 Hey guys, Thundee here. Now if you're wondering why I die so much, well you can ask Daniel that. But this is the brand new Samsung Odyssey OLED G8. Now this is an OLED gaming monitor and it's a 34 inch monitor and I think a lot of people will like that. So I decided to make a gaming setup right here for you guys to check out and this monitor actually takes a nice center place on here. I've got a couple things on the setup, including a brand new gaming PC I just built thanks to our friends at a Susan NZ XT as well as also some desk speakers and a brand new gaming headset. Plus I did actually get that keyboard from Click and Brew in Malaysia. But anyway, let's go ahead and take a look at this monitor itself. As I mentioned, 34 inches resolution is 3040 x 1440. This is a lovely looking OLED monitor, 1800R curve radius, so which means you can see everything around you, it looks pretty nice. And also it's the one that can of course raise up and down tilt and I like the base. I like the clearance of the base because it allows for you to put in a sound bar if you're used to or in my case I do have two desk speakers I can put on the side. Now we've seen a big trend in moving to larger monitors, 57, 49, 55 inches. This is 34 and I do like it because it sits really well within the space you have especially for different desk sizes and it's something that I think a lot of people would appreciate. Now in terms of ports, what does this monitor actually bring to the table? You've got a couple of USB type C ports in the back as well as also a mini display port, which is something that I do not like that much because I prefer a standard display port or full HDMI. I don't know why Samsung didn't go that way around, I figured they wanted to make it thinner and lighter but I've seen monitors that have actually done that. So that's a little dig on this here. Now the monitor has some very simple controls which you can use through the remote control. It does come with remote, I do like monitors that have remote but this one has a little bit of convoluted functionality so if I wanted to go to some of the monitor settings I do have to press and hold the play button, it brings up this game menu bar and in that bar I can do some cool things. I can of course change my picture mode from standard to RTS, FPS mode, things like that and I can also go into the game settings and this takes me to more of the monitor settings but it's still not as traditional as you would expect. Now because this is a standard Samsung remote control as you know what Samsung does, Samsung has built in of course its Tizen OS into this which allows you to of course customize and use some of the other features here. So I can hit the home button and this takes me to of course my general standard TV menu that you see on any Samsung TV and I have a couple of options here. I do have of course my standard apps for media and then I have a workspace which allows me to either connect of course a PC or Samsung text which is cool, that is nice. And I also have the game center. Now game center is pretty cool because if your gaming PC is off or you don't want to turn it on or you just don't have a powerful gaming PC you can use game streaming services on here. So things like GeForce Now as well as Lunar and Xbox Game Pass are available and it's cool that I can pick up my Xbox controller, go ahead, power up Game Pass, get into a game like FIFA 2023, score some goals, enjoy gameplay and jump out and then jump into something like Netflix and watch One Piece for all the One Piece fans out there. The show is actually pretty decent and then you know watch a YouTube video. Now you're going okay, does this have built in speakers? Yes it does and Samsung says these speakers are pretty solid, give you overall robust experience but let's take a quick listen to how well they sound. I'm a bit of a history buff which by the way that is, yeah, it's really good, it's loud, it's crisp, you can hear the space battle as well, it does a really good job. The speakers are decent, I think they do a good job if you don't have any other option whether your headset is not working or you don't have speakers on there but in terms of speakers I do have the relay speakers from NZXT, these are desk speakers, they've got that nice studio looking style to them all white and they sound really good so why don't you take a listen to those and see how well they do. And if you don't want to use the relay speakers you can go ahead and try the relay headset as well as also the switch mic which is a nice combination especially if you're doing a lot of game streaming using the headset and basically managing your game chat as well as also your game volume all together so a nice combo to actually pair with this monitor here. Now of course powering everything is my gaming PC which I built with the help of of course ASUS as I mentioned earlier and NZXT, ASUS applied the Prime motherboard as well as also the TUF 7900XT graphics card while NZXT of course applied the case as well as also all the other accessories you see here. I do have 64GB of RAM from Kingston, 2TB of storage and the CPU is Ryzen 7900 CPU so of course it's an all AMD machine. So what kind of performance am I getting and how does that look on this display. Now this is where having that kind of performance pairs really well with what this display can do. This is a QD OLED display so which means your blacks your colors are rich in vibrance you're getting HDR 400 you're also getting performance that really matches what the game representation should look like so whether I'm playing games like of course Doom Eternal which has a lot of colors as well as also dark environments shows up really well on this gaming monitor and also I'm getting some really crazy high refresh rates because of this gaming PC then I move over to something like Red Dead Redemption where there's a nice lot of nice scenery this scenery has a lot of snow a lot of particles in the environment that should push the system well but the frame rates are doing well but also you can see the separation in the colors now this this monitor also helps in your gameplay because you've got a refresh rate of 175 hertz and a response time of 0.03 milliseconds which is especially useful if you're playing Call of Duty Warzone some of that of course fast paced action and gaming experience really goes a long way with what this monitor can actually do and of course finally games like Starfield which everyone is playing right now Luscious Environments Big Universe you can see how well this monitor takes that to the very next level now in terms of customization you do have an LED ring at the back which you can customize with different colors and you have seamless integration with smart things on your smartphone allowing you to control the monitor directly from the device so you can switch to your apps like Netflix or back again to your PC you also have camera sharing allowing you to enjoy your camera features directly on your monitor use as a webcam for video calls as well as smart calibration allowing you to calibrate the monitor the way you want it to look allowing you to go from of course something more vivid to maybe something more muted but you can select what you want to do directly from your mobile device so let me know what you guys think about the the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 and what it brings to the table if it's anything else that you liked in this setup let me know I know some of you are looking at my keyboard this is not something that I bought from a store this is something that I bought from a store how did I so so I woke up one morning and Jesus just walked in and he brought the keyboard he was like yo you want a game but get better scores now some of you are looking at that game in keyboard and going where did you get it well this one's a little different from everything else I found a coffee shop in Penang Malaysia called click and brew where you can walk in get coffee some snacks and also build out your own mechanical gaming keyboard lots of stuff I have the video up on Instagram so guys go check it out but you can also order an online I'll leave the link for you as well so thank you very much guys and always enjoy your entertainment
