TL;DR
Samsung is bringing NVIDIA G-SYNC to its 2025 OLED TVs, starting with the flagship S95F. These TVs feature 165Hz refresh rates, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, AI Auto Game Mode, and Samsung Gaming Hub—all designed to deliver a premium big-screen gaming experience. More models in the 2025 OLED range are expected to gain G-SYNC support later this year.
In a major move set to please gamers and home theater enthusiasts alike, Samsung has officially announced that its 2025 OLED TV lineup will feature support for NVIDIA G-SYNC, a technology long hailed by PC gamers for its ability to eliminate screen tearing and reduce input latency. This marks the first time Samsung OLED TVs have natively supported G-SYNC, and it represents a significant step forward for high-end gaming on the big screen.
A Turning Point for TV Gaming
With the arrival of NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, Samsung is cementing its position as a top-tier brand not only for cinematic entertainment but also for next-generation gaming experiences. Launching first on the company’s flagship S95F OLED, G-SYNC will roll out across more models in the 2025 OLED range later in the year.
The integration of G-SYNC—alongside Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, AI Auto Game Mode, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro—marks a comprehensive upgrade of Samsung’s gaming toolkit, effectively turning these OLEDs into serious contenders for the title of best gaming display in your living room.
What is NVIDIA G-SYNC—and Why Does It Matter?
NVIDIA G-SYNC is a variable refresh rate (VRR) technology developed by NVIDIA to eliminate common display issues like screen tearing, stutter, and input lag. These problems arise when a display's refresh rate and the GPU’s frame rate fall out of sync—especially in fast-paced or high-fidelity games. With G-SYNC, the TV or monitor dynamically adjusts its refresh rate to match the GPU’s output frame by frame.
This real-time synchronization ensures smooth, judder-free visuals and more responsive control—crucial for gamers looking for both precision and immersion.
While G-SYNC originally required a dedicated hardware module built into high-end gaming monitors, G-SYNC Compatible displays meet a certification standard via VESA's Adaptive Sync over HDMI or DisplayPort, provided they pass NVIDIA's validation process. Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs are part of this newer, more accessible implementation.
In essence, G-SYNC compatibility guarantees:
-
No screen tearing
-
Reduced input lag
-
Smoother frame delivery
-
Greater immersion in fast-paced games
Motion Xcelerator 165Hz: Samsung’s Secret Weapon
The inclusion of Motion Xcelerator 165Hz in Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs is another standout addition. This feature allows supported models to reach refresh rates of up to 165Hz—a first for Samsung TVs and significantly higher than the standard 120Hz found on most high-end models.
This ultra-fast refresh rate ensures exceptionally fluid motion clarity, particularly beneficial in twitch-reaction shooters, racing games, and sports titles. When combined with G-SYNC, it results in virtually tear-free and highly responsive gameplay, even during sudden on-screen transitions or rapid movement.
The real bonus? These benefits aren’t limited to PC gamers. Thanks to HDMI 2.1 support across Samsung’s 2025 OLED models, next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X can also take advantage of higher refresh rates and VRR performance.
Flagship Launch: Samsung OLED S95F
Kicking off this new era of gaming-focused TV tech is the Samsung OLED S95F, the brand’s flagship 2025 OLED television. Samsung describes it as its "most advanced OLED ever," and it’s easy to see why.
Key Specs of the S95F:
-
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible
-
Motion Xcelerator 165Hz
-
AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
-
4K OLED HDR Pro
-
Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor
-
Pantone Validated Colors
-
AI Auto Game Mode
-
OLED Glare-Free Panel
-
Samsung Vision AI
-
Samsung Gaming Hub
The S95F is designed for gamers who want the best of both worlds: stunning cinematic visuals and elite-level gaming performance. With its AI-powered processor and advanced panel technology, it optimizes everything from contrast to motion response in real-time.
Samsung also emphasizes its Glare-Free OLED screen, which aims to deliver distraction-free performance even in bright rooms—a long-standing challenge for many OLED TVs.
