Last year, Samsung announced the Odyssey OLED G8 monitor at IFA 2022. And now, a few months later, the price of the model has been revealed.

Here's What We Know

The monitor is equipped with a QD-OLED display with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. The panel has a curvature radius of 1800R, a maximum refresh rate of 175 Hz and supports True Black 400 technology, which provides brightness at 400 nits. HDR is there too. The diagonal is 34".

One of the features of the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is the Gaming Hub. With it, you can use the monitor without being connected to a computer. The Control Center provides access to Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass and NVIDIA GeForce Now cloud services.

SmartThings software allows you to use the monitor to control Internet of Things devices and adjust the backlight, which is on the back side. HDMI, mini DisplayPort and USB-C connectors are also available.
