Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it is adding a new exclusive British Museum collection consisting of 30 artworks to Samsung Art Store.¹ Available on compatible Samsung Art TVs, the curated selection features work by John Constable, Joseph Mallord William Turner, and other renowned artists.

The collection includes Constable’s English countryside vistas, famous for the artist’s rare ability to portray shifting weather patterns in the sky. Turner’s watercolours, on the other hand, range from stormy seascapes to views of Venice, Rome, and Zurich.

“Samsung is committed to using our technology to make world-class art more accessible to everyone,” said Gwiho Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By welcoming these iconic British Museum pieces into our platform, we are proud to offer our global audience an effortless way to appreciate historic art at home.”

Samsung Art Store subscribers will have access to the British Museum collection and will be able to simply browse the selection, choose a work to display on their TV, and switch to another work whenever they like.

“We’re delighted to work with Samsung to make more of the Museum’s collection available to people at home,” said Lisa San Martin, Interim Commercial Director of the British Museum. “We hope it encourages viewers to explore works they already know and discover others for the first time.”

The launch builds on Samsung’s relationship with the British Museum. Samsung is also a corporate partner of the museum’s “Korea” exhibition that opened on 1 October and runs through 31 January 2027.

The British Museum collection will be available on Samsung Art Store starting 6 October.

About The British Museum

Founded in 1753, the British Museum was the first national public museum in the world. From the outset it was a museum of the world, for the world, and this idea still lies at the heart of the Museum’s mission today. The collection tells the stories of cultures across the world, from the dawn of human history, over two million years ago, to the present. Objects range from the earliest tools made by humans and treasures from the ancient world to more recent acquisitions from Africa, Oceania and the Americas, the Middle East, Asia and Europe, as well as the national collections of prints and drawings, and coins and medals.

The installation transformed a conventional booth into an immersive experience where visitors encountered lifelike characters at scale, blurring the line between digital worlds and physical spaces.

Extending Fan Engagement Into Physical Spaces

For game publishers and IP owners, the challenge lies in translating digital characters into physical environments.

At the entrance to the booth of NC, a global game developer and publishing company, an 85-inch Spatial Signage display was integrated into an elevator-themed installation and introduced Astrae Oratio characters at near life-size scale. Featuring Samsung’s patented 3D Plate technology, Spatial Signage created a vivid sense of depth without requiring viewers to wear 3D glasses, bringing the game’s characters and its magical world into the physical space.

“We wanted visitors to come face-to-face with the characters at life-size scale and feel immersed in the game’s world from the moment they entered the booth,” said Yongsoo Lee, Head of Astrae Oratio Business Division at NC. “For games in the subculture genre, the liveliness and realism of the characters are especially important. We believed that Samsung Spatial Signage would make this possible.”

Visitors responded immediately to the display’s scale, movement, and sense of depth.

Content creator Kawaii CoCo noted, “The character felt interactive because she was moving around, which made her feel a little more human-like. That really caught my attention.” She added that the display’s social media presence was undeniable. “It’s much more prominent and looks much better on social media, so I wanted to capture some footage and show my audience this really cool display.”

Despite its slim 52mm profile,¹ Spatial Signage is designed to create the visual impression of depth, making it appear as though the space extends behind the screen. This immersive effect creates a powerful impression when viewers first encounter a game and its characters in public settings.

Booth visitor Daniel Acero said, “Having this as the first impression of the game in public is really helpful for shaping public perception of the game. It also conveys the personalities of the characters.” He added, “I didn’t realize it was a display screen. I thought it was a transparent screen with an actual space behind it. It really created a strong sense of depth.”

Beyond the entrance, compact 32-inch Spatial Signage displays, with an even slimmer profile of 49.4mm, were placed in waiting areas and along the visitor route, extending the character experience throughout the booth. The smaller form factor enabled flexible installation in space-constrained areas while helping visitors remain engaged with the game’s characters and its world as they waited.

Visitor Tomas Portier said, “Even if the queue was kind of long, Spatial Signage helped the time pass more quickly while helping me get to know the characters a little better. It’s more lively than a still image or a conventional screen.”

