My first 27" 4K OLED Monitor
on May 12, 2025
Posted by: ahnxsj

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried a 27" OLED monitor by a different brand before, but it was only QHD and not 4K. I'm happy with this Samsung's 27" 4K variant! Black levels are as black as I'd expect any OLEDs to be, and the monitor looks sleek and sharp. I do wish the monitor was a glare option as I prefer that personally, but that's okay. Out of the box, I noticed that the RGB ring behind the monitor wasn't on by default and I feel like many would miss that feature. Few parts that I thought was a bit misleading from the product photos were that the bezel is not as uniformly thin in reality, and that there's no speaker built in (as far as I'm aware). On a positive note, I'm glad to see 120Hz frame rate working on a Mac OS with DisplayPort, and not seeing in 240Hz is an operating system limitation. 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 works perfectly, and I like to use it at 2440 for retina-like experience. In terms of the build quality, it may look like silver plastic, but I like the slim metal design, too. I'll have to check out the PIP feature when I get a chance. Great sharp OLED monitor!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfection 4k

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung LS27FG810SNXZA has completely transformed my gaming setup. The 27” QHD curved screen is breathtaking—colors are vibrant, contrast is deep, and the 240Hz refresh rate paired with 1ms response time delivers buttery-smooth gameplay with zero ghosting. Whether I’m playing fast-paced FPS titles or exploring open-world adventures, the immersion is unmatched thanks to the 1000R curve that wraps around my vision perfectly.
G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro support ensure there’s no screen tearing, and the build quality feels premium with a sturdy stand and customizable RGB lighting. The menu system is intuitive and easy to tweak to your preferences. I’ve also used it for some creative work, and the color accuracy is surprisingly good for a gaming monitor.
If you’re serious about gaming and want top-tier performance with incredible visuals, this monitor is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Amazing gaming monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Samsung Odyssey G8 27 inch oled monitor truly is amazing. The picture is crystal clear and colors are absolutely vibrant. Very sleek looking and super thin. I would like to have had the smart tv option and remote included but other than that I’ve been very impressed by this monitor. The glare free HDR 10 works beautifully and refresh rate for gaming is smooth. PIP option is handy when you need to multitask. I would definitely recommend for anyone who’s a serious gamer or just wants to best picture quality possible for your monitor.

Absolutely perfect monitor - Amazing Upgrade!
on May 17, 2025

[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.
