Perhaps the absolute pinnacle of top-end gaming monitors available today, Samsung’s Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor is a beast of a display, offering one of the best quality displays for gaming that money can buy. As with a lot of extreme high-end tech, they start off with a high price to get the maximum revenue they can out of early-adoptors, then gradually decrease the price to seek out a more mainstream audience. Even at $1,349.99, this is hardly a mass-market display, but it’s $350 less than it was when it launched back in June of this year. Even at the launch price of $1,699.99, this was a very impressive display, but it’s especially appealing with this discount.

Here are the key specs for this astonishing monitor:

  • Size: 49 Inch,
  • Resolution: 5120 x 1440,
  • Aspect Ratio: 32:9,
  • Display Type: QLED,
  • Curvature: 1000R,
  • Refresh rate: Up to 240Hz,
  • FreeSync Range: 60-240Hz,
  • G-Sync Range: 60-240Hz,
  • Wall-Mount Size: 100mm x 100mm,
  • Response Times: 1ms.

Ports:

  • 2x DisplayPort 1.4
  • 1x HDMI 2.0
  • 2x USB 3.0
Infinity Core Lighting

Beyond just the raw performance, Samsung has even paid close attention to the aesthetic design. The rear of the display has a very attractive “Infinity Core Lighting” setup, with an RGB lit ring circling where the display connects to the stand.

If you are thinking of picking up a high-resolution monitor like this, you’ll need to make sure that you have a powerful GPU to drive it. You can build a very capable entire gaming system for this price, so this type of monitor is only for those happy to pay extra for an especially capable monitor.

Whether you’re looking for a screen for competitive level gaming, extremely cinematic and immersive gaming, high-level productivity, or just want to have multiple web browser windows open at a time, this is the ultimate monitor for 2020, and will form an incredible centerpiece of your gaming setup.
