1:47 a piece that has to be broken in half before being installed. Clearly samsung knew who they were sending this too, it is a new type of design school, it is called Linus-oriented design.
@Andreas Kazakov 400$? No thank you
At first I thought he broke it😑
I was like wtf when he did that
What about the lenovo 1440p*2560 240hz .5ms monitor
*to
The most revolutionary thing about this Monitor is the simple naming scheme.
@TheTurnipKing no... Depends if your a agreesive person while playing or not lol
@Very Serious Lumbago The average good monitor is going to long outlive your average smartphone.
hmmm
@Caretheis67 not now bro, G7 is the best out there, they updated and fixed this monitor
Do you know the difference between g7 75t and G7 C27G75TQSRXEN?
Him: this is so smooth 240 fps Me watching on a 60 FPS screen: hmmm i see yes very smooth.
Real original joke… ha ha ha
@Lime Varle You need OLED
LMAO
@Purvesh fff
me with 60hz and 60fps
"We are struggling to break 150 FPS on this puppy.." RTX 3080 has entered the chat.
Yep got this monitor if you,re a online gamer and you play competive this is a great monitor its perfect however if you love single player games with beauiful graphics at 4k 120 then look no further than the OLED C1 48 inch.
laughs in 3090 ti
With no games even using it
Cyberpunk has entered chat, and now ur still struggling to hit 150 on the 3080
@josh dobbins I’m gonna replace the gl850 with the g7 so that says enough. It’s the superior screen for single player experiences
The fact that this is 240hz, 1440p AND it’s a Qled with hdr and local dimming on top of DisplayPort 1.4 makes this the best gaming monitor you can possibly buy rn. Most monitors don’t even have a qled screen either.
@R Alexander you made the ignorant comment that the best panels in tvs are VA. That is blatantly wrong. You stay on topic chump.
@mikerzisu When did I mentioned OLED? I'm talking about LCD panels. Try to stay on topic.
@R Alexander you are 100% wrong. The best panel out today for tvs is the QD-OLED oled Samsung. By far.
@mikerzisu Considering the best LCD panels in TV's are VA I'd say your comment is completely false. In monitors for many years the same panel was in circulation which changed with the G7.
@Adii S doesn’t matter G5 is budget G7. cope
Linus: "Look how smooth it is! And the colors!" Me: Yeah, totally seeing that on my monitor!
Besides video is 30fps
as someone how has the 27" model. You dont notice the curve when actually using it, but then you look at it while not using it and think "wow that thing is curved." its really trippy
fam i got 32 model and iknow wtf u mean lol
I've got an old predecessor to these monitors (CFG73 line) and it too has a *very* good precalibrated sRGB profile. Like outstanding even. It came with a calibration report and so did the one I got my gf. Both vary slightly but tbh I think all monitors (and especially high-end TVs..) should come with at least one precalibrated profile. It can make a *huge* difference in terms of user experience if you're not willing to get it calibrated or can't do it yourself.
I wanted a G9 at first but after a little bit of research I came to an conclusion. The G9 is awesome but a little bit too much for me and the Resolution is not natively supported by many games. Then I saw this one and decided that I want the G7 and keep one of my old Full HD displays as secondary together on a desk mount.
I yearn for the day when I mistakenly think I have a 2080ti, and end up having a Titan RTX, instead.
for me this would be a 1050ti instead, not cos im poor, but becos my luck is shit
@Andrew Upp it's really not, the titan has never been intended for gaming, its an enterprise development card it's meant for rendering, production and CAD development lol, sure, I mean you CAN game on it, but it's not it's intention and in a lot of benchmarks the 2080ti and especially now the 30 series score much higher than the titan or any variant of the titan. They were designed for different purposes.
@Naphilim666 yeah but titan is better for some things ti is better for gaming though
@Abhishek Rathod What do you feel now 😂😂
@Kate Wolf did you really just say vram isn't an important factor in gaming? oh how wrong you are
I'd be very interested to hear how they've circumvented the issue that 5120x1440 @ 240Hz doesn't fit the bandwidth dp 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 can muster.
