Samsung has announced its 2027 Odyssey gaming monitor lineup at Gamescom 2026, being held in Cologne, Germany from August 26 to 30. The lineup includes the Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SJ), OLED G8 (G80SJ), OLED G7 (G75SJ) and Odyssey G6 (G60H), with different screen sizes, resolutions, refresh rates and display modes.
Odyssey OLED G9
The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SJ) is a 49-inch DQHD gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate and is the world’s first 49-inch DQHD gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, according to Samsung. It uses a fifth-generation QD-OLED panel with Penta Tandem technology and a five-layer structure that is up to 1.3 times more efficient and offers up to twice the lifetime of the previous generation.
The monitor also uses an RGB Stripe sub-pixel layout to reduce color fringing and support clearer text. It has a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits on a 3% window at 4K resolution and a 0.03ms GtG response time.
Its Dual Mode supports:
- DQHD (5120 × 1440) at 360Hz
- Dual HD (2560 × 720) at up to 720Hz
Odyssey OLED G8
The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SJ) is a 32-inch UHD OLED gaming monitor with a fifth-generation QD-OLED panel, Penta Tandem technology and RGB Stripe subpixels. It supports up to 360Hz and Triple Mode with three configurations:
- UHD at 360Hz

- FHD at 680Hz
The monitor has a 0.03ms GtG response time, VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 600, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible support. Samsung Glare Free technology uses a film that is 54% less glossy than conventional anti-reflection film to reduce external reflections.
Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 port, two HDMI ports, one USB-C port with 98W Power Delivery, a USB hub with two downstream ports and KVM support.

It features 1000R curvature with a 1,000mm radius, 4K OLED resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms GtG response time. Samsung says the curved display brings the edges closer to the player’s line of sight and positions the monitor for RPG and open-world games. It also features Glare Free technology to reduce reflections from external light sources.
