Just a few days after LG announced<\/a> its CES 2025 lineup of monitors, Samsung is doing the same. The company just introduced several new models, and perhaps the most impressive among them is the Odyssey OLED G81SF. It\u2019s a 27-inch 4K monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, 0.03ms response time, a glare-free display, and rear-core lighting with 52 color options. Samsung is also including a number of burn-in protection measures to ensure that the Odyssey G81SF\u2019s screen looks pristine for years to come. The G8 is likely to be using the latest and greatest OLED panel from Samsung Display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Next up is the Odyssey OLED G60SF \u2014 also a 27-inch OLED monitor \u2014 with a QHD resolution and an impressive 500Hz refresh rate that Samsung says effectively \u201celiminates lag and motion blur for ultra-smooth gameplay during critical moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In 2025, Samsung is also finally shipping the Odyssey 3D monitor it first teased at least year\u2019s CES<\/a>. It lets you experience 3D visuals without<\/em> any special glasses by using a lenticular lens on the front panel. \u201cEye tracking monitors the movement of both eyes using a built-in stereo camera, while view mapping continuously adjusts the image to enhance depth perception,\u201d Samsung said in its press release. The Odyssey 3D only comes in a 27-inch 4K size; the larger 37-inch display mentioned last year<\/a> has apparently been scrapped. The company says it offers \u201ca rapid 1ms gray-to-gray response time, and a 165Hz refresh rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That does it for the gaming-focused monitors, but Samsung is also announcing two others that are more focused on everyday productivity. The SmartMonitor series is finally going OLED with the new Smart Monitor M9. And this year, Samsung is throwing in a ton of AI capabilities including AI Picture Optimizer. Like on its TVs, this feature \u201canalyzes input signals to determine the type of content being viewed \u2014 such as gaming, video, or productivity applications \u2014 and automatically adjust the display settings for the best visual experience.\u201d This also works for gaming and can detect the genre of what you\u2019re playing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n AI Upscaling Pro can make lower-res content look crisper at the M9\u2019s 4K resolution, and the monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz. That\u2019s a significant upgrade from the M8<\/a>, which topped out at 60Hz. Samsung says moving to OLED also allows for a new \u201cultra-slim\u201d design for the Smart Monitor M9 that should take up considerably less desk space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The last monitor being announced (at least for today) is the only non-OLED model of the bunch. The new 37-inch ViewFinity S8 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, a built-in KVM switch, 90W USB-C passthrough charging, and covers 99 percent of the sRGB color gamut. Peak brightness for this 4K display tops out at 350 nits, which should be perfectly suitable for anything you\u2019ll be doing at a desk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pricing and release dates are still to come, but The Verge<\/em> will be in Las Vegas for CES 2025 in a matter of days. So you won\u2019t have to wait much longer for some first-hand impressions of Samsung\u2019s new monitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
