The Samsung Odyssey lineup is ready to welcome its latest member: the Odyssey G9 OLED ultrawide. This time, the tech giant has gone for a 5,120 x 1,440 49-inch ultrawide format, which will make the latest premium-tier offering a solid option for competitive gaming at high framerates. However, it's heftily priced, and those living in the US will need to cash out $2,199 on the latest OLED goodness. In addition, the monitor boasts a fast 240 Hz refresh rate that will make gaming seem as smooth as butter.
The gaming monitor was announced at CES 2023. It's a curved 1800R panel with QD-OLED technology and a jaw-dropping 32:9 aspect ratio, and feels like two 1440p panels stacked beside each other. However, the resolution won't be very demanding since the total pixel count is 12% less than your standard 4K (3,840 x 2,160).
The monitor brings top-notch gaming performance to the table and is built to exploit the most powerful GPUs on the planet, like the RTX 4090 and the RX 7900 XTX. Let's look closely at what the new display has to offer.
