- Samsung has launched a new game monitor, the Odyssey Oled G6
- The monitor is the first 500Hz OLED option in the market
- It will be available in other regions at the end of this year.
Samsung’s Odyssey alignment includes some of the best game monitors available in the market, many of which are OLED for immersive experiences, and only another is added to the list.
As reported by Videocardz, Samsung has launched the first 500Hz OLED game monitor in the world; The Odyssey Oled G60SF, which has an incredibly high 500Hz update rate and a 27 -inch screen at the resolution of 2,560 x 1,440.
Videocardz states that it will be priced at $ 1,488 (around £ 1,120 / UA $ 2,320). It is currently only available in some Asia countries, but it is expected to unfold to other regions at the end of this year.
The Odyssey OLED G60SD is the current model available, but instead uses an 360Hz update rate. The new OLED G60SF takes this to 500Hz, while offering a VESA displayhdr True Black 500 screen with a 1000 nits peak, one step up of the 250 Nutes of G60SD brightness.
It is worth noting that Samsung recently announced that he plans to introduce cheaper OLED monitors, but that is not the case of the new Oled G6. This is a monitor that should attract shooters players in the first person, especially games such as Counter – But in addition to the use of tools such as the generation of nvidia pictures, there are very few games that can reach box speeds of up to 500 fps (or frankly, games that do not need) even with the best available PC hardware.
I will keep the normal update rates, thanks …
While there is no damage when providing a high 500Hz update rate, especially for navigating and games that are capable of reaching super high table speeds, the price of $ 1,488 says otherwise. Having used a handful of monitors with different update rates over the years, I can assure you that no need A 500Hz monitor.
With my OLED AW3423DWF AW3423DWF monitor, 165Hz is perfectly well and is the optimal point for high -end games; Some could even argue that 144Hz or 120Hz is more than enough. This is because the difference between them is not significant enough to notice, unless one of them directly jumps from a 60Hz screen.
The most impressive feature with the new Odyssey Oled G6 is, in fact, the VESA certification, since Displayhdr True Black 500 and 1,000 maximum shine nits will revitalize their game experience if you are updating from a LED screen.
However, there are many cheaper options for OLEDs in the market that can do the same, but without absurdly high update rates. Call me crazy, but I don’t see the value of a 500Hz update rate monitor for games …
