Product Information

When you enable that setting you do not have control over the response times, but thankfully the performance is very good at the locked mode. The response times reduced slightly as the refresh rate was lowered, but generally remained similar across the refresh rate range down to 60Hz, and without introducing any additional overshoot which was excellent. The average contrast ratio of the screen was measured at a slightly disappointing 1896:1 which was strong thanks to the VA technology panel but a fair bit lower than the specified 2500:1 figure. Additional features– there is a crosshair graphic option in the menu via the ‘virtual aim point’ option as well as a Black Equalizer control for adjusting the gamma in the darker range.

We would have rather had a flat format screen in this size to be honest, leaving the curve for the Odyssey G9 49″ mega-wide model where it is much more useful and relevant. When zones remain off, there's still distracting blooming around bright objects, and the uniformity is awful, as you can see backlight bleed. This makes it a useful and usable mode, we would have just liked to have seen a slightly tighter control over the gamut coverage for that extra level of accuracy. The main difference is that the Neo G7 has a VA panel with Mini LED backlighting, resulting in a much better contrast and local dimming feature.At the full brightness setting in the OSD the maximum luminance reached a high 364 cd/m 2 which was a bit higher than the 350 cd/m 2 max brightness spec from the manufacturer (in SDR mode).

The Sony INZONE M9 and the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 are both excellent gaming monitors with many of the same features.

If you are coming from a 1080p screen then the resolution size takes some getting used to over a few days as there really is a lot of room to work with but once you do, it’s excellent. Also consider the fact that this is with only low levels of overshoot, whereas on many TN Film panels you enter the realms of moderate levels of overshoot in many cases to get there.
