 Alright guys, Thunder E is back here again and as you can clearly see we're talking about the brand new Samsung Odyssey G9. We saw this monitor at CES 2023, it's a behemoth but this thing is just so nice. Now I got to see it, this is not a review, think of it as my extended gameplay session with the monitor and boy, I've got a lot to talk about. So 49 inch gaming monitor, aesthetically this thing is nice, the first thing you notice at the back is that lighting ring, the LED light ring there which is very customizable on the monitor as well. It's got a thin profile, very nice, you can see the height of the monitor is what you expect for something with a 32 by 9 aspect ratio. It's a QD OLED monitor, Samsung calls it its OLED monitor, 49 inches. The screen is 5,120 by 1440, this thing has a bunch of specs into it. So the curve radius is 1800R which means when you're gaming you still get a good view of everything in front of you, as you see me sitting in front playing different games, I got to try out a ton of games on here but let's go through some of the specs you will find on this monitor. First off, you've got two HDMI ports, HDMI 2.1, one is a standard full HDMI 2.1, the other one is a micro HDMI 2.1, not sure why Samsung, so maybe there's two regular ones. And then there's a display port 1.4 and there's auto switching which creates cleaner connections for a central USB hub. Now this isn't just a monitor, this is also powered as a Samsung hub device as well. What I mean by that is that you have this full Samsung hub which you can go through all the different options, there's the gaming hub, there's the media hub, so you can use this to watch your Netflix shows if you want to or you can connect to things like game streaming services, we will get to that in the section. Now this comes with remote control or white remote matching the aesthetics of the monitor itself and it's a very clean remote, of course you expect it's from Samsung or they're currently running at this point in time. Now you're wondering what about gaming, how was the gaming experience here? So I played a bunch of games, I did play Metal of Honor for a little bit, there's a new map on there, I gotta check it out, ah man I died extensively on that map, but it looked pretty nice and clean and you can see the high refresh rate and response time really come to play, 240 hertz in terms of refresh rate response time 0.03 milliseconds, which is nice. Now I went over to play a game that I can play for a long time which of course is Doom Eternal and there I did much better and Doom Eternal is a very fast game, fast-paced and you can see how it really handles clean on that monitor and also the color gambit showcases because you got 99.3% color a gambit DCI, DCI P3 so it showcases well and also the blacks up to 400 in terms of HDL true blacks so those darker scenes really pop and they show off well with the monitor and it looks very very nice so I like that about it and then I played of course the game that you really want to play on a monitor like this I wish they actually had of course Microsoft Flight Simulator but no that's not the game I played, I played Force Horizon 5 and the landscapes look beautiful, driving, just experiencing the whole vista was impressive with the monitor all the way through. Gaming experience on here, if you're playing a 32 by 9 end game that takes full advantage of that you're going to love it, I think you absolutely will. Now the monitor as I mentioned has of course the different Samsung media hubs so you also have a hub where you can go into office, built in, it also have a hub for gaming a full gaming hub where you can connect to Xbox Game Pass and play, Amazon Luna, any of the game streaming services including Nvidia GeForce now so all you need to do is just connect to your Microsoft controller, you can basically have your PC gaming setup and of course your game streaming setup right there and then you can go to the next hub to go into your general media, watch content of any of your streaming apps. This is all with the touch of the remote, simple, easy, I definitely like that and that's a huge plus. Now there are speakers on this monitor so why don't we take a quick listen to how well the speakers sound. Things are good, it is really nice. Now the monitor also has a few other features to mention, of course you've got a split screen with dual inputs, now they can do it on two inputs so basically physical inputs if you have something on display port 1.4 so your PC and say you have an Xbox or even just cable or anything else connected to the other HDMI 2.1 port you have two inputs and audio will come from either one you're using at the time so I was playing Call of Duty which also looked really good, the single player Call of Duty looked fantastic on here. I liked it, I think it's a solid monitor but I want to know your thoughts, what do you guys think, will you pay $2,100 so basically $2,199 for this monitor, if you do go ahead and use our link down below, you're going to get a $250 gift card for buying this monitor as well so there is some incentives that Samsung has given and price wise it matches a lot of things in that category especially for an only monitor this size, leave your thoughts down below, don't forget to like, share, subscribe and always enjoy entertainment.
