The integrated IoT hub allows the users to check all the IoT devices wirelessly connected to the monitor, while the SmartThings app will enable users to monitor IoT devices throughout the house with ease.

The Odyssey OLED G8 will be available globally from the fourth quarter of 2022, with launch schedules varying by region.
