Q: How do I connect my ps5 to the monitor
A: I own this monitor and wondered the same thing when I first bought it. Because it has a micro HDMI port, you'll have to purchase that specific type of cable to connect the PS5 to the monitor (Amazon has inexpensive micro HDMI 2.1 cables). So, in other words, the monitor is compatible to connect to the PS5, but only with a "micro" HDMI 2.1 cable. The downside is (at the time of this writing) the PS5 does not output 21:9 Ultrawide (or wider) resolutions. So, you'll have to lower your output (black bars) or play with a stretched picture on your display. I hope this answer helps.
Q: When is this coming back out
A: idk but I have been checking practically every day and I guess the day I didn't check it was released and sold out same day?
Q: How is this monitor for movies
A: I would pass as it’s not a 4K monitor your tv would be better if you have an oled
Q: I'm assuming this has no built in speakers? As I don't see any mention of them.
A: Yes it has built in speakers. The sound quality is ok if you sit near it. The monitor is also very buggy, I've had this for 3 weeks and i keep the monitor volume at 20 or 30 and it consistently increases throughout the day to 50 or 60 before I turn it back down. Using the smart tv apps like Netflix or any other app the audio will only come out through the monitor speakers. It won't matter if your PC speakers are connected, the sound for the built in apps don't work with PC speakers. However you'll have to just use your web browser on the computer for your computer speakers to work.
A: Sounds like the ratio is off. Try doing this on the monitor: Settings > Picture > Picture Size Settings > set the ratio to 21:9.
Q: Can this be mounted to a monitor arm?
A: Yes. Vesa 100 mm.
A: It comes with the cable you need to connect it to a full sized display port. You can also purchase an adapter if you want to use hdmi.

Phenomenal monitor but...
After an extensive comparison with its rivals, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34" stands out as the pinnacle of gaming monitors, offering a perfect blend of style and substance. Its sleek design not only elevates any gaming setup but also packs a punch with features like high-quality built-in speakers and a convenient 65W USB-C port. I personally bought the LG 45" UltraGear OLED, Alienware - AW3423DWF 34" OLED, and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34" to compare all three models side-by-side. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34" won and here's why. Design and Features: The G8's design is nothing short of elegant, fitting seamlessly into a professional environment while boasting features tailored for the ultimate gaming experience. Its surprise package? The remarkably good built-in speakers and the versatile USB-C port, a boon for MacBook users. Gaming Performance: Paired with an RTX 4080, the G8 offers an immersive gaming experience. The visuals are crisp, colors pop, and the overall performance is fluid, making every gaming session an event to look forward to. Pros: - Crisp, vibrant display - High-quality built-in speakers - Sleek, professional design Cons: - Clunky UI - Wobbly stand without a stable desk - Micro display ports could be a turnoff Final Verdict: This monitor is a beast in the gaming world, and at its sale price of $899.99, it's an absolute bargain. While it has its flaws, they are overshadowed by its performance and design. A solid 4/5 stars from me.

Excellent display, poor port options
I recently purchased an open-box monitor in good condition from Best Buy. The display is excellent, with a crisp and vibrant image quality that exceeded my expectations. Watching content or working on this monitor is a pleasure due to the sharpness and color accuracy. However, I do have a couple of caveats to mention. First, the monitor's port options are limited to a mini DisplayPort and micro HDMI, which are quite rare and inconvenient. It would have been much more user-friendly to include standard HDMI or DisplayPort options. Regarding the open-box condition, while the monitor functions perfectly, there were a few cosmetic issues. I noticed some scratches on the back and a bit of sticky residue on the display itself. Fortunately, these haven't affected the monitor's performance.
