Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF Model)
The standout feature of Samsung’s Odyssey Series is the launch of the Odyssey OLED G8. This 27-inch 4K OLED monitor marks a major leap in gaming and content creation. With a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and a stunning 240Hz refresh rate, the G8 promises ultra-smooth performance for high-speed gaming and creative work. Offering 165 pixels per inch (PPI), Samsung says the monitor delivers lifelike visuals, providing an immersive experience for gamers and creators alike.
In addition to its impressive specifications, the Odyssey OLED G8 features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support and is also NVIDIA G-Sync compatible, ensuring smoother visuals with minimal tearing and flickering. The Glare Free screen technology reduces distracting reflections, allowing users to focus entirely on their screen without distractions from ambient lighting.
Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model)
For those who crave even faster performance, Samsung unveiled the Odyssey OLED G6, which boasts the world’s first OLED panel with a jaw-dropping 500Hz refresh rate. This QHD monitor (2,560 x 1,440 resolution) ensures an even smoother gaming experience, offering both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync support. The enhanced refresh rate and resolution make it a dream for high-level competitive gaming and fast-paced action.
Odyssey 3D gaming monitor (G90XF model)

Samsung smart monitor M9: AI-powered innovation
The Smart Monitor M9 is another highlight of Samsung’s CES 2025 announcements. The M90SF model is the first monitor to integrate on-device artificial intelligence (AI). Samsung’s AI Picture Optimiser automatically adjusts the display settings based on the type of content being viewed, whether it’s movies, photos, or games. For gamers, the AI can detect the genre of the game and optimise the display for the best possible experience. Additionally, the monitor comes with 4K AI Upscaling Pro technology, which enhances lower-resolution content to near 4K quality, providing sharper visuals.
The Smart Monitor M9 features a 32-inch OLED screen with 4K resolution, delivering vibrant colours and deep contrasts thanks to VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400. Additionally, it comes with a built-in 4K camera, enhancing video conferencing and content creation capabilities.
