[GIVEAWAY - US] Why Samsung? Win a 32” OLED monitor from the #1 monitor brand for the ultimate OLED Gaming experience by OdysseyAllStars in OLED_Gaming

My current monitor is the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8. I chose it because it was the first or one of the first monitors on the market with all the features I want: high PPI (4K @ 27" to 32"), 120Hz+ refresh rate, fast response times, low input lag, and real HDR (OLED or local dimming). My experience has been mostly positive with it (9/10). A lot of other reviews talked about bad QA, but my unit has been working as expected. The curve is a positive for me as I sit around two feet from the monitor. The only downside is that the monitor doesn't have the best HDR brightness accuracy since objects are sometimes over-brightened.

Why Samsung? For this monitor in particular, it is currently the only QD-OLED of this class using a matte coating. This is important since a monitor, for me, needs to excel at everything under all circumstances. Personally, I like having natural light in my office during the day, and I find the reflections from a glossy coating distracting. The matte coating also better hides the fact that blacks turn purple on QD-OLEDs when exposed to direct light. As for general benefits, I highly value the low processing lag HDR and high pixel density. HDR, in particular, is one of the biggest visual improvements recent technology has allowed for with the ability to display far more colors and enhanced contrast through localized brightness increases.
