Samsung Globally Launches Highest Performance Curved Gaming Monitor Odyssey G9
Samsung today announced the global launch of its next-generation Odyssey G9 curved gaming monitor. Unveiled at CES 2020, the G9 joins the recently launched G7 in the Odyssey line-up.
The Odyssey portfolio’s premium performance has been certified by TÜV Rheinland, a leading international certification organization, which recognized the Odyssey monitors with the industry’s best high performance 1000R Curved Display and Eye Comfort certificate. The Odyssey G9 is also the first monitor certified to support HRD10+, enabling it to deliver games and content in groundbreaking quality through a combination of Quantum dot technology and an HDR1000 panel. Moreover, the innovative design of the Odyssey G9 won the CES 2020 Innovation Awards in the Computer Peripherals and Accessories category.
“Following our recent announcement of the Odyssey G7 curved gaming monitor, the G9 now joins the portfolio as the first dual QHD gaming monitor with 1000R curvature. This further solidifies Samsung’s leadership in the global gaming monitor market, with innovation happening at an unprecedented rate,” said Hyesung Ha, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s Odyssey G9 curved gaming monitor takes immersive gaming to the next level, giving any gamer the upper hand.”
Addressing gamers’ needs for lightning-fast speed, minimal distractions and maximum responsiveness, the G9 comes with Samsung’s latest display innovations. The 49-inch G9 is the world’s first Dual Quad High-Definition (DQHD; 5120×1440 resolution) gaming monitor that offers an industry-first, deep and immersive 1000R curvature. The G9 is set to deliver a powerful combination of features under the hood, including rapid 1ms response time with a 240Hz refresh rate and crystal clear QLED picture quality for gaming in dual QHD. The Odyssey G9 further presents a groundbreaking gameplay experience, with dynamic and seamless action scene-by-scene enabled by NVIDIA G-SYNC® Compatibility and Adaptive Sync on DP1.4.

A really so beautiful and futuristic one that makes me feel it's like a monitor from a raytraced, realistic and well made videogame. It deserves rewards and some hype.

Pretty neat, but most likely very expensive and generally a topic with most games (ultra ultra wide screen support?). Also, front has black bezel, back is white plastics... could have just made it all black imho.

This is pretty cheap compared to the new Lg ultragear-34gn850-b. If you look at the specs.
The question is what kind of drawbacks does this g9 monitor have?
Does it support "DP 2.0"

Missing a basic 16/9 lineup, 1080p / 1440p / 2160p
Not all the games enjoy the very very very wide format gaming experience, and not all desktop/room can afford big wide screen too.
Would have loved to see these missing panels in 27" to 40" size too.
