Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Samsung 27" Odyssey OLED G6 has been a great monitor for me. I have been using it for almost six months now, and it has performed consistently well. The 360Hz refresh rate and OLED panel make everything look incredibly smooth and vibrant, especially during gaming. The response time is excellent, and overall performance has been flawless. It was easy to set up and connect, and it works well with VESA monitor mounts and clamps, which made my desk setup much cleaner. My only wishes are that it were 4K instead of QHD and that it had built in speakers. While the display quality is excellent, having those extra features would have made it nearly perfect. Overall, it is a fantastic gaming monitor with top tier performance and beautiful visuals, just missing a couple of convenience features.

Let me preface by saying that I've had at least 6-7 different PC monitors since 2013. Why? Because I've always wanted the best competitive advantage and the past 10-11 years have been a onslaught of incremental improvements as far as display technology goes. 144hz (2013) to 240hz (2017) to 360hz (2020) and now response times, color reproduction, and black levels are finally starting to peak. It's not uncommon to hear the term "end game", especially on the OLED side, since there is no need to tweak response overdrive inside the monitor OSD itself. Perfect motion based on the refresh rate itself. GENERAL THOUGHTS: As I stated above, this monitor isn't going to disappoint in regards to absolute speed. I'm pretty certain this is the fastest monitor I've had my hands on in regardless to raw "input lag" due to the combination of 0.3ms response rate and a 360hz refresh rate. My previous first gen 360hz IPS monitor feels a bit more "laggy" side by side with Adaptive sync/G-Sync display technology disabled and set to its optimal overdrive setting. I'm certain this is the current peak in this metric.. and possibly even faster than the newer 540hz TN panels since those require voltage overdrive and have around a 1-2ms delay from response alone. For those competitive players that I'm talking to, this is definitely a solid option in the 1440p space. I would still consider a newer 540hz TN if you like 1080p Resolution. (As of this review on 06/2024) MATTE SCREEN: I hate to be that person, but the Anti-glare coating is actually worse than the newer WOLED 32" "matte" model that a friend of mine uses. I would say this better than your traditional IPS screen, but the color reproduction is a little worse than I imagined? - The Glossy QD-OLED that I have just "Pops" a bit more and look better in a mid lit room subjectively speaking. - I would Say QD OLED (Glossy) > WOLED (LG Panel.. semi-matte) > QD-OLED (Matte) as far as color "pop" goes.. but again.. this is a subjective factor. Take my opinion of this with a grain of salt. If you're looking for a matte screen, this may be absolutely amazing since reflections are minimal. I'm not trying to downplay this as "bad" either.. But I DO think WOLED or QD OLED glossy is better for me. UNIQUE FEATURES: This OLED design seems to include a functional vapor chamber in its backplate for cooling. This should promote greater longevity relative to alternative vendors using a basic assembly. I think it's pretty cool at least. There are teardowns on the internet if you want to see this. CONS: The monitor was marketed as a metal design, but its only really the base plate that is. The main assembly is silver plastic down to the arm. Is the arm as solid as other premium monitors? I'm afraid not.. but its passable and better than many Samsung legacy products of the past. Certain competitors just do better. Text clarity is also subpar... I used to have a 240hz 1440p IPS monitor and this is certainly a step below that one. For pure visuals, the 4k OLED (QD-OLED & WOLED) stuff is going be better, but the trade off is rendering over 2x the pixels from 1440p.. As you might have guessed, this is due to not using a traditional RGB pixel layout on windows. Samsung's Pixel layout looks like a triangle. The packaging is poor relative to most top brands in market.. I'm actually really disappointed that Samsung didn't put as much effort into the presentation or security of certain components like the monitor Arm. This isn't going to matter as much once you have the product, but I would pick up this monitor in your local best buy store and not have it shipped. OVERALL: I still consider this a top tier monitor, but I wouldn't say "end game". I think Samsung offers a solid package here, but its being held back by the aggressive matte coating (my opinion) and sub par text clarity from my perspective... Not to say that it isn't good... but its more like IPS "fixed" rather than "oh wow OLED!" Given that I've had/have experience with 4K OLED.. I'd rate this one a step below that, granted this is one is ABSOLUTELY FASTER as a trade off. Competitive players? Yes, buy it.. It's currently one of the best options if you want to go 1440p. The screen size is also slightly smaller at around 26.5" where most IPS 1440P Panels are 27" exact. If you like Matte? Also buy it. It does a good job and reducing reflections and better than the competitor WOLED in that regard. People that like looking at Glossy OLED TV's? Maybe skip this one. I'm giving it a 4/5 because its still better than legacy IPS/TN/VA stuff on market.. The raw speed of the monitor secures its higher rating. Well optimized.

Beautiful monitor. Don't hate me, I use it for work because the colors and black levels are more pleasing to me. The experts who talk about font readibilitu are exaggerating. Remember the days of using a 640 resolution monitor for work and coding? The thing some people may not like is the brightness of an OLED, so I love it for work, but maybe not for everybody. Previous to this I tried a 4K IPS and the 4K was too ridiculous for work, plus the colors washed out on IPS. Also that 4K monitor was an MSI which are the worst monitors you can buy. I have more faith in the Samsung. KVM would have been nice for the price though.

