Did you have to use a certain file system or directory structure to upgrade the firmware? I can't it can't it to find the .BIN file. Even though I'm following their directions to the T! Super Frustrating. I tried NTFS and FAT32
Used FAT32 on a 4GB USB 2.0 drive, making sure to put it in USB slot 1 on the monitor. Make sure you have the right bin file for your model, there are different ones for the 32" and the 27".
Hi, is it true the monitor support G-sync also after latest Nvidia driver ? Some monitors are compatible, i read from a customer reviewer g-sync works. If so this is the best bargain of a monitor ever. I have the smaller cf73. Will get this one :)
I just got this monitor at 27" and I am very pleased with it's performance. It was updated to the latest firmware so it was fully supporting my Vega 56 and Freesync 2 hdr. The only con I could find was that the stand if about twice as deep as most stands. Granted, this depth allows for vertical adjustment but it is exactly like Techy describes. Buy a vesa monitor stand and you are good to go for 40 bucks.

The main difference for me in these 2 Samsung monitors is the resolution. 1440p is necessary in anything 27'+.

After a 2-3 years (now) when i start PC maybe when monitor is cold, some times at the bottom of the screen left to right i see lines (green?) and after 2-3 minutes disappear and the monitor continue without problems. I test other ports (hdmi-display port )with external TV and is the same. So it's not a PC problem. Maybe the power source of the TV ? I tried also to reset to factory the monitor with no changes.

what about smeary text or purple ghosting, vertical viewing angles,(flat screen, but it is only issue when you are engineer, circles is not round and exel rows actually curved), I am waiting for 32gk850 from LG, what is perfect for me at this point.
How do I enable HDR on my CHG70 ? It's greyed out on windows 10, games say that the monitor doesn't support it and there are no options on the OSD... please help.
@@antonistuart2408 For me, since I have a GTX 980 Ti, the issue was that I can only use the HDR mode through HDMI, and I was using a DisplayPort cable, so check your GPU's compatibility with HDR online. Don't even bother though, the monitor only has like 6 local dimming zones, which, if that's what you're mentioning as grey, well, there you have it. HDR looks far worse than SDR on a monitor like this. 6 local dimming zones makes highlights and shadows/shades look flat. And, although there is a lot more detail in the colours, which I appreciate, it makes everything look so flat that I'd rather play in SDR instead. I'm very dissapointed with the monitor.
@@Melibond64 thanks I’ll check to see if that’s the issue I’m running it on a 1660 so I’m not to sure but at that point I would rather just run it on a display port
2007suprasport I see you posted this awhile ago, did you get one for your one x ? And if so are you happy with it? I'm considering getting one for mine.
Brad Ennis its garbage according to amazon reviews. Only 12zones so hdr is useless Clouding and bleeding is very annoying especially in very black pictures (iA loading screens) The white is supposed to be yellowish and it only is 250cdm2
Erkin that is only at the fastest response times/refresh rates. At lower refresh rates it can achieve over 600nits. There are plenty of good reviews of this out there, is it perfect for HDR? No, but for gaming it is pretty amazing, not as expensive as that Nvidia BS, much faster than a TV.
Great video. No faff, no shots of you mug every 2 seconds and instead focussed on the actual product we came here to see. I’m getting mine delivered in a couple of days, albeit I’m joining the gang about 3 years later but this is still widely regarded as one of the top 3 gaming monitors.
Actually the only thing I resally want from a monitor is for the colors to really pop out. And what I mean by that is that red really looks red like on samsung AMOLED smartphones. Even if it looks unrealistic as I am not a photoshopper. In this case, am I then better off with a IPS panel or a VA panel? I have had IPS before but never used a VA panel so I don't have anything to compare it to.
My LG is crapping the bed Grey blacks. 14ms standard response time. And terrible hdr support. I've been leaning towards this for a while. Cant wait to get one set up.
Hello. Please tell me what monitor is better to buy this AOC C24G1 or Samsung C24FG73FQI. Which one is better in the picture, in colors and in General?
When i watch the hdr videos on RUclips with the HDR mode on, the videos are colorless very washed out. I have an xfx rx 580 I tried everything 10 bit 4:4:4 its just not working. Has anyone had this issue before maybe the Unite i got is bad or maybe CPU Ryzan 5 1400. Can someone help me with this issue please
How is there no blacklight bleed/VA glow/clouding for the LED's around the edge of the panel? I've tested several of these panels (returned them) and all of them had bright spots!
