I got this monitor for $700 from a guy that didnt have time to enjoy it..and wow..it got me back to playing video games again..and the built in apps like netflix youtube etc..plus the speakers..man this is awesome
Completely forgot to mention that the sound coming out of the Gameplay is from the built in speakers of the G80SD, not the external NZXT speakers. So far this monitor is AWESOME 🔥🔥 If there's any questions for the upcoming review, drop em !
@@leviticus6105 From pictures and posts on Reddit, it seems that sits in between WOLED black levels and glossy QD-OLED raised blacks. So the purple tint is still there but not as raised or noticeable. It looks like if you are viewing the monitor off axis this purple tint is more prominent in the G80SD.
If you want to make big views then it is an race to the clock for the first TH-camr who compares the Alienware aw3225qf, the lg32gs95ue, the Samsung OLED G8(2024). In an in depth video in all kinds of light circumstances.
Matte vs Gloss isn’t worse or better since they both have pros and cons. For me, Matte is great for brighter setups especially if you have no control over lighting setups. You lose a little clarity though, but it’s not that bad in my opinion. Gloss is superb in the dark, looks more clear, but suffers with lights and reflections. I think this G8 has a great matte coating , but if you don’t like that, then thankfully other brands have a glossier coating
I know the ASUS PG32UCDM is glossy, and there’s some from AORUS and MSI, but ever since they launched , I have yet to get the chance to order it 🥲 sold out for months now
@@FIREWOLFTECH Same here in the Netherlands, the LG is well stocked and i hope this Samsung will also be. I am very temped to pick the Samsung, for the greater colorrange and the passive cooling solution. Although, i am more of an LG fanboy (OLED TV = LG, my current 4K IPS screen = LG).
Mine will be delivered tomorrow 🔥 actually got two of these since I’m replacing my dual monitor set up, I was looking for something with a high refresh rate and 4K and OLED was just the cherry on top. Don’t really care for the smart features, but the panel looks really good and I love the look of this monitor and the RGB ring on the back. Thanks for uploading the unboxing now I know what to expect 💯
Came in Friday morning, they are fantastic! 0 complaints so far, can’t believe how thin these are too, yeah these were absolutely worth every cent, I don’t care too much for the smart features but the tizen software has some quite impressive software and it’s much more responsive than I thought. Overall I’ll be happy with these for a few years at least.
In my opinion, it’s better. I prefer the matte coating, but it’s going to be up to you at the end of the day whether you’re gonna love it or hate it since you’ve gotten accustomed to the semi gloss
I returned mine after being given wrong info by Samsung. Chat support said the 3 year warranty DID cover burn in and it turns out he was wrong and a manager told me they DO NOT cover burn in. What a mess.
So do i have to connect the monitor to PC (with the remote) and/or skip the menus every time? Or can I just turn on the PC and get my "not smart" monitor somehow?
@Dan-ju5gk okay got it set up. It's awesome!!! The matte finish feels like a cross breed between glossy and matte. It's hard to explain but I really like it. I have quite bit of ambient light and it seems to swallow it up like a blackhole😆. So far, I'm super happy with it. It is absolutely perfect for my use case. A bit of work and a bit of fun. The smart features run great and are snappy. Power brick is something I need to figure out... I have a smaller sit stand desk, but nothing a few velcro straps can't fix. I have it on the stand, which is quite nice, but I already ordered a monitor arm for it, which will give me a bit extra height. I'm looking to have it clear my laptop screen in front. But yeah, so far, so good!
how is this monitor compared to the other competitors? would you recommend this for productivity, how is the text rendering, clarity etc? i have macbook pro and looking for high refresh rate work monitor
Me too. I’ve been looking at this. As well. Prefer the flat screen over the curved Alienware qd-oleds which are another alternative I’m looking at. The Asus 32UCDM is sold out too, that would’ve been a good one. I hope he replies
This monitor directly competes with LG's 4K WOLED panel on the 32GS95UE. Other competitors will either use this Samsung's QD-OLED panel or the LG WOLED panel. I find that a lot of times, other brands will include more features, better or longer warranty, or will change the coating on the screen. Text rendering is really good, SO much better than the original QD-OLED on the 34" G8 OLED. Clarity is where there's a huge change. Samsung went with a matte display which loses some clarity over the semi-gloss found in ASUS/MSI/Gigabyte There's pros and cons. I did a review on the 32GS95UE covering the upsides of the matte coating : th-cam.com/video/m1PmfWIaweM/w-d-xo.html
Don’t have any best settings yet, left everything the way it is, just increased brightness to max. Vs PG32UCDM, I haven’t personally tried it yet so I can’t really say
Watching your video about this monitor... on this monitor! I love this thing so far. First time I bought a monitor without hearing reviews (since there aren't any yet), but looks like I might've lucked out. Fantastic monitor so far.
