The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is a high refresh rate gaming monitor. It's part of Samsung's 2020 Odyssey gaming lineup, and it's one of the few monitors available in two sizes: 27 and 32 inches, which we tested. It has a fast 240Hz refresh rate with native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing. It's also G-SYNC compatible if you want to use it with an NVIDIA graphics card. The 1440p resolution helps deliver clear images while not being too taxing on your graphics card. It's a well-built monitor with an aggressive 1000R curved screen, which may not be to everyone's liking, but it helps bring the entire screen within your field of view. Its VA panel makes it a great choice for dark room gaming, but even though it has an edge-lit local dimming feature, it performs terribly.
Our Verdict
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is a great overall monitor. It has amazing gaming performance because of its 240Hz refresh rate, outstanding response time, and FreeSync support. It's a good choice for content creators or for watching movies as it can display deep blacks. Unfortunately, it's not ideal for sharing your screen with coworkers due to its narrow viewing angles.

The Samsung Odyssey G7 is amazing for gaming. It has a native 240Hz refresh rate, FreeSync support, and is compatible with NVIDIA's G-SYNC. The response time at its max refresh rate and 60Hz are both outstanding, resulting in minimal blur. Its narrow viewing angles make it less ideal for co-op gaming, but luckily, it displays deep blacks if you want to game in the dark. We received reports of the backlight flickering with VRR enabled, but we didn't notice any flicker; rather, the screen dims when a certain image is displayed full-screen.

Test Results
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is a modern-looking gaming monitor with an aggressive curve. Its body is all black with controllable RGB lighting on the bottom bezel and a ring on the back. If you want a VA monitor without a curved screen, check out the LG 32GN650-B.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a V-shaped stand, so you can still place objects in front of it. It has a fairly big footprint, and overall, the stand supports the monitor well.
The ergonomics are okay overall, and it offers more adjustments than most curved screens. The Samsung Odyssey G7 switches into portrait mode, rare for a curved monitor, but it has a limited tilt and swivel range. If you're looking for a monitor with better ergonomics, check out the ASUS TUF Gaming VG258QM.
The back of the Samsung Odyssey G7 27 inch monitor has textured plastic on it, and there's a ring of RGB lighting. Cable management is serviced through the stand. The plastic cover comes off so you can place the cables through the stand, keeping your setup clean.
Due to the Samsung Odyssey G7's aggressive curve, the screen itself is very thick, and it gets much thicker with the stand attached. You need a deep desk if you still want some space to put your keyboard and mouse.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a great build quality. It's made out of good-quality plastic that feels solid. The curve doesn't appear uniform throughout as it seems more curved in the center than at the sides, but overall, there aren't any obvious issues with this monitor.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a great contrast ratio, so it displays deep blacks, which is expected from a VA panel. It has a local dimming feature, but it doesn't improve the contrast ratio because the checkerboard test pattern keeps all the dimming zones on. Note that this contrast ratio is much higher than Samsung's advertised 2500:1 contrast, and there appears to be significant variance in contrast between units.
Since the contrast measurements are quite a bit higher than Samsung's specifications for this display, we remeasured the contrast ratio. We did it with different equipment and even with a different way to measure contrast, but we obtained very similar results. We also tried adjusting different settings to see if that made a difference. With 'Black Equalizer' at 10, we measured a contrast ratio of 3922:1, at '13' it was 3935:1, and at '20' it was 3892:1, so it's not much different from our original numbers. As all of these tests are consistent, we're confident in our measurements.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a local dimming feature, but like most edge-lit monitors, it's terrible. There are only a handful of vertical dimming zones, and it takes time for each zone to light up when there are fast-moving objects. This causes uniformity issues, especially in the test pattern, but it isn't as distracting in real content because the algorithm doesn't seem as aggressive as the one on the Samsung CHG70.
The Samsung C32G75T has great SDR peak brightness, similar to the Samsung CHG70. It gets bright enough to combat glare, but it's not very consistent with varied content, so large, bright areas of the screen don't get very bright. We tested the peak brightness after calibration with local dimming on and brightness set to its max, and we were able to get the brightest image possible with these settings, as seen in the 2% peak window test. We had originally measured it without local dimming and we got around 320 nits with most windows, so the local dimming feature makes it brighter.
