August 2, 2024 -OurSamsung Odyssey OLED G6 reviewis now live, and we’re pleased to report the monitor lives up to our early impressions below. For comprehensive analysis of the 1440p 360Hz screens capabilities, as well as hands-on feedback based on hours of testing, make sure to check out our full rundown.

NewSamsungOLED gaming monitors are on the way, and the Odyssey G6 and Odyssey G8 already feel like something special. At this stage, screens really have to go out of their way to leave an impression on me, but this new duo has caught my attention through style, impressive specs, and one feature that facilitates punchy visuals at every angle. In fact, I’m worried that many other displays in 2024 are going to fall short if they can’t replicate one particular trait.

It takes more than just an impressive OLED panel to make mybest gaming monitorlist, as the whole package matters. Sure, previous models like theSamsung Odyssey OLED G9hold their position thanks to incredible contrast and colors, but it’s the screen maker’s attention to design that ultimately earns it the crown. While I’ll need to properly road-test the new Odyssey OLED G6 and G8 models to know if the same applies, even a short demo has left me thinking about how the displays would look in my office.

Eye-catching from all angles

The very first thing I noticed was that the OLED G6 and G8 appeared immune to glare, which is impressive given the “demo bus” was parked right next to a large window. Better still, it happened to be one of the sunniest days we’ve had in weeks, but even that seemingly couldn’t beat Samsung’s new “OLED Glare-Free technology.” My gaming desk at home sits right next to a window, so I’m more than aware of the havoc a nice day can wreak on a gaming session (promoting me to go out for a walk instead of bashing my Steam backlog).

Before planking myself down for a proper test session, I got a 360° look at the OLED G6 and G8, and the experience was refreshing. I’m well aware that Samsung knows how to make pretty displays, and both these new gaming monitors embody the tech giant’s dedication to aesthetics. The design is similar to that of the Odyssey Neo range, but the panel type allows for a much slimmer profile and a tapered back that avoids using a big boxy hump for IO placement.

I’m not saying that having the likes of theDough Spectrum BlackandCorsair Xeneon 27QHD240with a protruding box is a deal breaker, but both do look clunky compared to the gentle curves of the new Odyssey OLED range. Plus, I’m a big fan of HDMI and DisplayPort facing outwards rather than living under a lip, as it’s far easier to hook up consoles and other PCs on a whim. It also means that functional elements don’t disrupt the RGB ring at the center, helping add a bit of flare to an otherwise minimalist design.

I want to also praise the G6 and G8’s choice of pedestal stand, as it trades V-shapes and chonky bases for a low-profile pentagon. At first, it may look like it takes up more space than it needs to, but since it’s thin, you’ll actually have more freedom to fit accessories and things like soundbars underneath. I reckon it could even serve as a nice console platform – a huge win if you’re looking specifically for a monitor for PS5 or somewhere to pop yourSteam Deck dock.

The larger 32-inch G8 model dials things down to 240Hz to achieve UHD, and it makes for a strong 4K gaming monitor contender. It’d take more than a quick session in Fortnite for me to detect the difference in refresh rate, but at face value, the experience feels just as snappy. The OLED panel also pulls punches to help maintain that balance of speed and vibrance, and once again, zero glare in spite of being positioned right in front of a large window.

I’m also thrilled to report that G8 comes with a remote control, and I really hope it helps end fiddly nubs and OSD buttons. Admittedly, the 4K model comes with Tizen smart features baked in, which makes the addition of a remote necessary, but I’m still pretty hyped for the added extra. I’d go as far as to say that it makes it worth picking up over smaller gaming TV options out there, as you’ll have everything to hand that you’d find in a living room display.

Glorious anti-glare makes a difference

I don’t want to act all clairvoyant about my own upcoming Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 review, but I’m certain Glare-Free tech is going to be a big talking point. Same applies to the G8, and it could be enough to make rivals sweat. Combatting reflections and bright patches isn’t anything new, as it’s been a feature of many screens over the past few years. However, now that I’ve clapped my eyes on Samsung’s latest attempt, I’m going to struggle using and reviewing other screens.

Both the new Odyssey OLED G6 and G8 will go on sale 18 June, but UK players can pre-order the G6 right nowat Currys. We’re still waiting for orders to go live in the US, but watch this space.
