I’ve tried the Samsung G7 2 weeks ago but unfortunately I had to send back because of dead pixels. But I ordered it again because holy moly that monitor is a next level for me. I hope this time will work everything fine
I have the LG, it's been a great monitor so far and the colors are great. I still would like to try the G7 but I see so many people reporting issues, and I've even had a couple people tell me to stay away from it...on paper it's a monitor that ticks all the boxes.
Many do have issues like scanlines or gsync not working. Many firmware updates have been made as there is a VRR menu option that to me eliminates any flickering or stutter. Many also say micro stutter but I have not experienced that at all. I am happy it's one of my in the top 3 monitor.
@@DisplayReality Samsung had the same issues with the CHG70 Line and never fixed them. They won't even take ownership for a weird fault that effects all monitors after about a year where if they boot up from cold scanlines and artifacting plagues the screen at 144hz until it warms up and they go away.
Thanks! Throughout the video, i can not leave the feeling that the "motion blur" setting on the LG is set to "low" and on the Samsung to "high". At times, when moving, the LG produces a much clearer picture.
VA panel tend to get blurry than IPS in fast motion but if we doesnt compare it actually it not that worst, still a beautiful screen. Samsung calibration. Compared my g5 144hz & 27gl850 165hz. When i set both to 144hz, VA panel yes tend to be more blurry. But i prefer g5 to watch movie due to some LG light bleeding
I've tried both. If just gaming I would go with LG (clear & vivid image, beautiful color), but if both gaming & working with Office, watching movie I see Samsung Odyssey more versatile since the color is more realistic to me and text looks sharper, LG has nice color but somehow too much vivid. Just my point of view, you guys would have different look
text nét hơn hả bạn ? ngày xưa dùng màn VA của samsung đợt 2017 text hơi gai ở các đường chéo nên nó k mượt chữ. Màu VA cũng nhạt nhạt và rực hơn ips, ips màu nó tối hơn. Nên giờ lăn tăn con LG thì lại đọc dc comment của bạn

I don't notice smear at all. Many might confuse blur with smear just because it's VA and in a very high contrast scene. But the G7 is the best VA panel right now so if there is any smear nothing is better at least right now..
I still like my D2719HGD Dell TN panel.. LOL... good thing is all these Tvs and Monitors are so close to each other its really nitpicking what everyone needs at this point. Of course a few things here and there... good times for anyone new buying something...
LG because it's easier to read on a flat monitor. Any Curve will warp a small bit if you are picky. Example I cannot edit comfortably on the G7 due to the curve as I cannot lineup my lines, angles correctly... it take more work...
Hey man! Great video! Just a quick question: You are using the G7 with adaptive sync on and VRR enabled? Do you notice any microstuttering with it? Because some people complained about this in some forums, but i honestly don't notice at all.
This was at freesync on, on both monitors but vrr off. As my splitter won't pass thru vrr (it shut off and wouldn't display with all on). But freesync was on. But no issues that I can tell.
@@DisplayReality I see....but without the splitter, with vrr and adaptive sync on, do you notice anything? Your videos were one of the main reasons for me to buy the G7 haha
I honestly can't tell or don't notice it. I have see the reports too of many that have the micro stutter even after the updates. But the majority does not have any tho. Maybe certain parts of the world manufacturing issue?? I even leave the vrr option on always for PC and console.
I bought a 32GP850-B a few days ago, but decided to send it back for a refund. Maybe I'm just very unlucky with the monitor lottery, but my unit was utter garbage. - If I didn't set the brightness to 100, then the screen was very dark - If the scene was even a little darker, everything looked washed out. - Even the colors looked weak, but if I increased the saturation a little, then even the white looked grey. - And the elephant in the room was the IPS glow. Even in a well lit room the glow in the bottom right corner was clearly visible. If the UI of the game was a little darker near the bottom of the screen, then a giant glow was drawing my eyes toward it. Since most reviews praise the monitor, I'm hoping that I just had terrible luck with my unit and it's not a widespread thing with this monitor. Now I'm thinking of buying a G7, but I'm afraid of the curve. (Never used a curved display)
Check out the G7 28" as I hope the local dimming works as good as the m28u. But I have a nice LG32GP850 panel. True that lower brightness may wash out the picture. Maybe try the 27" version?
