The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 is the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor

For competitive gamers who want super high refresh rates, bright colors and excellent contrast, Samsung's Odyssey OLED G6 is the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor and it might be exactly what you need.

Previously, if you wanted a monitor for competitive gaming, you had to choose between an IPS or VA panel to get something with a super high refresh rate or opt for a slower OLED display with richer colors and better contrast. Available for $1,000, the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) only comes in one size (27 inches) and features a QHD resolution (2,560 x 1440) with a 16:9 aspect ratio and critically, that blisteringly speedy 500Hz refresh rate with a .03ms (GTG) response time.
