Elon Musk uses a Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor at the White House

Elon Musk is wealthy enough to afford any gaming PC and peripherals. After all, he is the richest person in the world, with a net worth of roughly $433 billion as of 2025. But if you were to ask him what his favorite PC monitor brand is, there is a high probability he would say Samsung. Here is why.

A photo captured and shared on social media by New York Times reporter Kate Conger last month features Elon Musk's gaming PC, which he installed at his White House office.

Using this photo, PC enthusiasts and gamers have tried to figure out Elon Musk's gaming PC configuration and found some interesting quirks, such as the fact that the GPU Elon uses might not be powerful enough to drive the monitor's maximum resolution in the video games Elon is known to enjoy, i.e., Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 (via TweakTown).

Speaking of which, there is almost no doubt about the monitor. Elon Musk uses either a Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 or QD-OLED G9 ultra-wide curved monitor. These models have a Dual QHD resolution and a refresh rate of up to 240Hz.

To be fair, nobody knows if Elon Musk is actually playing video games on his PC at the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) office at the White House. Sure enough, Samsung advertises the Odyssey OLED and QD-OLED G9 as gaming monitors, but Elon Musk could be using his Odyssey for office work just as well.

If you are interested in the 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9, it's actually available on sale right now, and you can get a pretty good deal from Samsung's e-shop in the USA. It's $851 off. The Odyssey QD-OLED is also available at a $700 discount.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
