Samsung's new Odyssey G6 monitor hits a ridiculous 1,100Hz refresh rate at 720p — displays each frame for less than a millisecond
Ironically, the display with the four-digit refresh rate is actually the bottom of the display stack Samsung is showing off at Gamescom 2026.
Samsung unveiled its new Odyssey G6 monitor at Gamescom 2026, boasting an astonishing refresh rate of 1,100Hz at a resolution of 720p. This display, which features an IPS LCD panel, achieves this impressive feat by dropping the resolution to one-quarter of its native QHD setting, resulting in each frame being displayed for less than a millisecond.
Though the monitor's impressive specifications make it a compelling option for gamers seeking high frame rates at lower resolutions, the article suggests an OLED panel might have been a more suitable choice to achieve such performance. The article also highlights Samsung's line of Odyssey OLED gaming monitors, including the G7, G8, and G9, which feature increasingly larger screens, higher resolutions, and cutting-edge technologies such as curved displays, Penta Tandem technology, and peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits.
While the exact pricing and availability of these devices remain unspecified, Samsung has confirmed that the 1,100-Hz Odyssey G6 will be released globally in the second half of 2026.
