Samsung's new Odyssey G8 is the world's first 6K gaming monitor

Samsung has unveiled its next-generation Odyssey Gaming monitors, which include the world's first 6K gaming display. The 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS model) boosts resolution from 4K to 6K to enhance clarity and detail while maintaining a 165 Hz refresh rate. Naturally, pushing 6K natively requires a powerful GPU and system, so the new Odyssey G8 is also a dual-mode display that supports 3K at 330 Hz for enhanced responsiveness and motion clarity when gaming.

Samsung also announced a 27-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HF model) that supports 5K at 180 Hz, with a dual-mode that supports 1440p at 360 Hz. Samsung also announced new OLED gaming monitors this week and stated that it's currently the global OLED gaming monitor market leader with a 26 percent share. The company's next-gen OLED gaming monitors include the new Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH), available in 27- and 32-inch variants.

With the latest QD-OLED Penta Tandem technology, the new OLED G8 monitors deliver improved efficiency, durability, and brightness compared to previous-gen models, with the flagship 32-inch model receiving VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. Both sport 4K resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatibility.

Samsung is also set to launch a more affordable OLED gaming monitor, the new 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH). The company notes that it's designed to bring "premium visual performance to a wider range of users," with the monitor sporting a 4K resolution with a lower 165 Hz refresh rate. However, with dual-mode capabilities, it also supports FHD (1080p) at 330 Hz while maintaining an ultra-fast 0.03ms response time.
