Samsung Opens New Era of OLED Gaming with Global Launch of Odyssey OLED G9

The world’s first DQHD OLED monitor features AI upscaling and an incredibly fast 0.03ms response time (GtG) to bring gamers closer to the action

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 13 June 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the global launch of the Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor (G95SC model), which has been enhanced with next-level AI upscaling technology. Building on the success of last year’s Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB), the new monitor joins the lineup to open a new era of OLED gaming.

“Last year, Samsung addressed the demands and expectations of even the most experienced gamers with the launch of the Odyssey OLED G8,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the introduction of the Odyssey OLED G9, equipped with unrivalled picture quality, we are excited to offer our customers these powerful gaming monitors and raise the bar for OLED gaming.”

Measuring 49 inches in size with a 1800R curvature, the Odyssey OLED G9 is the first OLED monitor to offer Dual Quad High Definition (DQHD; 5,120 x 1,440) resolution with a 32:9 ratio. The large and wide screen ratio enable users to lose themselves in super-ultrawide vistas — equivalent to two QHD screens side by side. At the same time, its rapid 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time and 240Hz refresh rate offer players a competitive edge.

The addition of the Neo Quantum Processor Pro sets the Odyssey OLED G9 apart from other OLED gaming monitors. Using a deep learning algorithm, it intelligently analyses images and automatically upscales to adjust brightness while amplifying contrast. This enables the monitor to restore each detail and deliver the most brilliant images, pixel by pixel.

AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro further enhances the Odyssey OLED G9’s super smooth gameplay experience. With DisplayHDR™ True Black 400, the monitor delivers incredible details and vivid colours regardless of the game being played or the content the user is watching.

The Odyssey OLED G9 features a slim design housed within a sleek metal frame. On the back of the monitor is the much-loved CoreSync and Core Lighting+ which uses advanced lighting technology to match the colours on-screen, making content more immersive and bringing the gaming experience to life. Built-in stereo speakers complement on-screen content with crisp sound.

Unrivalled Choice on a Detailed, Vivid Display

Equipped with smart TV apps, the Odyssey OLED G9 provides access to streaming and entertainment all in one place. Users can watch their favourite shows from leading OTT (over-the-top) service providers without a connection to a PC or mobile device[1].

The Multi View offering allows users to take full advantage of the large display by enabling game play on up to two screens at once. This means that gamers now can enjoy multitasking without the hassle of a multiple-monitor setup.

The Odyssey OLED G9 offers a variety of convenient functions and features that provide an optimised experience whether gaming or viewing. Versatile connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and Micro HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4, and Auto Source Switch+, create cleaner connections from one central USB hub while providing a seamless experience regardless of the content source. The Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) enables users to find the perfect gaming or viewing position, regardless of what they are playing.

Local Availability and Pricing

The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) is now available for preorder in Singapore, with general availability starting 26 June at S$3,399 (including GST).

In addition, consumers who preorder the Odyssey OLED G9 will receive a complimentary Galaxy Tab S7 FE Wi-Fi 64GB (worth S$755)[2].

The new Odyssey OLED G9 will be available on the Samsung Online Store, the Samsung Official Store on Lazada and Shopee, as well as major consumer electronics and IT retailers.

A.S. Watson CEO Speaks about ‘Adaptive Change’ at Consumer Goods Business Global Summit in Kyoto

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 12 June 2023 – Experts participated in the plenary session, “The World is Changing, Consumers are Changing – We Need to Change Too” at The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Global Summit 2023 at Kyoto, Japan.

Caption

Malina Ngai, Chief Executive Officer of A.S. Watson (Asia & Europe) joined panelists CGF Board Co-Chairs Frans Muller and Dirk Van de Put to address the global change agenda for retailers and manufacturers.

Despite the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic over the past few years, A.S. Watson Group, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer, has continued to expand and grow. Compared to the year 2019 (prior to the pandemic), the company has increased its global presence by adding three new markets, namely UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, bringing the total to 28 markets, and has expanded its global store network to over 16,100 stores. Moreover, A.S. Watson’s global member base has grown significantly from 137 million in 2019 to 148 million this year. The resilience is a testament to A.S. Watson’s agility and adaptability in response to a rapidly changing world and customers.

“First of all, we should see changes as new opportunities. Today, consumers are becoming more emotional, more unpredictable, more educated, and more socially conscious. They want more choices, more deals, and have less time and loyalty,” Ngai said.

“It’s becoming very complex to run a retail business because it’s not only about trying to win customers’ share of wallet but also share of time. Time is a new currency. With the constant change in their behaviours, retailers and manufacturers need to adapt accordingly and with pace.”

Caption

Ngai explained the way to approach change, “Using the Chinese words for business ‘生意’ (Sheng Yi), it incorporates the concept of customer centricity. The first word 生 (Sheng) means lively, we need to be flexible and not rigid. The second character 意 (Yi) is made up of three parts: 立 – Determination, 日 – Every day and 心 – Think from Customers’ Perspective.

Ngai believes that to create sustainable growth, adaptive change is required and business needs to be determined to work tirelessly every day, listen to and meet customer needs.

“With sustainability being high on customers’ mind, businesses need to align their purpose with the customers’ values so that we can jointly create a more positive impact on the planet.”

Concluding her speech, Ngai urged all companies, big and small, from all geographic locations to work together towards sustainability, “The subject of sustainability is far-reaching and requires collective efforts between retailers and manufacturers to create significant impact.”
