Just ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022, Samsung has announced its new monitor, dubbed Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 which is touted to be the world’s first 4K monitor with a higher 240Hz refresh rate.

With this launch, the South Korean giant is also expanding its lineup of Mini-LED displays given that this new 32-inch gaming monitor features a Mini-LED panel that has several benefits over a traditional LED screen.

In terms of design, the newly announced Odyssey Neo G8 looks very similar to the Odyssey G9 49-inch which was launched as the flagship offering in the lineup last year. It has a 1000R curvature, a white back with sci-fi-themed carvings, and CoreSync lighting that lights up based on the colors on display.

Thanks to the Mini LED display, the device offers a higher brightness level because of the additional light sources and a more precise targeted illumination. It offers up to 2,000 nits of brightness and should offer deeper contrast than a standard LED monitor.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 has a 1ms GTG response time and is able to refresh the screen with 8,294,400 pixels 240 times per second. Note that on its own, the HDMI 2.1 can only go up to 120Hz at 4K resolution but by using VESA’s Display Stream Compression (DSC), it should be able to reach 240Hz. Also, the DisplayPort 1.4a runs 4K content at up to 120Hz but DSC could surpass that.

This new gaming monitor is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia’s G-Sync adaptive sync tech, which means that games should run stutter- and tear-free.

While Samsung has unveiled the Odyssey Neo G8 4K 240Hz Gaming Monitor, details about the same, including the pricing and availability information haven’t been revealed yet. We expect the product to be available in the second half of this year and more details could be revealed by the company in the coming days or weeks.
