Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming monitor is now available for pre-order in Australia. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

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.”

Experience the world of 3D gaming with Samsung Odyssey 3D. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

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

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in the display industry, has secured the top position in global sales of OLED monitors just one year after launching its first OLED model —  the 34″ Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB model), a gaming monitor.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung Electronics has taken the top position in the global OLED monitor market by capturing 34.7% of market share [1] based on total revenue, and the top position in market share based on sales volume with 28.3% of OLED monitors sold in 2023.[2]

“The OLED monitor market is highly competitive, so reaching the top spot requires innovation and product quality,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This achievement speaks to our drive for excellence and understanding of consumer needs, the key factors in producing outstanding OLED monitors for performance-demanding gamers around the globe.”

Samsung has also maintained its leadership in the overall global gaming monitor market for the fifth consecutive year, recording a market share of 20.8% in terms of total revenue.[3]

Since entering the OLED market, Samsung has continued to innovate and receive praise for new monitors, including the Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC model), which received widespread acclaim from experts and reviewers worldwide.

At CES 2024, Samsung announced an expansion of its OLED monitor lineup, unveiling three new products:

• The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model), with a 32” 4K UHD resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time (GtG[4])
• The Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model), with a 27” QHD resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time (GtG)
• An updated Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD model), with 49” dual QHD resolution in a 32:9 aspect ratio, a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time (GtG) and new features

The new OLED offerings have impressed early reviewers, and have already won awards. At CES — the most powerful tech event in the world — the Odyssey OLED G9 was named a CES® 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree.[5]

Samsung will continue to diversify its gaming monitor lineup by introducing new Odyssey OLED models, each of which will leverage Samsung’s proprietary OLED technology. This innovation follows the success of the Odyssey Neo series with Quantum Mini LED technology, as well as the Odyssey Ark, which showcased a groundbreaking interface and form factor.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., today announced new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors debuting at CES® 2024, the world’s biggest tech event owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, in Las Vegas next week.

The new OLED models deliver on the performance and visual clarity gamers look for in their monitors, and include the Odyssey OLED G9 (Model Name: G95SD), Odyssey OLED G8 (Model Name: G80SD), and the Odyssey OLED G6 (Model Name: G60SD).

The Odyssey OLED G9 is a 49″ curved ultra-wide gaming monitor with DQHD (5,120×1,440) resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio and other upgraded features.[1] The Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first flat 32-inch Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3,840×2,160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Both monitors have a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time[2]. The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27″ QHD (2,560×1,440) monitor which supports a 16:9 aspect ratio, 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time.

“Along with game genres, gaming platforms are getting more diverse,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s new OLED Odyssey gaming monitors will empower gamers with more immersive game environments and innovative technology that personalizes their gaming experiences — meeting and exceeding their evolving needs.”

Technologies Enabling Delicate Nuance

The monitors deliver incredible details and vivid colors independent of the game or content being displayed. What’s more, they support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for ultra-smooth, low-latency HDR gaming.

The three new monitors bring comprehensive physical connectivity, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB hub and a DisplayPort 1.4 input. Users can also enjoy better comfort and convenience with VESA[3] mount compatibility and a height adjustable stand (HAS) that features tilt, swivel and pivot[4] control points.

Connected Experiences in a Complete Ecosystem

The Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 now offer Multi Control, a new feature that provides seamless device connectivity for an easy multi-device experience. Multi Control allows users to seamlessly transfer images and/or text between their Samsung monitor and other Samsung devices — including their tablet or phone — for a smooth and efficient work process using their mouse and keyboard[5].

Additionally, the Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 include the Samsung SmartThings Hub. With the built-in hub, users can connect to various IoT devices that are compatible with Matter and the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), for device control[6].

When switching from work to play, the Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 monitors are all-in-one entertainment hubs. Equipped with the Samsung Smart TV platform and Samsung Gaming Hub, they provide access to streaming and cloud gaming services without storage constraints or need for a PC/console.[7]

A Sleek Design to Light up Any Space

 For the first time, Samsung has brought flat OLED options to the Odyssey lineup, and a 16:9 aspect ratio to the Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6. The new models leverage the Odyssey OLED lineup’s unique, slim metal design, and include new Core Lighting+ to fit in its slim bezel.

Core Lighting+ helps immerse users in the environments of their games and entertainment by emitting ambient light from the back of the monitor. There’s also a new slim metal stand that adopts a tool-free assembly structure, using a 3mm metal plate that provides harmony with the display design and opens up space for other devices.

