Best tv ever! This tv has great picture and sound quality and was a great deal for what you are getting! The color looks amazing and the tv looks classy.

I ordered TWO of this monitor in October 2023. I had had my previous mismatched monitors for 5 & 10 years & thought it was time for an upgrade in terms of technology & aesthetics. I had narrowed my options down to 3 different monitors from 3 different brands. I settled on this Samsung option because I previously had plenty of good experiences with other Samsung products (televisions, washer/dryers, phones). I now regret my choice & cannot possibly recommend anyone buy Samsung monitors. First, let's talk about the biggest issue - the DisplayPort inputs DO NOT WORK. Unfortunately for me, I did not realize this immediately for various reasons or I would've returned them straight away. On one monitor I assumed the issue was with my aging graphics card or the DisplayPort cable that came with the monitor. After upgrading my graphics card & buying new cables, along with support chat troubleshooting, I realized this was not the case. The one monitor that had an issue from the beginning never detected my PC being connected via DisplayPort. The second monitor's DisplayPort issues just became clear today. I woke my PC up from Sleep mode after having used it just fine a couple hours prior and suddenly the monitor was not working. I'll attach pictures to illustrate exactly the picture I was seeing. The menu options would appear crystal clear but the picture from my PC itself was no longer functioning via DisplayPort. I tried two different cables in three different ports in my graphics card to no avail. I have one of my older monitors hooked up to my PC via DisplayPort cable & it's working just fine. Both Samsung monitors always worked okay with HDMI cables but the refresh rate was always limited to 60hz using that type of cable & the picture wasn't as nice, which is not why I bought these monitors. The first monitor is currently being repaired under warranty by Samsung. The second will have to wait until I get the first one back. For a $600 monitor I expect it to work as advertised & not break down within 3 months. I've already paid $32 to have one monitor safely packaged to be sent in for repair & it looks like I'm going to have to do it again in the next couple weeks. The monitor's menu interface is also AWFUL, especially if you buy more than one. The remote controls will work on both monitors simultaneously for some of the buttons. I generally had to resort to attempting to use the buttons on the monitor itself, which are not the most intuitive to use because of their orientation on the underside of the monitor. If you're looking to buy new monitors please look elsewhere.

Very pleased with smart TV

This came at great cost and worth the money. Clear crisp and perfect for gaming!

Excelente monitor. El único aspecto algo molesto quizás es la base, las patas ocupan mucho espacio pero lo vale por poder ajustar la pantalla de diferentes maneras

I had this and was really surprised about how poor quality it was. I have a Samsung 28” 60hz 4K and it is way nicer than this ‘high refresh rate’. Also, this monitor was literally defective and the screen kept flashing it was super weird. I updated the firmware, but it still did it. It took Amazon forever to refund it. They kept telling me to wait. Eventually the refund came. Think twice about buying monitors from Amazon. Also, this monitor has a defect problem. The quality of the screen is also highly questionable.

I was using a larger Samsung G8 monitor when I was offered this G7 for review. I initally thought the biggest differences between the two would be screen size, different chassis style/color, and bumping down to a 120Hz refresh rate from 240, and the G7 ships with a remote whereas the G8 does not. None of these I considered a big deal because I planned to use the G7 with an Xbox series X and use the G8 with my gaming PC. The Xbox max refresh is 120Hz, so it works out. Assembly of the G7 is simple and is designed to be completed with the monitor still inside the box. Performance is where the G7 is somewhat disappointing overall, at least for console use. Actual gameplay performance on console is good although much like the G8, the HDR seems washed out and leaves a lot to be desired. The monitor had no issues keeping up with the comparatively modest demands of the console. Gaming video was tack sharp, smooth, and flicker free. Lighting effects were excellent and rendered beautifully. The G7 functions much like a smart TV home entertainment hub, whereas the G8 feels more like a dedicated gaming monitor. I had to agree to Samsung’s privacy and streaming policies before using the wifi enabled G7. Once connected, the G7 can stream live video and other content. The home screen can be customized with widgets for quick access to common streaming services. The G7 has a gaming mode but it has a lot of flicker and seemingly indecisiveness while trying to engage. It wouldn’t be too bad if it only happened at the beginning and end of gaming sessions but it also occurs on certain in-game pause and static menus and whenever I invoke the Xbox overlay to record or watch replays. It gets highly annoying at times. Another reason the G7 isn’t optimal for consoles is because whenever any display settings get hosed, like for example when the HDR somehow got disabled, it’s more difficult to troubleshoot and resolve than on PC. Lastly, the XBox app is among the numerous apps pre installed on the G7. Clicking the Xbox app panel instead of the Xbox Series X panel opens the same Xbox app that I have on my smart devices. It’s useful for cloud gaming but does not really support console gaming and isn’t really necessary on a console. The G7 is much more suitable for a PC than a console. It’s a good option for dorms or smaller rooms where it can pull double duty as a streaming smart TV in addition to PC and gaming monitor duties. One other concern I have though is quality. The first G7 I ordered developed a persistent thin green vertical line near the center of the screen within the first hour of use. I included a pic of the line. The replacement has been good so far but I do worry about quality overall compared to the G8. If on the fence deciding between the G7 and G8, the G8 is the better choice despite being more expensive.