Im also getting for the new Xbox but ill be getting the 27 inch since one of my experienced friends said that too big of a monitor can cause an opera effect
Due to latest drivers n vidia you can have g sync compatibility...with my samsung 32hg70 i have no problem in games with g sync compatibility mode.(2080ti gpu)
Everything was perfect..... until that god damn stand.... uni student in the uk here and my table isnt very deep so that extra 20 cm would have cost me hard and make it almost unusable. it had all i ever wanted as well :( price, quality, hdr, 144hz... oh well
you always see pictures of hdr being bright and colorfull , then when i see someone turn it on like you just did , the monitor just turns in to a dark over-saturated mess after turning it on ... do you turn up the brightness and turn down the color ? or does it look ok on the monitor itself ?
It's over saturated stock , but adjust it and you'll be fine One of the best monitors for the money , hands down There are enough manual controls to really dial in a great picture.
According to VESA, this monitor is HDR600 certified, which is the 3rd best HDR you can get, second only to HDR1000. And Now I have it, and sure enough, the colors.... I can't go back to non HDR displays ever again.
I have the CFG73 (24 inch) and its sRGB mode is pretty spot-on. Not good enough that I'd say that professionals should be using it, but good enough that amateur photographers should have no problem with this monitor calibrated.
Thinking of buying this or LG 34UC98-W. My playing wil be DS3 and FF15 when it comes on PC. I love the LG because it would also replace my TV and be simply awesome when watching movies. Clearly wins this one for movie watching bc of the wideness. The only thing is I don't know if my rx 480 even OC'd can get to the freesync range in LG (55-75Hz) when playing titles like DS3 and FF15 in 1440p. I have no idea how much more gpu power ultrawides need over normal benchmark monitors in same res. Thoughts about these two monitors and their comparability?
Should I get this or the MSI Optix MAG27CQ? They are both around the $400 dollar price tag right now. The thicker bezel on this makes me want to get the MSI, but the Quantom Dot on this makes me want the Samsung.
You are running 70% brightness in standard response time in this video, and there is no flicker (except when you enable strobing modes). Does the standard response time stay flicker free all the way down to 0%? The C32HG70 is flickering at below 95% brightness, so this is good news.
I haven't actually double checked but I believe it does stay flicker free - I was using it as my main monitor for a week or so with it set to 14% brightness and I didn't notice any flicker. Samsung also claims the backlight is completely flicker-free unless strobing is turned on.
Yes I can confirm this now that I got the monitor - it stays flicker free throughout the whole brightness range. Sadly I got the "knuckle drag" distorted arcs on dark background that some people complained about in newegg and reddit, so I sent it back. Going to give it another go after I get my money back.
How far forward does the monitor have to be on the desk because of the stand? I’m worried I’m not going to have enough space on my desk to fit it in but can’t find anywhere how far forward the stand makes the monitor sit at?
Use Standard instead of Ultimate Freesync to resolve this, i also experience ghosting in some gaming situations also get the latest firmware, hope this works FYI im using the same monitor. www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/LC27HG70QQUXEN/#downloads
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you clearly in the video. Is this monitor's HDR implementation good? I know a lot of people say it's not true HDR and 8 local dimming zones and whatnot but when playing HDR games, they do look better, right?
Another reviewer said this moniter has noticable backlight uniformity issues on an all black screen? (Backlightbleed) I got the new asus pg279q and had to return it due to this same issue and have ever since been looking for somthing with good blacks. Does this moniter suffer from backlight bleed?
If you leave HDR turned on would it be 600nit brightness all the time? or is it only brighter when using HDR content? Also do you have to use HDMI for HDR or can you use DP? (bought mine today but wont arrive till next week).
It looks better with HDR off, if you ask me - at least in the example provided. However, everything else about it is really, really nice. This seems like the kind of monitor I could use both to play games, watch movies and work, write emails, a little bit of code and angry youtube comments. The bezels are small enough, I think they're targetting single monitors users. I think I would like it next to 24-27" inch monitor placed in portrait mode next to it, for browsing the web while another application is maximized on the CHG70.
