A Samsung Electronics model is introducing the new 49-inch 'Odyssey G9,' the highest-performing curved gaming monitor ever.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Samsung Electronics announced on the 24th that it will launch the highest-performance curved gaming monitor ever, the Odyssey G9, in the domestic market.

The Odyssey G9, officially scheduled for release the next day, won the 'Innovation Award' in the computer peripherals category at CES 2020, the world's largest electronics exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA, last January.

The new product features optimized video technology specialized for gaming. It is the first monitor product to receive the 'HDR10+' logo certification. This HDR technology optimizes brightness and contrast for each scene, enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the video and enabling accurate color representation.

It also received the ‘VESA Certified DisplayHDR™ 1000’ certification, guaranteeing high-end HDR quality and performance from the Video Electronics Standards Association, and the ‘Eye Comfort’ certification from Germany’s TUV Rheinland, verifying eye-friendly display quality.

The product offers a 49-inch size with dual QHD resolution, providing an overwhelming immersive experience as if placing two 27-inch QHD monitors side by side. The exterior features a black slim bezel on the front to enhance immersion, and the rear uses a high-gloss white material with ‘Infinity Core Lighting’ that expresses 52 colors.

Additionally, it supports ▲32:9 super ultra-wide aspect ratio ▲curved wide viewing angle panel with 1000R curvature ▲QLED display with excellent color reproduction ▲maximum brightness of 1000 nits ▲240Hz high refresh rate ▲fast response time of 1ms based on G2G ▲NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to reduce screen tearing during high-quality gameplay ▲and ‘Game Mode’ optimized for different game genres.

According to market research firm IDC, Samsung Electronics achieved a 34.9% market share by value in the domestic gaming monitor (refresh rate 100Hz or higher) market last year, ranking first.

The new product is priced at 1.9 million KRW (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) and is available for purchase at offline stores such as Samsung Digital Plaza and online open markets. Samsung Electronics is conducting a promotional event offering a ‘JBL Quantum Duo’ speaker as a gift to customers who purchase the Odyssey G9 by September 30.

Ha Hye-seung, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business Division, said, “The Odyssey G9 is the best product reflecting Samsung Electronics’ accumulated technology and innovation,” adding, “We will continue to introduce various lineups to lead the rapidly growing premium gaming monitor market.”
