Following the release of a new range of gaming displays, Samsung's Product Manager, Andriani Lada, explains how she gets true and honest feedback from customers to decide what new features to implement in it's products. In the lead-up to Computex , Samsung announced a new line of monitors, including two new gaming displays. The Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 were announced in the first week of June and are set to hit shelves on June 18, retailing for a pretty penny at £1,099.
99 / $1,099.99 / AU$1,665 and £799.99 / $799.
99 / AU$1210 respectively (Australian prices are an approximation as regional pricing is unavailable right now). Pre-orders for the Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 are open over on the Samsung website right now. The Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung's first flat 32-inch display, featuring a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate.
You also get the benefit of a 0.03ms response time, which although isn't the fastest on the market after being narrowly beaten out by the Acer Predator X32 X3 which boasts 0.01ms, is still insanely quick.
The Odyssey OLED G6 on the other hand is a 27-inch display, with a lower resolution of 1440p but a higher refresh rate of 360Hz, as well as the 0.03ms response time. I sat down with Andriani Lada, Samsung's senior European monitor product manager , about the launch of the new Samsung monitors and what sets them apart, as well as how Samsung implement community feedback into the development of their products.
This somehow included Lada's story about disguis.
