About this deal

Thanks to the Mini LED display technology, Samsung has also been able to reach a high peak brightness of 490 nits for SDR content. This is significantly brighter than the claimed 250-nit figure of the Samsung Odyssey G9 (2023), which is restricted by its OLED panel. In addition, users can also get the smart TV experience with apps from partners like Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube through Samsung Smart Hub to enjoy various over-the-top (OTT) content using an Internet connection, without even booting up their PC or connecting to other devices.

Samsung may have built a reputation for creating curved gaming screens, but the Neo G7 is completely flat. You don’t get as much immersion as you would with the upcoming Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED, which can fill your peripheral vision, but you also have to pay a lot more for the latter. It’s one of the very best gaming monitors I’ve ever tested, but it’s not without its issues. Here are my thoughts on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 (2023) after several weeks of use. Design and features Instead, the Neo G7 could replace your TV in the living room, or even make a nice bedroom TV substitute if you fancy gaming from the comfort of your bed. The bright side of having such a large display is a more absorbing picture, making the mountainscape of Horizon Zero Dawn even more picturesque.

The benefits of this were clear for dark scenes, such as the shadowy caves of Horizon Zero Dawn and the gloomy planets of Returnal, where the Neo G7 was able to display more detail than your average monitor. This is the first flat gaming monitor Samsung has produced using Mini-LED technology, with its smaller LEDs theoretically meaning improved contrast and clarity – helped further by 360 separate dimming zones. There's also a matte finish to reduce glare which we like. The other specs you'll want to know about are the 144Hz maximum refresh rate, the High Dynamic Range (VESA Display HDR600), AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, and the 1 ms (MPRT) response time. In what probably won’t come as a surprise, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 is one of the heaviest monitors I’ve ever used, hitting the scales at 9.2kg without the stand. I was still able to carry it to and from my desk with relative ease, but it’s certainly going to be a hassle if you ever move home. Additionally the Matte Display reduces light reflection on the screen, minimizing distractions during the most intense gaming sessions and letting the large screen deliver details while keeping the player focused on the game and the stunning visual performance.

The gaming monitor market is only going to get bigger, and gamers are now seeking more out of their monitors,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are not just delivering better gaming experience – we are rebuilding new smart capabilities into our screens that give gamers an all-in-one place for technology and entertainment. Our innovations are enabling gamers everywhere to stay absorbed in their games with visual performance that enhances the intense emotional experiences.” The high brightness and contrast offered by the Neo G7, as well as the 360 dimming zones, also allow for a strong HDR performance, with VESA Display HDR600 supported. Unlike most gaming monitors, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 (2023) is able to connect to the internet and run streaming applications without the need to be connected to an external device such as a PC. That’s all thanks to the Tizen operating system that’s pre-installed onto the monitor.The Odyssey Neo G7 is a great monitor for any gaming platform — using DisplayPort or HDMI connection to hook it up to the users’ Gaming rig or switch to HDMI 2.1 to play on their latest game console. Another option is to play a mobile game on a larger 43” screen through the built-in WIFI/Bluetooth or just connect a controller to enjoy a game in the cloud without even having a console. If you're looking for 43-inch alternatives for gaming, you might be better getting a TV rather than a monitor (though the lines are blurring between the two, of course). The Samsung Q60T brings with it Samsung's QLED technology and is available in a 43-inch size – it's also significantly cheaper than the Odyssey Neo G7, and so it might suit you better depending on what you're going to do with it (there is only one HDMI 2.1 out of its four ports, for example). The Odyssey Neo G7, is a great monitor for any gaming platform – using DisplayPort or HDMI connection to hook it up to the users’ Gaming rig or switch to HDMI 2.1 to play on their latest game console. Another option is to play a mobile game on a larger 43” screen through the built-in WIFI/Bluetooth or just connect a controller to enjoy a game in the cloud without even having a console. But this is likely the reason why there are so few adjustability options. You can tilt the screen upwards by 20 degrees, and downwards by 2 degrees, but that’s it. You can’t swivel or adjust the height of the monitor, once again questioning the merit of setting it up on a desk.
