When it comes to gaming monitors, a high refresh rate is one of the most important features for competitive gaming. Higher refresh rates can reduce input lag and make gaming more responsive. Samsung has recently launched the world’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, dubbed Odyssey OLED G6. The monitor will be available in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam from May 12, 2025, with more global markets to follow later this year.
Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G6 monitor offers a 500Hz refresh rate to gamers
Samsung has been leading the global gaming monitor market for six years in a row. Now, it has expanded the boundaries of gaming performance by introducing the OLED G6 in its Odyssey monitor lineup.
“Samsung continues to lead the gaming monitor industry with breakthrough innovations that redefine how games are experienced,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the Odyssey OLED G6, the world’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, we are pushing gaming performance, visual quality and immersion to entirely new heights — delivering the next evolution of display technology for gamers around the world.”
The Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model) monitor is available in a 27-inch size with QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution. It uses QD-OLED technology to offer enhanced brightness and a wide range of colours. Since the monitor offers a refresh rate of 500Hz and an ultra-fast 0.03ms response time (GTG), it is capable of delivering smooth and responsive performance even during the most intense action games.
Its VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification ensures that the monitor delivers vivid colors and deep, true blacks. On top of that, it supports NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for ultra-smooth scenes.
Apart from offering top performance, the monitor also features a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. Samsung’s Glare Free technology reduces reflections, allowing gamers to focus solely on the action. OLED Safeguard+ helps to prevent burn-in even during extended use, maintaining visual quality over time.
So, if you are looking for a high refresh rate gaming monitor that can offer a competitive advantage in fast-paced games, Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G6 may be the perfect choice.
