- Gigabyte M28U Vs Samsung Odyssey G70A, G50A and G7 Monitors M28U F07 Firmware Brightness Increase
M28U Vs G70A Vs G50A Vs G7 Monitors
*This video shows Local Dimming On issues or Feature... Is it a Glitch or an F07 defect that enables A 450+Nits in brightness power in SDR mode in a sustained screen mode on the Gigabyte M28U.
*Disabling Local Dimming brings the brightness back down to normal levels vs the G70A and no Blotchness of the picture on panning scenes. Then the G70A is a better overall buy.
Hi Friends and Welcome to Viktors Reality:
today I show you what I have been able to find regarding the F07 Firmware Update on the Gigabyte M28U 4k HDMI 2.1 Innolux IPS monitor. I show Local Dimming, Black Equalizer + Brightness Power.

Rtings has updated the nits at 500 on the m28u! I got it right Friends. All to help you make an awesome buying decision. Check out the M28U on these Amazing prices:
Gigabyte M28u 28" 4K IPS
amzn.to/3ca5xTZ
You mean it's 500 nits on this monitor the m28u that you just reviewed or you mean the new one?
DOES THIS MONITOR SUPPORT G SYNC
Got my G7 yesterday hoping you can give me some ultimate settings For some yummy eye candy..
I had a 32" Samsung Qled 4k 60hz with quantum dot VA panel. Awesome monitor with a beautiful image! Decided to upgrade to a 2.1 hdmi for the 4k 120hz capability and when with the Odyssey 70A and let me tell you guys,i was mind blown! Even thou it is an ips panel the image quality is awesome! Although, you'll need to make some adjustments to the colors to match the Qled, once you match it, you won't go back! The 4k 120hz is simply a must! I was lucky to get the Odyssey 70A on a deal on blackfriday for $650 out of $800!!!😬😬😬 Highly recommend it!!!💪💪🔥🔥🔥
Nice! Friend... I'm happy also... :)
@@DisplayReality Thanks bro!
Mind blown yet suffer worst contrast and BLB/ IPS glow? 🤔
how do you sett your settings?
@@mustafa-abdullahii Im not home at the moment and i don't remember everything i did. I know im on AV instead of pc. The black lvl is on 11, blue 92, green 94 and red 96. No hdr. Something like that. When i get home i double check and let you know.
If you like brightness, You would love the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD. It gets ridiculously bright, Especially in HDR (around 700nits).
Nice! I'll look into it. Thx.
Except that the motion clarity on it is terrible from the reviews i saw. UFO ghost test was really ghosty. At least its bright.
@@DisplayReality I was just about to say I hope you can get the MPG321UR-QD to test and compare to G70A, M28U, and G7.
The M28U looks brighter, but only in the middle. Especially when you were driving along the highway, the M28U looks like it has a noticeable vignette effect and is much dark on the left and right sides of the panel.
Bro you are reall yup there with hardware unboxed in the useful detailed videos you create. When I want to buy a new monitor I always know where to go.
Thx friend... I appreciate the kind words...
Picked up the M28U for $479 at Best Buy. Seemed like a no brainer.
Great Deal!
Hi, I am currently stuck on buying the Samsung - Odyssey G7 28" or the Gigabyte M28U. The main reason I am stuck is because I read that the M28U has 24Gbps compared to 40Gbps for the G7. Does this play a big part for the HDR aspect? Also the M28U is $500 compared to the G7 being $690. So I am also looking at that, if the 24gbps doesn't play a big part.
@Unknown Got the M28U, it’s amazing. Definitely worth it for $500 saved money and it looks great
@@xPure. Whats your opinion about the M28U after 3 months uf use?
@@xPure. how's the monitor holding up now? Any ghosting issue?
Personally I would prefer the peak brightness to be around 400 nits max playing in a dark room and sitting 3 ft away from your monitor anything above that is damaging and blinding to me..
Colors on Odyssey G70A looks much better, even M28U have more bright... the picture on the G70A is better..((
I’m thinking above m28u and G7, like almost half of people here too 😆👌🏼💎
I Found on black week sales m28u for 488Euros,
and G7 for 400Euros!! (And yea it was this right version of samsung G7 144hz 4k)
I was thinking the Gigabyte all the time across of Samsung,
but the samsung price almost had me to buy it, but i didn’t.
