The new Odyssey G7 brings to the table a 28-inch 4K 144Hz IPS panel aimed at gamers. It's called the LS28AG700 (usually with even more letters and numbers after that depending on your region), but for this review we'll be shortening it to the S28 model. Samsung also advertises it as the "Odyssey G70A 28-inch" or the "Odyssey G7 UHD 28-inch" in various countries. 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. The Odyssey G7 S28 includes one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC as well as two real HDMI 2.1 ports. The HDMI 2.1 ports are 40 Gbps ports, not the full 48 Gbps, but this makes no real world difference, as these HDMI 2.1 ports have more than enough bandwidth at 40 Gbps for full 4K 144Hz at 10-bit RGB. This means support for the full panel capabilities with inputs like game consoles. If you want a high refresh rate for buttery-smooth graphics or to give you an edge in competitive titles like Apex Legends and Call Of Duty: Warzone then you're usually limited to a 1080p resolution. On the flip side, anyone wanting to enjoy crazy 4K graphics on games like Red Dead Redemption 2 will have to reel in that refresh rate to something around the 60Hz mark, At 144Hz, the G7 S28 performs pretty well. The response time average registers in under 5ms, and the level of overshoot is minimal for the majority of transitions. This leads to a really solid cumulative deviation average of under 500, right where I like to see modern IPS displays. Refresh compliance of over 90% is excellent, too, suggesting this panel is comfortably capable of refreshing at 144Hz.

Cumulative deviation is right in line with the M28U and VG28UQL1A, only a couple of units separate these monitors, which is to be expected as the overdrive settings and panel are all very similar. This gives us a mid-tier modern IPS experience which is exactly what you want from this technology today, and the only way Samsung could have improved performance further would be through variable overdrive. SDR brightness is mediocre, topping out at just 313 nits. This should still be fine for most use cases, but those in really bright environments may not find that to be enough. Minimum brightness is good though, sufficient for use in dark environments. 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.Logo Detection and Screen Saver are two functions you can use on your Samsung OLED monitor. They will protect your screen’s image retention. It’s a shame that many aspects of the G70A feel like afterthoughts, particularly given that Samsung is evidently capable of doing better. These missteps aren’t enough to drastically damage the overall rating – after all, panel performance is by far the most crucial element of any monitor – but if you’re a next-gen console gamer, I’d lean towards the sturdy and equally well-specified Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A. If you’re a PC gamer, meanwhile, the original Odyssey G7 still reigns supreme. 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're also getting adaptive sync support and compatibility for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for a tear-free gaming experience and a funky LED light built into the rear of the monitor to illuminate the wall with some mood lighting, though this sadly isn't RGB, nor will it sync to your other peripherals or react to what's on your display like a Philips Hue device. tried out my pc also and resident evil 6 was lush. coming from a ben q HD design monitor I am very happy

When compared to other monitors showing their best performance at their highest refresh rate, the G7 S28 performs as expected. It's slightly slower than the two other display's we've tested to use the same Innolux panel, the Gigabyte M28U and the Asus VG28UQL1A, but it also has lower overshoot than those displays.

The most accurate mode I could find is the sRGB mode, and this is how I'd recommend most people use the monitor for SDR content.

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. But after having this monitor for only 1 month I have 3 dead pixels the HDR is not good it turned up in a sealed box without the screen protector, and is missing instructions guessing Samsung was having an off day. 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. Looking at response times, the Odyssey G7 S28 is similar to other Odyssey monitors in that you cannot adjust the overdrive settings when adaptive sync is enabled. The vast majority of buyers will be using adaptive sync with this display when hooked up to a PC, so we're only going to test this mode.

In contrast, the original G7 is a 1440p 240Hz 27" curved VA display, otherwise known as the LC27G75T, so clearly these are two very different products and you don't want to be confusing the C27G7 with the S28AG7 model.