@Andresito LT1 Yeah... I heard everywhere that I should buy a high-end monitor to avoid these things, but it seems no matter the price, the lottery is always there.
@@DisplayReality Those are 4K monitors and I'd rather avoid them. I have a 4K OLED for movies or 4K games... I use my monitor for programming and certain games. (With lots of static elements) So a 32" 1440p would be ideal for me. And I use dark mode in almost everything, that's why the IPS glow was very obvious. I probably won the monitor lottery with my Asus VG248QZ TN panel, because it barely has backlight bleeding, the colors are pretty good and even the contrast is decent. (Better than it was with the LG) Dang... choosing a good monitor is really hard these days. Ps: BTW I love your videos... keep up the good work.
My case was different, the LG Ultragear 27GP850 that I've tried has very nice vivid color & brightness, playing CSGO on it I always has better ranking compared to playing on Odyseey. The only cons that I see from LG Ultragear 27GP850 are viewing angle quite small, not like what people say about IPS panel (might be just my case?) and color sometimes too much vivid to watch movie or photos
I will when I get an OLED... but now I'm thinking next yrs QN90A successor amd the new LG OLED Panels which will be brighter next yr. (The G panel version is nothing spectacular)
I hope someone stil sees the comments. I need help to choose between these please: 1. AOC CQ32G3SE: priced at $356.00 2. LG 32GN650-B: priced at $410 3. G5 LC32G55TQBMXE: priced at $250

Looking to buy a monitor for the best Immersive experience, preferably 4k or 1440p. I want the best picture quality i can get with accurate colors. Any suggestions?
I just checked out just some customer reviews. Seems like a good choice. The G7 is the best VA tho. The price seems great on the asus. Maybe try it if it's way cheaper than the G7. Let me know if you do pls.. seems like a good price...

you said if not using pc rgb, it looks washed out, have you chose hdmi low black levels on the monitor with standard on xbox and it looks washed out ? please let me know i want to buy it and this is important for me cause xbox having crashed black and white levels according to lagom lcd website test with pc rgb, i tried that with more than a monitor
What settings do you use on the lg? i have the 27gp850 and trying to adjust the black levels, i calibrated it to 2.2 srgb and the only way to see something in the dark is to use the black stabilizer at 60 but that puts a grey veil on everything, yours on the contrary seems ok, settings please!
I keep the B stabilizer at 40 I believe. True that it gets grey or washed but that's for mire shadow detail at the expense of contrast. I do use gamer 1 brightness at max with contrast at 80. I have alot of rgb so I need the power.
You have to go to your Nvidia panel and change the contrast from 50 to 45 and you can see in the dark, you can do a test by googling black level lagom test
The prob with all VA is that the white in them is slightly yellowish. However qled resolves this issue mostly. But IPS panels show perfect whites. Plus there is clouding issue in VA panel.
And prob with IPS is that it can’t show good blacks. They look grayish with the 1000:1 contrast ratio. VA shows much deeper colors as well as dark tones
@@Carllizard so ips for warzone? I heard it's foggy and washed out a bit? New to monitors. On series x and have been using a 6 year old Samsung 65" 1080 tv
I just bought the 27gp850 monitor. I was thinking maybe sending it back and getting the aw2721D but not sure if its worth paying the extra $400 is worth the 60hz extra that I could get from the Alien ware
The D is brighter and has 32 dimming zones but it does not make much difference. Also the gsync fan for nvidia gpus. I got them both so I'll try for a vs video soon if it helps. I think the D is better but not 400$ better. You can find the D on sale at 650 sometimes
@@DisplayReality that would be awesome bro I would love to see a video like that. This is my first time trying out 2k and to me at 27 inches it does feel like 4K
Stay away from Samsung monitors unless you can manage to get a accidental protection plan from the supplier. Every single gaming monitor I ever owned from Samsung, all crapped out due to dead pixels, horizontal lining, or flashing issues.
Your statement about the monitors brightness is a bit misleading. The LG one has a sustained brightness of around 412 in SDR and 429 cd/m2 in HDR, while the Samsung ranges from 324 to 540 cd/m2 depending on the amount of bright object displayed on the screen, so technically the G7 will be brighter if you don't have the full screen filled with pure white or the sun
Rtings states G7 at 333 because they updated their testing with new equipment as of early thus yr. All I last yr it was at 354nits sdr sustained. Also the LG goes in between 402 to 429 hardware unboxed . So panels vary by a few nits or can vary. I'm confident with my numbers. SDR Sustained. The G7 Local Dimming on can hit 550nits in certain situations in sdr from previous tests. But Il soon start including my panel numbers once I set up properly.
