After all Samsung made a 1,100Hz gaming monitor

Samsung introduced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors right this moment at Gamescom, and says that a number of will characteristic “world-first innovations” throughout show speeds and design. This contains the 27-inch Odyssey G6 it initially unveiled in December, which now incorporates a 1,100Hz refresh charge, alongside new OLED Odyssey G9, G8, and G7 updates for 2027.

The Odyssey G6 G60H’s upgraded 1,100Hz closing launch specification is a smidge sooner than the already ridiculous 1,040Hz refresh charge that Samsung introduced it will have at CES 2026. Little has modified in any other case, so that is nonetheless a dual-mode gaming monitor with an IPS-based show and a 1ms response time. That additionally means the ultra-fast refresh charge can solely be achieved at 1080p, although switching to the native 1440p mode nonetheless delivers 600Hz.

The real-world practicality of overkill refresh charges is hotly debated. I can’t fairly fathom why Samsung would hassle giving the G6 one other 60Hz bump within the first place, however maybe the corporate believes you’ll truly see a distinction. That, or 1,100Hz simply sounds braggier in contrast in opposition to LG’s 1,000Hz UltraGear gaming monitor that’s anticipated to ship in September. Samsung hasn’t specified a value or date for the Odyssey G6 launch, however says it’ll be globally accessible by the tip of 2026.

Samsung additionally launched the brand new Odyssey OLED G9, and says it’s the “world’s first 49-inch DQHD gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate.” While the earlier mannequin may solely attain as much as 240Hz, this new G9 ultra-wide has two choices: 360Hz at 5120 x 1440, or a fair sooner 720Hz when switched to the 2560 x 720 twin HD mode. Other notable specs embrace a 0.03ms response time, and a peak brightness of as much as 1,300 nits.

Rounding off the brand new bulletins is the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8, which permits customers to modify between UHD at 360Hz, QHD at 520Hz, and FHD at 680Hz, and the Odyssey OLED G7, which is the “world’s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor,” in accordance with Samsung. The latter incorporates a 4K decision, 165Hz refresh charge, and 1000R curvature, whereas being bigger than the earlier 32-inch G7 mannequin.

Samsung hasn’t introduced any costs or launch dates for the 2027 Odyssey lineup but, however says that availability will range by market.
