Rank #2 in Best 32 Inch Gaming Monitor 2026: 10 Ranked, and Four Spec Sheets That Argue With Themselves
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 32" 4K 240Hz OLED Gaming Monitor
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (LS32DG802SUXXU) is a 32-inch 4K OLED monitor and it sits at number two in this guide. At £726.88 it costs 2.9 times the £254.98 that the cheapest 4K screen in the guide asks, and it is the only OLED 4K at 240Hz here. The panel is listed at 3840 x 2160 with a 240Hz refresh rate, a 0.03ms (GtG) response time, HDR10+, built-in speakers and a smart platform for streaming apps.
Two things in the listing do not line up with each other. The description sells "OLED Glare Free" technology that reduces glare from external light, while the specification table gives the screen finish as Glossy. And the rating block shows 4.2 out of 5 from 49 ratings, but the breakdown underneath it adds up to 100 ratings — 65 five-star, 17 four-star and 9 one-star — and all four written reviews shown on the listing are positive. The brightness figure is another one to read carefully: 250 nits (typ), recorded as 250 Candela in the specs. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any hands-on testing of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Only used it for a few hours so far on ps5 pro and it looks amazing. So much better than my older 4k G7 IPS monitor. Crystal clear visuals and amazing colours and HDR that is not fake HDR like my previous monitors. Got smart features which I haven't used yet but I mainly brought this version as I can update it over WiFi instead of messing around with usb sticks.”
