NOTE: title updated to reflect these 2 monitors as my BEST picks for 2024 'LCD' PS5 monitors. There are new 32" OLED monitors which you may prefer which were released this year.

@@seifbuys Thanks! i always wanted an oled as a monitor because i also have oled as a tv. but unfortunately they are always in 21:9 format and have built-in fans. since I prefer to play on the monitor like you, I wanted to test the Samsung. I currently have 1800r and I think 1000r will also fit well. I use it for ps5 and Series x.
Ya I hear ya! I'm hoping one day PS5 and Xbox will support the ultra wide format so I could justify buying one of those 21:9 monitors myself and experience 1800R. Maybe on the yet to be released pro console versions for this generation🤞
@@seifbuys Today the Neo G7 finally arrived. The picture is perfect! Unfortunately, I have the problem that after about 1 hour of playing Hogwarts, the picture goes black for 2 seconds. Then it comes back. After a few minutes it went black again. more frequently. Until the game crashes. I had never played that before and had played it for 20 hours. It was the same in another game. Did you have that too? Was on the Xbox Series X
@@masterbenjamin3348 Hey! sorry not sure how i missed responding to this 🤦♂️. Def sounds like a defective unit in that case man. Can't say I've experienced the same issue or any issues at all so far. I've only been using it for ps5 and macbook though not sure if that matters.
Just purchased this based on your review, so thank you! I read in comments below that you decided to stick to the G7 for every day use. Are there any setting changes that you can share to take advantage of it working for my PS5?
Thank you for watching Austin! the only settings i played with was turning on and off contrast enhancer, was pretty satisfied with the image quality and refresh rate out the box.. I'm sure there's people somewhere on the internet who have some advice though, will let you know if I come across anything.
This is false I got this a week ago and I have had multiple issues with this monitor and it screen flickers every 2 minuets when I try playing any game I took this piece of shit back and went back to my old monitor and ZERO ISSUES
Sure, thanks for watching! I believe you may have received a faulty unit. Happens. Can confirm I have had no such issues with my Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and have been using daily for 10 hours or often longer for several months now.
Nice break down of the product in day-to-day scenarios, after searching a lot, finally I ordered mine as this this serves the home office and console set up, got it for like $700...the quality on RU-vid looks great when side by side with other monitors, can't wait to try it out :)
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Ya makes sense, that's why I ended up buying it too.. watched a lot of RU-vid videos hah. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am 🙏
The LG is just massively overprized. It is not even in the same ballpark as the Samsung with its shitty fake hdr. In this price class you should absolutely watch for good hdr and you can even get new QD Oleds for this. Both options are pretty good choices with its own drawbacks. If you do much office work and productivity I would take miniled, otherwise Oled absolutely kills it for content consumption and pixel response times and perfect contrast of course. We finally live in good gdr times.
Another great video, you are the only person who has spoken about certain points on these monitors and the Sony M9 monitor for usage with a m1 powered MacBook Pro and PS5, subscribed 🎉
I share your opinion about VA being better than IPS because of better contrast but fading colors on different angle views. I care about what is in front of me, not what someone else around the monitor sees.
Bros a rare breed of samsung mac users ahaha respect, samsung is the goat of displays thank you for this video the neo is on sale at best buy and I'm definitely pulling trigger
Hey Sanket, I think if you're looking for the better color accuracy, you'll probably want to go with the GQ950, but I edit videos for RU-vid just fine on my Neo G7. If i really care about color accuracy I just reference/ color grade on my macbook pro which is more color accurate than any of these monitors. The curves on the Neo G7 might distract or annoy you when video editing or photoshop. I personally don't have any issue with it though.
@@seifbuys I don't have a MacBook and not planning to get one because I have high-end PC specs like 4090 and i9 13900k and I was impressed with the odessy neo-G7 gaming performance and I wanted to go with G7 but because my work is video and photo editing I thought I should go with lg 32gq950 because it's more color accurate but after watching your review I am confused which one should I go with Btw I already own a 24-inch 1080p monitor but it's not color-accurate and doesn't compliment my PC specs that's why I'm searching for a good 4k 32-inch monitor that is good for gaming and productivity uses
@@sanketjadhav2481 Oh I see! in that case I would go with the GQ950 Sanket. You'll be losing out on the better contrast of the Neo G7, but in return you're getting a flat panel with slightly better color accuracy.
