The Odyssey G9 is a colossal 49in Dual Quad High Definition curved gaming monitor

Ahead of the curve

Samsung has launched a new high-spec curved gaming monitor that looks like something you’d see on the USS Enterprise — the glossy J. J. Abrams version, not Shatner’s old ride. Dubbed the Odyssey G9 (£1279), the 49in display is the world’s first Dual Quad High Definition (5120×1440 resolution) gaming monitor. It features an industry first 1000R curvature, a rapid 1ms response time with a 240Hz refresh rate, 32:9 ‘super wide’ aspect ratio, Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, and support for HDR10+. The gigantic QLED display even integrates customisable Infinity Core Lighting into its glossy white exterior, which is a nice touch for those with a taste for the extravagant.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
