I was fully expecting a best gaming monitor contender to break the refresh rate speed barrier at CES 2026, but I figured we'd be treated to 700Hz models. Instead, Samsung has unleashed a bizarre 1040Hz version of its G6 screen that, quite honestly, feels like it'll benefit only the twitchiest esports monsters on the planet.
Dubbed the Samsung Odyssey G60H, this display is in fact "the world's first 1040Hz gaming monitor," which isn't surprising given that 600Hz was a novelty just last year. The leap will first and foremost benefit anyone who has one of the best gaming PCs on the planet, capable of boosting fps as far as possible, and trust me when I say your pricey Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 build potentially doesn't cut the mustard.