I previously had an ips display and was thinking about getting this, but I was afraid of the ghosting issue. I also once had a curved monitor that had weird lighting problems as a result of the curvature of the screen. glad to see those problems are not present here
Awesome, awesome, awesome review! Made my purchase just now because of your video. Super pumped. Im going from a 4k 60hz TN panel, headed down in resoultion, but up in hz. Ive heard so many good things about 144hz i cant resist anymore i have to try it myself. Too bad 4k 144hz arent around yet. This monitor seems like the best of it all to pair with my 1080ti, cant wait :)
Bought this one, all GREAT except this little things: - if I plug the USB stick into the monitor or my cellphone, it won't run at all as it does when I plug it in my PC directly, so the phone is fast charging but not showing at the computer. Would be nice if these two things would work
Alex Bird that’s because you need to plug the usb a to b cable from the monitor to the pc. The plug is shown at 2:27 in the video on the right of the two usb slots. It’s blue.
I happen to agree sir. I spent weeks going back and forth over different monitors, but when I saw an open box special for this on Amazon, there was no question. Never before have I been more satisfied with a piece of computer hardware than with this monitor. Like you mentioned, simply stunning and elegant, with high performance under the hood.
King Fresh have you gotten it for the Xbox one x? I’m thinking about getting it. What are you thoughts, have you had any issues with light bleed or dead pixels?
To point a few flaws: Feet too wide, can't use vertical multi-screen side by side Flicker exist by rtings test result Useless back side design cost should be spent on 90s style border
Actually, this monitor is pretty shit. More indepth review here ruclips.net/video/h7JPDa3xgZg/видео.html its only got 8 dimming zones so its useless for that. The freesync range is 80-120hz, which is a joke. 80-140 with CRU.
That was in July I wonder if they may have improved that in updates to the monitor. I loaded an update to mine several versions newer than what it had out of the box.
ToastyX CRU application shows it 72-144Hz range. So they must have updated it in the monitor software I loaded if that other review says native was 80-120. Also its a Freesync 2 monitor so AMD requires it to fully support LFC to be certified Freesync 2. www.amd.com/Documents/freesync-lfc.pdf With LFC you want to turn on VSync so that if it drops below 72 you will get the better performance it describes in that PDF. I ran the Windmill demo that runs at 60Hz and could not notice any issues with VSync on and off it was smooth.
To clarify, the Freesync range is 48-144Hz, and yes I've also confirmed the 8 dimming zones, which is all but pointless. However, in my assesment of the monitor I was always aware that the local dimming would be a minor point as this display uses edge lighting so there's no way it could be all that effective, even if it had more "zones". Apologies if that wasn't made more clear. The HDR claim basically comes down to the 3000:1 native contrast ratio (2500:1 according to my tests) and the extended colour gamut and in that regard it is genuinely more HDR than most gaming monitors (IPS/TN) but clearly it's a bit of a stretch overall. As I say in my conclusion, it's everything else about the display that actually makes it tempting.
I believe the freesync range is 72-144 on Ultimate setting. The reason I say this is you can with the latest firmware of this monitor that came out on 9/20 open up the menu go to Information and watch the Freesync frequency now syncing with your FPS in games. With LFC if you drop below the min range it will double the frequency output. So if you drop below 72 it will double say 71 to 142Hz if you open a game and get your FPS to go from say 80s to 60s you can see this happen. You will see the frequency double the second you go below that 72Hz lower end. This is very smooth I don't even notice it at all and their is no issues with the smooth display. I am using a RX Vega 64 liquid cooled card now so it has the full display port 1.4 output and Freesync 2 support. I was using a Fury X crossfire setup with I first got the monitor and noticed that Freesync worked fine but HDR was hit or miss on working in ME:A and now it works every time. They upgraded the firmware 2x so far on this monitor and improved it both times so that is nice to see.
So I have a question: I currently have the Acer XG270HU, a 1440p, 144hz, 1ms TN panel. If I switched it for this monitor, what would the response time difference be? Perhaps I heard wrong, but it kinda sounded like there was a "but" or a con when you bump it up to 144hz 1ms response time. Would would I be losing out on by switching??
do you have a color calibrator to check the actual % youre getting from this? I cant believe that this is 92% aRGB that doesn't even see feasible when every single other panel on the market for this price point can barely scrape at 70%.
Yup, measured with an Xrite iDisplay Pro (not the most sophisticated colorimeter on the market but plenty good enough for telling the difference between 70% and 90% aRGB).
