NOTE: title updated to reflect these 2 monitors as my BEST picks for 2024 'LCD' PS5 monitors. There are new 32" OLED monitors which you may prefer which were released this year. PART 1 of this quest for the BEST Monitor here: ruclips.net/video/s_3O5rM3_eo/видео.html BEST PS5 Headset Comparison video here: ruclips.net/video/KKhlx1SMFOg/видео.html
Nice break down of the product in day-to-day scenarios, after searching a lot, finally I ordered mine as this this serves the home office and console set up, got it for like $700...the quality on RUclips looks great when side by side with other monitors, can't wait to try it out :)
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Ya makes sense, that's why I ended up buying it too.. watched a lot of RUclips videos hah. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am 🙏
Another great video, you are the only person who has spoken about certain points on these monitors and the Sony M9 monitor for usage with a m1 powered MacBook Pro and PS5, subscribed 🎉
I share your opinion about VA being better than IPS because of better contrast but fading colors on different angle views. I care about what is in front of me, not what someone else around the monitor sees.
Just purchased this based on your review, so thank you! I read in comments below that you decided to stick to the G7 for every day use. Are there any setting changes that you can share to take advantage of it working for my PS5?
Thank you for watching Austin! the only settings i played with was turning on and off contrast enhancer, was pretty satisfied with the image quality and refresh rate out the box.. I'm sure there's people somewhere on the internet who have some advice though, will let you know if I come across anything.
You are most welcome Lenni! if you're shopping for a monitor now, make sure to consider the new oled 4k 32 inch monitors.. idk if they're all out yet but look interesting and thanks for watching!
@@seifbuys Thanks! i always wanted an oled as a monitor because i also have oled as a tv. but unfortunately they are always in 21:9 format and have built-in fans. since I prefer to play on the monitor like you, I wanted to test the Samsung. I currently have 1800r and I think 1000r will also fit well. I use it for ps5 and Series x.
Ya I hear ya! I'm hoping one day PS5 and Xbox will support the ultra wide format so I could justify buying one of those 21:9 monitors myself and experience 1800R. Maybe on the yet to be released pro console versions for this generation🤞
@@seifbuys Today the Neo G7 finally arrived. The picture is perfect! Unfortunately, I have the problem that after about 1 hour of playing Hogwarts, the picture goes black for 2 seconds. Then it comes back. After a few minutes it went black again. more frequently. Until the game crashes. I had never played that before and had played it for 20 hours. It was the same in another game. Did you have that too? Was on the Xbox Series X
@@MasterBen117 Hey! sorry not sure how i missed responding to this 🤦♂️. Def sounds like a defective unit in that case man. Can't say I've experienced the same issue or any issues at all so far. I've only been using it for ps5 and macbook though not sure if that matters.
@@Train3131 thanks for watching and kind comment! that's the apple pure platinum nike band that came with my apple watch series 6 back in the day. I don't believe they sell that exact design anymore, but you can find knock offs which look good quality on Amazon from brands like 'Lerobo'. Just search on Amazon for 'Nike perforated apple watch band'. Hope you find what ur looking for 🙏
Hey Frankie, I just googled God Of War Ragnarok wallpaper and this was one of the first ones I came across. Wish there were more high quality ones tbh so I can switch it up.
Hey Joseph, i've just been using default settings. Sometimes I'll turn on contrast enhancer mode for some extra umf but that's it. Also make sure refresh rate is maxed out for ps5.
@@seifbuys how bout local dimming? Contrast looks fantastic when LD is on high but the blooming gets a lot more noticeable and response times get slower. Also idk if it’s just me but I found the ps5 to look better at 120 over 165hz as it starts looking a smidge blurry in some rpg?
@@josepharan484 Hey bro, not sure tbh, I think the default, wtv that is, but i'll double check when Im home and let ya know. Ya makes sense with the refresh rate, ps5 max is 120 anyway
Sweet, happy you managed to get your hands on one. I just stuck with defaults tbh and turn on contrast enhancer when I feel like it. Interested to hear what you find works best
Hey Sanket, I think if you're looking for the better color accuracy, you'll probably want to go with the GQ950, but I edit videos for RUclips just fine on my Neo G7. If i really care about color accuracy I just reference/ color grade on my macbook pro which is more color accurate than any of these monitors. The curves on the Neo G7 might distract or annoy you when video editing or photoshop. I personally don't have any issue with it though.
@@seifbuys I don't have a MacBook and not planning to get one because I have high-end PC specs like 4090 and i9 13900k and I was impressed with the odessy neo-G7 gaming performance and I wanted to go with G7 but because my work is video and photo editing I thought I should go with lg 32gq950 because it's more color accurate but after watching your review I am confused which one should I go with Btw I already own a 24-inch 1080p monitor but it's not color-accurate and doesn't compliment my PC specs that's why I'm searching for a good 4k 32-inch monitor that is good for gaming and productivity uses
@@sanketjadhav2481 Oh I see! in that case I would go with the GQ950 Sanket. You'll be losing out on the better contrast of the Neo G7, but in return you're getting a flat panel with slightly better color accuracy.
@@jasonrodgers6192 No, you cannot manually adjust HDR settings directly on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7’s monitor menu when HDR is enabled. This is typical for most monitors because HDR content is designed to take full control of color, contrast, and brightness to provide the best dynamic range. What You Can Adjust: While you can’t change HDR settings directly on the monitor, there are some adjustments you can make: 1. Local Dimming: • Go to Menu > Picture > Local Dimming. • Set it to High for the best contrast and HDR effect. 2. Brightness: • The monitor may lock brightness adjustments when HDR is active. However, you can control this in the HDR calibration on your PS5. 3. Black Equalizer: • You can adjust the Black Equalizer setting to make dark areas brighter without affecting overall HDR. PS5 HDR Calibration: 1. On your PS5, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR. 2. Follow the prompts to calibrate HDR. This will set the peak brightness and tone mapping for your monitor. By using these options, you can still influence the HDR output and optimize your viewing experience without directly adjusting HDR settings on the monitor itself.
@@seifbuys thanks dude..one more question….would I be able to borrow a laptop someone and change the settings from there? Because my Lg looks WASHED in hdr..it’s a LG 32 ultra gear
@@jasonrodgers6192 np bro, and hmm if I'm understanding you correctly, no. The settings you change on the laptop would be tied to the laptop and not the monitor. If you’re experiencing washed-out colors on your LG 32-inch UltraGear monitor, there are several adjustments and troubleshooting steps you can take to improve the image quality. Washed-out colors are often caused by incorrect display settings, color profiles, or connection issues. Here’s what you can do: 1. Check the Connection and Cable • Use a high-quality DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0/2.1 cable. Low-quality or incompatible cables can affect color accuracy. • Ensure the cable is properly connected, and try using a different port (e.g., switch from HDMI to DisplayPort) to see if the issue persists. 2. Adjust Monitor Settings 1. Press the joystick button under the monitor to access the Settings menu. 2. Go to Picture Adjust and make the following changes: • Picture Mode: Set to Gamer 1 or Custom. Avoid using modes like HDR Effect or sRGB, which can sometimes make colors appear washed out. • Black Stabilizer: Set this between 50-60. Higher values can wash out darker tones. • Brightness: Lower it if it’s too high (try around 70-80). • Contrast: Set to 70-80 for balanced contrast. • Gamma: Choose Mode 2 or Mode 3. This can help deepen colors and improve contrast. • Color Temperature: Set it to Warm or User, and adjust the RGB values if needed. 3. Disable HDR (If Active) • HDR can sometimes make the screen look washed out, especially if the content isn’t true HDR or if the software isn’t handling it properly. • To turn off HDR: • Go to the monitor settings: Settings > Picture Adjust > HDR and set it to Off. • On your PC or console, also disable HDR in the display settings. 4. Check Windows Display Settings (For PC Users) 1. Right-click on your desktop and go to Display settings. 2. Scroll down to Advanced display settings and ensure the refresh rate is set to the maximum (e.g., 144Hz or 165Hz). 3. Go to Color settings and change the Color Profile to sRGB or the specific profile for your monitor (e.g., LG UltraGear ICC profile). 5. Adjust NVIDIA or AMD Control Panel Settings (For PC Users) • NVIDIA Control Panel: 1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Adjust desktop color settings. 2. Set Digital Vibrance to around 60-70% to boost color saturation. 3. Under Output Dynamic Range, select Full (0-255) instead of Limited (16-235). • AMD Radeon Software: 1. Open Radeon Software > Display. 2. Ensure Pixel Format is set to Full RGB (4:4:4). 3. Increase Saturation if the colors still look washed out. 6. Calibrate Your Monitor • Use the built-in Windows Color Calibration tool: 1. Open Settings > Display > Color calibration. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust gamma, brightness, contrast, and color balance. 7. Update Monitor Firmware and Drivers • Check the LG website for the latest firmware updates for your UltraGear monitor. • Update your GPU drivers (NVIDIA or AMD) to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Additional Tips: • If you’re using the monitor with a console (PS5 or Xbox), ensure the console’s RGB range is set to Full. • Avoid using features like Dynamic Contrast or Super Resolution+, as they can affect color accuracy. These steps should help restore vibrant and accurate colors on your LG UltraGear monitor. Hope that helps! 🙏
@@seifbuys thanks but once hdr setting is turned on all other options are greyed out….u just are stuck basically lol but thank you bro for taking the time out to help…I may still get the monitor since it’s on sale
Ya I did quite a bit actually, even asked SpawnPoiint for his opinion since he was one of the first to get that 27" lg oled monitor. He mentioned the text clarity on the LG 27GR95QE-B is not as sharp because it's 1440p and recommended the LG GQ950 over it if I was going to use it for work and ps5. Made sense to me plus the risk of burn in when using the monitor for work is all too real. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 gives you black levels and contrast that is about 80% as good as oled imo, has much better text clarity than the 1440p oled monitors currently available, and I just appreciate the bigger 32inch screen size for both work and gaming tbh (I tried 27 inch with the Sony InZone M9 and wasn't my cup of tea even on my fairly small desk).
@@seifbuys Thank you for the detailed reply. I also had the inzone m9 and while the size didn't both me, the searching for input happened way too often and way too long. It's good to know the curve doesn't both you for productivity. I'd be using a monitor alongside my ps5 for photo and video editing.
@@Aariahjames Np! Sweet, ya I ran into same issue with the InZone M9 actually. And cool, ya I love it for editing my RUclips videos and all, and only thing I would say is the colors are not too 'accurate' and maybe I could dabble with settings and all to get them closer to whatever 'accurate' is but I just reference my macbook pro display when color grading and that solves that.
Hey man, thanks for watching! It is not working perfect, like sometimes the monitor will angle down slowly over time and I'm not able to tilt it up and down with ease, but for my Neo G7, currently using the 'VIVO Heavy Duty Single 17 to 35 inch Monitor Pneumatic Spring Arm Stand': amzn.to/45kupPq Though if I had a bigger/more normal size desk (mine is tiny) and if I had a little more room behind my desk, I would have went for the 'VIVO Premium Aluminum Heavy Duty Monitor Arm for Ultrawide Monitors up to 49 inches and 33 lbs': amzn.to/3Ov3p9X Currently considering trying out a much more expensive ergotron though to see if it will allow more ease in maneuverability while maintaining space saving on my tiny desk: amzn.to/3oppgF9 Best of luck deciding!
The text clarity is great! One of the best gaming monitors for text clarity actually. I work on this monitor more than I use it for gaming and no complaints.
@@nastronomical Yes, on the samsung odyssey neo G7 that I review in the vid. The LG GQ950 also has really clear text but I think the samsung is slightly better and has all the benefits i mention with the better black levels and contrast.
Hey Kardamon, that Myolnir thor hammer came with the God of War Jotnar limited edition. Not sure you can buy it still, I checked Amazon though and looks like you can buy other Thor hammer replicas but not the exact one you see in this video.
Thanks! Def my fave monitor so far 🙏. As for the audeze, both the audeze penrose and the new audeze maxwell have non replaceable batteries as far as I know. The new Audeze Maxwell has an 80 hr battery life though which I can confirm is accurate/not inflated for advertising.. so if there i'm ever is any battery degradation, I imagine it would still beat out most replaceable battery gaming headsets for some time to come in terms of battery life. If you're considering the new audeze maxwell though def also consider the new turtle beach stealth pro, I bough both and loving them though I still prefer that audeze sound, there might be some features on the new turtle beach stealth pro that you prefer.. including but not limited to replaceable batteries. Though I think they too are proprietary, can't say for sure.
