Entering the World of 3D Gaming on the Odyssey 3D
The new Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) 27' monitor introduces a groundbreaking 3D gaming experience that does not require dedicated glasses. Advanced eye-tracking technology and a proprietary lenticular lens deliver a natural-looking high-definition 3D image, accessible through the Reality Hub app,[2] which makes the action jump out of the screen to bring new energy and immersion to games and video content.
Samsung is actively collaborating with major game developers to make the most out of this 3D technology. These collaborations include: Nexon for The First Berserker: Khazan
Neowiz for the critically acclaimed Lies of P. The company's first downloadable content (DLC), Overture, is scheduled for release this summer.
The partnering developers now have an unprecedented level of control over 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision. Samsung plans to continuously expand its partnerships with more global game studios.
In addition to 3D gaming, the Odyssey 3D features AI video conversion, which can transform video content into 3D, breathing new life into nearly all content.[3] Every scene of compatible content is analyzed and converted to 3D for consistent 3D effects with less eye strain.
The Odyssey 3D also boasts impressive gaming performance. A 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time keep gaming responsive and smooth on its 4K screen, while AMD FreeSync™ Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible reduce choppiness and screen lag, even during fast and complex gameplay.
Edge Lighting takes 3D immersion to the next level by filling the gaming environment with lighting that adapts to games. It fills the space under the monitor with colors that synchronize with the screen's lighting, enhancing the 3D screen and bringing game environments into real life.
Odyssey OLED G8 Features Highest Pixel Density on a 27'' Screen
The unmatched picture quality of OLED gets a performance boost on the new Odyssey OLED G8(G81SF model). Available in 27' and 32' models, the 27' has 166 pixels-per-inch — the industry's highest pixel density for a screen that size — and the industry's first 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. Both sizes of the OLED G8 bring groundbreaking performance and visual quality together.
The new 4K QD-OLED visuals deliver amazing details, with enhanced colors and contrast ratio from any viewing angle thanks to quantum dot technology. Boosted by VESA DisplayHDR™ TrueBlack 400, it delivers near-infinite contrast that makes vibrant colors pop, even at the high, typically 250nit brightness. Glare Free technology certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) allows the screen to produce less reflection, reducing distractions during use.
The screen's image is protected by Samsung OLED Safeguard+. The proprietary Dynamic Cooling System uses the industry-first Pulsating Heat Pipe to diffuse heat five times better than standard graphite sheets, without adjusting brightness. This protects the screen from burn-in, prolonging the life of the screen.
The 240Hz refresh rate and .03ms GtG response time make the Odyssey OLED G8 a top performance gaming monitor, with fast and smooth screen movements. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible to prevent stuttering, tearing and jittering. These performance features combine to make gaming ultra smooth, responsive and immersive.
The Odyssey OLED G8 also makes a stylish addition to any gaming setup. The slim metal design fits any aesthetic, while Core Lighting+ surrounds the user with lighting based on the screen. And it's all easy to set up, thanks to the ergonomic stand.
Odyssey G9 Allows More Gamers To Experience Curved Ultrawide Gaming
The Odyssey G9 (G91F model) brings ultrawide gaming to more people with a simplified approach that does not sacrifice performance. Its 49'' Dual QHD display features a 1000R curve, wrapping high-quality visuals and exciting gameplay around the user.
A 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time keep gameplay responsive and quick, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro allows the action to flow without tearing or stuttering. The VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification brings colors to vivid life with clarity, while HDR10+ GAMING enhances the screen with optimized brightness, contrast and color range for a dynamic picture.
The Odyssey G9 also delivers exceptional multitasking ability, with Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture features. With these, two different devices can be viewed at the same time, with flexible size options available in Picture-in-Picture mode. The Odyssey G9 also helps users get to games faster with the Auto Source Switch+, which detects connected devices and automatically displays them when they are turned on.
ViewFinity S8 Encapsulates Comfort and Efficiency
In addition to the 2025 gaming monitors, Samsung is launching the 37' ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model), the largest 16:9 4K Samsung monitor to date. With a screen approximately 34% larger than the previous model, the ViewFinity S8 maximizes productivity and efficiency on its 4K screen. HDR10 and the ability to accurately portray 1 billion colors give professionals the tools to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
The ViewFinity S8 is designed for comfort and efficiency. Its ergonomic design is certified by TÜV Rheinland as an Ergonomic Workspace Display, and its Intelligent Eye Care is TÜV-certified for reducing strain on users' eyes.[4] Devices can be connected to use for work through a 90W USB-C connection, and multiple inputs can be controlled on the monitor with a keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch, making it easy to connect work and leisure devices to the multipurpose monitor.

UK CPI rises again, inches closer to 4% - Middle East Business News and Information
By Daniela Sabin Hathorn, senior market analyst at UK inflation for July comes in higher across the board, giving the pound a mid-week boost after some downside emerged earlier this week. Both headline and core CPI come in at 3.8%, above forecasts for 3.7%, whilst the monthly readings came in at 0.1% and 0.2% respectively. Seasonal factors are likely contributing to the CPI uptick with increased travel and leisure demand putting upward pressure on prices. However, services inflation continues to be a persistent and sticky component of the UK's inflationary pressures. This sector remains a central focus, as domestic inflation has not subsided meaningfully despite weaker economic growth relative to regions like the U.S. This renewed uptick in consumer prices puts more pressure on the Bank of England. The previous meeting highlighted the difficult task of steering monetary policy in the current economic environment, with an inconclusive vote leading to a second round of voting for the first time ever. In the end, the decision leaned towards a 25bps cut, but the margin was very slim, with four members still opting to keep rates unchanged. This latest CPI reading may complicate things further, as rising inflation has been a key issue for the past few months. It is true that the GDP data came in stronger-than-expected last week, which may have eased some of the fears about stagflation, but sentiment around the UK economy remains fragile at a time when rates remain in restrictive territory, but inflation is proving hard to beat. For now, markets are pricing in just 13bps of easing from the BoE from here until the end of the year, which means not even one more 25bps cut is fully priced in right now. As a comparison, markets a pricing in two more 25bps from the Federal Reserve in the next quarter. As for the pound, the latest CPI reading provides a short-term boost as it reinforces the UK's positive carry trade against other currencies if rates are kept high. However, sentiment will depend on how the outlook for the UK economy evolves, and persistent inflation is likely to become a detriment if growth can't keep up. GBP/USD is back above 1.35 with some positive momentum coming from the release this morning, however, with the dollar regaining some ground, the pair looks like it may continue to slide in the short-term, with the 1.36 resistance level still intact. GBP/USD daily chart: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
