Thanks for the clarification Simon.
Any idea when you will do a deep dive/review/settings on the new G9 57???
Samsung seem reluctant to send one out so I’m not sure if we will do a review of that screen I’m afraid
@@tftcentral that’s a bummer. Do you think the oled picture settings for sdr on the oled version work just the same?
No definitely not. A completely different screen and panel I’m afraid
I just got the samsung odyssey g85sb on sale for $899 and it was manufactured in August 2023. It has work flawlessly. And I have not experienced any of the issues people were reporting when the panel first came out so I don't know about a refresh but perhaps they worked out the bugs. Anywho I couldn't be more happier with my purchase.
IM JUST NOW SEEING THIS! i thought you would tag me on Twitter! I was the one who sent you all this information and the images of their booths! Thanks for helping to make it clearer. Was hoping you had a Samsung representative to get official clarity on this all. Im still fingers crossed that it will have G-Sync, as the Asus AQDM was awful and i had to return it, as it did not work with G--sync, which apparently ive learned is a issue with OLED in general for some reason? eitherway thanks for the investigating !
Sorry mate I should have tagged you in the tweet although I did think you’d see it anyway.
I have an oled tv, I think that works with gsync
Thank you for taking time to clarify
Hey I am seeing a new model released in India with model number LS34BG852SWXXL. I cant seem to find what the differences are there between the older & the newer model. Have you heard anything on this ?
Can you link me to it? I expect it’s the exact same screen with some random regional variation with something minor like the packaged cables
Then Gen 1 & DWF are still fairly new!! Plus 165hz & 175hz VS 240hz is really not that big of a difference!
Is there going to be a 32” 4k Oled version of the Samsung oddeysey model?
Nothing has been formally announced yet but I wouldn’t be surprised to see one at some point 😀
I Love your channel & what you do but: The video in question shown here of the v2 was made 4-5 months ago. Speculation due to a 2-3 month window of Display specifications info at that time due to the new rating date 4/20/23 on G8 oled but was already released on korea in sept 2022. (That is not speculation or a supposing idea) But as the Neo G9 57" was a gamescom priority its safe to say v2 is slated for early next yr. Immanent release speculation? Maybe 5 months ago but not now. To have this topic (lets say debunked) in Sept (over 4 months later) is kind of... idk.
Lets all hope we can all find that perfect monitor in the Golden age of QD OLED monitors incoming wave. Yes with v2 tech and yes with 240hz.
Hi Viktor. Thanks, and i enjoyed your videos too :)
I realise the video in question was a few months old, but the rumour seems to be resurfacing again at the moment, probably as we've reached that "2 - 3 months" period after the original Displayspecifications.com news piece and people are therefore expecting a monitor to be released. People also seem to be wondering why nothing has been formally announced or showcased at Gamescom or IFA (by Samsung Electronics), although there was promotion of the 34" QD-OLED panels (including the misinterpreted G-sync Ultimate badge) by Samsung Display at other events recently like K-Display and SID. This was the first time I'd really looked in to the matter, perhaps it is late, but people are still referring back to your older videos and raising the questions online too, so it's obviously still a topic people are interested in :)
Like you say, hopefully we can get some nice new gen 2 QD-OLED panels soon, but I wouldn't expect any new 34" models until late Q1/early Q2 next year at best, and probably from other display manuf first before Samsung Electronics bring out a new one
@@tftcentral wow i didnt know its still talked about. Good to know. Thx for the amazing work you do
@ViktorsReality yeah it seems to have come up a few times of late, it’s still an interesting topic. Any news of new or forthcoming screens is always good 😀
New generation panel with improved blue light is real

Any updates?
Thank you! Could you please update your review of G9 OLED with "NVIDIA ‘G-sync Compatible’ certified" update? From driver 537.13 now it supports G-Sync.
Yes will update that to reflect the certification 😀
@@tftcentralalso you can mention G93SC model which is the same OLED G9 but without Smart TV functionality and cost 200 euro less.
Do you own the OLED G9? Do you know if there's a reliable and easy way to play games in 21:9 on it? I tried looking into this and from what I gathered it doesn't have a 21:9 mode and making it work requires Windows registery edits and whatnot, which I find very off-putting. I was hoping maybe Samsung could add that mode via firmware update, since the Neo G9 57" has it.
