According to our monitor expert
Enjoy razor-sharp graphics during gaming with the Samsung Odyssey G85 OLED QHD 34-inch 175Hz curved gaming monitor. This gaming monitor has an OLED panel, so colors, shadows, and graphics come into their own. You can try it out with a green landscape. Thanks to the combination of the 175Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, you experience the most smooth movements on a gaming monitor. So this monitor is also suitable for graphic intensive games and competitive gaming. Thanks to the QHD resolution, DisplayHDR 400 support, and the DCI-P3 color space, your graphics come into their own. This way, you see skylines and other surroundings in an extra detailed way. Combine this with a curved screen, so it feels like you're in the middle of the action and you enjoy a unique gaming experience. Don't forget to turn on the AMD FreeSync Premium technology when you play with an AMD video card. This way, you prevent screen tear and slowing down, even when you play in HDR. Besides gaming, this monitor also has a SmartThings hub. With this, you can connect all your smart devices to your monitor and control them with a push of the button. Don't have any fingers available? Use the Bixby Voice Assistant to carry out orders. In addition, you can tilt, turn, or adjust the monitor in height to get the right ergonomic sitting posture. This way, you sit comfortably and you also prevent neck and back problems. Do you use the monitor for more than gaming? Connect your laptop via USB-C and easily switch between your tasks via Auto Source Switch.
Note: For 4K gaming, you need a very powerful video card, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 3080 Ti, 3090, or AMD Radeon RX 6000-serie GPU. Next generation consoles, such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S don't support ultrawide resolutions.

During the installation, had the necessary problems, Monitor got "no" signal from my RTX-3080-TI via DP or HDMI 2.1 cable. First updated Bios from 1004.0 to 1007.3, it didn't help. Finally got a picture via the Picture in picture option.

Second chance product but actually in new condition. I think only the box has been opened once and the rest has never been unpacked.
The monitor replaces my 2 Asus VE248 monitors that I've had for about 7 years now (and still work fine by the way). After connecting with the supplied DP cable and connecting to the Wi-fi, I first received a firmware update (v1442). Installing this took a while. After this the menu etc. was a bit on the slow side for a few minutes. That slowness disappeared afterwards, incidentally, and everything else works fine in my opinion.
The issue of the monitor not waking up from standby is a common complaint with this monitor and mine has the same problem. I expect this to be resolved with a firmware update. So far the workaround for me is to set a screen saver with nothing (black screen) and to never let the monitor go out in the power settings of Windows. The monitor is then always 'on', but the screen actually goes out. After all, with black, the pixels are off.
I have not seen any color fringing (green/purple lines above and below text, etc.) after the firmware update, even when I look very closely at the screen. Have read here and there that Windows 11 would also have this issue less / not. Since I have everything running on Windows 11, I can't compare that. This was a possible issue that I was most worried about before purchasing, but which was ultimately unjustified.
Samsung TV is a nice feature, but unnecessary for me personally, there is also quite a bit of compression in the stream, which is reflected in slightly blocky images. Netflix and Disney+ stream in higher quality, but if you're not too picky, it's great to watch.
All in all very satisfied with it.

Likes it. I read in other reviews that the menu is slow, but not bothered by this.
