"When unboxing the 40-inch 4K Samsung Odyssey G7, I found I was much more excited by the promise of its fine black exterior and RGB ring light, not to mention its massive frame and sweeping 1,000R curve. But actually looking at it with the lights on shocked me with a sense of disappointment. Disappointment turns into acceptance, and acceptance inevitably becomes boredom."
"The Odyssey G7 offers something much different: a 40-inch curved screen with a fast 180Hz refresh rate (a rarity for ultrawide monitors). The only thing is, it doesn't come with OLED but with a VA panel. Compared to organic light-emitting diodea screen type that uses self-emissive colors to generate better contrast and deeper blacksVA is closer to traditional LCD. The acronym stands for vertical alignment, which relates to the crystals inside the liquid crystal display."
Samsung Odyssey G7 is a 40-inch 4K curved gaming monitor with a 1,000R curve and a 180Hz refresh rate, offering 140 ppi pixel density. The monitor uses a VA panel rather than OLED, providing stronger contrast than many LCDs but lacking OLED's self-emissive deep blacks. The design includes a fine black exterior, RGB ring light, and a large, solid frame. Higher-brightness LCD characteristics contrast with typically lower-brightness, more energy-dependent OLED. The display can be engrossing for gaming but may perform poorly in bright real-world lighting; avoid placing it near open windows.
