Samsung Neo G7 43 Inch Monitor Review - WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY! 

From where?

@@Maestro_Official got it from Samsung website with the student discount

I’m glad it helped you 👍🏻

Usually RU-vid does that for you with most videos but I’ll see if I can edit them myself

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for providing such as elaborate review. I actually switched to using an LG C3 monitor with 120 hz refresh rate instead of using Samsung Neo G7 43 inch monitor. It has an OLED panel which was far more superior in my opinion to mini-LED and the size is about the same (42 inch). Therefore, made a return. But thanks again for the review and elaborate insights.

From the home tab hit the left key button to bring up the side menu. At the bottom of that it has a menu tab, click on that, on the far right it has multi view. That’s it 👍🏻

Very much need your setting (tutorial I hope) video! Subbed!

@@1UpNerdcore Thank you! This was the one feature that I thought I compromised on when I purchased this monitor. Ghosting issues aside, I think this is a great alternative to OLED for those who don’t want to deal with possible burn in issues. Especially when priced at 699.99 or less.

Get it!

Just ordered!

​@@1UpNerdcorei did! I keep watching this video pretending it's me unboxing

Copped 3 on sale for 499. Aware of some of the issues, figured I’d take my chances anyway. Waiting for my monitor stand to arrive this upcoming weekend.

@@Str8fromthemancave Just a heads up, the monitor mount I bought didn't have the right kind of screws for this monitor. I dug through Samsung's website and found out that you'll need 4 M8 screws that are 18-20mm long

How are you liking it ?

is it 220v compatible?, or just 110v only?, thk

​@@carnivoras power supply input is 100-240 Volt's.

@@wolveslands6701 Hi Wolves!, thank you! 😀. Did you have the monitor or find the information on internet?

@@carnivoras No I have yet to purchase it i found the information on the internet, although what is holding me back from buying the g7 are 2 other displays, a 2000 nit mini led 55 inch tv with 800 dimming zones and the LG 48 C2. Can't decide which one I should get!

How is it

That’s gonna be awesome!

Best Buy?

@@marcosugalde6254best buy has it at 499 as well as amazon

@@marcosugalde6254yeah it’s on bestbuy for $500 at least here in North America

@@marcosugalde6254 Amazon has a deal on them right now.

Best Buy has it on sale for that price.

@@SubZeroGil turns out Samsung did as well!

I cop from Amazon 🫡

This thing is a beast. One tip. If it flickers or turns off try going in the settings and turn off "gamer mode." That seemed to straighten it out. It has been perfect ever since.

@@ammkx3464 I have zero complaints so far but you might be able to find more gaming specific reviews though. I use it for trading.

I cover that in the video 👍🏻

Yes 👍🏻

@@1UpNerdcore thanks , will need to change to 1440p

Just ordered for my son from xmas.... hoe did we do? Haven't been gaming for a long time but he is into it and wanted to give him an edge over my 10 year old samsung tv he inherited from me

suggest unboxing quickly, i ran into a lot of issues that I think are "as designed" with this product that has made me decide to return it before my 30 days is up.

@@mattheworelup I already unboxed it and have used it for a day now, main reason I bought is for my setup, I have a 45 inch area through the wall where I wanted to have a screen for my ps5, this one is the best monitor/tv i came across and for 500$ which was a great deal when comparing other options. But can I ask what issues did you have that were “as designed”?.

@@visiionz_6699 So I feel as though the display port sleep issue is "as designed" because i assume it is the smart tv software on it that is causing the problem. Never had a monitor have this kind of issue before. I'm not sure if ps5 has a sleep mode as well for display but may want to try that out a bit. Just set your monitor to sleep after a minute, step away for a few then come back and move the mouse and see what happens for you. also I assume "as designed" since this has been out for a while with firmware updates, and i've found a lot of people commenting about the problem. BGR for me i thought wouldn't be a big problem, and text is a "little" fuzzy but i'm not sure if that is more to due with me being more used to IPS rather than VA. I do notice that sometimes when using darkmode, the text is a grey color and any scrolling of the text makes it momentarily turn white as it scrolls. Cleartype helps but everything else still has that slight fuzzy feel. The USB hub is only kinda usable imo, anything plugged into the hub restarts when the monitor comes out of sleep (on hdmi) (it's like the monitor turns off then back on when it does). This is more of a nitpick since i can just switch types of devices plugged into it so it doesn't matter BUT that is the reason your windows may not be in the right location after coming back from sleep mode. With using a PS5 the ghosting/smudging motion causes may cause you to not like the screen long term. I thought it wouldn't bother me because i'm not really a "monitor snob" (heck i'm planning on switching to an edge lit 38 inch ips), but when i compared it to my 27 inch 144hz ips from 3 years ago i was AMAZED at how bad that was. I was expecting to just go "oh it'll not be as bad as reviewers make it out" and instead i went "holy shit how is it that bad" Not saying it is all bad though, i love the fact that i can essentially single screen use this with about 6 functional windows being usable at once. Watching video even in SDR is really nice for me personally, I watched a couple TV shows on it using the built in speakers and I liked it. The price is low enough that even with everything i said above it is REALLY hard for me to take it back next week (though 42 inch i feel is just a little bigger than i'm liking). But a lot of that would be the same with almost any other large format monitor too (except price). Value wise for $500 it has a lot of value, but personally the downsides were enough to make me consider paying more for something later.

