We’re just a few days out from the start of CES 2022 and the little trickles of tech news are still rolling in before the official event. This time it’s Samsung, and the tech giant is dishing out another one of it’s impressively ultra curved monitors.
The Odyssey Neo G8 is Samsung’s (via VideoCardz) brand new 16:9 curved gaming monitor, which is set to be unveiled properly during the company’s CES show. Keeping in line with the excellent yet expensive Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming monitor, this screen has the same intense 1000R curve but on a smaller 32-inch panel. Most other curved monitors are at least 1500R which is a considerable difference when used in person.
It also uses the same Quantum Mini LED tech that gives the Neo G9 the impressive brightness getting up to 2,000 nits which works with what Samsung is calling “Quantum HDR 2000”. Samsung claims that this combined with the way brightness is controlled give the screen the industry’s highest 1,000,000:1 fixed contrast ratio which provides more details and blacker blacks.
