"Only the beefiest gaming rigs can dream of powering its 3,840 x 2,160-pixel resolution at the full 240-Hz refresh rate, but those who can will be hard-pressed to find anything stronger. I got to spend some time with the 27-inch version of this panel and was extremely impressed with its incredible image quality, whether watching movies or playing games. A big part of that is the QD-OLED panel, which is capable of producing perfectly dark black levels, as well as bright, vivid colors."
"You'll likely need to turn the quality down, or rely heavily on multi-frame generation, in order to reach 200+ FPS at 4K in modern titles. In fact, I wouldn't even consider using this monitor unless you're on an RTX 3000 Series GPU or newer, the first generation to support the HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity needed for 4K at 240 Hz."
The Samsung Odyssey G8 32-inch model features a 3,840 x 2,160 QD-OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and exceptional contrast for deep blacks and vivid colors. The monitor is on sale for $1,100, down from $1,300. Most modern games can utilize the panel's capabilities to produce immersive, cinematic scenes. Achieving full 240Hz at 4K requires an extremely powerful GPU; even an RTX 5090 cannot hit 240Hz at high settings in demanding titles. Reaching 200+ FPS at 4K will likely need reduced quality settings or aggressive multi-frame generation. The monitor supports FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync. Radeon RX 6000 Series or newer GPUs may work; older cards are not recommended.
