In owners' own words

Bought a 32” and its waaaay to big for gaming, had to change it for a 27”.

These things are riddled with issues but this video is just “new and shiny!” praise
@birdwalkinman on YouTube
Still expensive which is not worth it

I am noticing some sort of screen tear occuring. It starts from the top of the screen and ends at the bottom for like 5-10 seconds.
@sh4rpshooterrr228 on YouTube
I've just returned this one for it

The VA/G-Sync flicker is real-- I am returning mine today
@seansean8008 on YouTube
This is a design flaw that Samsung could fix in software if they wanted to...
@szabolcscsepregi2507 on YouTube
MY screen flickers like hell when gaming, just like i have serious packet loss and when surfing and scrolling up and down it is like the top and lower part of the sreen are out of sync.

The motion blur and slow response really was noticeable to me in shooters.

I wish this monitor lived up to the hype, I've had one for a year and it's been nothing but issues.
@Graylord88 on YouTube

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

I had the same monitor, and it did flicker. However it happened only at game menus and not at actual gameplay which didn't bother me at all. But still, there was flickering.

I could probably see The curve being a bit too unnatural on the smaller 27" G7 for everyday use and perhaps gaming, one of the reasons why I opted for a larger panel to make the curve more functional.

It's strange how nobody is talking about the scanlines. I have them but only in the top right corner when looking at certain bright colors.

I have 2 32 inch G7s as my monitors and I don't think they are too big for gaming really
