Vertical stripe subpixel layout finally comes to QD-OLED as Samsung reveals new flagship 34-inch panel
Samsung Odyssey G7 S40FG75 40-inch ultra-wide curved gaming monitor review: Fast, gorgeous, and immersive
The OLED G8 also has a full UHBR20-compliant DisplayPort 2.1 for uncompressed 4K 240 Hz 10-bit output for the select few GPUs (and titles) that can utilize it. This panel's not rocking the new V-Stripe subpixel layout we covered a few days ago, but despite that, the high resolution should make text appear relatively clear and fringe-free. Of course, all the goodies you expect from a standard OLED monitor apply here, too.

They're IPS displays, but the G80HF is 27" and features a 180 Hz native refresh rate on a 5K panel, while the G80HS is a 32" 6K panel with a native 165 Hz refresh rate. Both have dual-mode to double their smoothness, but the 27" 5K model does so at 1440p, while the 32" 6K variant can achieve 330 Hz at 3K resolution.

The company is calling it the "brightest 48-inch OLED ever," peaking at 2,700 nits across a 10% window. It's otherwise a 165 Hz panel with 4K resolution, carrying a brand new chassis design that looks sleeker than ever.

Upon checking it out, we were impressed with just how convincing this effect was; it's a significant improvement over the first-gen G90XF that came out last year. We noticed a very wide sweet spot with the eye-tracking snapping onto us even when standing behind a chair.
