Samsung launches affordable 27-inch Odyssey gaming monitor with 350 Hz refresh rate

Samsung has introduced a new affordable gaming monitor in China, the Odyssey G60F. Unlike the OLED G60SF, which recently launched in the global market, this one comes with a Fast IPS panel. The screen on the newer model is also rated for a lower refresh rate than the former, at 350 Hz instead of 500 Hz.

However, the IPS panel on the Odyssey G60F retains the QHD resolution that's found on the G60SF. Samsung notes that it's rated for 1 ms (GTG) response time, and with support for AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync, it should offer a smooth and responsive gaming experience.

Another notable highlight of this affordable gaming monitor is the 99% sRGB color coverage, and Samsung further notes that it has HDR400 certification. Besides offering bright and vibrant color outputs, these two should make the Odyssey G60F a good pick for professional workloads as well.

The company also says that the base of the included stand is designed with FPS gamers in mind. Its compact design allows users to place their keyboard and mouse close to the monitor, which is something that's very common in esports gaming. The stand also offers multiple adjustability options, including setting the monitor vertically (Huanuo dual monitor stand curr. $59.99 on Amazon).

As for the price, the Samsung Odyssey G60F launched in China with a tag of CNY 2,299, around $322. The company hasn't yet revealed its plan to launch the gaming monitor outside the Chinese market, but it's expected to make a global debut soon.
