      Save yourself some money and don't buy a 144Hz monitor for movies. Movies are recorded in 24fps. This is a monitor for gamers who will utilize the full 144Hz with their beefy $4000 PCs

      • jasswolf on 04/06/2022 - 18:13

        More than that, it's IPS technology. When properly driven, you're going to prefer TN, VA or OLED for gaming in most scenarios, and VA or OLED for videos.

        IPS is primarily for colour consistency (photo colour work, video colour work) and productivity (VA curve not ideal for spreadsheets, VA & TN gamma shifts less preferred for documents).

            @jasswolf: Ppl neg on this forum for no reason, I agree with you however VA has terrible response time for gaming and would highly recommend against it but tn is fine for gaming and so is ips.
            The king of any tech is oled hands down and most ppl play in dark environments so brightness isn’t an issue.
            But for productive work I think I would go ips just because I could game in down time and not have issues with burn in.

            @jasswolf:

            Did I write anything untrue?

            Yes. Almost everything you wrote is misleading at best.

            you're going to prefer TN

            TN (most of the time) have the worst color, and the worst viewing angle, the only thing TN is good at is faster response time and higher refresh rate. (For example you can only obtain 360Hz monitor with TN panel AFAIK). Why would one even bother with 4k144hz TN when other panel technology can also do 4k144hz?

            you're going to prefer … VA … for gaming in most scenarios

            This statement is too broad. VA can be completely different, low end VA have not so great viewing angle, ghosting, slow response, but properly designed VA won't have any of that. In regards color accuracy, it is to each make of panel its own, IPS doesn't automatically have good color, VA in a lot of instances can have more accurate color. Plus VA usually have better contrast than IPS making it better for certain design work.

            P.S. There are straight VA panel out there too, VA doesn't mean automatically curved.

            IPS is primarily for colour consistency

            There are IPS panel out there having 40% sRGB range.

            OLED

            You realise how expensive it is? No joke people prefer OLED.

            VA & TN gamma shifts less

            I don't even know what to say about this one, what on earth does it even supposed to mean?

(For example you can only obtain 360Hz monitor with TN panel AFAIK). Why would one even bother with 4k144hz TN when other panel technology can also do 4k144hz?

              VA tends to have the worst angles due to horizontal gamma shift. TN actually has significant vertical gamma shift, but it's much less pronounced due to reduced colour shift and black level changes unless you slouch in your chair. There are solutions to help with that (driving the panel from multiple points, polarisers, etc), though not all have become economical - or useful - for monitors. TN - particularly as you climb in refresh rate - tends to be fairly even with IPS for contrast, sometimes beating it out.

              Refresh rate is one thing, response times are super important alongside that, but the comment wasn't intended to be specific for 144Hz. You've also not looked into how response time has been measured previously, and how IPS handles return to zero (black). When measured properly, you'll find it's actually quite slow there, leading to powdered trailing. If you look into motion pursuit photography, you'll see that images get blurred out, but it's sometimes missed due to them looking slightly stretched.

              Here's 360Hz IPS vs 280Hz TN and then 360Hz IPS vs 240Hz VA. You can see very clearly that the non-IPS technologies do a much better job of re-producing the test footage from the perspective of motion resolution. Note that RTings measurement tables use the outdated method, and cannot be trusted for IPS measurements returning to 0% in terms of gray-to-gray response times.

              This statement is too broad. VA can be completely different, low end VA have not so great viewing angle, ghosting, slow response, but properly designed VA won't have any of that. In regards color accuracy, it is to each make of panel its own, IPS doesn't automatically have good color, VA in a lot of instances can have more accurate color. Plus VA usually have better contrast than IPS making it better for certain design work.

              There are IPS panel out there having 40% sRGB range.

              I didn't write 'colour accuracy' or 'colour range' or 'colour volume', I wrote 'colour consistency'. The nature of IPS design is to deliver colour reproduction evenly from a reasonable front on use case. VA will have notable inconsistencies left to right, while TN will have them from top to bottom. OLED can even have some pink shifting with WRGB tech using current OLED tech. All of them can be colour and gamma calibrated, but for professional colour work and HDR mastering, studios will use things like dual layer IPS and RGB OLED.

              P.S. There are straight VA panel out there too, VA doesn't mean automatically curved.

              Sure, but I was speaking generally. Most of them are curved because of the aforementioned horizontal gamma shift that occurs.

              You realise how expensive it is? No joke people prefer OLED.

              You could have grabbed a 48" 4K 120Hz OLED with 120Hz BFI for $1000 last month. We've had sub-$1500 QD-OLED widescreen monitor deals already. 42" OLED panels are on their way at the bare minimum, and they will go below $1000 at some point. Some people might want to combine their TV usage with HDR gaming, and LG have some great solutions for that. It's worth having in the discussion.

              I don't even know what to say about this one, what on earth does it even supposed to mean?

              "VA & TN gamma shifts less preferred for documents"

              VA & TN both have gamma shits that are less preferred for documents. Were you trying to pick apart everything I wrote out of spite?

              I hope I've made my point here.

              • OMGJL on 05/06/2022 - 22:58

                @jasswolf: you seems really like to talk about gamma shift.

                FYI bad viewing angle is the cause, gamma shift is the result. You can't even get that right?

                • jasswolf on 06/06/2022 - 00:04

                  @OMGJL: No, how each LCD technology changes off-angle varies. IPS is not flat-out 'wider' with viewing angles under all circumstances, that's not how any of this works.

                  In very simple terms, the key differentiator between LCD technologies is how - and how well - the crystals rotate open to let the backlight shine through, and then how well they close. You can then mitigate the drawbacks of each approach through various refinements (eg. better polarisers). So while you as an individual have a subjective preference for a particular viewing angle presentation, that can be broken apart into things like brightness shift, black level shift, and gamma shift. This is done not just in the angle this becomes noticeable, but the gradient of the shift.

