from the stats that he was showing it was better than most besides monitors that are $3000+ canadian such as the acer predator x35 comparing a $3000+ to a $900 dollar monitor doesnt make sense

@@lifeofabachelor8547 they have to be a comparrison as.. What other 600 nit 1440p 27" or 32" monitors are there to compare to? Any comparrison is always done with a high end. And low end to understand where it sits at the price point

@@ibslice Except the top of the charts were HDR 1000 true HDR monitors while this Samsung unit is only an HDR 600 rated unit. You also can't complain and pan a monitor for not being true HDR while being a flagship gaming monitor and then a few minutes later state that those true HDR monitors are in the $2k+ range. I got the feeling from this and the regular features review that he didn't like the curved Samsung and thus set out to try and tear it down wherever he could. There definitely appears to be a certain bias against this monitor for some reason that does appear to be bleeding through.

@@Talishar I've been shopping for a good HDR monitor for a year now that can fit my 27in dual monitor set up. I appreciated the thorough information and didn't feel a bias or the appearance of one. He's just letting you know where this monitor stands in the classic informative unbiased Unboxed way. It just sucks this market is where it's at, where I'll probably upgrade my LG C9 tv before I can upgrade my monitors. HDR really is more of a drastic change at 27in than going from 1440p to 2160p.

@@ArnoldMejia Except the monitor never billed itself as true HDR which is HDR 10+ cert like the monitors at the top of the rankings. He immediately jumped on the curve and you could tell from that point on, he was gunning for it so to speak. The problem is, true HDR at 27 inches is actually going to be a lot more expensive with the same response time and refresh rate. He says how this is billed as their premium monitor, but it's actually not. This is their penultimate gaming monitor. It's primary focus should be on response time, refresh rate and other things related to the important things a gaming monitor should be. He instead tried to focus extra hard on the lack of full HDR which it never was billed as and the curve. The thing is though, he already admitted he doesn't like curved monitors but continued to pan it anyways. The problem you're going to have with monitors is that their relatively compact frames and much higher pixel density over TVs means that any of the big tech from the TV world is going to be extremely expensive in the smaller monitor space. When I saw the ~$700 for this monitor, I knew it wasn't going to be a FALD, HDR 10+ monitor. Samsung doesn't even bill it as such. I wouldn't even fault this monitor for only having 8 zones as a FALD monitor with these other specs would probably be pushing $1.5 to $2k. You aren't going to see Samsung lose their asses in trying to push that high end tech down to such a low price point in such a big jump. Yet the entire review felt to me that he was just hammering the monitor for not reaching near the level of those $2k monitors.

I mean it's still pretty obvious what movie that was anyway lol.

nothing sad about that imagine u made that music and you dont get paid for it

I’ve never used a curved monitor before so may I ask how this affects games like fifa, 2k, and FPS shooters?

@@ScoobySnacksRI I mean you get used to it. I've played fifa and cod all my life and it's great

What is your old IPS monitor?

Do you have the obs setting? Not sure if I did mine right

Do u deal with back light bleed

$800 for the G7 is insane. Nothing really compares at that price point, as said in the video.

And good news, I can say that its definitely more worth buying now if you're looking for a good va panel. As of currently, they're going for 549.99 on places like NewEgg or B&H. But mind you thats in the US. Edit: They're now up to 599.99, but that's still 100$ less compared to the original price ($699) Note that this is for the 27 inch. The 32 inch version is 799.99. A bit steep for me, so I'm getting the 27 inch version soon.

It's better to buy TV fot that price if you are looking for good HDR

i just got g7 32'' for 400 usd brand new

@@user-vq6ym6qg4j mine came on the 22 nd was meant to be 21st, but it's here in one peace now av not had much time to use it yet

need this heavy but honestly i don't think not enough good options exist for him to make a list i've been looking there's always compromises.

@@gsegarra21 That's why I didn't even consider HDR when I bought this monitor. Haven't gotten it yet, but I think it's pressing enough compared to competition to satisfy me against all of its issues. My main requirement was that it has to be OLED and still perform in low response and high refresh rates with minimal artifacts. This excels at that, this is QLED (Quantum OLED), and that's even better.

@@tycorrell5390 I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. QLED is not OLED. QLED is just Samsungs name for it's quantom dot panel technology. It's still a backlit LED LCD. If you bought this because you had a requirement that it should be OLED, and someone told you it was, I'd ask for a refund.

