Of course Samsung made a 1,100Hz gaming monitor

Samsung announced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors coming astatine Gamescom, and says that respective will characteristic “world-first innovations” crossed show speeds and design. This includes the 27-inch Odyssey G6 it initially unveiled successful December, which now features a 1,100Hz refresh rate, alongside caller OLED Odyssey G9, G8, and G7 updates for 2027.

The Odyssey G6 G60H’s upgraded 1,100Hz last motorboat specification is simply a smidge faster than the already ridiculous 1,040Hz refresh rate that Samsung announced it would person astatine CES 2026. Little has changed otherwise, truthful this is still a dual-mode gaming show pinch an IPS-based show and a 1ms consequence time. That besides intends the ultra-fast refresh complaint tin only beryllium achieved astatine 1080p, though switching to the autochthonal 1440p mode still delivers 600Hz.

The real-world practicality of overkill refresh rates is hotly debated. I can’t rather fathom why Samsung would fuss giving the G6 different 60Hz bump successful the first place, but possibly the institution believes you’ll really spot a difference. That, aliases 1,100Hz conscionable sounds braggier compared against LG’s 1,000Hz UltraGear gaming monitor that’s expected to ship successful September. Samsung hasn’t specified a value aliases day for the Odyssey G6 launch, but says it’ll beryllium globally disposable by the extremity of 2026.

Samsung besides introduced the caller Odyssey OLED G9, and says it’s the “world’s first 49-inch DQHD gaming show pinch a 360Hz refresh rate.” While the previous model could only scope up to 240Hz, this caller G9 ultra-wide has 2 options: 360Hz astatine 5120 x 1440, aliases an moreover faster 720Hz erstwhile switched to the 2560 x 720 dual HD mode. Other notable specs see a 0.03ms consequence time, and a highest brightness of up to 1,300 nits.

Rounding disconnected the caller announcements is the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8, which allows users to move betwixt UHD astatine 360Hz, QHD astatine 520Hz, and FHD astatine 680Hz, and the Odyssey OLED G7, which is the “world’s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor,” according to Samsung. The second features a 4K resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 1000R curvature, while being larger than the erstwhile 32-inch G7 model.

Samsung hasn’t announced immoderate prices aliases motorboat dates for the 2027 Odyssey lineup yet, but says that readiness will alteration by market.
