Understanding the needs of dedicated gamers, Samsung has equipped the Odyssey OLED G6 with features aimed at prolonged use without compromising performance. The monitor achieves a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits, allowing for clear visibility even in well-lit environments. Additionally, Samsung's Glare Free technology minimises reflections, ensuring that distractions are kept to a minimum during intense gaming sessions.

To address concerns about OLED burn-in, the monitor incorporates Samsung's proprietary OLED Safeguard+ technology. This innovative solution utilises a pulsating heat pipe to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of image retention and prolonging the lifespan of the display.
