Dude! Auto Source Switch! I LOVE YOU MAN! As a person who broke his OSD control on my old monitor for having to switch sources back and forth between my work and gaming pc I was already feeling uncomfortable at the though of having to mess with that every day. I also did not notice the scroll bar. Can't imagine how much I appreciate it!
OHHHH MY GOD DUDE!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! i just got my new monitor and after finally affording to upgrade my gpu to a 3070 and running 240 hz i got unplayable flickering. this completely fixed it for me
Thank you bro I had this flickering issue for quite a while! I had to keep on turning off the monitor but now I dont have to do that anymore. Thank you
I run 3 in a triple sim racing setup, all of mine flicker until this new update sorted it out. My only other problem is I have to turn all my screens on manually the next day is there any settings that can make the monitors turn on with pc pain in the arse keep trying to get to my center screen power button?
I set this on and VRR go's up to 235hz @ 235 fps in doom eternal with my samsung g9 so its not up to 144hz unless i am missing something some games have issues with insane tearing display corruption issues like wow or valheim or days gone unless vrr is on but doom eternal runs just fine no issues
Hey, My Black Equalizer, Response Time, Refresh Rate and Low Input Lag are also greyed out when switching on Adaptive-Sync, does this mean they are working but just not modifiable, or are they disabled?
Thanks. Play around with black equalizer or it's just the power that does it. I have it as well but only when turning my tv on or off that's next to it.
Whe I turn VRR on the monitor (G7) I get more pronounced Horizontal lines visable at the top of web browser. I turn VRR on in windows as well and it doesn't go away. A game {AoE4} flickers bad if VRR is not on. turning G sync off stopped the flickering but everything looks bad.
Hey mate i just got the 27" model no flickering luckly, curiosity though but it dose not feel super bright to me especially the hdr seems kinda dim, how have you found it with brightness. What settings do you use?
I always turn the brightness down to 0 to save power and because its dark most of the time where i use it. So my settings won't do you any good. Play around with the dynamic brightness and local dimming.
Hey man have you ever encountered an issue with pc crashing and gpu fans going full speed. I recently got a g7 odyssey and the crashing started. I bought a new gpu, ram and it still crashes. using latest nvidia drivers as well
i tried turning VRR on, but i still get black screen interminttently when i play video games. this is a problem that only started recently. i have updated firmware 1014.1, turned on VRR, but it still goes black from time to time when im gaming. i even tried to reinstall windows 10 home. all NVIDIA drivers up to date, and 1.4 DP setting on the monitor. am i missing somethging?
I don't think you're missing something. Maybe check your power? My monitor is a pain when i turn off the tv next to it. It also goes to black a couple of times but i never have it with games. Maybe turn off HDR (or on).
Fixed flickering for me! Also fixed some weird issues I was having in warzone. I couldn’t be happier. And turning VRR on doesn’t look like it caps my refresh rate to 144 hrz. Everything runs as smooth as it always has. I don’t believe you need to turn VRR on in windows either. The flickering went away by just turning it on in the the menu of the monitor. I don’t see any reason to mess with windows settings.
Haha I’m worser. I own the Neo g9 for almost 2 years and since a week I discovered this setting 🤦🏾♂️ It indeed helped with all the flickering issues I had in games. I already tried a different cable and updated to latest firmware. Kinda accepted it until I found out VRR 🙈

The power went out the other day and now my windows is zoomed in about 200% and it favours the left side of the screen. After an hour of trying to diag the issue thinking it was windows, i discovered it was a monitor issue. When ever i enable free sync it does this, when i disable it now it goes to normal scale/zoom.

You need to put it in pc mode and you can turn vrr on in the ps5 settings but only works when the monitor is in pc mode not av,this is for the Samsung g70a
If you're getting flickering, the problem that causes this is that the provided Samsung Display Port is not a high quality, and it will flicker for sure at 240hz. You'll need to purchase a VESA Certified 1.4 Display Port cable, and you should be all set. I was getting flickering etc. with the provided Samsung Display Port and realized that was the cause of it. Also, do use some setting that you purchased to get the maximum out of your monitor.
@@RebelDrifter updating the firmware for sure fixed a lot things, but if you go back and plug back in the original supplied DP cable , you will get flickering and occasionally black screen foe a quick second while playing. I tried it a couple of months ago and wow, what a cheap DP cable. Samsung shouldn't of added them if not at least a 1.2 Vesa certified. I run 1.4. Cheers!
@@RebelDrifter what are the best picture settings for PS5 cause I just bought this monitor yesterday and I want to get the most out of this monitor. Also I am not able to change the low input lag as it’s grayed out for me. I have gsync off

@@RebelDrifter Yeah like less then an hour now seriously hope for pixel perfect screen for all i care with horrible back light bleeding, rather that or popping sounds then a single dead or stuck pixel, altho if i do happen to get 1 stuck pixel i hope its as small as the one on my 1440p acer screen cos that one is hard to see even in hard conditions, 2 out of 3 dead pixels from last screen where huge tho always visible during normal use :(
You need to enable/force vsync in nvidia control panel on windows. disable vsync in game while having gsync on. blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/2/ you shouldnt have any tearing with that.
Looks like the update fix it for me. But will test out games and update you guys. edit: looks like the update fix it... working 100% for me. thanks bro
Hi, Did you enable the Variable refresh rate in the windows settings too under graphics settings? or just the VRR from the Samsung Odyssey settings only?