I still think that i have to buy m28u even it’s little bit more expensive. I hope that i’m gonna be satisfied to this choise 😁😁
I ended up buying the Samsung and I absolutely love it
Nice! Cool friend... :)
Thanks for this beautiful content and comparison 🙏🏻
I appreciate your time friend. Thanks.. I hope it helped..
I can't decide. m28u or g70a. Which do I get!? lol. I know the g7 has newer firmware as well. 1.008 I believe.
Hi sir , just one question I had
Don’t u think (Gsync certified)in Samsung plays the game more smoother than gigabyte ( free sync and NVIDIA computable)
Your opinion
I waited almost 2 years after I decided to switch from my old Samsung N8700.
So glad that LG announced the C2 42 monitor. Cant wait to get that monitor for my PS5 and PC.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a glitch, It does seem like HDR brightness has somehow leaked through SDR mode. I actually decided to go for the MSI Optix MAG28URF, It's an amazing monitor that supports the full bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 with a wider color gamut.
I don't personally care for crazy amounts of brightness so i'd probably update to the f10 firmware what I care about is an effective local dimming feature and black adjustment feature. or get the g70a
I bought the G70A yesterday, I also have the FV43U. The G70a has a newer firmware version on it ending in 1005.2, I don't see it on the Samsung download page so not sure it it improves anything. I also updated my FV43U to firmware f05 before it was pulled, I don't use it enough to see if it has issues. Have you used either of these firmwares w/these monitors?
Your G70A is set. No need to upgrade or downgrade. Now the Aorus... I'm not sure they usually pull if there is a problem. But if you don't see any your set... ill update to f05 or see what changelog says.
Can you do a comparison video between the M28U and the M32U?
The M28U f07 is brighter in sdr but the M32U I'd an overall better value. It's a great monitor you cannot lose with it.
hi there . how was the motion on g7 any ghosting overshoot or jittery motion when panning the camera?
I have m28u i tested the local dimming and mine is very responsive
As good as that monitor is, the brightness as victor has said on this video makes it more muddy during transitions. Even though it destroys the competition with its brightness for fps games or fast moving scenes it won't be as crystal clear.
Hello, for you the m28u is better in terms of colorimetry than the g50a ? As a graphic designer I'm looking for a good colorimetry (after calibration).
If I disregard the 2k or 4K . Thks for your review.
many thanks
quick question, which monitor would you buy - gigabyte M28U = £400 or samsung g70a = £500
M28U... they are the same basically. Save some money.
@@DisplayReality thanks man
I was struggling to enjoy Man of Steel on my G5 Odyssey today, the colors on Superman’s Outfit were not popping like they were on my LG & Samsung TV
So which one should we get? G70 or m28 for ps5
Hey what would you personally go for now the M28u has had an update to brightness, the LG27gp950-B or the M28u? (For gaming and watching some content such as Netflix).
The m28u would give u more perceived contrast. I'm about to review the Lg GP9 speaker for the 27gp950. I'll make my way to a vs video between the 2 soon.
Hi the newest software for the 70A is 1006 I have it :) but it's not online on the Samsung website
Do u know what that update brings?
Same 👍
I'm also interested
If this is a forced increase brightness, then you should expect different things from that monitor and the monitor will not live for a long time because of this, the Gigabyte m28u heats up more
That's what I figured but I switch out Monitors monthly so I'm my case I won't see issues but I can see ppl getting and in 2yrs if non stop use it may degrade. I hope not but I have not seen any degrading issues on any of my monitors...
hi, im using samsung g7 and i have a little blb on the 4 corner. i try to change 4 monitör but a lot of them have some blb. i know it can pass thi issue mini led or oled. samsung will realse neo g8 but it has 4k.my sysmtem cant feed this monitör. mini led with va panel, 2k which monitör uses? or which monitör will come this combination?
So what's the reason of having hdr when your sdr brightness is so good? Lol. Also if that's so easy to do why other companies don't do it too... I think there is something going on here.. I'm interested in seeing what the next update brings for the m28u..or the odyssey.. bc I'm tryna decide which one but these updates man.. confuse me big time.. gotta wait
Hey- I am in the market to a PC monitor ( first time buyer) I was thinking about getting the G7 240hz BUT should I wait for the new models to come out?
