The OLED has better motion handling and a DisplayPort input with a slightly higher refresh rate, so your graphics card doesn't need to support HDMI 2.

The Samsung monitor offers better overall picture quality thanks to its QD-OLED panel that delivers brighter highlights. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.Samsung were promoting this as the “World’s first” back at CES in January, but at the same time Dell announced their Alienware AW3423DW display based on the same panel and with largely the same specs, which was also promoted as the World’s first. The USB type-C port enables you to power up, transmit data, and even send display signals between devices with just one connection.

The Samsung also has a built-in smart system, making it easier to stream your favorite content without the need for a PC. I originally chose the LG monitor for it's great picture quality, but the G8 OLED makes that look like cheap trash in comparison. Looked into the HDR Brightness performance with AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards; added photos of the Text Clarity with Better ClearType Tuner. The Samsung OLED G8 comes with a small but solid stand that requires a Phillips-head screwdriver to assemble. Each household may only recycle one of each type of product and will receive only one trade-up discount for each product type recycled.HDR gaming looks good, but colors look better in SDR for general desktop usage, as the aggressive ABL causes large areas to be dim in HDR. Unfortunately, this performance is specific to dark rooms and doesn't translate as well in brighter environments, as black levels raise. The LG 42 C2 OLED, which is a TV we tested as a monitor, and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G85SB S34BG85 both use an OLED panel, but the Samsung is a QD-OLED. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

On the other hand, the Corsair has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for competitive gaming, and it supports 4k signals up to 120Hz from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which the Samsung monitor can't do. With the power of OLED technology and a sleek design, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SB is your key to stunning visuals, deep blacks, and immersive gaming or entertainment. You can see photos of the pixels from the AW3423DW review below, and the results are also valid for the Samsung monitor.When using a DisplayPort - mini DisplayPort cable, some functions, including the "auto" function of switching the monitor mode from "graphics" to "game" mode, are unavailable (grayed out), allowing only manual turning off and on of the game mode.

The original dated bill of sale must be presented upon request as proof of purchase to Samsung or Samsung’s ASC. It's particularly clear when minimizing and maximizing windows on the desktop, as you can see the brightness changing. Unfortunately, the subpixel structure causes some minor text clarity issues, as well as some color fringing around windows.This is what it looks like with Better ClearType Tuner with the Contrast at '1000', as you can see here, and with it off here. To get a proper image, you need to change the aspect ratio in the OSD menu to 16:9, but you'll get black bars on the sides. We originally tested it with firmware 1421 but have since retested parts of it with firmware 1442 and 1520.