@arthur78 you should be able to create a custom windows resolution easily enough using something like CRU and you’d probably need to use graphics card scaling to put borders in the appropriate places, but that should be doable. I can’t recall which modes the screen supported itself tbh
@@tftcentral I've seen plenty of reddit posts of users unable to do it, at least not at 240Hz or without reducing chroma subsampling or another compromise. It might be due to Display Stream Compression issues with Nvidia drivers. Same with the Neo G9 and G9 before it.
Wait, I’m seeing this just now, so another issue with a Samsung monitor with good potential?
No announcement at CES regarding a refresh for G8?
Nope 👎
so the g8 been out about 6 months and you think they might be about to replace it ?
sound a bit stupid to me , a lot of people will be unhappy thats and i think people
will loose faith in the brand , i think at lease they will run the current model for a year
before replace ?
maybe bring a new model might be a better idea than replacing a model thats only
been out about 10 minutes ............
i think the g8 is plenty bright enough and i use saphire 7900 xtx nitro
so dont need nvidea ........................
just wish they would bring out a firmware to get rid of the pop up menu every time
you turn on , menu are sluggish but dont use them anyway ..
If you watch the video you’ll see we do NOT think they’ll be a replacement or new model from Samsung any time soon. We are debunking a rumour and clearing up confusion about it 😀
I will wait then hopefully its Black and full ports
Hello sry but do i understand it right, that they dont have g sync? on the specs i only see Adaptive sync
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 only has adaptive sync, it doesn’t use the NVIDIA Gsync module but it can still support both FreeSync and Gsync systems 😀
But is it the same? Any disandvantage? :)
@christianlandmann9759 well there are some differences. Prob worth having a read of this article which covers it more tftcentral.co.uk/articles/variable_refresh
Thx!
Appreciate the insight
I saw your video about oled roadmap of lg and samsung, but it seem there wont be nothing new about 5120x1440, i can believe about samsung not moving as they already have g9 oled, but is lg sleeping on 32:9 oled for real ?? please say me there's a chance
Do you think the launch of the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD, being a gen 2 qdOLED, can be an indicator for more gen2 monitors? It is very interesting to see that we only have these 49inch super ultrawides with newer QDoled panels (maybe more lucrative), instead of the very popular 34inch offerings out there. There is of course an argument to be made regarding the lifespan of these 34inch monitors, they are not 'old' monitors, so why replace them when they can and are still making money
Definitely all new QD-OLED monitors based on newer panels should be gen 2 QD-OLED. The announced 32" models will all be gen 2 panels. Samsung do have plans for an updated 34" ultrawide panel next year as covered in the video when looking at the roadmap dates
any info 6 months later?
No. Samsung announced a fair few new screens at CES but none in 34” size tftcentral.co.uk/news/samsung-announce-expanded-odyssey-oled-line-up-for-ces-2024
Although we do know that Samsung Display have an updated 240Hz ultrawide panel in development so it’s possible Samsung Electronics will adopt that at some point

@@tftcentralI don't think my gpu can handle 2k 21:9 240 fps :D ( RTX 4070TI SUPER) , you think I should buy this monitor now? 890 euros with free shipping
그럼 이제 곧 삼성 OLED G8의 차세대 모델이 출시할 것 이라는 것인가요?
So does this mean that the next generation model of Samsung OLED G8 will be released soon?
If you watch the video you’ll see it def doesn’t mean that the next gen of Samsung OLED G8 monitor will be released soon
@@tftcentral aha! I'm not good at English, so I couldn't understand it properly, so I asked in the comments, but thank you for kindly letting me know!
LS34BG850SUXEN the (V2) sure ? 🧐
Yes, what’s up with that? Is there a difference between osu and suxen?
Pretty sure those are just regional variations. They wouldn’t keep the same start bit of the model name which is the key part. There is no v2 of this screen I’m afraid
@@tftcentral it’s really weird since both variations are on sale where I am from and other than the model number, there seems to be no distinction between those two, or at least no seller seams to care enough to point them out. So why sell the same product with different model numbers in in the same area?
But you’re right for sure. If this was the v2, Samsung would make sure we know (including a raised price I assume)
It needs 240+ hz. I don't want the unnecessarily gigantic g9
agreed that the next gen of 34" ultrawide OLED screens should be 240Hz+. Asus have a model announced so far using an LG.Display WOLED panel: tftcentral.co.uk/news/asus-announce-rog-swift-pg34wcdm-with-34-oled-panel-and-240hz-refresh-rate
@tftcentral that would go with my asus setup 🤔
How about VRR flickering? Why every one hides the fact about VRR flickering? You buy 1k$+ monitor, set g-sync on…and get punch your face with ugly VRR flickering effect!
