Pre-orders are open for Samsung’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, the 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 for A$1,529. It’s actually discounted from its RRP of A$1,699.It will be available nationwide in leading retail stores from August. I’ve already tried it as you can see in the video above.
500Hz SPEED MACHINE
Officially known as G60SF, the G6 500Hz refresh rate produces an unbelievably smooth moving image on its QD-OLED display. Combined with an ultra-fast 0.03ms response time (GTG), and QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution, the G6 not only gives gamers better motion but better colours and pop.
“Samsung continues to lead the gaming monitor industry with breakthrough innovations that redefine how games are experienced,” said Neal Elliott, Acting Head of Pro-Display, Samsung Electronics Australia. “With the Odyssey OLED G6, Samsung’s first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, we are pushing gaming performance, visual quality and immersion to entirely new heights — delivering the next evolution of display technology for Australian gamers.”
COLOUR, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST
Nothing beats OLED for black levels so it’s no surprise this monitor, certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, delivers outstanding colour and contrast. The monitor supports NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible for smooth, tear-free visuals.
The panel can reach a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and features Samsung’s Glare Free technology. This removes reflections that can be annoying during game play. This technology is growing on me and I’m starting to become a fan. Not totally, but it’s definitely impressive.
The G6 is Pantone Validated, ensuring highly accurate colour reproduction. And to help maintain visual quality over time, the OLED G6 monitor is protected with OLED Safeguard+, which helps to minimise burn-in even during extended use.