Text in my eyes are very clear thanks to the 4K resolution (137PPI) and better subpixel layout. If this is your first OLED, I think you'll be impressed 🔥 I'll be dropping a more detailed review within a week
Same here! It was such an impulse buy after seeing the reveal trailer, I’ve never wanted something immediately before, lol. It arrived right before i had to leave to work so I can’t mess with it. I’m so excited because I’ve been meaning to upgrade my monitor for so long already and on paper this thing is a beast!
Depends on whether you want to use DLAA or DLSS (Quality, Balanced, Performance, or Ultra Performance). You get ranges from 160 FPS - 220-ish +depending on those options 🔥
Call them Directly to find out , but when I called them twice they said yes burn in is covered in the 3 year warrently as long as you didn't damage the screen it self .
@@msg360 Alienware and MSI make it very clear on their website that the 3 year burn in warranty is included. I refuse to buy from a company that doesn’t make it clear.
It honestly just dropped out of nowhere. We knew it was coming, but to my knowledge there was never an official date. So I assume UK will eventually get it on a random drop date
@FIREWOLFTECH Thank you for the information. I will keep an eye out for it. At the moment, I only see the New G6 model on the Samsung website. Hope to get the G8 soon.
Can you comment on Mac connectivity. How is the text clarity? Of course missing out on USBC is a bummer, but I wouldn’t mind connecting through DisplayPort or HDMI. Is this monitor also colour accurate? Plan on using this for editing too. I understand that the non-glossy coating is gonna affect text sharpness this but just any opinions on how the overall experience is when connected to Mac?
I would say it’s more about what you prefer, competitiveness, and how much performance your PC can output. The G8 has a bigger screen with higher resolution vs smaller screen with faster FPS on the G6z 240 vs 360 isn’t a huge difference in my opinion, but could give you a slight edge especially since 1440P means better performance
@@vipromeoyt I've reviewed the LG 32GS95UE and Alienware AW3225QF and without measuring, the brightness levels feel similar. Compared to older OLED monitors, it is noticeably brighter which is great
I let in as much natural sunlight plus studio lights to get an idea of how it handles bright environments. You’ll notice on the bottom right where the sun hits it the most. On horizon forbidden west, studio lights are on, but this I used blacked out curtains to block the sun. Another reason as well is the camera adjusting it which I should’ve payed more attention 😅 my daughter woke up from her nap at that time so I didn’t check
got the monitor last week here in EU, really like it so far, alot of people complain about the matte finish it's not bad at all, the monitor has other things going agianst it that poeple should complain about, hopefully they will fix some stuff with further firmware updates
Hey! Does this monitor have the VRR control setting (that removes vrr flickering)? Does it have VRR flickering? Does it work with Gsync without flickering? Does it have scanlines? Have a nice day everyone!
Vrr control reduces the VRR range to reduce flickering. ASUS also implemented this in some of their monitors. This isn't a fix, but rather a work around. For example, if the VRR range is from 48hz-240hz, vrr control would reduce this to 200hz-240hz, meaning unless you have stable fps In that range, your likely not using VRR anymore which is why flickering is gone. You can download CRU (Custom Reolution Untility) and just do this manually yourself with any monitor. But yes, this monitor along with any oled will have VRR flicker with unstable framerates or frame times including this one. However, it seems as though the new LG UltraGear 32GS95UE has been the best when it comes to flickering. There are youtube videos of people comparing the LG to various QD oleds including this one on the samsung G80SD. This is the reason I bought the LG despite the higher price.
I asked samsung cs, they didn’t give a clear answer as they said it depends on the engineer to determine that burn whether it is caused by man-made damage.
I never tried switching the resolution to 1440P so I can’t say for sure, but I do know DLSS downscales the resolution depending on the quality which works great
Did you connect via DisplayPort or HDMI? I noticed your comment about the power connector not going all the way in and I noticed the same thing but felt normal. However, the DisplayPort connector felt unsecure...like it felt like it slightly pushed in when connecting. Just curious if you noticed the same?
