At IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany, Samsung Electronics has introduced the Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB), a new high-end addition to the Odyssey family that will further solidify the Odyssey’s position as the industry leader. The Odyssey OLED G8 will be the company’s first OLED gaming monitor. It is 34 inches wide and very thin and comes equipped with a brilliant OLED panel paired with Quantum Dot Technology that delivers brilliant brightness as well as a host of high-end gaming features like an incredibly fast 0.1ms response time as well as a 175Hz refresh rate. Earlier, Samsung’s Odyssey G70B UHD 144Hz and G65B QHD 240Hz smart gaming monitors were announced.
The new 34-inch Odyssey OLED G8 has the
thinnest part of 3.9 mm and a sleek aluminium frame. The monitor delivers
genuine RGB and true black for optimal colour accuracy and brightness without a
colour filter. The lighting is controlled by pixels with a near-infinite
contrast ratio. The ultra-wide QHD (3,440 x 1,440), 100% colour volume, and
DCI-99.3% colour gamut gaming monitor has a 21:9 aspect ratio. Furthermore, it
offers a million-to-one static contrast ratio and a 1800-degree curvature to
increase immersion.

features. First, the OLED monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black Certified,
ensuring realistic colour and contrast. The Odyssey OLED G8 has a fast response
time and refresh rate, and it also has AMD FreeSync Premium to make games run

entertainment, and lifestyle features. Samsung Gaming Hub is built into the
