Samsung Odyssey G8 hits $950 for Black Friday — top OLED gaming monitor deal

Samsung’s 32‑inch Odyssey G8 is on sale for $950 this Black Friday — a substantial $350 discount off its regular price. The G8 pairs a 4K OLED panel with fast gaming specs, making it one of the best choices for gamers who want stunning picture quality and ultra‑smooth performance.

The Odyssey G8 earned praise for combining deep OLED contrast with gaming horsepower: a native 240Hz refresh rate, an astonishing 0.03ms response time, and broad color coverage (about 99% DCI‑P3). It also supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB‑C connectivity, and includes AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for tear‑free gameplay.

Key specs at a glance

• 32″ 4K OLED panel with deep blacks and wide color volume (≈99% DCI‑P3)
• 240Hz native refresh rate and 0.03ms response time for motion clarity
• HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB‑C (charging/data)
• AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support
• Built‑in speakers, Smart TV apps and SmartThings integration

How it fits different setups

For competitive FPS players and sim racers who need top motion performance, the G8’s 240Hz panel and near‑instant response time make it an exceptional pick. Its OLED contrast also makes single‑player and cinematic games look spectacular. The monitor’s Smart TV features and cloud gaming support (Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now) add versatility if you want standalone streaming without a PC.

Other Odyssey discounts to consider

• Odyssey G9 (49″, DQHD) — down ≈$300 to about $700. Great for ultrawide immersion and racing/sim setups (144Hz).
• Odyssey G7 — discounted to about $600; a strong 37″ 4K curved option at 165Hz for mixed gaming and productivity.
• Smart Monitor M9 — 4K OLED with streaming features, on sale around $1,300; good for hybrid work/entertainment.

Buying tips

• Confirm HDMI 2.1 feature set for your console/PC to ensure full bandwidth (VRR, 4K@120+ where applicable).
• Consider desk space and stand compatibility — 32″ and ultrawide models need more room and may benefit from VESA arms.
• Check return policies and warranty for holiday purchases; OLED panels can have different burn‑in considerations, so review manufacturer guidance.
