3D Without Glasses, Guided by Your Eyes

Samsung's next Odyssey 3D G90XH is a 32-inch monitor that shows 3D pictures without glasses. A camera watches where your eyes move and shifts the picture so the depth always looks right. The panel runs at 6K plus already works with games like “Stellar Blade” and “Lies of P - Overture.” Older Samsung 3D screens stopped at 4K - the jump to 6K plus eye guided perspective gives players a sharper and more personal view.

1,040 Hz for the Fastest Play

The Odyssey G6 G60H claims the first 1,040 Hz refresh rate on any gaming monitor, though that speed is only in HD. At its native 1440p the panel still reaches 600 Hz, a rate built for players who win or lose on millisecond reactions. AMD FreeSync Premium besides NVIDIA G-Sync both run on the screen - frames arrive without tear or stutter. By moving the speed limit far past the usual 240 Hz or 360 Hz, Samsung targets esports pros who need every advantage.

6K but also 5K Become Common Choices

Every 2026 Odyssey model ships with far more pixels than today's standard 1440p. The 32-inch G80HS gives native 6K and drops to 3K when you want 330 Hz. The 27-inch G80HF gives native 5K and drops to 1440p when you want 360 Hz. Those panels protect the purchase against games that will demand higher detail for years. Rivals from Asus, Dell or LG rarely combine such pixel counts with those refresh rates - Samsung positions itself at the top of both the sharpness as well as speed charts.

OLED Panels With Cinema-Grade Black

The Odyssey G8 line now includes a 4K OLED panel that refreshes 240 times per second. It peaks at 300 nits and meets the True Black 500 standard - shadows stay inky while colors stay vivid. OLED pixels switch off completely giving both high contrast and almost instant response, a pairing that benefits competitive play or movie watching alike. The badge shows Samsung's promise to meet strict image quality tests.

Games and GPUs Work Out of the Box

Samsung tunes chosen titles for the Odyssey 3D mode but many other games still gain depth automatically. The whole range carries FreeSync Premium Pro next to G-Sync badges - an AMD or NVIDIA card will run without screen tear. Owners do not need to pick a side - the monitor adapts when they swap cards or use both brands across machines leaving the upgrade path open.