I have this screen, quality pretty good, design pretty good, sofware good, image out of the box bad, way to bright and need colour adusting to get the right colors, 144hz awsome, overdrive is a setting the old model didnt had and its very good and can give you a edge in FPS fames and make the game looks like playng in the old crt´s with no display lag, but you compromisse some image quality when set to too hight due to inverse ghosting at hight levels but every 144hz does thay, ideally for single player games use 0 or 20, you are able to save diferent video presets for diferent games wich is very usefull, If you guys read the amazon reviews the best rated monitor is the viewsonic 144hz, but where I live we don´t have that brand, still pretty happy with my monitor 144Hz gave me a BIG skill improvement, I played in a 10 y old tft screen, lots of tearing, display lag and was hard to aim tbh, at 144 with lo lag, its smooth and my aim improved a lot, so ye pretty happy my only con problably is the gamma values that doesn´t seem right to me, but no option to tweak, to conclude good monitor if you have the viewsonic where you live at comparable prices get it instead, and this monitor is slighy better then the old model.
I had the chg70 32" monitor.. Be aware of this monitor having an issue when powering back on... It would not power back on after the computer was off for an extended period of time, over an hour.. I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it.. I also had an issue with the leds flickering on black colors, it would look like a snow storm to some extent, hard to explain it, but you could see the light cycling in the pixels. Backlight glow was atrocious and not uniform at all.... I sent it back for a refund..
Hello. to anyone who can test a Freesync monitor/Nvidia card/Intel processor. My Freesync monitor seems to be recognizing Freesync since the Win10 October update and the most recent Nvidia update. I have the Samsung LC27HG70QQNXZA monitor, a GTX 1080 by MSI, and an intel i7 7700. The monitor's setting options now have Freesync options that were not definitely not there the last 9 months. The computer also reacts when I change to Freesync on the monitor. Can someone confirm that that is the case with their Nvidia/ Freesync monitor combo? The only thing I have found on the net is the following report: techreport.com/blog/34136/updated-geforce-cards-mysteriously-appear-to-play-nice-with-tr-freesync-monitors
I'm going to buy this monitor... If they make the next cod 120 fps on Xbox. This monitor has freesync 2 and actually isn't true HDR. You need 1,000 nits. This monitor doesn't come with speakers. It has a 10 bit pannel. Those are just some things you missed
120hz helps even with 60fps games, basically cuts the input lag in half. This monitor will be really really good on all Xbox One games at 120hz, so no worries about 60fps vs 120fps!
Can somebody pls. tell me how this VA panel compares to a IPS display? I had a cheap IPS monitor and switched to gaming TN panel AOC and it looks terrible, all white and washed out.
Please can any one help me with this question, Can this Monitor reaches 144Hz if I have a NIVIDIA GPU ? Or what are the drawbacks if I have a NIVIDIA GPU with this Monitor?
abdulrahman alqrafy I also have Nvidia gpu still I bought this Now it can run at 144hrtz on Nvidia gpu But if you want to go at its full capacity you will notice some screen tearing and then you have to lock your fps with Vsync and lose some fps In and you will not get screen tearing because of free sync Well my fps doesn't go abhove 120 most of time so no screen tearing I am fine with this and very happy

How does this compare to the PG279Q? I know their different sizes and va vs ips but overall what's the better monitor ?
How do I enable HDR on my CHG70 ? It's greyed out on windows 10, games say that the monitor doesn't support it and there are no options on the OSD... please help.
Hey I got this monitor a few days ago and have had the same issue, did you ever find a solution?
Most the games says it supports it for me but it always make the colors more dull and the screen a little more grey
@@antonistuart2408 For me, since I have a GTX 980 Ti, the issue was that I can only use the HDR mode through HDMI, and I was using a DisplayPort cable, so check your GPU's compatibility with HDR online. Don't even bother though, the monitor only has like 6 local dimming zones, which, if that's what you're mentioning as grey, well, there you have it. HDR looks far worse than SDR on a monitor like this. 6 local dimming zones makes highlights and shadows/shades look flat. And, although there is a lot more detail in the colours, which I appreciate, it makes everything look so flat that I'd rather play in SDR instead. I'm very dissapointed with the monitor.
@@Melibond64 thanks I’ll check to see if that’s the issue I’m running it on a 1660 so I’m not to sure but at that point I would rather just run it on a display port
@@antonistuart2408 prnt.sc/xujec5 looks like the 1660 is fine with either.
