Samsung launches 'world's first' gaming monitor with 500Hz refresh rate

In recent years, Samsung has been very active in improving the display field by launching a series of products with many new technologies and highly appreciated performance, such as Odyssey 3D (glasses-free 3D display) or high-end 240Hz 4K OLED display. Today, the Korean technology giant continues to impress when introducing Odyssey OLED G6 - the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming display.

Odyssey OLED G6 has a 27-inch panel coded G60SF, equipped with QD-OLED technology with sharp QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) and super-fast 0.03ms response time.

In addition to the high refresh rate, the Odyssey OLED G6 also integrates many superior features that promise to enhance the gaming experience.

1. Anti-glare reflective layer
2. Anti-burn-in technology protects the OLED panel, especially when playing games for long periods with a static HUD.
3. VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 & Pantone Validation certification ensures color accuracy.
4. Supports NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for a smooth experience with minimal screen tearing.

Speaking about the launch of the new monitor line, Mr. Hoon Chung, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, shared:

With the Odyssey OLED G6 — the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor — we're taking performance, image quality, and immersion to new heights, bringing the next evolution in display technology to gamers worldwide.

The Odyssey OLED G6 will be launched globally, starting with Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia first. Samsung plans to expand to other regions later this year.