Hey Craig, yes confirming they should work with Mac Studio M2 with no issues. They will not 'power it' though. You will have to plug in your max studio into a power outlet like normal.
@@seifbuys thanks so much ahh yes they don't have usb-c ports? silly question what would be the best setup for lets say the neo g7 with a ps5 and mac studio? would you put the studio through HDMI? thanks again
heya - had to look that up, looks great based on reviews, but I think what your giving up is good contrast. Like I don't think the blacks are as black as the odyssey neo G7 32 inch nor the odyssey neo g8 32 inch. But where you are giving up in contrast your getting those extra 11" of screen size. Personally I would stick with smaller screen and better contrast.. especially for a monitor.. but idk what your setup looks like 🤔
@@seifbuys appreciate it. I was more so thinking of how it could act as a TV for me as well if I slap a firestick on it. I currently play on a 28” Ben Q and miss playing on a TV to really enjoy single player games on a bigger screen, but I didn’t want to sacrifice 1ms or the potential 120-144hz by going solely TV.
Do you know if the Neo G7’s auto dimming is not as aggressive as an OLED tv like the LG C2. I just ordered a Neo G7 after the LG C2 brightness dimming started getting really annoying
Hey Monte, can't say I've experienced or noticed this 'auto dimming' on neither my LG CX oled tv nor my Samsung odyssey neo G7. Hope the neo G7 serves you well!
@@seifbuys ok thank you! Yea I do know the Neo G7 has much higher brightness, especially in the whites, compared to the LG C2. So I think that will help as well. I love the C2 but yea when it’s a screen of mainly white or yellow or any bright color, it just seems to be not bright enough to feel punchy. Overall I know the color is better on OLED but then the brightness is lower. So I’m excited to try out the Neo. Great video btw!
Just bought neo g7. Will be using with ps5 only. What speakers do you recommend? They will need to plug into monitor. I have also a headset pulse. But sometimes l like speakers and this monitor doesnt have any!
Glad to hear Rob! hope you enjoy it as much as I have been. I haven't tried any gaming speakers myself so can't say. I always use headset when gaming on the monitor.. but tbh it's good that this doesn't have speakers because if it did it would be horrible anyway (that's what i've noticed on monitors that have speakers built in) so we might have ended up paying more for something we would never use. My thoughts anyway.
Worth mentioning VA is actually quite hard to produce at the level and quality that Samsung does. In the TV space VA is pretty amazing and the go-to for traditional panel technologies but in the monitor space, it's pretty much only Samsung who is producing them with such great levels of colour space coverage, low response times and mitigated black smearing. The Neo G7 is an exceptional VA panel, particularly among monitors. A lot of TV manufacturers who have good VA panels also source their panels from Samsung. Additionally, VA's native contrast ratio helps to significantly reduce blooming in MiniLED full-array local dimming, so that's the cherry on top.
@@seifbuys He's half correct from the information I can find, TCL began producing HVA (their branding for fast VA) panels via their CSOT manufacturing arm but this technology is apparently derived from patents based on the technology Samsung itself produced for their Neo G7 and G8 and G9. Patents which they sold at the end of 2022 to TCL. Since then, Samsung have subcontracted TCL to produce panels for the very same monitors, meaning that newer G7s and such use TCLs HVA CSOT panels from 2023 and beyond, but it is the same technology just different manufacturer. It is also why most Samsung TVs and monitors using VA source their panels from TCL since 2023. So I was not wrong, but he's not wrong either. Either way, it's the exact same technology for high response VAs that have no black smearing. It makes no difference, the patents being sold and panels being made by TCL is actually a good thing for MiniLED technology since good VA technology is now more widely available outside of Samsung. There are other brands now using the same technology and branding it with terms like "Rapid VA" such as MSI. You can find information on this patent handover on HDTVTest.co.uk, the channel's website for news and information. I can't post a direct link due to RUclips deleting comments with links. You can also search "Samsung Display Sells its patents to TCL" to find many more articles on the subject.
In short that means if you bought the Neo G7 in 2022, it uses a Samsung VA, and after 2022 then it will probably be using a TCL CSOT panel based on the same technology, unless you were sold old stock. It makes no difference at the end of the day.
Would the Neo G8 still be a solid choice for the PS5? That seems to be more readily available in Canada compared to the Neo G7, for whatever reason. I'm not seeing the Neo G7 anywhere, unfortunately.
hey Orville, thanks for watching! yes it certainly would! I imagine they've long since sorted out any kinks that were present on that model when originally released. Plus I see what you mean on Amazon Canada the neo G8 looks like a much better value (not sure why the Neo G7 is going for the same or more in price). All in all, if ur cool with the white back (which i honestly prefer now looking at it 👀), I would go for Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 today.
I want to ask one thing about neo g7. Problem with eyes strain. Do you notice it for example when you playing PS5 more that 30 minutes? Honestly I have already tried all possible settings neo g7. As if there is sand in the eyes (((((
Hey! can't say I've had any issue personally and I've been mainly using it for productivity/work these days (every day since I bought it pretty much).. literally using it now to reply to you haha. But I do know there is a setting called 'Eye Care' in 'Menu' >> 'Picture' >> 'Eye Care' if you want to try that see if it helps without impacting the image quality too much..
@@seifbuys 'Eye Care', yes) I`ve already tried this, but it didn`t help(((( some bloggers talk about flicker. I notice it when i played PS5 and VRR is off (try take slow mo 240hz via iphone). When i turn on VRR flicker is gone, but it not resolve eyes problem ((
Would be better to buy the Neo G7 over the Acer Predator XB323QK mainly for PS5? Also DTS X Headphone on the GQ950 connected to speakers make a difference? Out of these what would be the best choice?
Hey Ismael, I would choose the Odyssey Neo G7 over the Acer Predator and the GQ950. I didn't use the DTS X headphone port on the gq950 and not sure if it makes a difference for speakers as it is a headphone port. I haven't heard anybody say it is a big selling feature though. In my opinion the image quality and immersion in terms of the black levels and contrast on the Odyssey Neo G7 make it a much better choice for gaming.
Hi thanks for the dimostration.. what do you think instead about samsung odissey g7 g70b? i don't like curved monitor on a 32"....and neo g7 is not g-sync like g7 g70b.......is better odissey g7 g70b or lg gq950 ?I also really like the lg
Hey Diego, while I don't have personal experience with the samsung g70B myself, Rtings had this to say: "The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a higher-end version of the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, so it's better overall. The main difference is that the Neo G7 has a VA panel with Mini LED backlighting, resulting in a much better contrast and local dimming feature. It also gets brighter in HDR, particularly with smaller highlights. On the other hand, the G70B has better motion handling as there's less overshoot." sourced from here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75-vs-samsung-odyssey-g7-g70b-s32bg70/33691/34834?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
whereas they had this to say when comparing the g70b to the LG gq950: "The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 and the LG 32GQ950-B are both excellent 4k gaming monitors. They each have a 144Hz refresh rate, but the LG is overclockable to 160Hz for a slightly smoother feel. The LG gets much brighter in HDR to make highlights pop, but if you want to use the monitor in a well-lit room, the Samsung has better reflection handling. Also, the Samsung has better motion handling with 60Hz signals, but the LG has lower input lag at 60Hz for a more responsive feel." sourced from: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-32gq950-b-vs-samsung-odyssey-g7-g70b-s32bg70/33379/34834?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
@@seifbuys ok thank u very much I know samsung remains the best,I read all the specifications and I know the VA is better for that, many peoples say the neo g8 even better for the anti-reflective. I will consider carefully and thank again
I would still go with the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 as of today. I been using it since I made this video, it's the one I kept. Been using for ps5 and work/macbook and no complaints so far.
@@ronnienewman8079 it means it's native 4k but can be downscaled to the lower resolution of 1440p if needed. 4k is better than 1440p though so not sure why you'd want to do that unless trying to get refresh rates above 120hz maybe like the monitor can go up to 165 hz if you're gaming on a PC i'm pretty sure.
Okay the penn role I can see my main question is it like the oceanbeach elite 800 were I need to update every few months ? I'm waiting on my geo g7 due to the fact the g7 was defective at purchase and gave up on it ,#1 #2 im currently using the ps5 headset can you make a comparison on the penn role vs ps5 headset ? Pls
Hey Frankie, thanks for watching! okay, so no, the Audeze Penrose doesn't require an update every few months. I've only updated it once and had it for pretty much a year now. Though I do recommend you buy the new Audeze Maxwell headset instead of the Penrose unless the Penrose is a lot cheaper or you really want simultaneous bluetooth and wireless. As for your second question, I have already made a video comparing the Audeze Penrose to the 'PS5 Headset' I assume by PS5 headset you are talking about the Sony H9, if so, it's mentioned in the video here: ruclips.net/video/KKhlx1SMFOg/видео.html If instead you are talking about the PS5 Pulse 3D Headset, then all the headphones I talk about in the above video are better than that PS5 headset in every way except price.
@@frankiemojica2517 oh yes, I believe they just changed the colour and called it new. I bought the original pulse 3D headset when i bought my ps5 and sold it almost immediately. The sound just can't compare to any of the more premium headsets. It is definitely just a budget headset which is definitely good for the price but the sound quality and overall features are outmatched by all the headsets I talk about in my headset video. The Audeze Maxwell is definitely the best PS5 headset by a lot (I finally received mine couple days ago and have been using it daily).. so definitely buy that if you are looking for the best PS5 headset and have the budget for it ofcourse.
@@seifbuys only thing that kept me from getting watched so many videos of Neo g7 Neo g8 like u said in the video pointless getting Neo g8 for console in some tests Neo g7 outperforms the g8 will deffo buy it as selling my m28u and spare ps5
It will look weird if you have them exactly side by side stuck to each other. But with some space in between you can put the Neo G7 side by side with a flat monitor. That's what I do and it works great for me.
Can you do on a oddasey g7 vs neo g7 My g7 was I guess defective which I got it brand new send it for repairs twice and they can't fix it so I order the neo g7 getting it tomorrow there both 1000r curved what is the difference beside the extra 700$ difference?
Hey Frankie, the old G7 is only 1440p, doesn't have as many local dimming zones or mini led and is overall just less capable than the neo G7. You can see all the differences side by side on Rtings website here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-g7-c32g75t-vs-samsung-odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75/14315/33691?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
Thanks Michal! interesting, those are both the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.. only thing I can think of is that they're probably just different model numbers for different regions. Like Europe vs North America. I can't say for sure though.
Bros a rare breed of samsung mac users ahaha respect, samsung is the goat of displays thank you for this video the neo is on sale at best buy and I'm definitely pulling trigger
I wonder if I could get your opinion on something wasn't sure what monitor to get won't be using it for a pc for a while I don't have the desktop stuff that cost more I had my eye on 3 monitors odyssey g7 neo 32 odyssey g7 neo 43 and odyssey g9 49 what would be best for ps5 and movies I couldn't find g8 at jb hi fi or Harvey Norman I also had my eye on alienware aw3423dw but I saw a review from RUclips he said it wasn't a good choice for the ps5
hmm okay so if you're looking at monitor sizes in the 40 inch range and up which would be best for movies.. I would start considering the LG C3 lineup.. I think it would be better for movies and gaming (but not too well suited for desktop use). If desktop use outside of gaming and movies is in your horizon then i would check out all the new 4k OLED options at the 32 inch screen size from different brands that have been recently released. I believe LG, alienware, ASUS, and samsung recently launched some amazing monitors OLED monitors at that size that also have good enough text clarity for desktop use. But if you're worried about oled burn in which honestly would make sense if you're primarily using for desktop use at some point, then VA panels on the 32 inch Odyssey Neo G7 might still be the move. I heard a lot of issues from my friends with the Odyssey G9 with his PC.. and he bought it twice and they both had issues so idk on that. Hope that helps!
@seifbuys thank you so much I'm new to getting a monitor and pc stuff I just heard about the burn stuff I didn't know that existed until now I probably stream on my ps5 I hope that burn doesn't happen
@@redmistofthebloodymist3383 Glad to be of help! 🙏 yes, I don't think it's an issue on these newer OLED monitors because they know people will be using it for desktop use.. but we can't know for sure I guess.

