Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this monitor wanting something new for my set up. I did research on many monitors but this caught my eye. From the specs to the overall design it is gorgeous with the included stand giving off a mac vibe to it with amazing blacks and vivid colors with buttery smooth gameplay and crisp viewing angles

The quality of this screen is amazing. I gave it 4 stars instead of five however for a few reasons: 1. This is a gaming monitor so you’d think that since the Xbox pass is literally programmed into it it would show in full screen but only the inputs in the back do so you have to plug your gaming system in or computer in to view full screen 2. Who ever decided the ports for this was not thinking clearly here (display port and micro hdmi) just why?? Just means most everyone has to buy adapters to make their inputs compatible 3. There’s a major learning curve here and I feel like the buttons on the remote should have been better utilized to make switching between computer-game-to whatever you have plugged into it easier rather than putting Netflix/ Disney +/prime/ext on there Overall it’s still a beautiful screen and enhances my setup so well

If you are looking into getting the G8 Oled, you probably by now may know a couple of complaints. 1) Having mini hdmi and dp connections. 2) not including a mini hdmi, and having a hard time finding that has good quality specs and longer than 3feet was a challenge. 3) dealing with random monitor going to sleep with DP connection. So if you are like me, and knew already what to expect. You to have to ask yourself, is it worth the headache? If you have an Nvidia card. Then Yes. If you can wait a little and find on sale like i did for 1k. Then Yes. If you are debating between the AW DWF34 and the G8 Oled and is thinking of going with the G8 Oled. DO IT! While very similar, the G8 Oled is a bit brighter specially after tweaking settings. Samsung has release resent firmware which has helped overall. At the 1k price range the best 34 QD-Oled considering some of the initial drawbacks, I believe is the G8 Oled. Hope this helps.

Go with the AW. This monitor is great. Its the same panel as the AW, so they look mostly identical. I went with the G8 because of the aesthetics of the actual monitor itself and I regret it. The "Smart TV OS" on this monitor is so invasive. I get a standby screen every time I turn my PC on until the display port finally gets recognized. At that point I'm already at the log in screen. If I want to get into the BIOS, I have to start up my PC, and then restart it so I see the boot menu.

Fantastic build quality and great picture. I looked at the other offerings of this panel and the samsung is way nicer. The mini dp and hdmi are annoying but not a deal breaker. Use dp to avoid the washed out overly bright default that hdmi brings.

Monitor is great. Color is a little on the warm side or I probably got used to cool monitors/TVs in the past. Color settings are hard to adjust/calibrate (I'm no expert and just use Spyderpro and Displaycal). Micro HDMi has EARC and works great if you have an Atmos Soundbar (PC cannot set Atmos in sound settings since it does not recognize the monitor as Atmos capable). Dolby Digital+ and CEC/ARC control work great/perfectly. Wish it had a USB hub and standard inputs (it has micro hdmi and mini DP). More Inputs would be great too. Tizen software was a little buggy and laggy. It was fixed after a firmware update though. HDR is bright but don't expect it to be as bright as IPS/VA panels. Everything works and the design is very simple but has great quality.

This is an incredible monitor if you like really vivid colors as if you were watching a TV this is your monitor it is elegant it is fine consider that it uses micro ports for hdmi 2.1 and dp a C port that offers charging to your devices an excellent choice if you have your pc and you want a clean and futuristic setup

Amazing Monitor !!!. I also own the Samsung Odysee G9 49inch Neo 4k as well, and I can honestly say that as far as picture quality goes I think that the G8 has a slightly better display. Another feature That i love about the G8 is the fact that it can also be used as a smart TV. And my favorite feature is because I am on the Samsung ecosystem I can with the click of a button cast any of my devices to the monitor wirelessly. Build quality is amazing, and if you want to game in 4k you can totally do that with a 175hz refresh rate which I also love about this monitor. I'm telling if you have the money to spend this is the monitor that you really need to consider pulling the trigger on. and yes it has freesynce and all the bells and whisles that you would want out of a high end gaming monitor.

Stellar display! The individual OLEDs tun off and on providing for true deep blacks for that near infinite contrast ratio. Its so true.... once you go OLED, you just cant go back. The display is both Freesync and GSync compatible, can run at 165hz for buttery smooth gaming. I love that it has built in speakers and the Samsung tizen app has some surprisingly good stuff, including Disney Plus , netflix and Amazon prime. Even Geforce Now works directly from the monitor which is great. Only things you should be aware of: first, i did not buy this monitor for static office work or using splitscreen. Burn-in is a real concern for me. Im only using it for media and videogames. Second, you need to purchase your own micro HDMI cable if using HDMI 2.1, which is a little annoying. Other than that, great monitor, one of the best. Better than the Alienware, as its really the same panel but looks so much nicer, with Samsung apps and speakers included.

This product is truly amazing and comes in a variety of beautiful colors. The monitors are user-friendly and visually stunning. I am particularly fond of the OLED technology used in this product. visually stunning. I am particularly fond of the OLED technology used in this product.

