![]() ![]() The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 has three response time overdrive modes: Standard, Faster and Extreme. In case your unit has this issue (not every unit is affected), the ‘fix’ is to reduce the refresh rate to ~200Hz, or lower in some cases.ĭue to its lower 165Hz native refresh rate, the Neo G7 isn’t affected by this, at least we haven’t seen any concrete reports of it – unlike it’s the case with the 240Hz Neo G8 variant. These lines would appear when certain patterns are shown on the screen. Samsung previous-gen G7, G9 and Neo G9 240Hz curved VA monitors are susceptible to visible horizontal scanlines. ![]() The screen also has a very low minimum brightness of just ~15-nits. Luckily, the actual 1,200-nit peak brightness is sufficient for punchy highlights. We’d like to clarify that Samsung’s specified 2,000-nit peak brightness and the ‘Quantum HDR 2000’ certification refer to unrealistic testing conditions and should be ignored. However, OLEDs have other drawbacks: they’re not as bright, they have the risk of burn-in and they’re only available in a few screen size/resolution combinations. A 4K OLED monitor, for instance, essentially has 8,294,400 dimming zones since each pixel can be individually turned off. In order to completely eliminate blooming, you’d need an OLED panel display. This is expected from this technology, and the Neo G7 has the least amount of blooming compared to the other mini LED displays currently available, mainly thanks to its high native contrast ratio. In particularly demanding scenes (night sky stars, fireworks, etc.), the light that illuminates small bright objects will bleed into the surrounding dimmed zones and create some blooming (or the halo effect). The screen gets a boost in peak brightness from the standard 350-nits for a 100% white window to a bit over 1,200-nits for smaller 10% highlights, all the while dark elements remain inky black thanks to the 1196 dimming zones spread across the entire panel. As a result, you get bright highlights and deep blacks at the same time. These zones can individually dim parts of the screen that are supposed to be dark without greatly affecting parts that are supposed to remain bright. The main reason to get the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 monitor is for its HDR support due to the 1196-zone full-array local dimming (FALD) mini LED backlight. Due to the gamma/contrast shifts on VA panels, the Neo G7 isn’t ideal for professional photo/video editing anyway, but you can do some basic content creation. The factory calibration is not good enough for color-critical work, so you’ll need a colorimeter for proper image accuracy. Some users prefer to use 125%-150% scaling here, while others find the native image usable too. Its 4K UHD resolution perfectly suits the 32″ viewable screen as you get a high pixel density of 138 PPI (pixels per inch), resulting in plenty of screen real estate with sharp text and details. There’s also an sRGB emulation mode available in case you prefer more accurate and natural colors for SDR content. ![]() The Samsung S32BG75 (Odyssey Neo G7) seemed the most promising mini LED alternative at reasonable pricing ever since its announcement, so let’s see how it stacks up! Image Qualityīased on a curved VA panel by CSOT with a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed and a high 4,000:1 static contrast ratio, the Samsung Neo G7 already delivers an exceptional performance with both – deep blacks and smooth motion clarity!Īdditionally, the monitor has a wide color gamut covering around 95% of the DCI-P3 color space for vibrant and saturated colors. Ever since the release of the Dell Alienware AW3423DW OLED gaming monitor at $1,300, mini LED displays had to drastically drop in price in order to stay competitive. ![]()
