Hong Kong – 26 July 2024 – For five consecutive years, Samsung has secured the number one spot in the worldwide sales of gaming monitors[1], cementing its position as the unrivalled leader in the industry. Building on the success of the OLED G8 and OLED G6 flat monitors, Samsung raises the bar by introducing the latest champions in its Odyssey lineup: the Odyssey OLED G9 and OLED G8 curved gaming monitors. These cutting-edge monitors redefine the boundaries of immersive gaming and entertainment, delivering a sensory experience so vivid and exhilarating it propels gamers into a whole new realm of victory and excitement.

 

Entire Series features OLED Anti-Glare and Burn-In Protection

Now fully upgraded, the 2024 Odyssey OLED series includes the previously released flat Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6, as well as the latest curved monitor additions OLED G9 and OLED G8. All models are equipped with advanced OLED anti-glare technology[2] and burn-in protection. The OLED anti-glare technology minimizes reflections to retain sharp color fidelity, significantly reducing external light interference. Whether in a brightly lit room or a darkened gaming den, the screen displays perfect deep blacks and vivid colors, ensuring an exceptional entertainment experience around the clock. The burn-in prevention feature automatically controls screen brightness through a heat management system, reducing heat generation and preventing burn-in[3], even during marathon gaming sessions.

 

Superior OLED Curved Display for an Unmatched Gaming Experience

The new 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 curved gaming monitor features a super-wide 32:9 aspect ratio design with Dual QHD resolution (5120 x 1440), akin to having two QHD screens side-by-side. The 1800R curved screen draws gamers into a breathtaking panoramic view. Boasting an extraordinary visual performance, with a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, the OLED G9 supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) to eliminate screen tearing, stuttering, and input lag, ensuring an ultra-smooth gaming experience and giving gamers a competitive edge in intense battles.

 

The 34-inch Odyssey OLED G8 curved gaming monitor, with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 1800R curvature, supports Ultra WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, elevating every game scene to its highest quality, offering gamers a stunning and immersive visual experience. It features a 175Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, providing smooth visuals and exceptional image quality. This creates an enveloping experience as if gamers are in the scene, allowing precise control that maintains a competitive advantage in every game.

 

Stylish Design with Unique Personality

Both the OLED G9 and OLED G8 monitors feature sleek metal frames and stands, adorned with Core Lighting+ that offers multiple color emissions at the back, adding a unique, futuristic touch to any gaming station. The CoreSync lighting effect adjusts automatically according to the game scene, extending the immersion of the game world into the real space. The monitors also come with an Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) that allows gamers to adjust the screen height to eye level, ensuring great comfort.

 

All-in-one Work and Game Platform

Equivalent to two QHD screens, the impressive 49-inch 32:9 ultra-wide screen supports the "Picture-by-Picture" function, allowing users to view content from two different devices simultaneously on a single screen. This enables easy multitasking via the display of multiple windows, greatly enhancing work efficiency.

 

Smart TV Interface for Diverse Entertainment

The new Odyssey OLED curved gaming monitors offer an enhanced gaming experience with a built-in Smart TV Tizen interface, allowing users to enjoy various popular streaming content applications such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, AppleTV, ViuTV, and Now TV. The exceptional screen technology paired with the 1800R curvature ensures that whether gaming or streaming videos, users are fully indulged in the visual experience.
