Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G8 is available to pre-order now for $1,499. Originally unveiled at CES in January and scheduled to go on sale June 6, the display is being marketed as the world’s first 4K gaming monitor to feature refresh rates of up to 240 Hz, making it one of the fastest 4K monitors on the market. The 32-inch Quantum Mini-LED panel with 1,196 local dimming zones and 1000R curvature also features a 1 ms response time, support for Adaptive-Sync, and should be great for HDR content thanks to its peak brightness of 2,000 nits. Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G8 will be accompanied by a lesser model called the Odyssey Neo G7, which carries similar specs but with a refresh rate that tops out at 165 Hz.
Be among the first to own the all new Odyssey Neo G8 and top the leaderboard with the world’s first 4K gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, along with 1ms response time, and FreeSync Premium pro.
Quantum Mini-LED, which achieves next-generation depth with Quantum HDR2000, delivers exceptional picture quality, placing Odyssey Neo in its own class.
One misstep can be the difference between victory and defeat. Top the leaderboard with the world’s first 4K gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, along with 1ms response time and FreeSync Premium pro.
Mirroring the arc of the human eye, the 1000R curvature brings gaming worlds to reality, surrounding players for deeper immersion and more satisfying gameplay.

I've tried a curved monitor before. They are definitely not for me.
About $1000 too much for a 32"
The monitor market is massively undwhelming.
I can really take the curve or leave it. I don't mind the curve on larger displays. 32" is probably about the minimum size I'd tolerate a curved display. I liked my 34" and the two TV's I used for it. A 48" and later a 49" Samsung TV I had were both curved. It's fine. My current display is a 43" Acer Predator CG437K is flat and that's fine with me.
Let's assume for a moment that refresh rates above 120hz make even the slightest amount of perceivable difference (they don't)
Show me the GPU hardware that that can hit 240fps on even an older title at 4k. :p
Counter strike
I'm mixed on curved monitors. I love my CRG9. At 49-inches that curve really adds for an immersive experience. However, anything less would seem weird and too small to me. The 200 Hz refresh rate is wasted because I doubt even a 4090 Ti is going to render that high with the demanding games I play now and we all know that games only get more demanding going down the road, not less.
Otherwise, this checks a lot of boxes for me. G-Sync-nice. Mini-Led, cool if it looks good. HDR 2000-bring it on. If it's too bright you can always lower it but it really sucks the other way around. HDR on the CRG9 is a mixed bag and I still fall back on the LG C9 to enjoy HDR gaming. I was playing CB2077 on it this weekend and wow!
