Samsung Odyssey Black Friday: G8 OLED 32″ drops to $950 — major gaming monitor deals

Samsung’s Odyssey G8 OLED (32‑inch) is on sale for Black Friday at $950 — a $350 discount. The display combines a 4K OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, delivering deep blacks, vivid color and very smooth motion for gaming and video.

The G8 supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 inputs and adds USB‑C for charging and data. Built‑in speakers and streaming apps mean it can double as a smart display, while SmartThings integration lets it act as a hub for compatible smart home devices.

Who should consider buying

If you want top‑tier visuals and competitive‑level motion clarity — for fast FPS, racing or high‑frame‑rate PC play — the G8 is compelling at this price. It also appeals to creators who value OLED contrast for color‑critical work and to anyone who wants an all‑in‑one display for streaming and gaming.

Buying tips

• Check input needs: HDMI 2.1 is essential for 4K/120+Hz from consoles — confirm cable and port support.
• Consider burn‑in risks with OLED for mixed static UI use; Samsung includes features to mitigate this, but evaluate your workflow.
• Compare the G8 vs G9/G7 if you want ultrawide or larger formats — each has tradeoffs in size and refresh rate.
