Samsung Electronics has announced its 2026 Odyssey gaming monitor lineup, introducing five new models focused on higher resolutions, faster refresh rates, and immersive display technologies. The lineup includes Samsung’s first 6K glasses-free 3D gaming monitor, a new high-refresh-rate Odyssey G6, and three Odyssey G8 models spanning 6K, 5K, and OLED display options.
Odyssey 3D: 6K glasses-free 3D gaming monitor
The 32-inch Odyssey 3D (G90XH) is the world’s first gaming monitor to feature a 6K resolution display with glasses-free 3D viewing. The monitor uses real-time eye-tracking technology to adjust depth and perspective based on the viewer’s position, enabling a 3D viewing experience without the need for a headset.
It supports a 165Hz refresh rate, which can be boosted to 330Hz using Dual Mode, along with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time. Samsung says supported PC games will feature optimized 3D effects developed in collaboration with game studios.
Supported titles include The First Berserker: Khazan, Lies of P: Overture, and Stellar Blade, offering enhanced depth perception, distance rendering, and object separation compared to standard 2D gameplay.
