I don't think you could go wrong with either. OLED imo, looks better color-wise but mini LED can get so much brighter. If you don't care about HDR content then I think OLED is the way to go unless you really want the 32" display size. @@djFreed
I only stumbled upon this channel now while doing some research on buying a new monitor and can't understand why it only has so few subscribers compared to how good the videos are. Keep up the good work man, you're gonna pop off soon! Really informative and the quality is great! Might have sold me on getting the G8 Neo
I always thought HDR was going to be a forgettable feature. Until I recorded something in HDR and was wow-ed by it. Games that can take advantage definitely look a lot better because the lighting looks realistic.
Oh and another thing to note, is that it's mini led and not OLED, so if you're using it for work too, it doesn't have burn in like the OLED monitors. I just ordered the G7 version bc I dont care about the 240hz, should be here tmr.
old video i know but 10 bit isn't just for colour banding, when using an 8 bit display if the game or video displays a colour or group of colours that is outside the range of 8 bit colour, the monitor will likely oversaturate the colours in the area making them blend into a single blob of 1 colour
I think the general consensus on glossy vs matte has shifted mostly to being glossy preferred. Matte has lost a lot of support especially when people realized how badly it affected contrast and clarity on OLEDs. Everywhere I go it feels like people are still crying out for more glossy displays.
I honestly thought it was just me but i totally agree. I wouldn't be upset to see more glossy options in the future especially now that more and more gaming monitors are using OLED or QD-OLED tech.
I'm loving mine so far! I hated the colors out the box but once I got my settings dialed in, I was very happy. I still have the plastic on mine, I haven't even bothered lol. Great Review!
Correction . The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is a 12-BIT display. You unlock it using HDMI 2.1 & selecting it in Nvidia Control panel. ALSO 12-bit color is marketed in Samsung's Odyssey Neo G8 Trailer " Highest 12-Bit Black Level"
Valid callout. 99% of people will likely not be able to notice the difference between 10 and 12 bit color (though Samsung only calls out 12 bit black levels) so I think the more reasonable conclusion is that the majority of people who purchase this display will use it in 10 bit. I can’t say I fully understand if Samsung is touting the G8 as having 12 bit color, since they only reference black levels. I haven’t personally used it over HDMI 2.1 so I can’t confirm but even if the control panel said “12 bit” I don’t think you could even tell the difference in color unless under specific conditions. Regardless, 10 or 12 bit will look better than 8 bit and that’s a difference you can see. Appreciate the callout.
That sticky plastic film on the back was the worst.😭😭😭 Imagine getting off of work at 4am to see your monitor had arrive. Of course you gonna be ready to set it up😃. Then you discover you need to take off a protective layer of the most stickiest substance known to man while everyone is sleeping. So you try to go as slow as possible. It sounded like I was ripping electrical tape off a cardboard box. It sounded like I was pulling out long strands of scotch tape.🫠🫠🫠 Then running it at 240 hertz to long introduces flickering and scan line that ghosted around the screen. The monitor is incredibly great except for that part. Any ideal on how to stop the flickering ghost scan lines? Maybe a stronger display cord?
Hi. Very nice review. I’m hesitating between the Alienware AW3423DWF for it’s glossy QDOLED and the neo G8 for it’s 4K. Which one would you pick if you have to choose one ? Thanks !
I made a review about the AW3423DW. I picked the G8 mainly for sheer pixel count and HDR capability. The AW is gorgeous but coming from a 4K monitor prior, the resolution on the AW for me was just too low. I noticed it pretty immediately.
I’m getting the Samsung G8 monitor today . I had the 32 inch LG ultra gear 950-b for like a month it was ok I was using it on my PS5 . so I decided to return it and get the G8 I’m hoping it’s a night and day difference between the two . I really hope I made the right (fingers crossed)
Glossy can be real nice when done right but if you have any bright lights behind you, you're screwed no matter what, but glossy tends to be a little worse.
Should I consider this monitor in 2024? Currently in my country it is available for the equivalent of $995. Also have any of the issues like scanlines gotten better over time with firmware updates?
I don't think I've ever had any issues with scanlines. I think it's definitely still a good pick in 2024 if you're looking for a great 4k display that can also handle gaming. The 32" size I think is perfect for most desks.
Would you choose this over the Samsung OLED (“34 ultrawide)?? Struggling to choose! Very similar to the Alienware, but seeing as they have the same panel, I prefer pretty much everything with the Samsung over the Alienware.
It really depends what you value most. If ultra wide and OLED are things you want, then yes. But if HDR and sheer resolution is what you want then the G8 Neo is a very solid choice imo. I’m sure you can’t go wrong with any one of them!
I am trying to start building a gaming setup in my room and productivity area as well. May I ask if the Neo G8 will be more value and good for future proofing ompared to Inzone M9? I’ve been seeing pros and cons for both monitors and was wondering if you have thoughts to this.
Haven’t used an Inzone M9 so I’m not sure. It seems the M9 is only 27”, 144hz, and HDR 600. Essentially a step down from the G8. The G8 right now is on sale for $972 making it less than $100 more than the M9 with a bigger display, higher refresh rate, and much better HDR performance. Imo, the G8 is a better buy if you’re in need of a 4k gaming monitor.
Good review, straight to the point. 👍 I been looking to buy this monitor now, since where I live the monitor is on sale by minus 479 dollars.. So it is a steal really, what we need to pay for the monitor at the moment is 750 dollars.! liked and subscribed. So that said I am buying it. Currently have a cheap 1440p monitor, but I do play simular games like you do, much single-player etc. As well I have a top-end pc I upgraded this summer, with an RTX 4090 and everything. Last thing I needed upgrade was monitor
Great video, been wanting to update my sons’s MSI screen and for his computer (running ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix V2 ) and PS5 gaming. Probably update the graphics card at some point but it’s what they used for his make-a-wish build 2 years ago, so it is what it is at this point. Really the only thing I never liked was the screen. Was thinking OLED but he likes to walk away and leave the screen on for hours until I notice it. So Samsung with epp discount has this display for between $522 to $549 depending on what appears to be time of day. For the price I’ll bite
I am late tk the party and k order the monitor to pair with PS5. Do i need to buy any special HDMI cables or adapter. If so, can you point me to right direction. thanks
Hey Tyler, I bought the Neo G8 half a year ago. I discovered what seem to be small bubbles in the Display. A couple milimeters wide and around 20ish all over the Display. I think they appeared over time, but i'm not Sure. Do you have a simmilar issue?
what if you tired of the hassle of sending oled back because image retention. I had a lots of oled but they all had image retention in desktop use. So what would be a good choice if you want hdr , good blacks and descent respond time/refrech rate HZ? i was thinking about a neo g7 because the g8 has lots of problems with scanline issues.
I picked up a G7 over a G8 and i dont regret it. They both the same panel except the 240 hz and the screen. The g8 is a little tad brighter but not worth 200$ over it.
Hi bro..shall i not regret buying this g8 even this is VA panel bcos i think IPS panel is better than va panel?? If i have this will it look like ips panel?
I originally thought the G8 was IPS but I recently was corrected. That being said- This display is incredible. There's no definitive answer on whether IPS is better than VA especially considering every brand does their own thing with it. You won't be disappointed with this monitor.
Have you had any flickering issues when gaming? I just purchased and now worried as I'm reading a lot online about flickering during fps drops and I'm mainly using it for my PS5 for now as I'm in process of buying PC setup.
Have you managed to set a custom refresh rate higher than 120 around 144 or 165? I've been trying to do so to increase the refresh rate but at the same time avoid the scanlines like the Neo G7. CRU and NVCP I don't believe is working for it.