I want to ask one thing about neo g7. Problem with eyes strain. Do you notice it for example when you playing PS5 more that 30 minutes? Honestly I have already tried all possible settings neo g7. As if there is sand in the eyes (((((
Hey! can't say I've had any issue personally and I've been mainly using it for productivity/work these days (every day since I bought it pretty much).. literally using it now to reply to you haha. But I do know there is a setting called 'Eye Care' in 'Menu' >> 'Picture' >> 'Eye Care' if you want to try that see if it helps without impacting the image quality too much..
@@seifbuys 'Eye Care', yes) I`ve already tried this, but it didn`t help(((( some bloggers talk about flicker. I notice it when i played PS5 and VRR is off (try take slow mo 240hz via iphone). When i turn on VRR flicker is gone, but it not resolve eyes problem ((
Ya I did quite a bit actually, even asked SpawnPoiint for his opinion since he was one of the first to get that 27" lg oled monitor. He mentioned the text clarity on the LG 27GR95QE-B is not as sharp because it's 1440p and recommended the LG GQ950 over it if I was going to use it for work and ps5. Made sense to me plus the risk of burn in when using the monitor for work is all too real. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 gives you black levels and contrast that is about 80% as good as oled imo, has much better text clarity than the 1440p oled monitors currently available, and I just appreciate the bigger 32inch screen size for both work and gaming tbh (I tried 27 inch with the Sony InZone M9 and wasn't my cup of tea even on my fairly small desk).
@@seifbuys Thank you for the detailed reply. I also had the inzone m9 and while the size didn't both me, the searching for input happened way too often and way too long. It's good to know the curve doesn't both you for productivity. I'd be using a monitor alongside my ps5 for photo and video editing.
@@Aariahjames Np! Sweet, ya I ran into same issue with the InZone M9 actually. And cool, ya I love it for editing my RU-vid videos and all, and only thing I would say is the colors are not too 'accurate' and maybe I could dabble with settings and all to get them closer to whatever 'accurate' is but I just reference my macbook pro display when color grading and that solves that.
hmm what makes you say that? but yes! having a bigger screen definitely has its benefits over the monitors, at least for single player games. There are now 4k OLED gaming monitors as well which makes the decision of which is best even less clear cut.
Wonder for this monitors never try curved monitor , about samsung have speakers for my ps5 but LG have AMD FreeSync and NVidia G-Sync ( wonder this worth it) , samsung only for amd. Use one monitor for PC and PS5.
Hey Aleksandar, thanks for watching! Personally, I think the benefits of higher contrast outweigh the cons. So I would still go with Samsung so long as you are okay with a curved monitor.
Just bought neo g7. Will be using with ps5 only. What speakers do you recommend? They will need to plug into monitor. I have also a headset pulse. But sometimes l like speakers and this monitor doesnt have any!
Glad to hear Rob! hope you enjoy it as much as I have been. I haven't tried any gaming speakers myself so can't say. I always use headset when gaming on the monitor.. but tbh it's good that this doesn't have speakers because if it did it would be horrible anyway (that's what i've noticed on monitors that have speakers built in) so we might have ended up paying more for something we would never use. My thoughts anyway.
Sweet, happy you managed to get your hands on one. I just stuck with defaults tbh and turn on contrast enhancer when I feel like it. Interested to hear what you find works best
Worth mentioning VA is actually quite hard to produce at the level and quality that Samsung does. In the TV space VA is pretty amazing and the go-to for traditional panel technologies but in the monitor space, it's pretty much only Samsung who is producing them with such great levels of colour space coverage, low response times and mitigated black smearing. The Neo G7 is an exceptional VA panel, particularly among monitors. A lot of TV manufacturers who have good VA panels also source their panels from Samsung. Additionally, VA's native contrast ratio helps to significantly reduce blooming in MiniLED full-array local dimming, so that's the cherry on top.
