How is the motion blur comparison compared to 240hz monitors, how is the colour, brightness etc?
Incredibly high-qualified review! I'm genuinely surprised that you have a subscriber count that small. You definitely deserve more! Thank you for the video, with love from Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿💖
i bought this as my first gaming monitor. I'm a casual gamer, before i've always used normal office monitors with 60hz refresh, 8 ms delay, ecc. I bought Samsung Odyssey G4 at the price of 250$. I think this is the best 25/27'' gaming monitor at this price. Maybe at the same price you can find some monitor in 2K instead of FHD, but they will always have less refresh rate (75-144Hz) and more delay and 5 ms of reponse delay. I also needed a Monitor with 2 HDMI to connect both PC and Nintendo SW, and this monitor was just perfect for its price! (low/medium budget) If you're looking for monster monitors you should probably look for 400$+ This is my opinion :) Thank you @SunCycleMalaysia for sharing yours!
What about minimum brightness? Not too bright? I returned the MSI Optix G2412 monitor due to the fact that the minimum brightness is too bright. To understand MSI G2412 at 0% as LG 24GN600-B at 40% in brightness.
Msi 250 nits Samsung 400 nits A lot brighter than msi ,,😁
Just picked up one of these up for $279 and I think for that price this monitor is undefeated. Amazing quality at such a value and the hz rate is the best! I use this and a 165hz Asus Tuf gaming together now and the Odyssey is my new main!
What picture settings do you use? I've just bought a couple of these having come off a couple old Samsung screens I've had for almost a decade and they just look so different. I feel like I've set them up wrong or something because they seem so dark and over-contrasted? but I can't seem to fix it in settings. Maybe I'm just too close to them, but I can't really help that tbh.
@@Panjaxuse the button at the bottom of the monitor go into setting turn brightness up and put fps mode on
@@dor1049 it’s on sale for 220 shall I buy is it good for fortnite
@@zak30 yeah that’s even cheaper then when I got it
im just gunna get the ASUS 280hz monitoer for 300
this monitor with 1440p would have been perfect!
If my PC doesn’t have a DisplayPort port, would an adaptor reduce quality? (For example, adaptor to USB port)
How is this a review 0 testing xD this was just an announcment lmao
yeah 🤣
Just snagged this for 219 for black friday! SO EXCITED! Thanks for the review!
I’ve been doing so much research on monitors to see what’s the best upgrade from my 60hz monitor and I’m definitely sure now I’m picking this up for Black Friday
@@zabadabadoo Mine arrived just an hour ago! OMG it's great! I can see EVERYTHING in apex legends now!
@@SuperComicAnimationhow is it? I just ordered 1 for 189
@@ChizyVR I love it! Game changing in every way for me. Can see 100x better than I could at 75hz. Best upgrade ive done in ages. Cant believe i didnt buy 240hz earlier. Even on my 6600xt I am wrecking everyone. DId my first 5k dmg Control game in Apex Legends. Usually in first place every game now. That said, my aim was already good, but visually i would die to not seeing people a lot. I think 25 inches is much better at 1080p than my other 27 inch monitor
Best FPS settings this monitor? i have Samsung Odyssey G4 25" 240 hz
I have a Samsung tv do you think the remote might end up turning off the monitor?
We can customise it by Putting rgb led strip inside the round shaped circle behind the monitor and you got a rgb backlit monitor
What is the wallpaper he uses? I like it so much someone please tell me
This monitor supporto vrr variabile refresh rate works on ps5 ?
Does anyone have a problem where when yiu turn on your ps5 or console, you sign in and get on a game and a black screen pop up showing hdmi on the side and turn off. When you load in an app it just randomly pop up.. my English is horrible but can someone please help me .
is it good for office work I want both office + gaming
I will get this today
Will it work on PS4 slim?
What’s the name of the background on the monitor please 🥰
Just got this monitor, but I cant find any color settings for it on yt or reddit. Does anyone know the right color settings for this monitor ? pls help.
For the price it’s great and if you’re going from a tv it’s well worth the price I love mine and with the Xbox series x it looks amazing
Just bought the series X and I have this monitor. Can’t wait! You think I should connect my display port?
@@InfamousAWJ DP is better for video quality
What's the input lag with G-Sync on?
