Samsung Odyssey G8 6K G80HS 32"

Overview

The G80HS would become much more competitive at a more reasonable price, perhaps around $1,000 or slightly less. Samsung is known for heavily discounting its monitors, so it's entirely possible we'll see it closer to that level during sales later in its life. But at the launch MSRP, you really need to prioritize the 6K resolution and high-DPI experience over everything else to even consider the G80HS at that price.

The Samsung Odyssey G80HS represents a solid step forward in the quest for greater pixel density with a gorgeous picture and speedy gaming performance. The dual refresh feature means it will work with a wide variety of systems, but it needs exotic hardware to perform at its peak.

The Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HS is a monitor that’s ahead of its time. I’m sure that 6K monitors will someday be the norm, but that day is not this day—nor, I suspect, any day this decade. 6K resolution is simply too demanding on modern graphics hardware. Stretching for 6K also forces Samsung to use an IPS LCD panel with image quality that, aside from sharpness, is inferior to that of a 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor.
