Samsung Electronics Unveils New Odyssey OLED, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity Lineups

Next-level OLED experiences get prevention from burn-in with new proprietary technology on latest Odyssey OLED series, all from the no.1 Global OLED Monitor brand

Smart features powered by AI bring enhanced entertainment to Smart Monitor M8 and Odyssey OLED G8, while new ViewFinity models enable for more efficient workplaces

Sydney, Australia – June 6, 2024 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the global launch of its 2024 Odyssey OLED gaming monitor, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity monitor lineups. With a monitor for almost every Australian lifestyle and passion, Samsung’s 2024 range delivers premium monitors bolstered by a range of powerful AI driven features, bringing enhancements to deliver new experiences across the lineup[1].

The Odyssey range brings a next-level OLED experience and new AI capabilities[2] to the Odyssey OLED G8 – setting a new standard in gaming technology from the Global No.1 OLED Monitor brand[3]. The new range also unveils a refreshed Smart Monitor lineup with more enhanced entertainment features[4], as well as the Smart Monitor M8 being powered by AI. Rounding out the lineup is the all new ViewFinity range which is set to take creative connectivity to new heights.

“Our latest monitor lineups deliver a breadth of options to Australians offering more seamless experiences, with new enhancements for work, living and entertainment at home. From the groundbreaking AI-powered Odyssey OLED range to multi-device experiences in the Smart Monitor and ViewFinity models, Samsung remains committed to redefining the market and delivering cutting-edge technologies to Australians consumers,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director – Display, Brand and Memory, Samsung Electronic Australia.

Odyssey OLED Series: Visual Excellence with New Burn-In Prevention Features

The 2024 Odyssey OLED models expand Samsung’s offerings of next-generation OLED performance with the new Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model).

The new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors are the next entry to expand Samsung’s OLED monitor market leadership. The Odyssey range release comes after Samsung achieved the top position in global sales in the OLED monitor market within only one year of launching its first OLED model[5]. This achievement underscores Samsung’s rapid ascent in the competitive landscape of OLED monitors while reinforcing its commitment to diversifying its gaming monitor lineup with models that leverage the company’s proprietary OLED technology.

The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32” Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time for ultra-smooth and responsive gameplay, while also being bolstered with G-Sync to help eliminate tearing and stuttering for smooth, rich visuals.

The new Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor powered by AI. The NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which is the same processor Samsung uses in its 2024 8K TV, upscales content to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub[6] and the monitor’s native Smart TV apps for higher resolution in gaming and entertainment[7].

The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, supporting a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms (GtG) response time make it easy for gamers to keep up with fast-moving gameplay.

Both new OLED models feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a new Samsung proprietary burn-in protection technology. This technology is the first in the world to help prevent burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor. Additionally, the Dynamic Cooling System evaporates and condenses a coolant to diffuse heat four times more than the older graphite sheet method, which helps prevent burn-in by reducing temperature at the core[8]. The monitor can also detect static images like logos and taskbars, automatically reducing their brightness to provide another means of burn-in prevention[9].

The Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6 both deliver brilliant OLED picture quality with a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.), while FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display panel synced up to minimise choppiness, screen lag and screen tearing.

Samsung’s new OLED Anti-Glare technology[10] also helps preserve colour accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to ensure an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimised, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialised hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.

Both monitors feature a super slim metal design that gives them a distinct identity, while Core Lighting+ enhances entertainment and gaming experiences with ambient lighting that synchronises with the screen. The ergonomic stand also makes long sessions comfortable with adjustable height, plus tilt and swivel support.

Smart Monitor M8: AI Processing for Crystal Clear Video and Audio

The updated Smart Monitor lineup brings together a complete multi-device experience into one hub for smarter entertainment and greater productivity. The upgraded 2024 models include the M8 (M80D model), M7 (M70D model), and the M5 (M50D model).

The upgraded 32” 4K UHD Smart Monitor M8 introduces new features powered by AI with the NQM AI processor, taking entertainment experiences to the next level. AI upscaling brings lower resolution content up to nearly 4K[11], and Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyse background noise in the user’s environment to optimise dialogue in the user’s content[12]. 360 Audio Mode[13] is available on the M8, which pairs with compatible Galaxy Buds to create an immersive sound environment. The built-in SlimFit Camera also makes it easy to conduct video calls through mobile applications with Samsung Dex[14].

New to the entire line of Smart Monitors is a Workout Tracker,[15] which pairs with a compatible Galaxy Watch to enable real-time health data on the screen, even while streaming content. This makes it easy to track workout goals and can make working out more enjoyable.

These new features enhance the already impressive Smart Monitor functionality. Smart TV apps and Samsung TV Plus[16] provide instant access to a wide range of streaming services and live content, without needing to boot up a PC or connect to other devices[17].

The M7 is available in 32” and 43”[18] with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 300 nits (Typ.) and a gray to gray (GtG) response time of 4ms. The M5 is available in 27” and 32”, with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080), a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.) and a response time of 4ms (GtG).

