Samsung Unveils Cutting-Edge Odyssey Gaming Monitors for 2025
Samsung Electronics has unveiled its latest line of Odyssey gaming monitors, alongside the new ViewFinity S8, promising to redefine the gaming experience. The 2025 Odyssey lineup introduces the groundbreaking Odyssey 3D, the impressive Odyssey OLED G8 featuring an industry-first 4K, 240Hz display, and the ultrawide Odyssey G9. These monitors are meticulously crafted to deliver an unmatched level of immersion and performance for today’s gamers.
Entering the World of 3D Gaming with the Odyssey 3D
The newly introduced Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) 27-inch monitor offers a pioneering 3D gaming experience without the need for specialized glasses. This is made possible by advanced eye-tracking technology combined with a proprietary lenticular lens, which creates a high-definition 3D image. This innovation enhances the gaming and video experience through the Reality Hub app, providing a new level of engagement and immersion.
Samsung is actively working with leading game developers to maximize this 3D technology. Notable collaborations include Nexon for "The First Berserker: Khazan," which is set to launch on March 28, and Neowiz for the acclaimed "Lies of P," with its first downloadable content, "Overture," scheduled for release this summer. These partnerships give developers unprecedented control over 3D effects, allowing them to realize their creative visions with precision. Samsung plans to expand these partnerships with more global game studios.
Apart from 3D gaming, the Odyssey 3D also features AI video conversion technology, transforming regular video content into 3D, thus revitalizing nearly all types of content. Each scene of compatible content is analyzed and converted to 3D, ensuring consistent effects with minimal eye strain.
The Odyssey 3D is not just about 3D immersion; it also delivers exceptional gaming performance. With a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time, the 4K screen ensures smooth and responsive gaming. Furthermore, AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility minimize screen tearing and lag during intense gameplay.
To further enhance 3D immersion, Edge Lighting technology adapts to the gaming environment, filling the area under the monitor with colors synchronized with the screen’s lighting, thereby bringing game environments to life.
Odyssey OLED G8: Highest Pixel Density on a 27’’ Screen
The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model) showcases unmatched picture quality with a performance boost. Available in 27-inch and 32-inch models, the 27-inch variant boasts 166 pixels-per-inch, the highest pixel density for a screen of its size, and is the first 4K monitor to offer a 240Hz refresh rate. Both models combine groundbreaking performance with superior visual quality.
The 4K QD-OLED visuals deliver outstanding detail, with enhanced colors and contrast from any viewing angle, thanks to quantum dot technology. The screen is further enhanced by VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400, providing almost infinite contrast that highlights vibrant colors, even at a typical brightness of 250 nits. The Glare Free technology, certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), reduces reflections, minimizing distractions.
Samsung’s OLED Safeguard+ protects the screen, with a proprietary Dynamic Cooling System that uses an industry-first Pulsating Heat Pipe to dissipate heat five times more efficiently than standard graphite sheets, without affecting brightness, thus preventing burn-in and prolonging screen life.
The Odyssey OLED G8 is designed for top performance, with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms GtG response time ensuring fast and smooth screen movements. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility to prevent stuttering, tearing, and jittering, making gaming an ultra-smooth, responsive, and immersive experience.
Its slim metal design makes it an attractive addition to any gaming setup, with Core Lighting+ providing ambient lighting that complements the screen, all easily adjustable with the ergonomic stand.
Odyssey G9: Expanding the Horizon for Curved Ultrawide Gaming
The Odyssey G9 (G91F model) opens the world of ultrawide gaming to a broader audience with a simplified design that does not compromise on performance. Its 49-inch Dual QHD display with a 1000R curvature immerses users in high-quality visuals and thrilling gameplay.
A 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time ensure responsive and quick gameplay, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro ensures smooth action without tearing or stuttering. VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification ensures vivid colors and clarity, and HDR10+ GAMING optimizes brightness, contrast, and color range for dynamic visuals.
The Odyssey G9 excels in multitasking with features like Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture, allowing two devices to be viewed simultaneously with flexible size options. Auto Source Switch+ detects connected devices and displays them automatically, enhancing user convenience.
ViewFinity S8: Comfort and Efficiency Redefined
Complementing the 2025 gaming monitors, Samsung introduces the 37-inch ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model), the largest 16:9 4K monitor by Samsung to date. With a screen approximately 34% larger than the previous model, the ViewFinity S8 is designed to maximize productivity and efficiency. Its 4K screen, along with HDR10 and the ability to display 1 billion colors, equips professionals with the tools needed for effective and efficient work.
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the ViewFinity S8’s ergonomic design is certified by TÜV Rheinland as an Ergonomic Workspace Display, and its Intelligent Eye Care is TÜV-certified for reducing eye strain. Devices can be connected for work through a 90W USB-C connection, and multiple inputs can be managed with a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch, simplifying the connection of work and leisure devices.
