Samsung’s latest gaming monitor Odyssey OLED G8 is now available
for pre-order, priced at $1,499. It is the first in the company’s line of
gaming monitors to feature a quantum dot OLED (QD-OLED) display.
Other features of the monitor include a 1800R curve, 3440 x 1440 resolution, and a fast refresh rate of 175Hz. The device is capable of producing up to 400 nits of brightness using the True Black 400 spec.
One of the impressive things about the Odyssey OLED G8 is
that it can be used for playing games without a console or PC directly attached
to it, thanks to its in-built Samsung Gaming Hub. Users can also stream content
on Netflix, YouTube TV, and more using this feature.
In addition to these specs, the monitor comes with the
SmartThings app which offers support for Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C, and
allows users to monitor and control connected IoT devices,. A Core Lighting
Plus system on the back of the monitor lights up the surface behind it with
colors that match those displayed on the screen.
