Samsung has recently expanded its Odyssey series with the introduction of innovative OLED gaming monitors, unveiled just before the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The latest additions include the Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD), G8 (G80SD), and G6 (G60SD), each boasting unique features and state-of-the-art technology.
Key features of the new Odyssey monitors
The Odyssey G9 stands out in the series with its impressive 49-inch curved ultra-wide display and a Dual Quad High-Definition (DQHD) resolution of 5120 x 1440. On the other hand, the Odyssey G8, Samsung’s first venture into “flat” OLED gaming monitors, offers a 32-inch 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) screen. Both models share a swift 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms grey-to-grey (GTG) response time. The smaller Odyssey G6, while only 27 inches, does not compromise on specs, offering a Quad High Definition (QHD) resolution and a remarkable 360Hz refresh rate.
Advancements in OLED gaming technology
Their OLED Glare-Free technology sets these monitors apart, eliminating distractions from reflections on the screen. The OLED panels provide unmatched brightness and colour consistency compared to other panel types. Additionally, all three models support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, further enhancing the gaming experience.
Enhanced connectivity and ergonomic design
Samsung has focused on both connectivity and ergonomic design in these new monitors. Each model features dual HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB hub, and DisplayPort 1.4 input. They are ergonomically designed with VESA mount compatibility and an adjustable stand that offers tilt, swivel, and pivot options. The G9 and G8 also include Multi Control for seamless integration with Samsung devices and come equipped with Samsung’s SmartThings Hub and the Smart TV platform, facilitating streamlined control and access to streaming and cloud gaming services.
Details regarding these new monitors’ launch dates and pricing have yet to be released, but more information, including local launch details, will be announced soon.
