Samsung has officially introduced its flagship 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF monitor, showcasing an impressive refresh rate of 500Hz, making it a top choice for avid gamers and professionals alike. Although MSI previously launched a 500Hz OLED model noted for its 1440p resolution, Samsung’s offering is marketed as the first to be commercially available, as they bring this technology to retail.

This combination results in an astonishing contrast ratio of 1M:1 and an ultra-responsive response time of just 0.03ms. The monitor proudly holds a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and can reach peak brightness levels of up to 1, 000 nits in HDR mode, complemented by Samsung’s innovative Glare Free technology to reduce eye strain.

This monitor is packed with features designed to elevate the gaming experience, including Flicker Free technology and Black Equalizer to improve visual clarity in dark scenes. Additionally, it supports FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, effectively minimizing screen tearing for a smoother gaming experience. It is worth noting that the monitor utilizes the older DisplayPort 1.4, which, while sufficient for 32 Gbps bandwidth, would greatly benefit from the capabilities of the more modern DisplayPort 2.1 for uncompressed visuals.
