27 Inch Odyssey G8 G80HF5K | Gaming Monitor | (2026)

While the dual mode may feel like a gimmick - it isn't. In native mode the screen has a pretty high pixel density at 218 PPI. I was using a generic 27 inch monitor prior to this one and the difference is quite visible when using VS code and lightroom. In QHD mode - the panel runs at 360 Hz and it is a completely different experience. In CS2, the difference was quite noticeable with no smeared trails across the screen, thanks to the 1ms fast GtG. Great for color and viewing angles. HDR is okay, but not bad at all. The ...

I regret this purchase given I received nothing special in comparison to my 4K M8 monitor. The improvements are so incremental that it did not worth upgrading. I pre-ordered the item and there were no early reviews. Promised preorder credit arrived, but it was not activated internally by Samsung according to their agents. Case was created and re-escalated multiple times, but solution is still not there after weeks of waiting and follow up. Customers should know that support that comes with the product is absolutely awful, b...

I bought this monitor mainly for Counter-Strike 2 because I wanted the Dual Mode feature and QHD at 360Hz. I've been using an Alienware 34" ultrawide for years, and while it was great for Rocket League and everyday use, I never felt like it was the best setup for competitive CS2. After switching to the Odyssey G8, the difference was noticeable right away. Everything feels smoother and more responsive, and my FPS consistently takes advantage of the 360Hz refresh rate. The gaming features are what really stand out. I've spent...

I mainly play games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves, so I spend a lot of time with graphically demanding titles. This monitor looks amazing and I highly recommend it. These games have incredibly detailed characters, environments, and visual effects, and on this monitor everything looks even sharper and more detailed than on a standard 4K display. The extra detail really helps with immersion. The Fast IPS panel is another big plus. Skin tones look natural, and bright areas are clear and easy to ...

This is a massive monitor upgrade for me, coming from an older flagship display from nearly 10 years ago! The text clarity and sharpness on this Samsung G80HF are astounding thanks to the 218 PPI. For daily productivity, reading, and pure visual crispness, it does not disappoint. I had been reluctant to upgrade because getting high refresh rates alongside this level of pixel density simply wasn't available until recently especially jumping up from my old 108 PPI display. The matte screen finish is also a huge plus for my ...

I have been really enjoying my Samsung gaming monitor! 27" makes it a good size, not too bulky, not to small. The 180hz refresh rate is already fast enough for smooth videos, but you can even kick it up a notch with the QHD and double the speed for seamless movements and videos. The color accuracy is precise, as a graphics designer, I need accurate color and have seen a higher accuracy when using my programs, such as Photoshop, when color matching real world items on the screen. There's been no lag in movements when playing...

This has been a huge upgrade from my older gaming monitor, definitely worth every penny and couldn’t imagine going back. It has incredibly crisp and clear picture quality making it look more realistic, bright colors with deep blacks. I’ve been having a blast playing my PC games ever since upgrading, especially fast paced games like Fortnite & overwatch with the insane refresh rate, no lagging making quicker precise movements and turns.
