Product Information

The Samsung supports HDR and has a faster refresh rate and a faster response time, so motion looks clearer with less noticeable blur. The Samsung is better for dark rooms because it has a VA panel with a better contrast ratio, while the Gigabyte has wider viewing angles because it has an IPS panel. Although many of the OSD settings in the ‘Picture’ menu were now locked, thankfully we still had control over the brightness and so could set this sRGB mode up to a comfortable level. The CIE diagram on the left of the image confirms that the monitors colour gamut (black triangle) extends a considerable way beyond the sRGB reference space (orange triangle), mostly in green and red shades.

The G7 has better motion handling because it has quicker response times and less overshoot on the 'Standard' overdrive setting than the Neo G9. If you want a high-end 4k monitor, the S32BG75 is the better choice, but the C32G75T is better if your graphics card can't take full advantage of the 4k resolution. It has a 240Hz refresh rate with native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing. It also gets bright enough to fight glare if you want to use it in a well-lit office, and the reflection handling is very good.The Samsung uses a VA panel and is available in a 27-inch or 32-inch size, while the ASUS uses an IPS panel and only comes in a 27-inch size.

There's RGB lighting on the back that you can customize, and there are Picture-in-Picture and Picture-and-Picture modes if you want to connect two or more sources. The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 is the newer version of the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 with many of the same features and performance.

The LG is also a bit better in well-lit rooms, as it has slightly better reflection handling and SDR brightness. The G7 also gets significantly brighter and has a significantly better response time, resulting in clearer motion with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. The VA panel on the Samsung is a better choice for a dark room, with better contrast and better black uniformity.
