Are Oled Gaming Monitors Worth It

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gaming monitors have become the next level with this OLED display panel. Most games are usually brightly light so I didn't realize I'd appreciate having OLED panel for darker scenes. Wow. The colorful lights in the back is an extra bonus and the overall profile of this monitor looks very sleek. I do wish it was 4K but perhaps LG will release that next!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For gamers, Samsung’s OLED monitors offer a fast response time, often under 1ms, which translates to smooth, blur-free motion that’s especially noticeable in fast-paced games. OLED panels also have low input lag, making them responsive and well-suited to competitive gaming. With high refresh rates in some models, these monitors can fully utilize the capabilities of high-end GPUs, offering a top-tier gaming experience.

One of the best monitors I have ever owned. The colors are super vibrant. OLED is where it's at for gaming and the refresh rate is amazing. I experience no lag when playing FPS @ 240Hz. Love how you can use your mouse for the OSD. Thank you, ASUS, for your innovative product. It is greatly appreciated!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung 32” Odyssey OLED G8 Gaming Monitor. After spending several days using this monitor for my gaming experience as well as using it for design work, I can honestly say that this is one of the best monitors that I have ever used. Games like Forza, Call of Duty, Fortnite and several others have never looked this good or played this well on other monitors that I have owned. This Samsung OLED monitor provides deep blacks and very accurate colors. It offers a great response time during gaming and up to 240Hz refresh rate. It comes with a plethora of apps for streaming content up to 4K HDR. It comes with a remote that has a solar panel built-in for charging. This makes getting to the settings and content a lot easier than your standard monitor. The Samsung G8 monitor also offers a Customized Picture Mode, Slim Bezel Design, Back lighting, FreeSync Premium Pro, Game Bar, and a Game Hub. The stand is very pleasing to look at, built well and is very sturdy. Anyone looking or needing to upgrade their current monitor, this offers everything that you will ever need. I also like the fact that it is a flat monitor and not a curved one.

10 year old, loved it.

Definitely recommended, best oled display and worth

Outstanding price point for someone considering entering into the 4K OLED gaming in 2024.

We have bought tow of these monitors. For our use which does not include gaming they are perfect for our use.

Awesome IPS monitor. One of the best IPS I've seen over the last 10 years. This could be a symbol of peak IPS before OLED tech swamps the market. PLUSSES: - Great out of the box experience. It just works. sRGB mode looks pretty good and colors appear saturated. Bright enough too. - 260hz works. No DSC needed. Frametimes are jittery at 260hz, but there's also a 250hz mode that works better. - G-Sync works quite well up to 240hz with minimal tearing. Very good implementation. I can't say the same with other monitors. For 240hz monitors, OLED included, I often had to cap FPS at 220 or lower to make G-Sync stop tearing. - Low input lag. Responsive feeling. - Power supply is integrated into the back of the panel. No power brick. - The matte coating is not too aggressive. I've seen a lot worse. This is tame. - Professional looking design from the front. MINUSES: - IPS glow. Backlight bleed seems to be inescapable with IPS, even this panel. The glow starts at the corners then slowly creeps around. For now, the center of my panel has no glow. - Bad contrast. Bad contrast seems to always be a thing with IPS. - ELMB sync doesn't work well. I didn't care. - HDR performance is mid at best. OVERALL: This thing slaps for a monitor priced under $400. It's a relief to find a banger IPS monitor that just works. Don't have to deal with the gimmicks of early-gen OLED monitors.
