Samsung has announced the release date and price of its 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor, which boasts a Dual UHD resolution of 7,680 x 2,160 pixels and a 240Hz refresh rate. The monitor, which was first revealed at CES 2023, will be available in the US in October for $2,499.99, and in the UK for £2,199.99.
A massive monitor with Quantum Mini LED technology
The Odyssey Neo G9 is a massive monitor that curves around the user with a 1000R curvature and a 32:9 aspect ratio. It is equivalent to having two 32-inch 4K monitors side by side, offering a wide field of view and immersive gaming experience. The monitor uses Quantum Mini LED technology, which allows for smaller and more precise dimming zones, resulting in better contrast and less blooming. The monitor also supports VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, which means it can reach a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and deliver vivid and realistic HDR content.
A gaming monitor with high performance and connectivity
The Odyssey Neo G9 is not only impressive in terms of size and picture quality, but also in terms of gaming performance and connectivity. The monitor has a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, which reduce blur and ghosting and enable smooth and responsive gameplay. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, which synchronizes the screen with the graphics card to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. Additionally, the monitor features VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity, which can support the Dual UHD resolution with up to 240Hz refresh rate. The monitor also has three HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB hub for connecting multiple devices.
A premium monitor with gaming aesthetics
The Odyssey Neo G9 is a premium monitor that comes with a hefty price tag, but also with gaming aesthetics that match its performance. The monitor has a glossy white exterior and a futuristic design that resembles a spaceship. The monitor also has an Infinity Core Lighting system on the back, which can display 52 colors and five lighting effects. The monitor also comes with a built-in KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch, which allows users to control multiple devices with one keyboard and mouse.
A new addition to the Odyssey lineup
The Odyssey Neo G9 is the latest addition to Samsung’s Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors, which includes various models ranging from 24 inches to 55 inches in size. Samsung also announced the release window for the 2023 version of its 55-inch Odyssey Ark monitor, which will be available in the US in October. The Odyssey Ark is a flat-screen monitor that can display up to four inputs on the screen at once, making it ideal for multitasking and productivity.
Samsung is aiming to cater to different needs and preferences of gamers with its diverse portfolio of gaming monitors. The Odyssey Neo G9 is designed for gamers who want a large and immersive screen with high resolution and performance, while the Odyssey Ark is designed for gamers who want a versatile and flexible screen with multiple inputs.
