<p>Samsung Electronics is hosting its 2026 European Tech Seminar in Frankfurt, Germany, from April 15–16, offering media and industry professionals an early, hands-on look at its latest AI-powered TV, display and audio innovations ahead of their global rollout.</p>



<p>Now in its 15th year, the Tech Seminar brings together leading experts to experience Samsung’s newest technologies in a real-world setting. This year’s event focuses on how AI is reshaping the role of the screen — making it more adaptive, responsive and relevant in everyday life.</p>



<p>Across its 2026 lineup, Samsung is expanding AI-powered capabilities to all TV models, reinforcing its commitment to making intelligent, personalized viewing experiences more widely accessible.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img width="1000" height="653" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/15144539/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-2026-European-Tech-Seminar-Vision-AI-Companion-AI-Powered-TV-Innovations_main1F.jpg" alt="Sangmin Lee from Samsung's Picture Quality Solution Lab, introduces the enhanced brightness of the new OLED and its reduced power consumption." class="wp-image-172775" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Sangmin Lee from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab introduces the enhanced brightness of the new OLED and its reduced power consumption.</figcaption></figure>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Making the Screen More Helpful With Vision AI Companion</strong></h2>



<p>At the center of this year’s seminar is <strong>Vision AI Companion</strong> (VAC), Samsung’s integrated AI platform designed to make the TV more intuitive and context-aware.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img width="1000" height="655" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/15144556/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-2026-European-Tech-Seminar-Vision-AI-Companion-AI-Powered-TV-Innovations_main2F.jpg" alt="Steffen Greb from Samsung's ECSO demonstrates the Art mode and explains the Vision AI Companion." class="wp-image-172776" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Steffen Greb from Samsung’s ECSO demonstrates the Art mode and explains the Vision AI Companion.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Working as an intelligent companion, VAC helps users engage with content more naturally — from surfacing real-time information about what’s on screen to supporting everyday activities such as discovering recipes or planning travel. By connecting entertainment with everyday utility, it extends the role of the TV beyond content into a more central part of the smart home experience.</p>



<p>Samsung’s AI TV lineup elevates movies, sports and gaming with real-time optimization. <strong>AI Upscaling Pro</strong> sharpens low-resolution content with enhanced clarity, depth and contrast. <strong>AI Soccer Mode Pro </strong>adapts picture<strong> </strong>and sound to match the speed and intensity of live play. <strong>AI Sound Controller Pro</strong> analyzes dialogue, background music and sound effects, letting users fine-tune elements like crowd noise and commentary for a more immersive experience.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Advancing Picture Innovation Across Premium Displays</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung continues to expand its leadership in display innovation with its 2026 lineup. At the seminar, the company is showcasing its latest <strong>Micro RGB</strong> technology, delivering highly precise color control, deeper contrast and a more immersive visual experience.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/15144610/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-2026-European-Tech-Seminar-Vision-AI-Companion-AI-Powered-TV-Innovations_main3F.jpg" alt="Olivia Lee from Samsung's Picture Quality Solution Lab showcases Samsung's latest Micro RGB technology." class="wp-image-172780" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Olivia Lee from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab showcases Samsung’s latest Micro RGB technology.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Powered by the <strong>Micro RGB AI Engine Pro</strong>, the display continuously refines color and contrast in real time. It also achieves <strong>100% color coverage of BT.2020</strong>, demonstrating highly accurate and lifelike color expression. A 75-inch model on display highlights the scalability of the technology, along with enhanced local dimming performance.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="629" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/15144628/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-2026-European-Tech-Seminar-Vision-AI-Companion-AI-Powered-TV-Innovations_main4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-172781" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Youngju Oh from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab introduces a new color evaluation method with the emergence of BT.2020 for 100% Wide Color Gamut Display.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Samsung’s 2026 OLED lineup — including the <strong>S99H, S90H and S85H</strong> — offers expanded options across different viewing preferences, combining deep blacks, rich color and refined design. The flagship S99H features a <strong>FloatLayer Design</strong> for a lighter, more elevated presence, along with <strong>Pantone Validated ArtfulColor</strong> for more faithful color reproduction.</p>



