You know CES is right around the corner when tech companies announce a whole bunch of new TVs and monitors. Ahead of CES 2026, Samsung has dropped details on five new Odyssey gaming monitors, each worth considering if you’re looking for certain features to up your immersion level.
Chief among the family of new monitors is the new G90XH 32-inch Odyssey 3D. This is a much larger and higher-resolution version of the G90XF 27-inch glasses-free 3D gaming monitor that Gizmodo’s Kyle Barr reviewed back in May. This new model has a higher 6K resolution (6,144 x 3,456), compared to the previous 4K. For stereoscopic 3D gaming, more pixels means increased sharpness since the resolution is essentially halved in order to produce the pop-out effect. This 6K glasses-free gaming monitor is a world’s first, according to Samsung.
Other notable specs on the new Odyssey 3D monitor include a 165Hz refresh rate that can be “boosted to 330Hz through Dual Mode” and a 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time. Of course, our big concern is game support. Only 14 games could be played with glasses-free 3D on the 27-incher, and it couldn’t play 3D movies. It’s unlikely the library of supported games has expanded significantly in seven months.
Then, there’s the new Odyssey G6 (G60H). Samsung is also touting another world’s first record: a 1,040Hz refresh rate… with “Dual Mode. That’s more than double the 500Hz refresh rate on the Samsung Odyssey OLED G660SF, which was also announced in May. Natively, the new Odyssey G6 tops out at a 600Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440).
Finally, there are three versions of the new Odyssey G8 gaming monitors. There’s the G80HS, which is a 32-inch display with 6K resolution (6,144 x 3,456). It’s got the same specs as the 6K Odyssey 3D sans the glasses-free 3D aspect. The G80HF is a 27-inch version with higher refresh rates: 180Hz native and 360Hz in Dual Mode. The G80SH is the Odyssey OLED G8, which is a 32-inch monitor with 4K resolution (3,240 x 2,160) and uses QD-OLED for inkier black. It’s also capable of reaching a 240Hz refresh rate.
No pricing info yet
Unsurprisingly, Samsung hasn’t shared any pricing or release information on any of its new Odyssey gaming monitors. Hopefully, we find out more at CES 2026 when we can actually lay our eyeballs on the screens.