I connected DisplayPort for PC ,HDMI for PS5, USB upstream and my gaming keyboard usb, they all felt “lose” like it didn’t go all the way in so I noticed the same. No issues though
@@FIREWOLFTECH Awesome! Thank you very much for the feedback. FYI for everyone, just like @FIREWOLFTECH, even though it feels a little off, it has been working perfectly. I have to say, this monitor has the absolute best AR coating I have ever used. In a lit room the monitor still performs amazingly and I have ZERO....I mean NO SINGLE REFLECTION....on my IPS LG 27GN950-B I could always see a little glow from my ambient lights...but this monitor shows nada....truly blown away by the way it handles room lighting.
I ordered this G80SD, but unfortunately I'm missing a few things. PD/USB-C (65-90W) KVM, PIP, PBP features. Premium, expensive, but I don't understand why these had to be left out? sad...
For those features, unfortunately you'd have to look at other brands like ASUS who takes the same panel and adds in a lot of those features (PG32UCDM for example) but if you want matte look into PG32UCDP which has USB-C, KVM, and other features with no Smart TV interface
Just got mine this thing is a beast. I’m coming down from an LG C3 42in wanting more refresh rate and let me tell you if you put up a white background and stare within like 6inches away you can make out the coating but I did a test with my C3 with a white background and it’s honestly not that big of a deal the tiny details are visible by both. I want the highest refresh highest resolution possible and the largest screen and right now this monitor with 300 coupon at Bestbuy cmon guys can’t go wrong. Until they come out with a 42in glossy 240hz I’m sticking with this one
Thanks for sharing 🔥🔥 I agree that it’s not a big deal. There’s pros and cons on both types of coating, but for a monitor, there’s a reason why most are matte. Glad you’re liking it
I just ordered one, I realllly wanted a Glossy Coating but the 300$ Samsung rewards discount being offered combined with cash back and EDU discount this made ~$600 which is half the price of the glossy Alienware. I was actually going to order the Alienware last night but really happy I waited. Just hoping the Coating is better implemented than the Neo G7 matte finish which I currently have
Yeah that introduction promo makes it very tempting and worth it 🔥 I haven't tried the NEO G7, but I will say you should expect an amazing experience because the matte on this G80SD is great and is less invasive thanks to OLED. Keep us updated !
@@20081428s it might be. It is currently in the US, but may not be available in Canada. Check the homepage of Samsung it would be listed there in the first panel with reward details
@@FIREWOLFTECH thank you! And looking forward to it. I honestly think people have been over exaggerating the haziness of these latest generation matte coatings. Will have to see for myself!
I returned a neo g7 because I hated the coating on it. It had that oily look to it. The picture was beautiful, but I didn't like the coating. Is this one the same, or does it not have the same look???
The 4080 Super can do the job. I did a review on the ROG STRIX 4080 Super : th-cam.com/video/0hStbk7Ehu8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ylwJ_3HIGzaZEKhA I have some 4K gameplay
The higher resolution and better OLED screen is in my opinion a huge difference. You might not miss the ultra wide since 34 to 32 isn’t a huge difference and you might like the taller screen
They’re both great since they use the same QD-OLED with the major difference being glossier on AW vs matte on the G8. Another difference is that the G8 is flat while the AW is curved. In my opinion, I think it’ll come down to your setup, lighting, and whether or not you really need glossy or matte. It’s good to have options 🔥
Nice first impressions video but can you confirm if this monitor is g sync compatible? On the introduction video for Samsung it says it is but on the website it only shows that it is amd free sync compatible.
At this moment on the current NVIDIA drivers, the control panel doesn’t show that this monitor is G-Sync compatible, however I had it enabled during gaming. In NVIDIA’s website, the G80SD is not listed, but could be in the future. For example, when the G9 oled first dropped, it wasn’t G-Sync compatible certified when I was using it, but now it is.
They’re both great 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitors. At 32-inches I’m personally liking flat screen better. As for the coating, I don’t mind matte at all, and makes it easier to use during the day letting in natural sun. They both have their pros and cons, where the G8 has the annoying smart OS
I’ve been using many OLED monitors and they’ve all been good for productive work. I will say that the first generation oled monitors had slight noticeable color fringing and were also less bright. This new gen QD-OLED is a good jump 🔥 I spend like 80% productively because of my channel 😅
For me I prefer super ultra wides, but 32”4K is really nice, so if I had to choose a main ,I’d go for either this G8 OLED or LG 32GS95UE. I like the versatility of matte coatings. I’m hoping for higher resolution oled ultra wides to come out to really compete with pixel density
Hi, I would be interested in buying this monitor. I read that it is not gsync compatibile certified. Having a 4080 super.... could I have stuttering or tearing problems?
