Samsung have now released their new “Odyssey” line-up of screens, boasting high 240Hz refresh rates in a range of sizes and with some impressive additional specs. That first venture in to 240Hz VA was also limited to a 1080p panel and it appeared that this technology was not ready for the jump to 240Hz, and may never be. To be honest we were not impressed by the performance as the response times were not nearly fast enough to keep up with the extra frame rate and it was plagued by usual response time limitations on black transitions, resulting in the normal “VA black smearing” problems. We reviewed the first to market in the form of the Samsung C27RG50 back in May 2020. when describing the aesthetics) where we can shamelessly re-use what we said in the 27″ G7 review.įor high refresh rate gaming, VA panels were a little bit later than other technologies when it came to offer 240Hz support. Obviously we will refresh all our tests, results and commentary where necessary but there are some sections that will be the same (e.g.

We will apologise in advance for some text being the same as the 27″ model in places. It will be interesting to see if the performance is comparable. Spec and feature wise this is basically just a larger version of the 27″ model, with the same 2560 x 1440 resolution, the same 240Hz refresh rate and other key features like the 1000R curvature, adaptive-sync and HDR 600. We have with us now the larger, but very similar 32″ (well, technically it’s 31.5″ in size) C32G75T model for review. It marked a turning point for VA panel technology in terms of response times, refresh rate and gaming performance.

In August we took a detailed look at the new 27″ sized Odyssey G7 display from Samsung which impressed us a lot.
