Samsung Odyssey G9 Gaming monitorSamsung sets the standard for great technology across many product categories, especially great display technologies. Samsung televisions and Samsung monitors are in a class by themselves for bringing brilliant digital experiences to our homes. And every year Samsung raises the bar with their new products. The latest example is their new line of Odyssey monitors. We just reviewed the largest and most impressive monitor you ever find, the Samsung Odyssey G9 on the Best Buy blog. Now we are giving away the blogger samples in this contest.

Surround yourself with Samsung’s ultimate gaming monitor

You want to be “in the moment” while gaming, fully immersed in the experience. For that, a curved gaming monitor is optimal. And the Samsung Odyssey G9 with its 49″ screen, and 1000R curvature, running 240Hz with a 1ms response time is pretty much as good as you can get. The 1000R curvature is optimal for human eyesight and very rare in a super large screen (most curved monitors have a more easily produced, less pronounced curve like 1500R or 1800R). The display also features Samsung’s new Quantum MiniLEDs for stunning visuals, and Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) to allow the bright display to selectively darken black areas of the screen for refined contrast. In addition, this monitor’s components for game synchronization, connectivity, etc are all top of the line. This monitor will put you in the driver seat like you’ve never experienced in your life.

We sent two of these monitors to writers Matthew Rondina and Christian Jarry for honest reviews. Read what the reviewers have to say and watch their videos to see just how impressive gaming can become when you have a monitor of this calibre.

Samsung monitors and televisions for all of your entertainment

The high quality of this Samsung display will come as no surprise to anyone with a Samsung television. There too, Samsung brings technological brilliance to meet all of your entertainment needs—including gaming entertainment. Many of their new televisions have high refresh rates, low response times, and settings like “Game Mode” to deliver stunning gaming on even their largest screens.

The choice of whether to buy a gaming TV or a gaming monitor just became more difficult with the arrival of the Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor. It’s size, curvature, and other features that have been discussed above make it an obvious choice for gamers wanting the most realistic and all-in immersive experience. You don’t have to choose one or the other if you happen to win this contest. However, read the details below carefully so you have the best chance to win.

  1. That response time (1 MS!!! HOLY) is INCREDIBLE! Would make my competitive games so much better

  2. I would be most excited to have the ultra wide experience, I also love that they are using the QminiLED tech for outstanding picture quality.

  3. I am excited about the curvature, the 49″ screen space. the Quantum miniLed color and the 240hz refresh rate so I can see all my work quickly

  4. I am excited about the 1000R curvature, the 240Hz and the 1ms response time
    It looks interesting and quick

  5. I’m looking forward to playing with it. The Samsung Odyssey G9 is a pretty good monitor. There’s something exciting about the 1000R curvature, the 240Hz and the 1ms response time .

  6. I’m most exited about the curvature of this monitor and the total real estate that is usable for productivity. Yes I know, very boring but I’m working from home a fair amount of time each week and having two windows side by side without having to downsize either of them would be amazing! For gaming the high refresh rate would be great and not mentioned in the article is the fact that this monitor is also G-Sync compatible which would add to the smoothness in-game for those with NVidia graphics cards.

  7. I like the fact that the 1000R curvature on the Samsung Odyssey G9 is not as pronounced as other curved monitors. I have not used curved monitors for long time frames but on a 49″ wide monitor of this size, it certainly does help in day to day usage. The support for 240hz refresh rates and 1ms response times make this a ideal ultrawide screen monitor for playing racing/flight sim games.

  8. curvature and the response time.i think the curved screen would make some of the games feel more real.

  9. Microsoft Flight Simulator (PC)-playing in the cockpit view with the 1000R curvature will feel actually being in a plane

  10. 240Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time gives you the advantage when gaming first person shooters like call of duty

  11. I am most excited for the insanely wide aspect ratio, and the contrast ratio provided by mini LEDs

  12. The features I am most excited for are it’s 49″ size and it’s 240 hz refresh rate. The large size would be very helpful during coding and the hugh refresh rate would would be easy on the eyes.

  13. Most excited about the curvature, the 49″ screen space. the Quantum miniLed color and the 240hz refresh rate.

  14. Most excited about the curvature, the 49″ screen space. the Quantum miniLed color and the 240hz refresh rate.

  20. Wow, this monitor’s components for game synchronization, connectivity, etc are all top of the line. My boys would love playing Grand Tourismo on this !! Thanks for the opportunity!!

  21. The 240Hz refresh rate ultrawide will be amazing. I wonder if my gaming rig can even generate that many frames.

  22. I would be most excited to play Dying Light 2 Stay Human on this monitor because I’ve been told going from 1080p @60Hz to any 1440p monitor would be such an incredible jump not to mention that it is 5120×1440 @240Hz? This would be a SERIOUS GAME CHANGER!

  23. I am most excited about the 1000R curved screen as it will be a game changer for my peripheral vision.
