Meet the Odyssey Neo G7 43" — The First Mini-LED Flat Gaming Monitor From Samsung Electronics
Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of Odyssey Neo G7 (Model name: G70NC), the company's first flat Mini-LED model, adding a new form factor to the industry-leading Odyssey lineup. The new monitor delivers a large screen designed to give gamers a more comprehensive range of vision and details—inviting them to the worlds of their games with lifelike picture quality.
"The gaming monitor market is only going to get bigger, and gamers are now seeking more out of their monitors," said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "We are not just delivering better gaming experience—we are rebuilding new smart capabilities into our screens that give gamers an all-in-one place for technology and entertainment. Our innovations are enabling gamers everywhere to stay absorbed in their games with visual performance that enhances the intense emotional experiences."
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 is designed to deliver lifelike picture quality, a customizable high-performance viewing environment and personalized features for optimal gaming and entertainment.
Gaming Monitor Big Enough for Any Game and Platform
The large 43" screen delivers 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) with VESA Display HDR 600 and HDR 10+ certification for advanced picture quality showcasing the best graphics of today. The Odyssey Neo G7 brings Samsung's Quantum Matrix Technology to the fore, using Quantum Mini LEDs, which enable ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs. As a result, users can see richer blacks, more expansive color expression and more detail, even in shadowy gaming environments.
Additionally, the Matte Display reduces light reflection on the screen, minimizing distractions during the most intense gaming sessions and letting the large screen deliver details while keeping the player focused on the game and the stunning visual performance.
The Odyssey Neo G7 is a great monitor for any gaming platform—using DisplayPort or HDMI connection to hook it up to the users' Gaming rig or switch to HDMI 2.1 to play on their latest game console. Another option is to play a mobile game on a larger 43" screen through the built-in WIFI/Bluetooth or just connect a controller to enjoy a game in the cloud without even having a console.
Performance To Take Gaming to the Next Level
A 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms (MPRT) response time allow a swift, smooth response and enable precise mouse movements. Even during the most intense moments, the Odyssey Neo G7 keeps extremely smooth and fast action gameplay and reduces stuttering, input latency and screen tearing through AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support.
Users increasingly expect personalized and customizable gaming experiences. The Odyssey Neo G7 provides a range of innovative features that let users adjust screen size, position and even ratio for an optimal gaming setup. Flex Move Screen allows users to adjust the screen size between 43- and 20-inches to match their preferred size based on the game they play and even change the screen position. So, users can find the perfect way to perform at their best in any game.
To personalize their performance, users can use Samsung Game Bar, a powerful tool enabling users to quickly view and change important settings without ever needing to leave the game screen. Players can see and change FPS (Frames Per Second), aspect ratio, high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh rate (VRR) or adjust settings such as screen ratio, response time and Game Picture mode. Game Bar puts the player in control without missing any of the action.
Smart Features for Personalized Experiences
The Odyssey Neo G7 is equipped with smart features to cater to users' wide variety of needs, with customizable experiences through Samsung Smart Hub and Samsung Gaming Hub.
Samsung Gaming Hub is an all-in-one game streaming discovery platform that allows instant access to games from partners such as Xbox and NVIDIA GeForce NOW, with no downloads or storage space requirements. It is the ultimate tool to enable users the freedom to explore every corner of the gaming world without limitations.
In addition, users can also get the smart TV experience with apps from partners like Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube through Samsung Smart Hub to enjoy various over-the-top (OTT) content using an Internet connection without even booting up their PC or connecting to other devices.
The Odyssey Neo G7 will be available globally from Q1 2023, with launch schedules varying by region.

4.3 inch?
Inputs include DP 1.4 (which means it can't do 4K144 at 4:4:4, it's limited to 4K120 at full color) and "HDMI 2.1" which is now a meaningless number because the term "HDMI 2.0" has been deprecated and so now every HDMI 2.x port is called HDMI 2.1 (yes this is true). So unless a spec says "HDMI 2.1 4K120 4:4:4" or "HDMI 2.1 48Gbps" then you can assume it's HDMI 2.0.
This could still be interesting if it's $699 or less but that seems super unlikely (the LG C2 42" is $899 at the moment).
Samsung: "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
So when they say "intense emotional experiences" they mean this petulant, slightly disturbing, yet hilarious, shit right here :D :roll:
Something to take into account is if graphics cards would support eARC without problems. I never tried but those kind of things can often be a nightmare (seeing a soundbar as a display is already an indication of that). As you don't need HDCP on pc you could always use a simple 10$ splitter (i don't know if there are any 2.1 compliant ones though)Not even that is enough as all HDMI 2.1 are optional, be it bandwidth, ALLM, VRR, etc. all optional. The current situation is really a fucking joke, so far it has not been as bad as it could get but give it a few months/years and the situation can quickly become a circus.
on Acer Predator 43" 120Hz 4K ~100 fps
and its a blessing
Why would you need LCD with Mini LED backlighting for work tho? haha if you want precision, there's many better monitors than this, made for actual work.
Mini LED has issues as well; Input lag is very high when all zones are being controlled on point. This is why Mini LED is a gimmick for fast gaming monitors, because zones are disabled or bumped down ALOT in actual game mode, or games will feel like VSYNC ON = Huge input delay.
There's gaming mini LED monitors that have sky high input lag when HDR is enabled, and this is because ALL ZONES are pretty much disabled outside of HDR.
Many TVs with Mini LED backlighting has decent image quality outside of game mode, but looks kinda bad in game mode. OLED shines in both.
I have used OLED for years when it comes to TVs. LCD is simply trash in comparison. I need more OLED monitors for sure. Could not care less about a small risk of burn-in when LCD has TONS of issues on day one. LCD is simply dated tech and I can't wait to replace my last LCD panels; My gaming monitor and laptop. EVERYTHING ELSE have been OLED for years and I have never seen burn-in on any OLED panel that I owned.