Sure. I wouldn’t suggest this monitor for Switch though. You could find a much more affordable option for work and play in my opinion. However this monitor is a great choice if you’re able to run 4k.
Absolutely! COD will look AMAZING on this monitor. Especially since it can do 240hz. You may have to play with DLSS (I alway recommend it) but you should have no issues running multiplayer at a solid FPS in 4k. :)

@@insertnamehere4419 Which is why i got burn in on both LG CX and sold them before it was 2 late. OLED will get burn in its a matter of time .Retention can only go so far before burn in start to really happen
tough choice tbh. i’m not a huge fan of ultra wides but they are super nice. it depends on the software and if the ultra wide will let you use it like 3 displays side by side. for gaming though- I still think 16:9 is the most supported aspect ratio and usually looks best all around.
Not sure what you’re asking here but no, it’s not a TV. It’s just a display you hook to your computer. You could use it like a TV but it doesn’t have any apps built in like a smart TV would!
Valid point. However this is a gaming centric monitor. If I didn’t specifically call out a more generic feature like text quality or video playback it was probably totally fine. and for the G8 it was! text and everyday things look great. nothing to complain about. And yes it is on sale a lot these days!!
If you want HDR and 4k at high refresh rates, this one is it. If HDR isn’t important to you then I think you’ll be able to find less expensive 4k high refresh rate displays. Generally- in my opinion, the G8 Neo has been excellent minus the packaging.
It’s 2000nit PEAK brightness. This means at max it can hit 2000nits but not for an extended period of time. This is not the same as sustained brightness. Similar to power with peak wattage and continuous wattage.
@@XXIVCONCEPT Peak, for a limited time, under certain limited scenarios. It's flat out misleading. There is actually no such thing as HDR 2000. Its Samsung marketing, not a legit spec.

All Mini-LED displays encounter that. I personally am not bothered by the amount on this particular display. Can you notice it in certain scenarios? Yes. But is it enough to ruin your experience? No. The bias is that I unfortunately am not able to test 10+ displays at once. However I try to be as unbiased as possible while also providing personal opinion.
I believe it’s IPS. But hey, whatever floats your boat. I’ve personally been using it and thinks it’s one of the best I’ve seen. Better than some OLED i’ve tested too. Mini-LED imo is still superior for gaming displays. 🤷🏼♂️
