HDR400 delivers more contrast, with deeper blacks and brighter whites to help you uncover enemies or secrets lurking in the shadows. With more pixels and greater depth, games are closer to reality than ever before. IPS panel delivers clear colors and a wide 178º viewing angle for clarity from any viewpoint. Packing in 4 times the pixel density of FHD, see games like never before. Uncover every detail with maximum clarity. It's dimmer than 'HDR Dynamic', and has a worse EOTF as all scenes are too dim.Samsung Odyssey G7 71.1cm (28″) Gaming Monitor With UHD resolution and 144hz refresh rate LS28AG700NWXXL We also checked the brightness of the 'HDR Standard' mode. We tested it in the 'HDR Dynamic' Picture Mode with Local Dimming enabled. We also checked the EOTF, which affects the brightness level of different scenes, and it doesn't follow the target PQ curve well because dark scenes are too dark, and bright scenes are over-brightened until the sharp roll-off, so you lose details in the brightest highlights. It's worse than the Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T. It barely meets its brightness requirement for the VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, and it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights stand out. The Samsung G70A has mediocre HDR peak brightness. If you care about peak brightness and also want an accurate image, the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 gets brighter and has better color accuracy. We also measured the brightness in the 'High Bright' Picture Mode before calibration, which has a slightly brighter image at the cost of image accuracy, and the gamma is terrible. We measured it in the 'Custom' Picture Mode after calibration with Brightness at '100' and Local Dimming at its max. Still, it won't be an issue for most people. It gets bright enough to fight glare in most settings, but it's a bit inconsistent across different scenes. The Samsung Odyssey G7 28's SDR peak brightness is good. Samsung released another 4k monitor, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75, that features Mini LED backlighting with a much better local dimming feature. Enabling the Local Dimming adjusts the brightness to the max, even if you set the Brightness setting lower, it doesn't do anything. There's also an 'Auto' option that turns on the local dimming when you enable HDR, and it disables it with SDR. We tested it with the Local Dimming setting at 'On'. In scenes like a star field, it won't turn on the zones if there are only a handful of small highlights, but all the zones light up if there are more bright objects, at which point the contrast looks bad. Even subtitles look terrible because it lights up everything around them. It results in distracting blooming, and it's obvious when highlights transition between the zones. It only has 8 dimming zones, which are large, and the entire zone turns on when there's a small bright highlight. The Samsung Odyssey G7 28 has a terrible edge-lit local dimming feature. Updated the firmware to 1004.0 and retested the PS5 compatibility and the accuracy. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. The monitor no longer has to be in 'PC' mode for 4k 120Hz gaming from the PS5. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's working properly. ![]() We added text to the Xbox Series S|X section of the review to clarify a few issues using this monitor with those consoles. Confirmed that 1440p 60Hz works on this monitor with the PS5.Ĭompared this monitor's SDR Brightness to that of the recently-reviewed Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, which gets brighter. ![]()
