Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SB, 34"

Ein exzellentes Bild; schickes Design und einzigartige Smart-Features machen den Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 zu einem der besten QD-OLED-Displays auf dem Markt. Wenn nur die wenigen untypischen Anschlüsse und die umständlichen Menüs nicht wären.

Samsung's G8 OLED gaming monitor is a versatile 34-inch ultra-wide display that would be best enjoyed by a gamer who plays a variety of games and also does some word-processing tasks.

The idea of using a television as a computer monitor is nothing new. Many users do this today and enjoy the benefits of a large screen along with streamed movies and TV shows. But not everyone wants to sit three feet away from a 55-inch panel. And if you want high refresh rates and Adaptive-Sync for PCs with DisplayPort, a dedicated gaming screen is the only way to go. Samsung has managed to pack a TV and a high-performance gaming monitor into the OLED G8. Physically, it’s a gaming monitor with its 34-inch curved screen and WQHD resolution. The 175 Hz refresh rate is fast enough for perfect motion resolution and input lag is low enough to qualify for competition. Adaptive-Sync works equally well for AMD and Nvidia platforms and there’s no need for tricks like overdrive or strobing. It, like every OLED I’ve reviewed, delivers a next-level gaming experience. The best part about the OLED G8 is image quality. With a huge color gamut, perfect accuracy out of the box and infinite contrast, the picture is just stunning. It makes gaming addictive and it’s great for watching movies and TV shows; which you can do easily thanks to the Smart TV feature built right in and the handy remote control. The OLED G8 is a great all-in-one desktop entertainment solution.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is the fourth QD-OLED ultrawide we've looked at so far, after the two Alienware models and the newly released variant from MSI, so plenty of interesting comparison data to get to in this review – plus a few unusual findings.
