Samsung Electronics has unveiled its 2026 Odyssey gaming monitor portfolio, rolling out five new models that emphasize ultra-high resolutions, extreme refresh rates, and immersive display innovations. The new range features Samsung’s first 6K glasses-free 3D gaming monitor, a next-generation high-refresh-rate Odyssey G6, and three Odyssey G8 variants offering 6K, 5K, and OLED panel options.
Odyssey 3D: 6K glasses-free 3D gaming monitor -
The 32-inch Odyssey 3D (G90XH) becomes the world’s first gaming monitor to combine a 6K resolution with glasses-free 3D viewing. Using real-time eye-tracking, the display dynamically adjusts depth and perspective based on the viewer’s position, delivering a 3D experience without headsets or glasses.
The monitor supports a 165Hz refresh rate, expandable to 330Hz via Dual Mode, along with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time. Samsung says select PC games will receive specially optimized 3D effects developed in partnership with game studios.
Confirmed supported titles include The First Berserker: Khazan, Lies of P: Overture, and Stellar Blade, offering improved depth, distance rendering, and object separation over conventional 2D gameplay.
