I tried Samsung’s new OLED gaming monitors early, and one feature should have rivals worried

New Samsung OLED gaming monitors are on the way, and the Odyssey G6 and Odyssey G8 already feel like something special. At this stage, screens really have to go out of their way to leave an impression on me, but this new duo has caught my attention through style, impressive specs, and one feature that facilitates punchy visuals at every angle. In fact, I’m worried that many other displays in 2024 are going to fall short if they can’t replicate one particular trait.

It takes more than just an impressive OLED panel to make my best gaming monitor list, as the whole package matters. Sure, previous models like the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 hold their position thanks to incredible contrast and colors, but it's the screen maker’s attention to design that ultimately earns it the crown. While I’ll need to properly road-test the new Odyssey OLED G6 and G8 models to know if the same applies, even a short demo has left me thinking about how the displays would look in my office.
