It’s Monday morning, February 2, 2026, and if you’re a gamer who treats screen tearing like a personal insult, Samsung just cleared the air. They’ve officially announced that their entire 2026 OLED TV lineup and the new Odyssey monitors (the G60H and G61SH) are now Nvidia G-SYNC Compatible.

The thing is, we’re not just talking about “smooth” anymore. We’re talking about a 27-inch monitor that hits 1,040Hz. Or nothing.

The Samsung 2026 Display Drop: Field Notes

It’s an ongoing situation where the line between “TV” and “Professional Gaming Rig” has basically vanished. Here’s the ground reality:

  • The 1,040Hz Freak Show: The Odyssey G6 (G60H) is pulling a wild stunt. It runs at native QHD (1440p) at 600Hz, but if you drop it to HD, it hits 1,040Hz. Let’s be real—your eyes probably can’t even track that, but for esports pros, it’s the new gold standard. Those too.

  • HDR10+ Advanced vs. The World: Samsung is still refusing to pay the “Dolby Tax.” Instead, they’ve launched HDR10+ Advanced. It’s their answer to Dolby Vision 2. It uses AI to tweak brightness scene-by-scene and is built for those monster panels that now hit 5,000 nits.

  • The “G-SYNC” Seal: Getting the Nvidia stamp for the S95H, S90H, and S85H OLED TVs means no more stuttering when you plug in your RTX 50-series rig. It’s an “out of the box” promise that the GPU and TV will actually talk to each other.

  • Burn-in Fix? And here’s the kicker—the new Odyssey OLEDs feature “OLED Safeguard+” which uses a pulsating heat pipe system. It supposedly diffuses heat 5x better than old graphite sheets. No more ghosting of your HUD after a 6-hour session. Or nothing.

Samsung’s 2026 Gaming Specs: Quick Look

Model Type Max Refresh Rate Key Feature
Odyssey G60H 27″ IPS 1,040Hz (HD) / 600Hz (QHD) Dual Mode, G-Sync, 1ms GtG
Odyssey G61SH 27″ QD-OLED 240Hz (QHD) Glare Free, 0.03ms GtG, Safeguard+
S95H / S90H OLED TV 165Hz (4K) HDR10+ Advanced, Glare Free
S85H OLED TV 120Hz (4K) G-Sync Compatible, Entry Pro

And Here’s the Kicker…

The HDR10+ Advanced isn’t just about movies. It includes “Intelligent Gaming” mode. The thing is, it uses the TV’s ambient light sensor to adjust your game’s tone mapping in real-time. If the sun comes out and hits your screen, the TV boosts the dark areas of the game so you don’t get sniped by someone hiding in a shadow. Those too.

One side comment—the format war is getting messy. Xbox is still team Dolby Vision, while PlayStation 5 and Amazon Prime Video are leaning into the HDR10+ camp. You’re basically picking a side in a war every time you buy a remote. It’s an ongoing situation. Or nothing.
