Samsung Electronics has officially launched the Odyssey OLED G6, the world’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, taking competitive gaming to an entirely new level. The 27-inch monitor is now available in select Asian markets including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with a global rollout planned for later in the year.

With this release, Samsung continues to strengthen its leadership in the gaming monitor space, expanding on its six-year dominance in the global gaming monitor market and two-year reign in OLED gaming displays.


Pushing the Limits of Gaming Performance

The Odyssey OLED G6 (Model: G60SF) delivers cutting-edge performance that is tailored for competitive and professional gamers. With a 500Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms (GTG) response time, and QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, the display offers stunning speed and clarity that minimizes motion blur and input lag—ideal for fast-paced titles like shooters and racing games.

At the core of this experience is Samsung’s QD-OLED technology, which combines quantum dots with OLED to deliver vibrant colors, deep contrast, and incredible detail.


Vivid, Smooth, and Responsive Visuals

Gamers can expect crystal-clear visuals supported by VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technologies. This ensures tear-free gameplay and smooth frame transitions during the most intense sequences.

The peak brightness of 1,000 nits, combined with Samsung’s Glare-Free coating, keeps reflections at bay and allows users to stay focused in any lighting condition.


Built for Long Gaming Sessions

Designed with extended use in mind, the Odyssey OLED G6 comes equipped with OLED Safeguard+, a proprietary feature that helps reduce the risk of burn-in, making it suitable for long, immersive play sessions.

Additionally, the monitor is Pantone Validated, capable of reproducing over 2,100 Pantone colors and more than 110 SkinTone shades, providing a high degree of color accuracy for creators and gamers alike.


A New Era of Immersive Gaming

According to Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display at Samsung Electronics, “With the Odyssey OLED G6, the world’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, we are pushing gaming performance, visual quality, and immersion to entirely new heights—delivering the next evolution of display technology for gamers around the world.”


Final Thoughts

The Odyssey OLED G6 sets a new standard in gaming display performance. Its unmatched speed, brilliant color fidelity, and gamer-centric features make it an essential upgrade for serious players looking to gain an edge.

Keep an eye out for its availability in more regions as Samsung expands the global rollout later this year.
