In terms of ports, the key inclusions are two DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0 input. It looks good from either side, although naturally from the front the massive display will dominate what you're looking at. The construction has a premium look and feel to it, with Samsung opting for a sci-fi like white glossy rear with a glowing RGB LED ring around the stand connection. You'll need to find quite a bit of desk space to fit the wide stand legs, although beyond that it's quite reasonable. For a big heavy beast that's over a meter wide, having this range of motion in the stand is impressive. The stand is height and tilt adjustable which we expected, but it can also swivel and remains sturdy while doing so. The design, all things considered, is quite good and we're impressed with what Samsung has been able to achieve with such a huge display panel. We've seen the G9 available at a discount on occasion, but it's still a premium display. A single 27-inch Odyssey G7 will set you back $700, while the Odyssey G9 has a regular retail price of $1700, or about a 20 percent premium to get this resolution in a single display. The Odyssey G9 may be two 1440p monitors side by side, but it doesn't cost the same as two 1440p monitors, rather it's more expensive.
SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7 VS G9 PRO
It's also G-Sync compatible and packs AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, with DisplayHDR 1000 certification as well. The display has nearly 90% of the pixel count of a 4K monitor but a far higher refresh rate than any 4K display on the market today, so it will really push your GPU to its limits and provide a lot of future proofing for upgrades down the line. The refresh rate goes up to a monstrous 240 Hz, the highest we've seen for this resolution. That's not the case with the G9, this is a pure gaming monitor.įitting with its focus as a gaming display, the Odyssey G9 packs impressive specifications. We've talked in the past about how displays like the LG 27GN950 are great as dual-use monitors for gaming and content creation as an example. However like I said there is still some distortion in non-gaming settings, which doesn't make the Odyssey G9 the most versatile monitor. I actually feel this display would be worse with a less aggressive curve and not very good at all with a flat panel. The edges of the panel wrap neatly into your field of view when sitting at a standard desk viewing distance, and unlike with the G7 you hardly notice the curve when exploring game worlds or shooting up enemies. While you still get distortion on the G9, mostly to the same degree, that's offset by the sheer immersiveness of the display for gaming.
SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7 VS G9 PC
I wasn't a big fan of the 1000R curve on the G7, I felt it looked quite odd on a 16:9 monitor and introduced quite a bit of distortion for basic PC tasks like web browsing or video playback. In addition, Samsung are using the same 1000R curvature as the Odyssey G7, which at this width is extremely noticeable.
The display is seriously huge, measuring in at over 1 meter wide, so you'll need to make sure you have plenty of desk space available for this beast.
This is a 49-inch 5120 x 1440 VA monitor, that's a 32:9 aspect ratio equivalent to two 27-inch 2560 x 1440 displays stitched together side by side. A few months back we checked out the Odyssey G7, Samsung's 16:9 version of this display, and were pretty impressed with the performance, so hopefully the Odyssey G9 can live up to the same standard.
The absolutely enormous Samsung Odyssey G9 is a curved super-ultrawide monitor that promises to offer the most immersive gaming experience on the market.