This G7 is really good. The only true upgrade would be a Neo g8 Mini led version. I would say if you don't need one right now just wait 3 more months to see both in action before you decide. I'm getting the G8 as soon as I can. But you can't go wrong with a G7 as the prices in the US are 599 for the 32" lately.
Hi please make video m28u vs asus vg28uql1a and which is better?
Any new firmware with faster local dimming on M28U?
It remains at 500nits or they reduce it?
Any difference with acer predator XB283K?
Why review inferior IPS panels that suffer BLB and IPS glow?
Update: Rtings confirmed this "bug". +200 nit brightness w/ local dimming on. They are going to post an update to the M28u page with their findings. It should be interesting. If someone could find a way to reduce the overall max brightness the M28u would be the new best monitor. I can't for the life of me understand why these companies choose to do this. It makes finding a monitor so frustrating.
Thx... Yea I saw they updated but they don't say it's a glitch so this has to be for everyone that updates to f07. 500+nits wow just like I said. I can see these levels on brightness just by looking at it.
Hi. Which monitor is better for PS5?
Odyssey G7 28 cost 800$ and M28U cost 700$. What do you think?
Both tied. The G70A looks nicer and has a faster backlight but besides that get the one that is cheapest and that you like better. They use the same panel and are so close.
Witch one runs 4K with 120hz for Xbox series’s s better
Both run 4k120hz with vrr. The m28u/m32u would be brighter for hdr.
which 1 would you sggest for adobe creative cloud all apps?
Both are tied friend as I would disable local dimming on both when using that app. They use the same panel so its tied.
There is no reason SDR full nit brightness should wear the monitor earlier. Unless you know specifics about the backlight technology (ie its cheaper), you can't really say. I think what they do is just take a 400 nit backlight and force it down to 300 nits, then implement a crappy HDR 400 because the standards are so lax that they can get away with it. It allows them to keep prices higher than would otherwise be. I wish all manufacturers would unlock full nit brightness like they did.
The specifications are not sdr 500 typical. So since these transitions are slow... and brightnes increase something is up. Monitors do have a lifespan just like tvs. 30,000 to 60,000hrs or so. But that's not even at full blast. Also backlights dim over time after 10,000hrs or so little by little. So the more power the faster it will degrade. Well I can say from my tvs lcd type panel after 5yrs it has dimmed. But it will vary by type if person. I switch things out every 2-3yrs as my main so I should be safe but ppl who so every 5yrs may see something maybe. But what's weird is say the BenQ ex3210u which is hdr 600 but as techtesters says it can only get up to 298nits in sdr. That is crazy...
@@DisplayReality Yeah i didnt see that it only worked with local dimming enabled. I thought you could lower the brightness down. Theoretically someone could run the panel in HDR mode and experience (given the right scene) full sustained brightness. But even in SDR 500 nits is very high. Yes it will degrade them faster, but the monitor still has years of use even with that degredation. Were not talking about anything that matters over the course of monitor lifetime (unless you use it 24 hours a day). But it does sound like the local dimming is bugged (maybe its just your monitor?). I was hoping theyd have unleashed the max brightness . I would have bought this monitor again in a heartbeat if they did that.
Its also possible that there is some contrast issues there that is making it appear brighter than it is. You'd have to actually test the brightness physically with a luminance meter. Typically the max brightness will never go beyond what its rated for. Even with this "bug" you're still not getting 100% brightness all the time either.
@@DisplayReality What about other settings? Like adaptive contrast or anything else that might "slow" transitions? With local dimming on what happens when you try to lower brightness? Does it just do nothing at all?
Which firmware is better, F07, F08 or F10?
So does the m28u still retain peak sdr brightness without local dimming enabled? Couldnt you just disable local dimming to "fix" the muddy issue? Did you try to turn the brightness down in SDR mode to see if that fixes the "blotchyness"?
