Samsung delivers a 240Hz refresh rate in the Odyssey OLED G9. The Odyssey OLED G9 doesn’t raise the bar on image quality-its overall performance is not much different from last year's Alienware AW3423DW, which also has a QD-OLED panel from Samsung-but it’s still the most attractive OLED monitor available right now. A high-quality 1440p video can take on a three-dimensional look, even if it doesn’t fill the entire screen. That means a vivid, saturated, and lush image with a superb sense of depth and dimensionality. While a higher maximum brightness would be appreciated, you still get superb contrast and excellent color. It doesn't help that Samsung uses a glossy display coat that tends to pick up fingerprints.

That’s fine for a home office or gaming den but could appear dim in a room with sunlit windows or intense overhead lighting. I recorded a max full-screen sustained brightness of 232 nits in SDR on a fully white screen. Though it has many strengths, the Odyssey G9 shares a flaw common to OLED monitors: unimpressive maximum brightness. Samsung's QD-OLED panel also provides a wider color gamut than LG’s Paper White OLED panel, which is found in more “affordable” 27-inch monitors, such as the LG UltraGear 27GP950-B. Some competitors can stand toe-to-toe with the Odyssey OLED G9's color, such as Dell's 6K UltraSharp monitor and the much less expensive Asus ProArt PA279CRV, but Samsung's results are at the head of the gaming class. The Odyssey OLED G9 can display 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, 96% of Adobe RGB, and 82% of Rec.2020. It delivers lush, vibrant color that’s immediately appealing and holds up to close scrutiny. The OLED panel is combined with quantum dots, nanocrystals that improve how light scatters through the monitor’s surface and increase the spectrum of colors that can be displayed. Shadow detail is great, too, preserving subtle details in dimly-lit movies or games that are obscured on less capable displays. Scenes that should appear deep and abyssal are exactly that with a minimum brightness of exactly zero nits. OLED panels can turn individual pixels on (and off) independently, which allows for effectively infinite contrast and perfect dark levels. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 has a 49-inch OLED display panel with a resolution of 5120 x 1440. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 can display 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, 96% of Adobe RGB, and 82% of Rec.2020. The OLED G9 is among the most expensive super-ultrawide monitors ever produced but its performance justifies the cost. That is a lower MSRP than Samsung's previous Odyssey Neo G9, a 49-inch super ultrawide with Mini-LED technology, but in reality, the older Neo G9 often sells for around $1,500. The Samsung Odyssey OG9 is priced at $2,200, which is a lot to pay for any computer monitor.
