Samsung - 34" Odyssey QD-OLED G8 Curved Ultra-WQHD 175Hz FreeSync Prem Pro and G-Sync Compatible Smart Glare Free Gaming Monitor - Silver

When I say I’ve been through it all in the search for the perfect ultrawide monitor, I mean it. My journey started with the Acer 34-inch—a monitor that, on paper, seemed promising, but in practice, was riddled with frustrations. The most glaring issue? Light bleeding through the edges of the screen. It broke any sense of immersion and made me realize that no matter how budget-friendly a monitor might be, if the quality isn’t there, it’s simply not worth it. Next, I tried the Alienware 34-inch. I wanted so badly to love it—it’s Alienware, after all. But as sleek as it looked, it didn’t offer any sound capabilities, and for the price, it lacked anything truly groundbreaking to set it apart. It was good, but not great. I needed more, and that’s when I stumbled upon the Samsung Odyssey G8 34-inch. From the moment I set it up, I knew this was something special. The CoreSync lighting system was a revelation—it doesn’t just sit on your desk; it transforms your entire gaming or productivity environment. The colors sync so effortlessly with whatever you’re doing on-screen that it creates an experience, not just a display. Combine that with the monitor’s stunning design—razor-thin, sleek, and unapologetically premium—and you’ve got a product that feels just as incredible as it looks. The visual quality is, quite simply, unmatched. The OLED panel delivers vivid, true-to-life colors and perfect blacks that I’ve never seen replicated elsewhere. Every game, movie, or project feels elevated to a new level of immersion. And the 240Hz refresh rate? Absolute perfection. Initially, I struggled to justify the price, even though it was worth every penny. I returned it after my first purchase, thinking I could live without it. Big mistake. Within two weeks of using another monitor, I couldn’t stop thinking about the G8 and regretting my decision every single day. The moment it went on sale again, I didn’t hesitate—I bought it back and haven’t looked back since. The Samsung Odyssey G8 isn’t just a monitor; it’s an investment in quality, immersion, and pure enjoyment. If you’re tired of settling for less and want something that truly stands out in every way—design, performance, and features—this is the one to get. I’m so glad I gave it a second chance, and you won’t regret giving it a first.

hands-down the most beautiful monitor I have ever purchased this replaced two smaller gaming monitors, and I will never go back. The only drawback is the software. It is not the best but once you get it down everything about this monitor is more than great. Amazing build quality as well!

I'm a Samsung fanboy, I have a Samsung phone, tablet, earbuds, and TVs. It being a Samsung monitor, and being my first Oled monitor, I was very excited to get this. I upgraded from an led monitor, and man! I was blown away by the colors and deep blacks! So the panel itself is great, but they ruined it by adding the useless Tyzen OS. It took me longer to sign into the monitor with my Samsung account, go through a bunch of settings, user agreements, and familiarizing with the menus to find the input for my PC than pulling it out of the box and finding a good spot on my desk. It's a monitor! I should not have to go through all that to set up a monitor, that's all on my PC, which I plan to use. It's because Samsung, with their infinite wisdom, decided they needed to make the monitor double as a TV, which is completely useless since people will use it with a PC or even a console. And when I wake my PC, the game menu pops up, then I have to wait for it to go away. The result is a bad monitor and a bad TV. If thinking about getting this monitor, get one that doesn't have Tyzen and doesn't try to be a TV. I already ordered one from LG, with 240hz.