If you prefer a Samsung monitor that has better peak brightness because it has Mini LED backlighting, then look into the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has just okay peak brightness in HDR. Small highlights are bright enough to stand out, but most scenes aren't bright enough for most HDR content. There aren't any picture settings available in HDR, so it's at its default. We had originally tested it with local dimming off, and we got around 310 nits for most windows, so it's best to leave local dimming on. We tested it with a linker via HDMI from a Blu-ray player.
In addition to our regular testing methods, we measured the peak brightness with regular Windows HDR over a DisplayPort connection, and it's much dimmer at a peak of 237 nits in the 2% window. We also tested the peak brightness according to VESA's standards, and we were able to get a peak brightness of 558 nits in the 10% peak window test, which is close to the advertised 600 nits, but it quickly dropped down to 484 nits.
Like most VA panel monitors, the Samsung Odyssey G7 has narrow horizontal viewing angles. The image loses its color accuracy and looks darker as you move off-center, so it's not ideal for sharing your screen with someone sitting next to you. The curved edges are meant to bring them within your field of vision so they don't look inaccurate, but we measure it from the center of the screen. If you want a 32 inch monitor with much better viewing angles, check out the Corsair XENEON 32QHD165.
Once again, the Samsung Odyssey G7 32 has narrow vertical viewing angles. The images look inaccurate if you mount it above eye level or if you view it while standing up.
The gray uniformity is excellent. The screen is uniform throughout, and even though the edges are a bit darker, it's not too noticeable. Uniformity is slightly better in near-dark scenes, but the backlight bleed is more noticeable. Keep in mind that uniformity can vary between units, but it's rarely an issue on monitors.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has some uniformity issues when displaying a bright object in a dark scene, but this can vary between units. It looks worse in person than in the photos because the curved screen doesn't show the worst parts. Without local dimming, there's noticeable backlight bleed, and we took a high exposure photo to exaggerate what it looks like, but it's not really what you see in person. The local dimming feature helps fix any issues, but there are still some problems, as you can see in the photo.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 32 has good out-of-the-box accuracy. Most colors and shades of gray are slightly inaccurate, but most people shouldn't notice this. The color temperature is a bit warm, giving the image a red/yellow tint. Unfortunately, gamma follows the curve terribly, and most scenes are too bright, especially with extremely bright scenes. Keep in mind that out-of-the-box accuracy can vary between units.
After calibration, the Samsung Odyssey G7 has remarkable color accuracy. Any remaining inaccuracies aren't noticeable without the aid of a colorimeter, but blue is a bit inaccurate. Gamma is improved and follows the curve almost perfectly.
You can download our ICC profile calibration here. This is provided for reference only and shouldn't be used, as the calibration values vary per individual unit even for the same model due to manufacturing tolerances.
The Samsung G7 32 has an outstanding SDR color gamut. It has near-perfect coverage of the sRGB color space and impressive coverage of the Adobe RGB color space used in photo editing.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has an incredible color volume, better than the Samsung CHG70. Due to its great contrast ratio, it can display deep, saturated colors really well, and it also does a good job with bright colors.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 32 has a good HDR color gamut. It displays a wide color gamut with excellent coverage of the commonly-used DCI P3 color space, but it has somewhat limited coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space. These results are with the local dimming enabled, and with it disabled, we measured 73.4% DCI P3 coverage, and 64.4% for Rec. 2020.
Note that the DCI P3 coverage is lower than the advertised 95%. This is normal and is due to the way we measure DCI P3. We measure DCI P3 by sending a Rec. 2020 signal, but unlike most reviewers, we limit the colors to the DCI P3 primaries. This results in a lower but arguably more accurate measurement.
The HDR color volume of the Samsung Odyssey G7 is good. Its good HDR color gamut helps the monitor display a wide range of colors at different luminance levels. Like with the HDR color gamut, we originally measured it with local dimming disabled. We got 68.1% for DCI P3 color volume and 62.2% for Rec. 2020, so we suggest leaving local dimming on.