I normally wouldn't budget a monitor that cost this much but, doing the 3080 build should allow to have a monitor of this quality. Really curious what the fps would be on it then :D
I am about to switch away from a VA panel and was under the impression this was more of that tech. The motion blur and slow response really was noticeable to me in shooters.
Not sure if I should try to sell my 34" Alienware Ultrawide for the 32" G7 ...IDK if going back down to 16:9 would be beneficial. But overall the specs on the G7 are superb. G9 is just too much for me to even consider.
Interesting looking monitor. I had decided on this one: LG 34GN850-B, which is a 34" beast of a gaming monitor, but this samsung is making me rethink things.
That monitor is a thing of beauty, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a 27" of similar specifications that's available/cheaper?
I watched the G9 video first. Awesome intro to what is likely to be my next major purchase. I think my 1080 can handle the G7 which retails here in Aussie for around AU$1200 but I really want the G9 (AU$2900) which will also need a GPU upgrade (2080Ti at least). Close to AU$6,000 may be a bit outside my budget. LOL
That G7 would have been the perfect display if it was HDR 1000 and had HDMI 2.1
3:40 Linus: "You can see here..." Me on an old IPS panel with terrible pixel response time: "No, I cannot."
@CheapBastard1988 Im sry for you but isnt it all about linus being obsessed with da monitors?
@CheapBastard1988 the AMOLED panels inside Samsung tablets have a response time of about 6 ms, which is average. Plus you get really vibrant colors and viewing angles
All I see is 60 hz
I'm on a Samsung tablet with AMOLED screen which has awful pixel response time.
@Fuge Yeah but the old ones especially those that I've had since 2006 have gotten worse over time...
I Love your videos. I'm crossing over to PC gaming. My question is: Can I use a 60 hz monitor for my streaming PC for chat etc.. And for gaming, go all out and buy a 165 hz for gaming PC, or do they both have to be the same or equal monitors?
I pre-ordered this 32" version on Father's Day. I already have an LG32GK850G-B and Samsung C32HG70 monitor. Thinking about getting the 27" version tho for the pixel density. I used to have the Dell S271DG and I like how much sharp and crisp text and things were.
Fun Fact: If you have a power outage, then your monitor may accidentally change your aspect ratio to Super Wide with no way to change it via windows settings! The fix for this is to turn the internal PIP/PBP mode on and then off, which enables multiple displays on one monitor. This should fix your stretched desktop problem. :)
Has anyone tried to dual wield these vertically? I'm curious to see how that would work out lol
Would love to see monitors being tested for response time and color accuracy in a similar way to Hardware Unboxed.
@Seventh Taco MSI, AOC, and LG have some flat VA Panels.
@Martin S there is..
HDtv would be better
@Derek The Magnificent Bastard Then you're looking into wrong types of monitors. Exclusively VA monitors are curved, IPS and TN - not. The curve is meant for great viewing angles whereas VA is superior to other tech panels.
I mean, just go to hardware unboxed? I too am a big fan of their monitor reviews.
I'll take the G9. The G9 is basically two G7 that has been morphed together without ruining the original 16:9 aspect ratio format. Easily my favourite all the way as I can split the screen for two 16:9 QHD window.
I also noticed how the blur busters alien is noticably more crisp then even my previous 1080p 240hz monitor (Acer XF250Q). Very impressive!
I do like to know one thing that how does the QLED panel on this display compare with an IPS one. Does it really makes difference ?
Is 1440p enough for 32" font/cleartype wise on Win10? Also for sniping long distances, how well can you spot that point 300m further in an fps?
Great monitor, and I would save up for it, but that curve is such a turnoff 😔
i would really love to get this monitor for my 3080 but based on user feedback this monitor is broken every other week based on drivers im not sure if i want to put up with that
A wicked feature, when the monitor is off it puts off a low blue light onto your keyboard and desk, looks great at night.