Creating Visual Impact While Maximizing Space

For retailers and venue operators, visual impact needs to work within the realities of physical space. Spatial Signage’s slim profile, combined with glasses-free 3D presentation, enabled NC to make strategic use of limited space.

“Designing the visitor flow was quite challenging, but since Spatial Signage is very slim, it was really easy to install and make effective use of the space,” Yongsoo Lee explained. “That also gave us room to store merchandise for visitors.”

At the booth entrance, NC used the installation as both a visual focal point and a functional part of the layout. While the display captured visitors’ attention, the area behind it provided concealed storage for merchandise.

Visitor David Yousefi observed, “When you present it like this in a box, I thought it was much larger.” He added, “But it’s pretty cool that you can put it all into such a limited space.”

This flexibility could help character IP owners, retailers, and venue operators bring content into a wider range of physical environments.

Miguel Moren, a gaming industry professional and TGS 2026 exhibitor, said, “Having animated video game characters in a real-life space creates a really nice blend of the imaginary world and the real world.”

Visitors expressed enthusiasm about potential applications beyond gaming events.

Rio Matsushita suggested, “I think having your favorite character move right in front of you is a really great experience. Even while waiting, I could clearly see the three-dimensional visuals. I think it would be a lot of fun if we could see something like that in places like Akihabara too.”

Nicolas Felix also saw other opportunities for Spatial Signage. “I think it could be used for commercial branding in shops, for example, to showcase clothes on people,” he said. Yousefi also pointed to additional applications in other public-facing environments. “I could also see it being successful in theme parks or other events where you want to showcase something.”

Beyond Tokyo Game Show: Expanding the Possibilities of Spatial Signage

The Tokyo Game Show installation is one of several commercial deployments of Samsung Spatial Signage across entertainment, retail, and event environments. At Everland Safari World in Korea, it was integrated into the attraction’s waiting queue, extending the safari experience into areas traditionally reserved for crowd management. The Governors Ball Music Festival in the United States showcased merchandise on an 85-inch display, integrating commerce into the live-event experience.

These installations demonstrate how Spatial Signage brings digital content to physical space through a combination of visual impact, spatial efficiency, and visitor engagement. With a range of display sizes and a form factor designed to integrate seamlessly into existing environments, the technology enables storytelling opportunities in spaces where conventional displays have been limited.

Samsung AI Assistant is a built-in app for compatible Android-based Samsung Interactive Displays¹ that helps teachers support every stage of a lesson with AI-powered features². With features including Live Transcript, Circle to Search, AI Quiz and My Lessons, teachers can support more accessible instructions, quickly bring additional learning resources into class and review student understanding.

Watch the video below to see how Samsung AI Assistant helps teachers enhance classroom engagement across every stage of a lesson.

Live Transcript: Begin Class with More Accessible Instruction

In classrooms, it is important that every student can understand and follow classroom instruction. In larger lecture rooms, the teacher’s voice can be harder to hear, and for some students, spoken instruction alone may not always be enough.

Samsung AI Assistant’s Live Transcript³ feature converts teachers’ spoken instructions into real-time text displayed on the screen, helping students follow along with the lesson. Teachers can adjust the transcript’s language, font size and screen position to accommodate different classroom needs.

When paired with Samsung’s screen sharing app,⁴ students can also view the Live Transcript on their own devices,⁵ helping them stay connected to the lesson even if they are seated farther from the display or have difficulty hearing.

Grant Wilson, Solution Architect AV/IFP at STS Education, highlighted how Live Transcript can help students stay connected and better follow classroom instruction.

“Kids these days are turning on transcripts, even as they’re watching movies at home, and it’s helping with their understanding,” said Wilson. “What I really like is that you can pair it with the Samsung screen sharing app, so every student in the classroom has a front-row seat to the screen from their own device.”

Circle to Search: Expand Context in Every Lesson

During the lesson, teachers may need to introduce additional examples and resources to help students connect classroom concepts to real-world context. Finding relevant materials during a lesson, however, can take time.