@@seifbuys He's half correct from the information I can find, TCL began producing HVA (their branding for fast VA) panels via their CSOT manufacturing arm but this technology is apparently derived from patents based on the technology Samsung itself produced for their Neo G7 and G8 and G9. Patents which they sold at the end of 2022 to TCL. Since then, Samsung have subcontracted TCL to produce panels for the very same monitors, meaning that newer G7s and such use TCLs HVA CSOT panels from 2023 and beyond, but it is the same technology just different manufacturer. It is also why most Samsung TVs and monitors using VA source their panels from TCL since 2023. So I was not wrong, but he's not wrong either. Either way, it's the exact same technology for high response VAs that have no black smearing. It makes no difference, the patents being sold and panels being made by TCL is actually a good thing for MiniLED technology since good VA technology is now more widely available outside of Samsung. There are other brands now using the same technology and branding it with terms like "Rapid VA" such as MSI. You can find information on this patent handover on HDTVTest.co.uk, the channel's website for news and information. I can't post a direct link due to RU-vid deleting comments with links. You can also search "Samsung Display Sells its patents to TCL" to find many more articles on the subject.
In short that means if you bought the Neo G7 in 2022, it uses a Samsung VA, and after 2022 then it will probably be using a TCL CSOT panel based on the same technology, unless you were sold old stock. It makes no difference at the end of the day.
I wonder if I could get your opinion on something wasn't sure what monitor to get won't be using it for a pc for a while I don't have the desktop stuff that cost more I had my eye on 3 monitors odyssey g7 neo 32 odyssey g7 neo 43 and odyssey g9 49 what would be best for ps5 and movies I couldn't find g8 at jb hi fi or Harvey Norman I also had my eye on alienware aw3423dw but I saw a review from RU-vid he said it wasn't a good choice for the ps5
hmm okay so if you're looking at monitor sizes in the 40 inch range and up which would be best for movies.. I would start considering the LG C3 lineup.. I think it would be better for movies and gaming (but not too well suited for desktop use). If desktop use outside of gaming and movies is in your horizon then i would check out all the new 4k OLED options at the 32 inch screen size from different brands that have been recently released. I believe LG, alienware, ASUS, and samsung recently launched some amazing monitors OLED monitors at that size that also have good enough text clarity for desktop use. But if you're worried about oled burn in which honestly would make sense if you're primarily using for desktop use at some point, then VA panels on the 32 inch Odyssey Neo G7 might still be the move. I heard a lot of issues from my friends with the Odyssey G9 with his PC.. and he bought it twice and they both had issues so idk on that. Hope that helps!
@seifbuys thank you so much I'm new to getting a monitor and pc stuff I just heard about the burn stuff I didn't know that existed until now I probably stream on my ps5 I hope that burn doesn't happen
@@redmistofthebloodymist3383 Glad to be of help! 🙏 yes, I don't think it's an issue on these newer OLED monitors because they know people will be using it for desktop use.. but we can't know for sure I guess.
@@redmistofthebloodymist3383 Hey man! looks like reviews are dropping for the new OLED gaming monitors.. we got SpawnPoiint reviewing LGs here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FqTGbb3k-wI.htmlsi=kEkyWCnafmvFKGby and BadSeed reviewing ASUS's new one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R1Gjt0oRij0.htmlsi=mA8vqIz2bOU5PGVL personally i think im leaning LG right now 🤔
@seifbuys thanks for letting me know they both look good well I have lot of time to think I'm saving up monitor desk chair hoping to get the monitor Nov
Would be better to buy the Neo G7 over the Acer Predator XB323QK mainly for PS5? Also DTS X Headphone on the GQ950 connected to speakers make a difference? Out of these what would be the best choice?
Hey Ismael, I would choose the Odyssey Neo G7 over the Acer Predator and the GQ950. I didn't use the DTS X headphone port on the gq950 and not sure if it makes a difference for speakers as it is a headphone port. I haven't heard anybody say it is a big selling feature though. In my opinion the image quality and immersion in terms of the black levels and contrast on the Odyssey Neo G7 make it a much better choice for gaming.