With a 4080 you will not get stuttering or lagging on this monitor cause the gpu is capable of handling everything, but you might not be using the monitor its full potential capacity . If you want to be sure you can use it at 100% go for a gsync monitor just to be sure everything works like it should
At the moment no, but I’m pretty sure it’ll eventually get the certification. For example, the PG32UCDM uses the same QD-OLED panel and is listed as G-Sync compatible. Right now, you would have to manually enable VRR on the menu settings, and enable G-Sync in control panel. So far, I haven’t experienced any stuttering or tears. I’m pretty it’ll be fine
Super disappointed with the lack of usb c. I was hoping for something to use with my MacBook straight out of the box. I know the 34 inch oled G8 had one so them not putting it on here was a huge miss.
If you're looking for 4K 32" Non OLED, I've reviewed the 32-inch G70B : th-cam.com/video/iItQa9lSdiE/w-d-xo.html and the LG 32GQ950-B : th-cam.com/video/bBEDjJPSQ4s/w-d-xo.html I still think this monitor would be better for PS5, OLED just looks amazing and there's eARC support for soundbars
I bought this at best buy Saturday the 8th. I got it hooked up to my ps5. I play mlb the show @ 120hz and it works great! When I play madden which is 60 hz I see white lines and dots all over. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you for any advice.
It looks extremely dim. Also thing about youtube. It looks like the colors pop but in real life it doesn't look like this. This is how i got fooled into buying the samsung oddy neo g7 32" On youtube that monitor looked amazing. Got it home hooked it up and it looked meh in HDR and the colors were decent nothing to right home about
I think I'm a OG when it comes to using a glossy screen.. I have used the LG 32 SL 8000 sinds it's release back in 2009.. So i'm fine using a matte screen now hahah
For QD-OLEDs it's best to use in a dimmer environment since QD-OLEDs lack a polarizing layer which causes raised blacks in bright rooms. WOLEDs do not have this issue. If you like to use your monitor in both bright and dark rooms, I'd consider a WOLED, If you mainly game in darker lit rooms, QDOLED
Thanks for the feedback 🔥 I think burn-in at this point is minor especially when oled has been around for a long time now many new devices are starting to use oled. But thankfully there are other brands that offer longer warranties. As for gloss, I think it really depends on your setup. Gloss is awesome and I do prefer it, but that’s because I can control my own lighting. There are pros and cons, but this matte display on the G80S isn’t that bad in my opinion
@@Boostedbeard Call technical Support they all said Burn in is covered in the 3 year warrently "As long as you didn't caused damage or spilage " to the screen spoke too 3 different technical reps not sales people and that's what they said, you can look at all the scare tactics and miss information all you want online , but call them Directly and that what they say, and don't ask their chat Bot. Also dead pixel is covered in the warrently
none taken. Since I test out new monitors all the time using them for gaming and productivity, I can make a review based off of my experiences. Its similar for other reviewers, especially when it pays off to have it earlier. This video isn't a review, just an unboxing and first impressions so I should have a review video within a week. For longevity, its hard to test out for more than a month when there's new monitors being released all the time 🥲 I'm only one person at the end of the day
8:35 I had my curtains open to let in as much sunlight as possible plus my studio lights. You can see where the sun hits it the most in the bottom right corner. In forbidden west footage I have the curtains closed but kept studio lights on. Should’ve added those details 😅

Text fringing is it good? i am between this and LG tho I had MSI and it was awful that QD OLED friging on text killed my eyes
When will it be available for the purchase the monitor??I ordered it two days ago and says it will be delivered to me on August 4
I'm not sure where you're from, but on Samsungs US website the earliest date I have is June 27th
@@FIREWOLFTECH in italy august 4th
Why is so dark on the game with cars?
I opened up my curtains to let in the most sunlight. I should’ve also made sure the camera was capturing a little more accurately 🥺
Does Samsung offer the 3 year burn in warranty
Call them Directly to find out , but when I called them twice they said yes burn in is covered in the 3 year warrently as long as you didn't damage the screen it self .
@@msg360 Alienware and MSI make it very clear on their website that the 3 year burn in warranty is included. I refuse to buy from a company that doesn’t make it clear.
i cant find this anywhere in the uk
It honestly just dropped out of nowhere. We knew it was coming, but to my knowledge there was never an official date.
So I assume UK will eventually get it on a random drop date
@FIREWOLFTECH Thank you for the information. I will keep an eye out for it. At the moment, I only see the New G6 model on the Samsung website. Hope to get the G8 soon.
I’m hoping for you too ! Keep us updated
Can you comment on Mac connectivity.
