last time I ever bought a Samsung panel. Took me 3 tries last time with the Odyssey G9 / CRG9. If I may ask, how are the colors and black levels on the FV43U compared to the Neo G7 43"? Hopefully not too disappointing?

[@ferdaaltaylar]

Actually, this monitor is advertised as having a 144Hz refresh rate, but we can only achieve 144Hz in gaming mode, and gaming mode is only applicable when the ultrawide option is enabled. When using it in normal mode, we can utilize a refresh rate of 120Hz. The available resolutions and refresh rates are as follows: 3840x1600 at 144Hz and 3840x2160 at 120Hz. BTW !!! Nvidia 10 series gpus cant go higher than 120hz 3840x2160 , you should have at least Nvidia 2060 gpu for 3840x2160 144hz .

[@1UpNerdcore]

Just double checked this and thanks for the heads up! It further confirms to me the 144hz is just an over clocking feature between this and the strobing at 144hz my camera picks up.

[@1UpNerdcore]

I will cover this in my HDR settings video also

It’s closer but it won’t touch an oled in person. The backlight tech is different so OLED colors just pop more.

If you’re concerned with ghosting then you’ll meet an OLED or a monitor with a 1ms GtG response time and not this monitor.

Rather than faking OLED I’ll buy Oled 😂

[@1UpNerdcore]

OLED doesn’t have the nits this has so rather than have 350 nit peak brightness you could use this with these settings. Having options is a good thing not a bad thing.

@@1UpNerdcore I have LG C2 Oled as monitor and its peak brightness is around 800nits. HDR looks great on C2 even better than my brothers G7

@@whitedeath03 Yeah, OLED, the thing that create burn in problems ? lmao It's useless to buy an expensive monitor, if you need to always verify and check that there is no static things on the screen to avoid burning That's stressing, plus OLED can't be used for productivity, always because of this burn in problem So no, oled is not better on this point.

True, with extra burn in risk makes it more better

Please click google chrome, we want to see if the monitor can be used for browsing & checking e mail… old people don’t like to see the gaming part.. the game is for 14 y.o kids…

[@1UpNerdcore]

😂😂😂 why would you get a GAMING monitor to browse google chrome…this is for gamers not old people who just use web browsers

[@rockylee4696]

@@1UpNerdcore i have to buy it because of the discount & my voucher is about to expired. It’s huge & big. Other monitor is small & too shiny with glare without matte option. What is gaming monitor? We just need a big monitor for computer with a big discount. But no review yet if we can use this monitor for old people or for browsing ?
