What Samsung announced
At CES and in its 2026 lineup reveal, Samsung expanded the Odyssey family with new high-resolution and ultra-fast-refresh models focused on gaming performance and novel displays.
Odyssey 3D G90XH: 6K, glasses-free 3D
The headline model is the Odyssey 3D G90XH — Samsung’s first 6K monitor with glasses-free 3D effects. The 32-inch IPS panel uses real-time eye-tracking to adjust depth and perspective based on your position.
Native refresh is 165Hz, and Samsung’s Dual Mode lets you switch to a 3K mode that doubles the refresh rate to 330Hz for competitive play.
Games and compatibility
Samsung says select titles are optimized for the 3D experience, including Stellar Blade, Lies of P: Overture, and The First Berserker: Khazan. Other supported games include Black Myth: Wukong, Hogwarts Legacy, Palworld, and Silent Hill 2.
Odyssey G6 G60H: pushing refresh limits
The 27-inch Odyssey G6 G60H aims for an extreme niche: up to 1,040Hz in HD, billed as a world first. At its native 1440p it can reach up to 600Hz.
The model supports adaptive-sync technologies — AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync — to reduce tearing and latency.
New Odyssey G8 models and OLED
Samsung also introduced three G8 variants: a 32-inch G80HS with 6K at up to 165Hz (or 330Hz at 3K), a 27-inch 5K G80HF rated up to 180Hz (or 360Hz at 1440p), and a 4K OLED G8 with up to 240Hz and True Black 500 certification.
What’s missing and timing
Samsung has not disclosed pricing or release dates for any 2026 Odyssey models. Given past pricing — the earlier 4K Odyssey 3D carried a roughly $2,000 tag — expect flagship 6K models to be costly.
Why this matters
Samsung’s push blends higher resolutions and novel glasses-free 3D with extreme refresh rates, targeting both immersive single-player experiences and competitive gamers who prioritize frame rates.
If you’re building a high-end gaming or creative setup, the new Odyssey family signals that display innovation (6K, eye-tracked 3D, and 1,040Hz panels) will be a major focus in 2026.