Very good review👍
Does this works on ps5?
W the 25" version literally costs 5 Euros more in Germany than the 27" version, but with it being FHD, I wouldn't recommend getting the 27" if u don't sit like 5 feet away from the screen once u sit to close u can start counting pixels and that just sucks ngl.
This guy deserves more subs
Does it have hdr?
I have the 27" version. And it's pretty good but if you use 240Hz and enable the Freesync Premium, Text on the Desktop goes blurry. You have to step down to 120Hz in the Windows Display Setting to 120Hz to get the text to appear clear again. On another note even though the bezel on the monitor is pretty thin on the side and top there is black bars on both left and right sides and the top. This is by design. And rather disappointing to say the least. It's not a full panel display.
Very strange, I just picked one up and using G Sync on it. Sounds like a bug.
How do you enable freesync premium? Do you just enable freesync normally, and the monitor uses freesync premium automatically? And is the text going blurry at 240hz a real problem? Should I stop myself from buying it because of it. How noticeable is it?
@@felixyoung5100 it's on the monitor menu
Just bought it today and I know what you mean, I reduced to 120 hz and text is better now. Any other recommendations for clear text?
does it rotate counter-clockwise, clockwise, or both for the 90° angle?
Yup
Do I need to add the blue core ring thing at the back, I don't like the blue so I'm wondering if it's optional.
Yes its easy to get rid of
It doesn’t have amd free sync?
wallpaper name?
Can you use Nintendo switch and the Xbox series s plugged in at the same time and if so will the 60HZ of the switch work on it
Yes and yes
@@ca_lcium I got this monitor I is amazing thanks
nice video i just buy it, anybody know how anable g-sync?
haha omg you the best! subbed
The reason esports or competitive players in general dont need more then 24-27 inches is very simple, you will either have to put the monitor further away the bigger it is, or suffer having to move your eyes a longer distance to reach the edges of the screen, and since a bigger monitor close up will lower your focus point for your eyes, its more easy to not see movement or changes closer to the edges, essentialy no point in going bigger just more money, maybe you can argue its better for your eyes to have a 30inch monitor much further away? this i dont know
Correct, i mean its literally a complete myth that staring at a monitor can do damage to your eyes long term. Blue light will only cause temporary eye strain, and most definitely will not cause long term issues. Smaller monitors are better for competitive gaming.
So I have this old BenQ XL2411, would this be a decent upgrade?
I'm in the same boat. Did you upgrade? Worth it?
@@auuuq nah kept the monitor, I’m gonna wait one more year and then upgrade - sorry
I broke mine today😂
Can you hook up a sound bar for sound bc I wanna use this as my tv also
Yes if you have an aux cable
Bro did you notice screen ghosting issue i can see in your screen i also have g4 240hz 27inch monitor .I use DP cable but still in my screen ghosting issue
Yes I saw it on the video and played on 165 hz phone and was still there. With 140 hz, HD, 1 ms, FPS panel this should NOT be the case... Why are we seeing it 😭
@@ValaHough BenQ monitor is best 0 ghosting in 0.5ms
wallpaper link plss
Any idea if this is VESA compatible?
Yes it is
can I have your wallpaper please
you know what they say its not the size of your desk its how you use it.
whats the size of the stand from from to back? looking to buy the 25inch
18 centimetres from the back of the screen screen, the stand is quite large. I have the 25in one.
What are your impressions of this monitor?
Thank
Just loved the sincerity :)))) e.g. If you suck at FPS a eSports monitor will at least make you feel better :))
How is the motion blur without backlight strobing? Does it has any ghosting or strong motion blur? A blur busters test would have been nice.
I have seen in your other comment that you have bought this monitor, can you give some feedback to those questions that you have asked in this comment? Have you experienced any ghosting, motion blur, maybe backlight bleeding? Thanks in advance
@@dandusz2002 It has a low motion blur mode in the overdrive settings, so it handles motion blur pretty well. I dont know how good compared to other Monitors though. It has a bit of ghosting on the highest overdrive setting but on the normal setting it's fine.
@@GandeBonde any idea if this monitor is vesa compatible?

How do you raise and lower the height of the monitor??
