***** 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.

Nice job

[@platinumiceo]

Do you know how to make dynamic resolution an option?

[@ahmadsultankadir1]

No, sorry

[@3choblast3r4]

hahah bro I see your comment under every video about the screen. Seems like you're just as obsessive about watching videos about stuff you buy or are waiting for to be delived as I am. I commented before that there is no way that you'd ever need 70 saturation on any screen (unless it's broken) and you replied saying you were using 50/58 now :) If anyone is having issues where their desktop looks unsaturated and ugly, that's because you have HDR turned on and windows does not have proper hdr for the desktop etc. But if you actually watch a HDR or play a HDR game, (or connect your ps5 and try hdr on that) you will see that HDR works as it should and the colors are properly saturated. When I connect my laptop to my TV which has incredible HDR, and turn on HDR the desktop looks horrifically ugly, unsaturated etc. But when I open my browser and check a HDR video through my laptop on my TV it looks absolutely stunning as it should. This is a winddows issue not an issue with the screen.

[@TheBeatboxHitmanTwo]

My neo g7 odyssey doesn't have as much backlight glow as yours but maybe it's the camera?

I use the screws from the stand that come with g8

[@bro_what9326]

Great video! Ive done hours of research and this is by far the best one ive seen. I just have one question, would i be able to use a bolted stand or wall stand for the monitor? 😊

[@3choblast3r4]

The monitor supports a VESA mount. Not sure if that's what you mean, but any wall mount that is VESA should work. Alternatively you can use one of those mounting arms. That's what I'm maybe planning on doing. My desk is only 60cm deep, which is normally enough but the legs of this monitor are so large I'm worried it will take up too much space on my desk and push my mouse and keyboard back. That said, make sure to get a very good mount because the screen is pretty heavy and also curved, the curve makes the weight distrubition weird. I would get a mount that supports at least 20kg so you're certain it won't ever fail on you. Also one that has no plastic hinges or pieces. I'm waiting for mine to arrive, but when it does I will check if it takes up too much space and buy an arm if I need too.

[@platinumiceo]

Why was dynamic resolution grayed out and how to make it and option.

[@goodguyfromnyc]

whats the monitor arm stand called

[@3choblast3r4]

P.s. this video has made me want to build a pc. I recently started playing with mouse and keyboard on ps5 (Warzone). But now I'm realing how few games support it and I don't want to go back to controller lol. So I looked up the price of a 4090. Figured I might build a nice PC to go with my nice new monitor, future proof it a little so I can run games max/high graphics @1440p for a while. I mean my laptop with a 4060 was 1100 so I figured a 4090 would be 500/600 ... it's 2100/2500 euro. What the actual FK. A 4070 TI is 900/1100. Holy fk man. And these cards are barely better than a 3000 card. But there is no way I'm buying a 3000 because those don't have DLSS + frame gen. My 4060 laptop with a I7 12700h runs robocop rogue city max graphics and max ray tracing @ 1080p around 90/100fps purely because of frame generation and dlss. Even though it sucks that it's not actually the card's performance and AI trickery, I still woudln't want to give that up since I imagine most if not all new games will have frame gen going forward.\ anyway, guess I'm sticking to mouse and keyboard for now

I just returned mine , not worth it at that price . The stand is the worst ever, you need to disable free sync if you have an nvidia card when enabling 240 hz, I did not realize that and kept getting blank screens flickering on and off. My set had other little problems that I just packed the monitor and sent it back. I did not feel it.. due to cost.

sorry to hear that, i feel you👍. The price is high indeed. and maybe it's not suitable for every pc.