OK, definitely getting this. ..regardless if it's not 4k for my X
2007suprasport I see you posted this awhile ago, did you get one for your one x ? And if so are you happy with it? I'm considering getting one for mine.
I would love to know too
Brad Ennis its garbage according to amazon reviews.
Only 12zones so hdr is useless
Clouding and bleeding is very annoying especially in very black pictures (iA loading screens)
The white is supposed to be yellowish and it only is 250cdm2
Erkin that is only at the fastest response times/refresh rates. At lower refresh rates it can achieve over 600nits. There are plenty of good reviews of this out there, is it perfect for HDR? No, but for gaming it is pretty amazing, not as expensive as that Nvidia BS, much faster than a TV.
Mark van Eldik man its absolutely bad
Great video. No faff, no shots of you mug every 2 seconds and instead focussed on the actual product we came here to see. I’m getting mine delivered in a couple of days, albeit I’m joining the gang about 3 years later but this is still widely regarded as one of the top 3 gaming monitors.
so, what's your opinion now about the monitor?
Can't wait for this to come out in my country. It's the total package, everything I'm looking for in a monitor.
Actually the only thing I resally want from a monitor is for the colors to really pop out. And what I mean by that is that red really looks red like on samsung AMOLED smartphones. Even if it looks unrealistic as I am not a photoshopper.
In this case, am I then better off with a IPS panel or a VA panel? I have had IPS before but never used a VA panel so I don't have anything to compare it to.
One of the most thorough and detailed reviews on this monitor. Thank you!
My LG is crapping the bed
Grey blacks. 14ms standard response time. And terrible hdr support. I've been leaning towards this for a while. Cant wait to get one set up.
Hello. Please tell me what monitor is better to buy this AOC C24G1 or Samsung C24FG73FQI. Which one is better in the picture, in colors and in General?

When i watch the hdr videos on RUclips with the HDR mode on, the videos are colorless very washed out. I have an xfx rx 580 I tried everything 10 bit 4:4:4 its just not working. Has anyone had this issue before maybe the Unite i got is bad or maybe CPU Ryzan 5 1400. Can someone help me with this issue please
This is a known issue with Windows 10 currently. Not an issue with the monitor, but Windows 10's implementation of HDR.

Would i get a faster response time n lower input lag using a 27 inch monitor compared to a 32 inch monitor of the exact same make and model?
I have this monitor mine doesn't show anything bout hdr and why wouldn't you leave fastest response time on ?
How is there no blacklight bleed/VA glow/clouding for the LED's around the edge of the panel? I've tested several of these panels (returned them) and all of them had bright spots!
Thinking about getting the 32 inch version for the Xbox Series X. Would you recommend it?
I just ordered one for the xsx
Im also getting for the new Xbox but ill be getting the 27 inch since one of my experienced friends said that too big of a monitor can cause an opera effect
My next monitor :D
I will pair it with a Radeon GPU once prices go back to normal. Hopefully soon.
Ooh, my condolences. The GPU prices did not go back to normal. I hope you got your GPU, at any rate!
Make a 34 inch version 21:9 ultrawide with G-sync of this monitor and I'll buy it
look into the PG35VQ or the Predator X35.
Asrei, those do not have VA panels.
They are confirmed AMVA-VA panels by the companies themselves. only the PG27UQ and the X27 are using AHVA - IPS. I can post the link
Hardly matters coz we will be staring at the display and not the stand.
You might as well buy another TV
Is this model working with g-sync ?
No just free sync
Due to latest drivers n vidia you can have g sync compatibility...with my samsung 32hg70 i have no problem in games with g sync compatibility mode.(2080ti gpu)
also with last firmware Samsung reduce framerate range from 85 to 45 in g sync compatibility mode wich is big plus.
Everything was perfect..... until that god damn stand.... uni student in the uk here and my table isnt very deep so that extra 20 cm would have cost me hard and make it almost unusable. it had all i ever wanted as well :( price, quality, hdr, 144hz... oh well
Just use VESA
This monitor is on sale right now. It's $100 off (for both the 27 and 32 inch version).
What would you say or what is the response time without the 1ms boost on?

What are the drawbacks on HDR mode? Can you still use freesync 2 and 144Hz?
Is there a VA monitor like this currently?