How is the text clarity? Of course missing out on USBC is a bummer, but I wouldn’t mind connecting through DisplayPort or HDMI. Is this monitor also colour accurate? Plan on using this for editing too. I understand that the non-glossy coating is gonna affect text sharpness this but just any opinions on how the overall experience is when connected to Mac?
USB-C is this monitors biggest flaw
Is this good for cs2 or should go towards g6 ?
I would say it’s more about what you prefer, competitiveness, and how much performance your PC can output. The G8 has a bigger screen with higher resolution vs smaller screen with faster FPS on the G6z
240 vs 360 isn’t a huge difference in my opinion, but could give you a slight edge especially since 1440P means better performance
@@FIREWOLFTECH I think the g6 would be a better choice for fps who's into competing or really plays ftw 🤔 cuz 32 inch might be too big for it
I agree, you can have the monitor closer to you without being so big. It’s probably why esports uses smaller monitors
This monitor can be used for Office purpose?
Yes it can ! Work & Play 🔥
What about compare to asus lg or alienware monitor brightness??
@@vipromeoyt I've reviewed the LG 32GS95UE and Alienware AW3225QF and without measuring, the brightness levels feel similar. Compared to older OLED monitors, it is noticeably brighter which is great
Get an ips. Why would you get a 1300 dollar monitor for office work. Ips is more color accurate. Oled is just color saturation
Why is it so dark on Forza?
I let in as much natural sunlight plus studio lights to get an idea of how it handles bright environments. You’ll notice on the bottom right where the sun hits it the most.
On horizon forbidden west, studio lights are on, but this I used blacked out curtains to block the sun.
Another reason as well is the camera adjusting it which I should’ve payed more attention 😅 my daughter woke up from her nap at that time so I didn’t check
I prefer matte displays, since I let a lot of light hit my room. Cant wait to see comparison od LG woled to this one, so I can make a decision
Does this monitor have built in speakers?
yes
Love the review!! is this able to be VESA mounted?
Yes 100x100 vesa mount, no need for adapters
What video card are you using to push this awesome monitor?
He said 4090 in start
got the monitor last week here in EU, really like it so far, alot of people complain about the matte finish it's not bad at all, the monitor has other things going agianst it that poeple should complain about, hopefully they will fix some stuff with further firmware updates
Hey! Does this monitor have the VRR control setting (that removes vrr flickering)?
Does it have VRR flickering?
Does it work with Gsync without flickering?
Does it have scanlines?
Have a nice day everyone!
Vrr control reduces the VRR range to reduce flickering. ASUS also implemented this in some of their monitors. This isn't a fix, but rather a work around. For example, if the VRR range is from 48hz-240hz, vrr control would reduce this to 200hz-240hz, meaning unless you have stable fps In that range, your likely not using VRR anymore which is why flickering is gone. You can download CRU (Custom Reolution Untility) and just do this manually yourself with any monitor.
But yes, this monitor along with any oled will have VRR flicker with unstable framerates or frame times including this one. However, it seems as though the new LG UltraGear 32GS95UE has been the best when it comes to flickering. There are youtube videos of people comparing the LG to various QD oleds including this one on the samsung G80SD.
This is the reason I bought the LG despite the higher price.
Does it have burn in warranty like other QD-Oleds ?
I asked samsung cs, they didn’t give a clear answer as they said it depends on the engineer to determine that burn whether it is caused by man-made damage.
@@20081428s so it's not worth the price unfortunately 🥲
as long as you dont damange the screen, yes burn in is covered
@@msg360 source?
@@RamiAji-fc2kw call Samsungs technical team, I posted the number on this page. they will tell you.
Would you recommend this for 1440 gaming?
I never tried switching the resolution to 1440P so I can’t say for sure, but I do know DLSS downscales the resolution depending on the quality which works great
Did you connect via DisplayPort or HDMI? I noticed your comment about the power connector not going all the way in and I noticed the same thing but felt normal. However, the DisplayPort connector felt unsecure...like it felt like it slightly pushed in when connecting. Just curious if you noticed the same?
I connected DisplayPort for PC ,HDMI for PS5, USB upstream and my gaming keyboard usb, they all felt “lose” like it didn’t go all the way in so I noticed the same. No issues though
@@FIREWOLFTECH Awesome! Thank you very much for the feedback. FYI for everyone, just like @FIREWOLFTECH, even though it feels a little off, it has been working perfectly.
I have to say, this monitor has the absolute best AR coating I have ever used. In a lit room the monitor still performs amazingly and I have ZERO....I mean NO SINGLE REFLECTION....on my IPS LG 27GN950-B I could always see a little glow from my ambient lights...but this monitor shows nada....truly blown away by the way it handles room lighting.
