Looking at response times, the Odyssey G7 S28 is similar to other Odyssey monitors in that you cannot adjust the overdrive settings when adaptive sync is enabled. There’s also three additional face buttons for quick access to some settings if you want. Unlike the VA-based Odyssey monitors, there’s no VRR Control setting as it’s not required. The range of features here is decent, including several color controls and some game specific stuff, like crosshairs for cheating.

The OSD is controlled through a directional toggle, and uses the same format as other Samsung monitors.

This means support for the full panel capabilities with inputs like game consoles. The HDMI 2.1 ports are 40 Gbps ports, not the full 48 Gbps, but this makes no real world difference, as these HDMI 2.1 ports have more than enough bandwidth at 40 Gbps for full 4K 144Hz at 10-bit RGB. The Odyssey G7 S28 includes one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC as well as two real HDMI 2.1 ports. I do like the design on the rear, Samsung have gone with the same type of “gamer” influenced style but the patterning is pleasing and the RGB LED core lighting element in the center looks pretty cool, certainly a better-than-average implementation of RGB.Īs a 4K 144Hz display, port selection is important, and Samsung have delivered here. The stand is a basic affair, it does support the full range of motion including height, tilt, swivel and pivot support, however the stand legs and pillar are entirely coated in a fairly average black plastic, so it’s nothing special from a build standpoint. The chin on this monitor is a little too large, but at least the rest of the bezels are normal in size. Other areas like the front-facing RGB LED elements have also been refined. Obviously this monitor isn’t curved, unlike the 1440p 240Hz variants, and that’s a huge improvement in our book since we weren’t huge fans of the 1000R curve for this format of display. The design for the Odyssey G7 S28 model is similar to the original Odyssey G7, except refined in several ways. Instead of arranging this review sample from Samsung, we bought this monitor from retail for testing. Given Samsung’s recent history of quality control issues, we wanted to test this display to see if any of the same issues are present. This new 4K panel generation is the most affordable yet, and the Odyssey S28 is no exception, usually available at around $700, which is in the ballpark of its competitors and more affordable than the $900+ 4K monitors from years prior. The Odyssey G7 S28 is one of several new generation 4K 144Hz IPS displays for gaming, mirroring the specs of popular monitors such as the Gigabyte M28U, and the panel used here appears to be the same model from Innolux.

It’s a little disappointing how Samsung has ruined the naming scheme for the Odyssey G7, but with that cleared and out of the way, we don’t want to get caught up in that too much. In contrast, the original G7 is a 1440p 240Hz 27” curved VA display, otherwise known as the LC27G75T, so clearly these are two very different products and you don’t want to be confusing the C27G7 with the S28AG7 model.

Samsung also advertises it as the “Odyssey G70A 28-inch” or the “Odyssey G7 UHD 28-inch” in various countries. It’s called the LS28AG700 (usually with even more letters and numbers after that depending on your region), but for this review we’ll be shortening it to the S28 model. The new Odyssey G7 brings to the table a 28-inch 4K 144Hz IPS panel aimed at gamers. Now you might be wondering, hang on a moment, didn’t you already review the Odyssey G7 way back in 2020? And you’d be correct, but last year Samsung released a new Odyssey G7, which is a little bit confusing, however it’s a very different monitor in terms of specifications. Today we’re reviewing the Samsung Odyssey G7.
