To be fair, if you can spend $1,500 on a monitor, you can probably spend 50 bucks on a stand. If I wanted a company to cut corners in any area to get me the most bang for my buck, it'd be the stand. Something that's easily replaced for cheap.

I feel like a lot of manufacturers are getting cheaper on their mounts due to the prevalence of Vesa mounting. They need to just offer it without a mount and make people buy the mount as an addition to cut costs and improve quality.
Despite Neo G8's potential issues (scan lines or dead pixels / fald pixels) and common issues (low full screen brightness) it's actually very competitive for its weight class: 27in to 32in, Real FALD HDR, decent response times with fast refresh rate, non-OLED monitor Most of the monitors we had a year ago that has real FALD HDR typically have terrible response times and cost on upwards of $2000 and the Neo G8's closest competitor, Asus PG32UQX costs up to $3000
I have the neo g7 but I think I might get the g8 just for the 240hz in rocket league. This monitor is probably one of the best right now I don’t even mind the curve.
For bright console games, yes, it is the best. For the best PC HDR it is Samsung G9 Neo (830 vs 350 nits sustained brightness), for dark/horror PC games it is QD-OLED Alienware AW3423 (the best contrast for dark details but not good enough for bright scenes with 260 nits).
@@kjrayo18 The opposite. It's very good to have such a wide monitor for PC total immersion, the second thing after VR and 21:9 is possible like 34" ultrawide.
One other thing that absolutely sucks about the stand is that it's HUGE .. the feet are so big they take up half of a large / deep desk leaving you with far less room for your keyboard and mouse especially if you like to have them in the middle or far on your desk, you're kinda screwed. It's why I felt forced to buy a monitor arm, but arms that support a monitor this size, weight and curved cost hundreds, the only affordable one is the invision mx450 and I'm kinda worried it might fail eventually and destroy the monitor. On top of that, my desk is pretty thin, the plate is assmebled from 4 different woode plates that are bolted together with relateively flimsy metal pieces and tiny screwd that go directly into the wood, which I had to loosen a few times and retighten (which made them not as thight as they should be). So, it kinda makes me worry. The monitor is incredible, the stand situation is horrible Also I wish the monitor had some TV capabilities, like motion smoothing, anti judder etc etc in a special tv/content mode. It's looks absolutely fantastic but it's a monitor and movies etc that are 24fps aren't as smooth as on a TV (yes I enjoy the soap opera effect on movies, I think the whole 24fps thing is dumb and wish movies were 60fps, but I'm not even talking about that, there are other anti judder and stuff things that tv's have, since it's such a beautiufl monitor it really should come witht that since it's also perfect to watch content other than that , relatively large and a great tv replacement for whatever room you put it in)
hey man, haven’t watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say you are easily the most underrated tech channel on YT. Keep doing your thing brother, your time will come soon📈
I think the monitor is great, but it's sad you basically need to buy a separate quality stand for it because the included stand belongs with a $200 monitor.
Im so damn sad I just got my g8 and I had a dead pixel. Going to replace but it will probably take 1-2 weeks. I do need to mention that besides the dead pixel it is a beautiful display best I have ever had.
thanks for the ufo and ghosting test that saved me from buying this monitor. in your opinion and experience what is the best none oled monitor with this specs 4k/144hz+ that has the most clear image and no ghosting?
monitor was just released and they are now offering USB updates via USB, so no doubt they shipped it out expecting to fix gripes with updates. The stand is weird its so flimsy for a monitor so expensive but personally I like it and I was looking for a new monitor I think this is it.
I also got an Neo G8 1 week ago. What graphic card are you using? With my GTX1080 Ti FTW3, 240hz is not available at 4k resolution... Also, when I turned HDR on, there are shadows on texts, scanlines on desktop icons, but in movies/videos, it looks fine. Do you experience the same issues?
The scan lines yes, really unfortunate. Are you using DisplayPort with your gpu? The hdmi 2.1 have enough bandwidth but a 1080 doesn’t have 2.1 which is why I’m asking. As far as the HDR with text, I’ll have to look at that more closely. My full review should be coming out in a few days tho!
