32″ Samsung Odyssey G8 4K 240Hz QD OLED Gaming Monitor with Bonus $300 Best Buy Gift Card for $1299.99

The 32″ 4K QD OLED 240Hz panel from Samsung was first unveiled during CES 2024. There are other brands (like Alienware) that have released monitors using this panel earlier in the year, but this is the first time we’ve seen one directly from Samsung. The Samsung Odyssey G80SD is equipped with a quantum dot OLED panel. Quantum dot, or “QD”, OLED panels are brighter and offer richer colors than traditional OLED panels without losing the incredible black levels and near instantaneous response time that OLEDs are known for. The G80SD features a 0.03ms response time and it’s one of the few OLED 240Hz gaming monitors. It also boasts a factory calibrated 99% DCI-P3 color range and HDR10 support. Connectivity wise, it has two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port, all of which are capable of 4K at up to 240Hz.

To combat OLED burn-in, Samsung has integrated a heatpipe cooling system to transfer heat away from the panel itself and dissipate it more effectively. We’ve never seen a cooling system specifically designed to combat burn-in, and the G80SD might be the first monitor to feature it.

Unlike most other OLED gaming “monitors”, the G80SD has smart apps built in so it can double up as a regular TV as well as a gaming monitor.
