    Even if I had nothing good to say about Samsung, I couldnt hate this monitor if I tried. This monitor is ideal as an HDR panel and in video games this produces incredibly immersive images. The monitor is bright. For indoor(normally lit). Almost too bright (but you can cap the brightness). In daylight, the monitor is fine due to matte. The second you turn off one source, this thing goes back to being an amazing Tizen Oled. The processing speed is unlike anything ive seen from any streaming device. And I also own a great Nvidia Shield TV. Upscaling for old content is top notch. The audio level always seems to be perfect due to AI. The built in speakers (while loud) have a very limited frequency response. Guessing like 300hz and up but I cant be sure. I got it for 780 open box. Dont hate me hate the game.

    Decent monitor. I was aware of the smart features, so I feel I can't be too critical of them. But I sure did not like them. I was using this is a monitor and having to swap to the PC and get 2 pop ups, that you need the remote to remove or have your screen half blocked for like 15 seconds, got old fast. I had some issues too with 3 pink 0's popping up as an overlay more than once, I don't know how they appeared and only went away after unplugging the monitor for a few minutes. Nice screen though, the matte coating is actually not bad and grainy like some and really helped with the light in my room. If you have a bright room and want a 4K OLED this is the one. I returned mine in the end just because it wasn't what I wanted. But if you have a bright room and like smart features, this is the 32" 4K monitor to get.

    This monitor is just simply amazing. I spent a lot of time looking at different YouTube videos on several different monitors.I was looking to not only upgrade but, get something that would be great for years to come. Being disabled and having to go purely based on videos and pictures left me with high expectaions and hope that I am making the right choice in purchasing this monitor. I am happy to say it ticks every box I have in looking for a gaming monitor but, it is also a smart TV with amazing features on that side too. Just simply incredible. If you are looking to buy it then do so. You will not be disappointed.

    The Samsung 32 Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) is an impressive gaming monitor. It has magnificent 4K UHD image quality with vibrant colors. The 240Hz refresh rate provides an ultra-smooth gaming experience. The HDR support enhances details in shadows and bright lights, taking the visual quality to another level. I loved its elegant silver design. Definitely, it’s an excellent investment for gamers looking for exceptional performance. Highly recommended!

    Amazing Picture - Annoying Smart Features

    Trust Samsung for their displays. Colors are vibrant and OLEDs are amazing with contrast ratio. Tried out a few 4k demo reels on YouTube and I was so impressed by the picture quality at this price point. (got mine for about $200 off so even better) That being said. Samsung...Please stop forcing the smart TV OS onto things that are supposed to be gaming monitors. The amount of clicks I have to go through to change the output to my work PC is absurd because I have to have this whole menu that I didn't ask for. Why would I want to install Netflix and Apple TV apps on a screen that's going to be hooked up to a PC at all times? Why are you asking me to connect my monitor to WiFi? Why does my iPhone constantly see it as a bluetooth device to pair to? It's clunky, unnecessary, and annoying.

    I first experienced samsungs QD-OLED technology with an alienware 34inch monitor. Then I found an awesome deal for a 49inch monitor at Sam’s by MSI, unfortunately the aspect ratio was battling with my GPU for some reason. So I decided to try out LGs 39inch UWQHD W-OLED monitor, and man… HDR looked absolutely terrible. So just in the nick of time, I traded in that LG for this samsung monitor and the HDR reproduction and 4K was absolutely mind blowing. The smart features are plus, but im a PC gamer so i dont use it much as a mini TV. But gaming on this thing is absolutely amazing. I LOVE IT, and if you have the buying power I COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH. You need a 4k, High refresh rate, OLED monitor with awesome HDR, built in speakers, and as an extra can serve as a personal smart TV, then this is your monitor.

    Purchased returned ooen box. Monitor graphics is next level & smart TV functionality is amazing. In game, sun glare is so real that I feel like I need sunglasses... My only complaint is that the monitor it's difficult to set up to default to p c only. It does black screen every once in a while to recalibrate color based on room dynamics, but it chooses inconvenient times. The screen is super sensitive to cleaning.

    Stunning quality. This is admittedly my first OLED monitor so I cannot compare this to others as well as the first monitor I've bothered using HDR on. The remote is surprisingly convenient I rarely use the TV features or the speakers, but they're not bad. I used to have almost daily brief black screen flashes, but they're pretty rare now. I have no idea what the cause or the fix was. I did admittedly get a replacement HDMI cable, but I felt like it only slightly reduced the frequency initially.

