On that note, where the feet meet the arm near the back is raised a bit and cords easily fit underneath that. A DisplayPort or HDMI cable doesn’t feed through it at all. Even so, it was a bit tricky to get the power cable fed through, and even trickier trying to pull it out when we disassembled the monitor. While there is cable management inside the stand arm, it doesn’t really facilitate much aside from the power cable. The assembly also angles left and right and tilts up and down for more fine-tuned setup control. This assembly also slides up and down within the stand, giving you about 4 3/4-inches of height adjustment. Above this front hole is the main assembly which screws onto the back of the monitor. It has a hole cut out at the bottom on the back and another one on the front not quite halfway up for cable management. The stand arm is more or less flat on the front but curved around the back. Foam pads are attached at the front of each leg and towards the back to prevent scratching your desk. The underside of the legs angle up a bit towards the back, leaving a bit of a gap underneath the legs towards the back. The legs are skinny and jut out in a v shape towards the front. Combined, they weigh roughly 3.5 lbs., giving the monitor a nice sturdy stand to sit on. The included stand comes in two parts: the legs and the arm. The input ports on the Samsung Odyssey G7 curved gaming monitor. This is due to where the cable management hole in the stand is, more on that in a second. In an interesting design choice, the cables feed through a small opening at the top of this piece as opposed to feeding up through the bottom of the monitor. Finally, for the back, Samsung has designed a piece that snaps into place to hide the cables. A second AC cable plugs into the power brick via a figure-eight style plug. The first, which connects to the monitor, ends in a power brick. Speaking of power, the power cable comes in two pieces. When looking at the back of the monitor, these are (from left to right) the 3.5mm audio port, HDMI, two DisplayPort, USB hub, two USB-A, and the proprietary round power port. In a dim setting, it definitely added some excellent ambiance to the gaming setup. When the monitor is on, the core does throw out quite a bit of light depending on what lighting mode and brightness you’ve chosen. The LED core is 6-inches in diameter where it attaches to the monitor, sloping out to 4-inches at the back, and is 1 1/4-inch in depth. The core itself is capped with a translucent ring that splits in half for assembly. The top half does bulge out slightly as it wraps up around the middle core.

A textured motif on the back radiates in circles and lines out from the core for an interesting look.

Depending on which mode you choose, you can customize the LED colour as well in the on-screen menu. Available lighting modes include Static, Rainbow, Flash, Double Flash, and Breathing. This circle is the LED core that illuminates and glows while the monitor is turned on. The back of the monitor has a roughly 6-inch circle in the middle of it. The back of the Samsung Odyssey G7 curved gaming monitor. Centered on the bottom edge is a single power button that doubles as the menu/source/PIP toggle. The edges are angled down slightly as this is where the bottom LED lights are housed. The bottom bezel is 3/4-inch in the middle and about an inch at its highest on each edge. The side and top bezels are just over 1/4-inch thick. Its design is sleek with fairly thin top and side bezels. There’s no question the Samsung Odyssey G7 is a gaming monitor.
