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. We've purchased the product and are waiting for it to arrive in our lab. The product has arrived in our lab, and our testers will start evaluating it soon.
Our testers have started testing this product. 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.
