High resolution, high refresh rate and top panel with Quantum Dot technology. A few years ago, you could only find these features on top-of-the-line monitors. However, this is changing, and you can enjoy the dream of 240 Hz even for quite reasonable money. Proof of this is the novelty in the form of Odyssey G6 from Samsung. In addition, the monitor has several tricks up its sleeve, including complex software.
In the past, you had to choose whether you prefer the resolution or refresh rate of your monitor. 4K monitors were pushing the market, and high refresh rates were the preserve of Full HD models. Luckily, QHD resolution has become the gold standard, which is good enough for 27 inches without being too demanding on performance. Therefore, it is not surprising that Samsung has also achieved this resolution with the new Odyssey G6.
The addition to the Odyssey gaming series offers a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz at QHD resolution. This value is quite enough even for players of competitive titles. On this monitor, you can turn on Counter-Strike as well as single player games like Spider-Man. If you’re not hitting 240fps in-game, FreeSync Premium Pro will take care of the smoothness of the image, which will adjust the refresh rate based on the number of frames your graphics card is generating.
Samsung opted for a VA panel with a 1ms response time for the Odyssey G6. The brightness is standard 350 nits, but there is VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification. This is the gateway to the world of HDR images. Quantum Dot technology provides excellent color reproduction. So you can be sure that each game world will absorb you with a variety of true colors.
Console users will be pleased with the HDMI 2.1 integration so they can easily connect an Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5. PC players can also use this interface or use DisplayPort 1.4. The Auto Source Switch+ feature ensures fast and trouble-free switching between inputs. This eliminates the long search for the desired entry in the monitor menu.
As for the construction, the monitor can be assembled in a few minutes thanks to a simple two-piece stand. It is minimalistic and does not take up much space on the table. The stand makes it easy to tilt, swivel and swivel. You can also use your own VESA mount. The backside is also adorned with elegant RGB lighting.
The Samsung monitor also has a decent front light, which can be found at the bottom of the curved screen. The curvature of 1000R immerses every player and viewer into the world behind the screen. Thanks to the curve, you can put the monitor closer and still have a complete view of what is happening on the screen. In addition, the curvature copies the natural shape of the eye.
Hardware is one thing, but monitor software isn’t often talked about. Basically, this part contains only a simple monitor OSD menu. But the Odyssey G6 is among the smart monitors. Inside, the Tizen operating system from the Samsung workshop beats. You can recognize it, for example, by smart TVs, to which the monitor is essentially suitable.
You will even find a remote control in the package to make it easier to control the system. You can install any popular application on the monitor, from Netflix to Twitch to Nvidia GeForce Now. So you hardly need a computer or console to play. Just connect your wireless controller via Bluetooth, turn on the app and you’re ready to play. Wi-Fi will take care of connecting to the Internet.
There are many other practical uses for smart functions. Do you want to watch a movie, but are you worried about your computer’s humming? Play it through the monitor and turn off the gaming computer. You save on electricity and still fully enjoy Netflix and Chill.
The Samsung Odyssey G6 is the complete set of features and specifications you would expect from a gaming monitor. QHD resolution with a diagonal of 27 inches can be considered the golden mean. The 240Hz refresh rate will satisfy even demanding gamers, and you’ll enjoy smart features on a daily basis. Odyssey G6 belongs to the middle class models, and you will not find a monitor with similar equipment in this category on the market. In particular, the built-in Tizen operating system makes this monitor an excellent multimedia center in a gaming monitor case. Thus, its acquisition is definitely worth it.
