Hi all,
 
Looking for some recommendations or a new Monitor, I know I can google but everyone has an opinion and I'd like to know what people think here maybe some hidden gems!
My current is Samsung G5 Odyssey G55T (Having issues so going to repair and sell or bin) I've had a G7 Before and liked it but back knob issues (luckily the monitor) and Scan Lines I get a Samsung discount but not overly fussed on the brand.
 
I work at home so spend a lot of hours gaming and watching YT so needs to be decent enough for that now the requirements!
 
  • 1440p
  • 27" (open to 32")
  • Curved (Flat feels weird now)
  • HDR or none HDR I won't use it Windows does a terrible job and most monitors never work with it well.
  • Good Black levels as I hate banding on black levels.
  • Budget: Since I can get a G7 for £350 my thinking is that usually £449 so around the 300-400 mark is good. I don't mind more and just keep an eye on pricing.
  • I'm sure someone will say they are selling but I'd like to go new or open box/refurb something with a warranty with my monitor luck.
I think that's it, I have a 1660 Super so going 4k isn't going to be doable.
 
So far I'm thinking to try the G7 again for local dimming (ish) or the NZXT 32Q looks funky.
 
So fire away, all advice and recommendation are appreciated!

 

 

Ow okay then....

G7 local dimming is very bad as it use edge. Edge local dimming is better than without it. 

 

The G7 Neo wise has excellent local dimming with 1000+ dimming zones, but your GPU is unsuitable for 4K gaming.
