Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll keep the review simple. Pros: Picture quality Refresh rate Size Games look beautiful Customization with settings Cons: Has built in tv functionality but does not have any optical out, meaning you cant use the tv functions through the same audio output as your pc. On top of that, the only option is the built in speakers, which are terrible, or a bluetooth device. Big downside for me as i was hoping to use the interface with my audio equipment. Hdr seems to be buggy, but need to do more testing before making that claim absolute G sync does not seem to work properly, and leads to flickering or the monitor just not working anymore. Neutral: Default color settings are sun optimal Tv setup is annoying Interface can be overwhelming Overall, I'm not sure if there's a reason to get this specific monitor over some of the others that use the same panel. I would reccomend just buying the one that is the cheapest.

It has an amazing picture. I paid $1099.99 out the door. I only had one main issue, that being this line that appears when my game is changing screens. Mainly from one load screen to another. It was hard enough spending 1100 on a 32” im really considering taking it back and getting an LG C3 of C4 42” or 48” for $899-1199. I really do love this product but for so much spent idk that i can withstand the lines. This is my first attempt to improve my gaming experience with 4k and 120fps. Although i can have both at the same time is another reason im considering the 42-48” tv that also has 120-144hz capability. Hdmi 2.1 ports. Plus a bigger OLED screen.

Love it! Picture quality looks amazing and button lag almost nonexistent on ps5. Can’t wait to try on ps5 pro

This monitor is packed with features and is gorgeous to look at. It is not quite perfect, however. First of all, as a gaming monitor which is of course the primary function and intent, it is phenomenal. Color reproduction is flawless, black levels are perfect, refresh rate is stunning. With a proper GPU you can push up to 240hz and never see a single tear in the frames. I have a 4070 Super and have been playing Starfield a lot lately. At 4k and on ultra settings it is buttery smooth and looks incredible. A game like that really takes advantage of the HDR and OLED qualities with all the black of space and the varied lighting on different planets. It really is stunning. On the other end of the gaming spectrum, I’ve also spent a lot of time with Cities Skylines II which involves a massive number of small details that are truly brought to life on the 4K resolution. The semi-matte finish is unobtrusive and does a great job dispersing light and reducing glare. In fact, this is one of the only screens I have that has virtually no glare whatsoever. The backside has an RGB light ring around the VESA 100x100 mounting point that can be customized in the settings to many different color options and schemes, and the body itself is a very thin high-quality metal. It includes an ultra high-speed HDMI cable, DP 1.4 cable, USB upstream cable, an unfortunately large glossy white power brick, and a full motion stand that is also a metal construction allowing for easy tilting, height, and rotation adjustments. I use a desk mount arm for it and since it is fairly lightweight it was an easy install. One of the most unique features it has is the ability to function like a TV set with a Bluetooth remote and built in wifi with streaming app support on the Tizen OS. It works great once you can get a Samsung account setup which for some reason is required to use any of the streaming apps. Doing so should be pretty easy, but it took me half a dozen tries just to get the email verification step to properly complete and was so frustrating I initially gave up entirely. A few hours later I tried again and somehow got it working which allowed me to get into my streaming apps and sign into each one. It’s a bit of a gimmick particularly since the built in speakers are subpar, but the remote can be pretty handy for navigating the various settings screens and changing inputs quickly. Whenever no motion from a mouse or input is detected, it quickly goes into a screen saver mode to protect itself from burn-in and resumes just as quickly once you want to get going again which adds an additional layer of comfort for keeping that OLED screen looking great. If you want an absolutely beautiful, responsive 4K screen for your gaming delights and have a desire to watch TV afterwards then this is the one you’ve been looking for. Requiring a Samsung login to use any additional apps is a bizarre and frustrating choice that tarnishes the experience a bit but it’s still a gorgeous screen and that fact more than makes up for that shortcoming.

