Samsung Odyssey G85 OLED

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.

I looked at multiple screens for my PC, looked at multiple sites what the best PC screens are and then I came across this one, I may be just one person in the reviews for this screen but believe me when I say I'm really happy am that I bought this one, this is my first time making a review and I think it's because I think this screen deserves it, I can easily get rid of the cables, the screen is really easy to operate and no screen problems , I'm someone who really likes gaming and I think this screen is perfect for that.
