Today’s monitor was not sent to me by the manufacturer, as is usually the case. I bought it myself, but I’m going to be harsh on Samsung and AMD at one point or another. I can already say that in advance. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is one of a total of four QD OLED monitors on the market. It has the same 3440 x 1440p resolution and offers 175 Hz with 10-bit color depth – both via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a. Thanks to the use of DSC 1.2a, this is possible. For information: DP 1.4a with DSC 1.2a make UHD with 240 Hz and 10-bit color depth possible.
A significantly smaller and more inconspicuous package than the MSI MEG342C QD-OLED. This is immediately noticeable. The Samsung arrived safe and sound, which is a good sign. However, the packaging doesn’t make me really happy, but that’s just my opinion. Once the Samsung is on the table and running, the packaging is already forgotten! Fortunately, I was able to test the Odyssey OLED G8 virtually at the same time as the MEG342C, so I was able to see the differences directly one-to-one. Unfortunately, many differences cannot be shown with pictures. But the measurement data and the trained eye reveal that the OLED G8 shows the MEG342C what a rake it is in many disciplines.
Let’s take a closer look at these differences today. For a direct comparison, I suggest that you open the article on the MEG342C in a dedicated window so that you can make the best comparison. Unfortunately, the OLED G8 also has one point of criticism. But all in all, I can say this much in advance, the Samsung Odyssey is currently the better deal. As always, I recommend taking a look at the manufacturer’s website, where you can first take a look at the usual marketing slides, so you also have an expectation for today’s article.
