WEBVTT 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.440 yes monitor I shall I shall do your bidding hook you up to a fast gaming PC 00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:12.300 you say yes yes I will here's a good one what's the difference between my dream 00:00:10.139 --> 00:00:18.000 monitor specs and the specs of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:20.760 absolutely nothing get it 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.800 okay but seriously Samsung sponsored this video and once again I would have 00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:33.660 done it anyway because this thing looks absolutely amazing 4K 00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:38.760 240 hertz one millisecond response time 00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:42.780 with an IPS type panel HDR 2 000 wait 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:46.800 sorry 2 000 nits Peak brightness with a 00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:51.480 mini LED backlight with over 1100 local 00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:54.539 dimming zones this promises to be the 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:57.960 gaming monitor oh that's a tight curve 00:00:54.539 --> 00:01:00.840 this is 32 inches 1000r which means it 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.860 is designed for that gamer posture gonna be right here full immersion ladies and 00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:09.360 gentlemen coming around back there's lots to talk about starting with their 00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:14.040 Odyssey aesthetic including RGB lighting along with inputs so we've got 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:19.920 DisplayPort we're gonna need that for 4K 240 hertz and two HDMI ports that are 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:24.360 capable of smart input switching so as soon as a device fires up CEC style it 00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:28.500 can grab that input and switch over to it we've also got an integrated USB hub 00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:33.420 with two type A ports an audio jack as well as a 20 volt DC power in and some 00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:37.920 of the most understated marketing that I think Samsung has ever done on the one 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.259 hand they're like Linus you gotta mention the quantum mini LED and Quantum 00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:46.860 HDR 2000 and on the other hand they're like yeah it's a color display unit it's 00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:52.439 not technically wrong I just think marketing would rather talk about Quantum Matrix technology 00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:57.060 pretty simple install process you just put this puppy in here right and screw 00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.540 it in and this is fun if you don't want to use the included stand you've got a 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.860 Vasa bracket included in the box which is kind of a necessity for curved 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:10.200 monitors like this one thanks someday it will be available on 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.180 lttstore.com Sunday got your height adjust 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:17.280 got your swivel got your tilt oh wow 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:22.739 look at that you've got uh pivot too very nice very nice I can't say that I 00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:27.599 would be that into oh okay it can go almost straight at the bottom 00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:31.379 so it's kind of like wow it's a little 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:37.019 it's like it's lording over me yes monitor I shall I shall do your bidding 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:39.959 take that Andy always remove the peel 00:02:37.019 --> 00:02:46.739 otherwise maybe fire so is this a 140 watt power brick that's 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:50.940 your G rating baby that's a lot of power but 00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:52.560 what do you want it's crazy powerful 00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:56.519 assuming that it'll turn on at some point oh no it's not a joystick it's 00:02:54.300 --> 00:03:00.540 buttons down here okay well that's fine that seems to work pretty well okay hey 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:05.040 there we go I mean doing angles on this are not bad though 00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:10.260 the first thing we need to do though find out if the 240 hertz selection is 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.319 there it is not I have no idea what's involved 00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:20.519 in running at 4K 240 hertz like to my knowledge there's nothing else that 00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:27.420 approaches this in terms of bandwidth comes with a DP 1.4 validated cable 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.040 supposedly it says 8K on it oh yeah 00:03:27.420 --> 00:03:34.860 maybe there's like an overclock mode that you have to enable oh refresh rate 00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:36.720 connect well there's your problem 00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:41.599 play around in the OSD a little bit here we've got support for adaptive Sync It's 00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:47.879 freesync premium certified and let's see I also g-sync compatible very nice oh 00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:53.459 that 240 yards so sweet oh how's haloing around the mouse 00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:58.920 out of the box you can see the cursor doesn't have the full brightness on the 00:03:55.739 --> 00:04:02.340 dark areas of the screen but they opt to 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:04.260 dim the cursor rather than blow out the 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:07.920 black areas around it which is probably a smarter move that's always going to be 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:13.560 a challenge when you're using full array local dimming but unless you use the Larry local dimming you're not going to 00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:17.759 be able to hit like 2000 hits Peak brightness it's just not possible you 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.359 can set it to an ultra wide aspect ratio and just have perma-black bars now 00:04:19.979 --> 00:04:24.840 obviously that's something that you could do do in your display driver but 00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:28.080 for those of you who are not comfortable or not familiar tinkering around in 00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:33.419 there it's just a couple of Clicks in the OSD and you can watch in like a 21x9 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:38.100 more cinematic aspect ratio personally I I wouldn't do it this way but 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.120 it's there show a virtual aim point on the center of the screen here's the 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:47.100 cheat button oh yeah you're welcome there's front lighting oh there it is 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.180 okay that's not too distracting all right all right and then the back is 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:54.840 quite a bit brighter oh I have thought would be RGB but this is just an accent 00:04:52.919 --> 00:04:57.960 piece okay that's cool then if you turn on core sync it'll match the color at 00:04:56.580 --> 00:05:02.820 the back with the color of the content on the screen so it'll kind of light up the wall behind you I would say it works 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:06.240 best with a white wall so if you don't have one then probably not going to be 00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:11.520 the greatest experience but hey you might have a white wall I'm at 35 00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:12.740 brightness in a lit studio and this is 00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:19.080 bright enough this thing might be actually insane I 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:23.240 don't think I have ever seen anything like that before 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:28.560 this is bananas bright at a hundred percent 00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:34.740 let's go to something bright but somewhat reasonable maybe like 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:37.020 65. 