Samsung Unveils World’s First Dual UHD Gaming Monitor, Odyssey Neo G9 57-Inch with Quantum Mini LED Lighting

PC gamers on the lookout for a new king of UW displays may want to sit back as Samsung unveils the world’s first Dual UHD gaming monitor. It was originally announced at CES 2023 and Samsung is now showing off the new monitor, along with its updated 2023 Odyssey Ark 55”, at Gamescom 2023, which by the way, after Tuesday night’s NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 reveal, and now this, is shaping up to be like CES part two. The Odyssey Neo G9 57″ has a resolution of 7680 x 2160 (32:9) with a refresh rate of 240 Hz (1 ms GtG), uses Quantum Mini LED lighting, with 1x DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR) and 3x HDMI 2.1 ports. It is VESA DisplayHDR 1000 / HDR 10+ certified and supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. Samsung plans to launch the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ in October for $2,499.99.

As Samsung unveils the world’s first Dual UHD gaming monitor the sticker shock, while still higher than most would like to pay, should be noted as being still quite a bit lower than the first 4K OLED displays that debuted only just a few years back and were half the size. At 57″, and a 1000R curvature, the Odyssey Neo G9 has a lot going for it but potential owners will have to plan accordingly to accommodate the footprint of such a large display.

Official Announcement (via Samsung Newsroom):

“We’re continually pushing the boundaries of what gaming monitors can do to deliver what today’s gamers want – larger screen sizes with ultra-high resolution for the latest video games,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Display & Home Entertainment Divisions, Samsung Electronics America. “As the leader in gaming display technology, we’re offering more screen choices than ever – from desktop monitors to large displays – so gamers can create their perfect setup. The Neo G9 57” and the 2023 Ark offer gamers theater-like, immersive gaming experiences and outstanding picture quality for any style of gameplay.”

Defy Reality and Conquer All with the Odyssey Neo G9 57”

The Odyssey Neo G9 57” (G95NC) is designed to deliver groundbreaking visual experiences for gamers looking to enhance performance and sharpen their competitive edge. With the world’s first Dual Ultra-High-Definition (DUHD) screen and a suite of high-speed connectivity options, the Odyssey Neo G9 57” earned a Best of Innovation Award at CES 2023.

The 1000R curvature in the 57” 32:9 screen is as wide as two 32” UHD monitors, wrapping around users with pin-sharp images and a wide field of view, immersing them into their games like never before.

Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers smaller, more discrete dimming zones. The result is a better distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and less blooming.

The Odyssey Neo G9 57” makes the most out of its Quantum Mini LED lighting by combining it with VESA Display HDR™1000. With 1,000 nit peak brightness, HDR content appears vivid and life-like, with accurate color and contrast reproduction, as well as enhanced color expression and depth.

The gaming performance matches the level of visual quality to help gamers meet their full potential. 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time deliver less blur and minimized ghosting, allowing gamers to react instantly and seal their victory with a smooth viewing experience and exhilarating gameplay. Plus, AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro syncs the screen for a stable, stutter-free picture.

The Odyssey Neo G9 57” offers VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity, which supports smooth gaming, efficient video playback and the Neo G9’s DUHD resolution with a refresh rate up to 240Hz. In addition to the DP2.1, the Odyssey Neo G9 57” also offers HDMI 2.1 and a USB hub, so gamers can hook up all their devices and elevate their game with less mess.

“By bringing DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to their premium gaming monitor, Samsung is opening new doors for gamers,” said Scott Herkelman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “More bandwidth, higher speeds and faster refresh rates provide new levels of performance and visual fidelity in games, and together the new Samsung displays and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics cards will deliver the most vivid and immersive gaming experiences yet.”

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the Odyssey Neo G9 57” in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desk clean from clutter, while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture mode offer multiple inputs at one look, and the monitor use Auto Source Switch+ to instantly connect to new devices without flipping through input sources. An ergonomic stand, Core Lighting+ and CoreSync make the monitor fit in any environment and match the mood of the game with ambient lighting.“