Can you help me idk if you know how to fix this but I’m lagging on this monitor g7 4k 28inch 144hz on my Xbox one s 4k enabled 60fps i have a bad WiFi is it because that WiFi?
If you're lagging in-game you have wifi problems. If you have screen tearing or something resolution/monitor based problems, then it's monitor settings.
@@RebelDrifter thanks i just got a really strong wifi i use Xbox one s (is this Xbox laggy?) but I played the game that i lag on it went to 30-45 fps to 50-55 fps it’s normal right?
@FeredAlshaban I don't have the same monitor. So I can't comment on that AND you are playing console on a pc monitor but it should work just fine. For example : if you have a ps5 with HDMI 2.1 You can 120 fps. I don't think your xbox has this but it should be running 60fps i think.
Are the flickering issues still colonizing with the g7 at 60hz? I want to buy it for my pz5 but I'm worried about the flickering. And this strong curve
@@RebelDrifter its a good monitor but it has its issues, others can live with it, personally i find the flicker thingy annoying to my eyes so after a little search around i found that if you set a custom resolution to 195hz or less flicker goes away i am trying it atm it seems to work, but further testing will prove if this actually works, just sharing this in case someone else likes the monitor but has problem with hes eyes... 45hz to save your eyes its a good tradeoff, 195hz is still plenty.

@@RebelDrifter updating the firmware for sure fixed a lot things, but if you go back and plug back in the original supplied DP cable , you will get flickering and occasionally black screen foe a quick second while playing. I tried it a couple of months ago and wow, what a cheap DP cable. Samsung shouldn't of added them if not at least a 1.2 Vesa certified. I run 1.4. Cheers!
@nickm8651 thanks for the input chief. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Isn’t it better to leave gsync off cause the picture quality is way better and you get 2160p resolution and 120hz
On a console yes on a pc no
@@RebelDrifter what are the best picture settings for PS5 cause I just bought this monitor yesterday and I want to get the most out of this monitor. Also I am not able to change the low input lag as it’s grayed out for me. I have gsync off
I mostly use it on pc. Consoles dont have a lot of options on the monitor as its more of a pc screen. I cant tell you best settings as i use it for pc. And I'm very close to the screen.
Why does it only go to 144 hz if I payed for 240hz?
1 comment is okay... Not 3 😉
Can you do this on g5 ? Or are the 2 monitors different
I only know about the g7. Sorry.
I have the same issue on G5 and sadly they have not released the update to fix it
@Youssef Habib yah it's a pain. Now the supporter said that the 32" G5 only support freesync from amd cards as they listed in the manuals... So they refused my RMA or upgrading to g7
My samsung G5 does not have the vrr control setting. need help please
I don't know how different the g7 and g5 are. Update your firmware
do i need to set VRR on? just bought that monitor...
yeah it always helps!
@@RebelDrifter i didnt notice any difference except little FPS drop when its ON....
@xxxbg311 lol pc or console?
G7 Odyssey 4K 144hz - very bad ghosting. I think I have to contact Samsung and give it back on guarantee. No VRR options.
Did you update everything? Incl the firmware of the monitor? Console or pc?
i bought this monitor before 3 days and it has flickering and when i turn on vvr its working normal but now i dont know i should change it or not ??
Vrr is good to turn on.
@@RebelDrifter i change the monitor or not ?
@@Think563 i did not understand you at first. If you cannot fix the problems please contact Samsung or do the monitor away.
@@RebelDrifter now with vrr open no flickering its fixed but why i must open vvr to fixed its new monitor I think to change it
@@Think563 maybe you need to research a bit more. Vrr is variable refresh rate. It's like a boost! It's good 😉 if problem is fixed, don't worry.