<p>To improve viewing comfort across environments, <strong>Glare Free</strong> technology is now extended to the S90H, helping reduce reflections and maintain consistent picture quality in both bright and dim settings.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Extending Performance Across Gaming Displays and Lifestyle Audio</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung is also showcasing its display portfolio beyond TVs with new high-performance gaming monitors and lifestyle audio products. The gaming lineup on display includes the <strong>Odyssey G6 OLED gaming monitor (G60FS)</strong> with a 500Hz refresh rate, alongside the 32-inch <strong>Odyssey G8 (G80HS) </strong>featuring 6K resolution — delivering ultra-fast responsiveness and exceptional visual clarity for demanding environments.</p>



<p>In audio, Samsung is expanding its lifestyle portfolio with <strong>Music Studio 7</strong> and <strong>Music Studio 5</strong>, combining immersive sound with design that blends naturally into modern living spaces.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/15144644/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-2026-European-Tech-Seminar-Vision-AI-Companion-AI-Powered-TV-Innovations_main5.jpg" alt="Jin Yoo from Samsung Research America Audio Lab showcases the new Wi-Fi speaker, Music Studio 5. " class="wp-image-172782" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Jin Yoo from Samsung Research America Audio Lab showcases the new Wi-Fi speaker, Music Studio 5. </figcaption></figure>



<p>Music Studio 7 features a <strong>3.1.1-channel configuration</strong> and enhanced <strong>Q-Symphony</strong>, enabling more synchronized and immersive sound across connected devices. Music Studio 5 offers powerful audio performance in a more compact form, supported by <strong>AI Dynamic Bass Control</strong> for deeper, more balanced low frequencies without distortion.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expanding AI Across the Entire Screen Experience</strong></h2>



<p>“This year, we are expanding advanced AI across our full lineup, from premium to more accessible models, while embedding Samsung’s distinctive AI capabilities throughout the entire screen experience,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing innovation to picture quality, sound and connectivity, we are redefining what users can expect from AI-powered screens.”</p>