The Samsung G7 32 shows some signs of temporary image retention immediately after we switch from our high-contrast static test image to a gray test slide. It disappears almost immediately, though, and isn't noticeable with regular content. This can vary between individual units, but it's rarely an issue with any monitor.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has exceptional gradient handling. There's almost no visible banding in any color.
There are no visible signs of color bleed on the Samsung Odyssey G7.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has very good reflection handling. It performs really well with some light on it, but the reflections can get distracting if you place the monitor opposite a window.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has great text clarity. With ClearType enabled (top photo), the diagonal lines on the letters R and N are clearer. This is similar to the ViewSonic Elite XG270QG.

Update 07/30/2021: We retested the response time at the max refresh rate with the "VRR Control" feature on and off. It has very little impact on the response time at the max refresh rate.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has an outstanding response time at its max refresh rate of 240Hz. Motion looks exceptionally smooth, and there's almost no blur. However, it has a slow response time in dark scenes, as seen in the 0-20% total response time, which causes some artifacts, known as black smearing, typical of VA panels. The recommended overdrive setting is 'Faster' because it has less overshoot than the 'Fastest' setting.

Update 07/30/2021: We retested the response time at 60Hz with 'VRR Control' on and off. Unfortunately, VRR isn't working correctly at 60Hz, so we recommend fully disabling it if you're gaming at 60Hz from a console.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has an incredible response time at 60Hz, similar to the Dell S2716DGR/S2716DG. This is much better than the Samsung CHG70, and like at its max refresh rate, the recommended overdrive setting is 'Faster'. There's still a bit of overshoot, but overall, motion looks extremely smooth.
Update 07/30/2021: We looked into the pixel inversion issue reported below again. We can reproduce the issue by displaying a specific test pattern. Adjusting the Sharpness reduces the issue, and setting it to '45' or lower eliminates it completely on our unit. Unfortunately, this solution also results in a very soft and blurry image.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is flicker-free at all backlight settings, which helps reduce eye strain. There have been reports of flicker with certain games, so we decided to look into it:
We noticed a flicker-like effect when displaying this GIF. It changes the brightness of the screen and causes horizontal lines to appear, and when we close the GIF, this effect stops and the screen returns to normal. The same issue appears even after updating the firmware to version 1009.3, and the new VRR Control setting doesn't seem to change anything in regards to this flicker issue. We can't replicate the same flicker some people have experienced in games (see Refresh Rate) without knowing the exact game and settings used that caused this flicker-like effect. However, we did notice this effect with Local Dimming on, as it seems the backlight turns itself on and off a few times. We also noticed the dimming zones flicker a bit during our Brightness tests. If you experience this issue, let us know in the comments below.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has an optional backlight strobing feature, commonly known as black frame insertion. It works at a wide flicker range, and like most monitors, it can't be used when VRR is enabled. Keep in mind the scoring is based on the flicker range and not the actual performance.
Update 07/30/2021: Unfortunately, VRR doesn't appear to be functioning correctly with the refresh rate set to 60Hz. This only happened to us after firmware update 1009.3 when Samsung added the VRR Control setting; let us know if you experience the same issue.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has native FreeSync VRR support, and it's certified by NVIDIA to be G-SYNC compatible. G-SYNC only works over a DisplayPort connection, and the refresh rate over HDMI is limited to 144Hz.
We received reports that the backlight flickers with VRR enabled. We displayed a test photo that reportedly causes this flicker with VRR enabled, and when the image was displayed full-screen, the brightness of the screen dimmed a bit. It did the same thing without VRR enabled, and when the image was at any other size than 100% scaling, the brightness went back up. We tested this in SDR, HDR, and with different games, but despite actively trying, we couldn't reproduce the issue. This appears to vary between units, as there are multiple other confirmations of units that don't flicker, but your results could vary.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. It increases a bit with VRR, but it shouldn't be noticeable to most people. We also measured the 10-bit HDR input lag at 144Hz instead of its max 240Hz because that's the max refresh rate over DisplayPort, as we only measure input lag over HDMI.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a great 32 inch screen with a 1440p resolution, providing you enough space to multitask. There's also a 27 inch version of this monitor, which should have a 109 PPI pixel density, like the AOC CQ27G1. The higher pixel density helps improve text clarity. The newer version of this monitor, the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 has a 4k resolution, so the pixel density is even higher.
