Summary in 10 SecondsSamsung’s new 6K resolution Odyssey G8 G80HS model is available for pre-order in Europe with a price tag of 1,499 Euros. While the device offers a 165Hz refresh rate at 6K resolution, it can go up to 330Hz thanks to the Dual Mode feature. The monitor, which stands out with its DisplayPort 2.1 support, appeals to both gamers and professionals with its flat IPS panel structure. While the competition in the monitor market is getting sharper day by day, Samsung has made its new move that raises the bar to the next level.
The company’s highly anticipated 6K resolution giant screen Odyssey G8 G80HS has finally started to appear in the European market. This new monster, whose model code is S32HG806ES, was designed specifically to meet the expectations regarding pixel density and speed. This monitor, which was announced before CES 2026 and has been on the radar of the technology world since then, goes beyond conventional 4K panels and offers a huge working area of 6144 × 3456 pixels.
Samsung’s choice of a flat IPS panel instead of OLED in this model shows that it targets both professionals looking for color accuracy and users who are afraid of the effect of static images on the panel. The new name of 6K resolution and hybrid performance, Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HS not only offers high resolution, but also has a very flexible structure in terms of refresh rate. Dual Mode, the most striking feature of the device, allows the user to switch between two different worlds.
Offering a 165Hz refresh rate at full 6K resolution, the monitor can increase the refresh rate to full 330Hz by increasing the resolution to 3072×1728 for competitive players who want higher speed. This flexibility makes the monitor an ideal tool for graphic design or video editing during the day and for fast-paced e-sports games at night. Technical details and image quality Using IPS technology on the panel side, Samsung minimizes delays with a 1ms GtG response time.
The screen, whose typical brightness value is stated as 350 cd/m², exhibits a standard IPS performance with a static contrast ratio of 1000:1. On the color depth and dynamic range side, HDR10 and HDR10 Gaming support has not been forgotten. In addition, thanks to NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certifications, a smooth experience is aimed by preventing screen tearing. The sharpness offered by this 32-inch screen will make its difference especially in text clarity and detailed drawings.
Connection options and ergonomics Equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 input to fully benefit from the power of the new generation graphics cards, G80HS eliminates bandwidth bottlenecks. There are also two HDMI inputs and a USB 3.2 connection center on the back of the device. Ports include a USB-B upstream port, two USB-A ports and a headphone jack. However, it is worth noting that the USB-C connection, built-in speakers and webcam, which are frequently sought in modern installations, are not available in this model.
On the ergonomics side, Samsung has been quite generous. Thanks to the stand design, you can tilt the screen, adjust its height, rotate it left and right, or use it in pivot mode by placing it vertically. Price and release date This upper segment monitor from Samsung was listed in Europe with a price tag of 1,499 Euros. Shipments of the Odyssey G8 G80HS, which is currently in the pre-order process, are expected to start on June 19.
This model, which is the highest resolution member of the triple Odyssey G8 series (along with the 27-inch 5K G80HF and 32-inch 4K QD-OLED G80SH) that Samsung announced in December, represents a strong alternative to competitors such as Apple Studio Display with its higher refresh rate and gamer-oriented features. Editor’s note Samsung’s entry into the 6K market ushers in an era in which high resolution and high refresh rate no longer have to be sacrificed for each other.
DisplayPort 2.1 support is one of the most important elements that make this monitor future-ready. For users who want to combine their professional workflow with their passion for gaming on a single screen, the price of 1,499 Euros remains at an acceptable level considering the Dual Mode flexibility it offers.