Expanding the Lineup: Additional Models with G-SYNC
While the S95F leads the charge, Samsung has confirmed that G-SYNC compatibility will roll out to other models in its 2025 OLED range throughout the year.
Though Samsung hasn’t published the full list yet, based on its existing 2025 OLED structure, we expect G-SYNC to expand to:
-
Samsung OLED S90F
-
Samsung OLED S85F
These models, while slightly less premium than the S95F, share many of its core gaming technologies, including Motion Xcelerator and FreeSync Premium Pro, making them strong candidates for G-SYNC certification.
Dual Support: AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
Not stopping at G-SYNC, Samsung is also doubling down on VRR support with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, the highest tier of AMD’s adaptive sync technology.
FreeSync Premium Pro includes:
-
Low Framerate Compensation (LFC)
-
HDR support with tone mapping
-
120Hz at 4K
-
Low latency in both SDR and HDR modes
This ensures excellent performance for gamers with AMD GPUs or consoles like Xbox Series X|S, which support FreeSync. Samsung’s support for both G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium Pro essentially maximizes compatibility across NVIDIA and AMD ecosystems, an inclusive approach that’s particularly welcome in an era of diverse gaming hardware.
Game-Focused Features: AI Auto Game Mode & Game Bar
Beyond adaptive sync, Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs introduce several software-level enhancements aimed squarely at gamers.
AI Auto Game Mode
This smart new feature analyzes the game genre and specific on-screen content in real time, automatically adjusting picture and sound settings to deliver optimal performance.
For example:
-
In FPS games, it may prioritize low latency and clear detail in dark scenes.
-
In RPGs, it might enhance color depth and spatial audio for immersion.
The goal? Take the guesswork out of TV settings and let AI deliver a perfectly tuned experience—every time.
Game Bar 4.0
Samsung’s latest version of its in-game overlay, Game Bar, has also been updated. It allows players to quickly:
-
View frame rate and VRR status
-
Toggle aspect ratios
-
Adjust input lag settings
-
Switch between performance modes
-
Enable AI Game Mode
All without leaving the game.
It’s a smart, unobtrusive interface that lets players stay in control without breaking immersion.
Samsung Gaming Hub: Cloud Gaming Gets Even Better
Samsung’s Gaming Hub is also baked into every 2025 OLED TV, continuing the company’s aggressive push into cloud-based gaming.
It supports:
-
Xbox Cloud Gaming
-
NVIDIA GeForce NOW
-
Amazon Luna
-
Utomik and more
With G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium Pro now in place, cloud gaming performance should feel smoother and more responsive than ever before, helping bridge the gap between console/PC gaming and streaming platforms.
Gamers with a stable internet connection and a compatible Bluetooth controller can essentially turn their Samsung TV into a powerful, low-latency gaming console—no dedicated hardware required.
AI Enhancements and Smart Features: Not Just for Gamers
While G-SYNC may be the headline for gamers, Samsung’s 2025 OLED lineup also introduces AI-powered features aimed at enhancing all forms of entertainment.
Samsung Vision AI
Samsung’s new Vision AI platform brings intelligent personalization to your TV. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or watching sports, the system fine-tunes image quality, audio balance, and recommendations based on what you’re watching and how you interact with your TV.

Live Translate
Using Samsung’s voice recognition engine, Live Translate provides real-time subtitle translation across multiple languages—ideal for international gamers or multi-lingual households.
Universal Gestures
With a compatible Galaxy Watch, you can control your TV using gestures—like pausing, adjusting volume, or navigating menus without needing to reach for the remote.
These features, while not gaming-specific, help reinforce Samsung’s 2025 OLEDs as AI-first smart displays, bridging the gap between traditional TVs and modern AI assistants.
Pricing and Promotions: Launch Discounts on 2024 & 2025 Models
To mark the launch of G-SYNC on the S95F, Samsung is offering major discounts across its OLED portfolio for a limited time.
