Our take on the Samsung Odyssey G8 LS27HG802EFXZA 27-inch 5K Gaming Monitor - Black

The Odyssey G8 is a 27-inch flat gaming monitor with a 5K (5120x2880) panel running at 180Hz, a combination few rivals offer. It uses DisplayPort for full 5K at 180Hz, while HDMI tops out lower, and it adds built-in speakers, USB hub ports and AMD FreeSync. Its 1ms response time and 1000:1 contrast are typical of fast IPS-class panels, so it suits players who want sharp detail and high frame rates on a single screen. Compared with 4K 240Hz rivals it trades some refresh headroom for much finer pixel density, and compared with 1440p esports monitors it is sharper but demands more GPU power.

Questions and answers

Is 5K at 180Hz actually usable for gaming?
Yes, but only over DisplayPort and with a high-end GPU. Many recent games will need upscaling or reduced settings to hold high frame rates at 5K.
How does it compare with a 4K 240Hz monitor?
It is noticeably sharper at 27 inches, but its 180Hz ceiling is lower. Choose it for detail; choose a 4K 240Hz panel for the fastest competitive play.
Does it work with a Mac?
It connects over HDMI or DisplayPort, but there is no Thunderbolt. Check that your Mac supports the resolution and refresh rate you want over those ports.
Does it have built-in speakers?
Yes. They are fine for system sounds and casual use, but most gamers will still prefer a headset or separate speakers.
What is in the box?
Expect the monitor, a stand, a power cable and a display cable. Confirm the cable type with the seller, since full 5K 180Hz needs DisplayPort.
Is the screen curved?
No. It is a flat 27-inch panel, which keeps straight lines straight for work and avoids the viewing quirks of curved screens.
Where is the Samsung Odyssey G8 LS27HG802EFXZA 27-inch 5K Gaming Monitor - Black cheapest?
