Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has unveiled its 2025 Smart Monitor, Odyssey Gaming Monitor and ViewFinity Monitor lineups at Samsung’s First Look event at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Las Vegas, on January 5.

Samsung’s 2025 models raise the bar for monitors by bringing AI features, industry-first sizes in the OLED market, and new form factors that can ignite the passions of users worldwide — whether they’re working, gaming or creating.

“With the new monitors in our  renowned lineups, we’re giving people more ways to explore the content and connections that they love in new ways,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Because of our new AI capabilities and size options, 2025 will see users across the world find the right monitor for whatever they need.”

Smart Monitor M9: Entertainment and Efficiency Get an AI Upgrade

Samsung’s new Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) shows off industry-first AI features at CES. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

The Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) introduces industry-first AI features that enhance entertainment and interactivity through smart picture adaptation and search functions.

As the first monitor to integrate on-device AI[1], the Smart Monitor M9 features AI Picture Optimiser, which analyses input signals to determine the type of content being viewed — such as gaming, video or productivity applications — and automatically adjusts the display settings for the best visual experience[2]. For gamers, the AI goes further by recognising the genre of the game being played and fine-tunes the picture settings to deliver an optimal and immersive experience for virtually every playstyle[3].

The Smart Monitor M9 also incorporates 4K AI Upscaling Pro, which uses advanced AI processing and neural networks to upgrade lower-resolution content up to 4K quality[4]. By analysing input signals and existing image data, this feature delivers clear visuals with enhanced detail, regardless of the original resolution.

These smart and personalised features enhance the hardware performance of the Smart Monitor M9. It features a 32” 4K OLED screen with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for incredible details and vivid colours. Its thin design, along with the Easy Setup Stand, allows users to effortlessly create their ideal workspace, and a built-in 4K camera makes it convenient to use in virtually any environment.

Availability of the Smart Monitor M9 in Australia has not been announced.

Samsung Odyssey Series: Two Industry Firsts with a 27” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor and an OLED Screen with a 500Hz Refresh Rate

Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6 models powers up exceptional performance at CES. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Samsung’s Odyssey gaming monitor series powers up exceptional performance in new sizes with the 2025 Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6 models.

The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model) is the first 27” 4K (3,840 x 2,160) OLED gaming monitor in the world[5]. The screen packs in 165 pixels per inch (PPI) with a refresh rate of 240Hz. The tight pixel density and screen smoothness gives game creators and players a new level of detail and picture quality as they build and explore realistic gaming worlds.

On the other hand, the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model) redefines speed as the first-ever OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate on its QHD (2,560 x 1,440) screen[6]. The lightning-fast speed and ultra-smooth gameplay unleashes the potential for gamers who demand the best to gain a winning edge from device performance.

Both models deliver a response time of 0.03ms (GTG) for smooth visuals and crisp gameplay, even in fast-paced gaming environments. They also support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and are NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, allowing them to provide smooth pictures with minimal tear and flickering. VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400[7] delivers rich darks without bloom or colour bleed, making the most of the OLED screen, while OLED Glare Free screens keep the focus on the game by minimising distracting reflections and glare.

Thanks to its lenticular lens attached to the front of the panel and its front stereo camera, the Odyssey 3D provides a customisable 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. It can also add a new depth to content by using AI to analyse and convert 2D video into 3D.

The ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model) is Samsung’s largest 16:9 4K monitor to date[8]. Its 37” screen is approximately 34% larger than the previous model[9] and is designed to maximise productivity, immersion and efficiency. More information can be seen at a glance while making the most out of desk space — ushering in a new era of large, high-productivity monitors.

With its sRGB 99% colour gamut faithfully presenting colours on the 4K (3,840 x 2,160) screen, the ViewFinity S8 delivers the colour representation and brightness necessary for professional users to do their best work.

The 2025 ViewFinity S8 has been certified by TÜV Rheinland[10] for ‘Ergonomic Workspace Display,’ recognising its ergonomic design that enhances work immersion, task efficiency and productivity. TÜV-certified[11] Intelligent Eye Care can reduce fatigue in users’ eyes — even during prolonged use — by adjusting the colour temperature based on the environment’s lighting. Eye saver mode and a flicker-free feature also help protect eyes from strain.

With a simple Easy Setup Stand, the S8 also keeps productivity high through a built-in KVM[12] switch, turning the monitor into a single command station for multitasking across several devices with only one mouse and keyboard. Devices can also be connected and charged at the same time with a 90W USB-C connection, making it easy to quickly manage all the accessories a user needs.

Fresh from unveiling its 2023 lineup at CES 2023, Samsung Electronics has today announced the availability of the Samsung Odyssey G6 (G65B) in Australia – the brand’s first 27-inch and 32-inch gaming monitor to pair blistering fast refresh rates and pin-sharp QHD resolution with Smart TV features. The Odyssey G6 easily transforms from a gaming monitor to a Smart TV, giving gamers direct access to their favourite streaming services[1] without compromising gaming performance.

With entertainment and gaming the two most common uses for monitors outside of work[2], Samsung has developed the Odyssey G6 to deliver high refresh rates and low latency, and exceptional contrast and colour, in a 1000R curved display for a truly immersive multi-content experience.

“As seen at CES, our 2023 Odyssey Gaming Monitor range focuses on delivering exceptional speed and image quality with a range of innovative features that now means you can  game, work and watch from an all-in-one Monitor display,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director of Display and Brand Memory Samsung Australia. “In combining game-winning features with Smart TV options, the Odyssey G6 is a one-stop gaming monitor that personalises home entertainment experiences without compromising on the gaming performance that Odyssey is known for.”

Slick Gameplay and Spell-Binding Visuals

The Odyssey G6 boasts an ultra-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time (GtG), and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, reducing screen tearing and input latency, providing a near flawless gaming experience and an ultra-reactive competitive edge. With its QHD resolution packing 1.7 times the pixel density of FHD paired with DisplayHDR600, the Odyssey G6 makes gaming worlds appear almost life-like via bright colours and deep contrast images. Vivid scenes wrap even more tightly around gamers via the 1000R curved display that helps to fill peripheral vision and draws gamers into their virtual avatar’s shoes.

The Odyssey G6 features Game Bar, enabling players to easily check and control game settings such as FPS or HDR, modify response time or screen ratio, as well as the game picture mode without interrupting play. To provide a competitive edge, screen ratios can extend from 16.9 to an ultra-wide 21.9 game view, providing more content to bring gamers closer to the top of the leaderboard.

Smart TV enters the realm of gaming

The Odyssey G6 brings Samsung’s Smart TV Hub to a 27 and 32-inch gaming monitor form factor for the first time, offering flexibility and value to gamers looking to switch between their go-to games and streaming their favourite shows with no downloads or sign-ups[3].

Users can wirelessly connect to a Windows or Mac PC, use Samsung DeX or AirPlay 2 to mirror their screen use, or access Microsoft 365 cloud services[4] for work productivity. Furthermore, the Odyssey G6 is equipped with a high-sensitivity Far Field Voice microphone, allowing gamers to control the device with voice assistants such as Bixby. The Always On Voice[5] function allows users to interact with Bixby even when the monitor is turned off, while displaying conversation related information on the monitor’s screen.

For comfort and convenience, the Odyssey G6 features a VESA-standard ergonomic stand that can swivel, tilt and adjust to the optimum height for gaming or content consumption.

The Odyssey G6 (G65B) is currently available via select retail stores, online gaming resellers, and the Samsung Online Store and is available in 27 and 32-inch display options with an RRP $949.00 and $1,099.00, respectively.