Circle to Search lets teachers circle any image or object displayed on the screen to quickly find related images, videos and relevant web resources.⁶ Teachers can add search results directly to the whiteboard by pressing and holding the selected results, making it easier to introduce diverse examples and expand on a topic while keeping students focused.

Tambra Clark, Technology Integration Facilitator at Birmingham City Schools and a Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Top 10 winner, highlighted how Circle to Search helps teachers quickly bring relevant resources into lessons.

“Being able to use that Circle to Search feature just saves a lot of time where you don’t have to go in and type in certain words, content or videos,” said Clark. “Everything comes up at once simply by circling that word.”

AI Quiz and My Lessons: Review Learning and Continue Beyond the Classroom

As the lesson wraps up, Samsung AI Assistant helps teachers review student understanding using AI Quiz.

Teachers can generate quizzes based on transcripts from recorded lessons and uploaded materials. Because AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson transcripts and uploaded materials, it helps keep quizzes aligned with what was taught in class.

After a teacher creates an AI Quiz, students can join the quiz from their own devices using a QR code or link. Once students submit their answers, teachers can reveal the correct answers on the screen after each question and provide explanations. The results dashboard then helps teachers review comprehension and identify topics that may require further instruction.

“You can see where the students are at, and you’re able to identify areas of improvement with that quiz,” said Clark.

Beyond quizzes, voice-recorded lessons are automatically saved in My Lessons, where teachers can revisit transcripts, review AI-generated summaries and share materials for future classes.

Shaun Taylor, Director of Sales at STS Education, highlighted how these features can help teachers adapt instruction for every student in the classroom.

“The word that I would use from my experience is differentiation,” said Taylor. “Having tools that allow students to engage at their own pace helps support different learning needs.”

From supporting accessible instruction to expanding classroom exploration and helping teachers review student understanding, Samsung AI Assistant enables more engaging and accessible learning experiences directly through Samsung Interactive Displays.

Samsung AMS (Account Management Solution) helps transform shared Samsung Interactive Displays into personalized, secure workspaces that follow teachers across classrooms. With seamless sign-in and cloud-connected profiles, teachers can quickly access their files, apps, and settings wherever they teach.

Watch the video below to see how Samsung AMS helps educators access personalized workspaces while enabling schools to centrally manage accounts, connected displays, and emergency alerts.

A Personalized Workspace That Follows Teachers Across Classrooms

With Samsung AMS, each teacher can access a secure, cloud-connected workspace on compatible Samsung Interactive Displays¹. Instead of setting up their workspace every time they move to a different classroom, teachers can sign in with a QR code or NFC-enabled ID card² and immediately access their files, apps, and personalized settings, eliminating the need for password entry in the presence of students.

Once signed in, teachers can access the same personalized workspace on any compatible Samsung Interactive Display. Their cloud-connected profile automatically loads their files, apps, wallpaper, bookmarks, and app shortcuts, creating a carefully arranged teaching environment.

Jelena Živko, Senior Instructional Technology Specialist with Volusia County School District, highlighted how Samsung AMS helps teachers maintain a consistent experience as they move between classrooms.

“If I’m a math teacher and I have to teach in various classrooms, I can sign in, everything is ready to go, my lesson is there for me,” said Živko. “Being logged in with all of my credentials, I have access to all of my files, the tools, and my preferences. I can customize it to best fit my needs.”

In addition, Samsung AMS provides single sign-on access to the built-in Samsung AI Assistant app³, allowing teachers to access previous lesson materials, including AI-generated summaries, without signing in again. With their workspace available across compatible displays, teachers can move between classrooms without losing access to the tools and lesson materials they use every day.

Because classroom displays are often shared by multiple teachers, Samsung AMS helps protect each teacher’s workspace. Each teacher receives a secure and encrypted workspace, helping keep personal settings and classroom content protected from unauthorized access.

Simplifying School IT Management With Samsung Education Portal

As schools deploy more shared classroom displays, they need a simple way to manage teacher accounts, connected displays, and Emergency Alerts.

Samsung Education Portal centralizes these tasks, allowing IT teams to register teachers, enroll compatible Samsung Interactive Displays, and link NFC-enabled ID cards to user accounts from a single portal⁴. Displays can also be organized using location tags by school, building, or classroom, making large deployments easier to manage.