I just wish it had less of a bezel, really wanted to triple screen it but that really puts me off. And that 1440 p is £120 more
Does freesync work via hdmi? Some monitors that have freesync only works through display port.
Theyre right
How did you get the HDR logo to appear in menu while in windows?? I can only get it to come on if playing an HDR game, which looks all grayish.
Hi there I have this monitor however I can only set DP 1.2⬆️ and not 1.4 im pretty sure the cable I'm using supports 1.4 tho 😕
you always see pictures of hdr being bright and colorfull ,
then when i see someone turn it on like you just did , the monitor just turns in to a dark over-saturated mess
after turning it on ... do you turn up the brightness and turn down the color ? or does it look ok on the monitor itself ?
It's over saturated stock , but adjust it and you'll be fine
One of the best monitors for the money , hands down
There are enough manual controls to really dial in a great picture.
According to VESA, this monitor is HDR600 certified, which is the 3rd best HDR you can get, second only to HDR1000. And Now I have it, and sure enough, the colors.... I can't go back to non HDR displays ever again.
I have the CFG73 (24 inch) and its sRGB mode is pretty spot-on. Not good enough that I'd say that professionals should be using it, but good enough that amateur photographers should have no problem with this monitor calibrated.
Thinking of buying this or LG 34UC98-W. My playing wil be DS3 and FF15 when it comes on PC. I love the LG because it would also replace my TV and be simply awesome when watching movies. Clearly wins this one for movie watching bc of the wideness. The only thing is I don't know if my rx 480 even OC'd can get to the freesync range in LG (55-75Hz) when playing titles like DS3 and FF15 in 1440p. I have no idea how much more gpu power ultrawides need over normal benchmark monitors in same res. Thoughts about these two monitors and their comparability?
he is compatible G-Sync ?
Should I get this or the MSI Optix MAG27CQ? They are both around the $400 dollar price tag right now. The thicker bezel on this makes me want to get the MSI, but the Quantom Dot on this makes me want the Samsung.
You are running 70% brightness in standard response time in this video, and there is no flicker (except when you enable strobing modes). Does the standard response time stay flicker free all the way down to 0%?
The C32HG70 is flickering at below 95% brightness, so this is good news.
I haven't actually double checked but I believe it does stay flicker free - I was using it as my main monitor for a week or so with it set to 14% brightness and I didn't notice any flicker. Samsung also claims the backlight is completely flicker-free unless strobing is turned on.
Yes I can confirm this now that I got the monitor - it stays flicker
free throughout the whole brightness range. Sadly I got the "knuckle
drag" distorted arcs on dark background that some people complained about in newegg and reddit, so I
sent it back. Going to give it another go after I get my money back.

Are you satisfied with the responsiveness of the screen for FPS ? Can you activate Freesync and overdrive at the same time ?
How far forward does the monitor have to be on the desk because of the stand? I’m worried I’m not going to have enough space on my desk to fit it in but can’t find anywhere how far forward the stand makes the monitor sit at?

Use Standard instead of Ultimate Freesync to resolve this, i also experience ghosting in some gaming situations also get the latest firmware, hope this works FYI im using the same monitor.

I'm sorry I couldn't hear you clearly in the video. Is this monitor's HDR implementation good? I know a lot of people say it's not true HDR and 8 local dimming zones and whatnot but when playing HDR games, they do look better, right?
Another reviewer said this moniter has noticable backlight uniformity issues on an all black screen? (Backlightbleed) I got the new asus pg279q and had to return it due to this same issue and have ever since been looking for somthing with good blacks. Does this moniter suffer from backlight bleed?
If you leave HDR turned on would it be 600nit brightness all the time? or is it only brighter when using HDR content?
Also do you have to use HDMI for HDR or can you use DP?
(bought mine today but wont arrive till next week).
has this monitor shown any signs of bad things on the display?
It looks better with HDR off, if you ask me - at least in the example provided. However, everything else about it is really, really nice. This seems like the kind of monitor I could use both to play games, watch movies and work, write emails, a little bit of code and angry youtube comments. The bezels are small enough, I think they're targetting single monitors users. I think I would like it next to 24-27" inch monitor placed in portrait mode next to it, for browsing the web while another application is maximized on the CHG70.
