Samsung unveiled the first iteration of their QD-OLED gaming monitors, which offer a broader color gamut and have increased brightness. Users can connect their consoles to it as a monitor and enjoy a smooth performance. 

Since it combines OLED panels with Samsung's Quantum Dot material, QD-OLED has drawn attention to raising the standard for display technology.

Compared to other display competitors' current OLED panels, Samsung claims that this can create colors of superior quality and even higher brightness.

According to a report from PCMag, IPS monitors, which can only display ghostly grays when attempting to render black colors, cannot produce pure blacks like Samsung's QD-OLED technology does.

The 34-inch Odyssey OLED G8 monitor has a 175Hz refresh rate, 3440x1440 resolution, a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a 0.1 ms real response time, 99.3% DCI-P3 coverage, and a 1800R curvature. These ground-breaking features make the Odyssey G8 a display frontrunner.

According to a report from Engadget, the Odyssey OLED G8 Monitor is also DisplayHDR 400 True Black and FreeSync Premium certified, although there is no mention of G-Sync compatibility.

According to Samsung, its featured Quantum Mini-LED achieves next-generation depth, which Dolby Atmos and Sound Dome technology enhance for engrossing surround sound to give remarkable visual and audio quality. 

Users may find and identify the ideal display by setting the screen to Cockpit Mode. Users can change the aspect ratio to enjoy multiple content sources with just one touch seamlessly.

Its large screen offers an immersive experience that is superior to that shown by other display types. For optimum immersion, the 1800R curvature can wrap around the player's field of vision. According to Samsung, the Odyssey G8 gaming monitor is the best in its class in terms of functionality and build quality. Additionally, the 175Hz refresh rate of the display nearly eliminates lag for thrilling games with ultra-smooth action. 

The monitor, according to Samsung, is the best for games that call for quick reflexes and accuracy. The 1ms response time, accurate mouse movements, blur-free frames, and reduced ghosting are all hallmarks of the G8 gaming monitor.

According to Engadget, gaming monitors with metal frames and stands are rare in the PC monitor market. This particular gaming monitor from Samsung is encased in metal but only offers height and tilt adjustment. 

Because the gaming monitor comes with a built-in RGB lighting system, it is no anymore compatible with a VESA mount. This means it will be quite a hassle to try wall mounts or wall mounting systems for this particular gaming monitor.

Engadget tells us that the Odyssey G8 will go on sale at the end of this year. Be updated with the latest news from Samsung to grab your own G8 monitor. At the moment, the product is available for pre-order. Check out this link.