ViewFinity Series: Maximising Creativity and Ease of Use

Optimised for creatives and professionals, the latest ViewFinity lineup includes the ViewFinity S8 (S80UD), ViewFinity S7 (S70D model) and the ViewFinity S6 (S60UDIn 2024, the S60UD comes ready with a Daisy Chaining feature, enabling multiple monitors to be connected with a single connection – with as many as four screens at a single workstation, allowing for users to duplicate or extend content with ease.

The Easy Setup Stand is put together with one quick click, requiring no tools or screws, making it fast and easy to set up and enjoy the ViewFinity’s vibrant display. Every 2024 ViewFinity monitor supports HDR10 and the display of 1 billion colours, ensuring accurate colour representation, while also integrating TÜV-Rheinland-certified Intelligent Eye Care features to help alleviate eye strain during prolonged work periods[19].

The ViewFinity S8 offers 27” and 32” screen options, each with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a refresh rate of 60Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.). They also feature a USB hub for easy connectivity and a height-adjustable stand. The S80UD model includes a new KVM switch for easy connection and switching between two different input devices, as well as a USB-C port that allows users to charge devices with up to 90W of power.

The ViewFinity S7 is available in 27” and 32” options, each with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.) and a refresh rate of 60Hz. The ViewFinity S6 is available in 24”, 27” and 32” options, each with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a refresh rate of 100Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.), including a USB hub and height-adjustable stand.

ARK: Survival Ascended Releases the Fiery Pyromane DLC and Massive Free Map ‘The Center’

ARK: SURVIVAL ASCENDED INTRODUCES ‘FANTASTIC TAMES’, A FANTASY CREATURE SERIES LED BY THE FIERY PYROMANE ALONGSIDE FREE ‘THE CENTER’ EXPANSION MAP, AND PREMIUM MODS LAUNCH ON PLAYSTATION 5

From Majestic Predator to Loyal Shoulder-Mount This Dynamic Feline Is a Scorching Addition to Any ARK Army!

SEATTLE, WA – June 5, 2024 – Today, Studio Wildcard revealed the ARK Fantastic Tames – Pyromane, the first of a new DLC series of fantasy creatures for ARK: Survival Ascended. The Pyromane gives owners access to many unique abilities as this feline can quickly transform from a shoulder-mounted flame-throwing kitten, into a full-sized rideable lion that sets enemies ablaze! Each Fantastic Tame creature class boasts unique abilities, as a kitten, Pyromane serves as a flamethrower; throw it, and it becomes a full-sized lion. Ride it through lava fields, ignite enemies at will, and dash explosively through targets, leaving fiery trails. It can even cook raw meat and fuel forges. Additional Fantastic Tames are planned to be introduced later this year.

Additionally, The Center expansion map has been released for cross-platform play on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. This free update features a sprawling new map, double the size of the standard ARK Island, featuring tons of uncharted territories and surprises to discover. The never-before-seen Shastasaurus, found roaming The Center,  is a massive but friendly underwater beast which comes with a special saddle equipped with a submarine pouch!

The Center was the first ever community modded map when it arrived on ARK: Survival Evolved. With its upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 in ASA it also introduces a brand-new dinosaur, the Shastasaurus. Chosen by community vote, the Shasta is a huge underwater beast that looks scarier than it truly is, curiously swimming up to humans without attacking! This beast of burden can carry an insane amount of weight, even featuring a special ‘submarine’ saddle allowing riders to breathe and survive the intense deep ocean pressure. Fully equipped with a submarine scope for players to see enemies above the water, the scope is also essential to see oncoming underwater combat torpedoes that deliver heavy explosive damage.

Premium Mods are now available for PlayStation 5 players, joining the already available ones on Xbox Series X|S and PC, marking a groundbreaking milestone as ASA becomes the first game to enable professionally created Premium Mods to be sold to console players. This now enables creators and game studios to deploy, sell, and update their content directly to consoles dynamically.

Following various workshops and face-offs, they will progressively build a Donk or Lowrider car and impose their style. New gameplay features will also be introduced, such as the “Car Dance”, a rhythm-based game mode tied to Lowriders’ unique abilities, and the “Street Versus”, a performance-based mode between Donk cars on a dragstrip. More information about The Crew Motorfest’s Season 4 will be shared at the end of June, including the full list of new events, vehicles, and quality of life improvements.

Additionally, players will get to celebrate the arrival of highly anticipated car manufacturers in The Crew Motorfest on June 12th, with Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Lancia bringing 17 new vehicles to the festival, including two brand-new cars: the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (1968) and the Alfa Romeo GIULIA GTAm (2021). To celebrate this news, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (1968) will be available as a Twitch Drop Reward during Ubisoft Forward. The car will also be available in The Crew Motorfest shop on June 13.

But that’s not all – more major surprises are on their way! To learn more about The Crew Motorfest’s Year 2 content, players can tune-in to the Ubisoft Forward conference on June 11.
