Samsung’s new Odyssey gaming monitor lineup is gorgeous and I need one
techradar.comSamsung is making the most of Gamescom 2023, with the announcement of two new high-end gaming monitors that could potentially up your gaming prowess and get you to the top of the leader board — if you don’t mind their somewhat goofy size and shape.
The Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch and the Odyssey Ark 55-inch are both on display at the huge European computer and video game event. I’m not there in person, so while we may have to wait a few days to get a proper look and feel for the massive monitors, we do at least have some information about what they look like, and what could separate these new Odyssey gaming monitors from the competition.
The Odyssey Neo G9 is touted as being the first ‘Dual UHD’ monitor on the market. Sitting at a staggering 57-inches and with a 1000R curvature, the gaming monitor will definitely be a conversation starter when propped up on your gaming desk.
In truth, the display can be seen as a bit of overkill when it comes to the sheer size of this absolute unit, and while I was incredibly skeptical at first, I do think there are gamers out there who would truly benefit. The 1,000 nit brightness and Quantum Mini LED panel would — in combination with the curved design — provide a wrap-around immersive experience that gamers, particularly streamers, could greatly enjoy.
With a monitor this size, however, you could potentially clear up your desk and have just one big, snazzy display — rather than a staggered collection of two or three smaller monitors that you work on simultaneously.
In terms of connectivity, the Odyssey Neo G9 is packing some future-proof features. Display Port 2.1 will support video playback and resolution up to, and even greater than 8K. Obviously, most of us currently don’t have any need
