Samsung just dropped its most ambitious gaming monitor lineup yet, and it's bringing some genuinely groundbreaking specs to the table. The Korean electronics giant unveiled five new Odyssey models, including the industry's first 6K glasses-free 3D monitor and a 1,040Hz refresh rate display that's pushing competitive gaming into new territory. With these announcements, Samsung is reasserting its dominance in the gaming monitor space ahead of CES 2026.
Samsung Electronics just made a bold move in the gaming display space, unveiling its most advanced Odyssey lineup yet with five new models that fundamentally reshape what's possible on a gaming monitor. The announcement marks a significant hardware leap at a time when competitive gaming and creative workstations are pushing display technology to its limits.
The headline grab here is the 32-inch Odyssey 3D (model G90XH), which debuts the world's first 6K display with glasses-free 3D. This isn't the gimmicky 3D of the past. Instead, it pairs a 6K resolution (6,144 x 3,456) with real-time eye tracking that adjusts depth and perspective based on where you're actually looking. The monitor hits 165Hz natively and pushes to 330Hz through Samsung's Dual Mode at 3K resolution, keeping fast-action gameplay sharp with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time. Games like The First Berserker: Khazan, Lies of P: Overture, and Stellar Blade will feature optimized 3D effects that add dimensionality to terrain, distance, and object separation beyond standard 2D play.
"With this year's Odyssey lineup, we're introducing display experiences that simply weren't possible even a year ago," Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung's Visual Display Business, said in a statement. "From the industry's first 6K glasses-free 3D monitor to breakthrough 1,040Hz speed, we designed these monitors to meet the ambitions of today's gamers and deliver a level of immersion that fundamentally changes how content looks and functions on screen."
But the 3D monitor is just one piece of the puzzle. Samsung also rolled out the 27-inch Odyssey G6 (G60H), which takes a different approach entirely. This is the esports-focused answer, hitting 600Hz natively on QHD resolution before cranking up to 1,040Hz in Dual Mode at HD. That's the highest refresh rate on any consumer gaming monitor right now. For competitive shooters and fast-twitch games, it's built to deliver motion clarity at speeds most players won't even perceive, but every frame counts in esports. The G6 supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility for smooth, tear-free performance across different GPU ecosystems.
