Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the global availability of its latest Odyssey gaming monitors and ViewFinity S8 line-up, setting new benchmarks in resolution and performance across gaming and professional displays.

This launch comes amid Samsung’s continued leadership in the global gaming monitor market, where it holds an 18.9 percent revenue share[1]. The company has also earned the No. 1 position in the OLED gaming monitor market for the third consecutive year with a 26 percent share[2], according to International Data Corporation (IDC).
“With the launch of the latest Odyssey and ViewFinity line-ups, we continue to push the boundaries of performance and visual quality,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With our 2026 line-up, we are delivering our most advanced display technologies yet while expanding access, enabling more users to experience Samsung’s innovations across gaming and professional environments.”
Odyssey G8: Setting a New Standard for High-Performance Gaming
The Odyssey G8 line-up introduces three state-of-the-art models designed to deliver high-performance experiences across a range of gaming scenarios.
The 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS model) sets a new milestone as Samsung’s first 6K gaming monitor, marking a significant leap beyond 4K gaming standards. 6K resolution presents exceptional visual clarity and detail, enhancing immersion while providing expanded screen space for both gaming and multitasking. It delivers ultra-high 6K resolution at 165Hz, while Dual Mode enables up to 330Hz at 3K resolution, allowing users to seamlessly balance immersive visual details with ultra-fast responsiveness.
Meanwhile, the 27-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HF model) offers flexible performance options, supporting 5K resolution at 180Hz or up to 360Hz in QHD through Dual Mode, making it suitable for both immersive and competitive gaming.
The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH model), available in 27-inch and 32-inch sizes, features an OLED panel with 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. Glare Free[3] technology significantly reduces glare without compromising OLED picture quality. Connectivity options, including USB-C with up to 98W charging, support high-performance gaming setups. Moreover, the Odyssey OLED G8 adopts QD-OLED Penta Tandem technology, which significantly enhances efficiency, durability and brightness. The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 also received VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 certification[4], delivering OLED’s deep blacks and vivid colours.
Across the line-up, DisplayPort 2.1[5] ensures high-bandwidth performance for next-generation visuals, while AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible technology deliver smooth, tear-free gameplay. Additionally, the Odyssey G8 line-up features HDR10+ GAMING,[6] which dynamically optimises brightness and contrast in real time.
Odyssey G7: Expanding Access to OLED Gaming
The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH model) expands Samsung’s OLED gaming line-up by bringing premium visual performance to a wider range of users.
It features 4K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, delivering detailed visuals and smooth gameplay. Dual Mode enables up to 330Hz in FHD, while a 0.03ms response time supports fast, responsive performance in competitive gaming environments.
With the addition of the G7, Samsung continues to extend its OLED gaming leadership while making advanced display technologies more widely accessible.
ViewFinity S8: High-Resolution Displays for Professional Workflows
The ViewFinity S8 line-up is designed to meet the demands of modern professional environments, combining high-resolution clarity with advanced connectivity and ergonomic flexibility. Whether managing complex creative workflows or seamlessly multitasking across applications, these monitors are engineered to deliver a refined, high-performance experience that maximises productivity.
The 40-inch ViewFinity S8 (S85TH model) features a curved WUHD display with a 144Hz refresh rate, enabling seamless multitasking and efficient handling of complex workflows. Thunderbolt 5 supports high-resolution video and data-intensive tasks with data transfer speeds of 80 Gbps and device charging up to 140W. In addition, Easy Connection provides streamlined connectivity across devices.
The 27-inch ViewFinity S8 (S80HF model) which will be available in July, offers 5K resolution with USB-C connectivity for streamlined data transfer and device charging. Its ergonomic design supports comfortable long-term use, and, since it is made to deliver 5K resolution in a more accessible package, it brings high-resolution performance to a broader range of professional users.
