[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want the ultimate gaming experience, this is the one the curve adds extra to what you are seeing and doing. Fantastic for gaming, or just watching movies.
A solid upgrade from the g80SD. With DisplayPort 2.1, I've experienced no DSC related handshake issues at 4k 240hz, an issue that I still regularly experience with the g80SD when connected via DP1.4. The picture is fantastic and the color accuracy was solid out of the box.
This monitor is perfect for gaming in bright rooms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up of this monitor was extremely easy, you turn it on for the first time and it gives you a QR code you can just scan to immediately register on your Samsung account. You don't have to manually enter anything as everything is pre-populated.
On top of this, you even get a built in calibration report which tells you the picture accuracy of the monitor when calibrated in factory to be pantone verified. Mine had a DE of 2.5 which is very accurate for an out of the box measurement. I do wish however it would tell me which picture mode this was measured on.
I didn't expect the anti glare coating to work so well. I came from an MiniLED monitor that could get very bright, so I had to increase the brightness of the monitor when it was bright out and decrease it when it was dark. With this monitor I do not have that issue, and it's down to it's abilitty to diffuse light naturally, something my old monitor lacked, despite being able to be brighter.
On top of that, having already owned an OLED TV I did have some things that I expected, which didn't disappoint. The viewing angles are perfect (just look at the image), there's no problems with noticing any local dimming as pixels dim perfectly alone. The refresh rate of the monitor is crazy, not only that but the high refresh rate together with OLEDs near instant pixel response time makes motion blur non-existant.
There's one downside, and that is that is a bit of a double edge sword with the comments I have made in the respect to the anit-glare. The anti-glare coating on the monitor is so effective that there is a visible grain on the panel which can be disracting at certain moments. A full white screen and you can kind of notice it, but you can get used to it easily. With small white text on a black background you can kind of see noise around the text because of it.
However, this is minor, and the new RGB subpixel layout of the G80SH means text is super clear with no fringing around it, or around window borders.
Gsync works flawlessly, and the monitor even has a mode to reduce the flickering induced by using any form of VRR if you need it, although the setting does increase input lag.
If there was one thing I wish this monitor included that would be a light sensor, or some kind of auto wake/sleep tech like some other monitors have, so it falls asleep and wakes up as you use it automatically, apart from that I am extremely happy!
I would recommend this to a friend!
