Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) Review : The Ultimate 32-inch 4K Gaming Monitor ?

[@lego_minifig]

3 Weeks later and now I am in the same position. Now I am just binging reviews to experience it vicariously. I am excited to see how OLED looks on something larger than a phone. Then I should also know if devices like the Steam Deck OLED are worth the hype mid-generation haha. Not that I can afford one now that I snagged this display. I just spent the last 6 hours moving around all my displays and cable managing to prep for it. While I am at it, I am deep dusting and prepping my whole studio space. Had to cut some wood to make a platform for my PC to go under my desk to make space for my old 27in 1440p 95hz monitor to go in portrait mode to the left. It should be better for Discord messaging and code/pdf viewing. I then traded out my bedroom and office TV since I no longer need a 4k overhead display for Discord and reference materials at my desktop. The 1080p one in my bedroom had developed a dead row of pixels so it's no longer good for watching movies, but it should still be good enough for multitasking reference materials in my office. And then I have my 22inch pen display to the right for graphic design and illustration work. I should have just enough space for the 32-inch magnum opus in the center as my main display. I am hyped. Unfortunately I will have to wait two days for the new monitor arm to arrive so my old 27-inch display will be kicked off its arm and leaning against the wall in the meantime.

[@gogosumer]

Hi everyone, I bought this monitor yesterday and as I am a real user, I would like to share my short experience regarding my 4 hours experience with samsung g80sd yesterday. There are positives and negatives of this monitor. I compared all the features with my 42 lg c2 which is 2 generation before of lg c series. Brightness: its hard to say that it is brighter than c2 because it depends on the scene changes and sometimes you feel c2 is brighter and sometimes you feel g80sd is brighter. Overall both are similar but samsung handling brightness better in dark parts that you can see more details bright without loosing colors. Black levels: Since both has similar technology but some differences, overall both gives you very good experience but sometimes you feel g80sd gives you grey shade of black because of matt coating and it disturb me sometimes but overall not that much. Since I am playing in dark room mostly its not an issue but when you have lights it become more grey. But again, this is small things not a big minus. Colors: I should admit that g80sd get win here with damm good colors. No further comment. Software: There are some points that you should consider on samsung is menü bar doesnt go away in a short time from the screen without pushing back button! Why! ? To me its annoying. Since both has similar smart feature c2 get win here. Using c2 is much easier. Only with one button you can reach game optimizer menu, its 2 more steps for samsung to reach that. Also after creating fine tune adjustments on samsung for each game mode, there is no easy way to choose and change game mode, you should do 2 more steps than lg c2! Sharpness: Clearly samsung is sharper than lg c2. But its not a day and night. I prefer samsung here, but again 1300€ in my country! Doesnt worth to me. Even I can go with c4 and most probably its better than c2 and closer to samsung sharpness but I know that mostly its because screen size. Samsung get win here. Black crushes: In dark scenes, switching from light to dark scenes there is a cloudy appreance on the scenes on every tv or monitor. For such scenes sometimes you can see square on the edge of the cloudy visual when scene running. This is ruining your picture quality and this is not hapening for every screen. On lg c2 I have it and I didnt succeed to reduce it. Bıt samsung doing a good job here and it is more smooth and sharpy. Samsung get win here. Maybe I called the issue wrong as black crushes but this is what happens. Summurizing; If this monitor would have been on price range like 600-700-800 € I could keep it. But with this price range(1300€) only for better colors, no way to keep. Over c2 it is more colorfull and sharper but not bright as expected and blacks are not good as c2 overall. I like colors, it really make difference but doesnt worth the price. Maybe I can spend 100€ or 200€ more over c2 for this but not 600/700€ more, no way. I will return it, I hope I can 😒

Thanks so much for your review ! I was exactly choosing between a C4 42" Oled and a 32" Samsung Oled. In Australia the price is higher for the Samsung but the C4 is very good for both PS5 and PC use. I think you are correct that the cost is too high especially when you can buy a C4 for $1300 and the Samsung is $2330

I have a question. Does your power cable not go all the way into the monitor? I just got mine today and when plugging it in it did sit flush on the monitor

[@francois-olivierhoizey7354]

Hi, thanks. About black levels, this is my reason of buying an OLED display. I watch movies in dark or dim light room. Should i worry about black levels for that use? Another question. If the screen is OFF, does it turn purpleish when room light is on (i will put that screen in my bedroom and don't whant to have a big purple rectangle in front of me when it is off and light is on). Thanks

[@piotrbiaas8119]

I think that Smart TV is great because streaming services rarely give you 4k and HDR in the browser. If you want to watch content 4K with HDR you need to read each service documentation on which browser is supported by them (yes browser, for example Netflix will give 4k HDR ONLY in EDGE), which system setting you must turn on, and if your cable supports version of HDCP they want. If you don't meet all their expectation you will get 1080 SDR which looks awful because of blacks not being HDR blacks (you get grey bars at top and bottom of movies). Many services wont give you 4k HDR or even 1080p HDR in browser and then you have to use ChromeCast or AppleTV device to use your OLED. Because of that if you want to watch movies I consider Smart TV to be a must have unless you want to buy separate device only for watching movies.

