Samsung has introduced the Odyssey G80HS, a new 32-inch gaming monitor. It features a 6K resolution of 6144x3456 pixels, operating at a 165 Hz refresh rate. The monitor also includes a dual refresh feature, allowing it to run at 3072x1728 pixels with a 330 Hz refresh rate.
The Odyssey G80HS utilizes an IPS panel with a claimed 1ms response time. It supports Adaptive-Sync and HDR10, covering over 90% of the DCI-P3 color space. To achieve its full 6K resolution at 165 Hz, the monitor requires DisplayPort 2.1 or HDMI 2.1 connectivity and a high-performance graphics card like the GeForce RTX 5090. The dual mode at 3072x1728 and 330 Hz is more accessible for GPUs such as the RTX 4090 or RTX 5090.
The monitor offers impressive contrast, saturated and accurate color, and excellent HDR quality with effective dynamic contrast. It provides a responsive gaming experience due to low input lag, and the higher refresh rate minimizes motion blur. However, Adaptive-Sync and overdrive cannot be used simultaneously, and the monitor lacks internal speakers.
The Samsung Odyssey G80HS represents a step towards higher pixel density in gaming displays, moving beyond the current 4K standard. Its 224 ppi (or 112 ppi in dual mode) is notable. While it pushes resolution boundaries, the demanding hardware requirements mean its full capabilities are currently limited to users with top-tier systems.
