I tryed your settings, but they where too bright for me. (I'm in a low dimmed room or dark room mostly) so I cranked the brightness down and it's perfect. In speed and hz it isnt a match compared to Omen X 27, but I have great 4k resolution and everything looks so much sharper and clearer. Only the Xbox One X looks like crap, no matter what settings I try and also only getting 4k 60hz or 1440p 120 hz but no 4k 120 hz. Also updated the monitor's firmware from 1006 to 1008.1 but it still looks like crap. So, I ordered the Series X wich is coming tomorrow. Hope that makes a difference.

Yeah 3070 can run 4k. 3070 is basically a 2080 ti.

I have a evga3080ti paired with a i7 12700k. Looking for a flat panel display and I'm liking what I see here between the 2 monitors. I'm just stuck on which one lol.

I don't know if you gonna read this but I'm really trying to buy my first ever gaming monitor for my ps5 I've watched numerous videos about gaming monitors and its all like a foreign language to me I just wand something thats gonna bring out the best in my ps5 for a decent price cause I refuse to pay a trillion dollars for a 27 or 32 inch monitor I'm really loving the Samsung g7 but I know its different models when I heard you say it has hdr and hdmi 2.1 I was excited but the ips panel turn it down for me a little cause I heard va panels is where its at any suggestion on should I get the Samsung or something else I've message numerous content creators about monitors no one responded cause I new all this gaming monitor stuff thanks

First off, thanks for commenting and asking a great question. It can definitely be challenging getting into the gaming monitor arena for the first time. For your question, it highly depends on the games that you play whether VA or IPS is better. VA generally does better on slower paced story style games where you don't need high fps. That's not always true, but generally a good VA will give better black level performance, higher contrast and so on. For first person shooters and any tactical style game that requires faster movement, IPS is usually better. It still provides good color pop, but black level performance and backlight bleed can be a little rough. Now it doesn't seem there is a VA that is HDMI 2.1 right now, other than a tv. The g70a is probably my top pick all around, but the gigabyte m28u is probably better if you're only doing story based games and not a lot of first person shooters.

which monitor is best to buy for FPS games? 1440p 280hz or 4k 144 hz? I'm thinking to put RTX 4070 Super or 4080 Super to the monitor.

You have to set the low input mode while FreeSync is off and then set FreeSync, the setting will lock in place once you do that.

I agree that real-world experience is a more useful test than synthetic benchmarks, but why test HDR? HDR400 is fake HDR (see Hardware Unboxed reviews as to why), I leave it off on my M28U, the image is just flat and whites are washed out with HDR on. Also would be good to have some transparency as to whether the manufacturers are supplying you with the products and providing any financial incentives.

I bought both of these myself. Normally I will say if they have (very few at this point), or KZread will pop up with a notice that it includes paid advertisement/sponsorship. Yeah HDR400 is not reliable, especially compared to a TV. But I get asked about it all the time, best HDR settings and so on. It's actually more for the console users than anything. All next gen consoles will automatically output HDR in game and in movies. So I throw in a test to compare and see if it's any good. Some PC users are interested too. Thanks for the input btw.

I just bought and returned 3 G70A screens (intended for a triple monitor sim racing rig). The reason being that only 2 monitors work but a 3rd one cannot work for some ID issue that has yet to be sorted out via firmware. Too bad as they were nice screens but the M28U doesn't have that problem so any sim racers might want to steer clear of the Samsung.

After watching some recommendations I bought the M28U, in terms of specs and the generic tests it beat out the G70A. Unfortunately, I returned it due to dead pixels and news of QC issues.

Technically LED and LCD are the same thing. At least the terminology means the same thing these days although they refer to two separate technologies. the M28U is also an LCD panel and the G7A has LED lighting as well. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. Unless you mean G7A TV?

@photonboy999

2 жыл бұрын

If anybody reads this now: LED is just the backlight. LCD is the panel that filters light FROM the backlight to display. There used to be CCFL backlights but LED replaced them. So it used to be CCFL/LCD vs LED/LCD... now that all LCD panels use LED backlights it really doesn't matter if you say "LCD" or "LED" to describe the technology... there's a lot of OTHER details that matter but that terminology does not... (and don't confuse "LED" with "OLED" as that's completely different technology. Most people here would know this. So it's basically LED/LCD vs OLED for the forseeable future with LCD trying to get more LED's to control light production over a smaller area and OLED trying to solve burn-in issues... the technology is actually converging... if, for example, you had each subpixel having its own LED that was coated with QD material to absorb and emit red, green or blue light that would be basically identical to an OLED panel that has an "OLED" light source that's coated in QD material... so both technologies will converge on the same solution)

Xbox series x which monitor would u go

Hi, I am currently stuck on buying the Samsung - Odyssey G7 28" or the Gigabyte M28U. The main reason I am stuck is because I read that the M28U has 24Gbps compared to 40Gbps for the G7. Does this play a big part for the HDR aspect? Also the M28U is $500 compared to the G7 being $690. So I am also looking at that, if the 24gbps doesn't play a big part.

@BainCustom

So the M28U is gsync compatible, which means it functions with gsync, but is not a true gsync monitor. Whereas the Samsung G70A is certified by Gsync to have the proper hardware and software to full function with gsync. I would need a full video to explain everything in detail. They are both FreeSync monitors though. M28U is FreeSync Premium.
