At CES 2023, Samsung has announced its 2023 line-up of monitors including a large curved 49-inch 240Hz QD-OLED monitor and an even larger 57-inch curved 'dual UHD' 240Hz miniLED LCD monitor.
In addition to last year's 34-inch Odyssey G8 QD-OLED, Samsung will soon launch the 49-inch Odyssey G9 (G95SC) which is also based on the novel QD-OLED display technology that offers much improved HDR, higher contrast and deeper blacks compared to traditional LCD monitors due to QD-OLED's pixel-level luminance and color control.

Samsung's Odyssey G9 is curved with 5120x1440 resolution in 32:9 aspect ratio. It is Samsung's first 240Hz QD-OLED monitor that should also provide a significantly improved gaming experience in terms of speed versus the company's 240Hz LCDs due to OLED's faster response time, which for G9 is specified to 0.1 ms. The company did not specify peak brightness.