Right out of the box I was immediately impressed by how simple it was to put this monitor together -just snap and twist without any tools whatsoever. Also, it is not heavy, so handling it was easy. The next thing I noticed was how thin the panel is in comparison with my other 32” monitors. The silver/black design language is sleek and elegant. The silver edges are not intrusive, and the bezels are super thin. Once on my desk, I noticed that I had more real state to put my speakers and soundbar under the monitor. The monitor features plenty of connectivity such as HDMI 2.1, DP.14, and USB-A. Unfortunately, it is missing a USB-C and 3.5mm audio jack. Also, I would’ve liked to see an additional HDMI port. There is also Bluetooth support. Setting it up is a breeze, especially since I have a Samsung phone. Through the app, I can adjust settings and use it as a remote. In addition, I can use it as a digital controller and many other cool features. I originally thought the smart features were a gimmick, but not only did I find myself watching media content this way more often, but that allowed my PC to rest when not in use. The sun-powered remote is a great supplement. Another surprising feature is that there is picture-in-picture mode! The panel features a non-reflective coating which is rather impressive. My office has two large windows, and they were not an issue whatsoever. I thought this would affect the picture quality, but I was pleased that this was not the case. Speaking of visuals, the OLED screen is beautiful to look at right out of the box. The colors are vibrant, the whites are bright, and the blacks are silky dark. The contrast is deep as well. Nevertheless, I spent a very long time tweaking the picture. I am glad that this monitor can keep some profiles as my settings would change depending on the content. 4k-HDR content simply looks eye-popping. I mainly work on one monitor and play content on the other, and I am so impressed by the viewing angles. Even at ridiculous angles I can see the picture clearly. The AI mostly handles resolution upscaling, which is nice, but sometimes can be noticed and be a bit distracting, especially when a lot of movement is happening or when highly contrast pictures are flashing at lower resolutions. I still appreciate it though. When it comes to gaming, I was also quite satisfied. The 240Hz makes navigating buttery smooth. There are not a lot of games that take advantage of HDR on PC, but the ones that did looked amazing. To appreciate the 4K-HDR resolution, you must have a high-end PC. Even with my custom build I barely went above 60fps on 4K on triple-A titles, but lowering the res to 1440p, they ran much better at higher frame rates and response times while still looking amazing. The Freesync support was the icing on the cake. Hooking up a 4K capable console using the included 2.1 HDMI cable fully takes advantage of the monitor’s capability and is a joy to play. The gaming hub is a decent feature as I can stream games on my fast internet and the games looked great with the AI upscaling. I also appreciate the dynamic cooling system which prevents overheating. There is an AI brightness adjustment when a static logo or menus to prevent screen burn-in. In addition, there is a screen saver when the screen is not playing anything. Lastly, the audio is good. It is loud and clear. However, it is lacking bass, so a sound system or headset would be highly recommended. Yes, this monitor does have a premium price tag, but in my opinion, it is totally worth it. I’d say check it out and you won’t be disappointed.

It is really a dumb idea for a monitor to be smart. It feels like you bought a very expensive 32 inch smart TV with all the features you never asked for, which you also truly don't want. Especially when the user interface and experience is absolutely abhorrent. Too bad because the screen quality is actually very cool. I had to return it because the "smart" firmware made the monitor hard to use for dumb professional work.

Monitor looks premium and very beatufiul. Picture quality is fantastic and I love that it doubles as a smart TV. I dont need to turn on my pc to watch Netflix or Youtube. Hoping that these next gen OLED will be more averse to burn-in, I'm using it for media consumption and playing console and pc games.

Works as intended and is very reliable. Picture quality is superior

picture quality is incredible, but the "smart" functionality is often more trouble. Also be mindful that there is no way to sync these monitors together if you are running two. Which makes adjusting settings and inputs a challenge using the same remote. Very frustrating that Samsung did not consider dual monitor as a use case.

Amazing monitor clear picture great for my ps5 games

This review is on a Samsung - 32" Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) 4K UHD 240Hz - LS32DG802SNXZA. My main use for this monitor is for gaming but you get so much more. First of all, setup for this monitor is a breeze. You place the stand into the base and twist to lock on. Then you hook the stand into the monitor and snap down. Couldn't be easier. Once it was powered on, all I had to do is use my Samsung S23 to set it up. It immediately recognized the monitor through the SmartThings app. From there it completely set it up with my account, Wi-Fi info, and registered the product in a few minutes. The screen can easily rotate or tilt and it stays in place. Then I connected my XBOX Series X and it recognized that it was an XBOX and added the XBOX logo as the picture for the input. The monitor passes the majority of checks for XBOX 4K details. It doesn't support Dolby Vision for gaming or content at 4K 24Hz or 50Hz. A really nice feature is a map cast to another device. So as I am playing my game, I can cast the game map(radar) to another monitor and enlarge it. I connected my XBOX controller to it by BT and can control all functions and play games through the cloud. The remote that comes with it is very thin and has a solar cell built in to recharge the battery. I would have liked to see and the remote a source select button but it can still be found after pressing the settings button. Holding down the play button will bring up the game bar. Holding down he volume button will bring up an Accessibility menu. Holding down the channel button will bring up the Samsung channel guide. There is a built in microphone on the remote and also one in the monitor. There is a hidden switch next to the microphone on the monitor if you want to turn it off. I can also connect a BT mouse and keyboard. Then I turn on DeX on my Samsung S23 and can use it like a computer. Sweet! Now on to the picture quality. The picture is amazing, stunning and just gorgeous whether it is gaming, menus or TV. New games look incredible and smooth during play with no lag or flicker. Old games however don't look as good with HDR turned on. It looks a bit too washed but you can turn it off to fix this. There is no glare on this screen. If you are worried about burn-in it has a new Pulsating Heat Pipe built in to help guard against burn-in. It also has a screen saver to help. The last feature that I thoroughly enjoy is Alexa built-in. Now I can control all my devices through the monitor. For some reason the Alexa app did not work to start with and I had to re-install but after that it worked. This monitor is a must have if you are serious about gaming or just want to watch movies.
