Samsung's new 1440p gaming monitor sports a ridiculous 600 Hz refresh rate but that's nothing compared to the 1040 Hz it can do in 1080p mode

In the world of gaming monitors, it's quite hard to stand out in the crowd if you're trying to tempt gamers to part with their money. But if you're Samsung, then the solution seems to be 'go big'—not in size, but in terms of refresh rate and pixels, with one new model running at 1040 Hz and the other sporting a ludicrous 6K resolution.The monitors in question are Samsung's Odyssey G6 G60H and Odyssey G8 G80HS. Simple names, not so simple specs. In the case of the former, you get a 27-inch IPS panel that defaults to 1440p with a staggering 600 Hz refresh rate. But if that's not speedy enough for you, the G60H sports a 'dual mode' where it correctly scales to 1080p and hits a heady 1,040 Hz. A 'world's first' according to Samsung.
