More Samsung Odyssey Gaming Monitors inbound: G9 and G7 Now on Pre-Order

The Odyssey G9 and G7 are available for pre-order today and on sale July 13, on Samsung.com and select online retailers.

"As the global leader in the gaming monitor market, Samsung understands that gamers want display innovations that reimagine the gaming experience with high-performance features for even the most demanding game titles," said Mark Quiroz, Vice President, Product Marketing, Samsung Electronics America Display Division. "With Odyssey, we're going beyond the expectations of what a gaming monitor should be and bringing a fully redesigned, deeply immersive experience built for the future of gaming."

The G9 - with an industry-leading 49-inch display - and the G7, available in 32 and 27-inch, have been completely redesigned for maximum immersion in gaming worlds. Odyssey monitors are the first-ever gaming monitors to possess a high-performance 1000R curvature that wraps around a gamer's view. Combined with Samsung QLED technology and HDR, Odyssey delivers the deepest blacks and vivid colors to bring environments to life with unprecedented realism and ensures every pixel has picture-perfect depth.

For gamers to stay immersed in the action, display performance is critical as gaming is more competitive than ever. Odyssey's technical innovations take gamers' needs for speed, responsiveness into account with a powerful combination of 1 ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate, creating ultra-smooth screen transitions for crucial gaming moments where every split second counts.

To further improve performance, Odyssey monitors also support NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility and Adaptive Sync on DisplayPort 1.4, offering gamers' exceptionally dynamic and seamless gameplay.

Odyssey's Infinity Core custom lighting is a striking addition to any desktop, matching world firsts in technology with best-in-class design. Multiple colors and patterns allow gamers to customize their Infinity Core lighting to complement their setup.

The Odyssey G9: The Most Immersive Gaming Experience
The 49" G9 is available for $1699.99. Its Dual Quad-HD 49" display (DQHD; 5120×1440 resolution) boasts a 32:9 aspect ratio for a wider field of view and 1000 cd/m² peak brightness. Quantum dot technology combined with a HDR1000 VA panel also produce lifelike colors in vivid detail.

Odyssey G9 also has a striking new design with a glossy white exterior and a futuristic Infinity Core lighting glowing rear core, which includes 52 colors and five lighting effect options. The design and lighting effects stand out from the competition and complement any gaming setup.

The Odyssey G7
The Odyssey G7 is available for $699.99 (27") and $799.99 (32").

The Quad-High Definition (QHD; 2560×1440 resolution), 16:9 aspect ratio and HDR600 VA panel are complemented by a 600 cd/m² peak brightness. In addition to the lighting effects, the G7 has added dynamic shapes and lighting to the monitor's front bezel; once the monitor is turned on, circular lighting on the back of the device emits a subtle blue light.

G7 has futuristic design elements with a matte black exterior that's paired with a color-changing rear Infinity Core lighting system. The lighting can remain static or dim during gameplay, as well as change colors based on the preferences of the gamer.

If the G7s might worth for some, the G9 is just overpriced and useless. HDR1000 with edge lighting for 1700 EURO? Why would one do that when 48 inch OLED are right here for the same price and probably the same desk space? Yes, yes burn in bla bla, but I believe that these type of monitors should be priced differently for what they to have to offer.

Nice design but i will pass due to them being VA panels. Can't be on with blacks smudging and ghosting every time i turn left or right in FPS games. :confused:

I thought the LG CX 48" OLED would be the holy grail of monitors. Turns out it very much isn't. I sent mine back to the store after a few days.

The CX's ability to do 4k 120hz @ 8-bit 4:2:0 chroma was handy, i'll give it that. There was no ghosting at all, gameplay was super smooth but... with the screen being full glossy, it reflected far too much light glare back into my eyes. And when i closed the curtains (blackout curtains) to make the room completely dark, that turned the CX into a mirror during dark scenes. You can't really claim to have a TV that gives true blacks when its actually a mirror.

Then came the bugs...

The CX's eARC is completely borked. Sometimes it passes through the audio signal fine, other times it sounds like an underwater cyber dolphin squealing. This audio bug happened while hooked up to the PC and again when i hooked up my Nintendo Switch.

I also noticed that sound from the built-in Netflix and Amazon Prime apps had lip sync issues when sending the audio via eARC to my Denon AVR-X1600H receiver.

Then came the missing features...

The CX is missing a plethora of On Demand Smart Apps (UK version) that the C9 came with as standard. No BBC iPlayer, no ITV Hub, no 4oD and no My5. You can't even download them from the LG app store because LG have failed to secure any licences with the vendors... oops.

The CX is also missing an on-board DTS audio decoder which came as standard on the C9. LG cheaped out to save money. They only decode Dolby audio now.

The HDMI 2.1 ports on the CX are capped at 40Gbps instead of the full 48Gbps ports that the C9 came with last year. This means the TV cannot do 4k 120hz, 12-bit 4:4:4. It taps out at 4k 120hz, 10-bit 4:4:4. This isn't so much a problem since the TV's screen panel is only 10-bit anyway but still...

So yeah, sent it back to the store. Gonna wait for Mini/Micro LED instead.

VA panel is the closest to oled in black and it is much brighter, much superior pop-up in color reproduction despite being less accurate. But that slow black AND white, we shouldn't forget va panel has issues with both B&W transitions, they are really slower than the competition. Each to his own. I do not care bragging about online gaming so VA is the perfection for movies and photos. Only if text was clear like oled and IPS.
