It results in a downscaled image, sharper than a native 1440p signal but not as detailed as a true 4k display. We can't replicate the same flicker some people have experienced in games (see Refresh Rate) without knowing the exact game and settings used that caused this flicker-like effect.

The Neo G8 also has better overall picture quality because it has Mini LED backlighting, allowing it to get brighter and deliver a better local dimming feature than the G7. The Dell is also much better in dark rooms as it has a near-infinite contrast ratio, and the overall picture quality is better. Consider which cover meets your needs, the length of policy, the type of cover and the cost of the excess and payment terms.There's also a sharp cut-off at the monitor's peak brightness, resulting in a loss of fine details in bright scenes. The ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q and the Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G755T are great monitors with excellent gaming performance. The LG 27GR95QE-B and the Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T are 1440p, 240Hz gaming monitors with different types of displays. The Samsung uses a VA panel and is available in a 27-inch or 32-inch size, while the MSI uses an IPS panel and is only available in a 27-inch.

The Samsung has a VA panel with a much better contrast ratio, and it has a higher 240Hz refresh rate. There are only 8 vertical dimming zones, and it takes time for each zone to light up when there are fast-moving objects. Unlike other models in the Odyssey G7 lineup released in 2022, this one is limited to a 144Hz refresh rate and doesn't feature Mini LED backlighting like the higher-end Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75.We wanted to test here how uniform the brightness was across the screen, as well as identify any leakage from the backlight in dark lighting conditions.

If you like using a black frame insertion feature to improve motion clarity, only the ASUS allows you to use it simultaneously with VRR. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a higher-end version of the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, so it's better overall. The Samsung Odyssey G7 is an excellent gaming monitor that competes with some of the best gaming monitors on the market because it combines a high 240Hz refresh rate with a 1440p resolution. Users should be aware that the panel exhibits the off-centre contrast shift which is inherent to the VA pixel structure. The Samsung also has a much faster response time and a more versatile black frame insertion feature.This did deliver a better overall gamma setup, but seems to introduce some minor banding in darker gradients.
