Very strange - Have you tried resetting to factory settings then the firmware upgrade process. Only thing I could suggest is download the file again and try again. I guess you probably have already tried these things so appreciate they may be no good. Samsung, what are ya playing at!

Did you enable VRR in the OSD settings? Totally eradicated it for me, no flicking at all for me since I turned that on.
I think it was greyed out, is there a specific way to access it?
Make sure adapter sync is on (gsync) abd then you can enable VRR in support section of the OSD.
I'm blown away with the G7's image quality. After calibration, the picture it puts out is approaching my professionally-calibrated Panasonic GZ2000 OLED TV. Of course, it can't come close in terms of HDR without more sophisticated local dimming, but the overall colour fidelity, with natural looking skin tones and clear motion, as well as black levels are excellent. I have the 27" version and the only thing I don't like is the 1000R curve. I'd prefer something slightly less curved or flat. Other than that, I can't fault it. No flickering issues after applying the latest firmware update dated 2 November.
A photo taken with a camera can never fully illustrate what the eye sees (especially after JPG compression and when trying to capture HDR content), but here are some samples I've taken:

Hey guys,
Seems like I cannot turn "Adaptive Sync" on, for my new G9, in 120fps - screen just goes black, turns on for a brief sec, then turns black again... The only fix after that is to restart the PC and turn off adaptive sync again.
I've got an MSI 2080, so it can't be DSC... Got latest Nvidia drivers & G9 firmware. Any ideas/anyone experienced similar issues?

That looks fantastic. I plan to buy one shortly. What are your calibrated settings please.
CAVEAT: The calibration settings from my monitor won't apply to your unit and may even make it look worse, since each individual monitor is different. I would recommend performing your own calibration using test patterns to adjust black level, white level, gamma, contrast and brightness using the OSD controls. That'll give you a pleasant outcome for general use in your own environment. I also recommend always using a hardware calorimeter if colour fidelity is important for your workflow since 'eyeballing it' often isn't accurate enough.
With the disclaimer out of the way, my final settings were:
Picture mode: Custom
Gamma mode 3 (1 also works well)
Contrast 75
Sharpness 60
Brightness 17 (mine's in a fairly dim room, adjust this up or down according to your ambient light settings)
Red 46, green 50, blue 46
Colour tone: Custom
Eye saver mode: off
Dynamic brightness: off
Local dimming: Auto (so the local dimming feature only kicks in while displaying HDR content)
Samsung also seems to be calibrating these at the factory, at least this was mentioned in the OSD menu on my unit. Indeed, the contrast setting was spot on. I've used that custom picture mode with the factory calibration as my starting point and only adjusted gamma, RGB colour channels and the brightness to suit my environment. I don't have a colorimeter right now, but it looks close enough to my professionally calibrated TV "by eye" that I'm happy with it.

Does anyone know the manufactured date of the G9 that OCUK has in stock? Just want to make sure I'm not going to have an issues before I order it!
Thanks for that
Had updated mine and the flickering in menu problem was fixed but i hadn't turned on "vrr control" as couldnt see it in menu...had to scroll>
will try tonight with it on
Well Samsung have refunded me, even though I didn't ask for it back and would have preferred they just send me one of the new stock they get hopefully sometime soon unless they do a recall etc (doubt that would happen). I'm off the g9 now and will just get a 4k monitor and seperate 4k tv (hdmi 2.1 ofcourse) for PS5. Goodluck with yours guys.
Cheers bud that helped no flicker now so far.
Also managed to start fixing the washed out colours look. Hasn't been the firmware as someone had already told me. It must have been the last Nvidia driver update, going into NvidCPL and reworking settings through that is already making a big difference.
Many thanks for that I wasn't scrolling down on the system menu so ended up missing it. Great tip!
