Even so, I'm still having trouble recommending 4K high-refresh monitors to people who have to buy and build their own systems. On the other hand, if you’ve already got the most powerful gaming PC in your friend group and you’ve got the cash to spare, you’ll be extremely pleased with the Samsung G81SF. The result is just about the best gaming monitor experience you can have at the moment. For most folks, the QD-OLED screens are going to be the absolute best gaming experience you can find, but there are alternatives. Given the high refresh and resolution, leveraging adaptive refresh here will be crucial for preventing tearing, and the Samsung features FreeSync Premium Plus, rather than Nvidia G-Sync.