Bro that a sick video compare i check so many times but im lost ... which is better for warzone only (3080 rtx) i think shadow zone are light darker so i can see easily people in dark light zone? yes im lost ahah
The LG would be better as there is no smear at all. If you play with rgb or lighting the LG is best. But for single player or semi competitive in a Dark Room the G7 is better. The LG has a Dark stabilizer and the G7 has a black equalizer to better see in darker areas. But the G7 is very fast fir a VA it's just a small amount of smear may be seen but you can play at 240hz or close to it...
Good evening, I'm talking to you to know me. I want to buy a 4k HDMI 2.1 monitor.... All the latest options since you are specialized in monitors thank you
LG27GP950, Asus PG32UQ, Asus 43" 4k, Odyssey G7 28" and Aorus FV43U, Gigabyte M28U/M32U... there are alot. I like the Asus PG32UQ for the size 32", 4k and HDR600. I will be getting one in Nov. 42" OLED early next yr even more mini led 4k Monitors. So much to choose from. Real question is how much will you spend??
Question before the video even really starts is why the LG is at a 400 (which is its max) brightness and the G7 is at 350 when it’s max is 600?? Seems slightly unfair. Could’ve at least matched it 400:400
Nice GPU!! I'm still on a 2080 xtreme. G7 VA for the 240hz and overall a funner picture for the curve and hdr. The LG for flat, wide viewing angles and Saturation.
I noticed on my G7 some very feint horizontal lines in the upper left and right of my screen. is this a defective monitor or is this normal. There are a few threads about it
Did you get the lines after an update if you remember? If you enable 120hz mide I think it goes away. I know we want 240hz but just sharing info I have found out if it bothers you alot. It's a hardware thing that has happened to few g7 owners.
Could you say me why lg monitor looks less detailed and blurrier in some static scenes compared to the samsung monitor? Is it because of superior contrast ratio of the va panel??I have the lg 32gp850 model and im thinking to switch to the samsung g7,do you think its worth it?
I will vs these 2 monitors again. But so far i like more the G7... but i wish the curve wasnt as strong.. the LG is really a good work and play monitor.m
Samsung build quality is garbage , the whole line - up from G5 to G9 is prone to dead pixels , high temps , bad stand , fluckering g - sync. After using the G7 twice and having it send back two times in a row i am convinced it is shit so i bought a LG and did not have a issue since.
Sorry friend for the issues.. I have the G50A, G70A and G7 and I can say my LGs are easier to work with on a display detection side of things... no issues on the LG.
Samsung did a great job limiting black smearing and ghosting but they couldn't fully eliminate it. You could even see loss of detail while moving with the VA. I'd rather have some IPS glow instead of VA smearing and ghosting.
Would this comparison be the same if you used 27 inch for both screens or would it differ? I’m hesitating about between these monitors but the 27 inch versions
The LG27GP850 is a bit brighter according to hardware unboxed. Plus at 27 inchs it would look sharper. Tho on the G7 I needed a 32 because 1000r curve at 27 inchs would look weird. I have seen a couple of reviews saying the same. They wished they got a 32 for the steep of a curve. It really depends on what you need.
LG friend fir competitive or semi competitive. No smear and flat. Color saturation is beautiful on the LG. But I still love my G7 for single player games...
The Odyssey has better contrast ratio and is probably the best 1440p high refresh in terms of image quality. Without the endless issues it would be a no-brainer...
@@ashlander2334 Yeah, I see you. I am a G7 user myself but the issues are just annoying and the G-Sync implementation is just pure garbarge. I think I am going to replace it with the AW2721D.
I did have before the last update 1009.3 before that one but I don't have any issues right now. I have not tested hdr with the new one to see which I will soon.
G7... just for the picture Depth and I do like VA. But again the LGs flat panel and sRGB mode make it a great buy for creators. Plus gsync on the LG has for sure no issues.
My Asus ROG SWIFT PG27VQ screen failed at 2 years and 2 weeks. It was a TN panel, and considering the issues that both IPS and VA have, I'm thinking of sticking with TN, but the options are very limited so I don't know.