I previously had an ips display and was thinking about getting this, but I was afraid of the ghosting issue. I also once had a curved monitor that had weird lighting problems as a result of the curvature of the screen. glad to see those problems are not present here
Have you tried the new Samsung JG50 27? I was looking at them for a triple monitor setup for racing. I see you were not a fan of the MSI
Awesome, awesome, awesome review! Made my purchase just now because of your video. Super pumped. Im going from a 4k 60hz TN panel, headed down in resoultion, but up in hz. Ive heard so many good things about 144hz i cant resist anymore i have to try it myself. Too bad 4k 144hz arent around yet. This monitor seems like the best of it all to pair with my 1080ti, cant wait :)
Bought this one, all GREAT except this little things:
- if I plug the USB stick into the monitor or my cellphone, it won't run at all as it does when I plug it in my PC directly, so the phone is fast charging but not showing at the computer.
Would be nice if these two things would work
Alex Bird that’s because you need to plug the usb a to b cable from the monitor to the pc. The plug is shown at 2:27 in the video on the right of the two usb slots. It’s blue.
G sync compatible?
How are you getting Delta E average of 0.06 when the calibration report shows 2.22?
I happen to agree sir. I spent weeks going back and forth over different monitors, but when I saw an open box special for this on Amazon, there was no question. Never before have I been more satisfied with a piece of computer hardware than with this monitor. Like you mentioned, simply stunning and elegant, with high performance under the hood.
Great review this one seems to tick many boxes

Do you have 120hz 1440p with freesync on?
hey, what is the min-hight that this stand can go? i want to buy this monitor but my desk allow me only 444mm :(
To point a few flaws:
Feet too wide, can't use vertical multi-screen side by side
Flicker exist by rtings test result
Useless back side design cost should be spent on 90s style border
Actually, this monitor is pretty shit.
More indepth review here ruclips.net/video/h7JPDa3xgZg/видео.html its only got 8 dimming zones so its useless for that.
The freesync range is 80-120hz, which is a joke. 80-140 with CRU.
That was in July I wonder if they may have improved that in updates to the monitor. I loaded an update to mine several versions newer than what it had out of the box.
Do you have the monitor? Can you check if the range is still 80-120?
The dimming zones cannot be changed with software tho.
ToastyX CRU application shows it 72-144Hz range. So they must have updated it in the monitor software I loaded if that other review says native was 80-120. Also its a Freesync 2 monitor so AMD requires it to fully support LFC to be certified Freesync 2. www.amd.com/Documents/freesync-lfc.pdf With LFC you want to turn on VSync so that if it drops below 72 you will get the better performance it describes in that PDF. I ran the Windmill demo that runs at 60Hz and could not notice any issues with VSync on and off it was smooth.
To clarify, the Freesync range is 48-144Hz, and yes I've also confirmed the 8 dimming zones, which is all but pointless. However, in my assesment of the monitor I was always aware that the local dimming would be a minor point as this display uses edge lighting so there's no way it could be all that effective, even if it had more "zones". Apologies if that wasn't made more clear. The HDR claim basically comes down to the 3000:1 native contrast ratio (2500:1 according to my tests) and the extended colour gamut and in that regard it is genuinely more HDR than most gaming monitors (IPS/TN) but clearly it's a bit of a stretch overall. As I say in my conclusion, it's everything else about the display that actually makes it tempting.
I believe the freesync range is 72-144 on Ultimate setting. The reason I say this is you can with the latest firmware of this monitor that came out on 9/20 open up the menu go to Information and watch the Freesync frequency now syncing with your FPS in games. With LFC if you drop below the min range it will double the frequency output. So if you drop below 72 it will double say 71 to 142Hz if you open a game and get your FPS to go from say 80s to 60s you can see this happen. You will see the frequency double the second you go below that 72Hz lower end. This is very smooth I don't even notice it at all and their is no issues with the smooth display. I am using a RX Vega 64 liquid cooled card now so it has the full display port 1.4 output and Freesync 2 support. I was using a Fury X crossfire setup with I first got the monitor and noticed that Freesync worked fine but HDR was hit or miss on working in ME:A and now it works every time. They upgraded the firmware 2x so far on this monitor and improved it both times so that is nice to see.
So I have a question: I currently have the Acer XG270HU, a 1440p, 144hz, 1ms TN panel. If I switched it for this monitor, what would the response time difference be? Perhaps I heard wrong, but it kinda sounded like there was a "but" or a con when you bump it up to 144hz 1ms response time. Would would I be losing out on by switching??
do you have a color calibrator to check the actual % youre getting from this? I cant believe that this is 92% aRGB that doesn't even see feasible when every single other panel on the market for this price point can barely scrape at 70%.
