Samsung has announced a smaller version of its Odyssey Neo curved gaming monitor. The Odyssey Neo G8 is a 32-inch gaming monitor with the same 1000R curvature as the $ 2,500 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9. The R stands for radius, and compared to the 1800R and 1500R curvature, which are both common in the monitor market, Samsung specializes in the 1000R curvature which is a lot more, well, curvy. In comparison, the 1800R looks like a flat screen. Likewise, the G8 has 2,000 nits of peak brightness and promises brilliant picture quality with its Quantum Mini-LED panel.

Samsung hasn’t shared a price or release date for the Odyssey Neo G8, but only offers a few pictures and details until a later date. Aside from the size difference, the Odyssey Neo G8 has a similar design language to the G9, although the key difference is that the G8 boosts the resolution from QHD Plus to 4K. Notably, Samsung claims this is the first 4K monitor to support a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. It’s also compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia’s G-Sync adaptive sync technology, so your games should run smoothly and jerkily, assuming your GPU is powerful enough to push 4K resolution at high frame rates.

Samsung decided to share this news shortly before the onslaught of CES 2022 announcements, although we’ll have to wait until after the show to learn more about the Odyssey Neo G8, such as price and availability. Until then, check out the other monitor Samsung just announced – the M8 smart monitor.