65 how do you feel about that David 00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:41.039 that looks fantastic that looks it does look fantastic doesn't it normally your 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:44.699 calibration report is a slip of paper in the box but apparently Samsung has just 00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:50.639 built it right into the display which kind of makes sense from a workflow standpoint at the factory local dimming 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:54.600 Here We Go Auto automatically turned on and off based on where the content is 00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:58.979 HDR that's actually really smart because I wouldn't necessarily want to use local 00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:03.240 dimming and SDR this has enough innate contrast that you wouldn't really need 00:06:00.539 --> 00:06:09.900 it I suspect what pcav mode is doing is it's using either 0 to 255 values for 00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:11.759 black or what is it 16 to 235 and that 00:06:09.900 --> 00:06:14.220 just is dependent on the device that you have plugged in so if you were to plug 00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:20.060 in something like a Blu-ray player you might actually switch it over to AV mode that's pretty much it other than that 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.539 it's time to experience this thing overcooked 00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:31.139 just kidding I want something with HDR so oh cool Samsung gives the option to 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:35.759 update software on a USB device that's something that's not actually that 00:06:32.340 --> 00:06:40.639 common on monitor and is that's a really 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:45.000 good thing maximum luminance 100 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:47.880 and we are barely making it above 120 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:52.440 FPS this is almost as fast as it gets and 00:06:49.340 --> 00:06:54.539 hey but if you want to be ready for the 00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:56.780 rumored next-gen gpus that are coming out 00:06:56.819 --> 00:07:01.319 oh the experience is definitely better 00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:06.599 on axis I had said the viewing angle seemed 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.160 pretty good if you want the best color 00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:11.520 reproduction you're going to want to be right in front of the monitor I wonder 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:15.780 if that's one of the reasons that Samsung went with a curved display that 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:21.000 looks really good here it was like yeah it looks okay but 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:26.039 I'm also at like what what is this maybe a 25 30 degree angle off the screen 00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:30.240 too smooth there's no such thing as too smooth this is just the right amount of 00:07:28.020 --> 00:07:35.039 smooth actually we could get smoother it is really smooth though like even doing 00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:37.580 just an endless camera rotation around 00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:42.300 like that wow that is crazy 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.220 and we're only running at like 140 FPS okay 00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:54.060 let's try something else let's do maternal on here before we get that launched though check this out those 00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:58.199 pointers are super sharp they advertise a one millisecond response time so I 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:06.479 shouldn't be surprised but really sharp 190 190. not good enough 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.919 even from this angle though man this 00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:09.919 game looks really good 00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:14.000 that's crazy 00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:21.720 um well that was a miscalculation 00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:24.060 oh my God that looks good A Samsung 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:31.740 specifically wanted me to mention their anti-glare so that's a good thing to 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:33.839 have this what it looks awesome 00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:39.839 I wouldn't care if it had the most glare in the world man that looks good and 00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:42.300 without resorting to Vivid mode nonsense 00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:48.180 or anything like that it just looks freaking awesome man do we have Destiny 00:08:45.300 --> 00:08:53.040 on here no oh that's too bad I'd love to see Destiny on this gorgeous gaming HDR 00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:57.300 that's the kind of thing that a monitor upgrade like this does is like you take 00:08:55.560 --> 00:09:02.279 experiences you've already had and then you just have them Anew with a 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:06.300 completely different level of visuals right it's like upgrading your GPU from 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:10.140 entry level to like a new performance GPU going back and playing games with 00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:18.600 all the eye candy turned on like that's that's what it's like okay 240 and vsync 00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:21.000 off are we still at 90 frames per second 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:25.320 how does that even make sense I mean it's a good looking game say what 00:09:23.339 --> 00:09:33.540 you want about the rkd feel or whatever else but you cannot criticize how this 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:36.360 game looks especially on a good monitor 00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:39.180 okay hey look two of the same character model like right next to each other you 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:45.720 think they'd have logic for that it doesn't matter you're driving by them yeah uh what kind of monster pauses and 00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:48.480 looks at the crowd in Forza well these two are right next to each other I mean 00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:54.060 come on the last thing I want to see is the intelligent input selection let's go 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:59.959 ahead and plug in this station of play I'm trying to remember which button is 00:09:55.860 --> 00:10:02.640 the on button David help me brighter no 00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:08.459 definitely bright enough so let's try if I unplug HDMI 00:10:07.079 --> 00:10:14.700 do I have this feature disabled or something it's worth mentioning that it 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:16.560 supports HDMI 2.1 the HDMI 2.1 branding 00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:21.779 is all messed up right now but basically like the 48 gigabit per second version 00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:27.540 Oh Auto Source switch plus oh is not available it's off by default you have 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:33.060 to plug in two things to turn it on okay I'm gonna plug in DisplayPort 00:10:30.260 --> 00:10:37.620 DisplayPort has been connected and 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:39.420 boom very nice all right now let's power 00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:45.620 down the PlayStation does that even do that here we go David 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.620 you ready yep beep 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:55.200 hey hey all right 00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:58.920 and all it'll cost you is everything 00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:04.079 1500 US dollars what do you want 32 inches 4K 240 hertz 00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:07.800 if you can afford the GPU to drive it well there's one of two options either 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:11.160 you spent all your money on a GPU to drive it or you can afford this no 00:11:09.300 --> 00:11:14.880 problem and you can definitely afford to subscribe to ShortCircuit thanks again 00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:19.200 to Samsung for sponsoring this video the G8 is coming soon available across 00:11:17.339 --> 00:11:24.800 various regions throughout June and
