Priced at $1,999 AUD, those who pre-order the 32″ gaming monitor between 18 July and 7 August will also receive a Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB valued at $479 aUD.

“The new 32-inch Odyssey Neo G8 is the world’s first and fastest monitor that combines a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) 1000R curved VA panel featuring Quantum Matrix Technology, with 240Hz super-fast refresh rate and 1ms response time (GtG),” Samsung. The 4K resolution is also supported by a colour gamut up to 95% of DCI-P3 colour gamut. The design of the Odyssey Neo G8 was inspired by the iconic style of the Odyssey Neo G9, offering an effortlessly cool exterior which is packed with premium gaming performance features.

“Together with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, the gaming monitor’s outstanding 4K 240Hz refresh rate and ultra-low 1ms response time allow players to get real-world accuracy to maximise their potential and compete at the highest level in any gaming environment,” Samsung continued. “The Odyssey Neo G8 also utilises Quantum Mini LED technology, enabling ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs, ensuring gamers see both dark and bright scenes as they were intended. In addition, Quantum HDR2000 with a 2,000nit peak brightness and a million-to-one static contrast ratio brings out the most subtle details for unparalleled immersion.”

The Odyssey Neo G8 is already available in the USA, currently priced at $1,299 USD on Amazon.