[@Andrew-tl9gk]

Out of all the monitors you have reviewed what would you personally pick as your daily monitor in your setup?

Hard to say, but for a 4K 32 OLED, I like the versatility of the LG 32GS95UE. Keep in mind I haven't tried the ASUS, MSI, or Auorus yet (will have it next week). As a daily monitor, a super ultrawide is my fave form factor, just need those resolutions to bump up to 2160P like the 57 neo, but in 49 or 38 inch😅

[@stevegomez232]

[@pistol27pete]

great review and I have this monitor too. I also don't really love the smart features. However, I think it is a good thing to have in case you ever upgrade down the road and this becomes a second monitor for you which you can also access content on. Personally, I put a Firestick 4k on it with the Kodi app so I have all the content I need. I am curious (maybe you could do another video with this) what your settings are for the G80SD for Gaming for like CoD? Also, do you ever use the Nvidia RTX HDR filter yet for this monitor which puts non HDR games into HDR?

[@Alex-tu5vu]

One thing that really annoys me is when I can't put the monitor 100% straight because it has this stupid tilt function without a locking mechanism. So please tell me, does this one lock or is it at least only tiltable to 180*? Because my G7 tilts to 182* or something like that which is SO stupid and annoying

[@darrylgraham2486]

It has arrived it took me some time to learn new stuff (i am old) I was nervous at first I thought i was making a bad mistake. I am very happy with this getting up to 500 FPS gaming. i do not regret getting this and the performance is way above what i expected.

[@rahuldharmendran2770]

what game do you play and at what resolution? Also can you tell me the pc specs if you want to. I am asking this because 500fps is a lot for 4k unless its a CPU heavy title like Valorant.

[@smellyfeet8838]

500 fps doesnt mean youll see 500 frames a second you know that right? youll get max 240 fps from this monitor because the refresh rate doesnt go any higher

I just ordered this. Wasnt aware it has a matte coating. It was 200 euro cheaper than the Alienware, and almost 500 euro cheaper than other 4k Oled monitors (using the same panel). I'll take the matte coating over the curve in the Alienware, so overall I'm pleased.

The burn in warranty is what i love and i love that it has its own set of cooling measures to make sure the monitor stays in good Condition especially me playing anywhere from 3+ hours on my days i got work and sometimes even 12+ hours on off days. I have always trusted in Samsung when it comes to stuff like this as their items they sell are built well and plan to last. Thank you for your true honest review :)

One of the really underrated feature on here is the 21:9 aspect ratio toggle. You get perfect 1600P scaling on ultrawide and can be used for competitive fps like CoD and it works a treat. The remote contol also makes this goated. This will be my endgame until it gives up the ghost.

Is the 21:9 ratio good on the g80sd? I intend to play horizon forbidden west on an ultra wide screen, do you recommend using the g80sd on an ultra wide or is it better for me to buy an ultra wide screen gaming monitor?

[@hinchlikescake7592]

​@@billmangindaan9086 Its fine but not that optimal for all games. Great for online/competitive titles as if gives you a big field of view, but using it will also make your viewing area quite small - akin to a 29" ultrawide (but much sharper). For singleplayer games like Horizon, I'd just opt for a regular 34" ultrawide screen if you intend to play games at 21:9. Less intensive on GPU as well since there's less pixels to run at 1440P ultrawide resolution.

There are. the MSI 322URX and the Aorus FO32U2P, both use the exact same samsung QD-oled panel as the G80SD but with some extra benefits like better warranties, some better specs, and a glossy finish instead of matte (if you prefer glossy). they're also usually cheaper depending on your region.

The only issue I have with this monitor is the standby mode, while I do understand that the monitor goes into standby mode to do a pixel refresh every 4 hours(?), it should completely turn off after. It's quite annoying having it on standby cause my PC would recognize the monitor and believe it's on and extending the display and randomly flashes my second monitor for some reason. Other than that I think this is the best display of all 4k 240hz consider the price and features included. They also include 3 year burn in warranty in my country (Sweden). Somehow the warranty is 3 year instead of 2 that they market if you register the monitor.

[@dragoonxgamer]

I am thinking to buy this monitor but i have heard that it some issues with the hdr and amd freesync premium pro which is not good for amd gpu i have a rx 6950xt

[@dragoonxgamer]

also i am consfused between 86.8cm (34") G8 OLED Gaming Monitor with 0.1ms response time and 175hz refresh rate and 80 cm Odyssey OLED G8 Gaming Monitor with 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms (GtG) response time I wanna go 4k but i also like ultra wide cant decide in between also this hdr issue with amd cards BRUH

[@jeromelim3341]

Can this be mounted with a monitor arm?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Yes it can Vesa 100 x 100

[@JTimbo007]

Is it nornal for this monitor to get a little bit hot around the Samsung logo at the botom?

