- SAMSUNG ODYSSEY NEO G8: Still Great?
Today, I have another Neo G8 32" gaming monitor awareness on that great price point now at $745. One if the best Mini LED monitors with 1,196 Local Dimming Zones and that Peak Brightness of over 1,000nits. SDR looks like HDR with the Local Dimming power options included on this Odyssey Neo G8 Mini LED monitor.
Should the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32" gaming monitor be on your radar for 2024. I believe so as the input lag (9ms on the Neo) beats other competitors say like the Innocn 32" Mini LED at (20ms).

Mini LED really makes whatever’s on your screen feel more alive. OLED is great, but I was more impressed by mini led panels
Is the input lag good on this? I want to get it to play apex and for the quantum dot technology
Obviously OLED has perfect blacks but I will never use OLED for computers, too much of a risk for image retention.
Still absolutely love my Neo G7
I think the Neo G7 is a better buy overall. Great prices nowdays too
I recently picked it up. Love it. Blacks are pretty deep. Deep as oled blacks? No, but the brightness blows away any oled I’ve tried, and I’ve had more than enough that I’ve tried. Image clarity is a thing to behold.
It really is awesome. Congrats man..
Bought this for just over $700 on Amazon. Says 4 stars, but that could be because Amazon consolidates multiple models under one review page, which includes the G8 Ultrawide. Regardless, I'm excited to try it out with Stalker 2.
Thats going to look. Nice! Awesome.
Man i love your channel...
You know what is good type of monitors.
This guy know what he saying!
Neo G8 still treating you good? Lol I love mine still to this day. I cannot get rid of my OG G7 too. To many memories.. lol
Of course, i enjoy it every day lol.
Neo G8 and Neo G7 are kings monitors otherwise yes too many memories, really something else lol
Those almost like Masterpiece and still does today.
I look forward coming next later generation of monitor with 10.000 or 20.000 Mini LED local dimming.
I heard 4.000 local dimming zones of monitor will coming in this year or next year.
This is my main monitor. Bought it at $1k over a year ago. It's an awesome awesome panel. I have an LG 27'' OLED right next to it, and this hands down has better image quality.
@@scarpint3 I agree. Its a really fun impactful monitor. Still looks great today even with all these new oleds coming out.
Really? You mean Neo g8 is better than your Oled for gaming???
@@erfannazarian for single player games, yes. All day.
@scarpint3 Good to hear that. I was in delimma. By your answer I know the right choice. Thanks
Can you disable DSC on it? To use DLDSR? I just noticed that this monitor apparently has a very good BFI implementation, and I'm gaining interest on it.
I use my Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 now for 3 Months.. and i dont realise the curved anymore.. its just fantastic bro.. but i change my brightness from 100 to 50 .. its just to bright for my Eyes
I got used to it right away. Light cannon for sure
Hey, do you think it is a good monitor for productivity? Mostly, I want to use it for reading text and media consumption, then maybe try ps5 at some point .. those productivity monitors don't have colors and 100+Hzlike these and oled burns and text clarity is worst on those so
@@dr.sharkmonk374 i have the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 and ASUS PG32UCDM @home. For me The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 ist better.
Still a great display as I bought one new and kept it even though I have purchased many other monitors over the years. Looking forward to the new BenQ mini LED as well.
@@walterwhite2148 yea that Benq looks interesting

@@dr.sharkmonk374 it’s a good display for productivity being 4k but some people don’t care for a curved display for mainly reading text but I am used to it. Text is very sharp on that display
Getting a Samsung OLED G8 this monday as upgrade to my Neo G8. Will be interesting to see how it compares. Still think the Neo G8 is amazing but I've noticed my 4090 struggling in newer titles that use Unreal Engine 5 with having really bad stutter and 1% lows. VA panel technology can't handle this very well. OLED is a lot more consistent. So I expect a huge benefit in motion clarity. I will keep my Neo G8 for my racing cockpit setup however. It's replacing my old regular G7 which has served me well. I got a huge discount on the OLED G8 through benefits at work program at my new job. I used to pay full price haha.
