Samsung Built a 1,100Hz Gaming Monitor because Apparently 600Hz Wasn’t Fast Enough

Samsung says the 27-inch monitor can hit 1,100Hz in HD mode and 600Hz at native QHD, targeting competitive FPS players.

  • At Gamescom 2026, Samsung detailed its 27-inch Odyssey G60H, the world's first gaming monitor capable of reaching 1,100Hz refresh rate, targeting competitive players with specialized Dual Mode performance.
  • Following the prototype revealed ahead of CES last year, Samsung's final production model delivers a significant refresh rate boost, pushing the maximum specification to 1,100Hz from the earlier 1,040Hz announcement.
  • Utilizing a 27-inch QHD Fast IPS panel that tops out at 600Hz, users can engage Dual Mode to switch to FHD resolution, unlocking the maximum 1,100Hz refresh rate for esports play.
  • Alongside the G60H, Samsung announced its 2027 Odyssey lineup at Gamescom, claiming several monitors feature "world-first innovations" across display speeds, including new 32-inch and 49-inch Odyssey OLED screens.
  • Global availability for the Odyssey G60H is planned for the second half of 2026, though Samsung has not yet announced specific pricing, noting that availability will vary by market.
