Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using this monitor for 2 weeks now for office work and gaming. Previously, I have used a Samsung 32" VA panel in 2K resolution, and I recently tried Samsung Odyssey G65B, which I didn't like at all and have returned. My older VA panel was so good that I could not find another monitor to replace it despite it being on a slightly dated tech with fixed 60 fps. I will try different monitor but will go back to my 2k VA panel. With this OLED, I have finally moved. The panel difference is evident if you are coming from any non-OLED panel. Colors are vibrant, I do not feel any input lag, no ghosting whatsoever, games look crisp with 4k resolution, and VRR worked perfectly with my 6950xt. I am yet to play a native HDR game, but I played Rise of the tomb raider which windows convert using Auto HDR and the HDR highlights looks nice. I have used it in both dark and well-lit environment and have nothing to complain about. The stand is minimalistic, looks great and it moves all the directions. It has matte coating on the screen, and I am in dual mind about it. I can see the coating while working if the background is white and static and it does bothers me a tad bit but while gaming it is not an issue with all the colors popping up vibrantly on the screen. In fact, it helps with the reflections. My PC have a lot of RGB in it, and I do not see any reflection on the monitor. My last monitor also had a similar matte finish, but it does not show up anywhere. I would have loved for G8 to have something similar. There is one small issue for my use case, I have two PC connected to G8. One with HDMI and one with DP. If I shutdown the HDMI PC, the monitor will go to sleep in 2 seconds. Now if I start the PC on DP, I have to manually switch the input connection and that control is at an extremely obscure location. There is a setting which says that G8 will switch to a new active input, but it only works if it has not gone to standby. On standby it only wakes up if same input is turned on. I would not be complaining about it if the control was not on such a hard-to-reach location or if there was a remote. I really wish Samsung will fix it with a firmware update. There is no USB-C which is a surprise at the price. I am going to keep it, the upgrade to OLED is fantastic, the VRR is working well and overall the issues are small, and I can live with them for the picture quality.

Doubles from my main monitor to a guest bedroom tv without having to turn my pc on and bother any guests with the noise
