Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors at CES 2020. While pre-order for the Odyssey G7 and the Odyssey G9 monitors had started in the US, only the G7 was listed in South Korea. Now, the company has finally launched the Odyssey G9 globally.
The Samsung Odyssey G9 is priced at 1.9 million KRW (roughly 1,600 US Dollars). It is the world’s first dual-QHD resolution supporting monitor, is NVIDIA G-Sync compatible, and has a 1000R curvature. The new gaming monitor is also the world’s first monitor to support HDR10+, which is thanks to its QLED panel with DisplayHDR 1000 certification.
The high end gaming monitor had won the CES 2020 Innovation Award in the Computer Peripherals and Accessories category due to its unique curved design. So, gaming enthusiasts have something to really look forward to. The Samsung Odyssey G9 sports a 49 inch curve QLED panel with a 5120×1440 resolution and an aspect ratio of 32:9.

Furthermore, it has a high refresh rate of 240Hz with 1ms response time and 1000 nits of peak brightness. The monitor also covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and is compatible with both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. So, gamers that have hardware from either team red or green will benefit in this regard. Notably, the monitor can also be rotated, swiveled, and tilted according to users’ requirements.
In terms of ports, the Odyssey G9 has two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, three USB 3.0 ports, and a headphone jack. Additionally, the monitor also offers features like Black Equalizer and Virtual Aim Point. It is also the first monitor in the industry to receive TÜV Rheinland’s best rating for its 1000R Curved Display and Eye Comfort certification. The Samsung Odyssey G9 arrives in a single white variant, but with an Infinity Core lighting area at the back. This region supports 52 colors and 5 different lighting effects. So RGB lovers rejoice!