<p>Samsung has maintained its position as the world’s No. 1 TV brand for 20 consecutive years, driven by continuous innovation in picture quality, sound and connected experiences.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><em>– Bill Mandel, VP, Samsung Research America</em></p>
<p>HDR (high dynamic range) technology has been revolutionizing visual quality in movies and TV shows for several years. Now, with Samsung championing HDR10+ GAMING, the same visual transformation is making its way to the video game industry. It’s beneficial for game makers and players alike, and truly makes it possible to get the most visual impact out of gaming’s modern graphics and realism.</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom sat down with Bill Mandel, Vice President, and Steve Larson, Senior Manager at Digital Media Solutions, Samsung Research America, to discuss HDR10+ GAMING and how the technology is changing the gaming industry.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_154854" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154854" class="size-full wp-image-154854" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Odyssey-HDR10-GAMING-Larson-and-Mandel_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p id="caption-attachment-154854" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Steve Larson (left), Senior Manager and Bill Mandel, VP, Digital Media Solutions, Samsung Research America</p></div></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Gamers and Game Creators Deserve HDR, Too</strong></span></h3>
<p>While HDR dramatically heightened the visual experience for television and film, its application in video games has been limited. Game engines have built-in color management systems that help the connected TV or monitor know what colors to show. However, a lack of communication between screens and game engines requires users to manually calibrate their displays.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><em>“HDR10+ GAMING </em></strong><strong><em>establishes a direct line of communication between the screen and the game engine”</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>– Steve Larson, Samsung Research America</em></p>
<p>In search of a solution, SRA started to develop HDR10+ GAMING. By automatically adjusting HDR settings based on the screen’s capabilities, HDR10+ GAMING unlocks a premium visual experience through accurate color, contrast and brightness.</p>
<p>“HDR10+ GAMING establishes a direct line of communication between the screen and the game engine,” said Larson. “The screen can now understand what the game engine is doing, and the game engine knows what the screen can display. That produces a much better visual output.”</p>
<p>“It’s all about making colors truer to the vision of video game creators,” said Mandel.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Engineering a Simple Solution for the Artists</strong></span></h3>
<p>Game developers were the first to call for new technology that addressed the limitations of HDR.</p>
<p>“The initial need came from game developers themselves who want the games they build to look the best they possibly can,” said Mandel. “They were struggling to get colors to look the way they hoped across monitors.”</p>
<p><div id="attachment_154855" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154855" class="size-full wp-image-154855" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Odyssey-HDR10-GAMING-Larson-and-Mandel_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p id="caption-attachment-154855" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Bill Mandel, VP, Digital Media Solutions, Samsung Research America, explains how HDR10+ GAMING was introduced to bring better visual experience to all gamers</p></div></p>
<p>“We wanted the specs we published to be simple for game developers to use, without a heavy burden,” said Larson. “Once they integrate our specs into their game engine, they can use it across any game built in that engine. This significantly simplifies adoption across the industry because it doesn’t rely on certain configurations or devices. It’s easy.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Making It Simple for the Players</strong></span></h3>
<p>With HDR10+ GAMING, gamers no longer need to deal with dials and test patterns to calibrate their monitors.</p>
<p>“HDR10+ GAMING simplifies the process by automatically adjusting settings for games, just like it does for movies,” said Mandel. “This ensures gamers get the best picture quality without any hassle — just turn on the game and go.”</p>
<p><div id="attachment_154856" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154856" class="size-full wp-image-154856" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Odyssey-HDR10-GAMING-Larson-and-Mandel_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p id="caption-attachment-154856" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Bill Mandel (top), VP, and Steve Larson, Senior Manager, Digital Media Solutions, Samsung Research America demonstrate how HDR10+ GAMING automatically elevates the gaming experience</p></div></p>
<p>Because HDR10+ GAMING works both on TVs and gaming monitors, gamers can now enjoy a consistent visual experience with immersive graphics across platforms without setting anything up. This standard is especially important as today’s gamers expect photorealistic graphics in gaming today.</p>
<p>“When activated, your device automatically identifies that HDR10+ GAMING is an available option in any compatible game and takes advantage of it,” said Larson. “There’s no need to navigate a hidden menu or adjust settings.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Lowering the Threshold for the Gaming Industry</strong></span></h3>
<p>For game developers, one major advantage of HDR10+ GAMING is that it is free to implement. With the right application programming interface (APIs), they can integrate HDR10+ GAMING into their existing game engines without any specialized training.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><em>“It’s simple. Once developers integrate our specs into their game engine, they can use it across any game built in that engine”</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>– Steve Larson, Samsung Research America</em></p>