Easily done. Just simply drag it up or down with your hands :>
I purchased this monitor, specifically (Samsung - 25" Odyssey G40B FHD IPS 240Hz 1ms G-Sync Gaming Monitor - Black Model: LS25BG402ENXGO) - I use Xbox Series S. I hooked it up last night & the timing on my buttons was much slower. I play NBA 2K & the shooting is based on timing.. So for example if my release timing for the shot was say 1.5 ms it was now almost double & the visual cue didn't match anymore.. Any idea why? I went back to my older Sony TV (4k) and it was back to normal timing. Any insight as to why this may be?
And you are using the same HDMI cable i'm assuming? is it a 1.2 or what? (bump, because I dont want this to happen to me if i get it) let me know if you figure it out please!
@@Quillemine In order to get the full capability with an xbox or ps you need to purchase a HDMI to DisplayPort wire/converter. I am not even sure if this would of fixed the input lag I was experiencing, but I know it would have allowed for 1440p 120hz..
Without the converter it would only allow 1080p with 120hz or 1440 with 60. I decided to just return it all, lol
the Hdmi i was using was 2.1 I believe ultra speed belkin.
@@darenking1508 yo Can u tell the ur color settings and picture pls
Can we adjust a height and rotate the panel
Yes, you may adjust the height, tilt it, swivel it, and pivot it on this monitor
@@suncyclemalaysiaplease tell me what's the wallpaper
For ipad mini
I bought this one im generally pleased with it BUT!!!! its really wobbely, if im typing in my keyboard the monitor is shaking very much.. any advice ?
use VESA mount instead.
Where's the review
Love the outro comment "I still suck at DOTA" ahaha
What happens If I use DP 1.4 version in this monitor

Does this monitor have speakers ?
It has a 3.5mm jack for Speakers
27 inches??? That’s pretty big😨
Speakers?
No😊
Bought 2 at micro center for $150 each. ✊
WTF HOLY STEAL
Bro micro center is crazy, sadly the closest one near me is 3 hours away
@@rattle3849 better then not having micro center at Malaysia 😢.
Does this monitor have inbuilt speakers becoz my windows is showing it in sound section but audio is not working plz help someone to resolve this issue
For your information, this monitor does not have built-in speakers ya.
Windows is showing this option because you need to plug in an audio device into the jack provided behind
is this a review or an advertisement? all you talk about is specs but not actual performance, not even results from testufo.
Does it have headphones input ?
Only Output
How do you guys still manage to do monitor reviews without ghosting/black-smearing tests!? Completely useless video.
u call this a review ? common bruh must be kidding....
Is it better than the asus vg259qm ?
if got the answer to your ques...can you pls share. thanks
Have you run into any problems after a week
I want to ask 2 question 1-I have hp victus laptop the gpu Nvidia 1660 Does this gpu support the 240hz at 1080 or even 2k 2 - Im not playing games but I like the high refresh rate because of the smoothness is this monitor is best option for this price
If you have a GPU such as the 1660Ti on your laptop (there isn't a 1660 mobile variant). IF you ever plan to play games, you are better off getting a 120/144Hz monitor and not this because your GPU will not be able to hit 240fps anyway. If you can't hit 240fps, not point buying 240Hz. Unless in the future you plan to upgrade to a better laptop or desktop that can hit those framerates, then yes this may be for you as it is a future proofing buy. Or if you are looking for one just to experience the smoothness of 240Hz, this is a good buy along with the Ultragear from LG. Remember to buy one with an IPS Panel and not VA or TN. OLED is also a good option but the price are in the thousands for a 240Hz OLED.
What cable is included with the monitor and does it support 240Hz ?
I actually got the monitor yesterday. A HDMI cable is included and it supports 240hz over HDMI.
@@GandeBonde that's awesome, thanks.
@@tazzyreign2629 you will need a display port for gsync if youre a nvidia user
@@GandeBonde is it having inbuilt speakers?
@@BLOODYHACKER alright, got it. Thanks, so it means the included HDMI does support upto 120Hz, and one requires DP 1.4 for 240Hz experience.

hey can someone please help me i am getting this monitor and i have a ps4 slim is it worth it (ik that ps4 will only have a 60fps at maximum) but i want to know would it be a good quality or absolutely bad? should i get the odyssey g3 instead?🫤
