Samsung Launches Next-Gen Odyssey Gaming Monitors That Showcase Immersive 3D and OLED Excellence

Monitor lineup enables gaming with new immersive 3D monitor and stunning OLED on 4K 240Hz screen

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the availability of its newest Odyssey gaming monitors. The 2025 Odyssey lineup includes the revolutionary Odyssey 3D, the stunning Odyssey OLED G8 — which features an 4K, 240Hz screen — and the ultrawide Odyssey G9. These monitors, which push the boundaries of immersion and excellence, have been meticulously designed to deliver excellence to modern gamers.

“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,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

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

The new Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) 27” monitor introduces an innovative 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 Reality Hub app¹, which makes the action jump out of the screen to bring new energy and immersion to 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, launching on March 28.
• Neowiz for the critically acclaimed Lies of P. The company’s first downloadable content (DLC), Overture, is scheduled for release this summer.

The partnering developers now have control over 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision. Samsung plans to continuously expand its partnerships with more global game studios.

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 content².

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 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 colors that synchronize with the screen’s lighting, enhancing the 3D screen and turning game environments into a life-like experience.

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

The picture quality of OLED gets a performance boost on the new Odyssey OLED G8(G81SF model). Available in 27” and 32” models, the 27” has 166 pixels-per-inch and the 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. Both sizes of the OLED G8 bring innovative performance and visual quality together.

The new 4K QD-OLED visuals deliver amazing details, with enhanced colors 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 colors pop, even at the high, typically 250 nit brightness. Glare Free technology certified by Underwriters Laboratories³ (UL) allows the screen to produce less reflection, reducing distractions during use. The AI processor in the monitor can also upscale picture quality for lower resolution content — making the most of the 4K screen even when playing games or watching videos with lower resolution⁴.

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

The 240Hz refresh rate and .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

Odyssey G9 Allows More Gamers To Experience Curved Ultrawide Gaming

The Odyssey G9 (G91F model) brings ultrawide gaming to more people with a simplified approach that does not sacrifice performance. Its 49’’ Dual QHD display features a 1000R curve, wrapping high-quality visuals and exciting gameplay around the user.

A 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time keep gameplay responsive and quick, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro allows the action to flow without tearing or stuttering. The VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification brings colors to vivid life with clarity, while HDR10+ GAMING enhances the screen with optimized brightness, contrast and color range for a dynamic picture.

The Odyssey G9 also delivers exceptional multitasking ability, with Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture features. With these, two different devices can be viewed at the same time, with flexible size options available in Picture-in-Picture mode. The Odyssey G9 also helps users get to games faster with the Auto Source Switch+, which detects connected devices and automatically displays them when they are turned on.