Can you do on a oddasey g7 vs neo g7 My g7 was I guess defective which I got it brand new send it for repairs twice and they can't fix it so I order the neo g7 getting it tomorrow there both 1000r curved what is the difference beside the extra 700$ difference?
Hey Frankie, the old G7 is only 1440p, doesn't have as many local dimming zones or mini led and is overall just less capable than the neo G7. You can see all the differences side by side on Rtings website here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-g7-c32g75t-vs-samsung-odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75/14315/33691?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
I’m highly interested in this monitor. I’m more towards 60Hz single player console games, especially RPG/Open world games. Doing productivity works (excel, word, web browsing) Previously, i was into Dell G32223Q but seeing the atrocious input lag of ~20ms at 60Hz, i held my purchase. And Dell AW3225QF having potential burn in issues as it’s a QD OLED panel, and input lag of ~12ms at 60Hz. Not to mention it’s very pricey. But this is my first going to experience VA panel & curved display.
Sounds good! I have been using the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 daily since I made this video for work and gaming (both story games and multiplayer) and no complaints to be honest. The only thing I am thinking now is maybe I want to try out one of the many new 32 inch OLED 4K gaming monitors that have recently been released. There's a risk of burn in but I'm curious to see if anything actually happens myself and if the text clarity is as good as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.. might make a video comparing if i'm able to get my hands on one of those monitors.
@@seifbuys another question: did you run into any flickering issues so far? Especially when playing ps5 games that run 60hz or even during productivity works? When i dived deep into several reddit forums, many reported flickering issues on neo G7, especially when the FPS dropped around 50-80Hz.
@@zaryl2k Interesting, can't say i've run into any issues with flickering on my end on mine, no. But I am aware Samsung has somewhat of a reputation for QA issues/differences between panels. Though honestly I've experienced issues with LG monitors flickering and retaining images (even tho it's an IPS) so who knows. Just gotta hope you get one that works proper the first time I guess.
Do you know if the Neo G7’s auto dimming is not as aggressive as an OLED tv like the LG C2. I just ordered a Neo G7 after the LG C2 brightness dimming started getting really annoying
Hey Monte, can't say I've experienced or noticed this 'auto dimming' on neither my LG CX oled tv nor my Samsung odyssey neo G7. Hope the neo G7 serves you well!
@@seifbuys ok thank you! Yea I do know the Neo G7 has much higher brightness, especially in the whites, compared to the LG C2. So I think that will help as well. I love the C2 but yea when it’s a screen of mainly white or yellow or any bright color, it just seems to be not bright enough to feel punchy. Overall I know the color is better on OLED but then the brightness is lower. So I’m excited to try out the Neo. Great video btw!
Hey Joseph, i've just been using default settings. Sometimes I'll turn on contrast enhancer mode for some extra umf but that's it. Also make sure refresh rate is maxed out for ps5.
@@seifbuys how bout local dimming? Contrast looks fantastic when LD is on high but the blooming gets a lot more noticeable and response times get slower. Also idk if it’s just me but I found the ps5 to look better at 120 over 165hz as it starts looking a smidge blurry in some rpg?
@@josepharan484 Hey bro, not sure tbh, I think the default, wtv that is, but i'll double check when Im home and let ya know. Ya makes sense with the refresh rate, ps5 max is 120 anyway
Thanks! Def my fave monitor so far 🙏. As for the audeze, both the audeze penrose and the new audeze maxwell have non replaceable batteries as far as I know. The new Audeze Maxwell has an 80 hr battery life though which I can confirm is accurate/not inflated for advertising.. so if there i'm ever is any battery degradation, I imagine it would still beat out most replaceable battery gaming headsets for some time to come in terms of battery life. If you're considering the new audeze maxwell though def also consider the new turtle beach stealth pro, I bough both and loving them though I still prefer that audeze sound, there might be some features on the new turtle beach stealth pro that you prefer.. including but not limited to replaceable batteries. Though I think they too are proprietary, can't say for sure.
