Samsung has raised the bar in the gaming world with the new Odyssey G6, officially presented at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany, where the event runs from August 26 to 30. This monitor is the first in the world to achieve a refresh rate of 1100 Hz in HD resolution, a value that seemed unthinkable for a commercial display until recently. The announcement has been met with great interest from enthusiasts and professionals, as it promises to deliver fluidity and responsiveness at unprecedented levels.
The new Odyssey G6, identified by the model number G60H, features a 27-inch Fast IPS LCD panel with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), a 1ms response time, and HDR support. In native QHD mode, the monitor can reach up to 600 Hz, already an exceptional value, but it is in HD that it unleashes its full potential, hitting 1100 Hz. This makes it ideal for competitive gamers seeking the ultimate edge in speed and precision.

Additionally, the monitor is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC, minimizing screen tearing and stuttering.
