■ The Samsung G8 OLED (as its called) and the newly launched G9 series are the only monitors that wear QD-OLED robes for gamers in India. Strangely, Samsung doesn't advertise it as a QD-OLED monitor. So this one is special in more ways than one.

■ As more and more games are shifting towards adopting HDR as a standard, the inky blacks on an OLED have become lustworthy for all the good reasons. This 34in curved gaming monitor is actually a QD-OLED monitor which makes it brighter and punchier than standard OLED.

■ Colours pop and shadows look deeper. Diablo IV's gothic world looks absolutely stunning on this monitor. It covers 99% DCI colour gamut so you get accurate colours and also deep blacks. The monitor is also fast with 0.1ms of response time. Valorant was timed with pixel perfect accuracy.

■ It can also do a 175Hz refresh rate and has HDMI 2.1. So you connect a PlayStation 5, it will let you churn out 120 frames with VRR support. There's no ALLM here for console gamers but that's alright. However, consoles don't really make use of the ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio. So you're left with black borders on either side. PC gaming is where this shines the best!
