First introduced at CES 2025 in January, Samsung is rolling out the Odyssey OLED G6 globally. Billed as the world’s first 500Hz OLED monitor, the G6 is now officially launching in select Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 Specifications
The Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) is a 27-inch QHD display (2560 x 1440) that uses QD-OLED technology to reach a 500Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time.
While the 500Hz refresh rate is the headliner, Samsung is pairing it with features targeted at performance-focused gamers. The panel supports both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certifications to reduce screen tearing. It also meets the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 standard to maintain dynamic range and deliver deeper blacks.
The monitor can automatically reduce brightness on static images like logos and taskbars to prevent burn-in. Whereas, it has a dedicated OLED Safeguard+ technology to mitigate burn-in issues during prolonged use. There’s also anti-reflective Glare Free coating to minimize distractions from ambient lighting.
The display hits a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, though you are only likely to reach that level in specific HDR content rather than sustained brightness in regular use.
The monitor is also Pantone Validated, which means it conforms to Pantone’s standards for color accuracy. Samsung says it can reproduce over 2,100 colors and more than 110 skin tones from Pantone’s library.
To keep thermals under control, it has a dynamic cooling system with pulsating heat pipes that use a coolant that evaporates and condenses to dissipate heat five times faster than a graphite sheet.
Price and Availability
The Odyssey OLED G6 is priced at SGD 1,488 (~ USD 1,147) and the pre-order is now live in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Samsung has not confirmed specific release dates for markets beyond Southeast Asia, but a gradual global rollout is expected in the coming months.
