So the question is, do I like the curve? Is 1000R the way forward for monitors? And the answer in my opinion is a resounding no. In fact, I hate this monitor's curve, I'm not a fan of an 1800R curve with a 16:9 aspect ratio display at the best of times, but 1000R is just ridiculous. Can't say who asked for this and ultimately we think will turn off more buyers than it will attract. Samsung are factory calibrating each Odyssey G7, and you can view the calibration results in the monitor itself. While Samsung does have a large deltaE tolerance of 5.0 for calibration - this should be 3.0 or ideally 2.0 - my monitor did pass with a sub 2.0 deltaE, according to Samsung. But how did it fare in my tests? The Samsung Odyssey G70B has low input lag for a responsive feel with high-frame-rate signals like at 144Hz and 120Hz. While the input lag increases with 60Hz signals, it's still low enough for casual gaming, but you'll notice delay with BFI enabled. For the lowest input lag you need to make sure you have the input label set to 'PC' and you're in Game Mode. With these settings, you can only send a fixed 144Hz refresh rate with VRR disabled, so we had to use a workaround to measure the input lag at 120Hz and 60Hz while still in Game Mode with the 'PC' input and VRR disabled.

We found that they are a great option when you don't want any monitors on your desk. They are typically very stable, and they can support heavy monitors. However, we discovered that they can be more challenging to install and may require you to drill holes in your wall. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libelous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any person or entity; Grommet mounts: A grommet monitor mount is a type of mount that attaches to your desk through a hole in the surface. We found that they are typically more stable than C-clamp monitor stands and can support heavier monitors. However, we discovered that they can be more challenging to install and require drilling a hole in your desk if there's no pre-drilled hole.

Input latency is a non issue with this display, producing results that are in line with the Omen X 27 and faster than some other 240Hz+ displays we've tested. This is a highly responsive monitor in all regards, which is perfect for competitive gaming. When selecting a mount for the Samsung 32" Odyssey G7 monitor, we have learned from our experience that one of the critical factors to consider is the supported weight. We have encountered various mounts and analyzed their capabilities in supporting different weights. It's important to choose a mount that we can rely on to safely and securely hold the weight of our monitor. We have witnessed firsthand the potential dangers and risks of exceeding a mount's weight limit. It is not a situation we want to find ourselves in, as it could damage both our valuable monitor and the mount itself. The Samsung Odyssey G7 marks a number of firsts in the world of gaming monitors. It’s the first monitor we’ve seen to feature a dramatic 1000R curvature and the first with a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel that boasts a 1ms GTG (grey to grey) response time. The native FreeSync VRR support works over HDMI and DisplayPort connections, while G-SYNC only works over a DisplayPort connection. Unfortunately after firmware update 1009.3, VRR doesn't function correctly with the refresh rate set to 60Hz, like if you're using a fixed 60Hz source like an older gaming console. However, it still works if you set it to something higher and the frame rate of your source drops down to 60 fps.

And there’s also a hook that can be folded out at the rear of the stand, which is handy for keeping your headset out of the way and your desk free of clutter. Samsung Odyssey G7 32in review: What’s image quality like? What's even better about the Odyssey G7, this sort of performance is largely held throughout the refresh range. When dipping to 200Hz we saw the most overshoot of any refresh rate tested, but given the 2.5ms response time this isn't too bad and in practice you don't see much inverse ghosting. The C32G75T comes set to its Custom picture mode, where all image controls are available. Despite our efforts, we could not improve upon the already excellent picture quality and accuracy. The only thing we changed was the sharpness slider, which needed to be reduced to 56 to remove a slight ringing effect. In HDR mode, you can adjust brightness; we maxed it and set Local Dimming to Auto for an excellent HDR image.

Samsung has done a good job on the design front. The build quality is excellent, befitting of a high-end flagship product. While most of the outer surface is plastic, including the wide-pronged stand, it's a nice high quality plastic with a solid matte finish.
