for our sponsored unboxing of the Odyssey G7 monitor so they sent us something even better a flip and crate let's get this puppy open and have a look at the little brother to what is arguably the god of current gaming monitors the Odyssey G9 inside then we've got a nice sturdy base a height adjustable stand so on top of the basic adjustments like tilt it's got a little bit of swivel built in there it can also pivot it goes up and down this is nice nice little Cable Management dude out of my Jiggy right there we've got DisplayPort power brick USB 3 and power cord and big reveal the new G7 even though it shares the same name as the old G7 is a very different Beast instead of being a 1440p curved panel it's actually a 4K flat panel this time around Boop it goes on a little something like that and these are nice captive screws so you never have to worry about losing them and since we're back here it's a perfect time to talk about a couple of other features so we just take this kind of plastic trim piece clip it together and clip it on and you can see that under it is actually an RGB ring this has a feature that Samsung calls core sync which allows the LED lights at the back to synchronize with the content that's being displayed on the screen so there's technologies that exist that do this already but many of them are third-party now it's built right into the monitor the other big one is HDMI 2.1 that's right ladies and gentlemen we've got not just DisplayPort here but also HDMI 2.1 so that means a maximum of 4K 120 hertz meaning that this could be a perfect pair for

grabs it let's see if it picked up at 144 by default I see 120 is definitely yep there it is 4K 144hz absolutely no configuration and we're running at 8-bit color RGB full dynamic range perfect this is an HDR 400 monitor so for any games or videos that support HDR you will be able to accept an HDR signal though it should be noted that for the best HDR experience you will prefer something more like the Odyssey G9 which can handle if I recall correctly Samsung rates it at 2 000 nits Peak brightness compared to 400 on this one another thing we can confirm in the NVIDIA control panel is support for g-sync this is a desync compatible monitor it's also freesync premium Pro certified so what that means is if you don't happen to have the absolute latest and greatest graphics card that can you know push 4K 144 frames per second when your FPS does dip the display will dynamically adjust its refresh rate depending on the FPS that your machine is putting out which helps to smooth animations and reduce tearing and stutter this is an IPS type panel which means that whether you're looking at it from a fairly extreme angle like I am so that you guys can see the front as well or

support for g-sync and freesync so no matter what flavor of graphics card you want to hook up to it you are freaking good to go and of course their coursing functionality which synchronizes the lighting at the back of the monitor so that it'll kind of Shine off the wall with what's being displayed on the screen if you guys enjoyed this video make sure you get subscribed and you can check out
