I enjoy a massive,sloping maw of a gaming-first, curved displayas much as any screen-obsessed gamer.
However, Samsungs latest flat-paneled Odyssey OLEDs have some of the most exciting features behind the display.
And damn, are they nice.

The monitor is essentially a Samsung TV and a typical Odyssey monitor rolled into one.
In my personal experience, the difference is negligible.
I could compare it to the massive, ultrawideSamsung OLED G9s 49-inch 1000R curved screen.

The flat, G8 and G6 didnt have that problem.
But theres some stiff competition for that $1,200 price point.
Okay, its not something I would use in my workouts, thoughyesit does work up a sweat.

I was also pretty disappointed when the detachable SlimFit camera didnt pick up when I hit my mark.
The M80D also syncs directly with other Samsung-brand products, especially the companysearbuds,tablets, andPCs.
The cursor was pretty laggy on the tablet screen, which wasnt on the main monitor.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
We still need to see it to believe it.
