Make it flat, fix the issues, then it may be worth buying or recommending. well hello curving destruction of otherwise good panel. Strobing, as bad as ever due to no user control being allowed to fix the awful strobing calibration. saw that one coming, so here we go, once again they use a raised black level to try and improve the out of blacks performance, negating the one advantage that VA has over IPS and that is a low black level. which in most cases is postprocessing = add banding.Ģ000:1 contrast. Black equalizer postprocessing to the rescue then. Someone forgot when calibrating that gamma 2.2 standard doesn't mean 2.2 fixed at all levels but that it is a specific curve. I want to see a report sheet from the calibration tool for a specific unit before I click "buy/add to cart/pay" for that specific unit. Even the older VA were a power hog radiating heat that I could notice but this? This seems excessive.Ĭalibration report from Samsung inside monitor OSD, yeah, seen that, and I've had 5 units of which two were look alikes and others were at times so far off any possible calibration with ugly yellow tint and so on that my faith in factory calibration of a consumer/home/office oriented monitor is absolute zero. Will one notice it, maybe, maybe not in typical usage at this refresh rate. They should have added another point in their OD LUT for 200 Hz, as I bet it's probably set for 144 and 240 only or some such and at 200 it's a bit too much. 200 Hz, I would call that unusable due to over/undershoot error, that's some nasty error.ġ65, 144, 120, those look great. Well here we go with the overdrive again. Not suitable for gaming came from the endless black smearing until now, hopefully until now. But lets call that finally acceptable since the rest of the responses is really decently fast and the blacks are no longer a 24 Hz cinematic smear fest.ĭunno where HU gets that VA are slow in general, well they are in out of blacks but elsewhere are on par if not better than IPS when done right. And that's with a decent amount of over/undershoot error. So from response time graphs it looks like a 60 Hz VA now, can do 14.59 ms which is a little under 16.66ms of a 60 Hz. If it was 80 USD and could be bent flat DIY, then I might bother. On the other hand, no one should buy this curved monstrosity. ![]() No overdrive control what so ever in the only mode worth using, that's Adaptive sync enabled.Ĭongratulations Samsung for finally delivering a VA with overdrive tuning that doesn't suck for out of blacks transitions as the previous several generations of VA monitors have while VA TVs already had considerably better OD. The viewing angles, still not a fan of VA in that department. Otherwise the frame and stand looks fine, it's not a terrible aesthetic. The sides again look 10 cm from each edge flat as a pancake. I don't like the curve from the video already, it again looks badly curved, it's not a cylindrical curve, there are parts that are curved and parts that are flat, same as was a problem on the Samsung HG70. pass when the same sized monitor in IPS costs 200 USD.Ģ7" for 700 USD.
