Sadly the Odyssey G7 43" has poor response times
I know and still I posted the above offer because people would still want to get a monitor that they don't want to be paranoid about.
Pardon me for going off-topic. I appreciate that you quote HUB videos and tirelessly help people with recommendations. But one thing to be cautious about is that reviews like these don't cover every use case.
Samsung VA panels at 43-50 always had poor gtg response times. It can be compensated somewhat with adjusting the black stabilizer to slightly higher setting which brings down the contrast from ~4000 to ~2500 and using the monitor at higher brightness than usual ( as the panels heats up, you'll notice the response time getting better).
Previously HUB also featured FV43U and recorded poor response times whereas rtings measured better response times because they used higher brightness than usual. Given that's a 1000nit panel and people won't be comfortable viewing half of that brightness, yet it showed how everything can't be covered by a reviewer with the limited testing time given to them.
Coming to oleds, I'm all in for these and if someone wants to get this particular Samsung monitor I posted it with the best possible online price.
For anyone looking at the cons let me list a few I know for Odyssey G7 43:
-BGR sub-pixel layout (can be fixed somewhat with cleartype and better cleartype tuner)
-Poor gtg response times (physical limitation of VA, can be mitigated somewhat)
-Slow Tizen (This I hate, but if you don't use too many ott than it won't hinder you)
-Wobbly stand
-Blooming due to low dimming zones
-Not good viewing angles with gamma shifting while looking from side (Samsung only implements their ultra viewing angle with 55inch and above)
-Prone to smearing as with VA
For Pros-
-Big screen real estate (4x 21.5inch)
-Work double time as Smart TV
-Good brightness for HDR
-Tighter local dimming than other at the price
-No fear of burn-in
-Good Contrast
