Samsung normally makes headlines with its Odyssey gaming screens by being ridiculously, humongously ginormous. They’re large, is what I’m saying. However the newest two carry its celebrated OLED panels to extra standard kind components. You possibly can go large (however not too large) with a 32-inch 4K display screen, or speedy with a 27-inch one.
The Odyssey G80SD is the one you need if you happen to’re occupied with displaying off your costly graphics card’s chutzpah, with a 32-inch, 3840×2160 panel. And with the identical built-in streaming tech as Samsung’s good TV line, you are able to do it even when your gaming PC isn’t within the room. At 240Hz and .03ms response time, it’s quick, however not so quick that it’ll flip heads among the many esports crowd. With DisplayPort and double HDMI, however no USB-C video (although there’s a 2-port hub), we would hope that it isn’t too dear. Perhaps.
The Samsung Odyssey G60SD is the quicker of the 2, with a downgraded 27-inch, 1440p panel however 360Hz of refresh. It dispenses with the good tech and built-in audio system, so it’s undoubtedly the extra PC-focused providing right here, although each of them include AMD FreeSync Premium Professional certification (no phrase on Nvidia’s G-Sync). The smaller Odyssey has the identical ports.
Each screens include flat, “glare-free” panels, which ought to assist, since their brightness is just a little underwhelming at simply 250 nits. In addition they embody Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a “proprietary burn-in safety expertise” that makes use of a pulsating warmth pipe mixed with a brand new evaporative coolant system and brightness discount for static pictures.
All of it sounds very spectacular…however there’s no phrase on any sort of multi-year enhancement to the guarantee, which I feel I’d desire. Samsung didn’t point out launch dates or costs, however each screens are labeled as “2024 fashions,” so presumably they’ll be obtainable earlier than the top of the yr.
