Just in time for summer gaming and streaming shows while we hide away from the heat, Samsung is dropping new gaming monitors, work-worthy monitors, and an updated portable monitor with stand. Some of these Samsung upgrades are industry firsts and will set the benchmark going forward. All new models have yet to be released for ordering, but here are all the details we know so far.High-performance gaming monitors with better resolutionThe Samsung Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors has long been considered some of the best. Naturally, Samsung has decided to outdo itself and we now have 5 and 6K monitors to replace the previous 4K. Both new models feature a DisplayPort 2.1 and have computability with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync.
The Samsung Odyssey G8 is the world' first 6K gaming monitor.
The Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS) marks the very first time we've seen a 6K gaming monitor. That means we'll be treated to better clarity and exceptional details. Samsung used a 224PPI and an IPS panel on this model that'll reach the wild 6K resolution with a refresh rate of 165Hz. Dual mode will give access to up to 330Hz at 3K resolution.Going a bit smaller in size, the 27-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HF) comes with 5K resolution at up to 180Hz with 218PPI. Dual mode brings that to 360Hz. Upgrades to OLED gaming monitorsFor great contrast and ultra-quick performance, you might prefer to head into the OLED range of gaming monitors. Samsung has two new models to check out.The larger of the two, the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH) comes with 4K resolution at up to 165Hz which is great news for high-performance with smooth gameplay. A 0.03ms response time is also welcomed for competitive, fast-paced games.