@@TypeCTechReviews thanks for the reply, looking forward to your review video. I tried using HDMI on my 1080ti, only 60hz is available at 4K, but the text shadows and heavier scanlines under HDR are gone. However, light scanlines on yellow and red icons stay the same.
Mate, could you please explain exactly what the actual fuck Freesync premium pro is? I have a 3090 and on the official Samsung page says it only has freesync and not gsync, but here in your video it has gsync compatibility? I’ve been searching for this answer for at least a couple hours now lol
Seems a bit disappointing for a 1500.00 monitor. I'm looking for a new 4k monitor to go with my new pc and this one is out for me. May cough up more cash n get the Viewsonic elite 32 inch 4k monitor. Thank's for the review!
u mean all monitors... there are no reliable monitors in the monitor industry where they can guarantee u no dead pixels or a bunch of other issues on ur panel.
Finally honest review about G8 and not sponsored ! 300nits SDR and HDR 😂 (fake HDR2000 it’s not even 1000 nits at full screen) ,as my experience had my G8 two weeks ago and I glad I return it because of low brightness - Crazy Scanlines - Gsync flickering - light flickering - 5 dead pixel after two weeks! - artifacts - dark spots at screen …
@@TypeCTechReviews yes 😂 this is true Gold word 😉 just funny thing is on forum and Reddit for new user Neo G7 / G8 , when they buy and after some days hard crying like kid into issues 😂🤣
A lot of folks have been complaining about lines in these and other name brand monitors and TV's. I work in an appliance store and Samsung and LG are complete junk. We don't sell them no more. With that said, Hisense U6G,U7G,andU8G are great TV's. Lenovo makes great products. Asus ROG Swift are excellent gaming monitors and have better colors and brightness than LG C1,C2, Samsung Odyssey Neo G8,G7,G9,and etc. The Asus costs about the same as these name brands. Asus has become a bigger name as of late but with our a doubt Asus ROG Swift line of monitors are the ones to look at especially for competitive gaming and just for best visuals. Hisense U8G is comparable to the LG C1... except Hisense is better built and should not give you any problems.
To be fair, if you can spend $1,500 on a monitor, you can probably spend 50 bucks on a stand. If I wanted a company to cut corners in any area to get me the most bang for my buck, it'd be the stand. Something that's easily replaced for cheap.
As if while buying this monitor the $1500 got added to your account increase of being deducted that you can even think of spending $50 after that.

** Here is all my favorite settings list of both SDR and HDR **
I tell you guys this Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is very good monitor.
But...
You have to know how to work the options on the monitor itself to be able to get these visuals!
But if you got the G7 Neo model then just try see if that good for you...
This is very important settings with " Saturation " this give more color for to both SDR and HDR.
Well, best settings is Saturation with 58 or 60 or 70.
I use 70 for both SDR and HDR.
Depending on which movies or games to run.
See and test what is fit well best.
Also important that " Local Dimming " to High or Auto.
Sometimes better use with High and sometimes better use Auto, depend on.
But you need use both High and Auto, However use often with High.
If you like can use also with Low, but i never use Low.
"Local Dimming" is important for both SDR and HDR.
This thing has do with Mini-LED.
You can change " Contrast Enhancer " On or Off, if you like it.
" Black Equalizer " 13 is great but you can change from 9 to 16 or up to 20 if you like it.
9 to 16 is great
" Contrast " with 75 and 80, 90 and 100 fine.
You can change Gamma Mode 1 or 2 or 3.
I use 1 and 2.
Even you can change " Color Tone "
I use Normal and Warm 1 and Natural.
" Adaptive-Sync " is On this is good thing so you can use with G-Sync Compatible to enable if you wanna it.
But make sure turn off V-Sync in game.
If off G-Sync, you can use V-Sync.
I don't use G-Sync due they are not support to all games also i don't need that.
You can have " Adaptive-Sync " on and without use G-Sync and just enable V-Sync.
If you turn off " Adaptive-Sync " You can use with " Response Time " and " Low Input Lag ".