For the vs my splitter can't do 120hz. I get flicker when trying to do both. I'll try to see if an hdmi 2.1 splitter let's me do it for vs videos. Vrr needed to be disabled because I would get shutoffs.
"QLED" is just quantum dot enhanced led's being used as backlighting for an lcd panel, when lcd tv's first came around they used ccfl for the backlight, then came "led-tv" which was still just an lcd panel but with led's as the backlight, same with "qled" it's still just an lcd panel but with quantum dot enhanced led's for the backlight
for me its horrible with this game, got the G7,, you stand outside a house and look in through the door and its pitch black inside untill your are a few meters inside the building it brightens up so you can see... and if im inside looking out, the ground shines brighter then the damn sun.. blinding you. screen itself is good all my games looks fantastic but this game is shit with this screen
I’ve tried the Samsung G7 2 weeks ago but unfortunately I had to send back because of dead pixels. But I ordered it again because holy moly that monitor is a next level for me. I hope this time will work everything fine
Bro dead pixels are so annoying is everything ok now ?

You have to go to your Nvidia panel and change the contrast from 50 to 45 and you can see in the dark, you can do a test by googling black level lagom test
The prob with all VA is that the white in them is slightly yellowish. However qled resolves this issue mostly. But IPS panels show perfect whites. Plus there is clouding issue in VA panel.
And prob with IPS is that it can’t show good blacks. They look grayish with the 1000:1 contrast ratio. VA shows much deeper colors as well as dark tones
I like the warmth to the image the va offers. For me ips for competitive gaming and the va for immersion
@@Carllizard so ips for warzone? I heard it's foggy and washed out a bit? New to monitors. On series x and have been using a 6 year old Samsung 65" 1080 tv
I just bought the 27gp850 monitor. I was thinking maybe sending it back and getting the aw2721D but not sure if its worth paying the extra $400 is worth the 60hz extra that I could get from the Alien ware
The D is brighter and has 32 dimming zones but it does not make much difference. Also the gsync fan for nvidia gpus. I got them both so I'll try for a vs video soon if it helps. I think the D is better but not 400$ better. You can find the D on sale at 650 sometimes
@@DisplayReality that would be awesome bro I would love to see a video like that. This is my first time trying out 2k and to me at 27 inches it does feel like 4K
Stay away from Samsung monitors unless you can manage to get a accidental protection plan from the supplier. Every single gaming monitor I ever owned from Samsung, all crapped out due to dead pixels, horizontal lining, or flashing issues.
Hi, I want to buy an LG monitor for mixed usage between LG27GP850 or LG27GN880 ? which lineup is better? can you argu plz> thx in advance for the help
Both are great. But the Gp850 seems brighter and hdr400 according to online reviews.
Your statement about the monitors brightness is a bit misleading. The LG one has a sustained brightness of around 412 in SDR and 429 cd/m2 in HDR, while the Samsung ranges from 324 to 540 cd/m2 depending on the amount of bright object displayed on the screen, so technically the G7 will be brighter if you don't have the full screen filled with pure white or the sun
Rtings states G7 at 333 because they updated their testing with new equipment as of early thus yr. All I last yr it was at 354nits sdr sustained. Also the LG goes in between 402 to 429 hardware unboxed . So panels vary by a few nits or can vary. I'm confident with my numbers. SDR Sustained. The G7 Local Dimming on can hit 550nits in certain situations in sdr from previous tests. But Il soon start including my panel numbers once I set up properly.
Which one is better for gaming and which panel is more colorful and contrasty?
The VA Odyssey G7. The picture looks deeper and more contrasty
@@DisplayReality Is this also true for the 27 inches?
Bro that a sick video compare i check so many times but im lost ... which is better for warzone only (3080 rtx) i think shadow zone are light darker so i can see easily people in dark light zone? yes im lost ahah
The LG would be better as there is no smear at all. If you play with rgb or lighting the LG is best. But for single player or semi competitive in a Dark Room the G7 is better. The LG has a Dark stabilizer and the G7 has a black equalizer to better see in darker areas. But the G7 is very fast fir a VA it's just a small amount of smear may be seen but you can play at 240hz or close to it...
@@DisplayReality i will choose G7 for dark room ! thanks for helping me so much
does this gp850 is calibrated??
what's about pre calibration?
do i have to calibrate it?