@@maciej3306 thanks for watching! 1) the Odyssey Neo G8 with its 240hz would only matter if you're gaming on a PC since PS5 tops out at 120HZ. I heard of ppl saying that monitor has 'scanline' issues, and I've heard others say it has no scanline issues. So unless you really need more than 165Hz, I would stick with Odyssey Neo G7. 2) S32BG752NN / LS32BG752NNXGO
Thank you very much for your answer! I believe you and therefore I definitely don't need a monitor with a higher frequency than 165hz, so I'm looking for my g7 neo :)
I found this one: Odyssey G7 LS32BG750NUXEN Please could you help me and tell me if this is the right model? I'm already lost in my search, and I just happened to find this one at a pretty good price
I’m highly interested in this monitor. I’m more towards 60Hz single player console games, especially RPG/Open world games. Doing productivity works (excel, word, web browsing) Previously, i was into Dell G32223Q but seeing the atrocious input lag of ~20ms at 60Hz, i held my purchase. And Dell AW3225QF having potential burn in issues as it’s a QD OLED panel, and input lag of ~12ms at 60Hz. Not to mention it’s very pricey. But this is my first going to experience VA panel & curved display.
Sounds good! I have been using the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 daily since I made this video for work and gaming (both story games and multiplayer) and no complaints to be honest. The only thing I am thinking now is maybe I want to try out one of the many new 32 inch OLED 4K gaming monitors that have recently been released. There's a risk of burn in but I'm curious to see if anything actually happens myself and if the text clarity is as good as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.. might make a video comparing if i'm able to get my hands on one of those monitors.
@@seifbuys another question: did you run into any flickering issues so far? Especially when playing ps5 games that run 60hz or even during productivity works? When i dived deep into several reddit forums, many reported flickering issues on neo G7, especially when the FPS dropped around 50-80Hz.
@@zaryl2k Interesting, can't say i've run into any issues with flickering on my end on mine, no. But I am aware Samsung has somewhat of a reputation for QA issues/differences between panels. Though honestly I've experienced issues with LG monitors flickering and retaining images (even tho it's an IPS) so who knows. Just gotta hope you get one that works proper the first time I guess.
What's up my brother by any chance do you have good settings for the G7 mine's got here yesterday when I plug into my PS5 it look alright it didn't look that impressive if you have any tips on color and how to make a better for the PS5 please let me know I appreciate it or if you think it's already outdated should I get another monitor please let me know I still in time to return it😂
@@thefhangout3449 hey brother! thanks for stopping by 👋 okay, so for me I didn't have to change much I still use the monitor daily to this day, if you want to play around with optimal settings, try this: 1. PS5 Console Settings • Resolution: Set to 2160p (4K). • HDR: On When Supported. • VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Enabled (the Neo G7 supports VRR). • 120Hz Output: Automatic (for smoother gameplay on supported titles). • Deep Color Output: Automatic. • RGB Range: Set to Automatic. 2. Odyssey Neo G7 Monitor Settings • Picture Mode: Use Game Mode. • Adaptive Sync (VRR): On (this will reduce screen tearing). • Black Equalizer: Set around 10-13 (this depends on your room’s lighting). • Local Dimming: High (to maximize contrast and HDR performance). • Response Time: Faster or Fastest (this minimizes motion blur). • Brightness: Adjust based on your environment (typically around 70-80 for bright rooms). • Contrast: 75-85. • Sharpness: Keep it at 60. • Color: 50. • Gamma: Mode 1 or Mode 2, depending on your preference. • Eye Saver Mode: Off (for accurate colors). • HDR: On (ensure HDR is enabled for both the monitor and the PS5). 3. Advanced Tips • Make sure the Neo G7 firmware is updated to the latest version for the best compatibility and features. • Use an HDMI 2.1 cable to connect the PS5 for full 4K 120Hz support. • If you’re experiencing issues with HDR, try setting the HDR calibration in the PS5 settings. This setup should give you an optimal balance of image quality, low input lag, and smooth gameplay.
@@thefhangout3449 and bro, as for whether this is still the best monitor for ps5 I would say best LCD monitor yes, but I've been eyeing that new LG 32 inch OLED one 😍... it's not too far off price wise I don't think so def consider that! i'm just not sure how good the text and everything will be when using with macbook and risk of burn in but oh boy, am I tempted to buy it to try it out 🤔
@@seifbuys it's kind of hard because I play on my samsung s90d but it's too damn big I'm used to oled picture quality but I'm good with mini led 👍 but it doesn't look like mini led you told me to make sure the HDR is on in the monitor how you do that I don't see no option to put it on on the monitor unless I'm wrong and it's already on by default and I really appreciate it my brother thank you
@@seifbuys both of the HDMI ports are 2.1 or is just only one because when I check the information it says 2.0^ on that little information tap inside the monitor
@@thefhangout3449 1. Press the Menu button (joystick control) on the back of the monitor. 2. Navigate to Settings > Picture. 3. Go to Input Signal Plus and make sure it is Enabled for the HDMI port you are using. This unlocks HDR functionality. 4. Go back to the Picture menu and enable HDR Mode (it should turn on automatically when HDR content is detected). HDR will only activate automatically when you play HDR content (games or media). • Keep the monitor firmware updated for improved HDR performance. If HDR still doesn’t activate, double-check that the game or content you are using supports HDR.
Wonder for this monitors never try curved monitor , about samsung have speakers for my ps5 but LG have AMD FreeSync and NVidia G-Sync ( wonder this worth it) , samsung only for amd. Use one monitor for PC and PS5.
Hey Aleksandar, thanks for watching! Personally, I think the benefits of higher contrast outweigh the cons. So I would still go with Samsung so long as you are okay with a curved monitor.
The LG is just massively overprized. It is not even in the same ballpark as the Samsung with its shitty fake hdr. In this price class you should absolutely watch for good hdr and you can even get new QD Oleds for this. Both options are pretty good choices with its own drawbacks. If you do much office work and productivity I would take miniled, otherwise Oled absolutely kills it for content consumption and pixel response times and perfect contrast of course. We finally live in good gdr times.
This is false I got this a week ago and I have had multiple issues with this monitor and it screen flickers every 2 minuets when I try playing any game I took this piece of shit back and went back to my old monitor and ZERO ISSUES
Sure, thanks for watching! I believe you may have received a faulty unit. Happens. Can confirm I have had no such issues with my Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and have been using daily for 10 hours or often longer for several months now.
Hi there, I have a question for you, I brought two different gaming monitor one was 27 inch and the other was 32 inch both were curved, I liked the 32 inch one cause it was a bit bigger, I'm still thinking of getting the Samsung Neo g7 32 inch gaming monitor, but here's the thing no built in speaker, which is a bummer. No worries I'll get a good mini sound bar for it, and this doesn't support allm, but however it's at least support vrr though, which it's alright with me, now every time I tried looking for a different similar 32 inch gaming monitor, I keep coming back to this one though! So what I'm trying to say is do you at least know which other gaming monitor is better but with the same color as the Samsung neo g7, but also 32 inches, please and thank!! ;P
Hey JP! If you're spending this much on a monitor, I would definitely get a good speaker and/or headset too. There is no monitor built in speaker system that is half decent, they're all horrible from what I have seen, that's why I think they don't even bother having it built in on these high end monitors. And sorry no, i'm not aware of any other 32 inch gaming monitor that's out now that comes close to the benefits of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and G8. Sorry couldn't be of more help. Thanks for watching and hope you find your ideal monitor!
No worries, I'm probably still going to get Samsung neo g7, cause it's looks a lot better then neo g8, cause of the way it look on the back too while. The way I heard is that Samsung neo g7 is now $999 dollars, from Walmart, Best buy, and Amazon, since I have a refund gift card on Amazon I can get it for $852.39, but I'm wondering if I should get it from Walmart or Best Buy, rather than Amazon? Oh and do you know what/which is the best mini speaker to match the Samsung neo g7 by any chance?
@@jpwoods7642 Hey JP, sorry for delayed response bro. Did you end up buying it? I usually always go with Amazon because they have the most lenient return policy and customer experience. Not sure if they sell it in Costco in the US, but if they did, I would probably buy it from there since my understanding is they have 90 day return policy on electronics and super cheap additional warranty coverage... but I doubt they sell the Neo G7 there. Best mini speaker? not sure man, my desk is too small for any speaker, I just use the sound out of my macbook pro when I'm using that and I use gaming headsets when I'm on playstation.
No worries, haven't bought it yet, will though soon, brought a new gaming desk and a new vivo stand for the Samsung Neo g7 32 inch gaming monitor!!! ;P Oh and plus will also buy a good mini speaker for it too!!
I had the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7. I ended up returning it. The blooming was too strong and the highlights were muted most of the time compared to my Acer Predator X27, which unfortunately got defective. Also the supposed better contrast didn't really feel any better, it felt crushed so that details would be lost and turning off contrast enhancer or lowering the black equalizer would make the contrast worse than on a IPS panel, because of the aggressive local dimming that you need in order to reach bright HDR highlights. Colors weren't accurate on my unit either. It was actually extremely bad. Extremely oversaturated red & blue that felt like it's hue was shifted heavily. It just wasn't worth it in my opinion. I would rather hold off until the 32 inches 4K QD-OLED monitors hits the market.
thanks for sharing Optimus! I can see what you mean with the panel looking a tad oversaturated in some scenarios. very valid points you raised! Haven't bothered me enough to return it though/still think it's the best 4k monitor with commendable HDR at this screen size that we'll have for the next while. when an OLED comes out with 4k I imagine I may stay away because I use this a lot for work and burn in risk is very real. will have to wait and see!
huh? can't say i've noticed any black smearing and neither have i heard any professional reviewer bring that up as an issue with samsung odyssey neo G7. The only black smearing i've ever experienced was on a much cheaper LG monitor, the 32GN600-B
hmm what makes you say that? but yes! having a bigger screen definitely has its benefits over the monitors, at least for single player games. There are now 4k OLED gaming monitors as well which makes the decision of which is best even less clear cut.
@@seifbuys It's a dual t.v./monitor. I went through two Odyssey's before finding out that the LG C series is a better monitor than the odyssey line even though it's listed as a t.v. If you get your hands on one, you'll see what I mean.
@@SooHooSamaSito Ya fair enough I know, I've got the 65" LG CX and love it. I think I mention that some people might be better served getting that if they don't have one already 🤔 and I even showcase it for comparison in the video. You can't beat oled for contrast, motion responsiveness, and deep blacks that's for sure . But for having it on your desk, I find it hard for most people to prefer a 42inch C series oled. At least I know that wouldn't even fit on my desk.
@@seifbuys Spot on with the size issue and it being on a desk. However, I do find the C7 to be quite comfortable to the eyes at about 3-4 ft of distance which amazes me. It's the quality control issues and the scammy warranty program from Samsung that concerns me in regards to their products. I have had bad experiences with numurous televisions and monitors from Samsung and a lot of folks may not realize that some t.v.s are not only more affordable, but they work better than Samsung's products, even as monitors. Have a great holidays mate.
@@SooHooSamaSito makes sense! can't say i've had much experience with defective Samsung products, this neo G7 is my only samsung product.. but fair point. I don't like it when they mess with warranty specifics and all that. Can see how that is in bad taste on their part. You too bru! happy holidays 🙏
How does the G7 compare to that new LG 27" 1440p OLED monitor? specifically for PS5 too... I'm torn between the Neo G7 with the 4k for PS5 & the OLED LG 27" flat & thin screen for PS5. I guess I'm unsure how 1440p will look for PS5, will there be a tonne less sharpness compared to the neo G7 etc. I'm currently on a 4k 60hz old samsung monitor from 2019 with dogshit fake hdr.
Hey Wildfire, can't speak from personal experience since I haven't used that new LG 27" OLED monitor. But I did ask SpawnPoiint on his opinion in one of his vids and he agreed with what I thought that if you're using the monitor primarily for work then the 4K resolution benefit and bigger screen outclasses the better contrast and lower resolution that the 27inch OLED offers. But if you're using it primarily for gaming and barely/not at all for work/everyday browsing, then sure go for the 27inch oled. As for deciding between the Neo G7 and the 27" LG OLED, I would/did go with the Neo G7 since it gives you that 4k which is definitely noticeable for text and especially when working/browsing on the monitor outside of gaming. Also the bigger screen imo more than makes up for the slightly worse contrast in comparison to OLED. So in short, Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 all day everyday.. at least currently imo. Hope that helps!
@@seifbuys Interesting What about pricing? Currently the Odyssey G7 Neo is £1099 but I can get the LG Oled for £930 as it's discounted. And another thing I would need to upgrade my vesa mount for the Neo G7 because of the size & weight exceeds my current monitor limitations. The LG looks amazing, is a thin & sleek design with better response times for gaming (it'd primarily be for gaming and content creation for me). But the lack of 4K & the risk of burn in has me concerned. Is 4K Vs 1440p really noticeable at 27"?? Ive only ever had 1080p or 4k 60hz monitors
@@WildfireX ahh I see. My understanding is for gaming, 1440p vs 4k won't make much of a difference especially at 27inch screen size. As for using it for content creation, I personally would be too concerned about burn in and the 1440p would prob be passable thought text def won't be as crisp as on 4k. Ya the Neo G7 is def not the best on a monitor arm unless it's heavy duty. I imagine the 27inch oled would be much easier to maneuver on any monitor arm. I would still go for Neo G7 and just upgrade my monitor arm tbh.. but depends what kind of budget you're working with for sure. You're basically paying extra to remove risk of burn in, get a bigger screen with higher resolution, but worse build quality and will likely need a new monitor arm, and getting slightly less contrast. Ngl though, the 27inch oled does look real sleek, like def nicer looking than the Neo G7. Though I use my monitor with its back facing window so wouldn't really appreciate the monitor design in either case since all I see is the front of the display in most/all use.

