Samsung 32" G8 Odyssey Neo for Gaming?

Started by Snowverlord on June 21, 2024

I've been considering getting a new monitor and came across the Samsung 32" G8 Odyssey Neo. Does anyone have experience with it? It looks like it has some great specs for gaming.

Yeah, my friend just got one and loves it! The refresh rate is 240 Hz, which is really nice for gaming. I've seen a good article about it at Is the Samsung 32" G8 Odyssey Neo Good for Gaming?.

That's impressive! But does anyone know if the monitor requires a high-end graphics card to fully take advantage of that fast refresh rate?

You're right; you do need a higher-end GPU to get the most out of those faster refresh rates for some games. I'm still using an older one and can't really tell the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz.

I've been playing games on my G8 Odyssey Neo for a while now, and it's fantastic! The response time is super low (1 ms), which makes everything feel very smooth. Highly recommended!

Oh, that sounds amazing! I'm still deciding whether to get one or not. But, @andrewmcdonough, did you notice any ghosting issues with the monitor?

No, I haven't experienced any ghosting at all. The screen is very clear and crisp, and there's no noticeable lag when playing games.

That's great to hear! I might have to just go ahead and get one then. Thanks for the input, everyone!

Yeah, it's a fantastic monitor if you can afford it and have the right graphics card. Good luck with your decision, @Snowverlord!
