Just another absolutely not asked for and pointless monitor. The monitor market is just filled with absurd offerings that no one in its right mind would or should buy... And of course instead of investing their efforts into bringing the great back lighting tech on the previous Odyssey NEO G9 into more cheaper monitors, Samsung decided they would invest their money into another G9 just with 8k resolution, because that's something that people surely want to buy.

Why would they want to do that though? What consumers want doesn't necessarily align what companies want. It's the premium products that net the most profit for companies.

These are halo products with a lot of the features over time slowly trickling down to lower end hardware, I have the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 and it is amazing, Came out 4'ish months ago, It was pricey but worth it and eventually that same 1200 zone lighting, HDR 1000+ etc... will make its way down the stack.

It's the same with products like this 8K monitor, It tends to make the manufacturing of "lower" end hardware cheaper.

I agree it's the Halo product but I still just wish someone would release a 32" OLED with high refresh rate, quality HDR and in 1440p and 4k formats.

We seem to be skipping the sensible upgrades that gamers can really benefit from given that you need beasts of a card still for 4K.

I agree it would be nice to see 32" OLED's with all th fancy stuff but from what I've read it's mainly to do with yields of OLED and sales numbers.

True, I guess even despite the growth in PC gaming we are still the "niche" to a degree so specially producing 32" OLEDs prob isn't the greatest business plan

When TVs are made they all come from one large sheet and they get divided up into panels. It's all about maximizing surface area. 32" doesn't really fit anywhere right now in enough capacity to warrant significant changes to sheets. Changing one sheet for one small panel(even if it produces multiple) has effects on other monitors or TVs. It's all a balancing act.