I think I’m gonna buy this when I do my very first build. You convinced me on the nitro 5, I am happy with it, my first ever. And now I’m going all out on a build.
Linus: showing me how much better the screen is Me: watching on my old display and thinking "wow that image is better the the screen I'm watching it on....wait.."
RobertsE Butthurt is one of the weirdest phrases I know of... and yet it so aptly works when used well
than
@Qiaoxuan Ji I think you mean psychology
Anyone who doesnt get the joke doesnt know what a meme is
PinFlix ➊ no u
Is it just me or does Linus seem genuinely happier than he was before quarantine? Maybe I’m just thinking about it a bit too much, but he really does seem like he’s enjoying making videos a lot again. Either way, I hope big man’s doing okay :-)
i don't know but i think having two titan rtx(s??) should still boost your frame rate oh and you should definitely make a video about the g9!
what i wonder is, do these monitors still have VA lines? monitors from 2017 was horrible with that.
Is 32" too big for FPS? Or is it perfect for gaming?
It"s actually quite affordable, for a monitor that can question if an Titan is enough.
Eren forced me to write this it’s not 1080p, its 1440p. That’s 2k, and it’s running at almost 4x the hz as consoles.
PlayStation 5 😄😁
Did you test the monitor with Gsync or adaptive sync enabled? Early reviews on Best Buy's website indicate that there's a flickering problem.
This clip was such a tease: Linus showed the G9 in the background, all the time. For anyone interested in something more affordable, try the Samsung CRG90. It's only 120Hz, but same resolution and aspect ratio as G9.
Apple did a lot of homework before settling on 1440p 27" for iMacs when they came out. The larger ones they have now are 2160p or "5K' or "8K' at 32"... But a 40-43" 4K is still a good monitor. At a third of the price.
Just dont buy the apple ones. They are crappy as hell
reckon they excluded ALOT of their market making it curved, especially such an intense one.
Samsung "Can we have a curved power supply?" Engineer "Yes, but no."
What about RGB?
Thank you for the look at the G7. I've got the 32" coming from Amazon tomorrow! I haven't updated my monitor in about five years.
@Ádám Szabó It is for me but I'm old and my eyes suck so someone with better eyesight might notice. I think if you sit the proper distance away, it's just right.
@Ben Hamilton Thanks for your answer! Good to hear they sorted the flickering issue, it was a concern. Another thing, is the PPI enough with 1440P on a 32" monitor?
@Ádám Szabó I have to say it's been great. They updated the firmware a while back to completely get rid of the flickering. The only minor nit is that when returning from sleep the G-SYNC compatible monitor notice will pop up sometimes.
I ordered one yesterday, whats your experience after a year of use?
@yungplague G59 It looks really great! Colors and brightness are superb!
Crazy how some of these monitors are more expensive then some people's PC's
Would the G7's curve be too aggressive for video editing purposes or workable? I'd like to use it for casual gaming and editing.
If you still need the answer, the curve is fine.
This is my first curved monitor. I was waiting for Samsung to make this one for years too. Warning for first time users. Certain types of wallpapers and games, ie; Platformers and ARPG's can make you very dizzy. Took me a few days to get used to it, but now I don't think I'm ever going back to flatscreen PC monitors. First Person perspective games like Destiny 2, ARK, Fallout 4 and Satisfactory feel amazing, nearly like VR. I strongly recommend any of the 3 Odysseys! This is just a beginning for Samsung. Their next great goal(hopefully) will be to make Odyssey 2.0 but with In-Plane Switching panels. It might take a couple of years and those might be twice as expensive, but it will be worth it!
When i saw the crowbar i thought they finally made screen that's unbreakable for people that get mad and start punching their screens... but i guess i was wrong
3:37 "You can see here..." No Linus, we can't because the video is at 30 fps.
@Argus10q still looks smoother than my 144fps monitor
the brain doesn't see in frames. so limiting our sight by an fps is just absurd. personal experience though, if my games drop below 144fps into the 100-120fps range I can tell.
@KrepinTV intill u get 10fps on a game then ur saying lagg lmao
