Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85
Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 is a higher-end monitor than the Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70, so it's the better choice for most gamers. The biggest advantage of the Neo G8 is that it uses Mini LED backlighting, which the G70D doesn't, so the Neo G8 has better local dimming with deeper blacks and brighter highlights. This makes the Neo G8 a better choice for HDR gaming. The Neo G8 also has a higher 240Hz refresh rate for a smoother feel, but it has more smearing with fast-moving objects than the G70D. The G70D has some advantages, though, as it has fewer bugs and wider viewing angles, making it the better choice for sharing your screen with others. The G70D also has a built-in smart OS, so you can stream content without a PC.
