The Odyssey OLED G9 features a dual quad-HD 49” 1800R curved display, with a 32:9 ratio, and is designed for gamers who play big, win big. Cable not shown. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Samsung Electronics Australia today announced the local availability of the 49” Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor (G95SC model) – a power-packed gaming monitor with a DisplayHDR True Black 400 and next-level AI upscaling technology to achieve incredible picture quality. Building on the success of last year’s Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB), the new monitor sits at the pinnacle of Samsung’s premium gaming monitor lineup, designed for those who want to play big and win big.

Measuring 49 inches in size with a 1800R curvature, the Odyssey OLED G9 is Samsung’s first OLED monitor to offer Dual Quad High Definition (DQHD; 5,120 x 1,440) resolution with a 32:9 ratio. The large and wide screen ratio enables gamers who don’t play fair to lose themselves in super-ultrawide vistas — equivalent to two QHD screens side by side. At the same time, its rapid 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time and 240Hz refresh rate offers players a competitive edge.

The addition of the Neo Quantum Processor Pro sets the Odyssey OLED G9 apart from other OLED gaming monitors. Using a deep learning algorithm, it intelligently analyses images and automatically upscales to adjust brightness while amplifying contrast. This enables the monitor to restore each detail and deliver brilliant images, pixel by pixel.

“The powerful 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 ushers in a new era in gaming monitor performance, delivering a premium, ultra-wide immersive experience that puts this monitor in a class of its own,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director of Display and Brand Memory, Samsung Australia. “The Odyssey OLED G9 is ideal for gamers looking for deep blacks, incredible detail, brilliant colour and game changing speeds at a level that only Samsung can deliver.”

Game changing speed in brilliant colour

AMD FreeSync Premium Pro enhances the Odyssey OLED G9’s super smooth gameplay experience. With DisplayHDR True Black 400, the monitor delivers incredible details and vivid colours regardless of the game being played or the content gamers are watching.

The Odyssey OLED G9 features a slim design housed within a sleek metal frame. On the back of the monitor is the much-loved CoreSync and Core Lighting+ which uses advanced lighting technology to match the colours on-screen, making content incredibly immersive. Built-in stereo speakers complement on-screen content with crisp sound.

The Odyssey OLED G9’s quantum dot technology OLED lighting is controlled pixel-by-pixel, allowing a near-infinite[1] colour contrast ratio. Cable not shown. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

A gaming experience like never before

As the first Odyssey Gaming monitor to launch in Australia with Samsung Gaming Hub[2], in addition to Smart TV apps,[3] the Odyssey OLED G9 provides gamers with access to streaming, gaming services and entertainment all in one place. In switching to Smart Mode, gamers can relish in the Odyssey OLED G9’s incredible picture quality and immersive sound to bring a cinematic experience to their favourite shows from leading OTT (over-the-top) service providers – all without a connection to a PC or mobile device[4]. Samsung Gaming Hub also enables players to discover and play games from partners such as XBOX Game Pass[5] and NVIDIA GeForce Now.

The Multi View offering allows gamers to take full advantage of the large display by allowing easy multitasking. For example, gameplay on one side and web browsing on the other. This means that gamers now can enjoy multitasking without the hassle of a multiple-monitor setup.

The Odyssey OLED G9 offers a variety of convenient functions and features that provide an optimised experience whether gaming or viewing. Versatile connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and Micro HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4, and Auto Source Switch+, create cleaner connections from one central USB hub while providing a seamless experience regardless of the content source. The Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) enables users to find the perfect gaming or viewing position, regardless of what they are playing.

The Odyssey OLED G9 will be available in Australia from 24 July 2023 for $2,699 (RRP) exclusively via the Samsung Online store.

Samsung is revolutionising the ultra-wide display category by launching the 57” Odyssey Neo G9, the world’s first single monitor with dual ultra-high definition resolution. This innovation is a testament to Samsung’s industry-leading position in delivering an immersive and lifelike gaming experience.

“We are introducing the future of gaming monitors with our Odyssey Neo G9, making each game more lifelike with innovative features and picture quality on a new scale,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “CES is the perfect place to showcase our innovations that can take not only gamers, but also graphic designers or TV fans to the next level, while providing personalised experiences across a range of integrated smart apps.”