Samsung Education Portal also simplifies Emergency Alert management by integrating with major notification platforms, including InformaCast and Raptor⁵. IT teams can configure custom alert templates in advance and assign them to selected displays or display groups.

When an emergency signal is received, the appropriate alert automatically appears on enrolled Samsung Interactive Displays. This gives schools a visual way to share urgent information across displays throughout the building.

Leah Fuller, Sr. Manager Vertical Sales Leader from Best Buy Education, highlighted the impact of Samsung Education Portal’s Emergency Alert feature. “I think that gives a ton of assurance not just to staff but students and their families as well,” said Fuller.

By creating personalized classroom experiences for teachers and simplifying how shared displays are managed, Samsung AMS helps schools create more seamless and secure learning environments.

Reflecting Gamescom 2026’s “The Heart of Gaming” theme, the booth brought these experiences together across Samsung’s latest displays and gaming technologies. On August 27, Samsung introduced its 2027 Odyssey lineup at its central event, “#PlaySamsung: The Next Era of Gaming Displays,” alongside new developments spanning gaming displays, HDR, and game content.

The audience’s excitement for the new Odyssey gaming monitors’ advanced display technology demonstrated the gaming community’s appetite for innovation tailored to every playstyle.

A New Generation of Odyssey Takes the Stage

At the heart of the booth was Samsung’s newest Odyssey lineup, with the Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G7 making their debut on stage during “#PlaySamsung: The Next Era of Gaming Displays.” The Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey G6 were also showcased through digital demonstrations, highlighting the range of screen formats and performance options coming to Samsung’s 2027 lineup.

Popular Twitch streamer Esfand (EsfandTV) joined the stage session to discuss how screen format can change the way players experience and follow action in a game.

“The clarity and contrast of Samsung’s new Odyssey lineup are so nice. Once you see the new monitors, you really notice the difference in how they fully immerse you in the game,” said Esfand.

Seeing More of the Action With Odyssey OLED G9

The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SJ) is the world’s first 49-inch Dual QHD gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, giving players a broad view of the action across its ultra-wide screen.

At Gamescom, the expansive format put game environments, track layouts, maps, and activity at the edges of the screen into view, demonstrating how a wider display can change the way players follow fast-moving gameplay.

Pulling Worlds Closer With Odyssey OLED G7

Samsung also unveiled the Odyssey OLED G7 (G75SJ), the world’s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor.

With approximately 72% more screen area than a 32-inch model, the display gives games with detailed environments more room to unfold. Its 1000R curve brings the edges of the screen closer to the player’s line of sight, creating a format suited to games where maps, interfaces, and action extend across the display.

“The scale and curve of the new Odyssey OLED G7 create a whole new level of immersion. It’s great that Samsung designed the monitor with open-world environments in mind,” said a #PlaySamsung booth visitor.

More Options for Competitive and Multi-Mode Gaming

The new Odyssey lineup extends beyond large OLED formats, giving players additional options based on how they play.

The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SJ) gives players three display modes to choose from. Triple Mode supports UHD at up to 360Hz, QHD at up to 520Hz, and FHD at up to 680Hz.

The 27-inch Odyssey G6 (G60H) is the world’s first 1,100Hz gaming monitor. Its Dual Mode lets players choose between QHD at up to 600Hz for sharper detail or HD at up to 1,100Hz for the monitor’s highest refresh-rate setting.

“I’m excited about Samsung’s emphasis on frame rate. These monitors will be a game changer for competitive gaming,” said a #PlaySamsung booth visitor.

Together, the four new models show how Samsung’s Odyssey lineup is expanding across ultra-wide, curved, high-refresh-rate, and multi-mode formats, giving players more ways to match their display to the games they play.

HDR10+ GAMING Connects Game Development and Display Technology

During the stage session, Samsung shared plans to expand HDR10+ GAMING support as game developers look for more consistent HDR presentation across compatible displays. As part of this effort, Samsung is working with Activision Blizzard to bring HDR10+ GAMING to its upcoming title, Call of Duty^®: Modern Warfare^® 4.

