Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85
Samsung Odyssey G65D S32BG65D
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 and the Samsung Odyssey G6/G65D S32BG65D are both 240Hz gaming monitors, but there are a few differences. The Neo G8 has a higher 4k resolution, and it features Mini LED backlighting that results in much better picture quality than the Odyssey G6. Another difference is that the Odyssey G6 supports the Tizen smart platform, which makes it easy to stream content without the need for a PC.
