You can now reserve the new Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor

Samsung is now letting you reserve the Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor. In case you were unaware, that’s the upcoming ultrawide gaming monitor that was announced at CES 2023 earlier this year alongside the new Odyssey Neo G9.

On the outside it looks fairly similar to Samsung’s other Odyssey G9 models. Save the wider, flat base of the stand and the slightly different color of the screen’s back and frame. But functionally it has a lot of the same features. A 240Hz refresh rate, a 49-inch screen, and HDMI 2.1 support just to name a few. For the most part, it should be a pretty good monitor for gaming. Assuming you want something that appears large and unwieldly. And you actually have the space on your desk to fit it.

There’s just one minor detail that you would think would matter. What the actual cost is of the monitor is. Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t officially announced the price of the Odyssey OLED G9. So you have no idea how much you’re paying in the end. Samsung also hasn’t confirmed a launch date. So, without knowing the cost or availability, why would you put down a reservation? Simple. You basically get free money. Kind of.

If you reserve the Odyssey OLED G9 you save $50

If you reserve the monitor, then Samsung will take $50 off the price of the monitor when you buy it. Plus, if you pre-order you get even more benefits.

Placing a pre-order on the monitor will afford you a $250 e-gift card that can be used. There are some restrictions on it though. You can’t use it towards the purchase price of the monitor. Not just because Samsung won’t let you. But because, according to Samsung, you won’t even receive it until up to 35 days after the monitor purchase. You also have to use the e-gift card at Samsung’s website or in the Samsung app on other Samsung products.

But all of that aside, if you want a new monitor for your game setup, this one should be available for pre-order in the near future. Seeing as how Samsung is now trying to secure reservations for it. If you feel like reserving, you can do so here.
