I was really happy with mine to, I still donr regret my upgrade to 4k qd oled tho, it just looks better, and 3 year warranty on burn in is nice, but the g8 was honestly really good to
Yeah, I have to go to LED. I play a lot of World of Warcraft and this has much static elements. I want to keep my monitor 4-5 years. I dont see it with an oled.
What about QA? Do you have dead pixels? Are they common? Are there issues with the panel detaching from the monitor (this previously was an issue with Odyssey monitors). Please let me know if you somehow find out about it.
I bought this monitor for gaming and WFH. Didn't want to go for oled due to the WFH part. Too much risk of burn in. It's been great for both. And I do game on it competitively and it has been going great, but that's because I have the proper hardware to run stuff at 4k @ 240fps. The responsetimes are amazing when you turn off adaptive sync. Which to be fair you're not going to need anyway at these kinds of high framerates.
Hey Rohan, Thanks for doing this video. I am in the process of deciding between this 4K 32" monitor and a 1440p OLED 34" monitor. The other monitor I am looking at is the Alienware AW3423DWF 34" LED with a display resolution of 3440 x 1440. They are both curved. I will be using if for home productivity and gaming. I have been using a curved monitor for the past three years and I really like it. I'm not doing competitive gaming, just things like Doom Eternal, Tome Raider series, Spiderman etc. My question for you is, in your opinion, would it be better - say for the next 5 years, to go with an OLED with vibrant colors and a wide but shorter screen or go with a 4K with really good colors and a boxier screen? BTW, you are so right about the stand . . . come on Samsung! (not a deal breaker for me).
7:34 This isn't true. Hardware Unboxed got 2.5 ms while using VRR on this monitor, and HUB is known as one of the best when it comes to monitor reviews.
You cant really copy color settings between monitors since they all vary, even same model. You could copy some settings, but not color settings. Thats why monitor calibration tools exist.
The neo G8 samsung mini LED much brighter and Vivd color, and the black looks great also, i would go with Mini LED always for bright image and better white color.
I had the 49" G9 and the cheap white plastic wobble is a lot worse with that size of a screen. It ended up being the reason I dont have that giant thing any more. Samsung is very very picky about internal scratches. Anyways, I am considering this but it feels so gimmicky and dated. Gaming doesn't have to be clunky and glowing. I want the pro monitor aesthetics (often aimed at Mac designers) but with the gaming 4k refresh rates. It's kind of a bummer trying to decide as my Acer shorts out randomly during my quest. Good vib, +sub
If I just use this for console gaming, will I see the scan lines, only reason why I'm asking is because I read the scan lines come when running anything at 240hz
Actually it depends on the game, I have it and there’s this weird issue where even though it can always do 4K at 240hz, there are some games where it will lock at 240hz for some weird reason. Very odd but still an absolute beast.
