Local dimming is such a bad feature imo. It's cool but I hate how dependent it is on the scene.

I haven't had time to really use my screen but other than that it seems great. The colors really pop. Need to play a game on it.
Huh interesting

The Samsung Odyssey G7 28 has a terrible edge-lit local dimming feature. It only has 8 dimming zones, which are large, and the entire zone turns on when there's a small bright highlight.

As this is an HDMI 2.1 monitor, we also checked to see the compatibility with the Xbox Series X, and the PS5. Everything works as expected on the Xbox, but it's limited to 4k @ 60Hz content from the PS5. Our monitor is on firmware 1002.0, which seems to have this issue, and we read reports that firmware 1004.0 fixes it so you can play 4k games up to 120 fps from the PS5. However, we couldn't update our unit because we found the 1004.0 update on the Samsung UK website, and the UK model has a different model code than our American version. If you bought in the US and you updated the firmware, let us know.
