32" Odyssey Neo G8 (G85NB) 4K UHD 240Hz 1ms G-Sync 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, Quantum HDR2000, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Matte Display, DisplayPort, Black & White, LS32BG852NNXGO

I upgraded from the 4K LG 27GN950-B UltraGear Gaming Monitor 27” UHD to this 4K Neo G8 curved monitor because of the 240Hz refresh rate and the numerous superlatives doled out to it by tech magazines and websites. I also wanted to maximize my Nvidia RTX 4090 card with one of the best rated monitors out there. So, let's get the worrisome part out of the way first: if you aren't used to curved monitors (I wasn't) then, as many reviewers noted, it will take your eyes some time to get used to the curvature and how the images actually move on screen. For me, that time period lasted about two weeks, and I was really on the fence about this monitor during that timeframe. Once acclimated though, I finally got used to the tunneling effect where the image forces your eyes to focus on the center of the screen (kind of like when you are driving at night), and processes peripheral images still very distinctly but similar to your own vision with a slight wrapping effect at the edges. The second issue I think many new users confront is actually adjusting the image settings to get the quality you prefer rather than one that's set as the default. For me, that means my video card can easily handle the 240Hz refresh rate (other cards may not) without screen flashing, tearing, or image ghosting, but the colors are far too saturated and actually are overwhelming on any of the presets. I had to adjust the color settings to the old sRGB standard rather than one of the presets (e.g., FPS, RPG, Cinema, etc.). The color tone is simply warmer and more natural with that sRGB setting and with the Contrast Enhancer On and the Brightness dimmed about 10%. As a first step, I recommend you adjust your own settings to your preferences and also factor an image that reduces strain on the eyes. On that note of eye strain, I would also recommend some decent blue light glasses for extended play or viewing sessions. Just like with my aforementioned comparison with night driving, your eyes really do lock in a bit more for an immersive experience and you need to ensure you don't overdo it, especially initially if you aren't used to this type of monitor. Some users may notice initial motion sickness for specific games like FPSs or first-person RPGs, but I found that goes away with the right settings, some judicious gaming time limits (or blue light glasses for extended use), and the natural adjustment by your eyes to the curved display. But, once you hit that sweet spot for settings, this monitor is excellent for picture quality and overall viewing. My old LG pales in comparison, though it still remains a good monitor. For anyone on the fence about the curved display, go to your local brick and mortar store that sells these and check them out in-person first. If you think you can adapt and you have the video card to power this monitor at the 240Hz refresh rate, then it's an easy recommendation. If not, the Neo G7 has a flat monitor option at 144Hz that would likely be an upgrade from the LG as well. With whatever monitor you settle on, always adjust the settings to your preferences as a first step, rather than force your eyes to adjust to a default setting or otherwise unnatural image quality in terms of light intensity. warmth, or color oversaturation.

Update: The monitor either developed a dead pixel or the the right situation helped me notice it. Ended up returning it and eventually getting one without any defects (so far). Just like many other monitor brands, it can come down to luck. All units had scanlines with the same presentation. I still don't see it as an issue, especially for the increase in motion clarity. Positive aspects -Contrast/HDR. I've been used to IPS displays. Significantly better than a 32GQ950-b, especially with local dimming on. Blacks look amazing on this compared to the mentioned monitor. -1000r Curve. I assumed I wouldn't like the curve so I put off on even trying it. It's been surprisingly growing on me. It does help with seeing the sides of the screen vs a Flat 32" display. Gaming feels a bit more immersive as well. -Color range. Seems nice. Setting to Gamma2 and using local dimming on at least low makes a nice difference. I like black equalizer at 16. -Motion Clarity/Response time. Very smooth motion. Noticeably better than a 32GQ950-b. -Brightness. It gets pretty bright. There's even a nice Eye Saver Mode too. -Auto Input switch on a new connection. -Web browsing and productivity uses work well. Excel sheets seem fine even with the curve. Neutral aspects / Negative aspects in other reviews - I view these as trade-offs -Scanlines at 240hz on some blues, oranges, and yellows (not all shades though). It is faintly noticeable from a normal sitting distance. This is present in-game as well. It is removed by changing the refresh rate to 120hz. I feel like this is a trade-off due to being unaware of non-OLED 4K 240hz options. The motion clarity increase is noticeable. -There is a thicker coating on the screen that is great at blocking reflections. It is a little hazy but a non-issue, especially at a normal viewing distance. You'll likely notice it but it doesn't impact text clarity. In gaming, lighter backgrounds can make it more visible. -Gamma Shift/viewing angles. Comes with VA territory but it's not awful. Negative aspects -Wobble. It does wobble quite a bit, even with using a study desk. -Flickering can occur depending on fps, vrr control seems to fix this.

So after selling this monitor for th Oled g8 ultrawide , Instantly regretted selling . Returned the ultrawide oled , then went to the lg 27 inch oled 240hz I did prefer this monitor to the g8 oled but overall was not bright enough and 2k resolution was very noticeable after gaming on the neo g8 4k . People were saying in reviews the monitors being oled made up for lower res , but for me that was not so . Ended up keeping the LG oled and buying the s95c 55 inch , and this is what I currently run . after trying all these I realized the Neo G8 is an amazing monitor has a bit of bloom but overall a great 4k 240hz display you can get for a good price . The s95c is great for gaming but is also over double the price so the neo g8 4k is tough to beat right now

Me encanta este monitor. Es brillante, es colorido, no tengo reflejos en una oficina / sala de juegos con ventanas muy brillantes. El contraste es excelente para una pantalla LCD. Gran volumen de color. Sin retraso de entrada. Estaba preocupado por la curva extrema, pero me encanta. A pesar de las críticas que decían que me molestaría usarlo para el trabajo, no he tenido ningún problema con la curva de pantalla para ese propósito en absoluto. No he tenido problemas de conectividad. Estoy en el último firmware. En realidad, me sorprendió que se enviara con el último firmware para mí. Supongo que lo único negativo es el soporte tambaleante y barato y los controles de pantalla donde deberían haber utilizado un joystick. No he tenido problemas con los escáneres ni nada por el estilo. Recomiendo encarecidamente este monitor.

Amazing monitor with gorgeous visuals while using the HDR. I originally ordered the monitor and it came with a one inch line of dead pixels centered from top to bottom. I was quick to talk with support to get it replaced and the new monitor arrived the next day and was perfect condition. Absolutely would recommend this monitor even after what had happened.

La verdad vale totalmentela compra, a mi me llego excelente sin ninguna rayadura, pero pidan a la paquetería que lo marquen como frágil, porque luego son una bestias la verdad. En cuanto al monitor cumple con todo lo dicho en velocidades y colores y negros. Solo hay un pero, cuando estoy viendo youtube no sé porque se me pone la pantalla negra con pixeles pero se quita muy rapido, en los video juegos perfecto, los corre perfectos sin problemas y para trabajar igual en photoshop, after effects, cinema 4d etc. va perfecto. Yo si lo recomiendo, comprelo!

The item itself was fine, had a dead pixel though so I decided to return this and get the newer G8 OLED instead. Writing this review because it is ridiculous being charged nearly 60 CAD to return this. Do better Amazon.
