Samsung launches first Odyssey 6K gaming monitor with 165 Hz refresh rate, updates Odyssey OLED, ViewFinity, and Movingstyle lineup

Samsung has updated its Odyssey gaming monitor lineup with several new options for 2026, including an industry-first 6K offering. The full lineup includes two Odyssey G8 models, updated Odyssey OLED G7 and OLED G8, updated ViewFinity S8 models, and a new Movingstyle Essential monitor.

Samsung Odyssey G8 (G80HS) and G7 (G80HF)

The Odyssey G8 is being touted as the industry’s first 6K IPS gaming monitor at 32 inches. This means a resolution of 6,144 x 3,456 pixels with 224 ppi pixel density. At this resolution, the monitor is capped at 165 Hz, but with Dual Mode, the resolution can be switched to 3K (3,072 x 1,728) for a much faster 330 Hz refresh rate. It has an advertised 400 nits peak brightness with support for HDR10, HDR10+ Gaming, Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, and AMD FreeSync Premium.

The G7 (G80HF) is the 27-inch model and comes with 5K (5,120 x 2,880) resolution. With 219 ppi pixel density, it can reach up to 180 Hz or double that to 360 Hz with QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution. The rest of the feature set is the same as the G80HS.

Samsung Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH) and G8 (G80SH)

The 32-inch G73SH is a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution monitor with up to 165 Hz, and up to 330 Hz at full-HD (1,920 x 1,080). The OLED panel gives it 0.03 ms GtG response time, and it has a claimed 1,300 nits of peak brightness. Samsung also says it is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified and supports HDR10+/ HDR10+ Gaming.

The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH) comes in 27-inch and 32-inch options with 4K resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate. They have a claimed peak brightness of 1,000 nits along with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, HDR10+ Gaming, FreeSync Premium Pro support, but no G-Sync compatibility.

Samsung ViewFinity S8 S85TH and S80HF

S85TH is the 40-inch curved productivity-focussed monitor with a 5K2K (5,120 x 2,160) resolution and up to 144 Hz refresh rate. It is a VA panel with 4 ms GTG response time and an advertised 350 nits typical brightness, so it’s not going to be the fastest panel, though you could still comfortably game on it. However, the productivity-focused workflow is enabled by the Thunderbolt 5 port with 80 Gbps data transfer and up to 140W charging. There is also a KVM switch.

The 27-inch flat S80HF model features 5K (5,120 x 2,880) resolution, a 60 HZ refresh rate, 5 ms GTG response time, and a cut-down set of the connectivity options that skip the Thunderbolt 5 port.

Samsung Movingstyle Essential monitor

The new Movingstyle Essential monitor is a 43-inch 4K panel, an upgrade over the 27-inch and 32-inch options previously available. Like with previous models, the new offering comes with a movable stand that has height adjustment, pivot, swivel, and tilt. Not a lot of information is currently available about this particular model.

Samsung 2026 monitors pricing and availability

Samsung has not shared pricing for the new Odyssey G8 lineup, Odyssey G7, and ViewFinity S8 but says they are already available, though the US listings haven’t gone up yet (at the time of publishing). The Movingstyle Essential will be available later.