Overall this monitor is great if you can get it on sale. The panel itself has amazing color accuracy and is just about what you would expect from an OLED screen. It would be hard for me to go back to a different panel that is not OLED. The only issues I have with it are similar to what others have reported. If your PC goes to sleep and you are using a displayport cable, the monitor will not wake back up. Samsung has been aware of this issue for over a year and state they will fix it with firmware updates, but have yet to make good on this. The other issue seems to be with the recent batch of monitors. There are reports of coil whine on some recent units and mine so happened to be one of those. It has been two weeks and my unit has started to show the slightest signs of coil whine. We'll see if this continues to get worse or not. For now it is bearable but I can't say the experience will be the same with other units. Just something to keep in mind. This monitor is great at a discounted price if you can look past mini connections, bad smart tv software, sleep issues, and coil whine. I wouldn't be able to justify spending full price on this monitor. If these are things that would bug you as a consumer then I suggest looking into a different monitor.

Pros: Great body build quality and panel resolution. Cons: The colors on this monitor are way too saturated. I've experienced Samsung color profiles before, but you can usually easily correct and adjust. This monitor was hard to make adjustments on and would usually reset after a while. Also had a huge problem with it not recognizing the input after my PC went to sleep, so I had to do a forced shutdown and power it back on for the monitor to finally recognize input. Also, this monitor has Smart TV features that I wish you could disable and just use as a regular computer monitor. My biggest gripe though? I spent 3 weeks experiencing horrible headaches, nausea, jaw clenching, high blood pressure, and anxiety. One day I noticed a high-pitched sound emitting from the monitor as images changed on it. The culprit? Coil whine that would change pitch according to images on the monitor. I exchanged the monitor for another brand and all the symptoms went away. Be aware because, after a quick search, I found this to be a problem for many Samsung monitor models.

Nice monitor, love the contrast ratio, motion clarity as well as colors! HDR looks amazing on it and playing games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk make the game really pop. Just make sure your graphics card is running fast enough to do it justice as you want to enjoy the 175 hz and I suggest having atleast 100fps in your games to really appreciate the display. The software that is built in with netflix and amazon etc is a nice thing to have too. However there are some weird things about this monitor. Micro DP is the connector that comes with it. This isn't standard and you can always just use HDMI. However there is a weird bug in that sometimes it doesn't wake from sleep mode and you have to use the remote that comes with it to turn the display on. Not the worst thing in the world but it does happen occasionally. Overall I am really happy with the purchase. With anything oled it might be wise to purchase the extended warranty for 3-4 years as it will ease your mind for any possible burn in. I would recommend this monitor.

[Employee of bestbuy] Fantastic monitor, the colors are very vivid and the quality is crisp.

Really happy so far with this display. My PC games have never looked so vibrant and detailed, and the immersion offered by ultrawide is superb. I can never go back to an IPS or VA panel after being spoiled by the black levels and color accuracy of OLED. Purchased over the Alienware DWF due to the aesthetics and minimal depth, which frees up more desk space. The Alienware does have a much better warranty against burn-in, so time will tell what happens with this monitor. One minor gripe is that I have a Samsung TV located in the same room that this monitor and the remote to the TV or monitor inevitably turns the other device on or off. There is seemingly no way to re-program either remote, so beware if you have another Samsung TV nearby.

The picture quality is what you’d expect of if a high end OLED monitor. Not a QD-OLED so there is still risk of burn in for static images, but I’m risking it because of how good the picture quality is. I work on a laptop and then swap to my own personal laptop after so I’m using the USB-C inputs, and it would have easily been a 5 star rating if there was hub support, so I could actually plug in multiple usb input devices in the back at USB 3 speeds, rather than the USB 2 speeds it currently maxes out at, as a hacky workaround.

This is a very good product, picture quality is excellent and I often find something to do on my computer just to gaze at it. I hate that no micro hdmi cable comes in the box, if you buy this monitor you will need to buy one because you will end up not being able to use your new shiny computer for the first day or two.

i was in need of a monitor and thjs was definetly my best pption. the colors and lighting on it are some of the best ive seen, the price may have been a biut much, but for what i payed im bery happy with the product

I finally decided to treat myself and get an oled monitor. I'm glad I did. The picture quality is amazing, response times are super fast. No ghosting at all, no smearing like a Va panel and low input lag. Well worth the price I paid. Got the 4 year warranty also as it covers burn in. It has a smart os like a tv which is nice and it comes with a remote. I wish more monitors did this as it's easier than trying to adjust some goofy buttons on the back of the panel. Good job Samsung, great monitor

The monitor itself is great. However, in retrospect I would not have bought it if I knew more about it. First, it has a mini DVI port and a mini HDMI port. To make it work with my MAC, I had to buy adapter cables and it only worked well with MINI-HDMI to USB-C. Second and most importantly is that it comes with "features" to stream video services that I don't want. Okay, I can ignore that but to do so, it also has a remote control. That's a huge problem because I have a Samsung TV on the wall above the monitor.l The TV remote wants to turn off or change features on the computer monitor and the monitor remote wants to turn off or change settings on the TV and it can't be controlled. Only way to fix that is get another TV from a different manufacturer such as Sony, etc. Why does the monitor want to be so darned "smart". I would have preferred that my computer put the monitor to sleep when appropriate and just have a simple power button to turn the monitor on and off. If I had it to do over, I would have bought the 34" Alienware monitor. I've always trusted Samsung electronic products but they burned me on this one.
