Samsung Odyssey G9 C49G95T: The most advanced curved gaming monitor

Samsung is going to launch in the coming weeks a new curved monitor with which to offer the best possible performance on a screen specially designed for gaming. This is the new Odyssey G9 , a 49-inch panel that stands out for the incredible list of specifications it offers.

You just have to see the dimensions of this monitor to understand that we are not facing any screen. It is true that it is not the first 49-inch model that we can find in the market, and it is that Samsung itself already had a similar model in its catalog, however, this new generation pushes the specifications to the limit, to the point that some Users should wait for updates to their graphics drivers to get the most out of it.

The reason is in the 244 Hz that offers maximum response at a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 pixels. It is not the most suitable resolution or panel for PS5 and Xbox Series X (the new consoles will not offer support for ultra-wide resolutions), but there is no doubt that more than one would dream of having one of these screens on their desk.

The most recommended use is to connect it to a powerful computer to get the most out of it, something that added to its 1000R curvature will allow the player to have a total perspective very similar to the angle of vision of the human eye, making games in first person they will feel quite realistic. Its extension will also help in MOBA type games, making it a highly recommended equipment for gaming professionals.

As you can see in the image, the difference between the 1800T and 1000R panels is quite evident, and it may be that for some it is too excessive a curvature, although the manufacturer assures that it helps to obtain an excellent immersion thanks to the peripheral vision it offers.

In addition to the resolution and curvature, it must be borne in mind that we are dealing with a QLED panel with HDR1000 and DQHD resolution , so it promises colors, contrast and spectacular brightness in all kinds of situations. To this we must add a response time of 1 ms and the label of being the first Dual QHD monitor in the world.

How much?

Unfortunately Samsung has not gone into details of how much this new model will cost, however, if we look at the previous model of 2019, we can have a slight idea of where the price could go. The 49-inch model of 2019 was launched with an official price of 1,299 euros, but it must be taken into account that the radius of curvature of this model is 1800R, so it is most likely that the 2020 Odyssey G9 rises slightly taking into account all the innovations it has included. That said, it would not be too far-fetched to bet on the 1,400 or 1,500 euros.
