Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32Bg70 Review

The Samsung Odyssey G70B has low input lag for a responsive feel at high refresh rates. While the input lag increases with 60Hz signals, it's still low enough for casual gaming, but you'll notice a delay with BFI enabled. For the lowest input lag, you need to make sure you have the input label set to 'PC' and you're in Game Mode. With these settings with VRR disabled, you can only send a fixed 144Hz refresh rate, so we had to use a workaround to measure the input lag at 120Hz and 60Hz while still in Game Mode with the 'PC' input and VRR disabled.

The input lag changes depending on the settings you use, and you can see the different results below. Additionally, if you disable Game Mode, you can't send a 144Hz signal.

Game Mode Off - PC Mode On

  • 144Hz: N/A
  • 120Hz: 30.2 ms
  • 60Hz: 55.4 ms
  • BFI: 70.4 ms

Game Mode On - PC Mode On - Refresh Rate 144Hz

  • VRR Control On: 43.6 ms
  • VRR Control Off: 7.6 ms

If you want a monitor that has a consistently low input lag at any refresh rate without any issues, check out the LG 32GR93U-B.