Is the Neo G7 good for productivity like video editing Photoshop or I should go with lg 32gq950 Please guide me I'm so confused
Hey Sanket, I think if you're looking for the better color accuracy, you'll probably want to go with the GQ950, but I edit videos for RUclips just fine on my Neo G7.
If i really care about color accuracy I just reference/ color grade on my macbook pro which is more color accurate than any of these monitors.
The curves on the Neo G7 might distract or annoy you when video editing or photoshop. I personally don't have any issue with it though.
@@seifbuys I don't have a MacBook and not planning to get one because I have high-end PC specs like 4090 and i9 13900k and I was impressed with the odessy neo-G7 gaming performance and I wanted to go with G7 but because my work is video and photo editing I thought I should go with lg 32gq950 because it's more color accurate but after watching your review I am confused which one should I go with
Btw I already own a 24-inch 1080p monitor but it's not color-accurate and doesn't compliment my PC specs that's why I'm searching for a good 4k 32-inch monitor that is good for gaming and productivity uses
@@sanketjadhav2481 Oh I see! in that case I would go with the GQ950 Sanket. You'll be losing out on the better contrast of the Neo G7, but in return you're getting a flat panel with slightly better color accuracy.

Can you adjust the hdr in the monitor menu …I have an LG and you can not
@@jasonrodgers6192 No, you cannot manually adjust HDR settings directly on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7’s monitor menu when HDR is enabled. This is typical for most monitors because HDR content is designed to take full control of color, contrast, and brightness to provide the best dynamic range.
What You Can Adjust:
While you can’t change HDR settings directly on the monitor, there are some adjustments you can make:
1. Local Dimming:
• Go to Menu > Picture > Local Dimming.
• Set it to High for the best contrast and HDR effect.
2. Brightness:
• The monitor may lock brightness adjustments when HDR is active. However, you can control this in the HDR calibration on your PS5.
3. Black Equalizer:
• You can adjust the Black Equalizer setting to make dark areas brighter without affecting overall HDR.
PS5 HDR Calibration:
1. On your PS5, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR.
2. Follow the prompts to calibrate HDR. This will set the peak brightness and tone mapping for your monitor.
By using these options, you can still influence the HDR output and optimize your viewing experience without directly adjusting HDR settings on the monitor itself.
@@seifbuys thanks dude..one more question….would I be able to borrow a laptop someone and change the settings from there? Because my Lg looks WASHED in hdr..it’s a LG 32 ultra gear
@@jasonrodgers6192 np bro, and hmm if I'm understanding you correctly, no. The settings you change on the laptop would be tied to the laptop and not the monitor.
If you’re experiencing washed-out colors on your LG 32-inch UltraGear monitor, there are several adjustments and troubleshooting steps you can take to improve the image quality. Washed-out colors are often caused by incorrect display settings, color profiles, or connection issues. Here’s what you can do:
1. Check the Connection and Cable
• Use a high-quality DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0/2.1 cable. Low-quality or incompatible cables can affect color accuracy.
• Ensure the cable is properly connected, and try using a different port (e.g., switch from HDMI to DisplayPort) to see if the issue persists.
2. Adjust Monitor Settings
1. Press the joystick button under the monitor to access the Settings menu.
2. Go to Picture Adjust and make the following changes:
• Picture Mode: Set to Gamer 1 or Custom. Avoid using modes like HDR Effect or sRGB, which can sometimes make colors appear washed out.
• Black Stabilizer: Set this between 50-60. Higher values can wash out darker tones.
• Brightness: Lower it if it’s too high (try around 70-80).
• Contrast: Set to 70-80 for balanced contrast.
• Gamma: Choose Mode 2 or Mode 3. This can help deepen colors and improve contrast.
• Color Temperature: Set it to Warm or User, and adjust the RGB values if needed.
3. Disable HDR (If Active)
• HDR can sometimes make the screen look washed out, especially if the content isn’t true HDR or if the software isn’t handling it properly.
• To turn off HDR:
• Go to the monitor settings: Settings > Picture Adjust > HDR and set it to Off.
• On your PC or console, also disable HDR in the display settings.
4. Check Windows Display Settings (For PC Users)
1. Right-click on your desktop and go to Display settings.
2. Scroll down to Advanced display settings and ensure the refresh rate is set to the maximum (e.g., 144Hz or 165Hz).
3. Go to Color settings and change the Color Profile to sRGB or the specific profile for your monitor (e.g., LG UltraGear ICC profile).
5. Adjust NVIDIA or AMD Control Panel Settings (For PC Users)
• NVIDIA Control Panel:
1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Adjust desktop color settings.
2. Set Digital Vibrance to around 60-70% to boost color saturation.
3. Under Output Dynamic Range, select Full (0-255) instead of Limited (16-235).
• AMD Radeon Software:
1. Open Radeon Software > Display.
2. Ensure Pixel Format is set to Full RGB (4:4:4).
3. Increase Saturation if the colors still look washed out.
6. Calibrate Your Monitor
• Use the built-in Windows Color Calibration tool:
1. Open Settings > Display > Color calibration.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust gamma, brightness, contrast, and color balance.
7. Update Monitor Firmware and Drivers
• Check the LG website for the latest firmware updates for your UltraGear monitor.
• Update your GPU drivers (NVIDIA or AMD) to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Additional Tips:
• If you’re using the monitor with a console (PS5 or Xbox), ensure the console’s RGB range is set to Full.
• Avoid using features like Dynamic Contrast or Super Resolution+, as they can affect color accuracy.
These steps should help restore vibrant and accurate colors on your LG UltraGear monitor. Hope that helps! 🙏