Odyssey Neo G9: The World’s First Dual UHD Gaming Monitor

The Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming Monitor (Model Name: G95NC) helps gamers see new levels of detail with an incredible field of view. The gaming monitor delivers 7,680×2,160 resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio in one screen for the first time.

Its 1000R curved 57” screen uses quantum mini LED technology with VESA Display HDR 1000 specification to deliver superior imaging in most game environments, from shadows to bright scenes. The Matte Display reduces light reflection on the screen, minimising distractions during the most intense gaming sessions.

It also boasts the world’s first DisplayPort 2.1 support, which transfers data approximately twice as fast as the previously used DisplayPort 1.4. In addition, the new DP2.1 allows lossless industry-standard Display Stream Compression (DSC) to transmit information without distortion.

The Odyssey Neo G9 also supports a refresh rate of 240Hz, so that gamers will not miss a thing during fast-paced gameplay.

Odyssey OLED G9: Brighter Whites, Deeper Blacks, and Near Infinite Colour Contrast

The Odyssey OLED G9 (Model Number: G95SC) is the latest addition to the Odyssey OLED lineup, featuring a dual quad-HD 49” 1800R curved display, with a 32:9 ratio. Its quantum dot technology OLED lighting is controlled pixel-by-pixel, allowing a near-infinite colour contrast ratio.

The OLED screen illuminates each pixel separately and does not rely on a backlight, allowing a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio while delivering true RGB and true black without colour filters.

For smooth gameplay, the Odyssey OLED G9 also features a 0.1ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate to reduce lagging and skipping.

The Odyssey OLED G9 also uses apps from partners like Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube through Smart Hub, which allows users to enjoy various over-the-top (OTT) content using an Internet connection, without the need for a PC.

ViewFinity S9: Smart Colour Calibration Designed for Creative Professionals

The ViewFinity S9 (Model Number: S90PC) is Samsung’s newest addition to its High Resolution monitor lineup. It features a 5K 27” screen for the first time and is optimised for creative professionals such as graphic designers and photographers. Its 5,120 x 2,880 resolution combined with its wide colour gamut of up to 99% DCI-P3, provides crisp and true-to-form details, and its average Delta E ≦ 2[1] colour accuracy also produces clear and precise colour representation, even in complicated or nuanced visual environments.

The monitor’s built-in Colour Calibration Engine ensures precise screen colour and brightness, allowing users to adjust white balance, Gamma and RGB colour balance for perfect accuracy with their smartphones through the Samsung Smart Calibration application. The Matte Display limits light reflection and glare to minimise distractions while working.

Users can connect cameras and other devices to the monitor through USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 connections to easily transfer gigantic files of high-resolution video or other large data sets from storage devices to their PC.

Smart Monitor M8: Bringing Productivity, Entertainment and Personal Life Together

The Smart Monitor M8 (Model Number: M80C) features a stylish and slim design and now comes in a new 27” size in addition to the existing 32” size, both with 4K resolution.

The height-adjustable stand with tilt support gives users the best angle. The screen can now pivot 90 degrees, which helps users view long documents with less scrolling. It also meets VESA mount compatibility standards to help save space and retain a clutter-free environment.

The Smart Monitor M8 can connect, control, and manage hundreds of compatible connected devices through the built-in SmartThings Hub, including lights, cameras, doorbells, locks, thermostats, and more[2]. Samsung plans to expand device choices and usability by supporting Matter functionality and Home Connectivity Alliance standards from this year onwards.

Mouse control functionality has been added to many of the Smart Monitor’s over-the-top apps, including SmartThings and the Smart Hub, for a new level of convenient control without a remote.

Users can use the Smart Monitor M8 to get instant access to Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube and other over-the-top services through Smart Hub.

The new My Contents feature provides users with helpful information at a glance. When the monitor is on standby mode and detects a registered smartphone through low-power Bluetooth, it shows the user’s personalised photos, schedule and more on the screen. The monitor returns to standby mode when the phone moves out of range.

In addition, the Smart Monitor M8 is also protected by Samsung Knox Vault, which encrypts personal data and keeps stored files and information isolated from the device’s main operating system to help safeguard it from attacks.

Samsung’s new range of monitors including Odyssey Neo G9, Odyssey OLED G9, ViewFinity S9, and Smart Monitor M8 will be available in Australia in 2023.
