Thx friend... I appreciate it. Have a great day! stay safe..

The HDR in the AORUS Monitor is world's better (just alone because of HDMI 2.1 RGB Colors on PS5, while the G7 only outputs Yuv422 due to limited bandwidth of HDMI 2.0) and the size is great too Ofc. Once you get a 43 Inch Monitor going back to anything smaller feels like a huge downgrade, I would rather take a better HDR and bigger size than a little faster response rate. Returned my Samsung Odyssey G7 for an AORUS FV43U and couldn't be happier. However If you only care about 1440p u can't go wrong with the G7 tho.

Great review! Have you seen the Acer Predator CG437K? Just wondering if you knew how it compares to the Aorus?

i see a lot of people hating on bright screens, usually in favor of oled, by saying "oled is plenty bright enough i even have to turn my brightness down a bit". they dont realize the brightness rating isnt about overall screen brightness its about peak brightness. you can have some pixels hitting 600n without burning your retinas off because its not a rating meant to be used to determine how bright the screen can get overall. its a rating determining how much detail can be displayed in bright scenes. it also determines how bright a color can get making them pop more.

It's a preference issue I guess or buyers remorse. Lol... tho I love and need bright displays. HDR + vs Dolby Vision. I saw a hdtest video and Dolby vision while more accurate has a less than stellar quality for me. Plus no display can hit 4000nits. That Dolby is made for. The argument is really OLED buyers pushing the technology. But I agree with you. It's about the quality of peak not full screen. Plus abl does not help the OLED. I see everyone on the Switch OLED talk alot about burn in now. LoL... OLED Tech will and in amazing... but not for me... not yet... tho next yr with the 42" LG OLED is looking pretty nice for the features as I need that in my life.

Ok try this on the G7: Cinema Preset is sometimes has too much contrast... so I switch to user mode and select black equalizer between 8 and 13. Put whatever you think looks good. In user mode 13 Black. E. Is the same as cinema but has a lower effect on this user mode so it's easier on the eyes. Brightness 100 (put what you like) contrast 80 (put what you like) color 60-65 and sharpness 60. Gamma 2. Advanced contrast Off. Local dimming on or off (whatever you like) this is off the top of my head but I will make another vs video of these 2 on Xbox gaming and I will show the menu so you can see what I have.. thx.

I had the neo G9 and returned it because of its shitty quality, then I got the fv43u. I had both for a short time before the G9 was picked up, man the G9 looks shit in comparison with washed color and lower brightness. The draw back is really the response time. You can turn on Aim stabiliser which makes it much more responsive but you lose HDR. Worst game on FV43U is Cyberpunk because of the dark areas and the high GTG response time.

The Aorus has very bad vertical banding + DSE (dirty screen effect). If you don't know what it is just google pictures of it. I had 3x fv43u at home and all showed the same defect. If you look into white/grey light while moving the camera you can see bars (stripes) running vertically on the screen (on 1 unit even horizontally).
