All of the three latest Samsung Odyssey OLED 2024 gaming monitors feature two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB hub, and a DisplayPort 1.4 input. The exclusion of DisplayPort 2.1 is a bummer but it looks like we have to wait a bit more to get those updated designs later this year. The monitors also support VESA mount compatibility and a height-adjustable stand (HAS) that features tilt, swivel, and pivot control points
Another feature to highlight about the Samsung Odyssey OLED 2024 gaming monitor lineup is that all three models (G9, G8, G6) feature Core Lighting+ technology that emits ambient light from the back of the monitor, giving you a more immersive experience while gaming or watching movies. As for pricing and availability, those haven't been disclosed yet but we will provide an update as soon as we have more information.
