The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a 32-inch 4k monitor that Samsung released in 2022. Part of the Odyssey gaming lineup, it's different from other G7 models like the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 because it uses Mini LED backlighting and quantum dot technology to display a wider range of colors, similar to the higher-end Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85. It also features a 1000R curved screen to bring the edges more within your field of vision. It focuses on both console and PC gaming because it has a 165Hz refresh rate, VRR support, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that allows you to play 4k games at a high frame rate, as long as your graphics card supports it.
Our Verdict
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 is very good for PC gaming. It has a 165Hz refresh rate with VRR support to reduce screen tearing. It has low input lag for a responsive feel and motion looks sharp for the most part, but there's more inverse ghosting at lower refresh rates with VRR enabled. It also has noticeable VRR flicker with changing frame rates, which is mostly distracting in dark scenes. On the plus side, it delivers good picture quality thanks to its decent local dimming feature and high brightness that makes small highlights pop.
- Supports all common VRR formats.
- Fast response time with most refresh rates.
- Decent local dimming.
- Small highlights pop against dark backgrounds.
- Low input lag with most settings.
- Distracting VRR flicker with changing frame rates.
- Some blooming around bright objects.
- More inverse ghosting at lower refresh rates.
The Samsung Neo G7 is excellent for console gaming. It takes full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and it delivers detailed images thanks to its 4k resolution. Motion looks sharp, but it doesn't eliminate all blur, and it has low enough input lag for a responsive feel, which is great for playing reaction-based games. It also provides life-like images, especially when playing HDR games, as it has a decent local dimming feature that helps it display deep blacks, and colors are vivid.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 is great for office use. The 32-inch screen and high 4k resolution are good enough to open multiple windows at once, and the text clarity is fantastic. It also has okay reflection handling, and it gets bright enough to fight glare, but there are distracting changes in the brightness when you leave the local dimming feature on. Sadly, it has narrow viewing angles that make the image look washed out from the sides.

The Samsung Neo G7 is great for content creators. With a 32-inch screen and 4k resolution, you can edit photos and videos with sharp detail and see more of your work area at once. It also has excellent overall ergonomics that make it easy to adjust, but with a curved screen and narrow viewing angles, it's hard to share the screen with someone else next to you. While it displays a wide range of colors and has decent accuracy before calibration, you still need to calibrate it for the best accuracy.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 32-inch Samsung Neo G7, which is the only size available, and the results are only valid for this model. There are other models in Samsung's Odyssey lineup that share the G7 name, but they're different monitors. They also have the higher-end Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85, which is very similar to the Neo G7 but has a higher 240Hz refresh rate. You can see the differences between them below.
| Size | Name | US Model Code | Resolution | Refresh Rate | Panel Type | Mini LED | Tizen OS | Release Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28" | Odyssey G7 S28AG70 | LS28AG700NNXZA | 4k | 144Hz | IPS | No | No | 2021 |
| 32" | Odyssey G7 S32BG70 | LS32BG702ENXGO | 4k | 144Hz | IPS | No | Yes | 2022 |

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is a great gaming monitor with useful features like the 165Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Its Mini LED backlighting provides better picture quality in dark rooms than many other LED-backlit 32-inch monitors, including the LG 32GQ950-B. It's a good cheaper alternative to the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 if you don't need such a high refresh rate, but like the S32BG85, it has noticeable VRR flicker with changing frame rates in dark scenes. That said, this isn't so much of an issue if your PC can maintain consistent frame rates.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 and the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 are very similar monitors. They likely use the same panel as the picture quality is the same, but the main difference is that the Neo G8 has a 240Hz refresh rate, while the Neo G7 has a 165Hz refresh rate. Another difference is that the Neo G8 uses a different screen coating with much better reflection handling. However, it introduces some haziness, so if that bothers you, the Neo G7 is the better choice.
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 and the Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70 are different types of 4k gaming monitors. They use different panel types; the VA panel on the Neo G7, combined with its Mini LED local dimming feature, makes it the better choice for HDR gaming with deeper blacks and brighter highlights. The Neo G7 also gets brighter and has superior reflection handling, so it's the better choice for well-lit rooms. However, the G70D has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, so it's better for co-op gaming with someone sitting next to you. And although both monitors have similar motion handling, the G70D has less black smearing with fast-moving objects, but it has more inverse ghosting instead.
The Dell Alienware AW3423DW and the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 are both excellent gaming monitors with different features. If you want something for ultrawide gaming, the Dell has an ultrawide screen, while the Samsung is the better choice for high-resolution gaming as it has a higher 4k resolution. They also use different technologies to improve the picture quality as the Dell has a QD-OLED panel with perfect blacks, which is great for dark room gaming, while the Samsung gets brighter in SDR if you want to use it in a bright room.
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 and the AOC Q27G3XMN are both great gaming monitors with a few differences. They each have Mini LED backlighting, and while the Samsung has many more dimming zones, the feature on the AOC does a better job at improving the contrast without too much black crush. The AOC also gets brighter in HDR, making highlights pop more. Additionally, the AOC is the better choice for PC gaming as it has a faster response time with most refresh rates, but the Samsung is better for console gaming thanks to its 4k resolution and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
