Absolutely perfect monitor - Amazing Upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Background
I want to start by saying that this monitor is amazing in every way. Before upgrading, I used an LG monitor purchased in 2021 and a HyperX monitor purchased last year. There was nothing wrong with those monitors, but I desperately needed an upgrade. After much research, I decided on this model.
I want to start by saying that this monitor is amazing in every way. Before upgrading, I used an LG monitor purchased in 2021 and a HyperX monitor purchased last year. There was nothing wrong with those monitors, but I desperately needed an upgrade. After much research, I decided on this model.
Before I begin, it's important to note my intended use. I primarily use it for gaming and personal work. For gaming (Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty), I need a responsive monitor. For personal use (working from home), I need a monitor that displays video and Power BI dashboards smoothly.
The Monitor — Display — Glare/Overall Color
When I say this monitor is incredible, you have no idea. My desk is by a window, so during the day, there's a lot of glare on my original monitors, and it makes it hard to work. However, with this monitor, I have zero issues. There's no glare, and the colors and blacks are richer on this monitor. It's important for me to have rich colors with Power BI because many of my clients have similar monitors to this one. On my old monitor, if the colors looked great, they probably looked okay on a client's monitor, but now I don't have that issue.
Monitor Display - Performance
When I was researching monitors, this was the biggest deciding factor. The first game I decided to boot up was Red Dead Redemption. In my photos, you can see the clear comparison in the display alone. It looks much better than my previous model. Performance-wise, zero issues; no lag or buffering issues. The real test was playing Call of Duty. I usually get this weird line on my old monitor when I boot this up, but I didn't have any issues with this one. The response time was very fluid. I increased the resolution to really push the boundaries, but this monitor didn't falter. Absolutely incredible.
The Monitor - Design
When you think of a monitor, you probably think of something slightly thick, large, and with a stand. At least that's what most monitors are like. Not this one. This one has a sleek, slim, modern design with a light-up color ring behind it. I'm a sucker for LED lights, so when I saw the lights in the back, I was delighted. It's not necessary, but a nice surprise. The stand is also slim and flat, which is nice because I can put office supplies there without any problem. The ports are also located in a very accessible spot, which was a problem I had with my LG monitor. With my LG monitor, I always had to flip it upside down to connect anything, which was a pain. But not with this one. It took about 5 minutes to set everything up.
Conclusion
Overall, this monitor is a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade. From the design to performance, nothing is lacking. Do yourself a favor and go check it out.

Incredible monitor
on May 20, 2025
Posted by: HugeTaco
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor for gaming and streaming movies/shows. The picture quality on it is wonderful. The colors are very dynamic and the backlight on the monitor adds for a more dynamic/diverse experience. I like to use the backlight in sync with the picture on screen. Adjusting the monitor's height or tilts is very simple. This is a wonderful monitor and i highly recommend it.

Amazing resolution

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this primarily for my PS5 pro. The picture quality and the details and color that I am able to see are great. This is my second gaming monitor I have ever own and love it. I use it for gaming of course and the quality is good, I messed with the settings for picture to adjust the contrast and brightness to make the colors more natural. I also use it to stream shows and anime of course. Overall an amazing Monitor and amazing picture quality.

Beautiful monitor with beautiful picture
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: IApogee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung G81SF is fantastic for content consumption in a beautiful package. The aluminum chassis gives the monitor a truly premium feel to match the gorgeous picture quality of the QD-OLED. Despite a matte coating it maintains great clarity and content looks fantastic!

The Best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. The Samsung 27" Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF is a beast. I wish I didn’t wait so long to make the jump to oled. I was wanting to downsize from a 32” screen size and when I saw Samsung put out a premium 27” screen I knew it was time. The colors pop and the blacks look fantastic and the refresh rate keeps everything smooth. I thought my previous IPS monitor was decent enough but now I see all the flaws in my previous IPS monitor. The inaccurate colors, light banding, and poor contrast are all a thing of the past. The G81SF has handled everything I throw at it from gaming to word processing to video content to browsing the net. I am a fan of the matte screen as I don’t have total control over the lighting where I have my computer set up but this screen shines regardless and there are zero pesky reflections. The build quality is fantastic and the monitor looks and feels premium. The stand offers a lot of customization and stays true to the premium design. I’ve had over two weeks of use with this monitor and everything has been amazing. Well done Samsung.