Hey man, thanks for watching! It is not working perfect, like sometimes the monitor will angle down slowly over time and I'm not able to tilt it up and down with ease, but for my Neo G7, currently using the 'VIVO Heavy Duty Single 17 to 35 inch Monitor Pneumatic Spring Arm Stand': amzn.to/45kupPq Though if I had a bigger/more normal size desk (mine is tiny) and if I had a little more room behind my desk, I would have went for the 'VIVO Premium Aluminum Heavy Duty Monitor Arm for Ultrawide Monitors up to 49 inches and 33 lbs': amzn.to/3Ov3p9X Currently considering trying out a much more expensive ergotron though to see if it will allow more ease in maneuverability while maintaining space saving on my tiny desk: amzn.to/3oppgF9 Best of luck deciding!
Hi thanks for the dimostration.. what do you think instead about samsung odissey g7 g70b? i don't like curved monitor on a 32"....and neo g7 is not g-sync like g7 g70b.......is better odissey g7 g70b or lg gq950 ?I also really like the lg
Hey Diego, while I don't have personal experience with the samsung g70B myself, Rtings had this to say: "The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a higher-end version of the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, so it's better overall. The main difference is that the Neo G7 has a VA panel with Mini LED backlighting, resulting in a much better contrast and local dimming feature. It also gets brighter in HDR, particularly with smaller highlights. On the other hand, the G70B has better motion handling as there's less overshoot." sourced from here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75-vs-samsung-odyssey-g7-g70b-s32bg70/33691/34834?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
whereas they had this to say when comparing the g70b to the LG gq950: "The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 and the LG 32GQ950-B are both excellent 4k gaming monitors. They each have a 144Hz refresh rate, but the LG is overclockable to 160Hz for a slightly smoother feel. The LG gets much brighter in HDR to make highlights pop, but if you want to use the monitor in a well-lit room, the Samsung has better reflection handling. Also, the Samsung has better motion handling with 60Hz signals, but the LG has lower input lag at 60Hz for a more responsive feel." sourced from: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-32gq950-b-vs-samsung-odyssey-g7-g70b-s32bg70/33379/34834?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
@@seifbuys ok thank u very much I know samsung remains the best,I read all the specifications and I know the VA is better for that, many peoples say the neo g8 even better for the anti-reflective. I will consider carefully and thank again
Okay the penn role I can see my main question is it like the oceanbeach elite 800 were I need to update every few months ? I'm waiting on my geo g7 due to the fact the g7 was defective at purchase and gave up on it ,#1 #2 im currently using the ps5 headset can you make a comparison on the penn role vs ps5 headset ? Pls
Hey Frankie, thanks for watching! okay, so no, the Audeze Penrose doesn't require an update every few months. I've only updated it once and had it for pretty much a year now. Though I do recommend you buy the new Audeze Maxwell headset instead of the Penrose unless the Penrose is a lot cheaper or you really want simultaneous bluetooth and wireless. As for your second question, I have already made a video comparing the Audeze Penrose to the 'PS5 Headset' I assume by PS5 headset you are talking about the Sony H9, if so, it's mentioned in the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KKhlx1SMFOg.html If instead you are talking about the PS5 Pulse 3D Headset, then all the headphones I talk about in the above video are better than that PS5 headset in every way except price.
@@frankiemojica2517 oh yes, I believe they just changed the colour and called it new. I bought the original pulse 3D headset when i bought my ps5 and sold it almost immediately. The sound just can't compare to any of the more premium headsets. It is definitely just a budget headset which is definitely good for the price but the sound quality and overall features are outmatched by all the headsets I talk about in my headset video. The Audeze Maxwell is definitely the best PS5 headset by a lot (I finally received mine couple days ago and have been using it daily).. so definitely buy that if you are looking for the best PS5 headset and have the budget for it ofcourse.
Thanks Michal! interesting, those are both the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.. only thing I can think of is that they're probably just different model numbers for different regions. Like Europe vs North America. I can't say for sure though.
Hey Craig, yes confirming they should work with Mac Studio M2 with no issues. They will not 'power it' though. You will have to plug in your max studio into a power outlet like normal.
@@seifbuys thanks so much ahh yes they don't have usb-c ports? silly question what would be the best setup for lets say the neo g7 with a ps5 and mac studio? would you put the studio through HDMI? thanks again
It will look weird if you have them exactly side by side stuck to each other. But with some space in between you can put the Neo G7 side by side with a flat monitor. That's what I do and it works great for me.
