https://www.tweaktown.com/news/displays_projectors/index.html Samsung announced its new Odyssey G7 and Odyssey G9 gaming monitors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year -- but now, they're available for pre-order. There are three different models to choose from, with the larger-than-life 49-inch Odyssey G9 coming in with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution and 1000 nits of brightness. Samsung's other two are in the Odyssey G7 family, with a 27-inch and 32-inch gaming monitor each with a native 2560 x 1440 resolution and 600 nits of brightness. Samsung uses a flagship QLED panel on the larger 49-inch Odyssey G9, while the lesser (and thus, cheaper) Odyssey G7 gaming monitors use a cheaper VA panel. But, all three models have a ridiculous 240Hz refersh rate -- so if you're buying the Odyssey G9, you might want to wait for that next-gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 or RDNA 2-based Radeon from AMD. Samsung has pre-orders open now, with shipping to start on July 13, 2020. As for pricing, this is what you're looking at: 49-inch Odyssey G9: $1700 32-inch Odyssey G7: $800 27-inch Odyssey G7: $700 I suppose if you want the ultimate monitor you have to pay for the privilege.

That is a price that should make one wait for third party reviews

49 is way to big for many users ,they should make g9 in smaller dimensions

Not really, it's like a dual display desktop. Very common thing.

I have seen more and more extra wide displays, they seem to be overpriced and uninspiring generally.
I have a standard 4K screen which I play games on and watch feature films too

for gaming not at all ,gamers are using 1 monitor and sitting in front of a 49in monitor i dont think its ideal.

The G7 is available for pre-order on Amazon - release date July 14th, 2020 (direct from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller). G7 27" $699.99 [ link] G7 32" $799.99 [ link] I'll be interested in seeing the reviews on this, although I'm not planning on getting a curved monitor, partly due to the depth of desk space it takes up. I don't see the G9 listed yet on Amazon.

It's a huge monitor but the price isn't exactly shocking for the specs. We all expected them to be high but it is a monitor you probably could own for a long time before needing to upgrade.

It's also not relevant to a lot of other things, but you do not invalidate the usefulness of double screen desktop real estate based on your gaming bias. Gaming is not the measure of everyone's needs.

you are correct ,BUT G9 is advertised as gaming monitor.
