Price of entry is currently HDMI 2.1’s most significant drawback as few monitors support it, and none of them are cheap. We just wish that Samsung went with a joystick instead of the directional pad. It allows for in-depth image adjustments while also providing some of the most popular presets & extras like local dimming adjustments or onscreen crosshairs. We like the OSD since it’s contrasty, easy to navigate, and displays several relevant stats inside bubbles no matter which panel you’re at. Finally, you can connect a pair of headphones through a 3.5mm jack. Not having USB-C is a shame, but most users should be content with its two 5Gbps USB-A ports when connecting their peripherals. Two HDMI 2.1 ports lead the Neo G7’s diverse port selection, joined by DisplayPort 1.4 to complete the video in section. It also boasts almost non-existent input lag that instantly reflects mouse movements or keyboard strokes on the screen. A 165Hz refresh rate at 4K and world-class response times for its panel type turn it into a tool that can give an edge to the competitive gamer. Its more than 1,000 local dimming zones are exceptional for a 32″ display and excel at making smaller bright areas stand out from darker backgrounds.Īll the above makes the Neo G7 excellent for media consumption.
Engaging the local dimming option improves it even further, getting you as close to OLED levels as non-OLED technologies allow.
The Neo G7’s VA panel has a contrast ratio three times deeper than any IPS competitor’s. Conversely, HDR content looks radiant since you’re getting complete DCI-P3 coverage and more than 85% of Adobe RGB.Ĭontrast and local dimming are outstanding. Its sRGB mode successfully restricts the output to adhere to this color space. The monitor’s color scope is also excellent. However, tinkering with settings or downloading an ICC profile boosts accuracy almost to perfection. Its white balance skews towards warmer colors, and black levels are mediocre. Some users might feel disappointed with the colors when turning the Neo G7 on the first time. It has a cable management hole and is very wide, so you’ll want a sizeable desk but can place most keyboards or sound bars inside the space the base creates. The monitor’s tilt and height adjustments are excellent, but the swivel could be less constrained.Ī wide V-shaped stand supports the Neo G7’s 20-pound weight with little wobble. RGB lovers get to bask in a doughnut-shaped halo in the back accompanied by two small sources on the bottom lip. Lines radiate out of the back, creating an understated yet fun pattern. The display is clad in thick and durable plastic. It’s a definite statement of gaming intent, but it’s also practical and unavoidable at such diagonals due to VA’s sub-par viewing angles. The aggressive screen curve is the first thing many notice about the Neo G7’s look. However, everyone else is getting a honed gaming monitor with nearly instant response times and awesome contrast. It has a curved VA panel, so you’ll want to look at some of our other choices if straight lines are crucial. The Neo G7 updates Samsung’s high-end monitor line with a model few come close to in overall gaming prowess.