Awsome gaming monitor, clear picture and very responsive.

As a long time gamer, the refresh rate and response time is always a top priority. Motion is smooth, and competitive games feel incredibly responsive. I've come across a lot of monitors in my years and the input lag and color on this OLED monitor is Superior. Top feature I like is the fact for an OLED it really tries to minimize the burn in effect by reducing the brightness of the monitor when not in use/idle! Having it over a year, no problems or issues and firmware update is easy with dedicated USB slot in the back.

This monitor's resolution exceeded my expectations by far. Very fast refresh rate, incredible resolution. Highly recommend this monitor.

Amazing picture quality. Looks good in the games I’ve tried in the week since we’ve used it: Hogwarts Legacy, COD, Fortnite. I haven’t customized the display settings yet since the pc is also new, but I do get eye strain even while playing in the daytime. There’s an eye comfort menu option on the monitor (power button) that I turned on low but my eyes still hurt when playing for at least an hour. I’ve never had an OLED monitor so it may just be an OLED thing. Unboxing and set up was quick and simple. I do find the power button difficult to use with medium length nails. The monitor/stand also wobbles anytime the desk is slightly bumped into but it’s a solid monitor so I don’t think it’ll knock over.

Excellent monitor, I recommend it.Good colors and an excellent refresher.

this monitor is insane. best colors and fps ever would recommend to anyone that wanna have the best gaming experience

This is a fantastic monitor that I picked up on a Black Friday sale. It is an insanely fast OLED panel at 360hz. The glossy panel has a wonderful picture with deep blacks and vibrant colors. The screen can pick up glare from lights in the room, but it is very manageable and hasn't been a an issue for me. The features are also impressive with two HDMI 2.1 ports and a KVM switch to easily switch between two computers. It is also fully compatible with Series X and PS5 as it can accept a 4K signal and downscale to 1440p. I highly recommend this monitor.

Love this monitor. I got it to replace an old one super happy I got it with 3.5 jack I no longer have to use a Bluetooth dongle to connect my speakers for this and my Mac mini. Should have bought it sooner, great display and vibrant colors.

great monitor the picture quality amazes me and the refresh rate is so smooth

If you play games regularly, the difference is night and day. The contrast vs my IPS does not compare at all. I'm sure you've heard all the advantages of OLED, so the disadvantages (minor) I'll point out. 1) Brightness can be an issue for some, as its not quite as bright as my IPS panel monitor. However, it's only minor for me because my room is not too bright in general; so no need it to be too bright anyway. The deep colors, contrast, and overall vividness of the display are pros that outweigh this con. 2) I have OLED burn-in anxiety. This model has some features and screen optimization to help this know OLED issue. However I have not had it long enough nor have noticed any sign of burn-in (fortunately). Despite the features, I try to keep my usage of the monitor for games and videos. I keep the static images to a minimum when I can help it.

Great color and super fast. Easy to set up. Back led look good. Poor audio quality.

This monitor looks amazing and has great color, response time, and doesn't scream gaming monitor which i love. The only consistent issue i have with the monitor is the pixel shift goes too far over and cuts of a decent chunk of the left side of the screen. and only the left side. The close button on mac will disappear and the only way to see it again is to restart the monitor. Samsung says this is a feature and not a bug, so i cant in good conscience give a 5 star review. 4 stars because it is inherently flawed. They say its not a problem if the edge is cut off on their wesbite, but i cant see buttons so it *is* an issue. Go with a different brand that doesnt have the issue with pixel shift cutting if your gonna spend that much money. There is no way this is working as intended.

The monitor delivers on its promise of an infinite contrast, lightning fast response time, and one of the highest refresh rate display. The matte coating doesn't bother me at all, I appreciate it being there to reduce glare. If you're not in a very lit room, I find the monitor to be more than bright enough for a great HDR and SDR experience. The quirks are: DSC has a bug on Nvidia cards that makes the display go black for a second every time you alt tab out of a fullscreen application. Another one is that using HDMI has alwags given me issues with the screen going black for a second for no reason. Displayport works just fine. This display is a great buy if you need a 1440p OLED with a matte coating, or if its cheaper than the MSI MPG model since that one has many more features like a USB-C PD port, a KVM, and no matte coating.

Thia monitor is insanely fast and clear at 360HZ. Colors pop and it looks like if your see thru a window. Love the look of it to very classy. There is no buyers remorse at all.

Purchased this to replace the 4K 240hz 32in curved and the picture quality is genuinely just as good as 4K. Im extremely pleased with the monitor and over all look of everything.

Paired with an RTX 5080, this is type of monitor is the best option. Most games I run on high quality settings with DLSS and Ultra Performance as my settings. I average about 300+ frames on almost every game I play, especially CoD BO6. This monitor handles everything very well and it's a significant difference in picture quality and Performance vs a 165HZ 2K monitor that most people commonly use. When paired with a powerful GPU, you get a very smooth experience, significantly better picture quality because of the OLED, and yes, darker colors stand out better and more detailed, so things just dont blend in like they would on a cheaper quality monitor. If you know you can't get high FPS with your current set up, consider this monitor with the 240Hz limit, as it's a little cheaper in price, but the same great quality.
