Samsung Electronics today announced that it has retained its position as the world’s leading gaming monitor for the sixth consecutive year, according to the latest data from the International Data Corporation (IDC).[1]

Based on total revenue, Samsung captured a leading 21.0% share of the global gaming monitor market in value for 2024[2], reaffirming its dominance in a fast-evolving, performance-driven industry. Samsung also ranked first in the global OLED monitor segment for the second year in a row, reaching a 34.6% market share just two years after launching its first OLED model[3].

“Samsung’s momentum in the gaming display market reflects our relentless pursuit of innovation and deep understanding of what today’s gamers need,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “From immersive 3D experiences to industry-leading OLED performance, we’re shaping the future of gaming.”

Samsung’s continued growth is fuelled by its powerful Odyssey gaming monitor lineup, which sets the standard for immersive and high-performance gaming through a variety of models:

• Odyssey 3D (G90XF model): A revolutionary 27” monitor that delivers immersive glasses-free 3D gaming, powered by eye-tracking and proprietary lenticular lens technology. With seamless 2D-to-3D video conversion via Reality Hub, a 165Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 1ms GTG response time, the monitor redefines interactivity and realism.[4]
• Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model): A cutting-edge 27” or 32” 4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor that delivers exceptional colour accuracy and ultra-fast performance through advanced QD-OLED technology. It features the highest pixel density in its Samsung class, a 0.03ms GTG response time and Samsung OLED Safeguard+ to help protect against burn-in.[5]
• Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model)[6]: A 27” QHD QD-OLED monitor with an ultra-fast 500Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms GTG response time — planned for launch in the second half of 2025. The Odyssey G6 helps extend Samsung’s leadership into the competitive gaming segment, helping to bring elite-level speed and responsiveness.[7]

At the core of this next-generation lineup is Samsung’s proprietary Quantum Dot OLED technology, which helps to enhance colour accuracy, contrast and brightness across viewing angles — making it the preferred choice for gamers seeking both stunning picture quality and elite performance.

The Odyssey 3D and the Odyssey OLED G8 are available in Australia. The Odyssey OLED G6 will be available in Australia in the second half of 2025.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has today announced that its newest Odyssey gaming monitors, including the revolutionary Odyssey 3D and the stunning Odyssey OLED G8, are now available for pre-order in Australia. These monitors, which push the boundaries of immersion and excellence, have been meticulously designed to deliver excellence to modern gamers.

“At Samsung, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge display technology that enhances the gaming experience,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “The new Odyssey monitors represent a significant leap forward in innovation, visual quality and performance, empowering gamers to fully immerse themselves and perform at their best.”

Entering the World of 3D Gaming on the Odyssey 3D

The new Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) 27” monitor introduces a groundbreaking 3D gaming experience that does not require dedicated glasses. Advanced eye-tracking technology and a proprietary lenticular lens deliver a natural-looking high-definition 3D image, accessible through the Odyssey 3D Hub app,[1] which makes the action jump out of the screen to bring new energy and immersion to selected games and video content.

Samsung is actively collaborating with major game developers to make the most out of this 3D technology. These collaborations include:

• Nexon for The First Berserker: Khazan, now available in Australia
• Neowiz for the critically acclaimed Lies of P. The company’s first downloadable content (DLC), Overture, is scheduled for release in the second half of 2025.

In addition to 3D gaming, the Odyssey 3D features AI video conversion, which can transform video content into 3D, breathing new life into nearly all content.[2] Every scene of compatible content is analysed and converted to 3D for 3D effects with less eye strain.

The Odyssey 3D also boasts impressive gaming performance. A 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time keep gaming responsive and smooth on its 4K screen, while AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible help reduce choppiness and screen lag, even during fast and complex gameplay.

Edge Lighting takes 3D immersion to the next level by filling the gaming environment with lighting that adapts to games. It fills the space under the monitor with colours that synchronise with the screen’s lighting, enhancing the 3D screen and bringing game environments into real life.

Now available for pre-order in Australia, Odyssey 3D has an RRP of $2,999. For more information, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/au/monitors/gaming/odyssey-3d-g90xf-27-inch-165hz-uhd-ls27fg900xexxy/

Samsung OLED G8 – 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, featuring 166 pixels-per-inch (ppi) — the highest pixel density for a screen of this size. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Odyssey OLED G8 Features Highest Pixel Density on a 27’’ Screen

The incredible picture quality of Samsung OLED gets a performance boost on the new Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model). Available for pre-order from today in 27” and 32” models, the 27” has 166 pixels-per-inch — the highest pixel density for a screen that size — and a 240Hz refresh rate. Both sizes of the OLED G8 bring next level performance and visual quality together.

The new 4K QD-OLED visuals deliver amazing details, with enhanced colours and contrast ratio from any viewing angle thanks to quantum dot technology. Boosted by VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400, it delivers near-infinite contrast that makes vibrant colours pop, even at the high, typically 250nit brightness. Glare Free technology certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) helps minimise reflection, reducing distractions during use[3].

The screen’s image is protected by Samsung OLED Safeguard+. The proprietary Dynamic Cooling System uses a Pulsating Heat Pipe to diffuse heat without adjusting brightness. This helps protect the screen from burn-in.

The 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms (GtG) response time make the Odyssey OLED G8 a top performance gaming monitor, with fast and smooth screen movements. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible to prevent stuttering, tearing and jittering. These performance features combine to make gaming ultra-smooth, responsive and immersive.

The Odyssey OLED G8 also makes a stylish addition to any gaming setup. The slim metal design fits any aesthetic, while Core Lighting+ surrounds the user with lighting based on the screen. And it’s all easy to set up, thanks to the ergonomic stand.

Now available for pre-order in Australia, Odyssey OLED G8 27” has an RRP of $1,799. The Odyssey OLED G8 32” has an RRP of $1,999. For more information, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/au/monitors/gaming/odyssey-oled-g8-g81sf-32-inch-240hz-oled-uhd-ls32fg812sexxy/#specs
