Just in time for summer games and streaming shows while hiding from the heat, Samsung is dropping new gaming monitors, performance monitors, and an updated portable monitor with stand. Some of these Samsung innovations are industry firsts and will set the benchmark going forward. All of the new models are yet to be released to order, but here are all the details we know so far.
Better performance gaming monitors with better resolution
The Samsung Odyssey range of gaming monitors has long been considered some of the best. Naturally, Samsung decided to outdo them and now we have 5 and 6K monitors that will replace the previous 4K. Both new models feature DisplayPort 2.1 and are compatible with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync.

The Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS) marks the first time we’ve seen a 6K gaming monitor. That means we will be treated in a better way and with different details. Samsung has used 224PPI and an IPS panel in this model that will reach a wild 6K resolution with a refresh rate of 165Hz. Dual mode will provide access to up to 330Hz at 3K resolution.
Slightly smaller in size, the 27-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HF) comes with a 5K resolution up to 180Hz and 218PPI. Dual mode brings that to 360Hz.
Upgrades to OLED gaming monitors
For better contrast and faster performance, you may prefer to go for the OLED range of gaming monitors. Samsung has two new models that you should check out.
The larger of the two, the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH) comes with 4K resolution at up to 165Hz which is good news for high performance with smooth gaming. A response time of 0.03ms is acceptable even in competitive, fast games.
The OLED G8 is ready to play at 240Hz with a focus on deep blacks.

The smaller 27-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH) has a higher refresh rate, at 240Hz. Samsung has also used their Glare Free technology in this model which could make it a very attractive option for those who play in bright rooms or during daylight hours. Samsung also mentions that the new Odyssey OLED G8 has VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification which is a good feature if you prioritize deep blacks and bright, vivid colors.
Workstations have been optimized
Of course, Samsung hasn’t forgotten about us who want to develop monitors designed for work.