Yup, measured with an Xrite iDisplay Pro (not the most sophisticated colorimeter on the market but plenty good enough for telling the difference between 70% and 90% aRGB).
I have this screen, quality pretty good, design pretty good, sofware good, image out of the box bad, way to bright and need colour adusting to get the right colors, 144hz awsome, overdrive is a setting the old model didnt had and its very good and can give you a edge in FPS fames and make the game looks like playng in the old crt´s with no display lag, but you compromisse some image quality when set to too hight due to inverse ghosting at hight levels but every 144hz does thay, ideally for single player games use 0 or 20, you are able to save diferent video presets for diferent games wich is very usefull, If you guys read the amazon reviews the best rated monitor is the viewsonic 144hz, but where I live we don´t have that brand, still pretty happy with my monitor 144Hz gave me a BIG skill improvement, I played in a 10 y old tft screen, lots of tearing, display lag and was hard to aim tbh, at 144 with lo lag, its smooth and my aim improved a lot, so ye pretty happy my only con problably is the gamma values that doesn´t seem right to me, but no option to tweak, to conclude good monitor if you have the viewsonic where you live at comparable prices get it instead, and this monitor is slighy better then the old model.
what viewsonic?
Is there a way to adjust the back of the stand to make it straight?
I had the chg70 32" monitor.. Be aware of this monitor having an issue when powering back on... It would not power back on after the computer was off for an extended period of time, over an hour.. I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it.. I also had an issue with the leds flickering on black colors, it would look like a snow storm to some extent, hard to explain it, but you could see the light cycling in the pixels. Backlight glow was atrocious and not uniform at all.... I sent it back for a refund..
Hello. to anyone who can test a Freesync monitor/Nvidia card/Intel processor.
My Freesync monitor seems to be recognizing Freesync since the Win10 October update and the most recent Nvidia update. I have the Samsung LC27HG70QQNXZA monitor, a GTX 1080 by MSI, and an intel i7 7700. The monitor's setting options now have Freesync options that were not definitely not there the last 9 months. The computer also reacts when I change to Freesync on the monitor. Can someone confirm that that is the case with their Nvidia/ Freesync monitor combo?
The only thing I have found on the net is the following report: techreport.com/blog/34136/updated-geforce-cards-mysteriously-appear-to-play-nice-with-tr-freesync-monitors
if you have a Nvidia card you cant use freesync. buy your self an AMD Card to use freesync. Ngreedia dont like openstandards and wants to milk you.,
I'm going to buy this monitor... If they make the next cod 120 fps on Xbox. This monitor has freesync 2 and actually isn't true HDR. You need 1,000 nits. This monitor doesn't come with speakers. It has a 10 bit pannel. Those are just some things you missed
120hz helps even with 60fps games, basically cuts the input lag in half. This monitor will be really really good on all Xbox One games at 120hz, so no worries about 60fps vs 120fps!
Can somebody pls. tell me how this VA panel compares to a IPS display? I had a cheap IPS monitor and switched to gaming TN panel AOC and it looks terrible, all white and washed out.
It has even deeper and more saturated colors than most budget ips monitors. You'll love it.
Is it G-Sync compatible?
HDR is trash atm until windows fixes it other then that really good monitor
i think imma get this thing, im sure with gsync open to all adapative sync monitors, this will work just great with my GTX card
Yea, is also has a very wide Freesync Ultimate range (48hz-144hz), it is also from what íi know is officialy compatible :D
Good job, I'd prefer vesa mount than grb.
Please can any one help me with this question, Can this Monitor reaches 144Hz if I have a NIVIDIA GPU ?
Or what are the drawbacks if I have a NIVIDIA GPU with this Monitor?
abdulrahman alqrafy I also have Nvidia gpu still I bought this
Now it can run at 144hrtz on Nvidia gpu
But if you want to go at its full capacity you will notice some screen tearing and then you have to lock your fps with Vsync and lose some fps
In and you will not get screen tearing because of free sync
Well my fps doesn't go abhove 120 most of time so no screen tearing I am fine with this and very happy
How good is it on console or atleast hdr. Also the zones on this monitor is 8
