TL;DR: Samsung just announced its 2027 Odyssey monitor lineup at Gamescom. The collection includes four new models.
I didn’t even know human eyes could process 1,100 frames per second, but Samsung is betting they can. At Gamescom this week, the brand announced its 2027 gaming monitor lineup, and the specs are out of control.
According to the official press release, these next-gen monitors were designed for players who want total flexibility in speed and resolution. So, if you’re used to blaming your refresh rate for your stats, Samsung’s about to eliminate your favorite excuse.

Here’s everything we know so far:
-
Odyssey G6 (27-inch): Samsung says the Odyssey G6 is the “world’s first 1,100Hz gaming monitor.” It uses a fast IPS panel with a 1ms response time and lets you toggle between HD at up to 1,100Hz and QHD at up to 600Hz through its Dual Mode.
-
Odyssey OLED G9 (49-inch): If you want a wider field of view, the OLED G9 has a 49-inch Dual QHD monitor, a 360Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time. If you need more speed, you can use the Dual Mode to drop the resolution to Dual HD and push the refresh rate to 720Hz.
-
Odyssey OLED G8 (32-inch): This 4K OLED monitor features Triple Mode, so you can swap between UHD at 360Hz, QHD at 520Hz, or FHD at 680Hz depending on what game you’re playing.
-
Odyssey OLED G7 (42-inch): Samsung claims this is the “world’s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor.” It features a 1000R curve to bring the edges closer to your natural sightline, 4K picture quality, and a 165Hz refresh rate.
Samsung hasn’t announced pricing or release dates for the OLED models just yet, though the 1,100Hz G6 is set to launch globally in the second half of 2026.
