The question is: do the advantages of the Nano-IPS display has over the SVA panel warrant such a difference in price? To find out we will analyze both monitors in a set of different categories, and provide a verdict for which monitor is best for different PC uses and preferences. This is also apparent in this comparison, as the Dell Alienware AW2721D is $225 more expensive than the Samsung Odyssey G7 which is a 37.5% price increase. IPS panels are generally more expensive to make than VA panels, which in turn means a higher end-price for the consumer. What is also important to note about these panels is their manufacturing costs. This technology was initially created by LG, and it refers to a backlighting method in which light absorbing nano-particles are placed on the W-LED in order to absorb excessive light wavelengths, which increases the color range that the monitor is capable of reproducing. The Dell Alienware AW2721D also has a unique in-plane switching panel called Nano IPS. The panel of the Samsung Odyssey G7 is not a typical Vertical Alignment panel, as instead it includes Samsung’s own Super Vertical Alignment (SVA) variant which have more tolerable viewing angles, up to 300% better contrast ratios, higher brightness levels, up to 50% faster G2G response times – due to how quickly the liquid crystals switch speeds – and lower input lag which is what makes SVA panels an excellent choice for gaming monitors. They do, however, fall short when it comes to contrast ratios. IPS panels, on the other hand, have great viewing angles, great color coverage, and relatively low input lag – but not as low as TN monitors. Traditional VA panels have excellent contrast ratios, decent color gamut reproduction and high brightness levels but they usually lack severely when it comes to viewing angles, and, in some cases, may have high input lag. The main difference between these two monitors is their panels – and the inherent strengths and shortcomings therein. Not only do these two 1440p 240 Hz monitors offer extremely high refresh rates at a QHD resolution, but they also have DisplayHDR 600 compatibility, fast Grey-to-Grey (G2G) response times, and extremely low input lag. The battle of the high-end 27-inch monitors finds two combatants duking it out to assert dominance in the gaming-peripheral market: The Samsung Odyssey G7 and the Dell Alienware AW2721D.