I ordered this G80SD, but unfortunately I'm missing a few things. PD/USB-C (65-90W) KVM, PIP, PBP features. Premium, expensive, but I don't understand why these had to be left out? sad...
For those features, unfortunately you'd have to look at other brands like ASUS who takes the same panel and adds in a lot of those features (PG32UCDM for example) but if you want matte look into PG32UCDP which has USB-C, KVM, and other features with no Smart TV interface
Im going to buy G60sd, does color and picture quality of G80sd as clean as G60sd ?
Just got mine this thing is a beast. I’m coming down from an LG C3 42in wanting more refresh rate and let me tell you if you put up a white background and stare within like 6inches away you can make out the coating but I did a test with my C3 with a white background and it’s honestly not that big of a deal the tiny details are visible by both. I want the highest refresh highest resolution possible and the largest screen and right now this monitor with 300 coupon at Bestbuy cmon guys can’t go wrong. Until they come out with a 42in glossy 240hz I’m sticking with this one
Thanks for sharing 🔥🔥
I agree that it’s not a big deal. There’s pros and cons on both types of coating, but for a monitor, there’s a reason why most are matte.
Glad you’re liking it
where did you get the sasuke keycaps?❤
Have you found out if it supports G-Sync? Because the technical documents only mention AMD-Sync. Here in the video, it says G-Sync.
Does this monitor suffer from the purple tint in the presence of ambient light like other QD OLED monitors?
It’s an IDENTICAL PANEL AND semi glossy
Not as much as the glossy QD-OLED monitors.
Wait, there is a controller for this? Can it be used to adjust the settings?
Yes
The controller works great.... you can easily adjust settings.
how do i connect my external speakers, they only have a 3.5mm jack.
I just ordered one, I realllly wanted a Glossy Coating but the 300$ Samsung rewards discount being offered combined with cash back and EDU discount this made ~$600 which is half the price of the glossy Alienware. I was actually going to order the Alienware last night but really happy I waited. Just hoping the Coating is better implemented than the Neo G7 matte finish which I currently have
Yeah that introduction promo makes it very tempting and worth it 🔥 I haven't tried the NEO G7, but I will say you should expect an amazing experience because the matte on this G80SD is great and is less invasive thanks to OLED.
Keep us updated !
Is the samsung rewards discount only limited to specific countries?
@@20081428s it might be. It is currently in the US, but may not be available in Canada. Check the homepage of Samsung it would be listed there in the first panel with reward details
@@FIREWOLFTECH thank you! And looking forward to it. I honestly think people have been over exaggerating the haziness of these latest generation matte coatings. Will have to see for myself!
@@pistol27peteDo you have an update? How’s the coating?
Gorgeous! I'm wanting to order one in the next week. No adapter though to use an arm???
It’s vesa 100 x 100 mountable, no need for a separate adapter/attachment. I just realized that 🔥🔥
The older odyssey models were annoying with those
@@FIREWOLFTECH Very nice. Looks awesome so far
Keep us updated if you ever get the chance to order it !
I returned a neo g7 because I hated the coating on it. It had that oily look to it. The picture was beautiful, but I didn't like the coating. Is this one the same, or does it not have the same look???
What kind of GPU would I need to take advantage of this monitor fully? Would an RTX 4080 Super do the job?
The 4080 Super can do the job. I did a review on the ROG STRIX 4080 Super : th-cam.com/video/0hStbk7Ehu8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ylwJ_3HIGzaZEKhA
I have some 4K gameplay
Do you notice big difference from g8 34? Need your help i am currently using g8 34... I don't mind matte coating
The higher resolution and better OLED screen is in my opinion a huge difference.
You might not miss the ultra wide since 34 to 32 isn’t a huge difference and you might like the taller screen
@@FIREWOLFTECH thanks for your help💗
Great review! How do you think this one compares to the Asus PG32UDCM?
I still haven’t got the chance to get one, they’ve always been sold out or when they stocked in, sold out immediately 🤬
Ordered mine! Would a msi 4070 nvidia push this monitor to full potential?
Depends entirely on what you do/play with it. 4070 wont be able to hit 240fps on 4K with newer games and high graphics settings.
Vrr flickering?
Definitely
Probably does lol but I haven’t noticed it on my end yet
how does it compare so far with the Alienware Alienware AW3225QF
They’re both great since they use the same QD-OLED with the major difference being glossier on AW vs matte on the G8.
Another difference is that the G8 is flat while the AW is curved.
