Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD) Review : The Ultimate 27-inch 360Hz Gaming Monitor ?

Definitely giggled at 2:18 lol. Great review!

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

😅😂😂 Thanks lol felt like I should leave it there

[@rowofdwarfbean3629]

Best edit policy, made me watch to the end. Besides that, I got a lot from your video, wasn't 100% on splashing out on an OLED yet or waiting and this made my mind up (always remember folk, with pc gaming, there is never a good time to upgrade, apart from the rare occasion hindsight says otherwise) My jaw dropped more from IPS to OLED than it did from my move from console to PC. Gen 2 OLED monitors are worth being off the weed for 3 months... do buy one!

[@TranceCore3]

Everyone needs an OLED, glossy or matte, IDC your preference, but you need an OLED.

[@yzuniga13sa]

Ive had both matte and glossy, i prefer glossy QDOLED because color vibrance, my WOLED was brighter, but no way in hell I'm ever going back to LCD for my main display.

[@Muksex]

What do you use if your gaming pc is also your workstation? Are oled still good?

[@don.timeless4993]

how to distenguish between Gen 2 & Gen 3 of this monitor ?

[@ZWortek]

Sent my PG279QM for RMA and got this monitor to try it out and it's buggy as hell and alt-tabbing sucks. The actual performance of the panel is pretty good but it's just wild that simple stuff like alt-tabbing, turning my PC on, and playing certain games causes so many input warnings/popups, scaling issues, and weird stuff. On the positive side, with color space on auto (clamps to sRGB), I was able to calibrate the monitor pretty well with my colorimeter and it looks great. I was also surprised to learn that OLED panel brightness hits different than LCD brightness. The G6 measures around 250 nits (with my calibration) but looks way brighter than my other monitor at 400 nits. Probably going to return it though because it has some obnoxious issues.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Thanks for sharing your feedback ! I get what you mean about the OLED panel brightness looking brighter to other panels. I think it has something to do with the fact that it doesn't use a backlight.

[@MrIndi98]

That alt tab black screen is cause of dsc

[@ZWortek]

@@MrIndi98 Interesting, is that a OLED monitor with DSC issue? Got the PG27AQN instead and DSC doesn't seem to be a problem on this monitor.

[@junyaiwase]

i bought this and it's cool but i returned it because the subpixel layout makes text and lighter backgrounds look all green and purple otherwise pretty cool monitor but if you care about using this outside of gaming this will be a dealbreaker

It is due to calibration. I think they fixed this, not all modes were affected, but i had mine calibrated

I personally have not, doesn't make any noise to me. That said you're not alone, and that kind of coil whine can be on a sample to sample basis.

[@Math55ification]

Thanks for the review! I'm looking to buy my first OLED monitor and am really torn between this G6, the Alienware AW2725DF and the LG 27GS95QE-B. If it's not asking too much, what would you (or anyone here) recommend for mixed use between office work (programming/spreadsheets), gaming and media comsumption?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I would personally lean towards LG 27GS95QE-B because I prefer the menu system. The stand on the G6 though is so much better, but it wouldn’t matter if you’re going to use a monitor arm anyway. Alienware uses semi-gloss which looks the best, but it may not be the best for your setup. On my latest review, I compare a gloss and matte screen I would recommend checking it out (PG32UCDM REVIEW)

[@brokejaw]

I have LG C2 42", its been great.

[@kjrayo18]

Got the 4k version of this monitor for both pc and ps5 man it’s 🔥 way better then my aw3423dwf and the new dell 3225 which I returned. I suggest you get the 4k version you would go back to 1440p

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I personally prefer 4K as well ! But 1440P for gaming is still very popular because most GPUs can't run 4K optimally, and since PC graphics have higher fidelity options and higher FPS than PS5, most prefer 1440P at max settings and/or higher FPS

[@homerthompson6028]

[@yzuniga13sa]

GSYNC compatible is the same as having full GSYNC. Doesnt need further support or update.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

G-SYNC compatible is something NVIDIA has to officially certify, otherwise in the control panel it will say "detected display is not validated as G-SYNC compatible " it doesn't mean it wouldn't work. NVIDIA has a list they update for monitors they certify

[@yzuniga13sa]

@FIREWOLFTECH that's what mean. It's full GSYNC accept NVIDIA hasn't officially said "yea we certified this model" it's the same thing that's why nobody other than a few very expensive models get this useless certification from NVIDIA.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Yeah but full G-SYNC means it has a module. There’s G-SYNC ultimate, G-SYNC, and then G-SYNC COMPATIBLE. Now I understand that it’s “useless” but then again, why would they add it on G80SD and not the G60SD. These are things from a marketing perspective you would want to have.

[@yzuniga13sa]

@FIREWOLFTECH not really, as long as it says gsync compatible you're good, it will work perfectly with nvidia cards. You can of course pay the premium for the module and certification but won't make a difference. It's like comparing windows pro plus or whatever the top version is to the cheapest version, won't make a difference in gaming performance. It's just like you said pure advertising tactics.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

@@yzuniga13sa but it doesn't say G-Sync Compatible anywhere for the G60SD. The point is, having NVIDIA certify it does give you reassurance that your NVIDIA card will have no issues when you enable G-SYNC. You just said "as long as it says gsync compatible you're good, it will work perfectly with nvidia cards" Since this G60SD doesn't say or have that, a lot of consumers might gravitate to another monitor that is certified for G-SYNC

I'm confused. Can you help me choose the best option between Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD) or Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG 26.5? I see that you had both Samsung and Asus, and I ask you to help me make the right choice. This is confusing to me. that Samsung has a matte screen, and that its stated brightness and gamma are lower than those of Asus, is this very critical or not noticeable? Asus impresses with its glossy finish, while Samsung has a very beautiful design. Is there a big difference in technology between Asus and Samsung or are they technologically the same? I want to buy a monitor for streaming, which of the two options is better? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Both monitors are amazing and have pros and cons so it really depends on your own preferences. It's important to note that G6 uses Samsung QD-OLED while AQDM uses LG WOLED. The first thing you really need to weigh is whether you want a matte display or glossy display. Because glossy is stunning and beautiful, and if you want that, then AQDM is better. If you decide that you rather go with matte, then a better comparison would be G6 vs LG 27GS95QE. Both are amazing !

[@coldenross]

@@FIREWOLFTECH I only had matte monitors, and it’s hard for me to imagine glossy ones, because I didn’t have them. Please answer one more question: is there a noticeable difference in the picture and color rendition between a matte and glossy screen?
