Samsung has pulled back the curtain on three new desktop monitors ahead CES 2022. These monitors are the Odyssey Neo G8, Smart Monitor M8, and High Resolution Monitor S8.
Starting with the Odyssey Neo G8, Samsung is touting it as the world’s first 4K curved gaming monitor, with a curvature rating of 1000R and 240Hz refresh rate. Much like its hefty sibling, the Odyssey Neo G9, its panel is constructed with Quantum Mini LEDs and supports Quantum HDR2000, offering a peak brightness of 2000 nits., with a 1000000:1 static contrast ratio.
Size-wise, the Neo G8 seems to be available in just one size, 32-inches.
Moving down the list, the Smart Monitor M8 is a 32-inch monitor that features a bezel-less design and a “sophisticated” flat-back design. Like the G8, the panel’s resolution is rated at 4K with a 99% sRGB colour gamut and a peak brightness level of 400 nits.
As it is a smart monitor, the M8 will ship out pre-installed with Smart TV and productivity apps to enable seamless entertainment and work-related tasks, even without the presence of a stand-alone desktop PC. Additionally, the monitor also comes with a movable magnetic SlimFit camera, as well as a USB-C port that supports 65W charging.
Last but not least on the list is the High Resolution Monitor S8. Available in 27-inches and 32-inches, this monitor is designed for content creators and people working in the design industry. The monitor features a 98% DCI-P3 colour gamut, as well as support for VESA Display HDR 600.
On top of that, it is also one of the only Underwriter Laboratories (UL)-verified glare-free monitors. Other specifications include USB-C 90W charging support plus LAN ports that Samsung says were added to help users maintain a simplified workstation.
At the time of writing, no availability date or pricing has been provided for all three monitors.
