Held from August 20-24 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, this year’s Gamescom drew more than 350,000 fans from around the world eager to see the latest innovations in gaming. Celebrating its 10th year showcasing gaming monitors at the event, Samsung gave attendees a firsthand look at how Odyssey monitors provide the ultimate way to experience their favorite games, whether battling in competitive tournaments, exploring massive open worlds or diving into glasses-free 3D.

Crowds gather at Samsung’s booth at Gamescom 2025 to watch a 5v5 tournament on Samsung’s recently launched Odyssey OLED G6.

Fans of Genshin Impact Enjoy the Experience of Gaming on the 37” and 40” New Large Odyssey Monitors

The centerpiece of Samsung’s booth was its full Odyssey OLED lineup (27”, 32” and 49”), along with the new large gaming monitors—the 37” and 40”^[1] Odyssey G7(G75F). These large-screen displays deliver superb resolution and smooth, stutter-free gameplay with HDR10+ Gaming, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and CoreSync backlight color-matching.

Fans were delighted by HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact on the new monitors, praising the sharp visuals and expansive field of view. “It’s definitely the perfect gadget to play Genshin Impact. It brings the characters and all the fighting to life,” said character cosplayer Anne Gerbest(@the.lunatic.ghost). Another fan who played Genshin Impact with the Odyssey G7 pointed out its standout advantage as “the size”. He said, “because you get so much from the picture on one monitor. I would recommend it to every gamer. G7 is my all-day gaming experience.”

She said, “The graphics are so good, and I feel like I’m inside the game. It’s so much more fun to play my character because you really get to experience the whole world.”

Odyssey 3D Excites Players with New Partnership Expansions

Samsung also expanded its glasses-free Odyssey 3D gaming ecosystem with new content and partnerships. For the first time ever, attendees could play SHIFT UP’s Stellar Blade and Netmarble’s upcoming title, MONGIL: STAR DIVE, in 3D at the Samsung booth^[2].

With Eye Tracking and View Mapping technology, Odyssey 3D adjusts depth effects for each character, background and scene. “This is definitely a brand-new gaming experience for me. The 3D makes the colors pop, and it pulls me into the scene,” said a fan after trying Stellar Blade. Visitors also praised the immersive quality of Odyssey 3D while playing MONGIL: STAR DIVE. “I think it’s one of the best PC monitors I’ve played on,” said fan George Osborn. “It’s just so in-depth, during the battles, they come out of the monitor. It’s just incredible.”

Samsung also announced that the Odyssey 3D Hub will double its library from 28 to over 50 optimised 3D games by the end of the year, including Lies of P: Overture, Stellar Blade and MONGIL: STAR DIVE^[3].

Gamers at the booth also had the opportunity to experience the wide variety of games available on the Samsung Gaming Hub with the OLED S95F Vision AI TV. Available in 55”^[4], 65”, 77”, and 83” sizes, the lineup is designed as the ultimate gaming screen with a 165Hz Motion Xcelerator, NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and Samsung’s QD-OLED^[5] and Glare-free screen technology.

The bold contrast and ultra-smooth performance made  game titles shine at the event. One player, Hendrick Schons, described it as “the ultimate entertainment TV, perfect for my favorite games and the action-packed movies I love to watch.”

From WoW to Crimson Desert: Odyssey OLED Captured Fan Imagination at Partner Booths

Samsung’s largest partnership to date stretched across the show floor. Gamescom 2025 hosted the reveal of World of Warcraft: Midnight, with a new Cinematic trailer and developer panels that unveiled more about the story and systems of the game’s 11th expansion.

At the World of Warcraft booth, fans were able to get their hands on the game’s new House system on more than 80 stations equipped with Odyssey OLED G6. Fans also watched live esports tournaments and showcases, powered by 500Hz ultra-high refresh rate Odyssey OLED G6 monitors directly from the booth’s Community Stage. “It was my first time playing on the Samsung OLED. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for fifteen years, and it’s a really nice [new] feature, and the graphics are really great. I really liked it,” noted Jenny Degreef, a World of Warcraft fan.

Meanwhile, Pearl Abyss previewed its highly anticipated title, Crimson Desert, on approximately 180 Samsung 500Hz Odyssey OLED G6 and 4K 240Hz OLED G8 monitors.

After enjoying Crimson Desert on the Odyssey OLED G6, one gaming fan said, “I was amazed by how clear the graphics were. The environment looked so bright and colorful, and the saturation was amazing.” She added, “I really felt pulled into the game, and it was so much fun to play. I was amazed by the technology and everything about Samsung OLED G6.”

Pearl Abyss’s Hyun Bae Kong explained how Samsung Odyssey OLED monitors bring the Crimson Desert quest to life at the Pearl Abyss booth.

Hyun Bae Kong, Head of Business Development at Pearl Abyss, said: “At Gamescom 2025, we showcased a questline demo of Crimson Desert that really captured the feeling of being on an actual battlefield. With the incredible quality of Samsung OLED monitors, we were able to bring users a realistic and immersive open world. That means a lot to us.”

Samsung’s 2024 Smart Monitor M8, Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor and ViewFinity S8 monitor

Samsung Electronics Singapore today launched its 2024 Odyssey OLED gaming monitor, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity monitor lineups.

