Samsung Odyssey G8 LS34BG850SUXXU Curved OLED 34" UWQHD Smart Gaming Monitor - 0.1ms, 175Hz, HDMI 2.1, Full Smart Platform, Speakers

Bought this display recently, really happy with it. Build is lovely, Back plate is aluminium, with a glossy front finish. Smart features are a nice bonus, There is a nice mode where you can change the black tones to be a bit brighter to become a greyish tint, really helps with fps games. Just note in mind it uses micro HDMI 2.1, mini Display port 1.4, and two usb c ports, one which can read (dp 1.4) input and charge your device and the other which you can use to plug an external device to use with the monitor. I would recommend usb c to Display port connection though if your using any of the asus zephyrus linups which dont support hdmi 2.1 i would personally get a dongle. If your looking for an HDMI to micro HDMI cable (Their hard to find) i would recommend hama. Overall a great monitor. Well worth it!Edit:I have had this display for a while now, holds up great, I have not had any OLED burn-in which is a relief, not used the TV mode that much but it’s always handy, watching films in this is great, especially when the movies have a 21:9 picture. Sound quality is good, fit is perfect for where I wanted it and it was easy to set up. In the end, this was a good purchase, I would recommend you buy this product if you have the cash. Always nice to go from 16:9 to a 21:9 display, Very Nice Product Samsung! 😃Edit 2:It’s has been over a year so far, the display has been amazing. I use this display for work and video games and it performs well in both. I still have no OLED burnin yet (which is very good) and it still performs how it did when I opened the box. I have had one small issue though, with this display after a year of use sometimes (if you decide to keep your display at maximum height) it will slowly lower itself, this is because of the weight of the screen compared the stand mechanism itself. It is still an excellent purchase, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a curved ultra wide.

This monitor replaced a failed project of two (cheapish) screens. The line created by the bezels of the two screens was a game breaker for me and the picture was a little grainy, probably because the resolution was 'stretched' to cover both screens.I sent them back, and bought this Samsung. The image quality is fantastic and the 1000 curve helps to create an amazingly involved sensation. I played 'X4' (a space opera) in a darkened room, headphones on and it genuinely changed the entire atmosphere in the game ( I should add that my desktop PC is a liquid cooled Core I9, all SSD, with a GeForce RTX 4070 Super O.C graphics card, which I put together myself). The picture is pin sharp, no ghosting with great colours, and even the stand didn't take up much desk space. The monitor settings are accessed through a handy little toggle switch to the center of the screen, underneath, which is also the on/off switch and lights up blue when on. Wall mounting is also easy.Easily the best monitor that I have ever been lucky enough to own. Recommended.

So I like the actual display and image quality, but there are a couple of things that are a little annoying. I use this for software develop, not games, so I've no idea how it will perform playing a modern game with a high frame rate, but for writing software and watching the odd movie in the background, it's great. The table I had it on whilst being sturdy, did suffer from a bit of shake when typing, which caused the monitor to wobble because the stand isn't the greatest. Because the monitor is so wide, the vertical part of the stand twists ever so slightly under the strain. Like most things, it's built to a budget and I wish they had spent a little bit more on the stand. However, that's my setup so it is what it is. The annoying thing is the picture shifts. You can be looking at the screen, reading something and suddenly the entire image seems to move diagonally a pixel. I'm wondering if this is some feature to help with screen burn. I'm getting used to it, but it can be annoying sometimes especially when concentrating on something on the screen. Not tried any of the audio or PIP or other features, I just wanted a wide screen for working on. I paid £798 for it and I'm pleased with the value for money. The price has now jumped to £999 and I think that's a bit over-priced for what you get.

I kept my eye on this monitor for ages and as soon as the price dropped by a fair chunk, took the plunge. I was excited to receive the first OLED screen I'd ever owned. The monitor arrived and was sparsely packaged in a single shelled box for such an expensive product.After setting the monitor up, which was relatively simple, I plugged it all in, rebooted my machine and eventually got a picture after a lot of initial setup.Instantly I was bombarded with a horrendous hissing / whining noise from the monitor that cut straight through my head. The pitch and volume seemed to depend on the colour and intensity of what was in the middle of the screen. I searched the net and found "coil whine" was a big issue for some people who immediately RMA'd the monitor as it was clearly faulty.It's a little hard to believe that for a product that originally retailed for £1300, Samsung would let a monitor with such a horrific flaw go to market. 3 minutes of sitting in front of this thing with altering pitches of whine slicing through my head was more than enough to hit the refund button, package it back up and send it back.Really disappointing as the panel itself looked incredible in the small amount of time I used it.
