Product Information

On the other hand, the 34-inch G5 is larger and has a 21:9 aspect ratio, so there's more space to open multiple windows side-by-side. Unfortunately, gamma follows the curve terribly, and most scenes are too bright, especially with extremely bright scenes. Unlike other models in the Odyssey G7 lineup released in 2022, this one is limited to a 144Hz refresh rate and doesn't feature Mini LED backlighting like the higher-end Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75. The Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 and the Lenovo Y32p-30 are 4k 32-inch monitors focused on gaming. That first venture in to 240Hz VA was also limited to a 1080p panel and it appeared that this technology was not ready for the jump to 240Hz, and may never be.

It has a 1000R curve that helps bring the edges of the screen within your field of vision, and it has a VA panel with edge-lit local dimming, but unlike some of Samsung's models that came out after this one, like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75, it doesn't have Mini LED backlighting. G-Sync compatiblity keeps the GPU and panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen-lag, and image tears.

It also has good dark room performance, but its picture quality isn't as good as newer Samsung monitors like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75. If you're just in the desktop, it's best to disable VRR because of this issue and stay in Game Mode for low input lag.

The Samsung has a bigger 32-inch screen, but that means it has lower pixel density and slightly worse pixel density. For reference we are testing the FB02 version of the screen and have updated to the latest UK/US official firmware v1007. Although it has a directional pad underneath the screen, it isn't easy to navigate the menu with it. This allows us to measure the maximum and minimum adjustment ranges, as well as identify the recommended setting to reach a target of 120 cd/m 2 for comfortable day to day use in normal lighting conditions.

The Samsung Odyssey G70B has a mediocre contrast ratio, making blacks look gray next to bright objects. These results are with Game Mode enabled in the 'Custom' Picture Mode with Local Dimming set to 'High'.
