ON PAPER, the new Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 looks like one heck of a gaming monitor. This 4K beauty runs at up to a 240Hz refresh rate, packs a mini-LED backlight with 1,196 zones, can hit 2,000 nits of brightness, and achieves a 1ms response time. Numbers like that don't come cheap, but at $1,299, the Neo G8 isn't quite as pricey as you might expect.
On the flip side, potential buyers should bear in mind the relatively tight 1000R curve on the VA panel in this 32-inch 16:9 aspect screen. Curved gaming screens aren't for everyone, and they tend to work better on larger displays, such as the 55-inch Odyssey Ark (see review, Jan 2023 issue). You may also want to factor in the G8's lack of USB-C connectivity, which is a conspicuous omission.
