Samsung Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor, 49 Inch, 240hz, 1000R, 1ms, 1440p, Black White

Product Information

The weight of 16.7kg is necessarily hefty, and the headphone holder is flimsy and difficult to reach. Setting this screen up can be inconsistent: the OSD is excellent but a proliferation of screws means the G9 is awkward to build. Image Quality The super-wide design is brilliant for racing games, and it works well in RPG, strategy and adventure games; titles that benefit from expansive views. You’ve probably figured out how obscenely massive the Samsung Odyssey G9 is by now, requiring ample amounts of desk space to even be used. If such a display will prove beneficial in day-to-day usage, the G9 could be right up your street.

The Samsung Odyssey G9 supports a 240Hz refresh rate, which is absolutely overkill for the majority of users. However, those wanting razor-sharp gaming performance and crisp and clear visuals for video editing will absolutely adore such a feature. It’s great for productivity, especially if you work in large horizontal timelines, and it can easily replace a multi-monitor setup. The 1000R curve improves immersion and viewing angles when compared to conventional 1800R designs too. This monitor is a serious investment, and one that only hardcore gamers and professionals could ever justify. There are cheaper and arguably more sensible options to consider if price ends up being a major barrier. As with the G7, though, the G9 does have physical disappointments. There’s no USB Type-C or Thunderbolt, and the lighting is underwhelming – not very adjustable and impossible to see from the front.Elsewhere, the Samsung uses DisplayHDR 1000, which is another area where this screen outpaces its rivals, and the underlying panel is a 10-bit VA display with a 1ms response time. The 49-inch diagonal dominates any desk, and it’s paired with a 32:9 aspect ratio, a vast 5120 x 1440 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate and the 1000R curve that’s also included on the smaller G7.
