Samsung has officially confirmed that its upcoming line of OLED TVs for 2026 and new Odyssey monitors have received NVIDIA G-Sync certification. While this may sound like another technical novelty to many, it is actually an important step towards PC users equipped with the world's most popular graphics cards.
What is the difference between VRR and Nvidia's G-Sync?
It's worth clarifying one thing: the issue of "screen tearing" or lack of smoothness has already been addressed by technologies such as VRR and AMD FreeSync, which Samsung has supported for a long time. So why is support for G-Sync so important? First and foremost, because Nvidia graphics cards dominate the market, and the official G-Sync certification is a "quality stamp." This means that Nvidia engineers have tested these screens for hundreds of errors, image flickering, or refresh rate stability. For you, (users of GeForce cards), this means a guarantee that the television will work perfectly with your card without the need for manual "tinkering" in the settings due to issues with image flickering.
Models S95H, S90H and S85H – what do we know about the new series?
Official G-Sync support will be available across the entire main OLED lineup in 2026. Each of these models offers slightly different specifications, tailored to different needs:
Samsung S95H and S90H: These are premium designs, now offering a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz.
Samsung S85H: A more budget-friendly model, supporting a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Additionally, the higher models have received the HDR10+ Advanced standard, which is designed to manage brightness even better in supported games. If you are interested in
Extreme Refresh Rate in Odyssey G6 Monitors
In conjunction with the announcements about televisions, Samsung also showcased how far the boundaries in monitors can be pushed. The new Odyssey G6 (G60H) is an absolute record-breaker, capable of operating with a refresh rate of 1040 Hz in HD resolution. However, if you're after better sharpness, in QHD resolution this monitor offers 600 Hz. For those seeking perfect colours, a variation of the Odyssey G6 series has been prepared, namely the model G61SH. This is a monitor with a QD-OLED panel that offers 240 Hz in QHD resolution. All of these devices, of course, also have official support for Nvidia's technology.
For most gamers worldwide who use Nvidia cards, G-Sync certification is primarily about peace of mind. When purchasing a Samsung monitor or television from the 2026 series, you can be sure that once you connect your computer, everything will just work.
