The other surprising feature of the Samsung G7, is the fact the monitor is only 2,560 x 1,440p. However, it’s not classed as an ultrawide monitor, like the Samsung Odyssey G9 is, and the G7 comes in at as 16:9 aspect ratio. The panel itself has a 1000R curve, so it’s still wide and curvy enough to offer a decent level of immersion.

Most people I think will have a DisplayPort and HDMI cable for a PC and console so it won’t be too much of an issue, but now you know. So if you wanted to keep everything neat and tidy, you’ve got to decide which cables are essential to you. So, that’s a total of eight cables coming from the back of this monitor, and there’s no way they’re all fitting into the cable run down the back of the monitor. Underneath the monitor, you can find one HDMI 2.0 input (no HDMI 2.1 which is a shame here on such a high-end panel), two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, a headphone jack, power input and two USB inputs which are fed through a USB passthrough cable. But, for you gamers out there, RGB breathes through all the colours slowly. There are five different colour modes in total including a breathing effect, RGB, and a flash, but by far the best is a static light in a nice ice blue.
It doesn’t react to what’s being displayed on your monitor, like it does with the Philips Ambilight type technology, but it does give a nice edge glow depending on how close the monitor is to the wall.

It feels more like Samsung are trying to tick boxes with this one, and really aiming the G7 at all types of gamers.Īlso round the stand is some LED detailing, which really pulls the monitor together, plus it’s also bright enough to shine off a wall that you have your monitor against.
Not sure if you would want a monitor of this calibre positioned vertically, but if you’re someone who is lucky enough to have two of them on your desk, and need something for your long Facebook feed, then it’s capable.
The stand is also capable of tilt, pan and even rotate too so you can have the Samsung G7 Odyssey in a vertical position. It’s pretty flimsy though, so be careful with it. There is a headphone peg on the rear of the monitor too for some neat storage if needed. However, it’s very skinny inside, so make sure your HDMI or DisplayPort cables are thin. This has been designed to be a neat and tidy cable run, so your cables are away from view on your desk. The arm section of the stand comes in two pieces the main metal pole section and a plastic cover. If you are lucky enough to be using something like a Ducky, then you could, as these are very skinny. Unfortunately, there’s not enough room to put a full-sized keyboard, like my Roccat Vulkan underneath either. The screen for a 27″ monitor is pretty heavy so it might need some extra bracing towards the front.
Not sure if this is hugely necessary though. The stand comprises two plastic feet measuring at around 13-inches long which take up a decent amount of real estate on a desk. The monitor is physically chunky too, and this is down to the fact that Samsung has implemented their QLED technology here and the fact it has local dimming too, which means there are small LEDs scattered across the rear of the monitor rather than around the edges. The bottom bezel, which holds the joystick menu controller and probably all the tech is a little fatter coming in at around an inch at its fattest, but it doesn’t remove from how nice this monitor looks. The top and side bezels are extremely skinny too, which ensures users look at as much screen real estate as possible, and it’s smart. It’s more space grey, but we won’t get caught up on the colour when this impressive monitor has so much more to give. The Samsung Odyssey G7 gaming monitor is extremely smart looking, with a matte black finish, although looking at it, it’s not as deep a black as you would expect from black.
