Samsung 2020 - G7 & G9 1000R Monitors

[Mr Latte]

It seems a long way since CES 2020 in Jan when these were first announced and shown.
G7 as of writing appears to be available to order and G9 is to ship from mid-July.

I am currently building a cockpit to incorporate the 49" model, but have had mixed thoughts on going with this incredible looking 1000R display or the new CX OLED 48" TV.

In fairness, I have been swaying towards this 49" Super Ultrawide format with it suiting sim racing and good with multi-tasking and no borders or hassle with multi-screens.

I personally intend to wait however to later in the year as a few months after release we can usually see from previous versions they drop a couple of hundred quid @ £1100 to about £1000.

Last year's model was well-received by owners so it should be a superb display with the new improvements it brings. 1000R with apparently faster response and official Nvidia Gsync seems to be the more interesting factors.

Will be interesting to see upcoming reviews on these rather exciting looking displays. I wonder too if some would consider triple G7 monitors?

If interested feel free to discuss or share your own thoughts and user opinions if you buy.

Yes, looked at it and didn't see any evidence of a spring in the pics, diagram or description. So no advantage for $250 over my £13 cantilever TV mount. A waste of money in my view.

An ENGLISH review of the G7 27"
Reports coming in are positive, they also working well with 1080p based resolutions.

Triple 27" or 32" with this 1000R and superb viewing angles could be a sweet setup.

Shhhhhhh (mute if necessary)

Quite detailed in what it shows at least

Backlight Bleed and limited zones still seem to be the main limitations of the display.

Was that Gran Turismo he was using for demo or FM7?

 

[Mr Latte]

Is it not the new GRID?

GTA5...

GTA5...

Brands Hatch?

Brands Hatch?

Grand Theft Auto 5....

Grand Theft Auto 5....

I know what GTA5 stands for (come on ), but I don't think it has Brands Hatch (although may be there is a mod), but it's definitely not GTA5 quality.
Perhaps as @Mr Latte suggested, it's Grid 2019, HUD looks very close.

Sorry, another goofy moment. Guilty as charged.

So this guy (whoever he is)
Offers an English speaking preview on the 32" model.

The 49" preview/review is coming later.

Linus, a bit overly dramatic at times, but has a pretty good rep for his website work. A quick review, but hits the important points.

Describing the G7/32"...
"It has a 1000R curvature..." "Wow, that is really curved." ... (That's what she said, it's the Peyronie's look). All seriousness aside...

Seems that, as he said, Samsung, though late to the high-end gaming monitor part of the market, has a product that can compete w/ anything out there now. As I said previously though, I just wish the G7 was 34 or 35" rather than a 32". The LG I'm considering is a 34".

 

[Deleted member 197115]

The LG I'm considering is a 34".

Come on, not 38", I thought we were gonna be 38" buddies?

 

[5-Card-Major]

I know, and I do lust after that 38"...

BUT, I have have one of those, what do you call them?, ah, a WIFE... and she'll kick my butt.

I'm thinking the 34" she may not even notice the difference from my current 27". (often, she's oblivious to my computer addiction). But, the 38"... man, that will be like the proverbial elephant in the room. It's huge. (but I want it.... )

You bought that LG?

On my list for August, but this is for desk gaming setup, not sim rig, screens are a waste for sim racing.

Sorry, I'm not getting what you mean...

 

[Mr Latte]

The first video I have seen cover 1800R Vs 1000R

Even the best screen can't replicated racing experience in virtual reality. For me there is just no way back. So 38" is just for shooters and whatever other stuff I do on my PC.
