The 2025 Odyssey G9 is on its way to the USA, but here is why you may want to skip it and go straight to buying the 2023 Odyssey QD-OLED G9.

Samsung is about to add a new Odyssey G9 ultra-wide curved monitor to its lineup. You can now reserve the 2025 model in the USA, but if you're looking for the best value for your money, you should definitely consider the Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (G95SC).

Yes, the Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (G95SC) is a couple of years old. Why would you pick the 2023 Odyssey QD-OLED G9 model instead of reserving the 2025 Odyssey G9, you ask? Several reasons:

The Odyssey QD-OLED G9 is technically superior to the 2025 Odyssey G9. While the QD-OLED G9 is a higher-end variant, the Odyssey G9 is a more budget alternative that has a similar form factor.

The 2023 model has a QD-OLED display instead of a VA panel. It boasts a higher refresh rate of 240Hz instead of 144Hz.

The 2023 monitor has 99% DCI color gamut coverage, whereas the 2025 cheaper model covers 92%.

The Odyssey QD-OLED G9 is now available at a massive $700 discount and offers a whole lot of value for the price. The G95SC is now available for $1,099 instead of $1,799.

And here's a fun fact for you, albeit one you shouldn't base your purchase on. The Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (or its OLED G9 sibling) is the same monitor that was captured in a photo on Elon Musk's desk at the White House. Regardless of the man's alleged gaming habits, we can't deny he has good taste in monitors.

Samsung hasn't announced the price of the 2025 Odyssey G9 in the USA, but in Korea, the monitor went on sale for around $1,000. The Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (2023) now costs about the same, thanks to this $700 discount, but you're getting a lot more value in terms of hardware specifications.

Now, you might just want to buy a 2025 monitor no matter what. We won't argue with that, even though we think the QD-OLED G9 is a better deal for the discounted price.

Nevertheless, if you want a 2025 model for about the same price as the discounted QD-OLED G9, we're estimating that the Odyssey G9 will go on sale in the USA for around or above $1,000. You can reserve it and secure a $50 discount once pre-orders open next month.
