A True HDR Gaming monitor
So I have been looking for a monitor with True HDR capabilities and finally found the perfect one. Behold the Samsung 32 Odyssey Neo (4K, 165 Hz).This is the one of the best HDR monitors in the LCD (VA panel) technology having Full array local dimming with 1196 local dimming zones. I have an OLED TV (LG C9) and also own 4K and 2K LG (Ultragear) monitors. So I can easily identify and compare HDR performance.Don’t believe in Display 400 or 600 HDR certifications from other monitor brands. They mostly use edge lit dimming or have fewer localdimming zones (typically less than10 to 100)This model has as the hardware to experience true HDR (1196 dimming zones). Blacks are True blacks and can reach up to 1200 nits of birghtness. Your entire viewing experience will be elevated to another level, even for SDR content if you use this monitor.Only OLED panels can outdo the HDR performance this monitor offers, however OLED monitors have their own set of problems (burn-in) for PC applications (static content).I own a RTX 4090 to drive the frames this monitor requires for Gaming. Viewing and gaming at 4K 165 HZ in HDR is truly the definitive experience to consume media.G8 Neo has scanline issues, however this monitor has no such problems (due to lower refresh rates).1000R curve is agressive and will take some time to getting used to. This montior is only for gaming and media consumption. You will be disappointed if you expect to do productivity tasks.Overall a great buy for Gaming and media consumption.

A machine of true beauty.
There’s just something about this monitor that goes beyond being an electronic device.The images don’t do it any justice, the contrast is actually mind bending. The colors pop right off the screen, they look vibrant af.The monitor has some software issues (read about DP port sleep bug in game mode, volume bug etc.) but these are such minor inconveniences when faced with the absolute quality of the panel, that it’s not even worth talking about.When you wanna kick back, you can just switch to TV mode and watch YouTube, netflix etc right there on the monitor, so it doubles as a TV as well.Pro tip: play ghostrunner at high fps on this beauty, you’ll start believing in the second coming of techno christ.Will keep updating this review as time goes on.But for now, I ain’t ever laid my eyes on a beauty like this. ð

Post 1yr – review
Great build, clean pictures, no issues so far.Using a 4090 with this, all games work perfectly on 4k, no lags/ stutters.1yr Update – Board seems to have fried – screen has stopped working, no warranty available because they claim ‘burn’ issues are caused by the user. Samsung service is horrid, they take 15days to respond and expensive repair costs.

got a dead pixel
it surely is an hdr2000 monitor as i tested using light sensor and i got upto 1750 nits brightness reading for white areas.although i got a dead pixel which is barely noticeable. its in warrenty but with the weight of the monitor i am hesitant to take it to service center. very uncomfortable to move. otherwise its a good 4k hdr monitor for gaming.hdmi cable is not included, only display port cable is included. your dedicated graphic card won’t work without the hdmi cable inserted into graphic card port. so dont use display port, purchase seprate 4k hdmi cable and use it on card hdmi port.

Too many wrong decisions by Samsung. But still a great non-oled gaming display.
Pros:- Not an OLED so no burn-in anxiety. I was contemplating buying the Alienware aw3423dw instead. Having owned OLED TVs for some time, the fear of burn-in has made me so paranoid that I gave up the idea of Alienware which has garnered gleaming reviews otherwise; despite of its generous 3 year warranty covering the burn-in.- The 1196 zone FALD works like a charm in turn making both the HDR and SDR content look fantastic. Very little blooming, great peak brightness and great contrast for a non-OLED.- All games just look gorgeous. HDR games look jaw-dropping.- 32″ is a great size for gaming and everything else.- Was lucky enough to get a screen with surprisingly good uniformity.- Great input lag and insane refresh rate headroom with VRR & Adaptive Sync. Competitive games like CS:GO and Valorant are a delight.Cons:- A1000R curve! Really!? This probably is Samsung’s way of compensating for the abysmal viewing angles of its VA panel. There’s still some vignetting at the edges. This also rendered my (branded) monitor lamp obsolete, so now I have get a new curved unbranded lamp. Not the best form for productivity too as things look warped, I was so annoyed by this that I booked a return within an hour of setting up and then cancelled it after a day because of dearth of good non-OLED HDR monitors in India. I think I’ll get used to this over time, but really 1800R would’ve been just perfect. The only redeeming quality is that the games still look great with this curve.- Poor screen calibration out of the box. I have a colorimeter (you could also use ICC profile from rtings) to get accurate image out of it.- Quality control / build issues. Thankfully I got a pristine display on first delivery, the reviews are abound about effed up displays with dead / hung pixels etc. but for me, the back I/O panel is not secured into the body and it rattles. For a display costing $1000+, this is inexcusable.- The viewing angles are poor so you need to be seated dead center and of course you can’t sit any other way because of the effing curve.- The OSD panel takes some getting used to. I loved my old LG’s joystick, it made navigating the OSD breeze.- Couldn’t find the firmware. I tried to get the latest firmware from official Samsung website(s) to no avail. Found a direct link posted by someone on reddit which worked.- Weigh’s close to 8Kgs without stand – way too heavy for the VESA stand to bear it. Neither is the supplied stand good enough as it wobbles with the slightest touch and also takes up a lot of space on the desk.- The firmware has weird bugs. E.g. sRGB picture profile doesn’t have the option Adaptive Brightness that adjusts the screen’s brightness based on ambient light. Although, I found it was still tweaking the brightness and I couldn’t disable it. Being a programmer, I figured out the earlier picture profile’s setting was carried over to the next. So, I went back to custom, disabled the adaptive brightness and then enabled sRGB to fix it. There are such small weird bugs that I’m encountering daily and there’s still no official firmware on samsung’s page for odyssey neo g8.Conclusion – Buy it only if you’re going to use it expressly for gaming.
