High-Resolution 'Viewfinity' with Enhanced Convenience

Samsung Electronics launched the 2024 model gaming monitor 'Odyssey OLED' with numerous new features and the high-resolution monitor 'ViewFinity' on the 4th. To solidify its leadership in the OLED monitor industry, the company introduced the flat 16:9 ratio 'Odyssey OLED' new model and also unveiled the ViewFinity lineup, which improves connectivity and convenience features to enhance work efficiency.

2024 Odyssey OLED with Burn-in Prevention Technology Applied

Samsung Electronics' new 'Odyssey OLED' models (G80SD·G60SD) are the first to apply the company's burn-in prevention technology, 'Samsung OLED Safeguard+'. This technology, through the 'Dynamic Cooling System,' disperses heat five times more effectively compared to the conventional graphite sheet method, lowering screen temperature without brightness changes to prevent burn-in.

The new models apply 'OLED Glare Free' technology, verified by the U.S. safety certification organization 'UL,' which reduces light reflection from external sources. Additionally, they feature the ultra-slim metal design unique to the Odyssey OLED series and 'Core Lighting+,' which changes lighting colors by analyzing game screens to provide an immersive gaming experience.

The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) includes a built-in 'Smart Hub' and the streaming game platform integration service 'Samsung Gaming Hub,' allowing users to enjoy cloud games or OTT services without connecting separate devices. It also features the AI-based 'NQ8 AI 3rd Generation Processor,' offering the first 4K AI upscaling function in Samsung OLED gaming monitors.

The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 supports 4K UHD resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate. The Odyssey OLED G6 is 27 inches with QHD resolution and a 360Hz refresh rate. The retail prices are 1,990,000 KRW for the G8 and 1,490,000 KRW for the G6.

ViewFinity Designed with Environmental Consideration and Easy Installation

The five new high-resolution ViewFinity monitors (S80UD·S80D·S70D·S60UD·S60D) use at least 10% recycled plastic materials to minimize environmental impact. The packaging uses adhesive instead of staples to facilitate recycling during disassembly. They also feature the industry's first 'Easy Installation Stand,' allowing quick and convenient setup without tools or screws.

To protect eyes tired from long hours of work, the monitors support the 'Intelligent Eye Care' function certified by the global testing and certification organization TUV Rheinland. They also apply an ergonomic stand design, enabling free height adjustment (HAS), tilt, and pivot for horizontal and vertical rotation to match eye level.