With the unveiling of these new models, Samsung has further strengthened its OLED lineup and bolstered its leadership position in the gaming monitor market. Together, the Odyssey OLED innovations and the continued advancements of the Odyssey Neo series — which saw the release of the world’s first Dual UHD gaming monitor last year with the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 — are delivering features and performance that will help define the future of gaming.

Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the future of gaming monitors with the newest entry in its Odyssey gaming monitor range – The Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC model), the World’s First Dual UHD monitor[1] with an astounding 57” display. The new monitor sits at the pinnacle of Samsung’s premium gaming monitor lineup.

“As we stride forward as pioneers in the global display industry, Samsung consistently seeks to redefine the boundaries of excellence, particularly in response to the ever-evolving needs of the gaming community. With the introduction of the world’s first dual UHD monitor[2], the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 paves the way for monitors in 2023 and beyond, helping gamers see new levels of detail with an incredible field of view, said Phil Gaut, Senior Director of Display and Brand Memory, Samsung Australia. The Neo G9 transcends conventional limits, boasting cutting edge technology for those seeking a truly immersive experience with enhanced colour expression and pin sharp imagery, opening the doorway to adventure like never before.”

Odyssey Neo G9 Offers Gamers Incredible Immersion and Performance

The 57” Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC model) is designed to deliver groundbreaking visual experiences for gamers looking to enhance performance and sharpen their competitive edge. With the World’s First Dual Ultra-High-Definition (DUHD) screen[3] and a suite of high-speed connectivity options, the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 earned the Best of Innovation Award at CES 2023.

The 1000R curvature in the 32:9 screen is as wide as two 32” UHD monitors, wrapping around users with pin-sharp images and a wide field of view, immersing them in their games like never before.

Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers small, discrete dimming zones. The result is incredible distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and reduced blooming.

The Odyssey Neo G9 makes the most out of its Quantum Mini LED lighting by combining it with VESA Display HDR1000. With 1,000 nit peak brightness, HDR content appears vivid and life-like, with accurate colour and contrast reproduction. Gaming worlds feel realer than ever with the 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time[4], whilst also incorporating AMD FreeSync Premium Pro which syncs the screen for a stable, lag-free picture.

The Odyssey Neo G9 offers VESA-certified DisplayPort (DP) 2.1 connectivity, which facilitates smooth gaming, efficient video playback and the Neo G9’s DUHD resolution up to 240Hz.[5] In addition to DP2.1, the it also offers HDMI 2.1 and a USB hub, so gamers can hook up all their devices to simplify their set up.

“By bringing DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to their premium gaming monitor, Samsung is opening new doors for gamers,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “More bandwidth, high speeds and fast refresh rates provide new levels of performance and visual fidelity in games, and together the new Samsung displays and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics cards will deliver vivid and immersive gaming experiences yet.”

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desk clean from clutter, while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes offer multiple inputs at a single glance, and the monitor utilises Auto Source Switch+ to instantly connect to new devices without flipping through input sources. An ergonomic stand, Core Lighting+ and CoreSync also enable the monitor to fit in virtually any environment and mood match the vibe of respective games with ambient lighting.

With the launch of the Neo G9, Samsung’s Odyssey range offers a monitor for every gaming experience, with a size and price point for every member of the gaming community, all designed to give them an unfair advantage.

Samsung Gaming Hub also enables players to discover and play games from partners such as XBOX Game Pass[5] and NVIDIA GeForce Now.

The Multi View offering allows gamers to take full advantage of the large display by allowing easy multitasking. For example, gameplay on one side and web browsing on the other. This means that gamers now can enjoy multitasking without the hassle of a multiple-monitor setup.

The Odyssey OLED G9 offers a variety of convenient functions and features that provide an optimised experience whether gaming or viewing. Versatile connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and Micro HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4, and Auto Source Switch+, create cleaner connections from one central USB hub while providing a seamless experience regardless of the content source.

Odyssey Neo G7 – image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Australian launch of Odyssey Neo G7 (Model name: G70NC), the company’s first flat Mini-LED model, adding a new form factor to the industry-leading Odyssey lineup. The new monitor delivers a large screen designed to give gamers a more comprehensive range of vision and details – inviting them to explore the worlds of their games with near life-like picture quality.

“The evolution of our Odyssey range isn’t just about delivering a bigger and better gaming experience.

A Gaming Monitor Big Enough for Any Game and Platform

The large 43” screen delivers 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) with VESA Display HDR600 and HDR 10+ certification for advanced picture quality showcasing some of the best graphics of today. The Odyssey Neo G7 brings Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology to the fore, using Quantum Mini LEDs, which enable ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs. As a result, users can see richer blacks, more expansive colour expression and more detail, even in shadowy gaming environments.