Just a FYI it not the 4090. It the unreal engin causing the stutter.
I have a 32inch neo g8 can't beat this monitor its the best for everything oled has to many downs when it comes to hdr brightness and screen burn
Yo Vik, happy Saturday.😊
Happy Sat Michael!
crazy. this video was made 3 months ago and its NOV 24 today. These places are having black Friday "deals" and saying 42%, was 1300 now 739 is bullshit. But the price has always been 739?
They always try to make it seem like a better deal then it is. But I have never seen this at $699 for example.. Always around $739-799 on sales. Usually $850.
@@steveperez-wq5wr find me this new for 700 so I can buy
If this hit 400, it would be a must buy. It’s getting very close to that with Samsung EPP pricing. I hope Samsung releases a 27 “ 4k 240hz miniled soon. It would make a good stacked monitor choice.
@@AgentMoler they do need a real refresh for sure..
Can you make a video for the best settings for the Neo G8? Or do you have one already
I been looking at getting a new monitor for my ps5 pro to get the best picture and performance out of my console. There's so many but I do keep looking at the neo G8 Qled 32" monitor. I know it's not oled but it does seem very good. I'm a casual player but wouldn't mind getting an oled if I could get a 32" under 1000 bucks but I have seen so many different monitors I can't choose lol
I just picked up my PS5 Pro! Il have a 4 way vs video on the console if it helps. Oled, qd oled, glossy and matte. Mini led etc..
love mine. the best monitor

@dr.sharkmonk374 very nice blacks. Colors are amazing. Clearity is great because it has the mini LEDs. I use it for gaming and is great for everything. I make all of my PowerPoints on it and it does great. Some complain about scan lines but zero complaints for mine. 4k/8k videos on RUclips look so good lol. I paired it with my 4090 video card
Wow, right on time! My Neo G7 is getting delivered today. Purchased for $433 after taxes on a crazy deal. Hoping for the best!
Anddd I received a broken monitor, huge white line straight down the middle of the screen. So the Samsung QC thing is real 😂
Noooooooo sorry man.. these things should never happen...
I just got the Neo Oled G8 (G80sd) and there are definitely some features that i miss from my old mini-led monitor (QLED G8). One of them being the brightness as it made the colors really stand out in hdr. I also never experienced scan lines and blooming is rarely noticeable in text and in some game menus. Suffice to say i might just end up keeping my Neo G8 as a second monitor so i highly recommend it.

@dr.sharkmonk374 I'm not entirely sure how to answer you since I'm visually impaired, so my answer might not reflect the average consumer. But in all honestly text and colors look fantastic however you do notice some blooming around text for example on RUclips comments specially if local dimming is set to high but I never felt like it was an issue or too distracting.
@chelseas_lament4624 yeah I better pick a productivity versions over gaming versions.. Given my major focus is that I hardly game so
Man.. I watched your vids for the last ~7 days to buy the KTC M27T20 but then I was bit reluctant because of the VA panel so I thought of KTC M27P20 which is IPS, 4K (More Expensive) but then saw a video that mentions it's not worth the price etc... And now I just said F it.. I won't buy anything.. Maybe you can get me on the right track again ?
I'm mostly using it on websites, gaming here and there & some times watching movies / football matches. Btw am currently using an Asus MG279Q 2K IPS panel.
G8 mini LED 240hz display is the best 4k LCD display because it has just 2.8ms average response time which is insane even 540hz 1080p TN zowie monitor has like 2.5ms average response time. So in theory Samsung VA can get less than 1.5Ms response time at 540hz. So imagine a 1440p or 4K 500hz dyac 2 monitor based on NEO G8 VA panel it'll be the best monitor for competitive gaming.