    Love this monitor! Took all of five minutes to setup and works well for both Mac and PC. Waking from sleep on Mac can be kind of a pain occasionally, but I haven’t had that problem at all on PC. You’ll need to use DisplayPort to get refresh rates higher than 60hz on M1 Macs, though.

    I’m not sure why this monitor received anything less than five stars. I bought an LG OLED and returned it for an MSI OLED then returned my MSI for this monitor. This monitor is absolutely perfect and it gives you additional features. It’s a smart TV. HDR is great but SDR is a perfect 10 out of 10. Go to rtings and find the calibration settings.

    I really like the physical design of this monitor. It is sleek and has a small footprint. The display itself is crisp and beautiful. But that's really where the praise stops. The built-in Samsung Smart TV apps are intrusive, not necessary, and actively make the monitor harder to use...as a monitor. The built-in speakers also emitted a high-pitched whine when not in use. Just mute it, right? Wrong. Muting causes a big mute icon to bounce around your screen in random places (to avoid burn-in) and never goes away. A clear anti-feature. I know some like the matte finish, but all my lighting is upward facing, so I don't ever deal with display glare and really can't say as the matte finish made any discernable difference for me. Also, tuning the color calibration was extremely difficult due to the awful OSD menus and general cumbersome need to use a remote to navigate everything. The updated 2025 model removes the Smart TV functionality entirely. Go with that one instead.

    My 1st ever oled and its beautiful. Never going back. This monitor is also a tv which is cool. 4k at 200+ fps is so good. The colors and brightness really pop even if the room is bright. 0.03 ms response time is crazy. No glare at all and viewing angles is so cool.

    The Samsung 32” Odyssey QD-OLED G8 is a top-tier gaming monitor with stunning 4K visuals, super fast 240Hz refresh rate, and an ultra-responsive 0.03ms response time. The QD-OLED screen makes colors pop with deep blacks and bright highlights, perfect for gaming and movies. It also has smart features, so you can stream shows without needing a PC or console. The sleek silver design looks great, and it has plenty of ports for easy setup. Just keep in mind that OLED screens can get burn-in if you leave static images on too long. Overall, if you want crazy smooth gameplay and amazing picture quality, this monitor is worth it—though it comes at a high price.

    It is really a dumb idea for a monitor to be smart. It feels like you bought a very expensive 32 inch smart TV with all the features you never asked for, which you also truly don't want. Especially when the user interface and experience is absolutely abhorrent. Too bad because the screen quality is actually very cool. I had to return it because the "smart" firmware made the monitor hard to use for dumb professional work.

    Very nice monitor. The monitor itself looks amazing and the picture looks really nice. The only downside, I bought it for productivity, the picture does not go as bright vs my other monitors. It somehow looks darker than the others no matter I set it up. Also I want a monitor to just turn on and get straight to business, the interface is more of a TV than a monitor. I could have given it 5 stars if it werent for that.

    Amazing OLED display, quirky software

    What's great: 1. This is an amazing OLED screen with crisp colors and deep blacks. 2. 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time are great for videos and gaming. 3. Samsung's Tizen OS smart features as a TV work well with all major streaming services. 4. Good for users who want to use it as a computer monitor occasionally and use gaming and smart TV features. 5. Has seamless HDMI ARC for connecting to sound bars / receivers. 6. Might be able to find a good deal on price if you watch for specials. 7. Integration with Samsung SmartThings. 8. Easy setup if you already have a Samsung phone. 9. Cons: 1. Biggest issue is buggy software, especially if you switch frequently between PC/Mac monitor and smart TV. Looses computer connection frequently. 2. Mac doesn't work well with HDR. It's a pain to keep adjusting brightness manually. 3. Occasional Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Wish it has a RJ45 network port, being a smart TV. 4. High latency to switch between two different computers. 4. Brightness in bright rooms can be an issue, especially in TV mode. 5. Watch out for privacy issues with Bixby and Alexa voice assistants. 6. Poor built in audio for the size. 7. Poor placement of controls. Overall, if you are looking for a hybrid Smart TV that you could occasionally use as a monitor, it can serve well. But if you switch frequently and want to use Mac + PC options, it's not a good fit. I hope Samsung does a better job in the next iteration, even if it takes placing controls more ergonomically and adding an extra port for network.
