Guide: Best Settings for the Samsung Odyssey G80SD
Get the best settings for the Samsung Odyssey G80SD, not the easiest screen to configure and control! This guide video covers SDR and HDR modes as well as OLED care options. You can use these settings from a PC input, or equally for external devices like a games console. Watch here
Important: Since recording this video we’ve discovered that the ECO and Standard preset modes can actually remember different settings between SDR and HDR modes, so we would recommend using one of those (ECO is easier as its better configured to start with) instead of switching between the Custom 1 and Custom 2 modes. You can follow the rest of the settings within this video and just configure the ECO mode within SDR mode, and then within HDR mode. Thankfully using this mode also seems to result in the ‘peak brightness’ setting for HDR being remembered properly so you don’t have to activate that each time either.
