Where 8K TVs Flopped, Samsung Hopes 6K Monitors Will Push Screens Forward

- ▪It can switch to a lower 3K resolution for faster gaming scenarios at 330Hz.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
While 8K resolutions on TVs didn’t change the game for big screens, Samsung still imagines a future where 4K is seen as old hat. We now have to consider the latest Odyssey G8 gaming monitor with support for 6K resolutions, promising sharper detail and crisper visuals in the paltry few games that support such high pixel counts. The new Samsung Odyssey G80HS is a 32-inch IPS LCD monitor that pushes the fabled 6K (6,144 x 3,456) resolution at 165Hz. With a flip of a switch, the monitor can drop its pixel count down to 3K (3,072 x 1,728) and 330Hz if you’re hoping for faster gaming scenarios. Higher resolutions will necessitate higher pixel counts, and the new G8 can max out at 224 PPI (pixels per inch).