It's great out of box. As LG nano panels are very good. But you can calibrate if you feel you need to.. I didn't and it's fine as is.
Do you use adaptive sync with pc in warzone?
Good evening, I'm talking to you to know me. I want to buy a 4k HDMI 2.1 monitor.... All the latest options since you are specialized in monitors thank you
LG27GP950, Asus PG32UQ, Asus 43" 4k, Odyssey G7 28" and Aorus FV43U, Gigabyte M28U/M32U... there are alot. I like the Asus PG32UQ for the size 32", 4k and HDR600. I will be getting one in Nov. 42" OLED early next yr even more mini led 4k Monitors. So much to choose from. Real question is how much will you spend??
@@DisplayReality i want buy lg 27gp950 It is not available
@@DisplayReality 1000 euro
Question before the video even really starts is why the LG is at a 400 (which is its max) brightness and the G7 is at 350 when it’s max is 600?? Seems slightly unfair. Could’ve at least matched it 400:400
Do you mean the specifications? HDR600 is only for HDR peak highlights on G7.
does the 32 inch look just as good as 27 inch? If the LG is just as good I think I might go for the 180hz considering I already own a AW 25 inch 240hz
Having the same question, which one did you buy?
I have the LG but I want a curved monitor so bad so I'm gonna get the G7
Nice! Yea the G7 is special...
I just play warzone on pc i7 3070 rtx , what monitor is 4 me?
Nice GPU!! I'm still on a 2080 xtreme. G7 VA for the 240hz and overall a funner picture for the curve and hdr. The LG for flat, wide viewing angles and Saturation.
Why GP model and not GQ?
Which one is good for movies and Netflix ?
The G7 would have more Contrast and vibrant in the dark. Both tied in daytime.
LG or iiyama for ips monitor?
Which one you got?
I noticed on my G7 some very feint horizontal lines in the upper left and right of my screen. is this a defective monitor or is this normal. There are a few threads about it
Did you get the lines after an update if you remember? If you enable 120hz mide I think it goes away. I know we want 240hz but just sharing info I have found out if it bothers you alot. It's a hardware thing that has happened to few g7 owners.
@@DisplayReality it happens no matter what hrtz or setting
Could you say me why lg monitor looks less detailed and blurrier in some static scenes compared to the samsung monitor?
Is it because of superior contrast ratio of the va panel??I have the lg 32gp850 model and im thinking to switch to the samsung g7,do you think its worth it?
nah thats due to his camera focusing on the right panel, you can see it at the start
should i get the lg 32gq850-b or the odyssey g7
I will vs these 2 monitors again. But so far i like more the G7... but i wish the curve wasnt as strong.. the LG is really a good work and play monitor.m
@@DisplayReality so if i could get either monitor for the same price like 550 which would be the best
@@DisplayRealityor what would be your best suggestions for a 1440p 240 hz with the best color depth and least amount of ghost
Samsung build quality is garbage , the whole line - up from G5 to G9 is prone to dead pixels , high temps , bad stand , fluckering g - sync. After using the G7 twice and having it send back two times in a row i am convinced it is shit so i bought a LG and did not have a issue since.
Sorry friend for the issues.. I have the G50A, G70A and G7 and I can say my LGs are easier to work with on a display detection side of things... no issues on the LG.
Samsung HDR Is better
LG Nano Is Better Frame Rate monitor
Samsung did a great job limiting black smearing and ghosting but they couldn't fully eliminate it. You could even see loss of detail while moving with the VA.
I'd rather have some IPS glow instead of VA smearing and ghosting.
Would this comparison be the same if you used 27 inch for both screens or would it differ? I’m hesitating about between these monitors but the 27 inch versions
The LG27GP850 is a bit brighter according to hardware unboxed. Plus at 27 inchs it would look sharper. Tho on the G7 I needed a 32 because 1000r curve at 27 inchs would look weird. I have seen a couple of reviews saying the same. They wished they got a 32 for the steep of a curve. It really depends on what you need.
@@DisplayReality thank you man! Then LG it is for me, since I only want 27 inch!! Thanks keep up the good work :)
I'm dealing with the same decision. 😁
For gaming , they’re pretty much neck and neck. For watching movies and getting work done Samsung is easier on eyes. I’d go with Samsung
@Travis Goodspeed contrast
I been eyeing up to monitors for my ps5, have been struggling to choose one.
