00:00Last time we checked out the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9,
00:05which was very impressive at 49 inches,
00:07but now we got something even bigger.
00:09This right here is the Odyssey Neo G9,
00:13which is 57 inches, two 32 inch monitors in one.
00:17This is taking things to a whole new level.
00:19Let's check it out.
00:23At 57 inches, this ultrawide monitor
00:25makes the 49 inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 seem tiny.
00:29In fact, the Odyssey Neo G9
00:31is effectively a larger version of the latter.
00:33That's not a problem considering how the Odyssey OLED G9
00:36is one of the best curved monitors we ever tested.
00:39I was impressed by the Odyssey Neo G9's
00:42immersive 1000R curved OLED display,
00:45sharp resolution, smooth refresh rate,
00:47and fast response time.
00:49I'll need more hands-on time to render a final verdict,
00:51but based on my experience,
00:52the Odyssey Neo G9 could be a stellar gaming monitor
00:55for those who have space on their gaming desk
00:57and who could afford it.
01:00At 57 inches wide, the Odyssey Neo G9
01:02is absolutely enormous, but that wide field of view
01:05provides for an immersive gaming experience.
01:07The V-shaped stand is wide,
01:08but its thin legs don't take up much space.
01:10If you like placing your gaming keyboard
01:12at an angle while gaming,
01:13the stand's legs shouldn't get in your way.
01:15Like the Odyssey OLED G9,
01:17the Odyssey Neo G9 has an all-silver chassis
01:20covering its back.
01:21There's also RGB lighting surrounding the monitor mount,
01:24and in case you're wondering,
01:25you can configure the RGB lighting to correspond
01:28with what's happening on display
01:29for that extra level of immersion.
01:33Not only is its 1000R curvature immersive,
01:35but images look bright and colorful
01:37at a sharp 7680 by 2160 resolution.
01:40I tested a range of titles with different visual styles.
01:43Fortnite, with its cartoonish art style and bold colors,
01:46looked phenomenal on the Odyssey Neo G9.
01:49Not only that, but the sharp resolution
01:51and 32 by 9 aspect ratio allowed me to see players
01:53who were trying to sneak up on me.
01:55Call of Duty Warzone's comparatively realistic graphics
01:58also look great on the monitor.
01:59Samsung says the monitor's quantum matrix technology
02:03with quantum mini LEDs creates controlled brightness
02:06and improved contrast for better definition.
02:08We'll need to get the Odyssey Neo G9 into our testing lab
02:11to confirm these claims, but to my eyes,
02:13the monitor delivers excellent image quality.
02:16Like the Odyssey OLED G9,
02:18the Odyssey Neo G9 allows for picture-in-picture
02:20from two different sources simultaneously.
02:22You'll be able to, for example,
02:25view a console game on one part of the display
02:27and a website on the other.
02:28The 240 hertz refresh rate helped make Fortnite,
02:31Call of Duty Warzone, and Need for Speed Unbound
02:33run buttery smooth.
02:35The Odyssey Neo G9 features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro,
02:38which serves to prevent screen tearing and stuttering.
02:42You can pre-order the Samsung Odyssey G9 starting today,
02:45and the monitor is scheduled to debut in October.
02:47Anyone who pre-orders before October 1st
02:49receives a $500 Samsung credit.
02:52While the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9
02:54might be an oversized version
02:55of the already gargantuan Odyssey OLED G9,
02:58it seems to tick all the right boxes
03:00for what I personally look for in a gaming monitor.
03:02Its impressive field of view,
03:04smooth and fast performance, elegant design,
03:06and sharp visuals are all top-notch.
03:09All right, guys, so that was our look at the Odyssey Neo G9,
03:1257-inch gaming monitor.
03:14Again, really impressive stuff,
03:16and I think you guys are gonna enjoy it.
