It took a while,Horror but Samsung's big, curved Odyssey monitors are available for pre-order.
Announced at CES 2020, the Odyssey lineup is aimed at gamers and consists of three models: the humongous, 49-inch Odyssey G9, and the slightly less extreme Odyssey G7, which comes in 27- and 32-inch sizes.
At CES, Samsung revealed the monitors' specs, which include a QLED display, 5,120 x 1,440 pixel resolution, and 1,000 nit brightness levels for the G9.

What makes these super special (besides the fancy design and the blue lighting on the back) is the extreme curvature of the screens, which matches the curve of the human eye according to Samsung. The company calls these monitors "1,000 R," which corresponds to the radius the monitor's curve would deliver if it formed a complete circle. The Odyssey models are, by far, the curviest monitors in Samsung's lineup.
