Samsung has introduced a brand new Odyssey gaming monitor lineup, featuring five new high-end monitors, bringing leading specs and features for enthusiasts.

The new lineup brings one model in the Odyssey G9, one in the Odyssey G6, and three in the Odyssey G8 series.
From the industry’s first 6K glasses-free 3D monitor to breakthrough 1,040Hz speed, we designed these monitors to meet the ambitions of today’s gamers and deliver a level of immersion that fundamentally changes how content looks and functions on screen.
