Question about Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 - G85SB

Has anyone used the monitor as an "office screen"? What about burn-in and readability of text? And would the monitor be recommended for 70% office / 30% gaming?

In my experience, no. I had the same application and returned the monitor. Burn-in was not a problem. If it has to be OLED, then it's better to go for the newer OLED monitors with a different pixel layout. But what bothered me the most was that the G85SB has so many bugs on the software side that you sometimes can't use it, e.g. laptop is sporadically not loaded or recognised, etc. Unfortunately, I can't really recommend it.

The monitor is great for gaming and I would rather recommend it for 70% gaming and 30% office. OLED burn-in is not a topic, but readability is definitely not one of the strengths of this monitor. It's best to watch review videos on YouTube. They explicitly show how OLED handles text - so you can decide whether it's right for you or not.
