For those who have issues with the resolution (working at 30 Hz) after connecting a macbook to it, to be able to work at 60 Hz, you will need to change the mode in System -> PC/AV Mode. Also change the resolution settings in the Macbook (display settings - hold option key and click over scaled, then select 60Hz)

[@tevinlimon8967]

One of my favorite things about Linus is his commitment to letting you know if a display’s monitor “HDR” is actually any good or not depending on how bright it can actually get.

[@SpunkyGo0se]

I think the bigger difference is whether the display has full array local dimming or not

[@James-cr8mt]

@@SpunkyGo0se this is absolutely more important. It doesn’t matter how bright a monitor can get if it can’t dim the darker zones.

[@mahbul27]

[@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 would love to see 4K monitors like these also being reviewed on your mac channel to see how suitable they would be with a mac mini, extending an iMac's display and also as workstation screen for macbooks and macpros.

[@AlanZeino]

I’m not sure what the benefit is, I have a 144hz 4K hooked up to my Mac and it’s not really worth it since I don’t game on macOS. Using the desktop at that refresh rate isn’t much to write home about.

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?

[@calabriamia6307]

@@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.

The stand seems really wobbly and as for my opinion on curved, I need it at my setup where my monitors are rather close. I had a MSI mag24c for the longest time and once I switched to my current ASUS VG259QM I noticed how much I missed having a curved screen. It was a big jump switching to a flat screen after 3 or so years playing games since it became so much harder to look into the corners are my mini map in any game.

[@Zombie101]

Interesting. I've never used a curved but I play on 24 flat. Thinking to upgrade to 4k and 27/28 inch. Just debating curved... I hear some love and some hate it

[@Exodious]

@@Zombie101 I personally love my curved monitors. I have a mag24c same as the guy above and absolutely love it. But you don't notice how convenient the curve is until you go to a flat monitor. It's amazing! I've also had an LG ultrawide curved monitor that I loved, and replaced it with a similar flat LG monitor, and definitely preferred the curved one to the flat.

[@Zombie101]

@@Exodious nice thank you! Just need to decide if VA is good enough for a console cause that's the tech in curved monitors

[@titodullion4928]

Is there also a 32" or 35" (i don't remember which one.) option available, like on the previous version?

[@K.R.X]

There should be. Besides last year model is still great

[@mizz1414]

Yes, there is, and it's amazing.

[@gavinw77]

There is only last year's 32" model. These are not replacements, they are extra product lines. So the previous version is still the current version if what you want is: 32" 1440p 10 bit color HDR600 240Hz

[@jakemeyer1702]

i had heaps of issues with screen flickering on certain games on my 32" G7. There is currently a class action in the US about the issues lots of people are having with this series of monitors and Samsung monitors in general. my advice would be to google 'screen flickering' before you buy and be ready to put your money towards a more reputable brand

Glad to see monitors coming with free sink and g sink both. Even better with. adaptive sink

[@derptyderp5287]

Would love to see the ring light up against a wall, I use the LG 27GN950 wall mounted and the light against the wall is quite nice... But it tends to add around 10% usage to the 3070 I'm using, so apart from older games it doesn't get to sync with the image.

[@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. The sync of the monitor to the light color isn't good in general. You could have a blank white screen and the LEDs will still stay a blight blu-ish white, even though the LEDs can do just regular white

I got this yesterday on a sale and holy sh*t this is an upgrade from my 144Hz 1080p monitor that I used as a main (which I now use as a second monitor). The G7 is an absolute beast!

[@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

I must say, I prefer that clasp style cable management over the channel style. The channel gets annoying since they usually have tabs jutting out at opposing sides to help trap the cable and it gets just awful. Sure the clasp style is way less elegant, but more functional and less of a headache.