Samsung plans to expand HDR10+ GAMING support to more than 20 AAA titles by the first half of 2027. The technology can support brighter highlights, deeper dark scenes, and accurate contrast across different game environments, while reducing the need for players to manually adjust HDR settings before starting a compatible game.

“There’s an entire ecosystem in gaming, from the developer to the hardware companies. Whenever these companies come together, the product is always going to be the best thing players can get,” said Esfand.

“Developers want their games to look consistent across different scenes and displays, without requiring players to adjust calibration settings. HDR10+ GAMING gives developers another way to preserve their HDR presentation while helping players see more detail across a range of environments,” said Pepe Dijkstra, Director of the European Visual Organization at Samsung Electronics.

The action continued on August 29 at the #PlaySamsung booth with the Samsung Odyssey Showdown: Call of Duty^®: Modern Warfare^® 4. The 6v6 combat match with gaming content creators Zyro, Rewinside, EloTRiX, and Rosemondy gave visitors an exciting opportunity to play the title ahead of its official October 23 release.

The experience showed how compatible displays can use scene-by-scene lighting and color information from the game to present its visuals. A dedicated Call of Duty^® photo zone recreated scenery and props from the game, giving visitors another way to step into its world.

From Realistic Adventures to Glasses-Free 3D

The gaming experiences continued across the rest of the booth, where Samsung connected its displays with titles spanning open-world adventures, glasses-free 3D, and TV gaming.

At Pearl Abyss, visitors got a closer look at Crimson Desert Enhanced, a new version of the open-world action-adventure featuring new cutscenes and dialogue that strengthen the story’s narrative flow. During the session, Rick van Beem, Senior Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Pearl Abyss Europe, highlighted how the Odyssey G8 brings the game’s environment to life with features including Dual Mode and HDR10+ GAMING support.

The experience continued in a dedicated console area, where Crimson Desert was paired with Samsung’s 83-inch OLED TV S99H, named Best Gaming TV of 2026 by T3. The TV features a 165Hz refresh rate, Game Mode, and Ultimate Gaming Pack. Visitors could also take part in Crimson Desert quizzes and activities inspired by elements of the game for a chance to receive exclusive merchandise.

Meanwhile, newly supported titles, Cyberpunk 2077 and Cronos: The New Dawn, were featured on stage and at Samsung’s dedicated Odyssey 3D zone to demonstrate how Odyssey 3D can create depth and spatial perspective across detailed game worlds.

The glasses-free experience uses Odyssey 3D display technology to create depth and spatial perspective within the game, allowing visitors to experience the worlds from a different perspective without specialized glasses.

The booth also featured a cloud gaming area invited visitors to play through Samsung Gaming Hub on 48-inch OLED TVs, showing how gaming can be enjoyed directly on a TV。

From the queue areas to the gameplay stations and interactive activities, the different experiences connected the booth into one broader look at how players can engage with games across competitive shooters, open-world adventures, console gaming, cloud gaming, and glasses-free 3D.

More Choice Across Speed, Screen Size, and OLED Picture Quality

At Gamescom 2026, Samsung showed how gaming displays are evolving alongside the games and players they serve.

The 2027 Odyssey lineup gives players more choice across screen formats, performance settings and OLED picture quality — from the expansive Odyssey OLED G9 and curved OLED G7 to the high-refresh-rate Odyssey G6 and multi-mode Odyssey OLED G8.

Across the booth, partnerships and gaming experiences put those technologies into context, showing how Samsung displays can support different genres, platforms, and ways of playing.

Samsung has led the global gaming monitor market for seven consecutive years, continuing to expand its full-stack portfolio as gaming evolves across screens, formats, and communities.

“Players come to Gamescom to discover what is next, try new games, and experience the technology they need to stay focused and compete at their best,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With new form factors, higher refresh rates, and advanced display technologies, the 2027 Odyssey lineup gives players more choice across competitive play, cinematic games, and multi-purpose setups.”