Lg 27gp850 and gigabyte m27q. Which one would be best?
What did you buy?
For FPS gaming. which would you recommend? i need help :(
LG friend fir competitive or semi competitive. No smear and flat. Color saturation is beautiful on the LG. But I still love my G7 for single player games...
@@DisplayReality thank you so much for your reply. I would go for LG thanks a bunch!
Why not play at 120 1440
My splitter won't allow 1440p120hz side by side. That's whybI could not show that settings side by side.
Is it me or does the LG look more blurry?
The Odyssey has better contrast ratio and is probably the best 1440p high refresh in terms of image quality. Without the endless issues it would be a no-brainer...
@@ashlander2334 Yeah, I see you. I am a G7 user myself but the issues are just annoying and the G-Sync implementation is just pure garbarge. I think I am going to replace it with the AW2721D.
I have the odyssey g7 32" and I have scanlines at the top of the screen and sometimes I notice them in some game also. Are you having the same issue?
I did have before the last update 1009.3 before that one but I don't have any issues right now. I have not tested hdr with the new one to see which I will soon.
@@DisplayReality Mine has the 1011.0 update and I still see them, can you please tell me which settings are you using?
Am i blind? I can't tell the difference in Contrast levels
It's easier to see on an oled screen as say iPads show similar. But the Contrast is not too bad once you get immersed in the game.
What you prefer?
G7... just for the picture Depth and I do like VA. But again the LGs flat panel and sRGB mode make it a great buy for creators. Plus gsync on the LG has for sure no issues.
@@DisplayReality 我也有这两款 跟你的想法一样 我的是老款g7 140hz
The LG looks fantastic viewed on my G7. Does that mean the LG is that good or does it mean my G7 is that good. I'm confused.
U still have g7?
Compare HDR on these monitors
I have seen them and the G7 wins. The LG barely gets any brighter than in sdr mode. But sure in a future video... thx
I buy one Samsung G7 today my Asus Rog Strix xg32VQ broke down at 2 years and 2 months.
The VQ was great I almost got that 2 years ago too but instead got the available Dell s3220DGF. But the G7 is king...
My Asus ROG SWIFT PG27VQ screen failed at 2 years and 2 weeks. It was a TN panel, and considering the issues that both IPS and VA have, I'm thinking of sticking with TN, but the options are very limited so I don't know.
I still take G7 way better more options
I also would give the edge to the G7.
Lol yes but it's 200€ pricer in my country so...
Curved display is a must
Which one is better? Odyssey g5 32” (C32G55) or LG Ultragear 32GP850?
VA G5? The LG is better with no smear as that VA G5 is weak vs the premium G7. It's still good but rtings shows more smear on the G5
@@DisplayReality thank you so much, it’s hard to find these kind of infos!
Scusa, e mi fai la recensione di questi 2 monitor, collegati a una Xbox di 60Hz?
Ridicolo
i monitor vengono utilizzati per una varietà di dispositivi, non solo per i PC
둘다 써봤는데 장시간 사용시 LG는 눈이 아픔니다.
삼성이 더 좋습니다.
VA패널도 훌룡합니다, 옛날va패널이 아닙니다.
Xbox consoles frame double so you should keep the console set at 120hz even when playing 60fps games and you'll half your input lag
For the vs my splitter can't do 120hz. I get flicker when trying to do both. I'll try to see if an hdmi 2.1 splitter let's me do it for vs videos. Vrr needed to be disabled because I would get shutoffs.
QLED is superior. Why outdated LCD's still used?
"QLED" is just quantum dot enhanced led's being used as backlighting for an lcd panel, when lcd tv's first came around they used ccfl for the backlight, then came "led-tv" which was still just an lcd panel but with led's as the backlight, same with "qled" it's still just an lcd panel but with quantum dot enhanced led's for the backlight
for me its horrible with this game, got the G7,, you stand outside a house and look in through the door and its pitch black inside untill your are a few meters inside the building it brightens up so you can see...
and if im inside looking out, the ground shines brighter then the damn sun.. blinding you. screen itself is good all my games looks fantastic but this game is shit with this screen
Odyssey G 7 is worst monitor ever
What!! ... lol It's in my top 3... I love it..