The text clarity is great! One of the best gaming monitors for text clarity actually. I work on this monitor more than I use it for gaming and no complaints.
@@nastronomical Yes, on the samsung odyssey neo G7 that I review in the vid. The LG GQ950 also has really clear text but I think the samsung is slightly better and has all the benefits i mention with the better black levels and contrast.
Hey Frankie, I just googled God Of War Ragnarok wallpaper and this was one of the first ones I came across. Wish there were more high quality ones tbh so I can switch it up.
Hey Kardamon, that Myolnir thor hammer came with the God of War Jotnar limited edition. Not sure you can buy it still, I checked Amazon though and looks like you can buy other Thor hammer replicas but not the exact one you see in this video.
I had the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7. I ended up returning it. The blooming was too strong and the highlights were muted most of the time compared to my Acer Predator X27, which unfortunately got defective. Also the supposed better contrast didn't really feel any better, it felt crushed so that details would be lost and turning off contrast enhancer or lowering the black equalizer would make the contrast worse than on a IPS panel, because of the aggressive local dimming that you need in order to reach bright HDR highlights. Colors weren't accurate on my unit either. It was actually extremely bad. Extremely oversaturated red & blue that felt like it's hue was shifted heavily. It just wasn't worth it in my opinion. I would rather hold off until the 32 inches 4K QD-OLED monitors hits the market.
thanks for sharing Optimus! I can see what you mean with the panel looking a tad oversaturated in some scenarios. very valid points you raised! Haven't bothered me enough to return it though/still think it's the best 4k monitor with commendable HDR at this screen size that we'll have for the next while. when an OLED comes out with 4k I imagine I may stay away because I use this a lot for work and burn in risk is very real. will have to wait and see!
You are most welcome Lenni! if you're shopping for a monitor now, make sure to consider the new oled 4k 32 inch monitors.. idk if they're all out yet but look interesting and thanks for watching!

@@ronnienewman8079 it means it's native 4k but can be downscaled to the lower resolution of 1440p if needed. 4k is better than 1440p though so not sure why you'd want to do that unless trying to get refresh rates above 120hz maybe like the monitor can go up to 165 hz if you're gaming on a PC i'm pretty sure.
huh? can't say i've noticed any black smearing and neither have i heard any professional reviewer bring that up as an issue with samsung odyssey neo G7. The only black smearing i've ever experienced was on a much cheaper LG monitor, the 32GN600-B
@@seifbuys It's a dual t.v./monitor. I went through two Odyssey's before finding out that the LG C series is a better monitor than the odyssey line even though it's listed as a t.v. If you get your hands on one, you'll see what I mean.
@@SooHooSamaSito Ya fair enough I know, I've got the 65" LG CX and love it.

@@seifbuys Spot on with the size issue and it being on a desk. However, I do find the C7 to be quite comfortable to the eyes at about 3-4 ft of distance which amazes me. It's the quality control issues and the scammy warranty program from Samsung that concerns me in regards to their products. I have had bad experiences with numurous televisions and monitors from Samsung and a lot of folks may not realize that some t.v.s are not only more affordable, but they work better than Samsung's products, even as monitors.

Hi there, I have a question for you, I brought two different gaming monitor one was 27 inch and the other was 32 inch both were curved, I liked the 32 inch one cause it was a bit bigger, I'm still thinking of getting the Samsung Neo g7 32 inch gaming monitor, but here's the thing no built in speaker, which is a bummer. No worries I'll get a good mini sound bar for it, and this doesn't support allm, but however it's at least support vrr though, which it's alright with me, now every time I tried looking for a different similar 32 inch gaming monitor, I keep coming back to this one though! So what I'm trying to say is do you at least know which other gaming monitor is better but with the same color as the Samsung neo g7, but also 32 inches, please and thank!! ;P
Hey JP! If you're spending this much on a monitor, I would definitely get a good speaker and/or headset too. There is no monitor built in speaker system that is half decent, they're all horrible from what I have seen, that's why I think they don't even bother having it built in on these high end monitors. And sorry no, i'm not aware of any other 32 inch gaming monitor that's out now that comes close to the benefits of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and G8. Sorry couldn't be of more help. Thanks for watching and hope you find your ideal monitor!
