![]() We also measured the brightness in the 'High Bright' Picture Mode before calibration, which has a slightly brighter image at the cost of image accuracy, and the gamma is terrible. We measured it in the 'Custom' Picture Mode after calibration with Brightness at '100' and Local Dimming at its max. Still, it won't be an issue for most people. It gets bright enough to fight glare in most settings, but it's a bit inconsistent across different scenes. The Samsung Odyssey G7 28's SDR peak brightness is good. Samsung released another 4k monitor, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75, that features Mini LED backlighting with a much better local dimming feature. Enabling the Local Dimming adjusts the brightness to the max, even if you set the Brightness setting lower, it doesn't do anything. There's also an 'Auto' option that turns on the local dimming when you enable HDR, and it disables it with SDR. We tested it with the Local Dimming setting at 'On'. In scenes like a star field, it won't turn on the zones if there are only a handful of small highlights, but all the zones light up if there are more bright objects, at which point the contrast looks bad. Even subtitles look terrible because it lights up everything around them. It results in distracting blooming, and it's obvious when highlights transition between the zones. It only has 8 dimming zones, which are large, and the entire zone turns on when there's a small bright highlight. ![]() The Samsung Odyssey G7 28 has a terrible edge-lit local dimming feature.
