Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD) Review - Sets Itself Apart From the Competition?

[@rockyyz89]

love this monitor, gives me the best of both worlds, qd oled but really usable in a bright room due to the coating!

[@RTINGSComputer]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! 😄

[@MakeSh00t]

i have that monitor and i can tell you it looks better at day and light vs 2022 QD Va panel 32 inch 240hz and its matte to.. no where close.... like there is no light at all or day u can see everything on monitor normal. It does not have color fringing at all QD va looks worse.. i have 0 issue with motion handling where games gets 120 fps 140 fps...VRR on. Vsync on and reflex nvidia ultra np. I had problem when i get 1st day monitor i had eye strain to full and there was no way to play normal, and they changed the motherboard of the monitor now i have 0 eye strain. And there no motion problem - ghosting at all at 60hz like he says... it is impossible to see like i had with tn or va panel Ghosting..

[@kinghadu9611]

​@@RTINGSComputerrtings is a disgrace, trying to claim that matte coating is better than glossy in bright rooms but completely fail to mention the fact that matte washes out the image completely destroying OLED purpose. We have every phone under the sun using glossy coating and nobody complains but as soon as it comes to PC monitors suddenly there is an issue? Ooh please there is nothing controversial here, glossy coating is objectively superior to matte because it doesn't obstruct light from coming through the screen You can fix glossy reflection by using a curtain but you cannot fix matte nasty haze and sparkle and washed out image no matter how much curtain you use Stop propping up this horrid coating you don't see TV or smartphones with this nasty coating

[@MakeSh00t]

@@kinghadu9611 Glossy coating is worse at day than matte i have 2 oled glossy and matte Glossy W-oled QD matte.... i use for gaming matte.

[@El-Fartomatic]

⁠@@kinghadu9611Ive had my G60SD for 2 months. The coating has helped a lot for me when using it during the day. The change from a glossy a90j tv to this monitor with the matte coating isnt all that different when night viewing. The tv can be pretty much unusable during sunset hours when the sun shines directly into the house. I can continue to use the monitor under those same conditions. Just my $.02

I was very worried about the matte coating comments, but after buying the product, I saw that all of them were empty comments and I discovered what a great thing the matte coating is while playing games during the day, the colours are perfect with brightness, brightness, vividness, everything is a perfect screen, the only problem is that 360 hz did not make that much difference for me, the difference felt minimal, my previous screen was 165 hz 2k ips and 4k samsung c90 oled 55 inc, the colours are better than all of them, I can play even story games on g6.

[@diegolce]

about 90% of this comments are about LG WOLED MATTE against SAMSUNG QD OLED GLOSS, but when you compare the same panel with different coatings. they are not very different and this matte coating is impressively good. not like the lg stuff at all i also bought one and im in love. the window is right in front the screen, behind me and thats bothered me a lot with gloss coating from another monitor that i have

[@NATESUCKSATGAMING]

Maybe you are justifying the high price but when you look at this monitor next to anything glossy it doesn't look as good with ambient lights It's about halfway between a high quality miniLED and a glossy oled. Which is kinda crazy when you're paying $700 for an oled that doesnt oled. In a dark room its awesome. im not sure how you came to the conclusion but ive look at this next to 10 other monitors with various combinations of tech in a well lit demo room. It doesn't look great.

[@Tope92]

@@NATESUCKSATGAMING I'm thinking about buying this monitor as it will probably be one of the cheapest QD-OLEDs they sell here. Some stores started their black friday sales already and it's 629€. I tried looking for the other QD-OLEDs too, but seems none of them are on sale like Alienware AW2725DF (929€), Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 (949€) and MSI MPG 271QRX (989€). I also checked 240Hz monitors like Asus XG27AQDMG (799€) and MSI MAG 271QPX (835€) but no luck there either. I'm currently using LG27GP850-B so any OLED monitor will probably be an upgrade.

[@Gvidonius]

​@@NATESUCKSATGAMING What looks great?

[@Mattaiu]

I’ve had zero issues since I got it. I’m in a dark room, there is barely any natural light due to being in the basement, and I only play in the dark anyways. I upgraded from a 1080p IPS pannel, so obviously the picture will be better no matter what, but personally, I love the monitor.

[@SHWT1M3]

Thank you for this one no one was doing Samsung g60.

[@320jasont]

Just got this for 600 bucks at best buy. Which I was willing to go up to for the feature set. I've got it up an hour ago and next to my 27" IPS the black level and just general lack of glow coming off it is just so instantly noticeable. Can't say much about the rest of the monitor but that initial impression really is hugely positive if you're new to the tech or have only seen it on a phone like myself.

[@Shuseff]

i love mine lol

[@Sanyifashion]

I've just bought the G6 OLED, but G60SU (LS27DG600SUXEN, perhaps this is the EU version?) and I have to say it's a solid OLED monitor, the deep blacks and the picture quality is awesome. The anti-reflection coating is superb, it's a lot better than what I've seen on my previous (and current) IPS displays. It does have some problem detecting the video signal from my laptop when it's on standby mode, I have to turn it on with the button, so the laptop would recognize that it's there... but other than that, it was a great choice, no regrets.

[@dibs6579]

There is an option in the OSD for auto-detect for some reason mine was off by default, try turning it on to see if it helps

I'm so pleased to see a professional video on this monitor. I made a video on it when I got mine but I'm no expert

[@louisfriend9323]

Colours themselves are just so much brighter on QD OLED vs WOLED, that the raised black levels in a bright room don't matter as much. You also don't see that QD OLED purple glow in most content, unless watching very dark scenes in a bright room, why would you do that? TFT Central did some great research into this. In short, the coating doesn't matter as much as the OLED type (QD or W), for black levels. Reflections can be annoying, but only with incorrect light/window placement (in front of the monitor).

[@kylitrixgames4980]

Bruh the coating is amazing

[@josephandres9037]

Is the text clarity blurry enought to not buying it?

[@Eusebiugh]

I tried dell 360 oled. Couldn’t stand with the black dots that appear randomly when i change my head position. Dell told me it is normal and its the subpixel or something about qd oled. Also the edges are not even because the pixel shift move and it t annoyed me very mut not being simetric

[@fatihaydn2319]

Please make a video about this!!! I watched the reviews and bought this monitor recently. However, while playing Call of Duty MW3 at 360hz 10bit HDR in Fullscreen modes the monitor went black randomly. It really bothers me. I got killed because this issue several times. It is not acceptable for competitive gaming. I hooked the monitor to my gpu (RTX 4070 ti) through Displayport. I searched online for the issue. Many people says that the problem stems from DSC. I don't know the cause. Is it the monitor or the gpu? Also, as I also see in the comments, the monitor does not wake up from standby mode. I had to hard reset the PC. It doesn't detect a signal from the PC. I don't know what to do. Should I return or keep it? Please address this issue!

[@klausfaerevaag]

Use hdmi. More bandwidth!

[@fatihaydn2319]

The colors take some getting used to, and I recommend playing around with the color settings. I wouldn't say it's a $800 upgrade over the pg27aqn. Definitely wait for the 480hz oled to get back in stock and just pay the extra $200 for that. If you can get it cheap with discounts and on top of that sell your aqn, so the upgrade costs overall like $100 to $300, then it's worth it. For me, im returning the monitor because i dont think it's a $800 upgrade. Im going to wait for 480hz.
