Of course Samsung made a 1,100Hz gaming monitor
Samsung announced new additions to its Odyssey gaming monitor lineup at Gamescom, featuring what it describes as “world-first innovations” in display technology and design. The centerpiece is the Odyssey G6, which has been upgraded to feature a 1,100Hz refresh rate—a marginal increase from the 1,040Hz specification announced at CES 2026. The 27-inch monitor retains its other specifications from the earlier announcement.
Alongside the enhanced G6, Samsung is introducing three new OLED variants across its Odyssey lineup launching in 2027: the G9, G8, and G7 models. These OLED updates represent the company’s push into next-generation display technology for the gaming market. The monitors are positioned as premium products aimed at competitive and enthusiast gamers seeking cutting-edge display performance.
The rapid iteration from 1,040Hz to 1,100Hz demonstrates Samsung’s aggressive pursuit of display speed supremacy in the gaming monitor space. While the practical performance difference between these incremental speeds may be minimal for most users, the specifications serve as key differentiators in the premium gaming monitor market.
