I (briefly) owned an Odyssey OLED G8 last year before deciding Ultrawide wasn't for me and replacing it with an Asus WOLED. But I don't think Tizen OS on that model let you navigate with a mouse and keyboard, you HAD to use their included remote. This is an extremely nice quality of life change
How do streaming apps such as Hulu look on it for you? For me the smart hub itself along with most of the apps I have tried do not look good at all honestly, I assume its just software as pc looks fine but am confused as to why Hulu looks like its on a 2014 tv.
Great video as always, man! You really give a good overview. One question: Do you think the RTX 4090 would be able to run this OLED G8 monitor as the main monitor and two OLED G6 monitors as secondary monitors? I've read and heard that several individuals have issues running three monitors because the Nvidia card only lets them select two. Cheers!
Thanks for being first to comment. It depends on the laptop. The titan and legion 9 has 2 thunderbolt ports and an HDMI connected to the GPU directly. So it should be fine. I don't have a way to test it though with my current setup
Really dissapointed by the “Peak Brightness” setting not being available in SDR, makes the monitor much dimmer in SDR, unlike my S95B which allows the setting to be used and looks so bright in SDR, the monitor does look as bright as my previous mini led monitor ( neo g8 ) in HDR though.
Today received odyssey G80SD and faced with the problem that when I connect to Mac via hdmi or any other ports, refresh rate 120hz, even if you reduce it to 2k it is still 120hz. Tried all settings, different cables and nothing helps. Who has experienced this can you help me ? Because there was no such problems on MSI monitor.
Yes!!!! I’m glad you brought that up. I was wondering if it’s mine. I’m having a whole bunch of minor issues with it. I’m honestly thinking about not doing a review. Also brightness goes way down when in gpu mode in advanced Optimus. And sometimes in battery mode, just doing mundane tasks, the laptop grinds to a halt. Are you having those issues too?
@@consumertechwarehouse yes, I have those issues too and literally all have that stuttering. Lenovo is silent for months now. I replied to your message here with a link before to give you an example how widespread those issues are but it needs to be reviewed by you because of the link.
@@consumertechwarehouse You are not alone mate. I have links to lenovo's community support with all issues posted there. But i cant message a link here too
It's great. But since this isn't a pro monitor the colors were slightly off. My white balance balance is slightly cool and the tint is a bit too green. Also. the menus are more laid out for video. There isn't a way to switch easily to DCIP3, Adobe RGB and sRGB. The panel is more than capable. But maybe this monitor isn't for super color critical work since it's more if a tv. Unless you're very critical with colors none of what I'm saying matters lol.
Yes I am. I'm having a whole bunch of issues with it and decided not to move forward with the review. Funny somebody else commented and asked me the same question. So it's definitely a widespread issue
That's exactly why I didn't want to make a video lol. I would have made it, then sent it back and an update would have fixed all the issues I mentioned. Is it a better experience now?
What about the color accuracy? Better than the G6? He wasn't well calibrated. Is there a sRGB calibrated mode like Asus and Gigabyte did? Some HDR picture mode?
Damn. All this stuff I wanted to cover but cut it out of the video because I thought people wouldn't care. Color accuracy is excellent on the movies preset or graphic preset if using PC. Delta E was well under 2. There isn't an easy way to switch to sRGB mode. The TV does it automatically based on the content if Color is set to auto. But you can change to native which removes any clamping of the colors. There is a custom mode, but it's greyed out in most situations. In HDR mode, auto changes DCI-P3 or HLG depending on the content. Long story short, it does a lot of this automatically but it doesn't seem like you can choose whatever color gamut you want anytime you want. Hopefully they address that on a software update.
Yeah I agree. I don’t know what I was thinking lol. But the monitor is very color accurate. You just don’t have easy functionality to change the different color gamut and standards. Edit: I remember now. Every time I talk about color gamut and accuracy people skip through it. I see it in my retention graphs. But enough people do care about it since I got a few questions about it now. I'll continue to mention it in all videos with a display
@@consumertechwarehouse Wow, that is a very interesting fact to me that I never would have suspected. On the market for my first OLED monitor and I've been on the fence on the Evnia 34 inch but didn't do it because I saw the HDR had bad color accuracy in reviews.
I ordered from b and h. Next day shipment. Although Samsung we site has better price. Certain sector workers able to get it for $1039 plus $300 Samsung credit 35 days later. site like rakuten was offering 15% cash back on shipping on Samsung monitors on Samsung website.
Did you make any specific settings adjustments to make spreadsheets look good? Default Sharpness at 10 thinning small texts, but the lower you go the blurrier it gets.
Did you ever figure a way to make text look better? I'm coming from the LG 27gn950-b ips 4k and while it's close to being as sharp as the lg fonts still seem ever so blurry at 10 sharpness in sdr. Raising above 10 starts fringing. It's kinda pain for me as I have a descent astigmatism.
@@devoed8206 text itself - no, but a certain combination of white balance and gamma settings make it easier to read for my eyes. I settled down on "Graphics" preset with "Warm1" color tone, BT.1886 gamma, and "Native" color space (the rest is on default, including sharpness which is on initial 10). I worked with MacBook and a portable 4K OLED 15.6 monitor for a while, both have very high PPI and laser-sharp text clarity. G80SD is my first monitor in a while, so I'm not sure if I just have too high expectations. After a week of usage, text clarity seems to bother me less. Would wait for reviews that will compare it to its semi-glossy counterparts before deciding to stick with it or not.
