Samsung has announced its first flat Mini-LED monitor, the Odyssey Neo G7 (model name: G70NC). The latest addition to the Odyssey lineup brings gamers a larger screen and better picture quality with its “comprehensive range of vision and detail.”
The monitor is equipped with a 43” screen with 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) and has VESA Display HDR600. It also comes with HDR 10+ certification for “high-end picture quality that showcases today’s best graphics.” The gaming monitor uses Quantum Mini LEDs to feature Samsung’s Quantum Matrix technology.

Samsung added that the monitor can be connected to gaming consoles via Wi-Fi or HDMI connection. He wrote:
“Odyssey Neo G7 is the perfect monitor for any gaming platform—connect it to a consumer gaming rig using a DisplayPort or HDMI connection or switch to HDMI 2.1 to play on your latest game console. Another option This is to play mobile games on a large 43-inch screen via built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or simply connect a controller to enjoy games in the cloud without a console.
Odyssey Neo G7 has 144Hz and 1ms (MPRT) response time refresh rate for smoother and more accurate mouse movements. The monitor also comes with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support to prevent issues like input lag and screen tearing. And since it’s FreeSync Premium Pro, it will have HDR support as well as Low Framerate Compensation (LFC). Moreover, individuals can choose to adjust the monitor according to their preference with the FlexMove screen feature. They can adjust the screen size between 20 to 43 inches and change the screen position and aspect ratio.
Users can also use the Samsung Game Bar, which displays important settings without the need to exit the game screen. Thus they can change FPS (frames per second), aspect ratio, high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh rate (VRR) or adjust settings such as screen ratio, response time and game Picture Mode.”
Additionally, the monitor is equipped with features such as Samsung Gaming Hub And Samsung Smart Hub. Samsung Gaming Hub is a “game streaming discovery platform” that gives users access to games from partners like Xbox without storage space requirements and downloads. While, the Samsung Smart Hub gives users a “smart TV experience” on the Odyssey Neo G7, as it brings apps from partners like Netflix and Prime Video for content over an internet connection.
The Odyssey Neo G7 will be available globally beginning Q1 2023, though launch schedules may vary between regions.