I don't use " Low Input Lag " Just keep on " Adaptive-Sync ".
If you turn on " Adaptive-Sync " will work run with G-Sync or FreeSync.
HDMI or DisplayPort both work to run with G-Sync or FreeSync.
My " VRR Control " is On.
Well better use with HDMI than DP.
HDMI can get 12-bit color, with a lot color than 10-bit.
But make sure set on output color depth 12-bit SDR in PC.
This monitor model HDMI 2.1 get only 120Hz max at 4K.
If guys wanna run with DisplayPort at 240 Hz but get only 10-bit color.
This monitor support 12 bit color, That Amazing...
If you run HDMI on PC and don't forget turn off HDMI audio in Nvidia Control Panel or in Sound Control Panel, If you wanna use from motherboard audio ports or PC sound card.
If you have problem monitor like when is flickering or glitching or other just turn off power in OSD buttons then turn on power.
If this not help then just restart PC in Windows.
Then is all good again.
I think DP is better than HDMI for that Samsung Neo Odyssey G8.
Almost zero issues for flickering or nothing at all.
I think HDMI got more issue.
This is just small problem, not big deal.
I did try only with PC Windows DP & HDMI.
I don't know about with Consoles at HDMI if have problem with flickering or other.
I did read from someone comment and he said about Scanlines problem..
===========================================================================
What i learned watching hours of reviews
240HZ = GAMING ONLY (Scanlines are not noticeable while gaming )
120HZ = OFFICE WORK / VIDEO (Eliminates scanlines)
*Get used to scaling your MONTIOR depending on the type of work you are doing.
*SWITCH TO 240hz while GAMING
* SWITCH TO 120hz while doing OFFICE WORK
===========================================================================
You know that settings on SDR will have different settings save from HDR on, If you run HDR will have other settings save.
So you can have two options SDR and HDR settings for saves. Great right?

Im so damn sad I just got my g8 and I had a dead pixel. Going to replace but it will probably take 1-2 weeks. I do need to mention that besides the dead pixel it is a beautiful display best I have ever had.
Can someone please tell me what keyboard that this?
thanks for the ufo and ghosting test that saved me from buying this monitor. in your opinion and experience what is the best none oled monitor with this specs 4k/144hz+ that has the most clear image and no ghosting?
Anything that’s not oled will have it
I was thinking of getting this monitor. Would my 3090 FE be able to work well with it ?
My CPU is a ryzen 7 5800x.
Nice vid, quick question... What keyboard is that?
monitor was just released and they are now offering USB updates via USB, so no doubt they shipped it out expecting to fix gripes with updates. The stand is weird its so flimsy for a monitor so expensive but personally I like it and I was looking for a new monitor I think this is it.
I also got an Neo G8 1 week ago. What graphic card are you using? With my GTX1080 Ti FTW3, 240hz is not available at 4k resolution...
Also, when I turned HDR on, there are shadows on texts, scanlines on desktop icons, but in movies/videos, it looks fine.
Do you experience the same issues?
I have 3090 Ti and also had same as your issues .
@@VaMpiRe-xo8er thanks~ Checking with other youtubers to see if they have the same problems
The scan lines yes, really unfortunate. Are you using DisplayPort with your gpu? The hdmi 2.1 have enough bandwidth but a 1080 doesn’t have 2.1 which is why I’m asking. As far as the HDR with text, I’ll have to look at that more closely. My full review should be coming out in a few days tho!
@@TypeCTechReviews thanks for the reply, looking forward to your review video.
I tried using HDMI on my 1080ti, only 60hz is available at 4K, but the text shadows and heavier scanlines under HDR are gone. However, light scanlines on yellow and red icons stay the same.
Where did you bought it, because I also want one. If I search for it there only pops up that he is available in 2 month
If they made this 27 inches, I would collapse
I play competitive and to be honest im okay with 34 inches; Specially since this is curved so my FOV is perfect.
@@MrBasically810 nice, it really comes down to how far you are sitting.
i bought mine for 1099 from amazon...