May I ask you, since you have the new iPad Pro, can this monitor be used with it without experiencing any issues? I assume it would be connected via HDMI since there is no USB-C connection? Many thanks.
The iPad has thunderbolt which thankfully includes Displayport. So you just need a displayport cable that terminates in USB c. There's a lot on Amazon and relatively cheap. It'll work just as good as a dedicated thunderbolt port since there's no active translation necessary. This is the ones I use. amzn.to/3VseKt9
When your PC is on and you turn on this monitor, will the screen immediately open the PC source? Or do you need to select it in the menu every time you turn on this monitor?
Hello, thanks for your review. I wanted to ask something, I am currently using a 300 nit IPS display and my brightness is always at 100. I wonder if the brightness will be better than my current monitor or if it will be insufficient. I mean can we adjust the brightness close to 300 nits in sdr mode or will it remain dim? It would be great if you could help and thank you.
I think it'll look similar when looking at mostly a white image like Excel, word, or bright web pages. In most video and games it'll look brighter because at 10% and 30% windows it can get higher than 500 nits. There's times I wish it were brighter though, but that's me coming from 1000 nit mini led laptop displays. Overall I'm fine with the brightness though I would have really liked more. Hope that helped.
@@consumertechwarehouse My monitor will arrive in a week and I will compare the brightness with my current IPS monitor. I will write my feedback here again, thank you very much for your help by the way!
This, trust me it is 100% this. It is a TV as well, it has ambiet light, better build quality, it is elegant and still has a gaming look as well. I had a lot of Allienware monitors in the past, but their build quality is just cheap, it feels like they are made in mass and the company aims just to make money fast, without really caring about the buyer. They kept their design and their cheap plastic for years, i understand that they need to keep their "image" but cheap plastic is cheap plastic after all, if the monitor is white and it gets scratched a bit, it will have a black mark which wont go off, on the other hand we have seen samsung improving their design every year.
Yeah they push forward when you plug in cables. I saw other reviewers mention that. I didn't think much of it at the time and I still dont. It doesn't seem like it'll give way and I'm never switching out cables frequently.
really cool video! 😊might get this monitor soon! it has a decent sale to! playing borderlands 2 and other older games are gonna reach that refresh rate at 4k or close to it 😊😮 seems like the recommended gpu you need is like 800$ or more for this monitor to be good… might get me a 5080 or a 5080ti someday lol 😆
I have been using this monitor for my Mac mini and MacBook Pro 16. About 2 days, with some web browsing, coding, watching videos, bit of gaming etc. I don’t have any problems for now. I feel like the HDR options in Mac works better than windows on this monitor.
@@weiluzhao6192hdr isn’t working well for me on Mac whenever I turn it on the highlights periodically get blown out. Is there a specific setting you need to turn on or off to make it work properly?
I don't think there will be any issues. I connected my Samsung 57 inch and it did just fine using displayport. You should be able to get the full resolution. Not sure if it'll go up to 240hz though
Just ordered mine on preorder, delivery in approximately 3 weeks UK. I’m going to connect a windows 11 pc to it as well and was wondering how text looks close up against white background
I bought this monitor last week. It’s just not very bright. The screen on my MacBook Pro (M1 Max 16) is way, way brighter, and even my 2017 LCD monitor that I had previously been using is brighter. Of course the contrast is exceptional, but I would rather stare at much much brighter screen with slightly lower contrast than stare at a dim screen all the time. I bought a mini LED monitor and I’m going to try that when it arrives and decide, but likely taking this G80SD back for return.
Yeah I think once your expectations are that it'll be not as bright as other monitors, then you can get used to it. And yes the MacBook is 500 nits while in regular content the G8 can be around 300 to 500 nits depending on the scene. You may prefer mini LED for that reason alone. That's the biggest con with current OLEDs. They aren't able to get as bright.
@@consumertechwarehouse thanks. It’s my only worry from what I’ve heard. Beautiful monitor. Saw it today at the store and wanted to buy it but thought to come in to TH-cam first and see if there were burn in issues. Good video by the way
Ordered this yesterday and probably going to return it unopened (Samsung doesn’t allowed return of opened items in the US). Went to Best Buy and looked at the OLED screen in person and it looks muted and terrible. What a waste
@@imarasnothere no I didn’t mess around with the display settings on the Best Buy monitors. Mine arrives today and I’m tempted to not open it until I see more comparisons about the coating. Hopefully hardware unboxed does a side by side comparison of the G80SD and other QD OLEDs
Too expensive just for a 32 inch, the price would be more reasonable if it was at least a 43 inch monitor, an oled display is too much of a risk for burn in on something that is this expensive
Thanks for talking about the productivity side of the monitor...we can't play games ALL the time, so it's good to know that it's still decent for spreadsheets/office, etc.
Odyssey OLED G8 or GIGABYTE AORUS FO32U2?
i recomend the samsung because of the mark🤑🤑🤑
G8, superior cooling, GIGABYTE monitors are an afterthought they make motherboards and gpu which is their main.
I have this monitor, and I would say that the coating on the screen is just like the coating on a regular monitor.
No kvm?😢
how does this compare to a LG c4 or c3 42" brightness wise?
I (briefly) owned an Odyssey OLED G8 last year before deciding Ultrawide wasn't for me and replacing it with an Asus WOLED. But I don't think Tizen OS on that model let you navigate with a mouse and keyboard, you HAD to use their included remote. This is an extremely nice quality of life change