No worries, I'm probably still going to get Samsung neo g7, cause it's looks a lot better then neo g8, cause of the way it look on the back too while. The way I heard is that Samsung neo g7 is now $999 dollars, from Walmart, Best buy, and Amazon, since I have a refund gift card on Amazon I can get it for $852.39, but I'm wondering if I should get it from Walmart or Best Buy, rather than Amazon? Oh and do you know what/which is the best mini speaker to match the Samsung neo g7 by any chance?
@@jpwoods7642 Hey JP, sorry for delayed response bro. Did you end up buying it? I usually always go with Amazon because they have the most lenient return policy and customer experience. Not sure if they sell it in Costco in the US, but if they did, I would probably buy it from there since my understanding is they have 90 day return policy on electronics and super cheap additional warranty coverage... but I doubt they sell the Neo G7 there. Best mini speaker? not sure man, my desk is too small for any speaker, I just use the sound out of my macbook pro when I'm using that and I use gaming headsets when I'm on playstation.
No worries, haven't bought it yet, will though soon, brought a new gaming desk and a new vivo stand for the Samsung Neo g7 32 inch gaming monitor!!! ;P Oh and plus will also buy a good mini speaker for it too!!
How does the G7 compare to that new LG 27" 1440p OLED monitor? specifically for PS5 too... I'm torn between the Neo G7 with the 4k for PS5 & the OLED LG 27" flat & thin screen for PS5. I guess I'm unsure how 1440p will look for PS5, will there be a tonne less sharpness compared to the neo G7 etc. I'm currently on a 4k 60hz old samsung monitor from 2019 with dogshit fake hdr.
Hey Wildfire, can't speak from personal experience since I haven't used that new LG 27" OLED monitor. But I did ask SpawnPoiint on his opinion in one of his vids and he agreed with what I thought that if you're using the monitor primarily for work then the 4K resolution benefit and bigger screen outclasses the better contrast and lower resolution that the 27inch OLED offers. But if you're using it primarily for gaming and barely/not at all for work/everyday browsing, then sure go for the 27inch oled. As for deciding between the Neo G7 and the 27" LG OLED, I would/did go with the Neo G7 since it gives you that 4k which is definitely noticeable for text and especially when working/browsing on the monitor outside of gaming. Also the bigger screen imo more than makes up for the slightly worse contrast in comparison to OLED. So in short, Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 all day everyday.. at least currently imo. Hope that helps!
@@seifbuys Interesting What about pricing? Currently the Odyssey G7 Neo is £1099 but I can get the LG Oled for £930 as it's discounted. And another thing I would need to upgrade my vesa mount for the Neo G7 because of the size & weight exceeds my current monitor limitations. The LG looks amazing, is a thin & sleek design with better response times for gaming (it'd primarily be for gaming and content creation for me). But the lack of 4K & the risk of burn in has me concerned. Is 4K Vs 1440p really noticeable at 27"?? Ive only ever had 1080p or 4k 60hz monitors
@@WildfireX ahh I see. My understanding is for gaming, 1440p vs 4k won't make much of a difference especially at 27inch screen size. As for using it for content creation, I personally would be too concerned about burn in and the 1440p would prob be passable thought text def won't be as crisp as on 4k. Ya the Neo G7 is def not the best on a monitor arm unless it's heavy duty. I imagine the 27inch oled would be much easier to maneuver on any monitor arm. I would still go for Neo G7 and just upgrade my monitor arm tbh.. but depends what kind of budget you're working with for sure. You're basically paying extra to remove risk of burn in, get a bigger screen with higher resolution, but worse build quality and will likely need a new monitor arm, and getting slightly less contrast. Ngl though, the 27inch oled does look real sleek, like def nicer looking than the Neo G7. Though I use my monitor with its back facing window so wouldn't really appreciate the monitor design in either case since all I see is the front of the display in most/all use.
