Samsung’s OLED TVs are finally getting Nvidia G-Sync support

Nvidia G-Sync, the company’s proprietary anti-tearing frame sync feature, is no longer just for monitors. To be honest, that wasn’t the case. just for monitors for a long time. Many gaming laptops and some high-end LG TVs have supported this technology since 2019. Today, however, Samsung says all its new OLED screens (Odyssey monitors and televisions) are compatible with G-Sync.

G-Sync is especially useful when you’re playing a graphics-intensive game and the frame rate is constantly dropping below your display’s maximum refresh rate. By synchronizing the screen refresh with the images output from your PC (meaning the refresh rate itself decreases as needed), you get a smoother viewing experience without tearing. G-Sync is a proprietary version of the technology sometimes called variable refresh rate. (AMD’s version, open on almost any display, is called FreeSync.)

Samsung says new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors for 2026 will support G-Sync, which no longer requires dedicated hardware on the monitor side. This flexibility also allows it to work with Samsung’s 2026 OLED TVs, with the S85H, S90H and S95H announced at CES 2026 all being highlighted. Depending on the specific model and size, the refresh rates of these OLED TVs range between 120Hz and 160Hz.

There have always been PC gamers who have connected their desktops or laptops to living room TVs, and many use smaller, high-end TVs as alternatives to large monitors. But I think the trend is growing, especially since devices like the Steam Deck and its various portable alternatives are so easy to connect to TVs and turn into big-screen gaming machines. The second-generation Steam Machine expected in a few months (with an AMD GPU, so FreeSync instead of G-Sync) could bring even more attention to PC gaming on larger TVs.
