There are consistently fast and reliable response times across the whole refresh rate range, along with low levels of overshoot.

Ultrawide Game View: Simulates a 21:9 aspect ratio for ultrawide gaming; you'll see black bars on the top and bottom. Their condition is so perfect that you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from brand new ones. If they are not then this can lead to some additional smearing and blurring on moving content as the pixels can’t keep up.com Services and marketing information, new product and service announcements as well as special offers, events and newsletters. There was none of the obvious dark smearing you see normally from VA panels which was very pleasing and very little overshoot appearing at all here.

sRGB is the most commonly used colour space so it is important to have a decent coverage from the screen here. First observation is that like the 27″ G7 model the response times are excellent for a VA technology panel!If you are coming from a 1080p screen then the resolution size takes some getting used to over a few days as there really is a lot of room to work with but once you do, it’s excellent.

It's so fast, that action begins instantly when you turn on the screen, with virtually no delay between your peripherals and the game. If you would like to get early access to future reviews please consider becoming a TFT Central supporter.

However, we didn’t really feel this mode offered any benefit over just normal use (with MBR off), and the image didn’t look any sharper or clearer. While it's a better choice than some more expensive models, you can still find the Gigabyte M32U for less, and it has more productivity features that make it versatile, like a USB-C input and KVM switch. Aspect Ratio Control – the screen offers a wide range of aspect ratio controls including Auto (probably the most useful), wide, and a range of different screen size and aspect ratio simulations such as 17″ (4:3) and 19″ (16:10) for example.

Despite being a gamer-orientated screen, it was good to see a focus from Samsung here on reliable and accurate setup, as opposed to some gaming screens which have a large gamma deviance and seemingly very little focus on accuracy. We also changed to Mode2 gamma which we know out of the box had delivered a slightly better gamma curve. The Samsung Odyssey G70B is completely flicker-free with the local dimming disabled, which helps reduce eye strain.Fast-action and complex game scenes are stable and stutter-free with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for your competitive edge. We left the LaCie software to calibrate to “max” brightness which would just retain the luminance of whatever brightness we’d set the screen to, and would not in any way try and alter the luminance at the graphics card level, which can reduce contrast ratio. The incredibly-low 2ms input lag brings never-before-experienced response accuracy to catch notoriously-agile enemies. The Samsung Odyssey G70B has a mediocre contrast ratio, making blacks look gray next to bright objects. It is smooth and quite easy to move here, but we’d question whether anyone would ever really want to use it.