Mi hijo encantando con el monitor se ve todo super claro y la imagen real. Y tiene una base atrás q puedes subir y bajar la pantalla.

El producto es genial, aunque tiene sus defectos, como cualquier otro producto. Buenos colores y brillo, el audio es bueno, tiene iluminación la cual puede emular los colores que se presentan en pantalla aunque no es muy buena que digamos, la interfaz de usuario es medianamente buena (cuando se realizan configuraciones se puede perder la conexión del dispositivo al que estes conectado teniendo que reiniciar todo porque la pantalla queda congelada, igual que cuando accedes al menú de dispositivos o de configuraciones también se pierde la conexión, teniendo que volver a elegir el dispositivo al cual estabas conectado). Incluye control con batería interna, eso es bueno, aunque no trae cable USB tipo C para que lo puedas cargar, cable display port, cable USB para interconexión y su fuente de alimentación. la conexión para Xbox y PS es alcanzable a los 120 Hz y la calidad será muy buena, aunque el consumo eléctrico también lo será.

I have had so many issues with this bad monitor the nightmare is most oftentimes is not detected by my PC and when I search about it I found so many people who suffering from it

El Monitor está genial y precioso, al principio tuve problemas de cobro pero se arregló pronto, solo tuve 2 inconvenientes no tan graves 1. Llego un día antes de lo programado pero no me avisaron de acuerdo a repartidor se podría aver retrasado hasta 2 semanas y por eso no estaba en mi domicilio a la hora de la entrega, y por último me lo dejo con un vecino sin consultarme.

Cada que sale del modo stand by se congela la pc, ya intente desactivando y activando gsync, aumentando el tiempo de espera, cambiando opciones de energía pero sigue pasando, esto con una rtx 4090 y ryzen 7950x3d, para pc no lo recomiendo es prácticamente un smat tv

Returned it due to too much dissatisfaction. 1. As I only wanted it as a PC monitor, I found it annoying to always have to tell it via an on-screen menu when I turned the monitor on that I wanted to use it for PC monitor and not, say, for some TV/movie streaming seevice or console gaming service 2. As someone who also owns a Samsung TV on the other side of my room and an old Samsung 1080p monitor as my 2nd PC desktop monitor, it was incredibly frustrating that any time I hit Odyssey's remote control's power button, or any of the 3 Samsung remotes' power button, the same or reverse would happen on the other 2 screens. So, try to turn one on or off, the other 2 turn on or off, respectively. The kicker there is: if my TV was off and my Odyssey was on, and I hit the TV remote on to watch an afternoon TV show, the Odyssey would shut off. Or at bed time when PC was off, I would turn TV on to watch TV from bed, but Odyssey and other monitor would turn on, too. Very frustrating as I'd have to get out of bed and do a juggling act of remote control button aims to try and get the combo of on/offs that I needed or manually power stuff off. Those are just a couple scenarios, there were more. (Samsung treats all monitors/TVs the same, so any remote control for one works for all other Samsungs.) 3. The monitor flickered a lot when not playing games, like when browsing web pages. I don't understand this. Is it to prevent burn-in? 4. This monitor is horrible for dark shadowy PC games like Thief I: The Dark Project or Thief II: The Metal Age. There is no way to adjust the black amounts to your liking, as it tries to just hand hold you by greatly limiting your black/backlight, brightness/contrast controls, and having some auto-brightness/contrast adjuster. The latter would work somewhat, you think all is well when your whole screen is datk and shadowy, but then as soon as a few bright pixels come into view somewhere at the edge of your screen view, like a torch, backlit stained glass window, or sky, the entire monitor would auto-adjust to be brighter and more grayscaled blacks. Very jarring and ruins game immersion. I talked to Customer Support a couple times and they said there was no way around this or the other issues I described I ended up buying an LG UltraGear+ 27GR95QE 1440p. Even though it didn't have as high of HDR NITS, was 27", and was 1440p, I am much happier with it. Per-pixel zero blacks means Thief games, and other games for that matter, look really good. Graphically, its color calibration is much more accurate and natural, which for me is more important than high HDR nits values. The LG's HDR is just fine for me. It does flicker when browsing the web (not while playing games or watching shows), but not as jarring as the Odyssey, in my opinion. (Is this just a thing wth modern monitors??) LG has a nice auto-screen cleaner and such that runs to help prevent pixel burn-in. LG refesh rate hertz is better. And the remote doesn't turn my other Samsung screens on, and vice versa!. Also, the LG just connects to my PC like any other monitor would!, no need to fuss through an on-screen menu to tell it I want to use it for PC. I did really enjoy the bigger size of the Odyssey, but the trade-offs to LG more than make up for it for me.
