Samsung has officially commenced sales of its latest high-end display, the Odyssey G8 (G80HS). Distinguishing itself as the market’s first 6K monitor specifically tailored for gaming, this 32-inch peripheral aims to bridge the gap between extreme pixel density for creators and high-speed performance for enthusiasts.
The monitor is currently available for purchase in Germany through Samsung’s official online store, priced at €1,499 (~$1,751). Shipping is scheduled to begin on June 19. While the product is expected to expand into additional European markets shortly, Samsung has not yet confirmed release dates or pricing for regions outside of Europe.
The core appeal of the G80HS lies in its 32-inch IPS panel, which delivers a native resolution of 6144 x 2456 pixels. This choice of panel technology ensures wide viewing angles and high color accuracy, essential for professional content creation.
The monitor features a unique Dual Mode capability to balance resolution and fluidity:
6K Mode: Operates at a native refresh rate of 165 Hz for maximum detail.
3K Mode: By reducing the resolution, the monitor can reach a refresh rate of 330 Hz, catering to competitive gaming scenarios where motion clarity is prioritized over raw pixel count.
Designed to handle demanding visual tasks, the Odyssey G8 boasts a 1 ms response time and a typical brightness of 350 nits. To ensure a tear-free experience across different hardware configurations, it is compatible with both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync.
Regarding connectivity, Samsung has equipped the model with modern standards to support its high bandwidth requirements:
DisplayPort 2.1
HDMI 2.1
These ports allow the monitor to integrate seamlessly into high-end PC setups, providing the necessary throughput for 6K gaming and high-bitrate video editing. The Odyssey G8 G80HS represents Samsung’s push to redefine the “ultra-premium” segment by combining professional-grade resolution with top-tier gaming features.
