Seeing More of the Action With Odyssey OLED G9<\/p>\n

The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SJ)<\/a> is the world\u2019s first 49-inch Dual QHD gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, giving players a broad view of the action across its ultra-wide screen.<\/p>\n

At Gamescom, the expansive format put game environments, track layouts, maps, and activity at the edges of the screen into view, demonstrating how a wider display can change the way players follow fast-moving gameplay.<\/p>\n

Pulling Worlds Closer With Odyssey OLED G7<\/p>\n

Samsung also unveiled the Odyssey OLED G7 (G75SJ)<\/a>, the world\u2019s first 42-inch 16:9 curved OLED gaming monitor.<\/p>\n

With approximately 72% more screen area than a 32-inch model, the display gives games with detailed environments more room to unfold. Its 1000R curve brings the edges of the screen closer to the player\u2019s line of sight, creating a format suited to games where maps, interfaces, and action extend across the display.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scale and curve of the new Odyssey OLED G7 create a whole new level of immersion. It\u2019s great that Samsung designed the monitor with open-world environments in mind,\u201d said a #PlaySamsung booth visitor.<\/p>\n

More Options for Competitive and Multi-Mode Gaming<\/p>\n

The new Odyssey lineup extends beyond large OLED formats, giving players additional options based on how they play.<\/p>\n

The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SJ)<\/a> gives players three display modes to choose from. Triple Mode supports UHD at up to 360Hz, QHD at up to 520Hz, and FHD at up to 680Hz.<\/p>\n

The 27-inch Odyssey G6 (G60H)<\/a> is the world\u2019s first 1,100Hz gaming monitor. Its Dual Mode lets players choose between QHD at up to 600Hz for sharper detail or HD at up to 1,100Hz for the monitor\u2019s highest refresh-rate setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about Samsung\u2019s emphasis on frame rate. These monitors will be a game changer for competitive gaming,\u201d said a #PlaySamsung booth visitor.<\/p>\n

HDR10+ GAMING Connects Game Development and Display Technology<\/p>\n

During the stage session, Samsung shared plans to expand HDR10+ GAMING support as game developers look for more consistent HDR presentation across compatible displays. As part of this effort, Samsung is working with Activision Blizzard to bring HDR10+ GAMING to its upcoming title, Call of Duty\u00ae: Modern Warfare\u00ae 4.<\/p>\n

Samsung plans to expand HDR10+ GAMING support to more than 20 AAA titles by the first half of 2027. The technology can support brighter highlights, deeper dark scenes, and accurate contrast across different game environments, while reducing the need for players to manually adjust HDR settings before starting a compatible game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an entire ecosystem in gaming, from the developer to the hardware companies. Whenever these companies come together, the product is always going to be the best thing players can get,\u201d said Esfand.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\u25b2 Samsung highlights the future of HDR10+ GAMING during \u201cThe Next Era of Gaming Displays\u201d stage session at Gamescom 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopers want their games to look consistent across different scenes and displays, without requiring players to adjust calibration settings. HDR10+ GAMING gives developers another way to preserve their HDR presentation while helping players see more detail across a range of environments,\u201d said Pepe Dijkstra, Director of the European Visual Organization at Samsung Electronics.<\/p>\n
