Samsung's answer to LG's 27-inch OLED undercuts it on one number and matches it on the other: 360 Hz against LG's 240, and the same decision to put a matte treatment over the panel rather than leave it glossy.
Best for: A room with windows that would defeat a glossy OLED

Tizen, the smart-TV platform off Samsung's televisions, ships on this 32-inch 4K QD-OLED and cuts both ways: apps and streaming with no PC attached, and an interface that would rather be a television.
Best for: A 4K OLED desktop that also needs to work without a PC attached

Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD: what it gives up
- The matte film lays a faint grain over large white areas, which shows in documents more than in games
- QD-OLED's triangular subpixel layout fringes coloured text more visibly than WOLED does
- No USB-C, so a laptop needs its own charger plus a DisplayPort or HDMI cable
- 250 nits full-field SDR is dim for daytime desk work
- Raised blacks under ambient light are QD-OLED's known weakness; a dark room hides it and a bright one does not
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD: what it gives up
- TFTCentral measured 260 nits full-field in SDR — bright rooms will wash it out regardless of the 1,000-nit peak claim
- The smart platform inserts itself into the input switching and carries ads in the launcher
- QD-OLED still lifts black level once there is ambient light, and the matte film turns that into an even grey wash rather than hiding it
- No USB-C at all, so nothing docks here on a single cable
- No KVM, so switching sources does not move the keyboard and mouse