Did you debate on purchasing a LG 27GR95QE-B for ps5 and work? I'm torn between the oled and the Neo.
Ya I did quite a bit actually, even asked SpawnPoiint for his opinion since he was one of the first to get that 27" lg oled monitor. He mentioned the text clarity on the LG 27GR95QE-B is not as sharp because it's 1440p and recommended the LG GQ950 over it if I was going to use it for work and ps5.
Made sense to me plus the risk of burn in when using the monitor for work is all too real. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 gives you black levels and contrast that is about 80% as good as oled imo, has much better text clarity than the 1440p oled monitors currently available, and I just appreciate the bigger 32inch screen size for both work and gaming tbh (I tried 27 inch with the Sony InZone M9 and wasn't my cup of tea even on my fairly small desk).
@@seifbuys Thank you for the detailed reply. I also had the inzone m9 and while the size didn't both me, the searching for input happened way too often and way too long.
It's good to know the curve doesn't both you for productivity. I'd be using a monitor alongside my ps5 for photo and video editing.
@@Aariahjames Np! Sweet, ya I ran into same issue with the InZone M9 actually.
And cool, ya I love it for editing my RUclips videos and all, and only thing I would say is the colors are not too 'accurate' and maybe I could dabble with settings and all to get them closer to whatever 'accurate' is but I just reference my macbook pro display when color grading and that solves that.
My man love the review. What monitor arm are you using for the Neo g7?
Hey man, thanks for watching! It is not working perfect, like sometimes the monitor will angle down slowly over time and I'm not able to tilt it up and down with ease, but for my Neo G7, currently using the 'VIVO Heavy Duty Single 17 to 35 inch Monitor Pneumatic Spring Arm Stand': amzn.to/45kupPq
Though if I had a bigger/more normal size desk (mine is tiny) and if I had a little more room behind my desk, I would have went for the 'VIVO Premium Aluminum Heavy Duty Monitor Arm for Ultrawide Monitors up to 49 inches and 33 lbs': amzn.to/3Ov3p9X
Currently considering trying out a much more expensive ergotron though to see if it will allow more ease in maneuverability while maintaining space saving on my tiny desk: amzn.to/3oppgF9
Best of luck deciding!

