Samsung Malaysia Launches the Odyssey G7 G75F 37" 4K Gaming Monitor, 40" SKU Also Incoming
Normally Samsung has global launches of new products, but it seems like its Malaysian branch decided to go its own way and launch the Odyssey G7 G75F 37-inch 4K gaming monitor on its own. This appears to be a smaller and somewhat cheaper version of the 40-inch variant that is also about to launch, although both SKUs carry the same branding, which is a tad confusing. There are quite a few differences between the two, with the 37-inch G75F sporting a curved 1000R 16:9 VA panel with a resolution of 3,480 x 2,160 pixels and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz. The 40-inch version gets a 21:9 1000R VA panel with a 5,120 x 2,160 resolution and a higher max refresh rate of 180 Hz.
Common features include VESA DisplayHDR 600 support, an SDR brightness of 350 nits, a 3000:1 contrast ratio and a 1 ms response time. Both SKUs also have a single DisplayPort 1.4 and a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, as well as a USB 3.2 Gen 1 two port USB hub and a headphone jack. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is also part of the package, but there doesn't appear to be support for G-Sync compatibility. The stand is height, tilt and swivel adjustable. The 37-inch model has a list price of RM 4,399 or around US$1,030, but it's already for sale for RM 3,499 or around US$825. The 40-inch model is listed for US$1,200 at B&H Photo, but doesn't have a final launch date as yet.

Can anybody tells how does the VA compare to IPS?
"IPS glow" doesn't bother me -- I actually prefer IPS IQ to OLED in some instances, but VA:
- The pixel layout is bad for text and makes games look a bit lower resolution than IPS/OLED
- The colors are inaccurate - like red is always off in one direction or another - retina searing hot pink or some other variant of "off red"
- The colors change from one end of the screen to the other (hence the curve to try and mitigate that, but it doesnt).
- Black smearing at max refresh.
The good things are "inky blacks" and cost - but I would buy a cheap IPS over a VA any day.I also don't see any black smearing, nor colors changing between screen zones, and color accuracy is simply a matter of downloading the right ICC profile.
I would only trade my Neo G7 for a 40" 21:9 model with 5120x2160 resolution. Nowadays I would probably trust OLED a little bit more than I did 3 years ago.

The last G9 I had from samsung had massive pixel inversion issues - you would see scanlines on certain colors at max refresh. Not sure if they fixed on G7 - but either way the G7 has the pixel density to look great - the 32" 1440P S3222DGM does not.
Besides, a monitor that costs a grand or more and doesn't feature DP80 post to drive uncompressed image signal is absurd in this day and age. We should all have higher expectations from display manufacturers. Not only have they heavily delayed the adoption of DP 2.1 ports, waiting for Nvidia to finally release the cards with DP80 ports, but even now they are still dragging their feet and offering expensive displays without latest ports that GPUs have already asopted.
Samsung, back to drawing board.
