In a world where tech advancements are developing at breakneck speed, Samsung is setting a new bar with the introduction of the “first OLED monitor to offer Dual Quad High Definition”. The tech giant has announced that the 49-inch curved Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor is now available for pre-order, offering gamers an unparalleled visual experience.
The Odyssey OLED G9 was first announced at CES 2023 in January. With a super-quick 240-Hz refresh rate and an exceptional 0.03-ms response time, Samsung’s new offering promises to cater to even the most experienced gamers’ needs and expectations. The monitor features a curvature of 1800R, enhancing immersion and providing a panoramic view of the gaming arena.
As the first monitor to offer Dual Quad High Definition (DQHD; 5,120 x 1,440) resolution, the Odyssey OLED G9 essentially integrates two QHD-resolution screens side by side, resulting in a stunning 32:9 aspect ratio. The G9 model, specifically the G95SC variant, utilizes the Neo Quantum Processor Pro to provide algorithm-based auto upscaling and brightness adjustment, delivering improved detail and game-play experience.
The Odyssey OLED G9 comes packed with Smart TV apps, allowing users to stream entertainment without the need to cable up a PC or mobile device. In addition, Samsung’s Gaming Hub platform offers a space for discovering and streaming games, including titles from Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now. The G95SC supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA Adaptive Sync, ensuring a smooth, stutter-free gaming experience.
Samsung’s ultra-wide display features a range of connectivity options, including full-size and micro HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a triple-port USB hub. Integrated stereo speakers and Core Lighting+ add to the immersive experience, matching onscreen colors for an enriched visual encounter.
The G95SC is priced at $2,199.99, with Samsung offering a $250 credit for the pre-order period, making the deal more enticing for early adopters.
In addition to the G95SC, Samsung has also unveiled a second model, the G93SC, which does not include the Neo Quantum processor, Gaming Hub, or Smart TV features. This version also lacks voice assistance and multi-view functionalities, among other features. While Samsung has not yet disclosed pricing for the G93SC, the company has announced global availability beginning from Q3.
Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G9, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and offering unrivaled picture quality, raises the bar in OLED gaming, promising a truly immersive experience for gamers around the globe.