@@Alendo Thanks for the info man, feel bad for mixing it up somehow and advocating it here. So it's "Quantum dot LED". I saw QLED back when it came out for their TVs and was impressed, so I'm not surprised I have still been naive about it after using it for a couple weeks. Explains why darks aren't all that dark in comparison. The picture quality and vibrancy is on par though and excellent. I'm happy with this monitor. With the high refresh rate and curvature I'm seeing an immediate improvement in my games. I do not like that naming convention one bit though, lol.

@@tycorrell5390 The colors of this monitor are great! and the HDR perfomance is pretty decent.

Ur a smart man Daniel

Ignorance is bliss

Isn’t the GN950 G-Sync Compatible? Are there other things from the G-Sync module that aren’t in FreeSync 2 displays? I know AMD upped the requirements for FreeSync 2/introduced different levels, thought the GN850 was at least FreeSync 2.

It is g sync compatible but it would be interesting for someone to test the difference and these 2 monitors should offer a good comparison. The other + point of the GN950 is that you should be able to run either a Nvidia or AMD gpu which could be very useful if the recent leaks are to be believed.

They said that would need to purchase it because LG wouldn't sent them one.

@@insgr well I've got that one. Review short, it's amazing :D but I'm a noob, so yeah idk. haha monitor goes bling

Cant get it in Australia sadly.

Its bad lg has back crushing no tru 2. 1 hdmi and bad motion handling c9 is better but for gaming a q70r or q80 r is better if used as pc monitor qled is better

I would rather have Tim review the true PC monitor LG 34GN850-B instead. 48" is the size of a television, and not suitable for a desk.

I leave the zones off on my TV as well, I hate the zones, it's a terrible artifact, I accept not as deep blacks to have the brighter colors.

@@gavinw77 Yeah mate... Thats it.. Like he mentions, its off putting during a movie with the top and bottom black bars.

Yes please review the XiaoMi MI surface 2K 21:9 display!!!!!

you feedback g7 pls

@@HMaximiano It's definitely my favourite non-HDR monitor. I have used a lot of VA's and usually consider them trash, but the g7 is a whole new league. However, HDR on it is terrible and it absolutely cannot replace a more expensive FALD monitor. In it's price range though, it's definitely become my main recommendation.

is it any good? i assume u have it now

@@mryellow6918 It was good until it wasn't. Mine had problems, the screen would tear and black out every 5 to 10 minutes. I probably got a bad QC batch, they stopped selling them for a month or two because of it. I returned mine and didn't get again though. I went with the Asus PG35VQ.

@@richs347 these led monitor are a joke...

@@MonstaAU its not "tv unboxed" either. It's hardware unboxed ;)

it's hanging from a wire

Shouldn't it be on bulldozer? 😉

It's been like that for Weeks & is probably just the Box

4000:1 is one of the best static contrast ratios you can get on a PC monitor and only a handful of monitors go beyond that. Vs 1000-2000 : 1 it makes a huge difference, and to really go to a higher tier, your only option is basically an OLED TV. Personally I don't really care about HDR, as most games still don't support it. But I do care about uniformity, color accuracy (in SDR), good contrast ratios and general good picture quality and I am never going to get that with an edge-lit cheapo overclocked VA panel. I wonder if the monitor manufacturers will ever get that into their skulls. Plus that insane curve really puts a nail in its coffin for me.

​@@Scorpius165 a good VA monitor - or even the cheapest VA TV can go up to 5000:1 easily, 4000:1 really isn't that exceptional as far as contrast goes and if a grand and a half HDR1000 panel can only archive that much with their fancy full array local dimming, reversing back to 2000:1 really isn't that much of a difference, I just don't think Hardware Unboxed is being objective. They didn't even test it out in real games like they did with the old Samsung CHG90 and Predator X27. This monitor should at least perform on par with CHG90 at the very least. But I do agree that with you on the curving, Samsung really drive me nut with that. They really should have at least included a flat model alternative to their curve high end display

Anything edge lit for HDR is pure garbage. Unless this monitor is under 400$.

@MegaAlpakka the only ones worth buying are the ips variants no issues and they come close to oled in picture quality the pg27uq and x27 for about $1300 new now and used for about $999 worth that price point over what they used to be $2000

@@ployth9000 Don't see them anywhere close to that price right now. I am debating what monitor to pair with my upcoming 3090. Shame they are still behind on ports.
