Awesome Monitor
I have a 27" LG 4k 144Hz gaming monitor for games like Cyberpunk and God of War. But for online competitive games, I wanted something more robust. So after doing my online research, I came to a conclusion to get either this Samsung Odyssey g7 27" or Asus PG279QM. But since I found this new here on eBay for $500, which is $400 less than what the Asus would cost, I went with this even though of all the complaints I've read about the flickering. I've had this for a week now but even before I updated the firmware, I had no issues with flickering at all with any of my games. I turn the adapter sync on and G-sync on in the Nvidia Control Panel and set the V-sync to "Fast" and turn off V-sync in game and voila, no flickering, no tearing. Whether it's high FPS games like Warhammer: Vermintide II (130fps to 300+fps) or low FPS games like Cyberpunk (45fps to 75fps) RTS set to Psycho and DLSS set to quality, this monitor is amazingly fast, no tearing and .oat of all, no ghosting. Which means I can see the enemies even when I'm moving really fast. The colors are vibrant and the HDR is good enough (obviously no where as good as an OLED or MINI-LED TV). However, I do need to warn about how washed out the sceen becomes when HDR is turned on in certain games, but not all games. Oh, in Windows mode, I've set this monitor to 4k via the Nvidia Control Panel using DLDSR. I have it set side by side to my LG 27GN950-B at native 4k, the colors and textures are so similar that I can't tell the difference except for the curvature of the screen. One more negative thing, Samsung's manufacturer warranty does not start from the date of sale, but with the date of manufacture. Also, most eBay sellers are not on their official sallers list so I'm pretty sure they'll use that as an excuse to not honor the repair if you need it. So make sure you get the extra warranty within the 30 days grace period of your purchase if you do decide to get one. Overall, I cannot be more satisfied with this monitor so far.
