While Samsung’s latest mobile products like its foldable phones, smart rings, and Watch Ultra have been the talk of the town, the company has launched an OLED gaming monitor with anti-burn-in measures. Let’s discuss the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 in further detail including its supposed price in Nepal.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 Overview
Design and Display
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 monitor has a futuristic-looking sleek metal design. It is available in a single silver colour with lines going through the back. The monitor has something called CoreLighting+ which is a circular LED strip right at its centre. The viewing device has a height-adjustable stand that allows it to tilt, pivot, and swivel too.
Talking of the screen, we are looking at a 32 inches of flat OLED panel. It comes in a glare-free finish and offers 4K resolution. Moreover, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is rapidly fast as well with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. Additionally, it typically goes as bright as 250 nits while covering 99% DCI-P3 colour gamut.
OLED Safeguard+
Burn-in issues have plagued OLED screens ever since their inception. This is why Samsung has equipped the Odyssey OLED G8 with OLED Safeguard+ technology, which is a combination of multiple measures taken to avoid burn-in. Firstly, this monitor has a Pulsating Heat Pipe inside it which regulates the internal temperature of the device.
In addition, the Thermal Modulation System is also put forth. It is an algorithm that predicts the surface temperature of the panel as well as detects static images like logos and taskbar being displayed on the monitor. It then controls the display’s brightness accordingly to regulate the heat produced.

Other Features
Other than that, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 packs the NQ8 AI Gen 3 processor that upscales low-res images to nearly 4K to offer you the best viewing quality. This processor also utilises AI to get rid of motion blurs by sharpening and smoothening moving objects and texts on the monitor.
It is also equipped with built-in stereo speakers that can boost the sound output for added clarity. You can tap into Gaming Hub or Smart TV apps through it. This monitor has plenty of connectivity options which include both wired and wireless. For wired connections, it has two HDMI 2.1, one Display Port 1.4, two USB 3.0, and a PC in ports. On the other hand, you get WiFi 5 and Bluetooth v5.2.
