As if a 500Hz OLED had not been sufficient, Samsung has 2 various other displays it’s revealing at CES 2025, both of which are relatively one-of-a-kind. The headliner is a 4K screen that appears at 37 inches, which, also after placing my eyes on actually thousands of video gaming displays, I have actually never ever experienced prior to.
That could not seem like a huge bargain, however if you check out video gaming displays over 32 inches, you begin to recognize that it is. When checking out a normal 16:9 screen, the large bulk of displays peak at 32 inches. Over that, you leap right to 40 or 42 inches, with television panels repurposed right into video gaming displays– that holds true with my very own KTC G42P5.
Samsung is breaking the distinction right here. You can discover displays over 32 inches, however the large bulk of them are 21:9 screens. Currently, players ultimately have a choice when 32 inches isn’t rather huge sufficient, however a full-on television is way too much.
The various other screen Samsung displayed is a bit various. The Odyssey G7 is a 21:9 screen, however it includes a 5K resolution. It resembles LG’s 5K2K screen, which we learnt more about a couple of weeks back, however without an OLED panel under the hood.
Still, it’s rather the screen. With a 5,120 x 2,160 resolution and a dimension of 40 inches, the Odyssey G7 appear at a pixel thickness of 139 pixels per inch. That’s high. A lot of displays go for a pixel thickness of 100 pixels per inch, so the Odyssey G7 is a fair bit in advance. It’s not as high as the pixel thickness I just recently saw on the Asus ROG PG27UCDM, however it’s close.
Beyond the pixel thickness, the Odyssey G7 includes a 180Hz revitalize price and a 1ms gray-to-gray feedback time, according to Samsung. It additionally comes accredited with VESA’s DisplayHDR 600 and Samsung’s very own HDR10+ Video gaming requirement, which makes use of vibrant metadata for HDR in video games.
As is normal with Samsung’s brand-new displays at CES, we do not have any type of prices or launch day information yet. Samsung is typically a little bit slower to launch brand-new displays contrasted to enthusiast-focused brand names like MSI and Asus, so I think we’ll see the displays towards the center of the year. That’s simply an assumption today, though.
