The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S is a 4k, 165Hz OLED gaming monitor. Part of Samsung's 2026 Odyssey gaming lineup, it sits below the Samsung Odyssey OLED G80SH S32HG802S, which has a higher refresh rate. That said, this monitor uses a dual-mode feature to boost its refresh rate to 330Hz with a lower 1080p resolution. Unlike most of Samsung's OLEDs, it has a glossy coating and uses LG Display's WOLED panel, competing with other dual-mode options that use the same panel, like the LG 32GS95UE-B and the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG. It has typical gaming features like FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatibility to reduce screen tearing, along with HDMI 2.1 ports to take advantage of the latest graphics cards and consoles. It also comes with an ergonomic stand, but it's otherwise limited in productivity features.
Our Verdict
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S is incredible for PC gaming. With a native 4k resolution and 165Hz refresh rate and a 1080p, 330Hz dual mode, it offers versatility for playing different types of games. Motion looks sharp at any refresh rate, it has low input lag for a responsive feel, and it supports all common VRR formats to reduce screen tearing. Besides that, it delivers excellent picture quality thanks to its deep blacks against bright highlights and no haloing around bright objects. It also displays a wide range of colors, but it struggles to display the most vivid colors. While its glossy coating results in clear images, it has mirror-like reflections, and the monitor doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S is fantastic for console gaming. It supports all common signals with modern consoles, including 4k up to 120Hz, except for Dolby Vision with an Xbox. Fast-moving objects look crisp thanks to its fast response time, and it has low input lag for a responsive feel at any refresh rate. Games look excellent as it has a near-infinite contrast ratio for deep blacks without any haloing around bright highlights. Plus, it displays a wide range of colors, but it fails to properly display the most vivid colors. It's also not the brightest monitor, so visibility is an issue if you have it in a well-lit room.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S is great for office use. It performs best in its 4k mode as letters look sharp, and its glossy coating makes text easy to read. It's fine if you want to use it in a moderately lit room, but it has mirror-like reflections, and it doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare in sunny offices. On the plus side, it has a very ergonomic stand, and its wide viewing angle helps if you need to share the 32-inch screen with someone next to you. It's limited in productivity perks otherwise, as it lacks USB ports to which you can connect your devices.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S is a fantastic gaming monitor. It offers versatility for different types of gamers thanks to its dual-mode feature that goes from 4k, 165Hz to 1080p, 330Hz. Like any OLED gaming monitor, it provides sharp motion alongside fantastic picture quality with deep blacks, no haloing around bright objects, and highlights that pop. However, unlike many Samsung displays, it uses a WOLED panel that has less vivid colors than QD-OLED options, like the Samsung Odyssey OLED G81SF S27FG810S. It's also different in the fact that it has a glossy coating, resulting in clearer images, but has more mirror-like reflections, compared to Samsung monitors with matte coatings.
It's a solid alternative to dual-mode 4k gaming options with higher refresh rates, like the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG, if your computer can't maintain high frame rates. However, despite its lower refresh rate, it doesn't come with much of a lower price tag, so it doesn't offer much value at its price point. It's only worth getting if you can find it for less than similar dual-mode displays.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G81SF S27FG810S are both 4k OLED gaming monitors. There are a few differences between them, mainly due to their panel types and specs. The G81SF uses a QD-OLED panel with improved color purity and better color volume than the G73SH. Plus, the G81SF has a higher native refresh rate, and it includes a small USB hub, which the G73SH doesn't have. On the other hand, the WOLED panel of the G73SH does a better job at maintaining low black levels in bright rooms. The G73SH also has a dual-mode feature to boost its refresh rate to 330Hz with a lower 1080p resolution. Besides that, they have different coatings, with the matte coating of the G81SF resulting in less mirror-like reflections, and the glossy coating of the G73SH having clearer images.
The LG 39GX950B-B and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S are both OLED gaming monitors. They each have dual-mode features that go from 165Hz with their native resolutions to 330Hz with a lower 1080p resolution. Although the LG has a bigger screen with a higher resolution, the pixel density is nearly the same between them, and text looks sharp on either. There are some differences in picture quality, though, as the LG uses a Tandem OLED panel with more vivid colors and gets brighter. The LG also uses a matte coating that's more effective at minimizing reflections, while the glossy coating of the Samsung results in clearer images.
The LG 32GS95UE-B and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S are both 4k OLED gaming monitors with dual-mode features.

They also have different screen coatings, as the matte coating of the LG is better at reducing reflections, while the glossy coating of the Samsung has clearer images. The LG has some extra perks, like a small USB hub, which the Samsung doesn't have.
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G73SH S32HG732S are both 4k OLED gaming monitors with dual-mode features. The main difference between them comes down to their refresh rates, with the ASUS having a higher refresh rate in its 1080p and 4k modes. The ASUS gets brighter and has some extra perks, like a small USB hub, which the Samsung doesn't have. Otherwise, they perform very similarly.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
