    Hopefully there will be a g7 sale…g5 is decent but it is really more of a 400ish budget 2k 144hz monitor.

    • itscyanide on 23/03/2021 - 20:23

      There were both 27" and 32" G7s to be had at a decent discount during the eBay/Afterpay sale this past weekend, even with the discount though I just couldn't justify pulling the trigger given how many issues those monitors appear still to be having, despite numerous firmware updates. It's a real shame because they seem so damn good otherwise…

      I share your lack of enthusiasm about the G5s, no idea why you'd be downvoted for stating the obvious like that - they're a budget monitor by all measures, certainly nothing groundbreaking.

      • jasswolf on 23/03/2021 - 21:20

        There's been deals for the G7 at $500 USD and £400-£420 in other regions, which works out to $660 - $700 AUD with GST.

        Historically, the G7's predecessor, the CHG70, had deals on the 27" model between $480 and $600 in its product cycle and started at an MSRP of $999.

        We're overdue.

        Please don't call it eBay/Afterpay sale.

        It is more eBay/Afterpay debt recruitment drive.

        • Xastros on 24/03/2021 - 15:36

          What do you mean? From what I gather it's the seller that pays the costs rather than the purchaser? Purchaser just pays the actual list price over a period of time.

            @Xastros: "Purchaser just pays the actual list price over a period of time"

            Which is exactly what I meant an eBay/Afterpay debt recruitment drive.

            1 in 5 people miss a payment to buy now pay later providers.

            https://download.asic.gov.au/media/5852803/rep672-published-…

            https://moneysmart.gov.au/other-ways-to-borrow/buy-now-pay-l…

            Those missed payments equal fees and interest rate charges. Actual interest on the cards end up being more than a normal credit card and less than a pay day lender.

            Anything incentivising obtaining credit for a cheaper product is highly dubious.

            Sure if you have the means, but those who do not have the means to pay are the ones who get trapped in these types of debt cycles.

            • Xastros on 24/03/2021 - 16:59

              @bigmicka: I'm not going to get into whether the lenders are predatory or consumers should take responsibility for their own finances. I'm just saying from a pure price point of view it is a 'sale'. IF you could afford the purchase up front and it is cheaper through afterpay then you still save money.

          • itscyanide on 24/03/2021 - 16:17

            @Xastros: That's true for the most part - so long as a buyer keeps up with the required payments, Afterpay pockets only the merchant fees from the seller.

            It seems these merchant fees account for the bulk of their revenue, there's a decent summary here explaining how it works.

            But they also make a decent amount off of late fees, and because they're a credit provider but not in the traditional sense, they're not subject to the same level of scrutiny as say a bank providing a credit card, and more risk falls on the consumer.

            In case anyone feels inclined to point out that "the consumer should know better!! their own fault if they can't afford it!!", OK sure I'll grant that, but that in no way exonerates a predatory business model.

            • Xastros on 24/03/2021 - 16:57

              @itscyanide: I'm just thinking from my point of view as a consumer, if I could afford to pay the up front price for the monitor then paying via Afterpay would still be considered a 'sale' because it is cheaper and obviously if I can afford up front I can also afford to pay over a period of time.

              • itscyanide on 24/03/2021 - 20:14

                @Xastros: Of course, no disagreement on that point. bigmicka and I were simply answering your question, and we both acknowledged that if one makes all the payments on time then there's no extra cost to the buyer.

        I paid 1k for my G7 and would so do again ….great monitor

      • Ruddaga on 24/03/2021 - 08:56

        I got the G7 for 700.00 in the afterpay sale. Was holding out for the HDMI 2.1 monitors, but couldn't resist on such a good deal.

    Worth adding that they're 1000R as well - not everyone wants a monitor with such a pronounced curve IMHO

    • jasswolf on 23/03/2021 - 21:21

      Flat models are on the way, which is partly why you're seeing this discount.

    • phabez on 24/03/2021 - 16:41

      32" G7 owner here - 1000r isn't as bad as it sounds, and the marketing material for the monitors makes it look more extreme than it really is I think.

    Heads up the g5 doesn't have HAS. Was tempted to pull the trigger on this and willing to ignore the absence of USB C but no HAS meant a nono for me.

    • DeluxeBull on 23/03/2021 - 21:58

    Can someone clarify that you won’t get 240 FPS on this monitor so it’s not great for gaming?

    • DanielP2 on 23/03/2021 - 23:52
      +7

      240hz is a total joke these days. If your monitor cant do 360Hz its pretty much game over for gaming.

      • Zorlin on 24/03/2021 - 00:17

        500Hz or bust

          A measly 500Hz?? Pffffft, real gamers are hanging out for the MHz monitors…

  • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2021 - 22:51

    If only the Afterpay sales are still active, anyone considering this G5 should have pulled the trigger on the Dell 2721DGF instead…

    Here’s a review of the G5 versus the 2721DGF…

      This is budget VA, the other is budget nano-IPS. Both have issues inherent to the technology: VA has slow transition from off (black) to near black, creating dark smearing. IPS has slow return to off (black) and leaks light even in the off position, which results in powdered-looking trailing effects.

      Aside from the Samsung G7 and 120Hz OLED TVs, TN is still far and away the best for motion clarity at 144Hz, let alone 240Hz. IPS has colour consistency going for it, and that's it, unless you want to buy a 240Hz IPS for 144-180Hz usage, or a 360 Hz IPS for 240Hz usage.

      • botchie on 24/03/2021 - 08:04

        TN panels are ass

        • jasswolf on 24/03/2021 - 09:09
          +1

          Every tech has shoddy panel makes and model implementations.

        • itscyanide on 24/03/2021 - 09:15

          Yeah hard disagree on that, I fired up an absolutely ancient Viewsonic 60Hz TN panel a while ago and was blown away by the responsiveness in contrast to several much newer IPS and VA screens I'd been using. Sure the colours and viewing angles weren't great, but newer TN panels aren't half bad and are generally fast as heck.

    • Hubs68 on 24/03/2021 - 00:34

      What is the afterpay sales? i cant find any mention of it online. TIA

      • Ruddaga on 24/03/2021 - 08:59

        Was a 20% off Ebay sale last week. Think it has gone now though D:

  • icarus255 on 24/03/2021 - 15:42

    Bought the 32 G7 and it's amazing. Get the G7 if you can go the extra stretch. Couldn't think of anything worse than playing games on anything else.

  • ourcom on 24/03/2021 - 20:44

    Will this work with ps5 at 4k 120fps?

  • degske on 27/03/2021 - 20:27

    the 1000r curve is a joke i returned the g7 and got a gigabyte1500r instead
