Reach the height of winning. Swivel, tilt, and adjust your monitor until all enemies are in perfect view. Your display can be moved freely so you can find total gaming comfort. Surround yourself in every scene. With core lighting, add personality to your setup with multiple color modes that leap off the screen and into your reality. Gaming escapes beyond the screen with CoreSync technology that matches your game's on-screen colors for world-blending immersion.

Other areas like the front-facing RGB LED elements have also been refined. The chin on this monitor is a little too large, but at least the rest of the bezels are normal in size. It's a bit of a much of a muchness to be honest and all three will be virtually identical while gaming. The Odyssey also ends up marginally ahead of the Eve Spectrum 4K, which uses an LG panel, while performance is much better than most of today's 32" 4K monitors. Unsurprisingly, the basic local dimming doesn’t work wonders. With only eight zones, it’s simply not refined enough to make amends for the IPS panel’s low native contrast ratio. It does make me wonder why the G70A doesn’t use the same HDR 600-certified QLED Quantum Dot panel as the Odyssey G7, but I suspect it’s an effort to keep the price down.

You can adjust the overdrive when the FreeSync option is disabled in the OSD, but I don't think any of those settings are relevant.

Design and FeaturesIf you’ve seen any of Samsung’s monitors from the past few years, the Odyssey G7 will look familiar. Its bezel is nearly frameless, with just a bit of plastic protruding out from the panel, and its two-legged stand boasts height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, with LED lighting at the pivot point. Unlike other Samsung monitors, it also has a bit of lighting along the bottom bezel, giving it just a bit more of a gamer aesthetic. It doesn’t have as many color options as typical RGB gear, and it won’t sync with the lights in your PC, but it has enough available colors that you can probably get it to match, with a few cool effects for that extra bit of flair (like breathing or rainbow). The Odyssey G7 looks good, though the stand is very deep, so make sure you have enough room on your desk – the 32” model requires about a foot of space from the edge. The Odyssey G7 S28 is one of several new generation 4K 144Hz IPS displays for gaming, mirroring the specs of popular monitors such as the Gigabyte M28U, and the panel used here appears to be the same model from Innolux. It's a little disappointing how Samsung has ruined the naming scheme for the Odyssey G7, but with that cleared and out of the way, we don't want to get caught up in that too much. At 120Hz the G7 S28 delivers great performance, so if you're thinking of using this display with a modern console, it's a great choice. Once again it's not really any different to other monitors that use the same panel, but it's still decent. At 60Hz, same story, overshoot is a little high for my liking but performance overall is great and overshoot artifacts are minimal. The Samsung Odyssey G7 looks like it could be a dream display for gamers looking to avoid any FOMO given that for most folk hunting for the best gaming monitor, the market is split into two distinct areas that depend mostly on what genres you play and how you want to optimize your experience.Hyper action made seamless. G-Sync compatibility keeps the GPU and panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen-lag, and image tears. Fast-action and complex game scenes are stable and stutter-free with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for your competitive edge. Colors were vibrant and beautiful, and HDR – while likely not on par with the TV in your living room – is still worth using in games that support it, for those extra highlights and more accurate colors (since SDR will be a tad oversaturated on wide gamut displays like this). Shadow of the Tomb Raider is still one of my favorite examples of HDR done well, whether you’re in the colorful Peruvian jungle or watching light stream through a hole in the wall of a dark cave. Given Samsung's recent history of quality control issues, we wanted to test this display to see if any of the same issues are present. Instead of arranging this review sample from Samsung, we bought this monitor from retail for testing. As we move down the refresh rate range, as gamers playing with variable refresh enabled might do, response performance is consistent. The response time average only increases from 4.90 to 5.08ms at 60Hz which is a very small difference. However, overshoot does increase, and there are no real signs of variable overdrive being used here. Seize winning control. The incredibly-low 2ms input lag brings never-before-experienced response accuracy to catch notoriously-agile enemies. It's so fast, that action begins instantly when you turn on the screen, with virtually no delay between your peripherals and the game.
