One reason I dislike the Samsung Odyssey G7 27-inch monitor and a load of reasons it's great
623I don't normally do this sort of video. I set out to do an unboxing and review of the Samsung Odyssey G7 but ended up having to return it as I didn't like it. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic monitor - well built, with great specs, brilliant features and very few issues, but I couldn't get on with the 27-inch version. See why here.

Features of the Samsung Odyssey G7 include:
1000R Curved Screen
QLED with Quantum dot
240Hz refresh rate
Nvidia G-Sync
Infinity Core lighting
USB Passthrough
HDR
and more
Highlights for me are:
Awesome specs with a fast refresh
Excellent colours
Good build quality and design
Clever stand that allows you to flip it vertically or horizontally with ease
Intelligent HDR settings that auto switch when there's a HDR source
Eye care takes out the harshness for work
Low lights:
Curve is too strong and makes it tough to use.
