Samsung 34" Odyssey Series QD-OLED Ultra WQHD G85SB Curved Monitor 175Hz, 0.03ms, DisplayHDR True Black 400, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Advanced Game Streaming, LS34BG850SNXZA, 2023
The G8 QD-OLED is definitely an upgrade from the 27-inch G7 Odyssey, and the G8 Oled's color and contrast make the G7 look like a TN (distorted) panel.
Ultrawide (21:9) vs. Standard (16.9) makes a huge difference in games, especially racing games. While driving in the cockpit view, I was able to see in both mirrors, which helps with spatial awareness.
The Oled panel's deep blacks really bring out the depth of any scene, especially dark scenes, and the color accuracy is out of the box.
I had to wade through the settings menus while watching movies to see why the movies I used to test screen quality seemed weird (the motion was so smooth that it added weird glitch to the hand movement, and the hand movement jerked to fractions of a second). ).
I went into settings and turned off image sharpening and everything seemed to work.
In addition, the screen is relatively small when watching TV series because most of the TV series use the standard 16:9 screen size instead of the ultra-wide 21:9 screen. To solve this problem, there is an on-screen zoom options menu in Settings (Zoom 1, Zoom 2). I'm using Zoom 1 and it fills most of the screen without cropping the top and bottom of the video.
** For movies with black bars at the top and bottom, you can use Zoom 2 (in settings) which completely fills the screen, since these movies were shot in a 21:9 aspect ratio, the aspect ratio of your screen is the same. **
Overall, I can't wait to get home from work and play more games on my computer. Hopefully this screen will last long enough for the development of small LED screens and not cost as much as a used screen.