I wish I had the budget for this monitor. I love it 😍
Not worth it it has lots of issues
Ok, you tested 2 Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 and LG 32GQ950-B 32 monitors, which in your opinion is better, what do you recommend?
Alienware aw3423dw vs Samsung nel g8 please
wish they did this in a 34 inch form factor
I agree
You getting buff bro
Nice review.
I paid $600 for this. Im satisfied at that price
I bought 3 Neo G8's 😎👍 Best monitor ever 👌
Question because I'm on the fence. Is the line scanning very noticeable? Have they released a software update? You bought 3 that is crazy!
this is the most prejudged biased review i have ever seen just wow lol
i agree
They should have made a 27 inch model. :/
For a moment I was expecting a box with artwork. Didn't realize samsung cheaped out and put it in a ugly brown box. :/
Mate, could you please explain exactly what the actual fuck Freesync premium pro is? I have a 3090 and on the official Samsung page says it only has freesync and not gsync, but here in your video it has gsync compatibility? I’ve been searching for this answer for at least a couple hours now lol
He prob meant GSync compatible, because it doesnt have GSYNC, however... freesync is basically Gsync and Nvidia cards can utilize freesync as Gsync
Maybe it's just my opinion but not mounting this monitor on a wall is wrong almost a crime
I can buy this monitor for around 1k USD right now due to big discounts but I'm still hesitant if it's worth it. 😔
where? how ?
Ugh, such a great monitor, too bad it has that extreme curve.
The curve is actually pretty nice
Seems a bit disappointing for a 1500.00 monitor. I'm looking for a new 4k monitor to go with my new pc and this one is out for me. May cough up more cash n get the Viewsonic elite 32 inch 4k monitor. Thank's for the review!
my dream.....
It always seems like Samsung monitors are very expensive for what they are. Like from what I'm seeing, this could be priced at sub $1000.
u mean all monitors... there are no reliable monitors in the monitor industry where they can guarantee u no dead pixels or a bunch of other issues on ur panel.
i recently bought the odyssey g5 32" for $300 and it gets here tomorrow, from the specs nothing beats it but ill see if in practice it holds up
@@StormyMainShorts G5 is pure garbage. I guess you know it by now.
Nah actually, it better than any ips panel I've ever seen, used or watched a review on
@@AdiiS even in the ufo test I haven't seen any ghosting or inverse ghosting and I play mainly siege,csgo and mw19 games where it should be noticeable
Finally honest review about G8 and not sponsored ! 300nits SDR and HDR 😂 (fake HDR2000 it’s not even 1000 nits at full screen) ,as my experience had my G8 two weeks ago and I glad I return it because of low brightness - Crazy Scanlines - Gsync flickering - light flickering - 5 dead pixel after two weeks! - artifacts - dark spots at screen …
Hey, if it’s a Samsung monitor and a positive review it’s probably sponsored😂😂jk jk
@@TypeCTechReviews yes 😂 this is true Gold word 😉 just funny thing is on forum and Reddit for new user Neo G7 / G8 , when they buy and after some days hard crying like kid into issues 😂🤣
@@TypeCTechReviews lol
My speakers didn’t work and still don’t. Trying to figure it out atm
there are no speakers
@@Dawg99999 exactly and out of all the videos out there not one says “ btw, no speakers. Just great visuals, so buy a sound bar or surround sound.”
Hmm
You look like a Mr.Beast 🫣
For me this just 1000bucks
neo g7 better value
Lessgoooo
A lot of folks have been complaining about lines in these and other name brand monitors and TV's. I work in an appliance store and Samsung and LG are complete junk. We don't sell them no more. With that said, Hisense U6G,U7G,andU8G are great TV's. Lenovo makes great products. Asus ROG Swift are excellent gaming monitors and have better colors and brightness than LG C1,C2, Samsung Odyssey Neo G8,G7,G9,and etc. The Asus costs about the same as these name brands. Asus has become a bigger name as of late but with our a doubt Asus ROG Swift line of monitors are the ones to look at especially for competitive gaming and just for best visuals. Hisense U8G is comparable to the LG C1... except Hisense is better built and should not give you any problems.
Nobody believes you.
