With the Odyssey Neo G8, Samsung wants to appeal to demanding gamers with a powerful system and a big wallet. This is because Samsung uses a combination of the extremely high 4K resolution and a fast refresh rate of 240 Hz. Such panels are still costly, especially since Samsung uses a VA panel with mini-LED technology. This drastically improves the contrasts and ensures a powerful HDR image due to a maximum luminosity of 2,000 candela in HDR mode. With such high frame rates, it is all the more beneficial that the screen has been given G-Sync support. This minimises tearing effects should the frame rates fluctuate strongly. You have two HDMI type 2.1 sockets and a DisplayPort 1.4 connection. Two USB-A ports take care of your peripherals or charge your smartphone. The back of the screen has a futuristic look and is also impressively illuminated. Height adjustability ensures pleasant comfort for your daily work in front of the screen.
