Back in January, Samsung previewed its Odyssey OLED G9 monitor at the CES 2023 event. Around six months after that, the brand has now finally launched the monitor for the US and Korean markets.
The highly anticipated Odyssey OLED G9 is now open for pre-orders in the United States. Although the official price has yet to be disclosed, eager customers can reserve their unit through Samsung’s website starting today. To sweeten the deal, Samsung is offering a $50 instant discount and a generous $250 gift card for those who secure their purchase during the pre-order phase. Speculations in the tech community suggest that the Odyssey OLED G9 may carry a price tag of approximately $2,500 in the US market.
Meanwhile, in South Korea, the Odyssey OLED G9 comes in two variants. The G95SC variant, which boasts Smart Hub and Samsung Gaming Hub services, is priced at KRW 2.7 million (~$2,095). On the other hand, the G93SC variant, lacking Smart Hub and other smart features, carries a price tag of KRW 2.2 million (~$1,707). South Korean consumers can look forward to the G95SC variant being available from July 3, with the G93SC variant set to launch sometime later next month.
