We’ve always been fans of the 32-inch, 16:9 format. These things are more difficult to accomplish on a 34-inch ultra-wide. And you can see the full page in a word processor or 60 rows of a spreadsheet. Documents can be placed center screen with utilities off to the sides. While a 21:9 or 32:9 screen will cover even more of a user’s peripheral vision, the height of a 32-inch monitor really draws you in while providing a more familiar shape for workday tasks. The C32G75T’s extreme curve is a real asset, not only for gaming, but for general use too. Gaming and Hands-on with 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G7 Native contrast is comfortably over 2,000:1, and Samsung includes a local dimming option in the on-screen display (OSD) that selectively modulates part of the edge array to increase contrast. The C32G75T has both of those in its core feature set. If you can’t have a full-array local-dimming (FALD) backlight, which helps make for the best HDR monitors, the next best way to render high contrast and effective HDR is with a VA panel and a dynamic contrast feature. It’s one of the few monitors we could not improve upon with calibration. That by itself is not extreme but the C32G75T’s out of box accuracy certainly is, which we’ll show you shortly. Extended color is included to the tune of 85% DCI-P3 coverage. Color quality is also in the extreme category. The Odyssey G7 tops out at a 240 Hz refresh rate, which makes it equal to many other monitors on paper. There is a tremendous amount of screen area, and the extra height you get over a 34- or 35-inch 21:9 display is significant. At first glance, one might question such a tiny radius with a 16:9 panel but when you see this 32-inch beauty in front of you, it makes perfect sense. The radius is just 1,000mm, which is the most extreme curve we’ve seen to date. The most obvious extreme here is the Odyssey G7’s curvature. And IT managers aren’t going to buy 34-inch ultrawide curved monitors for their office staff. More refresh rate, more resolution, more color, more features, more size - the key word is more. Gamers no longer have to settle for 22 inches and 60 Hz when 27-inch 144 Hz panels are commonplace. We’ve talked about what makes gaming monitors different from rank-and-file enterprise displays. Samsung has truly pulled out all the stops here. Most monitors at the top of the speed charts are 25-inch flat panels, but Samsung’s breaking the mold with the 32-inch G, going for $750-$800 as of writing. The 32" Samsung Odyssey G7, the C32G75T, packs 240 Hz, Adaptive-Sync, DisplayHDR 600 and extended color into a 2K, VA panel with a 1000R curvature, the tightest curve we’ve seen yet. Samsung’s 32-inch Odyssey G7 is all about extremes, and that’s what makes it one of the best gaming monitors.
