Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors are so high specced they could be overkill

Samsung has unveiled a trio of cutting-edge Odyssey gaming monitors at CES 2025, featuring groundbreaking specifications that are turning heads. The lead monitor, the 2025 Odyssey OLED G8, is the first 27-inch OLED display with a 4K resolution, boasting a refresh rate of 240Hz. For those seeking even faster performance, the new Odyssey OLED G6 offers an astonishing 500Hz refresh rate, albeit at a QHD resolution.

Despite the impressive specs, questions loom over the necessity of such high-end displays in the gaming world, especially considering the current challenges in achieving native 4K resolution at high frame rates. The Odyssey G7, on the other hand, presents a more practical 5K resolution on a larger 40-inch panel, catering to users craving sharp images on a sizable display.

While the specifics of pricing and release dates remain undisclosed by Samsung, these new Odyssey monitors are expected to come with a hefty price tag. Gamers on the lookout for top-tier display technology should stay tuned for updates on these innovative gaming monitors.
