Let’s put those aside for a second, though, and look at the OLED G8’s specs — its 3,440 x 1,440 panel can run at a 175Hz refresh rate and has an 1800R curve (which is relatively flat compared to screens like the 1000R-curved Odyssey G9 and LG’s OLED gaming monitor, the UltraGear 45GR95QE). It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium, which helps reduce stuttering or tearing during gameplay by dynamically adjusting the screen’s refresh rate to keep up with what your GPU is putting out. The monitor also features a height and tilt adjustable stand and a built-in 5W stereo speaker. The OLED G8 has a gentle curve. Image: Samsung In addition to being a game and video streaming hub, the OLED G8 can also talk to and control IoT devices using Samsung’s SmartThings app. The company also says the screen features an upgraded version of its Core Lighting Plus system, which uses lights on the back of the screen to splash your wall with colors that match what’s on your screen. In terms of ports, the monitor has Micro HDMI 2.1, Mini DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C. Using the micro and mini variants of the display ports on such a large display is a bit odd, but there are a lot of slightly odd things about the Odyssey OLED G8. The first is the name — I assumed this screen would just be an OLED version of Samsung’s existing Odyssey Neo G8, but the two screens aren’t really that similar. They have different sizes, refresh rates, resolutions and curvature. The OLED G8 features an “upgraded” version of Core Lighting Plus. Image: Samsung The screen technology itself is strange. Samsung is leading the charge in quantum dot OLED, or QD-OLED, which has produced some pretty impressive results when placed in gaming monitors like the Alienware AW3423DW. But Samsung isn’t entirely clear if it’s using one of its QD-OLED panels in the G8 OLED — the press release says the OLED panel “works with Quantum Dot technology.” The company did not immediately respond to The Verge’s request for clarification on the panel used by the display. Since Samsung is showing off the display at the IFA tech show, we’re hoping to get a firsthand look at it and maybe some more information to boot. Depending on the price, it could be a more than decent display. Samsung hasn’t released details about it yet, but we should know about it soon — the company says it’ll be “available globally from Q4 2022.” It seems likely that some of its features, such as the upgraded lighting system and Gaming Hub, will make it to the company’s 2023 gaming monitor lineup, so if this G8 OLED isn’t quite what you’re looking for, it might be worth waiting and seeing. what else Samsung has in the works.
