Samsung’s latest monitor rollout is starting to draw global attention for one clear reason: the company is pushing a 6K gaming model that is hard to overlook. Rather than releasing a single flagship and filling in the rest later, Samsung is spreading the new lineup across several categories at once.
That broader approach now includes gaming, premium OLED, productivity, and smart monitor options. The monitors have begun appearing in markets including Europe, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States after first being shown at CES 2026.
Gaming leads the lineup
The most eye-catching part of the launch is the Odyssey family, which carries the strongest specifications for players. Samsung is pairing high-resolution IPS LCD options with fast QD-OLED models to target users who want both clarity and speed.
At the center of that effort is the Odyssey G8 32-inch G80HS, described as the world’s first 6K gaming monitor. It uses a 32-inch IPS LCD panel with 224ppi density and supports up to 165Hz, while Dual Mode allows it to switch to 3K for refresh rates as high as 330Hz.
Samsung also has the 27-inch Odyssey G8 G80HF in the mix. This model is a 5K IPS LCD gaming monitor with 218ppi density, a refresh rate of up to 180Hz, and support for 360Hz when running at QHD resolution.
OLED options focus on speed and response
For users who prefer OLED, Samsung has prepared several Odyssey models with QD-OLED panels. One of them is the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 G73SH, which supports 4K at up to 165Hz natively and can reach 330Hz at Full HD.
The same model also carries a 0.03 ms response time. That specification underlines Samsung’s focus on fast-motion gaming where reaction speed matters.
Samsung has also expanded the Odyssey OLED G8 series with 27-inch and 32-inch versions. Both use Samsung Display’s Penta Tandem QD-OLED structure, deliver 4K resolution, and support refresh rates of up to 240Hz.
The 27-inch model, LS27HG802SEXXS, includes AMD FreeSync Premium, Nvidia G-Sync Compatible support, and a USB Type-C port with up to 98W USB Power Delivery. The 32-inch LS32HG802SEXXS keeps the same combination of QD-OLED Penta Tandem panel, 4K resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium, G-Sync Compatible support, and USB Type-C charging at up to 98W.
Productivity models widen the reach
Samsung is not limiting the launch to gamers. The ViewFinity S8 line is also expanding for professional users and home office setups.
The 27-inch ViewFinity S8 S80HF offers a 5K IPS LCD panel and USB Type-C connectivity. That makes it suitable for laptop users and modern workstation setups.
A larger 40-inch ViewFinity S8 S85HF goes in a different direction with a curved IPS LCD panel and WUHD resolution. It also supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which gives it smoother motion than a typical productivity display.
Samsung adds Thunderbolt 5 to that 40-inch model as well. The company says data transfer can reach 80Gbps, and compatible devices such as laptops can receive fast charging at up to 140W.
A smarter monitor for flexible use
The Movingstyle Essential takes a different path from the rest of the lineup. Samsung designed it for easy movement between rooms, helped by a built-in handle at the top of the monitor.
For now, that family consists of a single model: the 43-inch The Movingstyle Essential. It is a 4K smart monitor based on an IPS LCD panel and comes with a rolling floor stand that can be adjusted in height.
The monitor runs One UI Tizen, giving users direct access to popular music and video streaming apps on the screen. Samsung also includes Gaming Hub and SmartThings Hub to expand entertainment and smart-home connectivity.
Other features include a remote control in the box, AirPlay 2, Multi Control, Smart View, two HDMI ports, and one USB Type-C port with charging support.
Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business, said the company continues to push performance and visual quality while widening access to Samsung innovation for more users in both gaming and professional environments. The global rollout across Europe, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States shows that Samsung is targeting gamers, professionals, and casual users with clearly separated monitor lines built for different needs.
