The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 provides the most immersive gaming experience money can buy, even if that means dealing with a few strange quirks along the way.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 MSRP $1,800.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Even with some quirks, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a game-changing gaming monitor.” Pros Cons Samsung’s current slate of QD-OLED monitors are among the best gaming monitors you can buy, so it’s no surprise that the Odyssey OLED G9 is a great gaming display. What I didn’t expect going into this review is that I’d actually be considering adopting the unique 32:9 aspect ratio that I wrote off for so many years.
Something Samsung carried over from the previous version is the CoreSync ring. There’s a layer of diffused plastic around where the stand connects to the monitor that holds RGB lighting. You can set this as a static color, but you can also sync it with what’s on the screen. In a dark room playing Alan Wake 2, the extra bit of lighting did a ton to draw me into the game. Still, the CoreSync ring is fairly dim, so you won’t notice the effect in brightly lit rooms.
Image quality After reviewing Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G8 earlier this year, I wasn’t surprised to see the Odyssey OLED G9 provide jaw-dropping image quality. This is one of the best QD-OLED displays you can buy, with fantastic color coverage, great color accuracy, and the deep contrast and inky blacks that OLED panels are known for.
A productivity monster The image quality on the Odyssey OLED G9 is stunning, but you can get that with 16:9 monitors like the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM. The unique aspect ratio is where the Odyssey OLED G9 really shines. It’s a productivity machine, giving you ample screen real estate to multitask. It’s not remotely close to VR, but it provides that same feeling of immersion. The Odyssey OLED G9 wrestles your senses away, sucking you into games in a way that even 21:9 monitors can’t manage. I spent nearly an hour just driving around Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, ignoring all of my various objectives, riding high on the feeling of living in this dense futuristic world.
The wide field of view can work against the gaming experience, too. Again, this isn’t VR, but the Odyssey OLED G9 can give you some motion sickness depending on the game. This particularly comes up in games with extreme motion blur and heavy vignetting, where long gameplay sessions can cause some queasiness. That’s something I never encountered with this monitor.
The main draw here is streaming, of all things. Especially if you hook a console up to the monitor, you can use Multi View to see your game on one half of the screen while your PC occupies the other half, allowing you to see your stream information, capture card details, and more. You don’t have to worry about tabbing out of your game, either; these are two separate sources.
