Would not recommend the Neo G7. The two I tried out both had issues and had to be returned. They both had banding noticeable on basic tasks like using notepad. The worst part was the flickering during games. VRR control within the menu mitigates the problem but introduces input lag. I went...

I returned my Neo G7 (both of them actually) due to flickering, poor uniformity, and subpar HDR performance. I also considered the FO48U due to good deals but ended up biting the bullet and going with the 42C2. No regrets, this thing is worth the price of admission imo. It's a really nice size.

My first Neo G7 had the same defect. I returned it and the 2nd one was better. Your average consumer probably wouldn’t notice it. My wife didn’t think anything of it, I actually noticed it when using notepad on a bright white background.

Finally got the C2 42 yesterday. Damn, this thing is beautiful. I like the stand they provided which allows it to sit at the very back of my desk too. Are there any settings you guys would recommend to for sure turn on or off? I'm running it in PC mode right now and looks like it has defaulted...

Back from doing a fair amount of testing the 42" C2 against the Neo G7. I was pleasantly surprised at the stand packed in with the C2. The legs are designed in such a way that you can keep it really far back on your desk, which is important since this is such a large display. I'm not here to...

My firmware is the same as yours, 1002.1. Got the C2 in today surprisingly. Going to try it out this evening.

I'm still getting flickering. Initially thought it was mostly during loading screens but noticing it in-game too. It's subtle but it's distracting. Does the same thing over DP or HDMI. One plus is that HDMI can run full RGB 12 bpc. LG C2 is on the way, eager to compare the two.

Those scanlines are quite apparent on the grass screenshot you provided. I’m not seeing that on the Neo G7 after quite a bit of testing. But I’m still not sure about this monitor. I agree that most games I’ve tried look better in SDR. I do like the size and no risk of burn in, text looks nice...

Thought it was just me. HDR looks worse on mine too. Agree that FH5 does not look great.

Neo G7 is also on sale on Newegg for the same price if you want to avoid the scanlines.

Neo G7 update: Sent my first one back due to poor uniformity and a 2" vertical band on the right side of the display. Received my 2nd panel today from amazon. Much better uniformity on this one, still has the 2" vertical band just like the first one. Though primarily seen during 12.5% grayscale...

Geez something doesn’t look right on that HDR test on YouTube for the G8.

Thanks, I did try that setting with HDR off and it looked oversaturated. I’ll try it with HDR on and see how it looks. Are you leaving HDR on at all times?

Got the Neo G7 in from newegg today. Did a fair amount of testing tonight. Keep in mind my prior panel was the big boy FV43U. I've kept local dimming set to auto which works ok. Good: No scanlines 165 Hz is nice and smooth Blooming is minimal compared to PG32UQX 32" is a lot more tolerable...

My understanding is main difference is refresh rate, the G7 is black vs white on G8 , G7 is glossy screen vs G8 matte. I’m gonna cancel my G8 and try the G7. Will report back.

Anyone else see this? Also seeing some more posts on reddit about the scanlines..

Thanks for your updates. Are you leaning towards returning it? The exaggerated curve and scanlines have me considering cancelling my order. Reminds me of my Samsung CHG70 from 5 years ago that had scanlines. Can’t believe it’s still an issue to this day.

Strongly considering this panel as a replacement for my FV43U which I like but it’s too damn big for most tasks other than gaming. Also the text is blindingly ugly. Anyone else order from Best Buy just for an easy return if you have issues? I could save almost $400 buying from Samsung but hate...

That was my thought as well. Have you read the same thing though? Some people saying enable it via the monitor and not in windows. Not sure what they meant. I've found that in the sdr mode (green) if you go further into the menu you can actually toggle hdr to "on" but it doesn't actually enable...

How are you all enabling HDR? I keep reading that windows still has poor implementation of HDR. I have been simply toggling HDR on or off in windows settings however I've read in several reviews that it's best to enable HDR in the monitor's OSD instead of windows to get the best picture. How is...

So.. just received my 3rd panel. I was initially excited when I saw there was no pressure mark on the upper right corner like my first two had! My excitement quickly faded when I noticed this one has the same cluster of tiny pin-head (red) sized pixels lit up in various areas of the screen. The...

Thanks celwin for recommending I return my 2nd defective unit. I was considering keeping it since the pressure mark on upper right was really faint and almost indiscernible. This prompted me to do some more in-depth testing and I think I figured out how to best assess for a defective unit...

I’m curious are most of you turning fald off for sdr content like the tftcentral review recommends? Or do you just keep it on all the time and if so does it seem to make much of a difference in sdr games? I’ve only been using fald for hdr content to this point.

My first one was indeed from MC and had the pressure spot on upper right. My 2nd one that I still currently have is from Amazon and also has the same spot in upper right but it’s not orange, is easiest seen with fald on, and is impossible to find during actual use. It’s actually easiest to see...

So would the small red dots be considered normal due to the FALD? I could only notice them on mine with HDR on now that I think of it and they didn’t show up in dead pixel tests.

Thanks for letting me know about others on Reddit with the same issue. I noticed Newegg removed the product link entirely. Wonder if they’re getting too many returns or just no plan for a restock anytime soon. Sounds like lots of lemons were shipped out by asus.

Update: returned my first defective panel back to microcenter on Tuesday. Got my 2nd Pg32uqx today from Amazon. This one has a blown LED in the same spot as my last one and it also has a rectangular patch of red pixels in a matrix type pattern. Difficult to find the red pixels but impossible to...

Man.. really sorry to see your panel has the same issues that mine does. How frustrating to say the least. Mine is going back to micro center next week. I ordered another one from Amazon that should be here by Wednesday. If the 2nd one is defective not sure which route I’ll go. I’m assuming...

Hey guys, I’ve been following this thread for months in anticipation of this panel. I’ve enjoyed reading your comments and thoughts. Anyhow, just thought I would add some of my own. I drove 7 hours round trip on Wednesday to the nearest micro center and picked up this display. I finally had...