Note: Some users have reported issues when displaying a gray, vertically-lined image at 1080p without any scaling. We can replicate this issue, which you can read more about here; let us know if you experience the same thing.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 has a few extra features to improve the user experience. There's RGB lighting on the back that you can customize, and there are Picture-in-Picture and Picture-and-Picture modes if you want to connect two or more sources. The other features include:
- Crosshair: Add a virtual crosshair on the screen for FPS games.
- Black Stabilizer: Adjusts the gamma so you can see opponents in shadows in games.
- Frame Rate Counter: Displays the current frame rate of your signal.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 32 inch Samsung Odyssey G7, and for the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the Odyssey G7 27 inch model (C27G75T) too. It's part of the 2020 Odyssey lineup, and you can see the differences between them below. Our results are only valid for the Odyssey G7 model. There's also a Costco variant of this monitor, known as the LC32G73TQSNXZA. It appears to have the same specs, and we expect it to perform the same.
| Name | Size(s) | US Model | Short Model Code | Refresh Rate | Resolution |

If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Samsung Odyssey G7 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between units.
Our unit of the Odyssey G7 was manufactured in May 2020; you can see the label here.
Compared To Other Monitors
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is a really good upgrade over the Samsung CHG70, and it's one of the best gaming monitors we've tested. It's one of the few 240Hz monitors with a VA panel on the market, so if you want a fast refresh rate and a great contrast ratio, this is the one to get. Although it doesn't have wide viewing angles like some of the 240Hz monitors with an IPS panel we've seen, like the ASUS VG279QM, most people should be happy with this monitor.
Check our recommendations for the best curved gaming monitors, the best 240Hz monitors, and the best 1440p monitors.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the Gigabyte M28U use different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses. The Samsung uses a VA panel, and it's a much better gaming monitor overall. The Samsung has a much faster response time at 60Hz, lower input lag, and better contrast. The Gigabyte, on the other hand, supports HDMI 2.1, so it's better for next-gen console gaming, and it has much better viewing angles and a higher resolution screen.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is a much better gaming monitor than the LG 27GL850-B. The Samsung has a VA panel that displays deep blacks, and it has better uniformity. It also has a 240Hz refresh rate, the response time is a bit quicker, and it's available in both a 27 and 32 inch size. However, the LG has an IPS panel with much better viewing angles.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is better than the Dell S3220DGF for most uses. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate, 240Hz compared to the Dell's 165Hz, and its response times are significantly faster, resulting in clearer images in fast-moving scenes. It has better reflection handling and gets brighter to combat glare. You can get the Samsung in a 27 inch or 32 inch size, but the Dell is only available in a 32 inch.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the Gigabyte M27Q are both great monitors with excellent gaming performance. However, they're different. The Samsung is available in a 27 inch and 32 inch size, while the Gigabyte is only available in a 27 inch. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate of 240Hz and a faster response time, resulting in smoother motion and greater responsiveness, although the difference is not that big and might be hard to notice for casual players. The Samsung is better for dark rooms because it has a VA panel with a better contrast ratio, while the Gigabyte has wider viewing angles because it has an IPS panel. The Gigabyte has a few more features, like a USB-C input and KVM, which lets you control two devices with one set of peripherals.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the Dell S2721DGF are very different monitors. The Samsung has a curved VA panel and is better suited for dark rooms, while the Dell has a flat IPS panel with wider viewing angles. Gaming-wise, the Samsung performs better mainly because it has a much higher refresh rate, 240Hz compared to the Dell's 165Hz. The Dell has better response time at max refresh rate, though, especially in dark transitions. The Samsung is available in a 27 inch and 32 inch size, while the Dell is only available in a 27 inch size.
