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

[Colin Bailey]

My G9 preorder from the 6th of June has been despatched, due for delivery tomorrow.
I’m equal parts very excited and very apprehensive.

Was it ordered from here? I ask as I wonder if stock is finally arriving. I have an order from June 16.

Yes it was.

Another retailer just got 5 stock in and there are 12 people buying it apparently

And to think he was happy with "2 dead pixels" on his £1k ish monitor.

I think its a total lottery what actually arrives at your front door, I've still kept my order but will wait on a few more opinions from others who share findings.

Well looks like I was quick enough there!

Now to hope there are no issues or dead pixels. For the price it is there had better be none or it will be going back!

where was this?

Yes I'm interested too. I have a pre order from JB's house for months and despite Jazzy Jeff's ultra deep pockets, they don't look like they have the power to stock any :O

theres a post on reddit about it. If you search something like UK G9 it should appear

It's a EXE with Windows drivers for monitor, if you want just search for Odyssey G7 drivers page on Samsung website at home..
It had changed model for my monitor in Device Manager's properties from Generic PnP Monitor to G7's code name and enabled 240Hz refresh rate when I was looking at settings for it..

LOL, so this worked, changed my monitor name in device manager from Generic PnP monitor to the G7......until I restarted, now its a generic PnP monitor again.

I love this monitor, but these problems are making me want to return it. Silly little things like the resolution, the screen taking AGES to even turn on when I turn my PC on.....

Hi,

Can someone help me?

How do I change the FPS range from default to 40-240FPS?

Also is it the FPS range that I am changing or is it the Hz range?

 

[JohnG7]

Basically the same thing on the actual screen.

I posted in this thread how to do it from someones post on reddit, you use CRU.

 

[Battle90]

Do you know what page it is on?
Also what is CRU? Sorry I’m new to all of this and I’m still learning as I go along

"Kusel1: you can edit the freesync range with CRU on the 27 inch g7 from 40-240 hz
but you need to change the V rate and the H rate togheter or your nvidia driver will crash
also the Extentsion Block

after that you will have a freesync range of 40-240 hz and a smooth flicker free nvidia pendelum test"

I’ve noticed on Nvidia Control panel that it doesn’t recognise my monitor as G Sync Compatible and also whenever I change my colour settings from 8 bit to 10 bit, once I restart the PC, it goes back on 8 bit again. Anyone else have these issues?

 

[JohnG7]

Not sure why some get that as mines has always been seen as G-Sync Comp even out the box on 1002 or 1003 FW and before the recent driver and previously the hotfix driver.

What build is yours, mine sin FB02 which AFAIK is May 2020 (rear sticker near barcode)?

 

[Battle90]

Mines an FB02

 

[Battle90]

Also the CRU links that you sent to me for changing the range limits, it applies to both 27” and 32” doesn’t it? As I have the 32”

 

[JohnG7]

I see no difference apart from size and Nvidia driver needing to identify it by full model name probably the reason for officially support being different driver builds for 27" and 32"
