ODYSSEY G7 27 WINDOWS

Oh, in Windows mode, I've set this monitor to 4k via the Nvidia Control Panel using DLDSR. However, I do need to warn about how washed out the sceen becomes when HDR is turned on in certain games, but not all games. The colors are vibrant and the HDR is good enough (obviously no where as good as an OLED or MINI-LED TV). Which means I can see the enemies even when I'm moving really fast. Whether it's high FPS games like Warhammer: Vermintide II ( 130fps to 300+fps) or low FPS games like Cyberpunk (45fps to 75fps) RTS set to Psycho and DLSS set to quality, this monitor is amazingly fast, no tearing and. I turn the adapter sync on and G-sync on in the Nvidia Control Panel and set the V-sync to 'Fast' and turn off V-sync in game and voila, no flickering, no tearing. I've had this for a week now but even before I updated the firmware, I had no issues with flickering at all with any of my games. But since I found this new here on eBay for $500, which is $400 less than what the Asus would cost, I went with this even though of all the complaints I've read about the flickering. So after doing my online research, I came to a conclusion to get either this Samsung Odyssey g7 27' or Asus PG279QM. But for online competitive games, I wanted something more robust. I have a 27' LG 4k 144Hz gaming monitor for games like Cyberpunk and God of War. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned Overall, it's a very versatile monitor that has high quality visuals and very good speed without any significant flaws/distractions. There is occasional screen tearing that happens once every 5 minutes or so but it isn't too disruptive and can be fixed by turning on freesync if you want. HDMI only goes up to 144hz on any resolution no usb-c port. My main complaints: The stand is a bit complicated and takes quite a bit of desk space, but is otherwise quite ergonomic. The curve is nice in general, but I wouldn't say it makes a huge difference in a ny way. I haven't used the HDR much but from what I have used it looks pretty nice, much better than other monitors have given me. You can always use black stabilizer to make the blacks less dark which can mitigate the effect if you're in such a situation.

There is some backlight bleeding around the edges when the screen is black but it isn't really that bad or distracting at all for most use.

This monitor however has very good response time even in dark colors, there is very little if any ghosting, without the need for MBR (actually, MBR makes it worse so it's best to keep it off). I was reluctant to get a VA panel since they usually have slow response time and backlight bleed.
