** NEW SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7/G9 MONITORS 27-49" AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER **

has anyone seen any details of the change log for the firmware updates for the G7 27"? i see v1005 is available to download and install now
 
So been testing gsync on this today having had it off since purchase. I've not noticed any flicker whatsoever and I generally notice stuff like that. Still can't decide whether it's best to have fast sync on or just v sync on in NV control panel, seem to read varying opinions when gsync is enabled. :confused:
 
Hi Guys,

Got my 32 waiting for me when I get back from work at the weekend. Didn't buy with OC due to wait list but have purchased plenty from them in the past.

Have looked at the suggestions from you guys that have one with regard to settings over the last 20 pages or so but wanted to check now that you've had them a bit longer what are your pointers on settings off the bat without firmware update. Will do that in time but want to get home Saturday and get gaming.

Thanks

Firmware update is such a quick thing I recommend getting that done first anyway, it really is easy if you have a usb drive handy. Other than that I personally use the default colour settings, brightness i tweak depending on light in my room, and I'm also not using adaptive sync, or any sync, on this monitor, despite using it on my old one (Though I seem to be almost alone in that, as I'm sure you've seen over the last few pages). I just use 240hz and 'fastest' response time (not MBR). HDR depending on the game, is really nice for a HDR600. Division 2 for example, looks absolutely amazing in my opinion. I only enable HDR in windows sometimes, as some games require that for them to detect the monitor does HDR, but other than that I leave it off. Think thats about it?

Many thanks bud, got a 16GB flash drive at the ready, did you use the Korean firmware or the one off the main site? Cheers for the settings.

Been reading the rtings review and they suggest Faster as the optimal setting. :)
 
Just been in touch with Samsung UK about the G9, Apparently they are still under QC check & the representative was unable to say when they are being released. I saw a few people on Reddit have had their orders cancelled directly from Samsung and given $50 compensation but not sure if this effects UK orders in any way.

Thanks for that Robbo. That has changed from when I spoke to them last week. Going to be a long wait I think.
 
Hmmm. Not sure whether to stick with my G9 preorder or start looking for something else. Don't want to be waiting 2 or 3 months really. What's the best alternative right now?
 
I've bookmarked a X35, PG35VQ and an AOC AG353UCG unfortunately these are a lot more expensive. On the other end of the scale is the LG 38GL950G which is sitting at £1274.99 so similar price to the G9 but I think it will drop lower as its been replaced.
 
I cant seem to find anything else currently. I don't really want to spend more cash and really want an ultra wide 30:9 or 30:10 as its that rather than going triples. There doesn't seem to be too many alternative options around in stock anywhere. Happy to wait for now as only have a 1080 GTX so will need to go for a 3000 series card to run the G9 anyway.
 
Quick further update, running an FB01 version G7 27" with the Korean firmware 1006.0, Nvidia Hotfix Driver 451.85 Hotfix Driver and having used CRU to set my G-Sync Range lower limit to 40Hz.

I ran the game Observer with maximum settings, with my GTx1080, and it rendered at an average of ~55FPS. This is quite low compared to some less demanding games, and pushes it down well into G-Sync territory (I've got my monitor set to 144Hz in Nvidia Control Panel, with 10 bit colour). I had no flicker issue at all! I've gotta say, despite a few initial issues, I'm very happy with this monitor! I'm not sure what the exact difference is between the FB01 and FB02 versions (I don't think anyone knows exactly yet), but I don't feel I have any problems with mine.

I'm visiting a friend tomorrow, who I bought another 27" G7 for at the pre-order price, to do the firmware update for him. I'll report back if we get any problems with his monitor or not!
 
Well, I've bitten the bullet and cancelled my G9 pre-order. The item has taken longer than I expected but my main motivation for cancelling is the way in which OCUK have handled the process. This thread was initially receiving updates from Nik but despite many requests from different people - no further information has been given. It wouldn't have been hard for a staff member to just pop on and say "'we're in touch with Samsung, no further information at present".

I'm going to wait until Samsung actually release a working product (that gets out of QC stage properly) then order from another online store.

Frustrating but c'est la vie.
 
Not sure if this has any bearing whatsoever but it’s back to Get Stock Alert on the Samsung website. Have put an alert in so I know when to call OC to ask them about their delivery.
