Samsung has started selling its new Odyssey OLED G8 screen to gaming enthusiasts, and it is the first OLED gaming screen it has produced. The company revealed the screen last year and promised that it would be available in the last quarter, but apparently unknown issues delayed the official launch until today.
The screen size is 34 inches, the curvature diagonal is 1800 mm, the high refresh rate is 175 Hz, and the response time is very compact - 0.1 ms. The screen uses Samsung's quantum dot technology and covers 99.3% of the color space according to the DCI-P3 standard. The screen has a resolution of 1440 x 3440 pixels and is supported by AMD FreeSync technology for a powerful gaming experience.
The monitor offers a variety of features that are not available in most gaming monitors in its class, as it has a height-adjustable base, a backlight that can be moved and synced with the game, built-in 5-watt stereo speakers and USB-C, Micro HDMI and Mini DP connectors .
In addition to all the functions mentioned above, it can also be used as a smart TV screen, as it comes with Samsung Tizen OS TV loaded with many video display applications, and it also comes with a remote control and Samsung Game Hub. A service that enables streaming from many cloud providers such as Xbox Game Pass and NVIDIA GeForce Now.
Samsung is recognized as one of the leaders in OLED technology, which it uses in TVs and phone screens, but this is the first time the company has introduced a gaming screen with the technology to PC users.
OLED technology offers many advantages over LCD screens, including higher contrast and true blacks, as well as wider viewing angles and faster response times.
It is mentioned that the screen is already on the market and its price is about $ 1,500.
