Samsung Electronics America has officially unveiled the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF), marking a new milestone in gaming technology as the world’s first OLED monitor to feature a 500Hz refresh rate. The 27-inch QHD display is now available for purchase in the United States, alongside two new curved additions to the Odyssey G7 series — a 37-inch and a 40-inch model.
Originally showcased at CES 2025 and later launched in select Asian countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, the Odyssey OLED G6 is now entering the US market to cater to competitive gamers seeking unmatched speed and visual performance.
At the heart of the Odyssey OLED G6 is its 500Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 0.03ms response time, delivering buttery-smooth visuals and lightning-quick reactions — crucial for competitive play. The monitor’s QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution is powered by advanced QD-OLED technology, offering vibrant colors and sharp detail.
To ensure tear-free gameplay, the G6 supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, making it compatible with a wide range of gaming setups. The display also carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, ensuring deep blacks and high-contrast visuals for immersive gaming experiences.
Understanding the concerns of prolonged gaming sessions, Samsung has introduced OLED Safeguard+. This system combines a Pulsating Heat Pipe cooling solution, brightness modulation algorithms, screen savers, and logo detection to minimize the risk of burn-in. Importantly, Samsung backs the monitor with a three-year warranty, covering burn-in under normal usage — a strong reassurance for buyers.
The Odyssey OLED G6 is Pantone Validated, supporting 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, over 2,100 Pantone-certified colors, and more than 110 SkinTone shades for realistic color reproduction. Samsung has also added Glare Free technology to reduce reflections, ensuring comfortable viewing in different lighting environments.
The monitor features a slim metal frame and a fully adjustable stand with tilt, height, pivot, and swivel options for ergonomic setups. Samsung’s CoreSync and CoreLighting+ extend in-game lighting effects beyond the screen, adding extra atmosphere to gaming environments.
On the connectivity front, the Odyssey OLED G6 offers:
While it lacks built-in speakers and a USB-C port, it caters strongly to gamers who typically rely on dedicated audio setups and high-speed display connections.
The launch of the Odyssey OLED G6 reinforces Samsung’s position in the high-end gaming monitor market, offering a product designed for gamers who demand ultra-high refresh rates, premium display quality, and advanced OLED protection features.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 is now available for purchase through Samsung.com, marking another step in Samsung’s strategy to dominate the high-end gaming monitor segment. With its unprecedented 500Hz refresh rate and OLED clarity, the G6 is set to be a dream display for competitive gamers in the US market.