These new and updated models bring features that people want — as well as some they don’t expect — to deliver new experiences, no matter how they use their monitors. The Odyssey lineup delivers a next-level OLED experience with new AI capabilities^[1] incorporated into the Odyssey OLED G8; the Smart Monitor lineup heightens joy with enhanced entertainment features along with a new Smart Monitor M8 powered by AI; and the ViewFinity lineup boosts connectivity to create a complete workstation.

“Samsung continues to strengthen our position as the number 1 OLED monitor brand globally with the launch of our 2024 Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor, equipped with groundbreaking AI with burn-in prevention features to enhance the gaming experience. With a diverse range of monitors catering to every use case possible in our 2024 monitor line-ups, including the AI-powered Smart Monitor M8 and updated ViewFinity monitors, we remain committed to delivering the ultimate visual and user experience for everyone, no matter how their use their monitors,” said Jacus Long, Head of Display Business, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Odyssey OLED Series: Visual Excellence with New Burn-In Prevention Features

The 2024 Odyssey OLED models – Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model) – showcase Samsung’s next-generation OLED performance with new and enhanced features.

Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model) gaming monitors now feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+ to prevent burn-in.

The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32” Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time for ultra smooth and responsive gameplay. The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, supporting a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time make it easy for gamers to keep up with fast-moving gameplay.

The new Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor powered by AI. The NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which is the same processor Samsung uses in its 2024 8K TV, upscales content to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub ^[2] and the monitor’s native Smart TV apps for higher resolution in gaming and entertainment.^[3]

Both new OLED models feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a new proprietary burn-in protection technology. This technology is the first in the world to prevent burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor. Additionally, the Dynamic Cooling System evaporates and condenses a coolant to diffuse heat ^[4] , which prevents burn-in by reducing temperature at the core. The monitor also detects static images like logos and taskbars, automatically reducing their brightness to provide another means of burn-in prevention.^[5]

The Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6 both deliver unmatched OLED picture quality with a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.), while FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen lag and screen tearing.

Samsung’s new OLED Glare Free technology^[6] also preserves colour accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to ensure an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimised, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialised hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.

Both monitors feature a super slim metal design that gives them a distinct identity, while Core Lighting+ enhances entertainment and gaming experiences with ambient lighting that synchronises with the screen. The ergonomic stand also makes long gaming sessions more comfortable with adjustable height, tilt and swivel support features.

The launch of the 2024 Odyssey OLED monitors further strengthens Samsung’s OLED monitor market leadership, following soon after Samsung achieved the top position in global sales in the OLED monitor market within only one year of launching its first OLED model.^[7] This achievement underscores Samsung’s rapid ascent in the competitive OLED monitor market while reinforcing its commitment to diversifying its gaming monitor lineup with models that leverage the company’s proprietary OLED technology.

Smart Monitor M8: AI Processing for Crystal Clear Video and Audio

The updated Smart Monitor lineup brings together a complete multi-device experience into one hub for smarter entertainment and greater productivity. The upgraded 2024 models include the M8 (M80D model), M7 (M70D model), and the M5 (M50D model).

Samsung’s Smart Monitor M8 comes with an NQM AI processor that enables upscaling of content to nearly 4K, and background noise analysis to optimise user dialogue in the content through AI.

The upgraded 32” 4K UHD Smart Monitor M8 introduces new features powered by AI with the NQM AI processor, taking entertainment experiences to the next level. AI upscaling brings lower resolution content up to nearly 4K^[8], and Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyse background noise in the user’s environment to optimise dialogue in the user’s content.^[9] 360 Audio Mode^[10] is available on the M8, which pairs with Galaxy Buds to create an immersive sound environment. The built-in SlimFit Camera also makes it easy to conduct video calls through mobile applications with Samsung Dex.^[11]

New to the entire line of Smart Monitors is a Workout Tracker,^[12] which pairs with a Galaxy Watch to enable real-time health data on the screen, even while streaming content. This makes it easier to track workout goals and can make working out more enjoyable.

These new features enhance the already impressive Smart Monitor functionality. Complementing the Smart Monitor are the Smart TV apps and Samsung TV Plus^[13], which provide instant access to a wide range of streaming services and live content, without needing to boot up a PC or connect other devices.^[14]

The M7 is available in 32” and 43” with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 300 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms. The M5 is available in 27” and 32”, with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080), a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms.

ViewFinity Series: Maximising Creativity and Ease of Use

Optimised for creatives and professionals, and built with responsible practices, the latest ViewFinity lineup includes the ViewFinity S8 (S80UD and S80D models) and the ViewFinity S6 (S60UD and S60D models).

Samsung’s ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model) comes in 4k, delivering accurate colour representation along with intelligent features to alleviate eye strain during prolonged work periods.

The updated 2024 ViewFinity monitors^[15] uses a minimum of 10% recycled plastic and does away with the application of chemical sprays to the plastic components.^[16]

The Easy Setup Stand is put together with one quick click, requiring no tools or screws, making it fast and easy to set up and enjoy the ViewFinity’s vibrant display. Every 2024 ViewFinity monitor supports HDR10 and the display of 1 billion colours, ensuring accurate colour representation, while also integrating TÜV-Rheinland-certified Intelligent Eye Care features to alleviate eye strain during prolonged work periods.

The ViewFinity S8 offers 27” and 32” screen options, each with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a refresh rate of 60Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.). They also feature a USB hub for easy connectivity and a height-adjustable stand. The S80UD model includes a new KVM switch for easy connection and switching between two different input devices, as well as a USB-C port that allows users to charge devices with up to 90W of power.