Im planning on buy this monitor but i am afraid that since is a VA panel it has black smearing that is basically the textures flickering when you use sharpening/antialiasing or high contrast in some games, is there a way u could test that or tell me your experience?. Again, it only appears when you apply some sharpening like from the nvidia or amd drivers
I got it 1 month ago, i ve never seen a better quality with SDR color, constrast and colors are fabulous. HDR looks bad tho, dont know if this is my unit but constrast and color are washed out and worse than SDR
@@Astray59 I have noticed even on mine on win 11 HDR looks washed. Must be a win 11 or 10 issue. Console look good in HDR
@@DisplayReality i see, well brightness is so high anyway that even in SDR it looks like HDR xD And we have the "Contrast Enchancer" that is basically a self HDR build in the monitor xD
Hey Viktor, I bought the og g7 last year after watching your videos about it and I still love it but I wanted to try 4k and I got my eye on neo g8 but I don't know if it's worth upgrading from og g7 to neo g8 ? is it really that better and crispier?
Also I've seen others suggesting that buying oled is better but unfortunately in my country (Iran) there is no burn in warranty for oleds and many models are unavailable here , and oleds are way more expensive .
So do you think is it worth upgrading from og g7 to neo g8 or I should wait for better oleds without burn in in the near future to become available in my country?
Ty
@@sejudie7391 I would say wait for next yrs OLEDs or get the Benq EX321UX. I will be getting that soon and its the best mini led monitor on the market. Very bright better vs the Neo.
@@DisplayReality Thanks man ❤️
Changing the v in the d… roger🤪
🤣
fw 1003.x on lunch 2022
now up to 1011.x on MID 2024
something change?
Ill try to find a change log. I have not updated my for a while.
hello Mr Viktor thank you for the videos and the knowledge, i just want to ask you and i hope you replay to me because it's too important to me, i have an option to buy a neo g8 for 11k dollar or a g70b 32" for 6.5k dollar or waiting for new oled future in 2025, now i have a g7 2k and i want to experience the 4k , i have told you all my needs so please help me chose the good decision for my situation.
Why are you changing the Channels name?
Viktors reality was when I wanted to do VR. But when I started reviewing monitors i feel display reality fits the channel name better.
@@DisplayReality Makes sense. When you put it that way that name is better for the Channel.
this or pay 200 more for the MSI OLED?
@@ant1kryst for HDR MSI OLED but get the 32" version as input lag is a little high on the 27". Tho this G8 wins easily in sdr mode.
@@DisplayReality I really want a 32. How bad is 1440p gaming on a 32 4k? Don't mind that it's worse than native 27 1440p. I just don't want to be forced to lose performance just for a 32 inch screen.
@@ant1kryst it looks great. Oled or qd oled. I have tried 1440p and when gaming nonissues. Only if you see alot if text or work scenes would you have some issues due to the non native panel. But for gaming its great.
@@DisplayReality thats the plan. 32. but drop it to 1440p for AAA games. then maybe DLSS 4k for games that are not that intensive. i just have a 4070 super. just really want the 32 size and 4k mostly for movies.
appreciate the responses.
Would u say this is has good has the oled 240hz
I would say it is the fastest va at 240hz ler rtings. Best input lag also. Many ppl forget the input lag
Thanks reply, i did have oled but it stung my eyes i do beleive this is easier on the eyes ?@@DisplayReality
I scope this used one but i am afraid of scan lines.
Hopefully you wont. I believe at 240hz 4k on oc it may show. Let me know what you see. There are new hpdates but if you are happy with the picture your good to go.
@@DisplayReality you use hdmi or dp for 4k 240hz?
@@Eusebiugh usually dp but since my pc or shall i say i now use 1 connection i will start to use hdmi 2.1
What settings are you using for it
I use custom preset with black equalizer 13 and local dimming high in sdr and hdr modes.
Is it worth it for gtx 4070 ti super ?
Yes.. I have a 4070 ti no issues
Just got the G8 for $800 au, about $500 us
Great price! 4k Mini led. Congrats!🎉
