Samsung’s new 2026 Odyssey gaming monitor lineup is officially here, and it’s not just about faster refresh rates or better contrast—it’s about redefining what monitors can do. Whether you're into immersive solo RPGs, fast-paced competitive shooters, or high-res content creation, there’s likely something in this five-model lineup that’ll catch your attention.

From the world’s first glasses-free 3D 6K display to a record-breaking 1,040Hz refresh rate, these monitors are anything but ordinary. And as usual, Samsung will give the public a full look during CES 2026, kicking off January 6 in Las Vegas.

Let’s break down what’s new, what’s familiar, and what’s different.

The Odyssey 3D G90XH: 6K and 3D—No Glasses Required

First up, the most eye-catching (literally) product: the Odyssey 3D G90XH. This is a 32-inch 6K monitor that can show 3D visuals without any glasses or headset. It uses real-time eye tracking to create a layered, immersive viewing experience—something that’s been teased in tech for years but is finally making its way into an actual, shipping product.

Samsung says it’s already working with game developers to support the feature. Titles like The First Berserker: Khazan, Lies of P: Overture, and Stellar Blade are among the first that’ll support this mode, with 3D visuals designed to add depth to terrain and objects without affecting core gameplay.

You also don’t have to sacrifice speed to enjoy the 3D mode. The Odyssey 3D runs natively at 6K and 165Hz, and thanks to something Samsung is calling Dual Mode, it can drop down to 3K resolution and ramp up to 330Hz if you want smoother gameplay.

We previously reviewed the Odyssey 3D G90XF—an earlier version of this concept—and gave it our Editor’s Choice Award for its surprisingly effective 3D visuals. It’s clear Samsung is doubling down on that idea for 2026.

The Odyssey G6 G60H: Speed Obsessed

If 3D gaming isn’t your thing and you just want the fastest screen possible, the Odyssey G6 G60H is worth a serious look. This 27-inch QHD monitor is officially the first in the world to hit a 1,040Hz refresh rate (in Dual Mode).

At native resolution, it’s already flying with a 600Hz refresh rate, which is more than enough for even the sweatiest of competitive matches. And yes, it supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync, so gameplay should stay smooth no matter what GPU you’re running.

While most people probably won’t be pushing 1,000+ FPS in their favorite titles, this tech shows where display hardware is headed—and sets a new bar for others to follow.

The Odyssey G8 Line Grows: Pick Your Flavor

Samsung is also expanding its G8 series, offering three new models that vary by resolution, screen size, panel type, and speed. Here’s how they stack up:

• Odyssey G8 G80HS (32-inch): 6K resolution, 165Hz native, and 330Hz in 3K mode with Dual Mode.
• Odyssey G8 G80HF (27-inch): 5K resolution, 180Hz native, 360Hz in QHD with Dual Mode.
• Odyssey OLED G8 G80SH (32-inch): 4K QD-OLED panel with 240Hz refresh rate, a glare-free coating, DisplayHDR True Black 500, and DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) for 80Gbps bandwidth—great for HDR and VRR playback.

Each of these models targets a slightly different use case. The G80HS is clearly made for high-res content creation and immersive gaming. The G80HF balances pixel density and motion clarity. And the OLED G8 is all about deep contrast, rich color, and smooth motion for cinematic visuals.

Last year, we reviewed the Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) and gave it an Editor’s Choice Award, especially praising its HDR performance and OLED quality. The G80SH seems to pick up right where that model left off, with faster refresh and added flexibility for gamers and creators alike.

So, what's Dual Mode? You’ll see Dual Mode mentioned across multiple monitors in this lineup, and here’s what it means: you can switch between a high-resolution mode with a standard refresh rate, or a lower-resolution mode with a significantly higher refresh rate.

For example, on the Odyssey G6, you get 600Hz at QHD—but if you enable Dual Mode, you can boost to 1,040Hz at a lower resolution. Same goes for the 6K Odyssey 3D and G8 monitors, which climb to 330Hz or 360Hz depending on the model.

It’s a tradeoff between resolution and frame rate, and Samsung is making it easier to switch depending on what kind of experience you're after.

All five new monitors support FreeSync Premium (or Pro) and G-Sync Compatible, which helps eliminate screen tearing and stutter during fast movement. That support spans AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, so you’re covered no matter which team you’re on.

The top-end OLED model also gets DisplayPort 2.1 with high-bandwidth video support, making it a good fit for future gaming PCs and content platforms.

As for pricing and availability, that’s still TBD. Samsung says it will reveal pricing and ship dates during CES 2026, so we should know more in just a few days. But given the specs, it’s fair to assume these will land in the high-end range—especially the 6K and 3D-enabled models.

Samsung already leads the global market for high-refresh gaming monitors, with nearly 19% revenue share for displays above 144Hz. And based on the 2026 Odyssey lineup, they’re not looking to give up that lead anytime soon.

Whether you’re chasing frames, craving visual depth, or just want a sharper and faster display, Samsung’s latest Odyssey monitors offer plenty of new tech to explore.

We’ll be covering the new lineup live from CES—stay tuned for hands-on impressions.
