At this exhibition, Samsung Electronics will unveil the new Odyssey G7 model (model name G75F) and expand its lineup of large gaming monitors. There will be a total of two models: a 37-inch 4K UHD (16:9 aspect ratio) and a 40-inch 5K2K WUHD (21:9 aspect ratio).

The Odyssey G7 features a 1000R curvature for an immersive gaming experience, and supports high refresh rates of up to 180Hz (40-inch) and 165Hz (37-inch), as well as a fast 1ms response time (GTG standard). It is equipped with the latest gaming features, including 'HDR10+ Gaming' for optimal HDR quality, 'CoreSync' which matches the rear lighting and color of the product to the on-screen colors, and 'Auto Source Switch Plus' that automatically switches to the screen of connected IT devices.

The 37-inch and 40-inch Odyssey G7 models will be released sequentially starting this month in Korea, followed by North America, Europe, and other global markets.

Visitors to the Samsung Electronics booth can experience Netmarble's upcoming title "MonGil: Star Dive" and Shift Up's popular game "Stellar Blade" in 3D mode using the Odyssey 3D monitor. The Odyssey 3D supports features such as 'Focal Distance Adjustment,' which adjusts the depth of 3D by changing the distance between the camera and the focus reference, and '3D Settings,' which optimizes 3D stereoscopic effects by recognizing left-right parallax, providing an optimized 3D gaming environment. Samsung Electronics has formed partnerships with Netmarble and Shift Up to expand the selection of 3D games available on the Odyssey 3D monitor.

According to market research firm IDC, Samsung Electronics achieved an 18.9% market share by value in the global gaming monitor market with refresh rates of 144Hz or higher in the first quarter of this year, putting the company on the verge of ranking first for the seventh consecutive year.

Jung Hoon, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, said, "We will continue to lead the premium gaming monitor market by enhancing not only hardware performance but also expanding partnerships with game companies to create optimized gaming environments for each game."
