Samsung has unveiled the Odyssey OLED G8 monitor lineup featuring two distinct sizes designed for high-performance gaming and content creation. The new series introduces a 32-inch model alongside a 27-inch variant, both built around advanced QD-OLED panel technology. This launch marks a significant update to the brand's display portfolio with a focus on immersive visual experiences.
New monitors feature QD-OLED panels with 240Hz refresh rates for gaming
The core of these monitors lies in their native 4K UHD resolution and support for VESA DisplayHDR True Black certification. The larger 32-inch screen carries the True Black 500 standard while the smaller 27-inch model features the True Black 400 specification. Both units achieve a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and utilize native 10-bit panels to cover 99.5 percent of the DCI-P3 color space.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 32-inch (S32HG802S) | Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 27-inch (S27HG802S) |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Size | 32 inch (31.5 type) / 27 inch | 27 inch |
| Panel Type | QD-OLED | QD-OLED |
| Resolution | 4K UHD | 4K UHD |
| Refresh Rate | 240Hz | 240Hz |
| Response Time | 0.03ms (GtG) | 0.03ms (GtG) |
Gaming performance is driven by a 240Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 0.03ms GtG response time to ensure smooth motion clarity. The displays include AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support and feature a suite of gaming tools such as Black Equalizer, Virtual Crosshair, and Auto Source Switch+. Connectivity options are robust with DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 ports alongside dual HDMI 2.1 inputs and a USB-C port supporting 98W power delivery.
Samsung has integrated advanced thermal management systems to address potential burn-in risks inherent to OLED technology. The Pulsing Heat Pipe dissipates heat up to five times faster than traditional graphite sheets while the Thermal Modulation System automatically adjusts brightness during extended usage sessions. Additional features include a built-in screen saver and logo detection that lowers brightness on static UI elements to further minimize degradation.
The monitors also feature Samsung Glare Free technology which uses special film to reduce reflection more effectively than standard anti-reflective coatings. An ergonomic stand provides full adjustability for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot positions to suit various viewing angles. The 32-inch model is certified by Pantone for accurate color reproduction of over 2,100 colors and more than 110 skin tones.
