Samsung's 'world's first' 6K gaming monitor on pre-order for €1,499
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Samsung opens pre-orders for its Odyssey G8 (G80HS), the world's first 32-inch 6K gaming monitor, at €1,499 on its German site. The IPS panel delivers 6,144 x 3,456 resolution, 165 Hz refresh rate, and 224 DPI for sharp images. Brightness peaks at 350 nits without full-array dimming, limiting HDR and prompting gaming value questions.

Samsung's Odyssey G8 (G80HS), billed as the "world's first" 6K 32-inch gaming monitor, goes on pre-order for €1,499 on the company's German website. PC Gamer reports the display, announced at CES, carries an expected similar dollar price.

The monitor features a 32-inch 6K IPS panel with 6,144 by 3,456 resolution. PC Gamer notes Samsung typically uses VA panels but sources this IPS panel possibly from rival LG Display, as the resolution matches an LG offering—though Samsung lists a static contrast of 1,000:1 versus LG's 2,000:1.

It supports a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 330 Hz alternate mode at 3K resolution. Brightness tops at 350 nits without full-array dimming, limiting HDR performance.

PC Gamer highlights the 224 DPI pixel density for sharp image quality and font rendering, though it questions the gaming value given other limitations.
