Samsung Odyssey OLED Series Specs And Features


The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6, a 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, features a 16:9 aspect ratio, 360Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 0.03ms GtG response time, perfect for gamers. This new model introduces Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a burn-in protection technology that employs a pulsating heat pipe to prevent burn-in.


The Dynamic Cooling System enhances heat dissipation by evaporating and condensing a coolant, offering five times more effective heat management than traditional graphite sheets, Samsung claimed. The monitor also detects static images, like logos and taskbars, automatically dimming their brightness to prevent burn-in.


The Odyssey OLED G6 is said to deliver exceptional OLED picture quality with a typical brightness of 250 nits. FreeSync Premium Pro ensures the GPU and display panel are perfectly synchronised, eliminating choppiness, screen lag and tearing. Samsung’s OLED Glare Free technology maintains colour accuracy and reduces reflections while preserving image sharpness, even in bright daylight. 


The monitor features a super slim metal design, enhanced by Core Lighting+ which synchronises ambient lighting with on-screen content for an immersive experience.
