Samsung’s 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 curved gaming monitor transports you to the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise (or the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, if you’re more of a Star Wars person). And for the next couple of days, you can take 36% off during Prime Big Deal Days, which takes place on October 8 and 9. The 7680p x 2160p resolution effectively puts two 4K displays side by side for a 32:9 aspect ratio.
The massive screen immerses you in any game, whether you’re piloting a Formula 1 car around Spa-Francorchamps in Assetto Corsa or getting lost in the dystopian universe of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s also great for multitasking at work, editing photos and videos, streaming or just leaving a chaotic amount of Google Chrome windows open.
Aside from the massive $900 savings, there’s even more to love about this screen’s impressive width and resolution too. The HDR1000 display uses the same level of brightness as modern films and TV shows, so colors will appear exactly as the cinematographer intended. You’ll notice the difference in games like and films with dark scenes. And then there’s the curve: It mimics the curvature of the human eye so you can scan across the screen without straining your eyeballs.
Leave Lag in the Dust
The underlying technology is great for gaming, thanks to a speedy 240Hz refresh rate that cuts down on lag and a 1 millisecond response time for minimal motion blur. You can also sync the monitor to a graphics card such as AMD’s Freesync Premium Pro or NVIDIA’s G-SYNC series if you’re looking to minimize input lag.
In our experience with the monitor, Tech Reader’ lead reporter of PC hardware, Jacob Roach, gave it his seal of approval. Especially impressed by its resolution, Roach raved, “The 2023 Odyssey Neo G9 has a “dual UHD” resolution, which basically puts two 4K displays next to each other. That shakes out to a resolution of 7,680 x 2,160, while its previous version comes with a dual 1440p resolution, which comes out to 5,120 x 1,440 — giving it a significant step up in resolution.”
Finally, it’s easy to live with. You get three HDMI 2.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB ports to connect a variety of devices. The monitor tilts up and down, swivels side to side and has adjustable height, too. Samsung’s Gaming Hub also integrates your favorite streaming platforms and gaming consoles as well as Smart TV apps and smart home devices.
The Odyssey Neo G9 is sure to be a hot-ticket item for Prime Big Deal Days, so if you’re looking to upgrade your gaming setup, add this deal to our cart before it’s gone!