I downloaded the firmware update but there's no VRR option, I don't know what else to do
That's weird it should be there. Is it the same monitor?
@@RebelDrifter It's a G7 but it's the 28"
@@locus2427 inches should not matter but weird!!!
@@RebelDrifter The only firmware on the website is the 1008.1, do you have a link to a better one?
Google Samsung G7 firmware. On my 32 there's a 1014.1 firmware
Still stuttering with me when in some games when I use VRR
That sux
Same here.
My new samsung g9 arives today old one arived with 3 dead pixels then 1 revived then 1 new dead pixel appeared, hopefully better luck today if not i guess im done trying and will return it for refund this time.
Geez! Good luck bro.
@@RebelDrifter Yeah like less then an hour now seriously hope for pixel perfect screen for all i care with horrible back light bleeding, rather that or popping sounds then a single dead or stuck pixel, altho if i do happen to get 1 stuck pixel i hope its as small as the one on my 1440p acer screen cos that one is hard to see even in hard conditions, 2 out of 3 dead pixels from last screen where huge tho always visible during normal use :(
@@Arokhantos if it's not perfect send it back! You have rights as a customer. So... Let us know how it goes.
I have screen tearing now...with v sinq and 4 fps below refresh.....
Ugh... That sux
@@RebelDrifter yeah that really sucks... hope maby fix with new driver
You need to enable/force vsync in nvidia control panel on windows. disable vsync in game while having gsync on. blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/2/
you shouldnt have any tearing with that.
@@fragdq i did but stil tearing...
Yeah so vsync ON on the Nvidia control panel / windows. Vsync OFF in the game options.
Mooie gozer op je achtergrond
xD
Looks like the update fix it for me. But will test out games and update you guys.
edit: looks like the update fix it... working 100% for me. thanks bro
Hi, Did you enable the Variable refresh rate in the windows settings too under graphics settings? or just the VRR from the Samsung Odyssey settings only?
Both
@RiSKey Nguyen, The latest update doesn't work for me. There is still screen light flickering.
@@Kyoshirokyo for me also . this people are shills who say is fixed. 240 hz flickers with the patch
why tf is vrr down there, I JUST NOTICED AND IT FIXED MY FLICKERING HOLY SHIT

VRR option is not available for some reason?
Pc or console?
Did you update the monitor?
Is adaptive sync OR freesync ON or OFF?
@@RebelDrifter That's it I needed to copy the firmware on a flash and update it lol
@@Alpha-AI681 please like and subscribe 😉
VRR Off - Flickering ( between 90 - 160hz) but stutterfree gaming
VRR On - No flickering but constant stuttering
Samsung G7 Odyssey 32" 240Hz (new firmware)
That's weird. If you can't get it sorted hit up Samsung
My g70a doesn’t have that vrr option
Yeah I don't know how different they are... Sorry
@@RebelDrifter is ok I fixed the flicker issues I was having when using my ps5 on the monitor. I just changed the 4k transfer rate from auto to-2
@@NsaneVapez nice! 👍
Can you help me idk if you know how to fix this but I’m lagging on this monitor g7 4k 28inch 144hz on my Xbox one s 4k enabled 60fps i have a bad WiFi is it because that WiFi?
If you're lagging in-game you have wifi problems. If you have screen tearing or something resolution/monitor based problems, then it's monitor settings.
@@RebelDrifter thanks i just got a really strong wifi i use Xbox one s (is this Xbox laggy?) but I played the game that i lag on it went to 30-45 fps to 50-55 fps it’s normal right?
@FeredAlshaban I don't have the same monitor. So I can't comment on that AND you are playing console on a pc monitor but it should work just fine. For example : if you have a ps5 with HDMI 2.1 You can 120 fps. I don't think your xbox has this but it should be running 60fps i think.
@@RebelDrifter I’m going to get a pc soon i hope it works like it must be
@FeredAlshaban use Displayport 1.4 + displayport cable on pc please. Not hdmi. Good luck.
Are the flickering issues still colonizing with the g7 at 60hz? I want to buy it for my pz5 but I'm worried about the flickering. And this strong curve
I think ps5 should be no problem.
On pc it's a different story however i am still on an old update file. I need to update to latest firmware.
no it doesnt . Its a fake fix and LCF is removed

VRR it stills flickers still horizonal lines flashing and increased input latency. so i turn it off..... or even better i will RMA this piece of junk
Yeah if you think it's poop just do it.
@@RebelDrifter its a good monitor but it has its issues, others can live with it, personally i find the flicker thingy annoying to my eyes so after a little search around i found that if you set a custom resolution to 195hz or less flicker goes away i am trying it atm it seems to work, but further testing will prove if this actually works, just sharing this in case someone else likes the monitor but has problem with hes eyes... 45hz to save your eyes its a good tradeoff, 195hz is still plenty.
@@Christopher_42 thanks. Yeah i never really had it as you describe after the updates. And playing around with the settings sometimes helps it as well. Black eq in particular.
@@RebelDrifter I had 3 different unit's all had the same issue and more I guess I was unlucky..

No problem buddy. Keep learning and if there's more I can help you with just holler at me. 😊
I feel like this monitor is garbage, I have one , it has many many issues.
Many issues it has or has had sure but calling it garbage? Nah.
it's not garbage, I have a odyssey g9 and it's awesome. A few things here and their but gets the job done! I got it for 795$ used, I'd suggest going for used, sold by amazon warehouse.
so I'm sure the G7 is pretty good but if you didn't get the G7 yet then just go for the g9.
