Samsung’s first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor is here

before The official start of CESSamsung has it Announce A trio of new gaming monitors from Odyssey. Of the bunch, the G81SF is the most interesting. Samsung says it’s the first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor. The panel features a 240Hz refresh rate and a gray-to-gray pixel response time of 0.03ms.

At 4K and 27 inches, the pixel density reaches 165 pixels per inch, which means the G81SF should produce an incredibly sharp image. Since Samsung is a major supplier of QD-OLED displays, the G81SF panel will almost certainly make its way into other gaming monitors released this year. With CES 2025 just around the corner, some of these things could be announced as early as the next few days.

If you don’t want to sacrifice motion clarity for sharpness, Samsung has you covered as well. The second new Odyssey gaming monitor announced by the company, the G60SF, features a 500Hz refresh rate. Resolution is limited to 2560 x 1440 on this model, but both the G6 and G8 detailed above will offer VESA True Black 400-certified HDR performance, so the G60SF will still be great for single-player gaming and exceptional for competitive games like Monitoring 2 and braveThanks to the 500 Hz refresh rate.

Rounding out the new Odyssey displays Samsung announced today is something of a curio and a CES throwback. The 27-inch G90XF has a lenticular lens attached to the front of the panel and a stereo camera, which means you can use it to watch 3D content without wearing 3D glasses. The G90XF includes AI software that Samsung says can convert 2D video to 3D, but if we had to guess, the resulting footage won’t look great.

If you use your computer primarily for productivity, Samsung hasn’t forgotten about you, and the company’s new offerings here are no less interesting. First, there’s the Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF). It features a 32-inch 4K OLED panel that delivers True Black 400 HDR performance. It also comes with Samsung’s space-saving Easy Setup Stand, but what separates the M90SF from all the other monitors Samsung announced today are the two AI features included with it. The first, called AI Picture Optimizer, analyzes the input signal from your computer to automatically adjust the M9’s display settings to produce the best possible picture for the content you’re consuming, whether that’s a game, movie or productivity app. The other feature can upscale low-resolution content to 4K.

Finally, there’s the ViewFinity S8. It’s not an OLED display, but at 37 inches, it’s the largest 16:9 4K display Samsung has ever offered. It offers 99 percent sRGB color gamut coverage, a built-in KVM switch, and 90W USB-C power delivery. It’s not the most exciting screen in Samsung’s new lineup, but it should appeal to design geeks who want the largest possible screen but prefer not to deal with the line distortion caused by an ultra-wide screen.

Samsung did not share pricing and availability information for any of the screens it announced today. We expect these details to come sometime after CES.
