Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of the Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor (G95SC), which has been enhanced with next-level AI upscaling technology. Building on the success of last year’s Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB), the new monitor joins the lineup to open a new era of OLED gaming.
Measuring 49 inches in size with a 1800R curvature, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is the first OLED monitor to offer Dual Quad High Definition (DQHD; 5120x1440) resolution with a 32:9 ratio. Its OLED panel sports a rapid 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time and 240Hz refresh rate. The addition of the Neo Quantum Processor Pro sets the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 apart from other OLED gaming monitors. Using a deep learning algorithm, it intelligently analyzes images and automatically upscales to adjust brightness while amplifying contrast. The Odyssey OLED G9 supports AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro and features DisplayHDR™ True Black 400.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 features a slim design housed within a sleek metal frame. On the back of the monitor is the much-loved CoreSync and Core Lighting+ which uses advanced lighting technology to match the colours on-screen, making content more immersive and bringing the gaming experience to life. Built-in stereo speakers complement on-screen content with crisp sound.
Samsung Gaming Hub
Equipped with Samsung Gaming Hub and smart TV apps, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 provides access to streaming, gaming services and entertainment all in one place. Users can watch their favourite shows from leading OTT (over-the-top) service providers without a connection to a PC or mobile device. Samsung Gaming Hub also enables users to discover and play games from partners such as Xbox Game Pass and NVIDIA GeForce Now — all without downloads or storage space requirements.
Samsung Gaming Hub is only available in select countries including Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain, the U.S. and the U.K. In other European countries, cloud games can be accessed through the Samsung Smart Hub.
Multi View
The Multi View offering allows users to take full advantage of the large display by enabling gameplay on up to two screens at once. This means that gamers now can enjoy multitasking without the hassle of a multiple-monitor setup.
Versatile Connectivity
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 offers a variety of convenient functions and features that provide an optimized experience whether gaming or viewing. Versatile connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and Micro HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4 and Auto Source Switch+, create cleaner connections from one central USB hub while providing a seamless experience regardless of the content source. The Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) enables users to find the perfect gaming or viewing position, regardless of what they are playing.
