According to tomshardware reports, Samsung will launch CES 2023 in advance and launch two new monitors for the gaming crowd: the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 and the 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9. Both monitors are sure to make gamers sway, but the former is insane specs-wise. The
's massive 57-inch panel features dual UHD resolutions, which means it's the equivalent of two 4K monitors side by side. Combined with the 1000R curve, the latest Odyssey Neo G9 offers a resolution of 7680 x 2160 with an aspect ratio of 32:9.
While this dizzying resolution sounds appealing, you'll need something like Nvidia's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card to even entertain games at 7680 x 2160. That being said, the Odyssey Neo G9 supports the new DisplayPort 2.1 standard (which supports lossless display stream compression) and supports refresh rates up to 240Hz.
The panel features mini-LED backlight technology, which helps increase the native contrast ratio (1,000,000:1) and improve dynamic range. Additionally, it features a matte finish, which helps reduce distracting reflections from such a large display.
If the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 is too overbearing for your desk, Samsung also announced the Odyssey OLED G9. If you recall, Samsung announced the Odyssey OLED G2022 at IFA 8, which features a 34-inch (3440 x 1440) 1800R panel with a 175Hz refresh rate, 0.1ms response time, and VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification.
The Odyssey OLED G9 increases the panel size to 49 inches while maintaining the 1800R curvature and VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black status. However, the display resolution of the Quantum Dot-OLED panel jumps to 5120 x 1440, with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
maximum refresh rate increased from 175Hz to 240Hz. Finally, Samsung has enhanced the Odyssey OLED G9 with its Samsung Game Center, which provides in-monitor streaming access to cloud services like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming without requiring a direct connection to a PC or console.
Unfortunately, Samsung didn't provide us with pricing or availability for the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC) and 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC). However, we have a feeling both will make a mad dash to the top of our list of the best gaming monitors.
