Samsung Odyssey G7 S28

Overview

The Odyssey is a good choice for general productivity work, but creators needing accurate wide gamut coverage from their gaming monitor should look elsewhere. Samsung also failed 11 of 36 checklist items, half of which are attributable to Samsung advertising HDR capabilities, but delivering terrible HDR performance. When buying, just think of this as an SDR display.

The first 4K monitor in Samsung’s Odyssey lineup is good, but build quality and connectivity disappoint.

The Samsung G70A is excellent for gaming. It has a fast 144Hz refresh rate, and you can reach its max refresh rate with a 4k resolution over an HDMI connection because it has two HDMI 2.1 inputs. It has native FreeSync support, G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing, and motion looks smooth thanks to the quick response time. Unfortunately, it's not a good choice for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio.

The Samsung Odyssey G7 is a fantastic curved gaming monitor for anyone looking for the best of both worlds - with 240Hz at 1440p you have the benefit of speed and glorious resolution, and in a stylish package to boot.

How Samsung makes this a must-have for gamers are its additional features that help with gaming compatibility, no matter your setup choice. The monitor comes with both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility, allowing you to pair it with graphic cards of either brand to milk their full benefits. In addition, it has two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, and two USB 3.0 slots so that you can plug multiple setups and 4K120Hz gaming consoles. For comfort, it comes with a stand, and offers ergonomics like tilting, swivelling, pivoting, and height adjustment.
