Samsung showcased four new Odyssey gaming monitors at Gamescom, headlined by the 27-inch Odyssey G6, which it calls the world's first 1,100Hz display, achievable at 1080p with a 1ms response time. The lineup also includes the 32-inch 4K Odyssey OLED G8 with switchable refresh rates up to 680Hz, and a 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 offering 360Hz at DQHD resolution or 720Hz in a lower-resolution mode. The G6 is slated for release in the second half of 2026, with pricing for all models still unannounced.

Switching to Overview mode or rolling back Maps updates offers partial workarounds, but neither fully restores normal functionality.
