If you prefer a super-dense pixel layout for desktop work, the 27-inch 1440p version may be more your speed at $650. In fact, On some shades of color, I find you can even see the space in between the pixels, causing a faint screen door effect – something I’ve noticed on other Samsung monitors, though it’s not as bad on the Odyssey G7.
#SAMSUNG GALAXY HALO REDDIT 1080P#
The 2560x1440 resolution offers a nice boost over the typical 1080p resolution of monitors this fast, though at 32 inches, it’s not very sharp. (It quotes response time at 1ms GtG, but this is largely meaningless, as manufacturers tend to fudge these numbers with a host of misleading techniques). It’s DisplayHDR 600 capable, which is actually decent as far as monitors go, and has a maximum frame rate of 240Hz for crazy smooth motion.
The VA panel combines deep blacks with vivid colors, especially with the addition of Samsung’s quantum dot tech. But that’s okay, because this thing has pretty beastly specs. All this is to say: the Odyssey G7 is not a svelte, minimalist monitor. Whether you enjoy a curve that deep is personal preference – I’m not aware of anyone that wanted more curve, with most people preferring little to no curve – but it’s there. It also has one of the deepest curves we’ve ever seen in a monitor at 1000R, which Samsung says matches the curvature of the human eye. Instead, you’ll have to find a place to put the huge brick in the middle of the power cable. Part of this is due to the monitor’s size and weight: this sucker is 14.3 pounds with the stand, and it doesn’t even have the power supply built into the monitor. The Odyssey G7 looks good, though the stand is very deep, so make sure you have enough room on your desk – the 32” model requires about a foot of space from the edge. It doesn’t have as many color options as typical RGB gear, and it won’t sync with the lights in your PC, but it has enough available colors that you can probably get it to match, with a few cool effects for that extra bit of flair (like breathing or rainbow). Unlike other Samsung monitors, it also has a bit of lighting along the bottom bezel, giving it just a bit more of a gamer aesthetic. Its bezel is nearly frameless, with just a bit of plastic protruding out from the panel, and its two-legged stand boasts height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, with LED lighting at the pivot point. I know Forthencho says the Gravemind told him it consumed 10,000 planets and brought galaxies to an end, but that seems sorta like an exaggeration, or it’s possible it was just a lie he was told since we know the Gravemind is a dirty liar.Design and FeaturesIf you’ve seen any of Samsung’s monitors from the past few years, the Odyssey G7 will look familiar. So it might just all be part of his pla to hang out in the galaxy and go dormant sometimes while it waits to test humanity. So he’s not worried, and the flood evidently survived anyway so he was clearly right not to be worried. If I remember correctly he basically says going dormant is normal and all it’s doing is adding some more time.
And even at the end of Halo 3 when it seems like we’re about to win, the Gravemind seems pretty cool about it. Making the forerunners wipe themselves out was sort of the ultimate payback and the flood obviously survived in the end. Firing the Halos seemed like it worked out pretty well for the flood really. If we think the flood were really just trying to punish the forerunners and test humanity then there’d be no need to send ships anywhere else. If there were other species comparable in intelligence to the forerunners or precursors though then there’s a good chance they wouldn’t succeed in at least some of those galaxies assuming those species addressed the threat quickly, but it’d be a good fall back and serve their purposes. If we think their main goal is really just to absorb as much bio matter as possible and turn everything into one big flood form, then it would’ve been foolish of them not to send spores outside the galaxy to take over other galaxies. I think it depends on how we want to view the flood.
