Samsung debuts Odyssey Neo G9 dual UHD gaming monitor

This new gaming monitor from Samsung brings a whole new wide field of view on one display. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 delivers a 7,680 x 2,160 resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio, which the company says is a world first. This 100R curved 57-inch screen uses quantum mini LED technology with VESA Display HDR 1000 specification to make it easier to see shadows and bright screens in your game. Samsung pairs that with a Matte Display finish reducing light reflection and a 240Hz refresh rate for fast-paced gameplay.

The company also claims that the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 gets the world's first DisplayPort 2.1 support, which transfers data approximately twice as fast as DisplayPort 1.4. This new standard allows for lossless Display Stream Compression, so it transmits information without distortion. We don't have any pricing information just yet, but it is coming to CES 2023 alongside other new displays from Samsung.

Samsung's Odyssey Neo G9 will be 'first' 8K ultrawide gaming display

With the launch of AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GPUs, Samsung wants to arm you with a gaming display that can support 8K video. The company has teased that its next-generation version of the Odyssey Neo G9 will be the first 8K ultrawide gaming monitor. We're expected to see the full launch at CES in January. But this monitor requires a DisplayPort 2.1-capable video to get the most out of it. According to AMD, the 8K is "horizontal only" so you may not get as many vertical pixels as you want.

As for content, AMD has said some games will run on its card with the help of upscaling, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Death Stranding, Modern Warfare 2, and Uncharted, but we don't know how well native 8K will perform just yet.
