Samsung has announced the availability the world’s first OLED screen capable of supporting 500Hz refresh rates.
This ground-breaking OLED model is the 27G60SF: a 27-inch 16:9 screen that also boasts a QHD (2,560 x 1,440) native resolution and an ultra-fast GtG response time of 0.03ms. The new Odyssey OLED G6 is certified to the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 performance level, too, while its inputs support variable refresh rates in both the NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro systems.

The 27G60SF uses Samsung’s own Quantum Dot twist on OLED technology, which experience suggests should lead both to purer colors (thanks to the technology’s pure RGB configuration) and enhanced brightness. Samsung confirms, in fact, that the Odyssey OLED G6 will be capable of hitting an impressive peak brightness of 1,000 nits. At the same time that its use of self-emissive OLED pixels should mean that it delivers beautifully pure, deep black colours.
Your connection with and appreciation of the 27G60SF’s seemingly extreme contrast should be enhanced, too, by its use of one of Samsung’s renowned Glare Free screens, which manages to remove almost all reflections.
The Odyssey OLED G6’s colors, meanwhile, have been Pantone Validated to ensure their accuracy, and it’s the latest Samsung monitor to benefit from the brand’s unique OLED Safeguard+ technology, where a combination of complex image analysis and an innovative “pulsating heat pipe” system that evaporates and condenses coolant behind different parts of the image for greater efficiency to stop the screen falling prey over time to permanent screen burn. |
