Samsung Unveils New Odyssey OLED, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity Lineups With 2024 One Launch

Samsung Electronics America today announced its 2024 Odyssey OLED, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity monitor lineups are now available on Samsung.com and at select retailers nationwide. Additionally, get up to $300 Samsung credit when you purchase one of the new monitors1. Plus, gain 10 entries into a sweepstakes for the chance to win a $5,000 Samsung credit.2

These new and updated models bring features that people want — as well as some they don’t expect — to deliver new experiences, no matter how they use their monitors. While the Odyssey lineup brings a next-level OLED experience and new AI capabilities3 to the Odyssey OLED G8, the Smart Monitor lineup enables more enhanced entertainment features powered by AI to the Smart Monitor M8. For a complete workstation, consumers can turn to the ViewFinity lineup which boosts connectivity to create an efficient work environment.

“Samsung continues to reinforce why we are the #1 monitor brand two years in a row by delivering innovations that are at the forefront of technology, and our new 2024 lineup will further solidify this. With our Odyssey, ViewFinity, and Smart Monitor lines, Samsung offers monitors that match what gamers, students, creative professionals, and hybrid workers look for as they work and play,” said David Phelps, Head of the Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Samsung ushers in a new era of monitors with technological advancements like AI upscaling, OLED Glare-Free technology, and OLED Safeguard+, as well as enhanced entertainment and connectivity features like Multi Control and a KVM Switch.”

Odyssey OLED Series: Visual Excellence With New Burn-In Prevention Features

The 2024 Odyssey OLED models offer the next-generation OLED performance with the new Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model).

The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32” Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time for ultra smooth and responsive gameplay. The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, supporting a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time make it easy for gamers to keep up with fast-moving gameplay.

The new Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor powered by AI. The NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which is the same processor Samsung uses in its 2024 8K TV, upscales content to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub4 and the monitor’s native Smart TV apps for higher resolution in gaming and entertainment.5

Both new Odyssey OLED models feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a new proprietary burn-in protection technology. This technology is the first in the world to prevent burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor. Additionally, the Dynamic Cooling System evaporates and condenses a coolant to diffuse heat five times more effectively than the older graphite sheet method, which prevents burn-in by reducing temperature at the core. The monitor also detects static images like logos and taskbars, automatically reducing their brightness to provide another means of burn-in prevention.6

The Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6 both deliver unmatched OLED picture quality with a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.), while FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen lag and screen tearing.

Samsung’s new OLED Glare Free technology7 also preserves color accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to ensure an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimized, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialized hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.

Both monitors feature a super slim metal design that gives them a distinct identity, while Core Lighting+ enhances entertainment and gaming experiences with ambient lighting that synchronizes with the screen. The ergonomic and height-adjustable stand also makes long sessions more comfortable with tilt and swivel support.

The new Odyssey OLED monitors will expand Samsung’s OLED monitor market leadership. The release of these two monitors comes after Samsung achieved the top position in global sales in the OLED monitor market within only one year of launching its first OLED model.8 This achievement underscores Samsung’s rapid ascent in the competitive landscape of OLED monitors while reinforcing its commitment to diversifying its gaming monitor lineup with new models that leverage the company’s proprietary technology.

Smart Monitor M8: AI Processing for Crystal Clear Video and Audio

The updated Smart Monitor lineup brings together a complete multi-device experience into one hub for smarter entertainment and greater productivity. The upgraded 2024 models include the M8 (M80D model), M7 (M70D model), and the M5 (M50D model).

Smart Monitor M8_M80D_(1)

The upgraded 32” 4K UHD Smart Monitor M8 introduces new features powered by AI with the NQM AI processor, taking entertainment experiences to the next level. AI upscaling brings lower resolution content up to nearly 4K9, and Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyze background noise in the user’s environment to optimize dialogue in the user’s content.10 360 Audio Mode11 is available on the M8, which pairs with Galaxy Buds to create an immersive sound environment. The built-in SlimFit Camera also makes it easy to conduct video calls through mobile applications with Samsung Dex.12

New to the entire line of Smart Monitors is a Workout Tracker,13 which pairs with a Galaxy Watch to enable real-time health data on the screen, even while streaming content. This makes it easier to track workout goals.

These new features enhance the already impressive Smart Monitor functionality. Smart TV apps and Samsung TV Plus14 provide instant access to a wide range of streaming services and live content, without needing to boot up a PC or connect to other devices.15

The M7 is available in 32” and 43” with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 300 nits (Typ.) and a gray to gray (GtG) response time of 4ms. The M5 is available in 27” and 32”, with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080), a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms.
