Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF 4K UHD HDR Monitor


With modern Linux distributions beginning to see good support for HDR displays, if you have been looking to upgrade to a high dynamic range OLED monitor, one of the newest options that recently launched by Samsung is the Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF.

The Samsung Odyssey G8 G81SF is a brilliant 4K QD-OLED glare-free monitor with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 support, 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. The G81SF does have a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub built-in with two USB-A ports for use as desired but for being a brand new 2025 monitor release it's disappointing the lack of no USB-C or DisplayPort 2.1. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF was working fine when testing with Linux distributions including Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora Workstation 42.
