Long time lurker, first time poster. Please be nice. I'm fairly sure this is a good deal on a launch product. Personally, i'm holding off for a 49", but this will have an audience.

Third generation, 2024 Samsung QD-OLED monitor (LS27DG602SEXXY), only just launched on the Samsung Education store; not available yet on the main site. I'm unsure if available through other partner websites. Part of a 'Monitor One Launch' promotion that is a "Get 25% off new Monitors, with an extra 10% off when you bundle memory storage". The following 2024 monitors also available in the same deal (M80D, M70D, M50D, S80UD, S70UD, S60UD).

G6 Specs:
* QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440)
* Max 360Hz refresh rate
* OLED
* Advanced technologies to prevent burn-ins (whatever that means)

Cheapest RRP on memory is the Bar Plus USB 3.1 Flash Drive 64GB ($22). Personally, I'd go for something more functional.

Discounts include factoring:

  • $50 trade-in (find a free broken monitor on marketplace). Follow steps in check out.
  • 5% First time app buyer - "Samsung shop" on play store. Make sure you're logged into your education store account, and have selected the Education Store via the Menu.

    Tempted, but its too new so no reviews yet, bit of a risky buy.

    • Slothalicious on 28/05/2024 - 15:29

      Me too, very tempting considering it's $100 less than the alienware but feels too risky. Especially with the warranty, doesn't look like they really cover burn in :(

        Burn in warranty is a life saver, had a launch aw3423dw and had burn in 18 months in, had a replacement next day no questions asked

          do you get a refreshed burn in warranty on the replacement or no warranty after that?

      • jasswolf on 28/05/2024 - 19:53

        Every single OLED monitor has coverage for burn-in past a certain point. None of them will refuse you.

        What some others have done as a marketing gimmick is push beyond that based on estimated usage. But glaring burn in will be honoured, it's even codified into ACL here.

      • Ryxxi on 28/05/2024 - 21:00

      Linus has done an overview on the monitor - https://youtu.be/00D_hw9w9Ms?feature=shared

      But you're right no proper reviews that I've seen online

          Yes it is, it's the third generation QD-OLED from Samsung, says so on the title of the video. He does an overview of this monitor starting at around 9:15

      Actually there’s a Chinese review with full subs that addresses a lot of questions I can see people having. Found it randomly a little while back.

    This does look quite nice. Currently using an LG 42" C2 as my WFH monitor, and while its definitely nice, I could see something like this as a good vertical monitor addition. OLED is definitely a game changer!

        To my knowledge, it's OOS, least on education store. Could be available via other partnership stores.

        It's showing 25% off (1499, pre discounts), but not in terms and conditions of 25%+10% promo.

      • gazer on 28/05/2024 - 19:37

        Damn. That’d be pretty good compared to other 32” 4K entrants!

        I posted a comment below. I am trying to escalate to their Head office in Sydney.
        I have tried to escalate many times and no luck.
        If you can make a support call:

        8am-8pm AEST / 7days a week
        For general enquires and technical support
        1300 362 603

        It is simply a problem with their system and they don't want to fix it.
        It is ALL Western Australia and South Australia postcodes.
        I was told by one consultant that it is a problem with their logistics partner not uploading all the postcodes (but I have not heard back yet from him).
        Everyone else I spoke to just didn't want to help. I have tried escalating many times.
        I encourage you to escalate as well, and maybe they might listen and realise that there is a problem.

        BTW. .you can purchase ANY other monitor on the website so its not an issue with their logistics provider not servicing your area!

      Absolutely Alienware one, as Samsung has not clearly stated their warranty will cover burn-in of OLED panel which is a risk.

  • KenDiaMoi on 31/05/2024 - 20:54

    Really tempting, but had so many issues with flicker, vrr and software with g9 and g9 neo when it came out, idk if i want to be burned again

    • Teleri on 31/05/2024 - 22:59

      I believe this is the new 2024 model, no? (i.e. not 34" G8)

      • MedForce on 10/07/2024 - 23:40

        Hi mate.
        Could you please help me with the education store account you talk about in your post? I made a general Samsung account, but now website ask me for valid email and say me: "Enter your university email address. A verification link will be sent to the entered email account. Click on the link to go directly to the student shop." Does this mean that if I'm not a student of any university, I can't buy this monitor for A$891? Or there is some tricky way that I don't see?

        • Gianl3 on 11/07/2024 - 11:00

          Yeah you'd need a .EDU email or .GOV email to access those respective portals.

          However, I believe this deal is probably expired now as I can't see this via the government portal any longer

  • websalad on 01/06/2024 - 16:09

    Hey can you get loyalty codes for this?

    Edit: Loyalty vouchers don't apply to the samsung education store is that correct?

  • Gianl3 on 02/06/2024 - 17:22

    Took the plunge, should be arriving on Thursday, shout out if you want me to do any testing of any kind.

    • MedForce on 08/07/2024 - 23:02

      Hello, mate!
      Could you please give your feedback on this monitor if you already got it. First of all, is it even worth its money? How does it differ in practice from, for example, Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS?

      • Gianl3 on 09/07/2024 - 15:31

        From my experience, it was quite a large upgrade from my Acer XB271HU in terms of colour reproduction and fluidity.
        However, i am not a fan of how OLEDs render font/text, as it looks ever so slightly blurry to me (could just be a me problem)

        I was concerned initially of the 'low' brightness, but it's proven more than adequate for my space, which does not get direct bright light on it.

        There is a bit of coil whine noise coming from the back of the monitor if displaying a full white or full dark scence, which can be annoying if you are sensitive to that kind of thing.

        Overall, i'm happy with it, but maybe not fully blown away.

        I'm not familiar with that Asus model you mentioned, but this Samsung has double the refresh rate at 360hz, which i did find was quite noticeable.

        • MedForce on 10/07/2024 - 23:23

          Thank you for info, mate.

    Anyone know if this monitor supports VESA mounting such as for use with a monitor arm?

  • Mikgsxr on 05/06/2024 - 16:40

    Would this be good for xbox series x?

    Reviews are not out yet so it is a gamble… previous gen was good for xbox though.

    The new monitors both the G6 and now the G8 (which is available for pre-order) are great monitors.

    The only problem is that if you live in Western Australia or South Australia you cannot buy them!!!!
    For some reason Samsung's website has not been setup with WA/SA postcodes, so if you try to buy them or pre-order you are simply out of luck.
    I have spent days speaking to various support team members, half who have no clue and the other just give up or desire to help.
    It's funny, any other monitors on the website you can buy, but not these.
    Also this does not work for the public online store either.

    So if you live in WA or SA and want one, try and lodge a complaint or escalate the matter. They cannot ignore many people calling their support lines or chat sessions!
    When I asked to speak to a supervisor was told that they didn't want to talk to me about the issue.

    Honestly this is a shame, I really like Samsung products, but this is a joke for WA and SA consumers.

  • Gianl3 on 06/06/2024 - 12:47

    Here's another short video with a preview of this G6 model.

  • Mizzuki on 06/06/2024 - 21:24

    Apparently Samsung developed a new technology called "Safeguard+" that is built in the new G6 and G8 ("OLED Safeguard+ technology includes a groundbreaking Dynamic Cooling System and thermal modulation that auto-controls brightness to prevent burn-in").

    There is also a gaming competition to win a PC and Secretlab chair : "Purchase an Odyssey OLED G8 or G6 gaming monitor and stand a chance to win an Aftershock x Samsung Odyssey Gaming PC & Secretlab Gaming chair."