The LG GQ950 also has really clear text but I think the samsung is slightly better and has all the benefits i mention with the better black levels and contrast.
can you give a link where did you get the thor hummer ?
Share it plz
Hey Kardamon, that Myolnir thor hammer came with the God of War Jotnar limited edition. Not sure you can buy it still, I checked Amazon though and looks like you can buy other Thor hammer replicas but not the exact one you see in this video.
Amazing review seriously considering the neo g7 for my new rig. Does the Audeze headset have a replaceable non oem proprietary battery?
Thanks! Def my fave monitor so far 🙏. As for the audeze, both the audeze penrose and the new audeze maxwell have non replaceable batteries as far as I know. The new Audeze Maxwell has an 80 hr battery life though which I can confirm is accurate/not inflated for advertising.. so if there i'm ever is any battery degradation, I imagine it would still beat out most replaceable battery gaming headsets for some time to come in terms of battery life.
If you're considering the new audeze maxwell though def also consider the new turtle beach stealth pro, I bough both and loving them though I still prefer that audeze sound, there might be some features on the new turtle beach stealth pro that you prefer.. including but not limited to replaceable batteries. Though I think they too are proprietary, can't say for sure.
Hey.. thanks for making this.

hi can any of these be used with mac studio m2? will they power it ?
Hey Craig, yes confirming they should work with Mac Studio M2 with no issues. They will not 'power it' though. You will have to plug in your max studio into a power outlet like normal.
@@seifbuys thanks so much ahh yes they don't have usb-c ports? silly question what would be the best setup for lets say the neo g7 with a ps5 and mac studio? would you put the studio through HDMI? thanks again
I know this video is old, but how do you feel about the 43" 4K G7 Samsung Monitor for a PS5 or the Pro?
heya - had to look that up, looks great based on reviews, but I think what your giving up is good contrast. Like I don't think the blacks are as black as the odyssey neo G7 32 inch nor the odyssey neo g8 32 inch. But where you are giving up in contrast your getting those extra 11" of screen size. Personally I would stick with smaller screen and better contrast.. especially for a monitor.. but idk what your setup looks like 🤔
@@seifbuys appreciate it. I was more so thinking of how it could act as a TV for me as well if I slap a firestick on it. I currently play on a 28” Ben Q and miss playing on a TV to really enjoy single player games on a bigger screen, but I didn’t want to sacrifice 1ms or the potential 120-144hz by going solely TV.
Do you know if the Neo G7’s auto dimming is not as aggressive as an OLED tv like the LG C2. I just ordered a Neo G7 after the LG C2 brightness dimming started getting really annoying
Hey Monte, can't say I've experienced or noticed this 'auto dimming' on neither my LG CX oled tv nor my Samsung odyssey neo G7. Hope the neo G7 serves you well!
@@seifbuys ok thank you! Yea I do know the Neo G7 has much higher brightness, especially in the whites, compared to the LG C2. So I think that will help as well. I love the C2 but yea when it’s a screen of mainly white or yellow or any bright color, it just seems to be not bright enough to feel punchy. Overall I know the color is better on OLED but then the brightness is lower. So I’m excited to try out the Neo. Great video btw!
@@MonteMD cheers Monte, thanks for watching! and yess, I can see where you're coming from 💯
@@seifbuys you’re welcome! Have a good one!
Just bought neo g7. Will be using with ps5 only. What speakers do you recommend? They will need to plug into monitor. I have also a headset pulse. But sometimes l like speakers and this monitor doesnt have any!
Glad to hear Rob! hope you enjoy it as much as I have been. I haven't tried any gaming speakers myself so can't say. I always use headset when gaming on the monitor..
but tbh it's good that this doesn't have speakers because if it did it would be horrible anyway (that's what i've noticed on monitors that have speakers built in) so we might have ended up paying more for something we would never use. My thoughts anyway.
Does the Samsung C49G97T Odyssey G9 49” 5K DQHD 240Hz UltraWide Curved Screen Gaming Monitor (newer 2022 mode work for the ps5?
Hey Karl, I believe it would! just with black bars on each side since UltraWide aspect ratio isn't natively supported by PS5 I don't think..
Worth mentioning VA is actually quite hard to produce at the level and quality that Samsung does. In the TV space VA is pretty amazing and the go-to for traditional panel technologies but in the monitor space, it's pretty much only Samsung who is producing them with such great levels of colour space coverage, low response times and mitigated black smearing. The Neo G7 is an exceptional VA panel, particularly among monitors. A lot of TV manufacturers who have good VA panels also source their panels from Samsung. Additionally, VA's native contrast ratio helps to significantly reduce blooming in MiniLED full-array local dimming, so that's the cherry on top.
dang Ebisu.. thanks for dropping that knowledge, I def didn't know! 💡 🙏
It’s not SAMSUNG Va panel in Neo g7. It’s CSOT from TCL.
@@Kfc_for_chickens lol really Leslie or u pulling my leg? why would samsung buy panels from TCL? 🤔
@@seifbuys He's half correct from the information I can find, TCL began producing HVA (their branding for fast VA) panels via their CSOT manufacturing arm but this technology is apparently derived from patents based on the technology Samsung itself produced for their Neo G7 and G8 and G9. Patents which they sold at the end of 2022 to TCL. Since then, Samsung have subcontracted TCL to produce panels for the very same monitors, meaning that newer G7s and such use TCLs HVA CSOT panels from 2023 and beyond, but it is the same technology just different manufacturer. It is also why most Samsung TVs and monitors using VA source their panels from TCL since 2023.
So I was not wrong, but he's not wrong either. Either way, it's the exact same technology for high response VAs that have no black smearing. It makes no difference, the patents being sold and panels being made by TCL is actually a good thing for MiniLED technology since good VA technology is now more widely available outside of Samsung. There are other brands now using the same technology and branding it with terms like "Rapid VA" such as MSI.
You can find information on this patent handover on HDTVTest.co.uk, the channel's website for news and information. I can't post a direct link due to RUclips deleting comments with links. You can also search "Samsung Display Sells its patents to TCL" to find many more articles on the subject.
In short that means if you bought the Neo G7 in 2022, it uses a Samsung VA, and after 2022 then it will probably be using a TCL CSOT panel based on the same technology, unless you were sold old stock. It makes no difference at the end of the day.
Would the Neo G8 still be a solid choice for the PS5?
That seems to be more readily available in Canada compared to the Neo G7, for whatever reason. I'm not seeing the Neo G7 anywhere, unfortunately.
hey Orville, thanks for watching! yes it certainly would! I imagine they've long since sorted out any kinks that were present on that model when originally released. Plus I see what you mean on Amazon Canada the neo G8 looks like a much better value (not sure why the Neo G7 is going for the same or more in price). All in all, if ur cool with the white back (which i honestly prefer now looking at it 👀), I would go for Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 today.
@@seifbuys Much appreciated, thanks.
I want to ask one thing about neo g7. Problem with eyes strain. Do you notice it for example when you playing PS5 more that 30 minutes? Honestly I have already tried all possible settings neo g7. As if there is sand in the eyes (((((
Hey! can't say I've had any issue personally and I've been mainly using it for productivity/work these days (every day since I bought it pretty much).. literally using it now to reply to you haha. But I do know there is a setting called 'Eye Care' in 'Menu' >> 'Picture' >> 'Eye Care' if you want to try that see if it helps without impacting the image quality too much..
@@seifbuys 'Eye Care', yes) I`ve already tried this, but it didn`t help(((( some bloggers talk about flicker. I notice it when i played PS5 and VRR is off (try take slow mo 240hz via iphone). When i turn on VRR flicker is gone, but it not resolve eyes problem ((
Would be better to buy the Neo G7 over the Acer Predator XB323QK mainly for PS5? Also DTS X Headphone on the GQ950 connected to speakers make a difference? Out of these what would be the best choice?
Hey Ismael, I would choose the Odyssey Neo G7 over the Acer Predator and the GQ950. I didn't use the DTS X headphone port on the gq950 and not sure if it makes a difference for speakers as it is a headphone port. I haven't heard anybody say it is a big selling feature though. In my opinion the image quality and immersion in terms of the black levels and contrast on the Odyssey Neo G7 make it a much better choice for gaming.
is the Neo g7 good for cyberpunk 2077 Red dead redemption and Fortnite
for pc
yep, should be great.. I mean those are great on PS5 in this monitor so if anything experience is probably more impressive on PC
Glad I waited to buy it. Got it for 450 and the next day it was up to 600.