Gaming-wise, the ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q and the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T are very similar. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate than the ASUS, but the difference might not be noticeable to many gamers. Although both monitors have a black frame insertion feature to improve motion clarity, only the ASUS allows you to use it simultaneously with VRR. The most notable difference between them is that the Samsung has a curved VA panel better suited for dark rooms, while the ASUS has a flat IPS panel with wider viewing angles.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the LG 27GP850-B use different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses. The LG has better viewing angles, but this comes at the expense of contrast. The Samsung has much better contrast, so it's a better choice for a dark room. The Samsung's black frame insertion (BFI) feature is far more versatile, as it's available across the entire refresh rate range of the monitor, as low as 60Hz, while the BFI on the LG is only available in a narrow range.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the Gigabyte M32U are both excellent gaming monitors, but the better one depends a bit on your personal preferences. The Samsung uses a VA panel, and it's a better choice for a dark room. The Gigabyte has an IPS panel, so it's best for a brighter viewing environment. The Gigabyte also has better viewing angles, and it supports HDMI 2.1, so it's a better choice for Sony PS5 or Xbox Series S|X gamers.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is a much better gaming monitor than its predecessor, the Samsung CHG70. The Odyssey G7 has an upgraded 240Hz refresh rate, the response time is much quicker, it has a wider color gamut, and it has RGB illumination. However, the CHG70 has better out-of-the-box color accuracy, and its ergonomics are better.
The LG 34GN850-B and the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T are very different monitors. The Samsung is a 16:9 model available in a 27 inch or 32 inch size, while the LG is a 21:9 model that only comes in a 34 inch size. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate, but its response time isn't as good as the LG's because it has more overshoot causing inverse ghosting, as well as slow dark transitions that can result in dark smearing behind fast-moving objects. If you game in the dark, the Samsung is a much better choice because it uses a VA panel with a significantly higher contrast ratio. However, it comes at the cost of narrow viewing angles, so if you need to share your screen with someone else, the LG might be a better choice.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q and the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G755T are great monitors with excellent gaming performance. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate and slightly better response time, but the difference might not be noticeable for most casual players. The Samsung is better suited for dark rooms because it uses a VA panel with a much higher contrast ratio, and it supports HDR. However, the ASUS' stand allows for more ergonomic adjustments, and its IPS panel has wider viewing angles, making it a better choice for sharing content or playing co-op games.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is much better than the Gigabyte G32QC. The Samsung has a higher refresh rate and a faster response time, particularly in dark transitions, resulting in less dark smearing behind fast-moving objects. It's also much quicker at 60Hz, making it a better choice for 60fps console gaming. Although both monitors use VA panels, the Samsung has a higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper blacks. Also, it can produce a wider range of colors in HDR content.
In name, the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 is an updated version of the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T, but they're different types of monitors. The S28AG70 is a flat 4k monitor with a 28 inch screen, while the LC32G75T is a curved 1440p model available in 27 and 32 inches. The S28AG70 has an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, and the LC32G75T has a VA panel with better contrast. In terms of picture quality, the LC32G75T is better in a few areas as it gets brighter and has better reflection handling, and even though it has a quicker overall response time, the S28AG70 has better motion handling because there's less black smearing.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is much better overall than the Samsung Odyssey G5 LC34G55T. The G7 is available in both 27 and 32 inches and has a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, a much faster response time, and its black frame insertion feature flickers at a much wider range than on the G5. The G7 also has a local dimming feature, which the G5 doesn't have, but it doesn't add much because it performs terribly. 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.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is significantly better than the Samsung Odyssey G5 LC27G55T. The G7 has a better contrast ratio, higher refresh rate, and much faster response time. It also has a better SDR and HDR color gamut, and it gets a lot brighter. On the other hand, the G5 has built-in speakers and is much cheaper.
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T and the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD are both great monitors with excellent gaming performance; however, they're different. The Samsung uses a VA panel and is available in a 27 inch or 32 inch size, while the MSI uses an IPS panel and is only available in a 27 inch. If you want better dark room performance, go with the Samsung because it can produce much deeper blacks. It has a higher refresh rate as well, but the difference is often hard to tell for most casual gamers. The MSI isn't as good for dark rooms due to its IPS panel's mediocre contrast, but it provides wider viewing angles, and it has USB-C input.
