Samsung launched four new 'Samsung Odyssey' gaming monitors at Gamescom 2022. The four monitors are the 'G70B' and 'G65B.' Each monitor is available in both 27-inch and 32-inch sizes, resulting in four new monitor varieties.
The G70B is a 4k-resolution, 144hz refresh rate IPS monitor with 1ms response times and a flat display panel. The G65B, on the other hand, is a 1440p monitor with a 200hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a 1000R curved display panel.
One notable feature on the new G7 and G6 Odyssey monitors from Samsung is that they feature Samsung's Gaming Hub built directly into the monitor. The hub is accessible from physical buttons on the monitor, or from a remote, and it provides access to smart applications such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or even game-streaming applications such as Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, the Gaming Hub allows for the user to adjust settings such as screen ratio, response time, and more.
