That said, while Samsung hasn't provided any official update notes that confirm an official fix, it's looking good so far with multiple users saying that they no longer experience flickering with the update. However, others are also saying that with the new option, there is now tearing below the VRR range. The new firmware, version 1009.3, introduces a new option in the Settings called VRR Control that when enabled, appears to resolve the flickering.

While I've yet to test out the latest firmware update for myself, some users are already reporting that the new firmware update has fixed the issue. That's a pretty huge bummer, since VRR is supposed to enable a smoother and more fluid gaming experience free from artefacts like tearing or stuttering. I own the 32-inch Odyssey G7 and have experienced this flickering myself, particularly at loading screens, and it was only solved when VRR was turned off. The Odyssey G7 is compatible with variable refresh rate technologies from both AMD and NVIDIA, with support for both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync (more specifically, it is listed as G-Sync Compatible), but some users and reviewers have reported flickering issues when VRR is enabled. Samsung's latest firmware appears to fix flickering on its G7 Odyssey monitorĪ new firmware update for the Samsung Odyssey G7 gaming monitor appears to have fixed a stuttering issue plaguing certain users since launch.