Hi thanks for the dimostration.. what do you think instead about samsung odissey g7 g70b? i don't like curved monitor on a 32"....and neo g7 is not g-sync like g7 g70b.......is better odissey g7 g70b or lg gq950 ?I also really like the lg
Hey Diego, while I don't have personal experience with the samsung g70B myself, Rtings had this to say:
"The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a higher-end version of the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, so it's better overall. The main difference is that the Neo G7 has a VA panel with Mini LED backlighting, resulting in a much better contrast and local dimming feature. It also gets brighter in HDR, particularly with smaller highlights. On the other hand, the G70B has better motion handling as there's less overshoot."
sourced from here: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75-vs-samsung-odyssey-g7-g70b-s32bg70/33691/34834?usage=3623&threshold=0.10
whereas they had this to say when comparing the g70b to the LG gq950:
"The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 and the LG 32GQ950-B are both excellent 4k gaming monitors. They each have a 144Hz refresh rate, but the LG is overclockable to 160Hz for a slightly smoother feel. The LG gets much brighter in HDR to make highlights pop, but if you want to use the monitor in a well-lit room, the Samsung has better reflection handling. Also, the Samsung has better motion handling with 60Hz signals, but the LG has lower input lag at 60Hz for a more responsive feel."

so suffice to say, I think the LG GQ950 could be the move for you provided you don't mind the worse reflection handling 🤔

Hey Frankie, thanks for watching! okay, so no, the Audeze Penrose doesn't require an update every few months. I've only updated it once and had it for pretty much a year now. Though I do recommend you buy the new Audeze Maxwell headset instead of the Penrose unless the Penrose is a lot cheaper or you really want simultaneous bluetooth and wireless.
As for your second question, I have already made a video comparing the Audeze Penrose to the 'PS5 Headset' I assume by PS5 headset you are talking about the Sony H9, if so, it's mentioned in the video here: ruclips.net/video/KKhlx1SMFOg/видео.html
If instead you are talking about the PS5 Pulse 3D Headset, then all the headphones I talk about in the above video are better than that PS5 headset in every way except price.
@@seifbuys its the new pulse ps5 headset
@@frankiemojica2517 oh yes, I believe they just changed the colour and called it new. I bought the original pulse 3D headset when i bought my ps5 and sold it almost immediately. The sound just can't compare to any of the more premium headsets. It is definitely just a budget headset which is definitely good for the price but the sound quality and overall features are outmatched by all the headsets I talk about in my headset video.
The Audeze Maxwell is definitely the best PS5 headset by a lot (I finally received mine couple days ago and have been using it daily).. so definitely buy that if you are looking for the best PS5 headset and have the budget for it ofcourse.

I wonder if I could get your opinion on something wasn't sure what monitor to get won't be using it for a pc for a while I don't have the desktop stuff that cost more I had my eye on 3 monitors odyssey g7 neo 32 odyssey g7 neo 43 and odyssey g9 49 what would be best for ps5 and movies I couldn't find g8 at jb hi fi or Harvey Norman I also had my eye on alienware aw3423dw but I saw a review from RUclips he said it wasn't a good choice for the ps5
hmm okay so if you're looking at monitor sizes in the 40 inch range and up which would be best for movies.. I would start considering the LG C3 lineup.. I think it would be better for movies and gaming (but not too well suited for desktop use). If desktop use outside of gaming and movies is in your horizon then i would check out all the new 4k OLED options at the 32 inch screen size from different brands that have been recently released. I believe LG, alienware, ASUS, and samsung recently launched some amazing monitors OLED monitors at that size that also have good enough text clarity for desktop use. But if you're worried about oled burn in which honestly would make sense if you're primarily using for desktop use at some point, then VA panels on the 32 inch Odyssey Neo G7 might still be the move. I heard a lot of issues from my friends with the Odyssey G9 with his PC.. and he bought it twice and they both had issues so idk on that. Hope that helps!

I found this one: Odyssey G7 LS32BG750NUXEN
Please could you help me and tell me if this is the right model? I'm already lost in my search, and I just happened to find this one at a pretty good price
I’m highly interested in this monitor.
I’m more towards 60Hz single player console games, especially RPG/Open world games.
Doing productivity works (excel, word, web browsing)
Previously, i was into Dell G32223Q but seeing the atrocious input lag of ~20ms at 60Hz, i held my purchase.
And Dell AW3225QF having potential burn in issues as it’s a QD OLED panel, and input lag of ~12ms at 60Hz. Not to mention it’s very pricey.
But this is my first going to experience VA panel & curved display.
Sounds good! I have been using the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 daily since I made this video for work and gaming (both story games and multiplayer) and no complaints to be honest.
The only thing I am thinking now is maybe I want to try out one of the many new 32 inch OLED 4K gaming monitors that have recently been released. There's a risk of burn in but I'm curious to see if anything actually happens myself and if the text clarity is as good as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.. might make a video comparing if i'm able to get my hands on one of those monitors.
@@seifbuys another question: did you run into any flickering issues so far? Especially when playing ps5 games that run 60hz or even during productivity works?
When i dived deep into several reddit forums, many reported flickering issues on neo G7, especially when the FPS dropped around 50-80Hz.
@@zaryl2k Interesting, can't say i've run into any issues with flickering on my end on mine, no. But I am aware Samsung has somewhat of a reputation for QA issues/differences between panels. Though honestly I've experienced issues with LG monitors flickering and retaining images (even tho it's an IPS) so who knows. Just gotta hope you get one that works proper the first time I guess.
What's up my brother by any chance do you have good settings for the G7 mine's got here yesterday when I plug into my PS5 it look alright it didn't look that impressive if you have any tips on color and how to make a better for the PS5 please let me know I appreciate it or if you think it's already outdated should I get another monitor please let me know I still in time to return it😂
@@thefhangout3449 hey brother! thanks for stopping by 👋 okay, so for me I didn't have to change much I still use the monitor daily to this day, if you want to play around with optimal settings, try this:
1. PS5 Console Settings
• Resolution: Set to 2160p (4K).
• HDR: On When Supported.
• VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Enabled (the Neo G7 supports VRR).
• 120Hz Output: Automatic (for smoother gameplay on supported titles).
• Deep Color Output: Automatic.
• RGB Range: Set to Automatic.
2. Odyssey Neo G7 Monitor Settings
• Picture Mode: Use Game Mode.
• Adaptive Sync (VRR): On (this will reduce screen tearing).
• Black Equalizer: Set around 10-13 (this depends on your room’s lighting).
• Local Dimming: High (to maximize contrast and HDR performance).
• Response Time: Faster or Fastest (this minimizes motion blur).
• Brightness: Adjust based on your environment (typically around 70-80 for bright rooms).
• Contrast: 75-85.
• Sharpness: Keep it at 60.
• Color: 50.
• Gamma: Mode 1 or Mode 2, depending on your preference.
• Eye Saver Mode: Off (for accurate colors).
• HDR: On (ensure HDR is enabled for both the monitor and the PS5).
3. Advanced Tips
• Make sure the Neo G7 firmware is updated to the latest version for the best compatibility and features.
• Use an HDMI 2.1 cable to connect the PS5 for full 4K 120Hz support.
• If you’re experiencing issues with HDR, try setting the HDR calibration in the PS5 settings.
This setup should give you an optimal balance of image quality, low input lag, and smooth gameplay.

