Samsung unveils new Odyssey G9 49 inch ultrawide and Odyssey G8 32 inch 4K 240Hz gaming monitors

Anticipation is high as several manufacturers get ready to present their new high-end monitors during CES this month, or within the first quarter of 2024. Samsung recently joined the queue, boasting three upcoming Odyssey models with 4K and 1440p options at high refresh rates. Boasting some of the firm's exclusive tech, these new models might hold a slight advantage for certain consumers. Samsung will showcase its new Odyssey G9, G8, and G6 OLED gaming monitors at CES in the following week. These upcoming releases are set to compete with anticipated models from HP, Dell, Asus, MSI, and LG. Similar to its competitors, Samsung is set to release a 4K 240Hz screen – the 32-inch Odyssey G8 G80SD – and a 1440p 360Hz alternative, the 27-inch Odyssey G6 G60SD. The new Odyssey G8 stands out as Samsung's inaugural flat 32-inch 4K panel, and both new monitors boast 0.03ms GTG response times. The most distinctive product from Samsung's latest release is the 49-inch Odyssey G9 G95SD, with a curved ultra-wide 32:9 screen providing a 5120 x 1440 resolution at 240Hz. Samsung's Odyssey monitors all support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and AMD FreeSync Premium, and are equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB hub, and a DisplayPort 1.4 input. Samsung's exclusive features include OLED Glare Free and Multi Control, which enhance image quality and connectivity with various Samsung devices, respectively. Pricing and exact launch dates remain undisclosed. More information will be provided once CES commences on Tuesday, January 9.