In my opinion, I think it’ll come down to your setup, lighting, and whether or not you really need glossy or matte.
It’s good to have options 🔥
Nice first impressions video but can you confirm if this monitor is g sync compatible? On the introduction video for Samsung it says it is but on the website it only shows that it is amd free sync compatible.
At this moment on the current NVIDIA drivers, the control panel doesn’t show that this monitor is G-Sync compatible, however I had it enabled during gaming.
In NVIDIA’s website, the G80SD is not listed, but could be in the future.
For example, when the G9 oled first dropped, it wasn’t G-Sync compatible certified when I was using it, but now it is.
@@FIREWOLFTECH thank you for taking the time to reply truly. You earned my subscription sir 💯
Thanks ❤️🔥❤️🔥 I really appreciate the sub and support ! 🥹
No usb-c can be fixed by using a dock, right?
Yeah you could always use a dock or adapter, but a USB-C input is still better to have
@@FIREWOLFTECH Better to have as in “ease of use” or…
Ease of use, support full resolution @ 240Hz (some docks limit that output), charging, and a cleaner setup
My most anticipated monitor of 2024. Qd oled technology is the best 😂... Need to decide quickly since got promotion during pre order...
That is a sweet promotion 🔥 QD OLED is great, just keep in mind that this has a matte coating (to me it’s good) but some HATE matte
how does this compare to the alienware 32 curved OLED?
They’re both great 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitors.
At 32-inches I’m personally liking flat screen better.
As for the coating, I don’t mind matte at all, and makes it easier to use during the day letting in natural sun.
They both have their pros and cons, where the G8 has the annoying smart OS
Very nice monitor for gaming, but how does it work for productive purposes other than gaming?
I’ve been using many OLED monitors and they’ve all been good for productive work. I will say that the first generation oled monitors had slight noticeable color fringing and were also less bright.
This new gen QD-OLED is a good jump 🔥
I spend like 80% productively because of my channel 😅
@@FIREWOLFTECH Are you working on a Mac or a Windows PC? I'm not sure whether to go with a gaming monitor or an Apple monitor for work.
When I drop the review, I’ll be showcasing MacOS. I use both, but on desktop, it’s more of my Gaming PC
Mannn which one u using ? Cause I was finna get asus rog ultra wide because of u I ain’t trynna be confuse bro
😅 I stopped having a primary and even built a new gaming PC just so I can test out more lol
the ROG ultra wide is FIRE 🔥
@@FIREWOLFTECH alright well out of this monitor and the lg and asus ultra wide what would u choose for a primary monitor ?
For me I prefer super ultra wides, but 32”4K is really nice, so if I had to choose a main ,I’d go for either this G8 OLED or LG 32GS95UE. I like the versatility of matte coatings.
I’m hoping for higher resolution oled ultra wides to come out to really compete with pixel density
Can someone send me a link to those beautiful white speakers ?
Why no USB C?
That’s what I wanna know 😒
Did you tweaked anything why did screen look so dark in forza 5?
Hi, I would be interested in buying this monitor. I read that it is not gsync compatibile certified. Having a 4080 super.... could I have stuttering or tearing problems?
@lostalraedy free sync is for AMD videocards; gsync is for nvidia videocards. Which videocard did you use to do the review?
With a 4080 you will not get stuttering or lagging on this monitor cause the gpu is capable of handling everything, but you might not be using the monitor its full potential capacity . If you want to be sure you can use it at 100% go for a gsync monitor just to be sure everything works like it should
At the moment no, but I’m pretty sure it’ll eventually get the certification. For example, the PG32UCDM uses the same QD-OLED panel and is listed as G-Sync compatible.
Right now, you would have to manually enable VRR on the menu settings, and enable G-Sync in control panel. So far, I haven’t experienced any stuttering or tears. I’m pretty it’ll be fine
Does this come with a Vesa mount adapter as well? I don't believe that was mentioned in the video. But thank you for this still 🙏
No need for VESA mount adapter 🙌🏽🔥 it’s vesa 100x100 mountable
do you think a 3080ti would be able to handle this monitor
I hope so😂
Super disappointed with the lack of usb c. I was hoping for something to use with my MacBook straight out of the box. I know the 34 inch oled G8 had one so them not putting it on here was a huge miss.
Yes huge miss 😒 like I would take USB-C over the smart Tizen OS lol
Should I buy it, it's $1350 Canadian after early order discount. Is there anything non oled comparable to this, with a lower price.I want it for PS5.