[@herremilkanter]

I would say the monitor gets hot in general compared to my old backlit IPS, and that's probably by design. It has heatpipes running next to the panel to keep it cool inside, dumping the heat in to the aluminum casing and surrounding air.

[@20puskinas1992]

If it gets hot it mean that Samsung heatsink is doing great job at pushing heat away from the panel. Samsung says that their appraoch is best in bussines.

[@Assassunn]

this is curious bcs although it can reach 67kW/1000h with HDR on, this still is a very very low power consumption compared to let's say a fridge

[@aMp-]

How does it compare to Asus and LGs 32" flat 4K 240Hz QD-OLEDs? I got the money ready to buy, but dunno which one I should invest in. Will use for gaming (shooters, racing), Adobe suite, DAWs (Ableton, FL and Cubase), surfing and a lot of KZbin. I use my Audeze Maxwell wireless headset, so the speakers will not be used at all.

[@raulettari7149]

Does it happen to you too that when I activate HDR on COD the brightness drops a lot?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Yes, normally when you activate HDR the overall brightness drops a bit. That’s so far been the case to a lot of the monitors I test out

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

You could also try image calibration on the COD menu to see if it’ll brighten the whole image

[@raulettari7149]

No, I tried but it doesn't change anything

[@raulettari7149]

but why does this happen? It works great with my LG C2 TV and is super bright

i cant decide between this one and the alienware AW3225QF for gaming and watching movies using xbox series X

[@Assassunn]

the samsung is the alienware but 200 bucks cheaper and with AI integrated, which is definitely a plus if you use SmartTV apps like Netflix, it will upscale to 4K with the AI :) so your choice should be straightforward, also this is what a pro test concluded

[@bagerklestyne]

I spoke to Samsung in Australia and they told me it does NOT cover burn-in in the warranty. If you're getting one and they say it does, get it in writing.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

It's on Samsungs website (USA), they now have it say that they cover burn in. A warranty is going to cover defects, and burn in is a defect within that period. As long as it's through normal use, you should be covered

In your opinion, which one is better between asus pg32ucdm monitor and samsung odyssey g80sd? Your opinion is important to me because you have experienced both.

[@kekplexis]

The main difference is that asus is glossy and samsung is matte

[@rahuldharmendran2770]

As far as i have seen buy the asus if you use your monitor in a bright room with many lights or in the day and the samsung if you use it in a dark room. This is because of 2 issues: 1. Matte coating in samsung( doesnt show reflections of you on the screen but reduces the intensity of the light produces by the oled panel) and glossy coating in asus ( shows reflection but does not reduce intensity of light and shows you true oled colors). 2. low brightness in samsung( you get 230-250 nits in sdr and 350-375 nits in hdr) whereas asus is way brighter( close to 300 nits in sdr and close to 350 nits in hdr). The brightness they say for the asus one as 1000 nits is just at few areas of the screen( like 2-10% of screen). you would have to compare them yourself or watch videos to see if you could actually see the difference between the matte and glossy finish but the samsung's low brightness makes it bad in day time. I have not seen or tested this monitors but this is what I learnt from other reviews and other g80sd and pg32ucdm users opinions from youtube and reddit.

[@kekplexis]

@@rahuldharmendran2770 this is not correct. Samsung is designed to be able to be used in bright room or during the day because of its matte coating. Glossy monitors turn into a mess in the bright rooms.

[@rahuldharmendran2770]

@@kekplexis Samsung's matte coating will not look that good in daytime. It doesn't completely remove reflections. It just blurs it. I saw a review comparing aw3225qf vs g80sd by Ben geskin on KZbin. The reflections are shown in a few cases like his videos. Also the matte coating is not the main reason. The main reason is the very low brightness of 250 nits. You can't see well in daytime with 250 nits.

MSI and Aorus is sharper and more vibrant. The matte screen holds the samsung back. Have had all three. Love the samsung build but just isnt as detailed as the other two.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Those are the pros of glossier displays. As long as you have a good setup and good lighting control, then glossy is perfect ! But you got to understand why matte makes sense on like 90+ % of all monitor, and since G8 has a broader range (as in more consumers), a matte screen ensures that most won't have glare issues. It's great to have options though !

[@ryanbrowning5586]

@FIREWOLFTECH agree with that. I just found the samsung less sharper with small details. Didn't have that 3d look that 4k oleds have. Blacks were more grey. I loved the smart TV feature though..that part was amazing as was the build quality and looks of it. Wish they would give a glossy screen option. Would be all on it.