You’ll be happy with it 👍🏻

Nice!

@@1UpNerdcore Playing Warzone on PS5 and keep getting black screens randomly for 1 to 2 seconds. anything on that?

Yea the naming is confusing and Samsung told me it was the higher local dimming zones but I’ve seen others test and show that doesn’t seem to be the case. I reached out to Samsung after learning this with no response back

@@1UpNerdcore Willing to bet that, had the Odyssey Neo G8 43" had 1,196 zones, Samsung would have definitely listed that fact in their marketing info. It's only when manufacturers know products have low desired specs or features that they choose not to reveal them.

Video comes out Friday for my SDR settings and it makes it look very comparable to an OLED

Yeah, I want a big non-oled 4k monitor for gaming, work and tv etc. I also want it to last for 5+ years. No chance of that with OLED burn in. Which leaves my options really limited. This is one of the few real options out there. Everyone seems to be going OLED for gaming monitors. And I'm just still not sure if I want this with the ghosting.

@mytimetravellingdog ghosting is a downside on this, true... 5 years, unfortunately I can not guarantee, mine lasted 30 days.... It's the first monitor to break down in my entire life. Bad luck? It may be, but it had software issues all down the line from minute 0. The most annoying one, if the monitor entered sleep mode, I could not bring it back without turning Game mode on and off, regardless of the state of the PC... and the list can go on from here on... For me, it was the worst monitor experience, but it could be the unit itself was flawed to begin with

I lowkey got triggered because its so basic knowledge to anyone who ever worked with cameras before xd

I understand that but 90% of the monitors I review are 144hz and they don’t strobe when recording outside of those that achieve it via overclocking. Those that do are overlocking and VA panels so to me it has more to do with that.

If you do high end work then this won’t suit your needs with text clarity

I have some videos on the channel talking calibration you can check out 👍🏻

It should be able to match the source at get 24p

My SDR settings video comes out later today and that’ll help you make this look much better. Out of the box it doesn’t look good. The G9 doesn’t have as much ghosting as this but my settings help it out a little bit on the visual side of the ghosting.

@@1UpNerdcore Hmm, appreciate the heads up. I can easily return the monitor if it comes to that, but then I'll have to just continue to live with the CRG9, which I am getting sick of at this point. Will check out your settings when I get the monitor.

@@PragmaticTornadohowd you like it???

I would take 120hz over 60 almost every time

Yea it’ll be a big upgrade 👍🏻

I’d probably take the 43 inch version with that big of a price difference.

Mines attached to the desk since I swap out monitors to review them so often

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z6RN25JI9Jk.html

It should be able to run this

Get a LG C2 42 inch, it's almost the same price now, for gaming you don't need to worry about burn-in which is the only drawback with OLED, it's superior in all other ways especially in response time (0.1ms), besides, all these "1ms" non-OLED displays can't really do 1ms. For IPS vs VA, IPS has better viewing angles, better text clarity, faster response time, worse contrast.

If you don’t need the size or features I would get something else

On sale $500 right now ACK!

Have the same problem, did you have the fix for this?

I’ve this monitor, since it has mini-led and quantum matrix it should be high-end.

@@dreadwing1816 can I setup my cable box to it and watch tv on it?

That sounds like the panel has an issue, I would contact Samsung to get it replaced

Asus 42inch OLED

@@1UpNerdcore thanks

if you want c2 buy it asap, c3 coming and going to be expensive than c3

The LG C2 if you want this size would be a good option

Only drawbacks with C2 for me are possible burn-in and not able to disable local dimming (only from service menu, which voids guarantee). Local dimming has been fixed in C3 and possibly some burn-in tech has been also added.

Gigabyte aouros 43 its a god monitor too 😊😊

What did u end up getting?

Ultrawides are better typically for editing as it provides more timeline space. That’s personal preference also though

@@1UpNerdcore im on a 34 inch ultrawide right now. Just want something taller and wider

Hey bro did you test it because I have both as well and that’s what I wanna run on it and I’m trying to find out if it looks good on both.

Depends on the sub pixel layout of the OLED but in general this is probably slightly better

I had the monitor for four days and returned it because of the sleep issue. When my PC would sleep and I would wake it up the monitor would come on but then immediately go to the count down to sleep screen because no input was detected. I tried multiple HDMI 2.1 (all certified) and multiple DP 1.4 cables all with the same results.

