After receiving and unboxing FOUR of these monitors, I'm ready to write my review: Spec for spec, this is the best gaming monitor that Best Buy offers. It's the only one with 240hz refresh rate, 1440p QHD resolution, QLED, GSYNC, and HDR support. This monitor is amazing! It has a huge 32" screen (which I didn't even know I needed until now). Gaming on this is a dream! The colors are vibrant, the HDR makes them really pop. The 240hz refresh rate is buttery smooth! You would expect nothing but the best from Samsung, right? WRONG!!! Upon ordering and receiving the FIRST monitor and inspecting the screen, my excitement and enthusiasm was immediately deflated due to dead pixels - one in the bottom right, and one in the top right. I called Best Buy support to report the problem. They were very sympathetic and kindly shipped me a SECOND replacement monitor. To my dismay, the second monitor also had dead pixels. This time in the dead center of the screen. When I called Best Buy customer service, they told me they could not ship me another monitor because they had already done a reship, so instead I took the second (worse) monitor into the store for a return. The representative was really nice and helpful. She set me up with a THIRD monitor to be shipped to me. Third time's the charm, right? Spoiler alert...NOPE! I received the third monitor and this time there were stuck pixels in the center of the screen. They were stuck on red so they only showed up on green, blue, and white images, but still very annoying and distracting. After being in complete and utter despair after having received THREE bad monitors, I had resolved myself to just keeping the original monitor because at least the dead pixels were in remote corners of the screen and less noticeable. Upon returning the third defective monitor, the Best Buy store manager surprisingly offered to ship me a FOURTH monitor. Reluctantly, I agreed because, I mean, what are the odds of getting 4 bad ones? I was actually in shock of how awesome and patient and understanding the Best Buy staff has been through this! I can't praise them enough! Well, today I received the FOURTH monitor and you guessed it...DEAD and STUCK pixels!!! There was another red stuck pixel (seems to be common with this model), a group of dark gray pixels that never changed right in the middle of the screen, and a dead pixel in the bottom right. Ughhh. At this point, if there was another brand of monitor that could offer me all of the features that this monitor has I would go with it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately...there isn't. So I guess I will begrudgingly hold on to the original monitor since it had the least amount of dead pixels because I just love this monitor so much and nothing else compares. It just infuriates me that Samsung could have this horrible of quality control! Ironically, I'm a big Samsung user. I have the Samsung Note 20 Ultra (no dead pixels), and I have 2 Samsung 4k TVs (both without any dead pixels). Until this, I have been happy with all my Samsung products. I don't know why their gaming monitor division is so terrible! If you are considering rolling the dice and playing "Pixel Roulette" with this monitor, make sure you purchase the Geek Squad protection plan because you are almost certain to see dead pixels at some point in the life of the monitor. Looking at Samsung's warrantee policy, they say that they will NOT warrantee any device unless it has more than SEVEN dead pixels!! Are you kidding me?? That in itself is an unforgiveable travesty, and tells you that they must KNOW that they are intentionally shipping screens with dead pixels!! What the heck Samsung??? If you are paying $800-$1000 for a TV/monitor, it should have ZERO pixel problems. So make absolutely sure you get the Best Buy coverage! If you are a pixel peeper like me, then I would suggest staying away. You're only setting yourself up for heartache and a LOT of trips back to Best Buy. If you are the type of person who doesn't see dead pixels or doesn't even understand what I'm talking about, then go ahead and get this monitor. You'll probably love it. If you do happen to get a monitor without dead pixels, congratulations! You won the lottery! You will enjoy a fantastic gaming monitor! Sadly, that's not something that I will ever get to experience.... Final ratings: Best Buy Staff: A++ The monitor itself (assuming you get a good one): A Samsung Quality Control: F-

This monitor was my first every actual purchase, and it has done me so much good since I made the purchase. Is perfect for not only gaming but even organic chemistry homework. I would definitely recommend if you’re on the fence about even getting a curved monitor because this monitor has done wonders and even elongated the life of my below average pc. I’m sure anyone with a 3080 ti and above graphics card would be able to take into full effect the true potential of this monitor. Not a day goes by I regret buying this monitor.

I have been using this monitor for a bit, I absolutely love it the quality of the monitor is just insane if your looking for something that not to big or too small this is the best you can get

The Samsung Odyssey G7 is one beautiful piece of technology. Gaming on this monitor has been a pleasure. Colors pop and images are crisp. HDR is pretty good but definitely not true HDR as it is not a full array display and is lacking local dimming zones. For being a monitor with an MSRP that comes in just shy of $800 that is to be expected. HDR reduces the brightness of the screen by around 30% which, in all honesty, is fine since this monitor is extremely bright when HDR is turned off. I have seen reviews of some of these monitors with the blacks appearing very bright around the edges. I am happy to say my monitor doesn't have this issue. All colors appear extremely uniform and blacks are dark especially with HDR enabled and allowed to contrast with brighter colors. The refresh rate is insane. My RTX 3080 is putting in some major work pushing out frames to keep up with the 240Hz. Please bear in mind that this monitor does not have speakers. You will need to buy speakers or use headphones. The curve is aggressive. That is a positive for me as I rather enjoy the immersion it provides and I don't plan on making this a dual-monitor set-up. No dead pixel issues of any sort. I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a curved gaming monitor. 1440p at 240Hz > 4k 120Hz any day of the week ;)

At first I was a little hesitant on buying this. But I wanted a bigger monitor and a curved one. And Xmas was coming up, so I put it on my list. I set it up and was amazed at it. Even tho there was some things not set up, and the instructions was just on how to put it together. I did figuer on how to get and learn about everything. Now that I got it up and running right I want another one. I did have and issue with the on screen controls. But going online to see what they was talking about I got that right. The on and off switch is a toggle switch for all your controls. Then the dpi cable was not working. But then again I that that my port on my card had gone out, because on my old monitor I had to switch it to the HDMI cable. Ok so researching this I seen a lot of people was having the same problem. And further research suggested that you make SURE the dpi cable is all the way in. So with that, checking with the old monitor. All is good and now I would like to get another one. One more thing. On the G7 under the gaming controls, it says it has a virtual cross hair. I didn't know it did, but my old one did and glad that G7 does. Just remember to go on line to check the set up instructions. There is none in the box except on how to put the thing together. Screen shots. the 1st is Ghost Recon Wildlands and the 2nd is Break Point. The 3rd is bench marks.
