Samsung To Spotlight 2027 Odyssey Lineup at Gamescom 2026

Samsung presented the 2027 Odyssey lineup for the first time during its dedicated Gamescom 2026 session, “#PlaySamsung: The Next Era of Gaming Displays.” The session explored 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) was unveiled on stage, while the Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SJ model) and Odyssey G6 (G60H model) were introduced on-screen during the keynote.

As a part of the session, Samsung also spotlighted 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 colour 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 also showcased its expanding Odyssey 3D game support, developed through direct collaboration with game studios. New supported titles, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Cronos: The New Dawn, were 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 colour 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.

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
