Overview

  • The Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) features a 27-inch QD-OLED panel with 2560×1440 resolution, a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time, HDR certifications and compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium Plus and NVIDIA G-Sync.
  • Achieving a 500 Hz refresh rate relies on DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression, which preserves bandwidth at the cost of some full-screen brightness.
  • Samsung’s U.S. rollout prices the Odyssey OLED G6 at $999.99 through its online store alongside two curved Odyssey G7 models.
  • The expanded G7 series includes a 37-inch 4K/165 Hz model for about $899.99 and a 40-inch 5K2K/180 Hz option at approximately $1,199.99.
  • The G6 deploys Safeguard+ technology—combining liquid-cooling heat pipes, dynamic image analysis and automatic brightness adjustments—and is backed by a three-year warranty.