Wonder for this monitors never try curved monitor , about samsung have speakers for my ps5 but LG have AMD FreeSync and NVidia G-Sync ( wonder this worth it) , samsung only for amd. Use one monitor for PC and PS5.
Hey Aleksandar, thanks for watching! Personally, I think the benefits of higher contrast outweigh the cons. So I would still go with Samsung so long as you are okay with a curved monitor.
The LG is just massively overprized. It is not even in the same ballpark as the Samsung with its shitty fake hdr. In this price class you should absolutely watch for good hdr and you can even get new QD Oleds for this. Both options are pretty good choices with its own drawbacks. If you do much office work and productivity I would take miniled, otherwise Oled absolutely kills it for content consumption and pixel response times and perfect contrast of course. We finally live in good gdr times.
Thanks for adding your 2 cents 🙏
This is false I got this a week ago and I have had multiple issues with this monitor and it screen flickers every 2 minuets when I try playing any game I took this piece of shit back and went back to my old monitor and ZERO ISSUES

Hi there, I have a question for you, I brought two different gaming monitor one was 27 inch and the other was 32 inch both were curved, I liked the 32 inch one cause it was a bit bigger, I'm still thinking of getting the Samsung Neo g7 32 inch gaming monitor, but here's the thing no built in speaker, which is a bummer. No worries I'll get a good mini sound bar for it, and this doesn't support allm, but however it's at least support vrr though, which it's alright with me, now every time I tried looking for a different similar 32 inch gaming monitor, I keep coming back to this one though! So what I'm trying to say is do you at least know which other gaming monitor is better but with the same color as the Samsung neo g7, but also 32 inches, please and thank!! ;P
Hey JP! If you're spending this much on a monitor, I would definitely get a good speaker and/or headset too. There is no monitor built in speaker system that is half decent, they're all horrible from what I have seen, that's why I think they don't even bother having it built in on these high end monitors.
And sorry no, i'm not aware of any other 32 inch gaming monitor that's out now that comes close to the benefits of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and G8.
Sorry couldn't be of more help. Thanks for watching and hope you find your ideal monitor!

Oh and do you know what/which is the best mini speaker to match the Samsung neo g7 by any chance?
@@jpwoods7642 Hey JP, sorry for delayed response bro. Did you end up buying it? I usually always go with Amazon because they have the most lenient return policy and customer experience.

Best mini speaker? not sure man, my desk is too small for any speaker, I just use the sound out of my macbook pro when I'm using that and I use gaming headsets when I'm on playstation.

I had the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7.
I ended up returning it.
The blooming was too strong and the highlights were muted most of the time compared to my Acer Predator X27, which unfortunately got defective.
Also the supposed better contrast didn't really feel any better, it felt crushed so that details would be lost and turning off contrast enhancer or lowering the black equalizer would make the contrast worse than on a IPS panel, because of the aggressive local dimming that you need in order to reach bright HDR highlights.
Colors weren't accurate on my unit either.
It was actually extremely bad. Extremely oversaturated red & blue that felt like it's hue was shifted heavily.
It just wasn't worth it in my opinion. I would rather hold off until the 32 inches 4K QD-OLED monitors hits the market.
thanks for sharing Optimus! I can see what you mean with the panel looking a tad oversaturated in some scenarios. very valid points you raised! Haven't bothered me enough to return it though/still think it's the best 4k monitor with commendable HDR at this screen size that we'll have for the next while. when an OLED comes out with 4k I imagine I may stay away because I use this a lot for work and burn in risk is very real. will have to wait and see!
Good comment! Everyone so hyped about this monitor so much, so the literally blind about it's obvious weak points ;(
I got Neo g7 for around 550usd. A friend got me employee discount. Nice video anyways
Sweet, glad to hear Kaif! thanks for watching hope you're enjoying it as much as I am 🙏
@seifbuys yeah, it's been great so far.
Any other discounts for the homies ahah
Too bad the black smearing is awful for VA panels still
huh? can't say i've noticed any black smearing and neither have i heard any professional reviewer bring that up as an issue with samsung odyssey neo G7.
The only black smearing i've ever experienced was on a much cheaper LG monitor, the 32GN600-B
Tv is best for PS5 oled one... not gaming monitor..
hmm what makes you say that? but yes! having a bigger screen definitely has its benefits over the monitors, at least for single player games. There are now 4k OLED gaming monitors as well which makes the decision of which is best even less clear cut.
1299 dollar monitor…. No problem
lol facts
LG C series is better for PS5.
like the OLED tvs you mean? this is a vid about monitors
@@seifbuys It's a dual t.v./monitor. I went through two Odyssey's before finding out that the LG C series is a better monitor than the odyssey line even though it's listed as a t.v. If you get your hands on one, you'll see what I mean.
@@SooHooSamaSito Ya fair enough I know, I've got the 65" LG CX and love it. I think I mention that some people might be better served getting that if they don't have one already 🤔 and I even showcase it for comparison in the video. You can't beat oled for contrast, motion responsiveness, and deep blacks that's for sure .
But for having it on your desk, I find it hard for most people to prefer a 42inch C series oled. At least I know that wouldn't even fit on my desk.
@@seifbuys Spot on with the size issue and it being on a desk. However, I do find the C7 to be quite comfortable to the eyes at about 3-4 ft of distance which amazes me. It's the quality control issues and the scammy warranty program from Samsung that concerns me in regards to their products. I have had bad experiences with numurous televisions and monitors from Samsung and a lot of folks may not realize that some t.v.s are not only more affordable, but they work better than Samsung's products, even as monitors. Have a great holidays mate.
@@SooHooSamaSito makes sense! can't say i've had much experience with defective Samsung products, this neo G7 is my only samsung product.. but fair point. I don't like it when they mess with warranty specifics and all that. Can see how that is in bad taste on their part.
You too bru! happy holidays 🙏
How does the G7 compare to that new LG 27" 1440p OLED monitor? specifically for PS5 too...
I'm torn between the Neo G7 with the 4k for PS5 & the OLED LG 27" flat & thin screen for PS5. I guess I'm unsure how 1440p will look for PS5, will there be a tonne less sharpness compared to the neo G7 etc.
I'm currently on a 4k 60hz old samsung monitor from 2019 with dogshit fake hdr.
Hey Wildfire, can't speak from personal experience since I haven't used that new LG 27" OLED monitor. But I did ask SpawnPoiint on his opinion in one of his vids and he agreed with what I thought that if you're using the monitor primarily for work then the 4K resolution benefit and bigger screen outclasses the better contrast and lower resolution that the 27inch OLED offers. But if you're using it primarily for gaming and barely/not at all for work/everyday browsing, then sure go for the 27inch oled.
As for deciding between the Neo G7 and the 27" LG OLED, I would/did go with the Neo G7 since it gives you that 4k which is definitely noticeable for text and especially when working/browsing on the monitor outside of gaming. Also the bigger screen imo more than makes up for the slightly worse contrast in comparison to OLED.
So in short, Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 all day everyday.. at least currently imo. Hope that helps!
@@seifbuys Interesting
What about pricing? Currently the Odyssey G7 Neo is £1099 but I can get the LG Oled for £930 as it's discounted.
And another thing I would need to upgrade my vesa mount for the Neo G7 because of the size & weight exceeds my current monitor limitations.
The LG looks amazing, is a thin & sleek design with better response times for gaming (it'd primarily be for gaming and content creation for me).
But the lack of 4K & the risk of burn in has me concerned. Is 4K Vs 1440p really noticeable at 27"?? Ive only ever had 1080p or 4k 60hz monitors
@@WildfireX ahh I see. My understanding is for gaming, 1440p vs 4k won't make much of a difference especially at 27inch screen size. As for using it for content creation, I personally would be too concerned about burn in and the 1440p would prob be passable thought text def won't be as crisp as on 4k.
Ya the Neo G7 is def not the best on a monitor arm unless it's heavy duty. I imagine the 27inch oled would be much easier to maneuver on any monitor arm.
I would still go for Neo G7 and just upgrade my monitor arm tbh.. but depends what kind of budget you're working with for sure. You're basically paying extra to remove risk of burn in, get a bigger screen with higher resolution, but worse build quality and will likely need a new monitor arm, and getting slightly less contrast.
Ngl though, the 27inch oled does look real sleek, like def nicer looking than the Neo G7. Though I use my monitor with its back facing window so wouldn't really appreciate the monitor design in either case since all I see is the front of the display in most/all use.
