Might be worth waiting a couple months, im sure there are new panels coming out this year
I hope so, im buying new monitors but there are too many shortcomings in every model. If i want great gaming IPS monitor with srgb mode i can choose LG but it have low contrast, there are others monitor with same or better color and contrast, but no srgb mode. Then i looked at va monitors, G7 is the best va panel, but too much curve, 1500r or 1800r would be perfect, i dont know why they dindt manufacture that.
No, as I believe the curve is intentional and not for style. VA has lesser viewing angles than IPS, as you move your head around the colours start to "wash out", if you view it head on, so full greed mode for gaming or other use this is a non issues and its great. The curve makes sure the sides are just as in focus as the middle and just off middle, so improves the colours and viewing experience.
What about 1500 or 1800r?
Too much curve, I assume you have set one up on your desk and used one then to feel this way?, if not, forget the pictures or reviews online, the curve feels natural and for gaming its the most immersive experience, I simply do not even notice the curve while using this monitor anymore, flat screens are unnatural and force you to sit far back because the sides are soo far away and your eyes have to refocus all the time for a different distance, this screen is uniform for your eyes.
How it is to watch pictures, movies and reading texts? And how good is 27 size with that curve, do i need to position monitor too close to my eyes?
I do not use my pc for work, only gaming and general use browsing and entertainment. For those purposes it feels amazing, especially for gaming and content watching, watching movies, shows and youtube/netflix is perfect. I do not have any issues using and reading these forums on the screen either. Even MS Excel looks and works fine for me.
For content creation i will use it only for programming. But most important thing besides gaming are watching movies and reading so i want to know how it feels doing this when compare with flat version. And is it better to buy 27 or 32 inch for that amount of curve?
For watching content and gaming its perfect, I have the 32 inch version and because of the curve it feels a little smaller than 32 inches would do if flat, but in a good way. I would go for the 32 inch again given the choice for sure 100%.

That's about the only thing which is preventing me from ordering it. Ideally, I'd want one without any sort of curve.

49" with 1500R or 1800R is probably my ideal one. 1000R just seems too curved for my liking as i wont be using it just for games as I need to use it for work
Does anyone else with a G9 and an Nvidia GPU have issues using Nvidia's Instant Replay/Recording feature in the Geforce Experience? Recording used to work for me (I've never tried Instant Replay until now), but it just starts the recording and then instantly stops. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the Nvidia Drivers/Geforce Experience but that doesn't fix it. Just curious if it has something to do with the resolution?
Are you sure? I don't remember seeing anything noteworthy on displayninja, certainly not in this price bracket. Are there any other good resources that list upcoming panels?
In fact, it seems to be taking longer and longer to actually get new panels to market in production monitors. A lot of them seem to end up being delayed by a year for some reason.
*edit* Actually I meants TFT Central (https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/high_refresh_rate.htm and https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/monitor_panel_parts.htm) although I see that displayninja have an article about new screens too.

Totally agree, R1000 is perfect on a screen this wide
Yes, I think the autodisabling of shadowplay/instant replay came about from the 8k update. I don’t think shadowplay properly supports 5120x1440. If you want to record, you have to set the recording resolution to 1080p and it will capture a downscaled video (but still at 32:9). From reading around I think that’s what shadowplay may have done automatically before the 8k update.

Hi all, wonder if someone can help. I want to create an UW resolution on my 32" G7 (for gaming) and it throws up an error on the G.Pixel Clock (with nvidia it's easy, you just create and off you go!). How do I calculate the number needed? I want to create a 2560x1080 240Hz res.
Thanks
edit - @Baddass Any chance you know the formula for the above?

So I'm tempted to order a Samsung Odyssey G7 32". Just built a new rig and waiting on a RTX 3080 to arrive to finish it.
However I've read some issues regarding screen flickering and G-Sync not working? Am I better off holding out for a newer model which is likely to fix these issues? Has anyone here had issues with the current model but figured out how to fix them?

Not sure if it’s at all relevant but the G9 suffered from these issues but they’ve since been resolved with updates to monitor firmware and drivers.
