The AG coating make this so much better then the G8. Thx for the review.

[@christianspring5911]

Yes I agree, menu buttons is a mix feelings for me. Buttons feels premium but a pain in ass after a while...

[@SuperTramp4223]

Amazing monitor! The color accuracy, the contrast and the blacks are better than 90% of the monitors - including Dell Alienware, Sony M9.

[@xxyourhunterxx4044]

It has great contrast and blacks, but the accuracy is actually quite low

[@mr.bobface9898]

Great video man. I love the monitor.

[@vapour_focus]

It is a stunning piece! I measured I sit 90cm away from my monitor so the 1000R curvature should present itself somewhat natural even though I previously judged it to be most unnatural. I'd also have so sit dead on but I'll bet it will be rewarded with deeper immersion.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Nice monitor overall.

[@Orthus1979]

Great video, can you do a comparrison video with the g8 please.

[@JoelsterG4k]

Yes I am working on that video.

[@NeroFX]

I have the G8, set to 240Hz via HDMI 2.1, it does work, it's just G Sync that only works with Display port 1.4 Variable Refresh Rate still works with HDMI anyway. It does a good job. If you look it up, HDMI 2.1 has more bandwidth than display port 1.4, until display port 2.0 releases.

[@lukespatola1184]

my Man U cannot get 240hz over Hdmi 2.1

[@timpeeee1904]

Hello Sir, Great Video.. I have one Question. Why are you using HDMI 2.1 and not Displayport ? best Greetz 🙂

[@ahmadsultankadir1]

***** Here is all my favorite settings list of both SDR and HDR ***** I tell you guys this Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is very good monitor. But... You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals! But if you got the G7 Neo model then just try see if that good for you... This is very important settings with " Saturation " this give more color for to both SDR and HDR. Well, best settings is Saturation with 58 or 60 or 70. I use 70 for both SDR and HDR. Depending on which movies or games to run. See and test what is fit well best. Also important that " Local Dimming " to High or Auto. Sometimes better use with High and sometimes better use Auto, depend on. But you need use both High and Auto, However use often with High. If you like can use also with Low, but i never use Low. "Local Dimming" is important for both SDR and HDR. This thing has do with Mini-LED. You can change " Contrast Enhancer " On or Off, if you like it. " Black Equalizer " 13 is great but you can change from 9 to 16 or up to 20 if you like it. 9 to 16 is great " Contrast " with 75 and 80, 90 and 100 fine. You can change Gamma Mode 1 or 2 or 3. I use 1 and 2. Even you can change " Color Tone " I use Normal and Warm 1 and Natural. " Adaptive-Sync " is On this is good thing so you can use with G-Sync Compatible to enable if you wanna it. But make sure turn off V-Sync in game. If off G-Sync, you can use V-Sync. I don't use G-Sync due they are not support to all games also i don't need that. You can have " Adaptive-Sync " on and without use G-Sync and just enable V-Sync. If you turn off " Adaptive-Sync " You can use with " Response Time " and " Low Input Lag ". I don't use " Low Input Lag " Just keep on " Adaptive-Sync ". If you turn on " Adaptive-Sync " will work run with G-Sync or FreeSync. HDMI or DisplayPort both work to run with G-Sync or FreeSync. My " VRR Control " is On. Well better use with HDMI than DP. HDMI can get 12-bit color, with a lot color than 10-bit. But make sure set on output color depth 12-bit SDR in PC. This monitor model HDMI 2.1 get only 120Hz max at 4K. If guys wanna run with DisplayPort at 240 Hz but get only 10-bit color. This monitor support 12 bit color, That Amazing... If you run HDMI on PC and don't forget turn off HDMI audio in Nvidia Control Panel or in Sound Control Panel, If you wanna use from motherboard audio ports or PC sound card. If you have problem monitor like when is flickering or glitching or other just turn off power in OSD buttons then turn on power. If this not help then just restart PC in Windows. Then is all good again. I think DP is better than HDMI for that Samsung Neo Odyssey G8. Almost zero issues for flickering or nothing at all. I think HDMI got more issue. This is just small problem, not big deal. I did try only with PC Windows DP & HDMI. I don't know about with Consoles at HDMI if have problem with flickering or other. I did read from someone comment and he said about Scanlines problem.. =========================================================================== What i learned watching hours of reviews 240HZ = GAMING ONLY (Scanlines are not noticeable while gaming ) 120HZ = OFFICE WORK / VIDEO (Eliminates scanlines) *Get used to scaling your MONTIOR depending on the type of work you are doing. *SWITCH TO 240hz while GAMING * SWITCH TO 120hz while doing OFFICE WORK =========================================================================== You know that settings on SDR will have different settings save from HDR on, If you run HDR will have other settings save. So you can have two options SDR and HDR settings for saves. Great right? ---- Like Viktor say: You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals! By Viktors Reality Name KZbin video: ODYSSEY NEO G8 4K 240hz CoreSync XBOX Cyberpunk 2077 --- Make sure change " OnScreen Display " > " Display Time " to 200 sec You should know they all my settings Picture Mode like Custom, FPS, RTS and ect ect mean just like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Just pick what fit well for right now. So this all my favorite settings list for SDR and HDR -------------------------------- This one settings is good when someone is tired on the eyes or feel too strong for light.

[@destroy-erase-improve9106]

Both the Neo G7 & Neo G8 are both 2000 nits brightness. Although, apparently neither reach this brightness. Hardware unboxed could only get about 1200 nits out of them. The only differences between these 2 panels is the refresh rate, anti glare coating & the colour on the rear of the monitor.

[@JoeSnuffyPC]

The anti glare is a very noticeable difference to me. And that Hardware unboxing guy had issues with his own panel. He had a bad panel and got super salty about it. Sounded way more bias than actual comparisons from last gen and current g7
