- [G-Sync Compatible] Adds support for the Samsung 27" Odyssey G7 gaming monitor
Got my 32" 
Very happy, but damn its big. And the stand is not helping. When aligned with edge of table monitor is some 15cm closer to me than my previous one, plus the curve.
Looking at Vesa mounts, that allow pushing back as far as possible.
anybody tried Vesa with G7 yet?

I bought cheap one off eBay £5 and its flush against the wall but it still sticks out because of the curve but the stand pushed it out much more and it looks cleaner wall mounted

I bought a "Delock displayport cable 8k 60hz " from rain forest and its worked fine over the last month
Not cheap but does 4k@240Hz
using the 3m one myself.
After ringing up I got told that there's no ETA on deliveries for the G7 27" so I decided (reluctantly) to purchase elsewhere. Rang up to Cancel the order and then got told that the rest are due in this Monday as for some reason they only had a part order today but i still went ahead with Cancelling as I don't know who to believe. So for those of you still waiting on G7 27"- They should be in stock Monday. Good luck and I hope you all receive them Monday!

I emailed them this morning to ask if they had any news on when they'd get some in but just got a reply that they didn't have any in stock!. Guessing they're getting fed up of being asked now ....
Does anyone on here have a g9 as of yet? Need some help with the dimensions. Im building a new desk and want the wall behind to match the curve of the g9 to then wall mount it off of that, however its a bit difficult without having one to get the shape of the curve with. Don't know if someone could help me out at all? Fed up of having a half built desk in my front room now!!!

Could you just measure the actual width and depth of just the screen? Should be able to work out the curve then. I know the measurements are on the product page however wanted to measure it just to be 100%.

I read something scary earlier this morning.
Apparently this issue that many are having with screen flickering, will not go away as its a problem with the VA panel technology, something to do with pushing it much faster response time wise, and a firmware update COULD fix it, but a trade off would be the monitor becoming SLOWER than it currently is....
Grain of salt to be taken, but interesting to think about.
I am glad I did not get seduced by the "discount" pricing on offer previously, as I believe they are overpriced anyways, but with these issues being to common, I really CBA with back and forth shipping for replacement monitors, add these issues to all the dead/stuck pixel issues and this launch is just a mess.
This monitor is a hard AVOID/PASS, until black Friday, then and only then, if issues are fixed and pricing is decent, ill consider it.

There's nothing like coming back from a stressful time away to a brand new G7 sitting at your door yesterday. Used it all night and most of the day.
I don't notice any flickering with my unit thank god. No dead pixels to be seen yet. Smooth as butter feels quicker than my previous AW2521HF and has better picture quality than my GL83a and previous GL850.
The contrast ratio is great, blacks have great depth, colours while a little more vivid than I like due to being wide gamut but makes for an immersive experience. After tinkering to taste it made my GL83a feel bland and uninteresting. IPS paneks look bad at night for dark scenes and in general cannot produce dark shades, shadow details well at all so the panel found in the G7 as expected picks up here. Gradients look good, games like Red Dead have convincing shadows, light flickers, shadows from fires, lamps in a night scene look great, blacks, good black detail; no crushing or grey tones. On an IPS screen for example at your camp in Red Dead, night time can feel less immersive, like you have night vision goggles on the low contrast and glow makes things less detailed, clean, this is a problem with all IPS screens; they simply look better in a well lit room with lighter content.
Warzone runs smoothly, no smearing to a high degree, slight black smearing and I meen very slight but motion is clean, a massive feat for a VA screen. I did notice the monitor feels slightly unrefined like a new product that needs a few bugs ironed out nothing dramatic, just things like the OSD feels unrefined compared to my GL83a but the G7 has so much technology packed into this it's a tiny nitpick.
The stand is ugly, will look for an arm but the actual monitor looks lovely, unique. RGB for once actually looks decent, a small feature but better implanted and lights up my wall to give a but of light than normal. The curve on the monitor is cool, I got used to it quicker and I love how immeraive it feels, I thought that of I wanted some breathing space it would look weird further back but if didn't. In terms of panel bleed it's a back-lit monitor so of course it has some but aabout he same as everyone else's posted. Nothing like the uniformity issues of IPS screens.

Got mine yesterday and pretty happy with it.
I do get mad flickering with Gsync & adaptive sync enabled, but it only seems to at low fps. Seeing as my rig is 4 years old now, it's struggling to get above 60 fps. However, turning of Gsync the flicker goes and the monitor is really really nice!
I'm not sure how I feel about the Gsync problem. In one hand I did want a monitor that works with Gsync on the other hand, with it turned off, I don't really notice any tearing or artifacts, the screen is just buttery smooth - I'm not really sure what to expect with Gsync on vs off at such a high refresh rate.
Unfortunately because I am running a 1070 I'm for sure not making the most of the monitor (only 8 bit colour) so a PC upgrade is in the cards now. But overall I'm happy, I got a monitor that runs fast, and looks great (the curve does help with immersion for sure).
