Samsung has announced the new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors ahead of CES 2024. The new models include the Odyssey OLED G9 (Model: G95SD), Odyssey OLED G8 (Model: G80SD), and the Odyssey OLED G6 (Model: G60SD).
Notably, Samsung has taken a new approach by introducing flat OLED choices to the Odyssey series and incorporating a 16:9 aspect ratio for the Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6.
The top-of-the-line Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a 49″ curved ultra-wide gaming monitor with DQHD (5,120 x 1,440) resolution a 32:9 aspect ratio and other upgraded features. The Odyssey OLED G8, on the other hand, is the first flat 32-inch Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3,840×2,160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Both monitors have a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time.
The Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 now offer Multi Control that allows users to seamlessly transfer images and/or text between their compatible Samsung monitor and other Samsung devices — including their Galaxy Book, tablet, or phone — for a smoother, more efficient work process using their mouse and keyboard.
Additionally, these include the Samsung SmartThings Hub. With the built-in hub, users can connect to various IoT devices that are compatible with Matter and the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), for device control.
The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27″ QHD (2,560×1,440) monitor that supports a 16:9 aspect ratio, 360Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms GTG response time. All three new models feature OLED Glare-Free technology that minimizes light reflections, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and more.