I think i did say in description. But yes if I disable Local dimming blotches goes away but brightness does also. It goes back to lower than G70A levels on brightness. So I can't say its better with it off. I like it on with that brightness increase. Just showing the differences and it may happen to many who have this monitor and update. I have reset it and kept it off for 2wks and it's still shows this so this is a Firmware change or firmware glitch. Not a regular reset your monitor to fix glitch.
@@DisplayReality Interesting. I gave RTINGS a heads up and they are gonna test it aswell. I certainly would be interested in this monitor again if the brightness does stick around, but if its only on when the local dimming is enabled, then clearly its probably a bug of some kind. What happens if you try to lower the brightness settings with local dimming on? Does that help the blotchiness at all?
If you had to choose one of these two monitors, which one would you take ??? if their price is almost identical
The G70a for the local dimming or next to no panel brightness fluctuations with local dimming on. The m28u does do this on F07. But F08 is out. And others are reporting no brightness increase. So I'll keep looking for more info.
@@DisplayReality quick question, which monitor would you buy - gigabyte M28U = £400 or samsung g70a = £500
Is it worth the extra money 160 euro for the gigabyte m28u? I have the G7 home right now
Keep the G7. Its better overall. I would not trade-in my G7 for any current monitor if I had to choose. Well maybe the upcoming mini led Neo G8 version.
@@DisplayReality ok thank you for the quick answer 🙏🏻💙
@@DisplayReality m28 is better tho lol
Dont suppose you could post your best settings for the M28U????? Be a big help for me as ive no idea how to calibrate it!
Try these settings when you play on a console, but you can give them a try anyways:
Brightness: 100
Contrast: between 55 and 62
Black Equalizer: 10 or 11
Color saturation: 16
sharpness: 10
Local Dimming: On
Gamma: 2.2
Color Temperature: standard
Override settings: Off
RGB range: automatic
dynamic contrast: 0
Helpful af bro
Got the g70a a week ago to use with PS5 and Xbox. I find it too dark. Went out and bought an MSI Mpg321qrf-qd. No hdmi 2.1 but prefer it to the g70a. In hindsight, wish I'd waited for the new Samsung neo g8 later this year.
I hope your super happy with the msi. Some may find the g70a dark while so e find it great. It's all preference for sure. Get what makes your eyes happy as that is the best judge on deciding what's best for you... The Neo G8 will be super bright 650nits typical on sdr according to some specs.
got that 70a the day using 2.1 when go into g sync it says monitor not supported any ideas 👍
Thru display port it and have freesync enabled in the monitor.
m28u or G7 VA ?
Can we get 144 hz via hdmi?
Yes the g70a is 2.1
Destroys that is just overreacting :) Where I live M28U is double the price of G50A is it that much better?
Settings?
Kids will prefer m28u adults will prefer g7
I can't update my m28u because of the shitty osd sidekick app . It doesn't recognise the monitor
Make sure it's not already running. The bottom right Taskbar. This happened to me also.. if it is running and it says not found etc. Uninstall then reset and re install. I did this also
@@DisplayReality tried everything mate nothing works. Thanks
Still can't? Or u found an update or something?
So it's the same panel yet samsung costs 300 dollars more? Can someone explain why this is ?
The hdmi 2.1ports on m28u is 24gbps and the G70A is 40gbps. But both are very similar. Right now on sales it's closer but msrp was 300 when released.
@@DisplayReality does the 40gbps matter if playing on PS5? Never really understood this concept
The ps5 gbps is capped at 32gbps. While xbox and PC are not affected the ps5s bandwidth is limited. It would be more limited on the m28u but honestly I can't see a difference while gaming. My Aorus FV43U and M28U both are 24gbps. Both looks great... even xbox looks great. So while technically the m28u is limiting. I don't think it's an issue especially at the 4k120hz at that great price.
@@DisplayReality appreciate the explanation. I was contemplating returning the m28u and snatch up the Samsung g70a for cheaper than the m28u (sale). Would you recommend i do this or just stick with the m28u ?
@@vivalavega01 I would keep the m28u. I mean it's great. I don't know which firmware your on but my f07 500nits is great. Both are amazing but I would not get a G70A as you may experience a dip in brightness.
They are not the same panel. M28u is a sharp screen g70 is Samsung
Both are Innolux IPS Panels. (DisplayNinja)(PCMonitors info)
