Samsung monitors: Odyssey, ViewFinity and Smart Monitor
Samsung monitors fall into three main families. Odyssey is the gaming line, from Full HD Odyssey G3 and G4 models at 200 Hz to 300 Hz, through QHD G5 and OLED G6 screens, to 4K Mini-LED Neo G7 and Neo G8 models and the 49-inch OLED G9 super ultrawide. ViewFinity suits work and creative use, with the QHD S6, the 4K S7 and S8, the 40-inch 5K2K S8 and the 5K S9 with Thunderbolt 4.
Smart Monitor models such as the M5 and the 43-inch M7 have built-in streaming apps and work without a computer. For everyday desks, the Essential S3 and G3 monitors offer Full HD at 100 Hz to 144 Hz, and curved options include the G5 and 34-inch G55T. Free pickup is available from our stores in Nicosia, Limassol and Pafos.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Samsung Odyssey, ViewFinity and Smart Monitor?
Odyssey monitors are built for gaming, with high refresh rates that reach 360 Hz on the Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD. ViewFinity models prioritise resolution and colour for office and creative work, from QHD up to 5K. Smart Monitors run streaming apps and can work without a computer, which suits rooms where one screen handles both work and entertainment.
Should I choose an OLED, Mini-LED or IPS Samsung monitor?
OLED models such as the Odyssey OLED G6, G8 and G9 light each pixel individually for deep blacks and very fast response, ideal for gaming and dark scenes. Mini-LED models like the Odyssey Neo G7 and Neo G8 use many small backlight zones for high brightness. IPS panels offer consistent colour and wide viewing angles, while VA panels give stronger contrast. On OLED, avoid leaving static images on screen for very long periods.
Do I need DisplayPort for the highest refresh rate?
Often, yes. On the Odyssey G4 G40H, for example, the 300 Hz refresh rate is reached over DisplayPort, while HDMI tops out at 240 Hz. To get the highest refresh rate on a gaming monitor, check that your graphics card and cable support it, and use the connection listed for the maximum rate in the specifications.
