The very first OLED gaming monitor boasting a 500Hz refresh rate is ready for pre-order. Samsung has started accepting orders for the Odyssey OLED G6 in various Southeast Asian countries. The monitor is priced at SGD 1,488 (€1,024 or £864.27).
Display Features
This 27-inch G60SF screen showcases a 500Hz refresh rate and a response time of just 0.03ms (GTG), along with a QHD (2560 x 1440) QD-OLED panel. It carries the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification at a 10% Average Picture Level (APL), reaching a brightness of 1000 nits and a minimum brightness of 800 nits. Samsung claims that performance was measured at 3% APL with HDR activated, with peak brightness set to “High”.
Color and Compatibility
The panel holds Pantone certification, allowing it to reproduce over 2100 colors, including 110 distinct skin tones from the Pantone library. Additionally, it supports Nvidia’s G-SYNC and AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro, ensuring smooth gameplay across various platforms.
To combat potential burn-ins, Samsung has equipped the monitor with a dynamic cooling system designed to disperse heat, along with a thermal modulation system that adjusts brightness automatically. The monitor can also recognize static images, such as logos or taskbars, and can lower brightness dynamically to prevent burn-in issues.
Visual Performance
With a peak brightness of 1000 nits, the Odyssey OLED G6 employs glare-free technology, minimizing reflections on its surface. Samsung asserts that this monitor “provides vibrant, realistic visuals that immerse gamers in worlds exactly as developers envisioned.”
Initially, the monitor will be launched in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with plans for a wider global release later this year.
