Odyssey G8 and G7 gaming displays

The Odyssey G8 range consists of three main configurations. The 32-inch G80HS is one of the first gaming monitors to offer 6K resolution with a refresh rate of 165 Hz. It also has a dual mode that allows users to switch to 3K resolution to achieve a refresh rate of 330 Hz. The 27-inch G80HF follows a similar logic and offers 5K resolution at 180 Hz or QHD at 360 Hz via the dual mode.

The OLED G8 (G80SH) uses QD OLED panels in 27-inch and 32-inch sizes and offers 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. Technical innovations include Penta-Tandem technology for brightness and durability, a glare-free coating and USB-C ports that enable a charging power of 98 W.

Across the Odyssey 2026 range, Samsung has implemented DisplayPort 2.1 for higher bandwidth, along with support for AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible. HDR10+ GAMING is also integrated to control contrast and brightness adjustments in real time.
