Yes, but if Samsung do sell it through their website next week as some have reported in this thread then we should be fairly covered if there are any issues. Anyhow not in a rush!

Its the scalers that control the freesync, Samsung has cheaped out on these. It's effecting most owners of the G7 and G9.
Am on my second one and it's going mental with the flickering. Am about ready to call it quits with samsung, shocking considering there £550.
I am sick of my windows all moving about esp the programs that run off screen in the Notification Area (like when you change RES then Back on CRT or use DSR to game) due to the monitor being disconnected/connected (Windows Ding) 90% of the times as a new device when it is powered on after being off (G Sync pops up asking to be set up).
The power options in the menu are buggy and most times do not even work.

I installed 1006 which didn't fix the freesync flicker, Tried CRU as well with no luck. Not sure I wanna send this back and get a third replacement only for it to do it again. Very very tempted to send for a refund but honestly nothing comes close to this display annoyingly

Got the 27 in yesterday, seems to be good as gold so far but will see how it goes. I am on a gtx 970 though so capped at 144hz.
I've had the 32" inch G7 for a couple of weeks now (FB02 model) and updated it to the latest Korean site firmware.
No problems that I can see with dead pixels etc. but I do still seem to get the odd flicker in wow classic (nothing major but it happens now and then).
I've not noticed in other games yet but need to try some more, as wow classic isn't exactly pushing the system it can hit very high refresh rates constantly so I wouldn't expect flicking there, but maybe it's just an issue with that game - it doesn't happen a lot and it's not severe, yet I wouldn't expect it at all other than during loading in when frames may naturally drop.
One question on display port cables for this:
I need to buy a slightly longer cable due to wanting to move to a desk mount instead, but all the display port cables I see only seem to be advertised at a max of 165hz at 2k, when DP 1.4 is supposed to be able to do 240hz at 2k.
Did manage to find one but it was a USB C / dp connection, rather than dp to dp type; not sure why this is so hard to find unless I'm missing something obvious here- any ideas?

As a previous owner of I think 3-4 CRG9s (can't remember how many I went through now), I would definitely wait on the G9 to see users experiences with:
1. Dead pixels + Stuck pixels
2. Flickering with adapative sync on
3. HDR performance
4. Blooming and panel uniformity.
5. Cracking noises from the chassis / spark noises
6. Weird smells from the display.
They were big big issues and I thought the users who cried about it were unlucky but Samsung's QA is indeed very off.

The G9 is not g-sync compatible yet say nvidia? But will be in the next drivers, so they say in reply to my support question
How can Samsung put a G-sync sticker on the front when clearly they are NOT yet compatible?
Did the 451.85 hotfix drivers make g-sync work on the G7 do we know, nvidia seem to think it does?

I have an nvidia GPU too and get zero tearing. Try the settings above, vsync on in NV control panel.
Oh right, generally regarded as the best setting from what I've read. Can't say I've noticed any lag or certainly hasn't affected it enough for me to notice.
For me I stick To G-Sync as do not need MBR or ULMB (the later made the picture dark no sure if that has changed or if MBR does the same).
I think Asus in recent years have since gotten G-Sync and ULMB to work at same time.
Some here are arguing about it (one of first results I seen in Google).

I too havent felt the need for Gsync on the G7 (did on my old 144hz monitor). I also dont use vsync though, just 240hz and fastest response time (not MBR). I do play competitive games a fair bit and haven't had any tearing thats big enough to notice, so havent felt the need for Gsync.