If you're looking for 4K 32" Non OLED, I've reviewed the 32-inch G70B : th-cam.com/video/iItQa9lSdiE/w-d-xo.html and the LG 32GQ950-B : th-cam.com/video/bBEDjJPSQ4s/w-d-xo.html
I still think this monitor would be better for PS5, OLED just looks amazing and there's eARC support for soundbars
Acer nitro xv272k, it's smaller, but looks better than this monitor imo. I used both. Only 350
@@FIREWOLFTECH unfortunately those prices is on par with this newer g8, it will not be worth getting those instead of this g8.
@@FIREWOLFTECHeARC ?? Or just arc? HDMI port looks like it just labeled arc
Is there any button to downside to 24 inch full hd, like on competing monitors?
No
I bought this at best buy Saturday the 8th. I got it hooked up to my ps5. I play mlb the show @ 120hz and it works great! When I play madden which is 60 hz I see white lines and dots all over. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you for any advice.
Have you tried enabling VRR in the menu settings ? I haven't experienced those white lines and dots.
@FIREWOLFTECH I'll try that. Thank you for the response, and I subbed to your channel.
Monitor looks extremely dull in gaming, could it be your camera?
It looks extremely dim. Also thing about youtube. It looks like the colors pop but in real life it doesn't look like this. This is how i got fooled into buying the samsung oddy neo g7 32"
On youtube that monitor looked amazing. Got it home hooked it up and it looked meh in HDR and the colors were decent nothing to right home about
Can't tell the differences between matte and glossy monitor
I cant see fps meter 😢
I think I'm a OG when it comes to using a glossy screen.. I have used the LG 32 SL 8000 sinds it's release back in 2009.. So i'm fine using a matte screen now hahah
Oh damn ! I would’ve imagine you preferred glossy or nothing lol 😅
@@FIREWOLFTECH Just trying something different 😋
so，we must have a dark room for oled monitor
For QD-OLEDs it's best to use in a dimmer environment since QD-OLEDs lack a polarizing layer which causes raised blacks in bright rooms. WOLEDs do not have this issue. If you like to use your monitor in both bright and dark rooms, I'd consider a WOLED, If you mainly game in darker lit rooms, QDOLED
@@boltup2220 This issue seems to be much less pronounced on the Samsung compared to the glossy alternatives tho.
Arc hdmi for a soundbar perfect monitor
It’s an awesome features 🔥
Wow amazing new monitor ! What game you play at first ?
Modern warfare 3 🔥
Nice vid thank you!
ehh no 3 year burn in and no gloss is rough for the price.
Thanks for the feedback 🔥
I think burn-in at this point is minor especially when oled has been around for a long time now many new devices are starting to use oled. But thankfully there are other brands that offer longer warranties.
As for gloss, I think it really depends on your setup. Gloss is awesome and I do prefer it, but that’s because I can control my own lighting. There are pros and cons, but this matte display on the G80S isn’t that bad in my opinion
if u call samsung they tell u that it has warrent on burn in as long as u didn't damage the screen
@@msg360 there is nowhere stated SAMSUNG supports that out of standard one year.
@@Boostedbeard Call technical Support they all said Burn in is covered in the 3 year warrently "As long as you didn't caused damage or spilage " to the screen spoke too 3 different technical reps not sales people and that's what they said, you can look at all the scare tactics and miss information all you want online , but call them Directly and that what they say, and don't ask their chat Bot. Also dead pixel is covered in the warrently
No offense but it’s like it’s a new review everytime I look up is anybody keeping these monitors at least a month ?
none taken. Since I test out new monitors all the time using them for gaming and productivity, I can make a review based off of my experiences.
Its similar for other reviewers, especially when it pays off to have it earlier. This video isn't a review, just an unboxing and first impressions so I should have a review video within a week.
For longevity, its hard to test out for more than a month when there's new monitors being released all the time 🥲 I'm only one person at the end of the day
Wow, matte finish.... no way. Great video!
lol yeah I understand, in my opinion it’s a great matte display.
I just did a video of the new glossy ROG STRIX OLED, looks awesome in the dark
I went to Microcenter to buy it. Once I saw the matte screen I left the store.
Damn 😅
No matter how good a display is, if it ain’t glossy, the wallet won’t come out lol
Good thing other brands offer the glossier panel !
Que lindas tus manos
8:35 the screen brightness is very low. I guess thats the downside of oleds
8:35 I had my curtains open to let in as much sunlight as possible plus my studio lights. You can see where the sun hits it the most in the bottom right corner.
In forbidden west footage I have the curtains closed but kept studio lights on.
Should’ve added those details 😅
