Product Information

The colour balance felt pretty good out of the box and you could tell that the screen was using a wide gamut backlight, as the colours looked vivid and bright, especially greens and reds. We have divided the table up by panel technology as well to make it easier to compare similar models. It easily gets bright enough to fight glare, and there aren't any distracting changes in brightness. It’s important to understand if the response times and overshoot will vary as the refresh rate changes. The response time at 120Hz remains incredible, and you won't notice much motion blur with fast-moving objects.

We left the LaCie software to calibrate to “max” brightness which would just retain the luminance of whatever brightness we’d set the screen to, and would not in any way try and alter the luminance at the graphics card level, which can reduce contrast ratio. Gaming escapes beyond the screen with CoreSync technology that matches your game's on-screen colours for world-blending immersion. In this section we look at the response time behaviour across the range of supported refresh rates and consider whether they are sufficient to keep up with the frame rate demands of the screen.The CIE diagram on the left of the image confirms that the monitors colour gamut (black triangle) extends a considerable way beyond the sRGB reference space (orange triangle), mostly in green and red shades.

There is an sRGB emulation mode offered by this screen though which helps cut down on some of the red and green over-coverage, but still leaves you with a slightly wider gamut than sRGB at around 116% coverage.The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 is a 32-inch, 4k gaming monitor that's also available in a 28-inch size, but it's a different product that doesn't perform the same. Response time performance may well be different than at the higher refresh rates supported, and you may need a different overdrive setting for optimal experience. In practice there was not really any difference, but if you are using the screen without adaptive-sync, the middle ‘Faster’ mode is probably the optimal setting.

If they are not then this can lead to some additional smearing and blurring on moving content as the pixels can’t keep up. There’s various things you need to consider when it comes to response times and gaming, particularly on a display with high refresh rate support.

At the full brightness setting in the OSD the maximum luminance reached a high 364 cd/m 2 which was a bit higher than the 350 cd/m 2 max brightness spec from the manufacturer (in SDR mode). The higher refresh rates supported by the screen really do help improve motion clarity and reduce perceived blur, making the screen far better for gaming than 60Hz-only models.The color temperature is a bit on the warm side, resulting in a reddish tint, and the gamma doesn't follow the sRGB target curve perfectly, so most scenes are too dark, while bright scenes are too bright. Read our detailed article about input lag and the various measurement techniques which are used to evaluate this aspect of a display. It's a newer version of the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 with many of the same features, including HDMI 2. From gloomy shadows to sun-scorched scenes, 2,000 nit peak brightness and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio enable enhanced colour expression and depth.
