Overview
- Samsung unveiled the four‑model Odyssey 2027 family at Gamescom on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
- The 27‑inch Odyssey G6 (G60H) is finalized at a dual‑mode 600Hz at native QHD or 1,100Hz at 720p, and Samsung says it will be available globally in the second half of 2026.
- Three OLED models were introduced for 2027: a 49-inch DQHD G9 (360Hz native, 720Hz at lower res), a 32‑inch G8 with triple‑mode 4K/360Hz, QHD/520Hz and FHD/680Hz, and a 42‑inch curved 4K G7 at 165Hz.
- Samsung also announced an HDR10+ Gaming partnership with Activision Blizzard to add HDR10+ to about 20 AAA titles by the first half of 2027, starting with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
- Reviewers note major open questions for buyers: exploiting top refresh rates needs compatible GPUs and drivers, DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 bandwidth and game‑engine support, OLED peak‑brightness caveats and burn‑in mitigation, and final prices and certifications are still pending.
