The Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T is a 240Hz, 1440p gaming monitor, part of Samsung’s 2020 Odyssey gaming line-up and one of the few monitors available in two sizes, 27″ and 32″, that we tested. It has a refresh rate of 240 Hz and supports native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) to reduce screen tearing. It also supports G-SYNC when used with NVIDIA graphics cards. It supports native 240 Hz refresh rates and FreeSync, and supports NVIDIA’s G-SYNC. Excellent response time at maximum refresh rate and 60 Hz, resulting in less blurring. The narrow viewing angle makes it unsuitable for co-operative play, but fortunately it displays deep blacks if you want to play games in the dark. Unfortunately, there are some bugs and glitches related to VRR, which can be disappointing.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is very well suited for multimedia consumption: it has a large 32-inch screen and a high resolution of 1440p. Unfortunately, the narrow viewing angle makes it less than ideal for watching the latest videos with friends. However, it displays deep blacks, making it ideal for watching movies in dark rooms.The Samsung Odyssey G7 is ideal for media production: the 32-inch screen allows you to open several windows at once without scrolling too much. However, the screen’s aggressive curves may not be to everyone’s liking during photo editing. This curve makes the edges of the screen easier to see, but the narrow viewing angle makes the screen unsuitable for sharing with others.
If you want a high refresh rate for smooth graphics or to gain an edge in competitive titles such as Apex Legends or Call Of Duty: Warzone, you are usually limited to 1080p resolution. Meanwhile, those who want to enjoy crazy 4K graphics in games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 will need to lower the refresh rate to around 60 Hz.
But what you will definitely notice is a 1000R screen with curves so tight that Beyoncé would be envious. Most comparable monitors on the market are 1500R to 1800R, so even if you have experience of using curved displays, you will need to get used to it. In games, especially titles such as Subnautica and Elite Dangerous, the display feels enveloping and surprisingly immersive.
Add a two-port USB-A hub, Samsung’s rear core LED mood lighting, a height and tilt adjustable stand and enclosure, styling and build quality that blows most PC monitors out of the water is all that can be added. Like we said, this thing rocks on paper. In practice, it almost always does. To quickly put our biggest worries on the stand and into the history books, the G7 has an absolutely stellar pixel response. It’s fast even in the most aggressive of overdrive modes. It’s even better when overdrive is maxed out, with almost no overshoot or reverse ghosting.
