For gamers who live for immersive visuals and smooth performance, Samsung made waves at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany (August 20–24) by unveiling its latest Odyssey G7 monitors. Available in 37-inch 4K UHD and an expansive 40-inch Wide UHD (WUHD) model, these new displays aren’t just larger—they’re designed to transform how you experience games.
Setting the Stage: Samsung’s Market Dominance
Samsung is not just a participant in the gaming monitor space—it’s the leader. The company has held the #1 global gaming monitor brand title for six years running. IDC’s Q1 2025 report shows Samsung controlling 18.9% of the worldwide market and an even stronger 24.6% in Europe. The debut of the Odyssey G7 lineup only strengthens this leadership position.
Hoon Chung, Executive VP at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the company’s commitment:
“Our latest products and partnerships aim to deliver more authentic gameplay with optimized 3D effects for each title. We’ll continue leading the premium monitor segment through enhanced performance and deeper collaborations with game developers.”
Odyssey G7: Performance Meets Scale
The new Odyssey G7 G75F comes in two versions:
- 37” 4K UHD (3,840×2,160), classic 16:9 aspect ratio.
- 40” WUHD (5,120×2,160), cinematic 21:9—Samsung’s first ultra-wide 5K2K display.
Key highlights include:
- VESA DisplayHDR 600, HDR10+ Gaming, and 350 nits brightness for vivid detail.
- AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro for seamless, tear-free gameplay.
- CoreSync lighting that adapts your room’s ambiance to match on-screen content.
- Auto Source Switch+, instantly detecting connected devices.
- Connectivity: 1x DisplayPort 1.4 + 2x HDMI 2.1.
- Fully adjustable stand (height, tilt, swivel).
These aren’t just technical specs—they’re quality-of-life upgrades that make a gaming setup more immersive, more efficient, and more future-ready.

Odyssey 3D: Glasses-Free Depth
Samsung also highlighted its Odyssey 3D (G90XF) monitor, offering glasses-free 3D visuals. This isn’t the old-school 3D effect—it’s customizable, with adjustable depth and optimized rendering per game.
At Gamescom, attendees could try out “Stellar Blade” and Netmarble’s “MONGIL: STAR DIVE” in 3D, while the Odyssey 3D Hub already supports over 25 games—expected to expand to 50+ titles by year’s end.
For players craving realism, this is more than a display—it’s a step into new dimensions without extra hardware.
Odyssey OLED: The Speed Demons
Samsung also showcased its Odyssey OLED series, built for ultra-responsive gameplay:
- Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) → blistering 500Hz refresh rate.
- Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) → sharp 4K resolution at 240Hz.
These were featured in partnership booths—Blizzard’s World of Warcraft stations (80+ setups) ran on G6 models, while Pearl Abyss’s Crimson Desert (180+ setups) used both G6 and G8, proving their performance in live environments.
Hands-On at Gamescom
Visitors could try Genshin Impact on the new G7 monitors at Samsung’s booth (Hall 9, Floor 1). Beyond demos, Samsung also hosted The World of #PlayGalaxy experience (Aug 22–23, Dock2 Cologne), where attendees explored Galaxy Z Fold7, Odyssey 3D, and more—all in interactive setups designed to showcase synergy between Samsung’s devices and gaming experiences.