@@bp328i yeah i think i'm going to return this and wait till the pg38uq comes out. 42 was just a little too large for, and 16:9 is just so much more useful than ultrawide for productivity. just hate that i'm gonna have to drop an extra 3-400 :(

@@mattheworelup The PG38UQ is available where I'm at, looks nice! I ended up ordering a PG42UQ. Before the G7 I was using a 48" LG C2 and with my desk setup (it's 36 inches deep and the C2 was wall mounted) it was just a little bit to big for me. The main issue I had was the glossy screen and reflections were so distracting with any light behind me. As nice as the C2 is it's just not a monitor. I saw the sale on the G7and thought ok this is a good price for a 43" with a matte screen, but I guess there was a reason for the price. Completely agree with you about Ultrawides. When I got the G7 I moved my C2 into my son's room and now while I'm waiting on my PG42UQ to be delivered this Monday I'm using my old Samsung CRG9 Ultrawide and I don't know how I used it for so long before. I really dislike the aspect ratio of it, it's just not tall enough.

Yes I had that same issue, not all the time but enough that it was a problem

It’s a matte finish so it’s okay but if the reflection is glaring then you’ll notice regardless of the screen

I didn’t notice any when I tested it

I show the ports in the video so if it has any of those it’ll be there when I show the ports

I haven’t tried that and I don’t have the monitor anymore so I couldn’t tell you I’m sorry

You just have to make sure your sitting distance will be good for this and use larger text so it’s not pixelated

I don’t have the monitor to test that unfortunately it I would assume if the monitor can force 21:9 then it should be available for the PS5 although it’s just a stretched image since consoles don’t support native ultrawide aspect ratios.

I wouldn’t attempt to do that with this monitor

@@1UpNerdcore ty

The video is on my channel

You’ll notice it for sure, with a deal though how much will you care is the question

@@1UpNerdcore thanks for the response, how would you compare against the Aorus FV43U?

If your laptop has an HDMI output, then yes. Just be aware that if your laptop's screen is 1080p or 1440p and you use the G7 at 4k, you'll take a nasty performance hit due to your GPU rendering at a higher resolution. If you set the G7 at the same resolution as your laptop's screen, then you shouldn't see a performance hit.

☝🏽

Thanks! Appreciate the help

@@henryestrada1375 No problem. I'm thinking about picking one up for prime day and making a small home movie/gaming theater with it. It's at a perfect price right now to also get a decent recliner, blackout window blinds and a TV stand all for under $1000.

It’s good for that, personally I’d take an ultrawide or super ultrawide for video editing though. More horizontal space.

It’s a large workspace which is nice but 4k at this size means a smaller pixel density compared to 4k at 32 or 27 inches so text at 100% looks more pixelated than those monitors. I think it looks fine it just depends on the person though.

@@1UpNerdcore is it rgb sub pixel layout? like a real monitor or is it actually at tv panel?

I would assume it’s BGR, I can’t find any info though

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U3CJBURMe-I.htmlsi=g8dVWpTuZoMJ90WY

If you want the bigger size and the smart features it’s a great choice.

I know that can happen but running 144hz and 165on all my other monitors and it’s only happening with this which is why I believe it’s due to overlocking which I’ve recorded with previous monitors even at 120hz which shouldn’t have an issue.

@@1UpNerdcore Oh, okay. My apologies. I see this often in videos with any LED light source (when it is due to shutter speed mismatch). How is the PPI on 43inch 4k monitors? Because I've been more and more interested in one, but like when Windows is really small and really sharp.

110v only

@@1UpNerdcore Hi, thank you!, are you sure?, because another youtuber said me that the label behind the monitor says 110-240V

I’m going to be plugging everything into ether and HDMI for 8K

Except the mouse and keyboard I was going to go wireless unless I shouldn’t I do have RT-AX3000 in my room so I can pick and choose what I want to have WiFi

The panel can take a while to recognize inputs unfortunately.

The only thing I would consider here is sitting distance from the monitor and pixel density when comparing 4k at 28inches vs 43.

If you don’t mind spending time calibrating it it could be

Yea for 500 it’s one of the best deals you can find for a minute this size with these specs

Awesome! I was going to go with the Gigabyte M27U, but when I saw this on sale for 500 bucks, I figured it was a no-brainer. I'll only be using it with my Series X. Thanks for the great videos!@@1UpNerdcore

I cover all the specs in the video

Occasionally, more I had that if the PC went to sleep on DP I would have to manually press the remote to get it to come out of sleep. Even then when it comes out of sleep as HDMI it seems to restart the entire monitor (the items plugged into the hub restart)

@@mattheworelup my monitor will come on when I move/click my mouse but just hangs at no signal found. My Screen also has a really messy anti-glare coating or whatever applied, its like half applied and splotchy/runny. I got the monitor at at a good price but think ima send it back. QC here is not very good.

Win + ALT + B

Oleds will have the fastest response times but there are good 1ms GtG IPS and VA panels out there

@@1UpNerdcore Do you know that ips va models?

If it’s not native and overclocking that’s true. I’ve recorded up to 240hz no issues with the same camera and settings on monitors with that native refresh rate. The flickering is because the backlight is strobing to create the faster hz from what ive found.
