Samsung’s 2026 OLED TVs add Nvidia G-SYNC for your setup

New OLED models are set to support G-SYNC Compatible plus high refresh rates up to 165Hz, aimed at reducing visual glitches in fast games.

Samsung says Nvidia G-SYNC Compatible is coming to its 2026 OLED TV lineup, starting with the OLED S95H, S90H, and S85H. If you game on a GeForce PC, it’s a straightforward upgrade that targets screen tearing and uneven motion.

The company says the S95H and S90H can run up to 165Hz, while the S85H tops out at 120Hz. Fast panels matter, so does keeping frames and refresh in step.

Samsung also says the lineup keeps AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which broadens variable refresh rate support beyond one GPU brand and helps stabilize HDR gameplay across different setups.

Three models get G-SYNC

Nvidia G-SYNC Compatible certification lets the TV match its refresh rate to the frame rate coming from an Nvidia GeForce GPU. That sync is what cuts tearing and reduces the hitchy look you can get when frame rates swing during heavy action.

This isn’t a universal switch for every Samsung TV. Samsung only calls out these three OLED models for G-SYNC Compatible in its 2026 lineup. That detail will matter once product pages and retailers start mixing generations.

Smooth motion, fewer distractions

Variable refresh rate features shine when performance isn’t perfectly steady, which is most games. With G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro both on the table, the bigger promise is consistency from scene to scene. The kind of improvement you notice most when it’s gone.

Samsung also points to image upgrades that can change how games look in a bright room. It says the 2026 OLED lineup adds HDR10+ ADVANCED to improve brightness, contrast, motion, and color accuracy. Samsung also says its Glare Free technology is included on the S95H and S90H to reduce reflections while keeping OLED image quality.

Buying details still missing

What Samsung doesn’t pin down here is timing, pricing, or regional availability for each model. Those are the anchors that usually decide a purchase, especially if you’re comparing against last year’s discounts.

For now, the practical move is to track listings for the exact model names, then confirm G-SYNC Compatible appears in the spec sheet and gaming settings once reviews and firmware details land. If you’re building a living-room PC setup, that verification step is worth it.

Your next Spotify song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.
