With the local dimming disabled, the flicker starts with the brightness set to '10' or lower, and the flicker is high enough that you won't notice it. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 has a flicker-free backlight with the brightness at higher levels, which helps reduce eye strain. There isn't any difference with the local dimming performance with VRR on or off as long as it's near the set refresh rate, but there's flicker when the frame rate drops too low (see Variable Refresh Rate section for more).įor reference, we also filmed the real content videos like we do with TVs from straight on and from the side. The overall uniformity is also remarkable, especially for an LED-backlit display. The algorithm keeps up with fast-moving content well, and it's better than the local dimming on most monitors, but there's some blur trail behind fast-moving objects with it on 'High'.

Also, the local dimming enables the Dynamic Brightness setting, which can be distracting as minimizing and maximizing windows in the desktop causes a change in brightness. Sadly, there's black crush in darker scenes, causing you to lose fine details. There's some blooming around subtitles too, but it's still better than most monitors. The blooming isn't always present, but it can be visible in some scenes, like moving the mouse against a dark background or around players in FIFA. There's blooming that's more noticeable if you're viewing the screen from the sides, but it isn't as bad from the front. With Local Dimming on 'High', HDR content looks great because small highlights pop against dark backgrounds, but it struggles to make larger highlights pop in bright scenes. It has a 46x26 array with 1,196 zones, which is incredibly high for a 32-inch display. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 has a decent Mini LED local dimming feature.
