![]() Other areas like the front-facing RGB LED elements have also been refined. ![]() Obviously this monitor isn't curved, unlike the 1440p 240Hz variants, and that's a huge improvement in our book since we weren't huge fans of the 1000R curve for this format of display. The design for the Odyssey G7 S28 model is similar to the original Odyssey G7, except refined in several ways. Instead of arranging this review sample from Samsung, we bought this monitor from retail for testing. Given Samsung's recent history of quality control issues, we wanted to test this display to see if any of the same issues are present. This new 4K panel generation is the most affordable yet, and the Odyssey S28 is no exception, usually available at around $700, which is in the ballpark of its competitors and more affordable than the $900+ 4K monitors from years prior. The Odyssey G7 S28 is one of several new generation 4K 144Hz IPS displays for gaming, mirroring the specs of popular monitors such as the Gigabyte M28U, and the panel used here appears to be the same model from Innolux. It's a little disappointing how Samsung has ruined the naming scheme for the Odyssey G7, but with that cleared and out of the way, we don't want to get caught up in that too much. In contrast, the original G7 is a 1440p 240Hz 27" curved VA display, otherwise known as the LC27G75T, so clearly these are two very different products and you don't want to be confusing the C27G7 with the S28AG7 model. Samsung also advertises it as the "Odyssey G70A 28-inch" or the "Odyssey G7 UHD 28-inch" in various countries. It's called the LS28AG700 (usually with even more letters and numbers after that depending on your region), but for this review we'll be shortening it to the S28 model. The new Odyssey G7 brings to the table a 28-inch 4K 144Hz IPS panel aimed at gamers. Now you might be wondering, hang on a moment, didn't you already review the Odyssey G7 way back in 2020? And you'd be correct, but last year Samsung released a new Odyssey G7, which is a little bit confusing, however it's a very different monitor in terms of specifications. Today we're reviewing the Samsung Odyssey G7.