                  Further to this, IPS has an inherent glow to it, that you'll see with dark imagery/scenery in usage. That's separate to backlight bleed, and is an inherent feature of the technology that has to be mitigated for professional usage.

                  There's also viewing angle changes for other technologies, like I mentioned earlier with pink shift and WRGB OLED (LG's technology). My key point overall is that IPS winds up being the slowest technology for response times, but in return you do get colour consistency and a good subjective viewing angle experience. For a monitor that is for primary viewing, I don't think it's a good choice for gaming or video content, and when you look at the testing and evidence, that becomes very clear.

                  Here is some relevant testing data for vertical shift and horizontal shift.

                  Finally, here's this very monitor when compared to a similar refresh rate TN, VA and then IPS when they are well-tuned.

                  I really encourage to go out and learn more from great resources like TFTCentral, PCMonitors.Info, and even some of the bits and pieces on RTings. You'll wind up in more informed discussions - and making better decision - in the future. I'm going to leave it there!

            Not at all, mate. I've been using 28' 4K for work and entertainment. Never had any major issues with Windows scaling at 4K (150%). Some (very) old applications doesn't support 4K scaling, but they're very rare nowadays.

            Except that, everything like text and menus look pleasantly sharper and nicer. I read and write code every day, so difference between 4K and 2K is like night and day. For work, I don't know anyone has been using 4K that wants to go back to 2K same monitor size.

    At this price and similar specs i.e. 28' 4K 144Hz, one can also look for a Gigabyte M28U. The M28U has KVM built-in and USB-C port which I find more useful than the G7's exotic design.

    • TheFyrd on 04/06/2022 - 19:16

      Good find! It's the same panel but with different configurations.

      There does seem to be a calibration factor leaning toward the Samsung though. Samsung comes factory Calibrated while the Gigabyte one doesn't.

    • Masticccc on 04/06/2022 - 19:51

      One clear advantage from G7 is full bandwidth HDMI 2.1, so using PS5 will give 4:2:2 subsampling, while M28U is half bandwidth therefore PS5 using will be 4:2:0. Ofc, if you don't have PS5 then this is not an issue (or if u can't differentiate 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 anyways lol).
      Personally I wfh most of the time, so buy myself a M27Q which also has KVM and it helps me a lot

      Well 32 vs 28 inch is a preference choice, if u only like one of them then there is no reason to choose the other. But if u want the best p/p between those 2, probably g3223q (with Dell discount to 850-890 ofc, not worth the original price).

      As a person using G3223Q for ~ 2 months, I like it a lot. There is only some flaws: have to tweak the settings to use G-sync (while G7 G-sync is more simple to set up), half-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 so PS5 image will be 4:2:0 (G7 offers full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 so PS5 will be 4:2:2)

For fps gaming when I looks at every tiny pixel, it's a lot clearer. But when I do web browsing or working then it's not that much.

        • jasswolf on 04/06/2022 - 22:35

          If you walk up to a 55" 4K television, you'll be able to spot the pixels. 27" 4K monitor you won't readily, but you will be able to see the difference between 4K and 8K subject to the contrast modulation being good enough which has been a challenge for some LCD designs.

          The benefits have been tested beyond 16K, but you are getting diminishing returns. The other benefits of continuously pushing resolution and refresh rate are bring a more natural look to still and movements, and granting some level of redundancy to less effective - but cheaper - panel manufacturing techniques.

              @captaincabinets: You can see pixels at 40-60cms on a 4K 27" monitor, my point was that you need to grasp what they look like first, though poor contrast modulation can get in the way of that, an effect we were seeing on early 8K LCD televisions.

              My other point was that the effect of resolution continues beyond being able to consciously recognise individual pixels.

          Tell that to those GPU HODLers when they consider a 1300 AUD card is expensive while the same card with 1200 AUD being "good price"

      $800 is actually a reasonable price for a 4K 144Hz monitor. One could go for only 4K or 144Hz at half of the price, but having both, this is not too bad.

      • abctoz on 05/06/2022 - 09:33

        500-600 is tops in my books, personally would never pay more than $300 unless i needed it

          You're not a true gamer then, and thats okay.

            @Jugganautx: there are categories of gamers, pro gamers wouldn't even touch this junk because refresh is too low, all they care about is fps and you're not getting max fps at 4k

              @abctoz: First time I've heard 144hz is too low. Junk or not junk, if you don't like this product at this price, just skip it and look for what you need. Good luck. Cheers.

                @QQism: consumer 144hz LCD monitors came out more than 10 years ago, mine was made in 2012…

    M32U is a much better monitor for $100 more

      This was also my choice as I think 32” makes more sense with a 4K monitor.

      Great size for both gaming and WFH.

  • danielm88 on 04/06/2022 - 20:35

    4K 240hz is about to be a thing on the Odyssey neo G8 with Quantum Mini LEDs and claimed HDR 2000 not sure I believe them on that though.

    • Masticccc on 04/06/2022 - 20:55

      Ppl who have the money to buy that monitor won't look at this G7 anyways lol.

    • jasswolf on 04/06/2022 - 22:39

      It is, it's also an elite VA panel. Basically it's 4K version of the G7 240Hz with much better HDR.

      The peak luminance rating has been tested, it's correct.

  • edgyy666 on 05/06/2022 - 14:46

    Thank you OP! Been keeping my eye on options for next gen consoles for a while now.

  • zjz93 on 05/06/2022 - 22:55

    What games are yall playing at 4k 144hz… my 3080 struggles with most AAA at even surpassing 100 at all times on 1440.
