Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSRXXU 27" 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor - 240Hz, 1ms, 1440p QHD, Gsync, QLED, HDR600, HDMI, Displayport, USB

I have been heavily into monitors and after using a LG gl850 and it dying on me I wished to purchase a upgrade. And boy oh boy is this one. The monitor is a beast. Clean. I think there are a few things to say here.The curve - some people will like it and some will hate it. Just like marmite. I thought initially I would hate it however as soon as received it I loved it. The curve does not bother me in anyway and being that I'm in front of my screen all the time I barely even notice. Even when watching movies from afar it's great.Display - great however as stated above these monitors are prone to having scan lines. I have currently had two of these monitors and all I have had is scan lines on cyan colours and bright colours at the top left of my screen. However these do not appear when on a moving picture so I'll take it. You can try play the panel lottery of trying to find a panel without scanlines but that's up to you, how much time you wish to spend - hence the lottery. The colours are great and not as saturated as the lg high end gaming panels but honestly a beautiful clean panel. Now being that this is a VA panel there are some local dimming zones. This literally competes with current IPS panels. However one down fall is that when watching movies that are in different aspect ratios you will see that dimming not working properly on some of the zones and therefore giving a light bleed effect. As I said this monitor is a beast. But even a beast has its draw backs. Display however is amazing and with 240hz and crystal clear 1440p it's great. I have noticed some ghosting however so keep that in mind. Nothing major.The design. The stand is amazing. A proper cable tidying system built into the monitor stand, I love it as it allows for a clean set up. Keep in mind that the stand is big for this monitor so make sure you have enough room. The ambient lighting isn't distracting either. You have a choice of some colours however I stick with static red for mine due it matching my sennheiser set up. You'll get away with it not looking overly gamish. There is a small bezel around the monitor so if you're looking to dual monitor these it won't be completely seamless.Overall so far, I love this monitor. 240hz 1440p I can't go wrong. Even with its draw backs it's still the best you can buy and being that it's only competitor is Alienware with their 1440p 240hz IPS panel, at least these monitors are in stock and are cheaper. Pull the trigger and see if you like it. HDR and so on I have seen as being useless but that's not exactly my remit.

I wanted to wait til ive used this monitor for at least 2 months before i gave a review just incase of any issues etc but there has been none .I'm not a gamer but wanted a better monitor for editing and watching movies etc .i tried benq and isus monitors but they were all useless .i tried 4k and ips panels and again i had so many problems with backlight bleeds,poor quality etcso after some research i came across this monitor from samsung .it was a bit out of my ideal price range but i thought what the heck and I'm so glad i did .This monitor is brillianti was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews about the curve and having never owned one i was worried but i didn't need to .The curve is hardly noticeable whilst watching movies and even makes them appear better and as for editing there was no problems at all .the curve actually helps as your eyes don't have to dart about to much .Right out of the box the picture quality and colours are really good but if you invest in a calibration tool as i did boy o boy the screen comes to life .The colours are so life like and i cant advised more to invest in one .The 1440p quality is superb but for watching tv or movies download or stream in 4k and you wont lose out .There is some minor backlight bleed which all monitors have but mine was only 3 outta 10 so not to bad at all .hdr works fine but i guess the purest wont like it ,just make sure to go to windows hd color settings and adjust the brightness in there and obviously turn on hdr when you want to use it in windows .as all panels are different u cant give settings for everyone but turn the sharpness down to 56 and red to 49 if you aren't getting a calibration tool but i would highly recommend one even tho the stock set up is good .all in all a brilliant monitor and i highly recommend itkudos samsung :)

This is a great screen to use. The refresh rate is superb, the clarity and colours are great. This is my first curved screen and after 10 minutes or so using it I didn't see the curve any more. The clarity is really good and it has decent blacks too.The only drawback is that with HDR enabled it takes time to alt-tab between games and desktop sometimes as it does something which turns the screen off and then back on. So it's not easy to quickly alt-tab between something like Destiny 2 and DIM in Chrome, as it takes probably 3-4 seconds to switch over. I assume if you disable HDR it would be quicker, or run games in fullscreen window instead.For Star Wars: The Old Republic I have to run the game in fullscreen window as often the display does not detect any signal despite me playing the game at the time and the screen then turns off and back on. Very odd, but easily fixed by not running in full screen.I would recommend this screen for gaming as I enjoy the picture and having HDR does add something to games which support it. The OLED hasn't given me any issues with the viewing angle, "bright blacks" or any screen tearing. Although I have an Nvidia GPU, so run this with v-sync off and G-Sync enabled.
