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.

im not sure i would prefer 1000+ zones ips over 500 VA, would need to compare side by side. Im guessing i would prefer the 500 VA option cause i just hate ips.the thing is that this is actually multipurpose, you can not only game on it but watch movies with a high end panel. if it was curved it would kinda ruin it
if anyone that reads this has a hdr10+ display, look for a hdr10+ bluray/remux, and you will understand what i mean.
i know how it compares to oled, and i prefer a good qled over most oleds (lg, sony, etc) with the exception of panasonics because they drive the display brightness to levels other vendors dont. Thing is you cant use oled for desktop if you want them to last more than 1-2 years without burn ins.
now qdoled vs qled considering prices of qdoled have come down i would probably go for them instead of qled if i were to exclusively use it for movies/tv
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDR10%2B
HDR10+ is really just metadata about the dinamic range of each frame, it says nothing about the capabilities of the monitor to actually display that frame as it is intended.
I'd even go as far as to say it would be better if it didn't support HDR10+ at all, since it can't display it anyway then it wouldn't confuse people into trying it thinking they're getting anything remotely close to HDR performance
It's about the source.
There is HDR10+ support on anything from proper OLED screens to lousy DisplayHDR400 certified monitors that have actually no ability to display HDR at all. While nobody would to that, it is technically possible to build a monitor that can read HDR10+ input that only outputs 256 colors, that's how little correlation is there between the input format and what you see on the screen.
For the past 3-4 years, I've been using the amazing LG 43UN700 and before that it was another LG that died and prior to that, the Philips line of 4k "Brilliance" 39"-42" monitors. (note that putting aside the first one I ever had, all of them were "monitors", with DisplayPort, etc. not simply TVs)
I have played thousands of hours of PC games on them and use them for everyday productivity, invariably with Windows scaling at 100% to get absolute maximum desktop real-estate. Once you get used to having every important window visible within your broader field of vision and not flipping back & forth, you never want to go back.
The only "caveat" (if you can call it that) is that an 80cm comfortable viewing distance makes full-screen PC gaming overwhelming and very likely nausea-inducing*. I have grown completely accustomed to gaming at 2560x1600 (or 1440, if needed) in what is roughly a 30" window. It's actually really handy to have Discord windows, e-mail, whatever, visible while you game. Just like when you drive a car, you soon render the car around you "invisible" to your perception of the road; once you are immersed in the game, you don't even notice the surrounding desktop space. That said, if you really needed to, you can just run a full-screen black or dark grey image in the background to act like a matte, but I never bothered.
*TBH, sim-games like Elite Dangerous are spectacular fullscreen! Many hundreds of hours played in ED, same for Supreme Commander (all of them!). It's really your tolerance level for fast transitions of visually "busy" scenes (Assassin's Creed-style games, etc.) that take-up the majority of your field of vision that could be hard to handle.
TL/DR: the vast majority of people who try to visualize using a 40"+ PC display don't understand the entire point of them! You get a 40"+ 4k display for absolute maximum desktop real estate for day-to-day productivity, without the the need for cumbersome (and far worse, ergonomically) multiple monitors. PC gaming is an adaptation to that core use and is very enjoyable, with no practical difference to the myriad 1440p 30"-ish panels common now.