Samsung To Spotlight 2027 Odyssey Lineup at Gamescom 2026

Samsung will present the 2027 Odyssey lineup for the first time during its dedicated Gamescom 2026 session, “#PlaySamsung : The Next Era of Gaming Displays,” at 10:30 a.m. CET on Aug. 27. The session will explore how screen size, resolution, refresh rate, and display modes suit different games and play styles.

The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SJ model) and Odyssey OLED G7 (G75SJ model) will be unveiled on stage, while the Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SJ model) and Odyssey G6 (G60H model) will be introduced on-screen during the keynote.

As a part of the session, Samsung will also spotlight its HDR10+ GAMING partnership with Activision Blizzard, bringing richer HDR gameplay into the development process for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4. The technology helps compatible Odyssey monitors and Samsung displays deliver color and contrast that more accurately reflect the creative intent of each game. Samsung plans to expand the HDR10+ GAMING ecosystem to more than 20 AAA titles by the first half of 2027.

The company will also showcase its expanding Odyssey 3D game support, developed through direct collaboration with game studios. New supported titles, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Cronos: The New Dawn, will be presented on stage to demonstrate how Odyssey 3D adds depth and spatial perspective to detailed game worlds.

Odyssey OLED G9: 49-Inch OLED Speed for Ultra-Wide Gameplay

The Odyssey OLED G9 is the world’s first 49-inch DQHD gaming monitor with a 360 Hz refresh rate. It features a fifth-generation QD-OLED panel with Penta Tandem technology. Its five-layer panel structure is up to 1.3 times more efficient and offers up to twice the lifetime of the previous generation. The RGB Stripe sub-pixel layout reduces color fringing and supports clearer text, while the display reaches a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits on a 3% window at 4K resolution.¹

Built for players who want a wider field of view without giving up speed, the Odyssey OLED G9 features Dual QHD resolution (5120 x 1440), a 360 Hz refresh rate, a 0.03 ms GtG response time, and Dual Mode support. Players can use DQHD at 360 Hz for a wide, high-resolution view or switch to Dual HD (2560 x 720) at up to 720 Hz when they want even faster performance.

Odyssey OLED G8: 4K OLED Picture Quality and Triple-Mode Speed

The Odyssey OLED G8 is a 32-inch UHD OLED gaming monitor that pairs QD-OLED picture quality with a top refresh rate of 360 Hz for fast, fluid gameplay and Triple Mode support. It features a fifth-generation QD-OLED panel with Penta Tandem technology and RGB Stripe subpixels, and players can switch between UHD at 360 Hz, QHD at 520 Hz, and FHD at 680 Hz to balance resolution and speed based on the game, device, and performance settings. Additionally, Samsung Glare Free technology uses a film that is 54% less glossy than conventional anti-reflection film, reducing external reflections for clearer daytime play.²

The monitor also features a 0.03 ms GtG response time, and VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 600.³ It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and has NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible support⁴ for detailed HDR visuals and smooth gameplay. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20, two HDMI ports, one USB-C port with 98 W Power Delivery, a USB hub with two downstream ports, and KVM support.

Odyssey OLED G7: A New Category With 42-inch Curved OLED Gaming

The Odyssey OLED G7 is the world’s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor, with a screen area approximately 72% larger than the previous 32-inch model.⁵ It combines 1000R curvature, 4K OLED picture quality, a 165 Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03 ms GtG response time in an unprecedented configuration for the category. Its curved screen, with a radius of 1,000 mm, brings the edges closer to the player’s line of sight to deliver a massive cinematic view optimized for RPG and open-world games. At the same time, Glare Free technology reduces reflections from external light sources for clearer daytime play.

Odyssey G6: Pushing Competitive Play to 1,100Hz

The 27-inch Odyssey G6 is the world’s first 1,100 Hz gaming monitor built for FPS players who place speed and motion clarity first. It builds on the model introduced at CES 2026 with an upgraded final launch specification of up to 1,100 Hz in HD and up to 600 Hz in QHD through Dual Mode. With a Fast IPS panel and 1 ms response time, the Odyssey G6 gives competitive players the option to prioritize sharper QHD detail or a higher refresh rate. The Odyssey G6 will be available globally in the second half of 2026.
