Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 launched: world's first 4K 240Hz gaming monitor

Samsung teased, and then announced its Odyssey Neo G8 gaming monitor earlier this year... but now the new gaming monitor has officially launched worldwide. Check it out:

The new Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 gaming monitor has a 32-inch curved VA panel, with a native 4K resolution and super-intense 240Hz refresh rate. Yep, 4K 240Hz insanity that is also driven by Quantum Mini-LED technology, with Quantum HDR 2000 and 2000-nit peak brightness. There's an ultra-low 1ms response time as well.

Samsung says that its new 32-inch Odyssey Neo G8 gaming monitor is the "world's first and fastest gaming monitor" that rocks a 1000R curved VA panel featuring Quantum Matrix Technology. The buzzwords, they get me everytime. Whoooooooooooosh: QUANTUM MATRIX TECHNOLOGY. Marketing jokes aside: this is a serious god damn monitor, with 4K @ 240Hz you're going to need a next-gen GPU to run games at 4K 240FPS. Maybe even a generation ahead of that.

Gamers ultimately desire that immersive experience in unity with their character and scene, and the Odyssey enables this with superior features and lifelike picture quality to give players a thrill".

Samsung is using a new display technology called Matte Display, that has both anti-glare and anti-reflection protection. This will keep your screen more free from glares and other annoyances when you're in the middle of gaming, or working on the Odyssey Neo G8 gaming monitor.

There's also a height adjustable stand, with both swivel and tilt functionality -- and if you're got a monitor arm, there's VESA mounting capabilities here -- Samsung's new Odyssey Neo G8 gaming monitor has it all.