<p>Putting these standards into action, Samsung partnered with NEXON in September 2023 to launch the world’s first HDR10+ GAMING title, “<a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-teams-up-with-nexon-to-unveil-worlds-first-hdr10-gaming-title-the-first-descendant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The First Descendant</a>.”</p>
<p>At <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/gaming-after-party-recapping-the-samsung-2024-monitor-showcase-at-summer-game-fest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Summer Game Fest</a> this past June, the company showcased its latest Odyssey OLED gaming monitors with HDR10+ GAMING capabilities. The combination of HDR10+ GAMING and Samsung’s Odyssey OLED gaming monitors demonstrates how advanced display technology can elevate the gaming experience in video games like “Red Dead Redemption 2.”</p>
<p>Moreover, Samsung has worked with partners such as CD PROJEKT RED on “Cyberpunk 2077” — bringing the game’s fictitious Night City, California, to life like never before. The copy was a great hit, selling over 25,000,000 copies worldwide.</p>
<p>“We designed the system to be incredibly simple to implement,” said Larson. “In fact, CD PROJEKT RED told us that they knew HDR10+ GAMING was something they wanted to use. They were impressed with how fast and easy it was to implement. Their team was actually able to get it up and running in about half a day.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><em>“This is a free license technology. We’ll see a lot more games and platforms adopting the technology”</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>– Bill Mandel, VP, Samsung Research America </em></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Radiant Future Ahead for HDR10+ GAMING</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung is looking to expand HDR10+ GAMING to include additional game engines, particularly those that are more niche. The company is already working with major studios and developers to add into their proprietary engines and some of the more widely adopted ones.</p>
<p>“Through collaborations with game companies, we will expand the HDR10+ GAMING ecosystem — ensuring broader adoption and richer gaming experiences,” said Mandel.</p>
<p>This wide network will provide game developers with a versatile and powerful set of tools to create visually stunning games more efficiently.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_154857" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154857" class="size-full wp-image-154857" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Odyssey-HDR10-GAMING-Larson-and-Mandel_main4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="650" /><p id="caption-attachment-154857" class="wp-caption-text">▲Steve Larson (left), Senior Manager, and Bill Mandel, VP, Digital Media Solutions, Samsung Research America</p></div></p>
<p>“As this is a free license technology, we’ll see a lot more games and platforms adopting the technology,” Mandel continued. “For consumers, it means a consistent and immersive gaming experience across a range of devices — with minimal setup and maximum visual impact.”</p>
<p>Mandel and Larson anticipate a notable increase in the number of developers, games and users leveraging HDR10+ GAMING soon.</p>
<p>“Expect big things to come!” said Mandel.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics released its Odyssey Neo G8, the world’s first 240Hz 4K gaming monitor. At CES 2022, it was awarded the Best of Innovation Award in the Gaming category, receiving recognition for its technological excellence. To explore the features of the world’s first and fastest gaming monitor, Samsung Newsroom takes you through an unboxing of the Odyssey Neo G8.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G8 Offers Enhanced Convenience With Matte Display, Ergonomic Stand and More</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134674" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="602" /></p>
<p>When you first open the box, the assorted parts, including the monitor, stand neck, stand base and power cable are the first things you see.<span><sup>1</sup></span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134676" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>Installing the monitor is very simple.<span><sup>2</sup></span> First, connect the stand base to the back of the product and fasten it with a screw. Then, connect the stand base to the stand neck and fasten the screw on the bottom. Then, put on the back cover and turn it clockwise. The monitor is now ready to be used.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134677" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>Once assembled, the 32-inch curved shape of the monitor is eye-catching. The monitor has a 1000R curved VA panel, which is a curvature most similar to a human’s field of vision. This curvature intensifies immersion while gaming, making you feel as if you are really inside the world of the game.</p>
<p>The Odyssey Neo G8’s Matte Display was also verified as ‘Glare-Free’ by global safety certification company UL (Underwriters Laboratories), meaning its panel reduces light reflection. The display absorbs surrounding light so the user can enjoy an immersive gaming experience without being hindered by external elements, such as sunlight from windows.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134678" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main5.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="662" /></p>
<p>Consoles and other gaming accessories can also be easily connected to the monitor. When the Odyssey Neo G8 is turned on, its Auto Source Switch+ feature automatically detects other devices and switches the screen to the source of those devices.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134679" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main6.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="489" /></p>
