Samsung announces 2024 OLED monitors - CES 2024

Just to fix a comment I made previously.

Samsung says it's 3rd gen QD-OLED panels come with a new pixel compensation system that adjusts how the compensation works for every individual panel based on how the owner uses it.

I said this improves burn in resistance by 50% but this is incorrect. 50% is for the TVs only, but for the QD-OLED monitors, the pixel compensation is tuned to be more aggressive and increases burn in resistance by 100% vs Gen 2 panels.

3rd gen sounding good, I was thinking must be on the 2nd by now but time flies so its good there on the 3rd and addressing the text and burn in issues.

One thing I didn't like with Samsung they finally released the 42 and 48" TVs and there still using the old LG OLED panels underneath, I would have thought Samsungs 3rd gen QD-OLED TVs would be able to cut that OLED glass size down to 42"/48" size panels.

It also makes things somewhat confusing given how much Samsung pushed the whole QD-OLED being the next gen "OLED" panel, since they then use the old OLED panels, if they did that on the gaming OLED range their would be war of the worlds:D
 
Odyssey OLED G80SD - i have this on pre order and will be driving it with a 4090 GPU. i have noticed it doesn't mention gsync in the specs. I assume it is Gsync compatible? hoping the combination of GPU and monitor is not going to be an issue.
 
Do you really think a monitor company such as Samsung would make its monitors incompatibile with graphics cards (and their features) of the biggest graphics cards seller on the market?

if i had left the word compatible out, my question still remains valid, as it just opens it for a fairly unhelpful response. I should rephrase that, how well with it work, from reading it appears oled in general have an issue with VRR flicker. On further look this monitor suffers black out issues. So if that's a "compatible" feature or bug in firmware, then that is worth a conversation.

Sorry for being irrated by your question. Didn't want to sound rude.
Every oled screen has VRR flicker - some have more and some less, some people see this flicker while others do not. Nvidia GPUs support Gsync and Freesync so you are good to go with the GPU you have. Regarding any bugs or faults specific to the monitor check reddit (I can see you are doing it already) or rtings review (in progress). Such bugs are usually squashed with firmware updates so hopefully this will be the case here.

thanks for your response, that is helpful.
 
The comparison is valid, but come on :), not supporting DV and not supporting some basic GPU features in a product of the biggest GPU maker are on a completely different scale. Thank heavens for freesync being open though and not exclusive to AMD cards.

Anyone gotten the 32" G80SD - any early thoughts? I missed out on the pre-order discounts and offers and now wondering if it's worth the current price (can get corporate pricing, but that's only 10% off), especially with the lack of clarity about whether Samsung cover burn-in under the warranty

Do OLED monitors have issues with burn-in? I see it mentioned in reviews a lot but nothing much more than if you run spreadsheets all day it will be an issue. But surely the task bar etc will also be a problem?

yea they do


I don't think I'd want to own one as a PC monitor unless I was buying one every year

Mines turned on way too much and I like my taskbar visible

Maybe people are meant to have them as a second monitor they only use for gaming and movies.

I see there's some offers on the G80SD. I can't seem to find if burn-in is covered with warranty. Only the generic 2 year outlined in the FAQs.
Can someone confirm?
