Samsung Unveils Groundbreaking 27-Inch 4K OLED Gaming Monitor!

Prior to the formal commencement of CES, Samsung has revealed a trio of new Odyssey gaming monitors. Among them, the G81SF stands out as the most intriguing. Samsung claims it is the first 4K, 27-inch OLED gaming display. This panel boasts a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms gray-to-gray pixel response time.

With its 4K resolution and 27 inches in size, pixel density is clocked at 165 pixels per inch, suggesting the G81SF is capable of delivering an exceptionally crisp image. Given that Samsung is the primary provider of QD-OLEDs, it is very likely that the G81SF’s panel will be utilized in other gaming monitors released this year. As CES 2025 approaches, several of these could be revealed as soon as within the next few days.

If you prefer motion clarity alongside sharpness, Samsung has a solution for that too. The second newly unveiled Odyssey gaming monitor, known as the G60SF, features a 500Hz refresh rate. Although the resolution is constrained to 2,560 x 1,440 on this model, both the G6 and the G8 mentioned previously will provide VESA True Black 400-certified HDR performance, ensuring that the G60SF remains excellent for single-player experiences and exceptional for competitive games like Overwatch 2 and Valorant, aided by that impressive 500Hz refresh rate.

Completing the fresh Odyssey monitors that Samsung introduced today is somewhat of a novelty and a blast from CES’s past. The 27-inch G90XF features a lenticular lens affixed to the front of its screen and a stereo camera, allowing viewers to enjoy 3D content without the necessity of 3D glasses. The G90XF is equipped with AI software that Samsung claims can transform 2D videos into 3D, although if we had to speculate, the resulting visuals may not be impressive.

For those who mainly utilize their computer for productivity tasks, Samsung hasn’t overlooked you, and the company’s new offerings are equally fascinating. First up is the Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF). It sports a 32-inch 4K OLED display that provides True Black 400 HDR performance. Additionally, it comes with Samsung’s space-efficient Easy Setup Stand. However, what distinguishes the M90SF from all the other monitors announced today are a couple of included AI features. The first, termed AI Picture Optimizer, evaluates the input signal from your PC to automatically adjust the M9’s display settings for optimal image quality based on the content being viewed, whether it be a game, film, or productivity application. The second feature can upscale lower-resolution content to 4K.

Lastly, there’s the ViewFinity S8. Although it’s not an OLED, at 37 inches, it represents the largest 16:9 4K display Samsung has ever created. It provides 99 percent sRGB color gamut coverage, a built-in KVM switch, and 90W USB-C power delivery. While it may not be the most thrilling monitor in Samsung’s new series, it should attract design professionals seeking a sizable screen without the issues of line distortion associated with ultrawide displays.

Samsung has not yet disclosed pricing nor availability details for any of the monitors revealed today. Anticipate those specifics to be released sometime following CES.