<p>Plus, the monitor offers a Height Adjustable Stand (HAS), as well as Swivel and Tilt functionality for ergonomic efficiency and Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) compliant mounting.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134680" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main7.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="450" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134682" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main7_2.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="450" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Unrivaled Speed With 0.001 Second Response Time and 240Hz Refresh Rate</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134684" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main8.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>The Odyssey Neo G8 boasts a fast response time of 1ms (0.001 second) (GtG),<span><sup>3</sup></span> giving users a more vivid gaming experience when playing games that require fast response times. Games such as first-person shooters (FPS) and racing games change screens rapidly, and lag or slow response times could affect the outcome of the game. Luckily, the Odyssey Neo G8 keeps up with the pace and gives gamers the best chance to win the game.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134685" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main9.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>Refresh rate, which measures how many times per second the display is able to show a new image, is also very important to gamers. The Odyssey Neo G8’s refresh rate of 240Hz provides a stable and smooth viewing experience.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134686" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main10.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="892" /></p>
<p>The monitor also comes with Low Input Lag to enhance response time. Input Lag is an indicator that measures how long it takes for input from a keyboard or mouse to be shown on screen. The lower the input lag, the shorter the input time and the faster the response time. The Odyssey Neo G8 has a low input lag of 1ms, helping gamers play more accurately in games where every second matters.</p>
<p>The tearing effect is another factor that can determine the outcome of a game. This is when the screen lags and the display becomes choppy due to a communication issue between the PC and the monitor. The Odyssey Neo G8 supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro which minimizes screen tearing and lag when playing CPU-intensive games, allowing users to enjoy smooth visuals when playing games.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>An Upgraded Vivid Gaming Environment With Quantum Matrix, HDR 2000 and Amazing UHD Picture Quality</strong></span></h3>
<p>As the Odyssey Neo G8 is the world’s fastest 4K gaming monitor, it boasts a UHD resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. The UHD resolution enlivens the game by providing vivid graphics, making it seem as if the world of the game is right in front of your eyes.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134687" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main11.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="677" /></p>
<p>The Odyssey Neo G8 also features Quantum Matrix Technology, which is Samsung’s proprietary technology that controls picture quality. Quantum Matrix uses Quantum Mini LEDs, which are 1/40 the height of conventional LEDs, as a light source for even more precise control of contrast. This technology clearly displays the contrast between the darkest shadows and brightest objects in scenes that utilize a wide spectrum of colors, such as explosion scenes, creating a more vivid gaming experience. It also prevents the halo effect, in which the light from a bright area on the screen bleeds into darker areas surrounding it.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134688" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main12.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="657" /></p>
<p>The Quantum HDR 2000 utilized in the Odyssey Neo G8 delivers maximum brightness for a rich HDR experience. Specifically, it provides 4,096 steps for screen brightness adjustments and supports a high static contrast ratio of a million-to-one. Furthermore, the local dimming zone displays the color black more precisely. By capturing the reflected light of an enemy’s movement, the user can easily discover where the enemy is hiding and also notice the details hidden behind the shadows.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Superior Backlighting That Changes According to the Display Color</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134689" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main13.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>The lighting on the back of the monitor makes your gaming experience feel more futuristic. The Odyssey Neo G8 comes with the CoreSync lighting feature, in which the monitor automatically detects the color at the center of the display and syncs it to the color of the lighting on the back of the monitor. The monitor can display five different light colors, enabling gamers to enjoy a modern, sleek vibe while gaming. When gaming in a dark place, the CoreSync feature can blur the line between reality and the game, fully immersing the player in the experience.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134690" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main14.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="450" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Odyssey Neo G8 Leads the Premium Gaming Monitor Market</strong></span></h3>
<p>The monitor’s fast response time and vivid picture quality maximize the immersive experience users can feel while playing a game. These modern features also help gamers be successful during gameplay, making the Odyssey Neo G8 the ideal choice for gamers.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134691" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Odyssey_Unboxing_main15.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>The Odyssey Neo G8 has received positive reviews and is being called the “Best Gaming Monitor” by global media outlets. Techaeris and Trusted Review have raved about the Odyssey Neo G8, stating that it “offers up a fantastic picture and a high refresh rate,” and provides a “stunning, immersive gaming experience.”</p>
<p>The gaming monitor industry has gone beyond simply providing nice screens for game-playing. Products offering highly advanced features, such as fast speed, high picture quality and more, are becoming increasingly more important as they help gamers perform their best. The Odyssey Neo G8 is the top monitor for serious gamers who want to be immersed in the game while experiencing the best in picture quality during gameplay.</p>
