SDR brightness is mediocre, topping out at just 313 nits. This should still be fine for most use cases, but those in really bright environments may not find that to be enough. Minimum brightness is good though, sufficient for use in dark environments. Down at 60Hz, the inverse ghosting rate is at 32% which is around the level you will notice some inverse ghosting artifacts in practice. However based on my observations any inverse ghost trails are faint and hard to notice while gaming, which is reflected in a cumulative deviation value that isn't too high compared to what some high-overshoot monitors may have. Compared this monitor's SDR Brightness to that of the recently-reviewed Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70, which gets brighter.
Surround yourself in every scene. With core lighting, add personality to your setup with multiple color modes that leap off the screen and into your reality. Gaming escapes beyond the screen with CoreSync technology that matches your game's on-screen colors for world-blending immersion.Cumulative deviation is right in line with the M28U and VG28UQL1A, only a couple of units separate these monitors, which is to be expected as the overdrive settings and panel are all very similar. This gives us a mid-tier modern IPS experience which is exactly what you want from this technology today, and the only way Samsung could have improved performance further would be through variable overdrive.
We also measured the brightness in the 'High Bright' Picture Mode before calibration, which has a slightly brighter image at the cost of image accuracy, and the gamma is terrible. You can see the results below: Hyper action made seamless. G-Sync compatibility keeps the GPU and panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen-lag, and image tears. Fast-action and complex game scenes are stable and stutter-free with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for your competitive edge.As always our full calibration results after using Portrait Display's Calman software are very good, especially for sRGB where there are no lingering issues. The only main problems were for the P3 color space, the S28 can't fully cover the P3 gamut, so performance at the top end is still off where it should be. This limits the versatility of the display as a monitor for creators using P3, but it's still fine for content consumption. The panel and overall experience is nicely optimized for gaming and there's no area I can point to that significantly harms this experience. Adaptive sync works, the resolution is great and this sort of display is highly specced, so it should last for a while. When compared to other monitors showing their best performance at their highest refresh rate, the G7 S28 performs as expected. It's slightly slower than the two other display's we've tested to use the same Innolux panel, the Gigabyte M28U and the Asus VG28UQL1A, but it also has lower overshoot than those displays. Surround yourself in every scene. With core lighting, add personality to your setup with multiple colour modes that leap off the screen and into your reality. Gaming escapes beyond the screen with CoreSync technology that matches your game's on-screen colours for world-blending immersion. The design for the Odyssey G7 S28 model is similar to the original Odyssey G7, except refined in several ways. Obviously this monitor isn't curved, unlike the 1440p 240Hz variants, and that's a huge improvement in our book since we weren't huge fans of the 1000R curve for this format of display.
You can adjust the overdrive when the FreeSync option is disabled in the OSD, but I don't think any of those settings are relevant.Looking at response times, the Odyssey G7 S28 is similar to other Odyssey monitors in that you cannot adjust the overdrive settings when adaptive sync is enabled. The vast majority of buyers will be using adaptive sync with this display when hooked up to a PC, so we're only going to test this mode.
