![]() It’s actually a downgrade from the prior model, which had one HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort ports. Samsung’s inclusion of two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort might sound like an upgrade, but it’s not. This includes the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti in my desktop, so I was limited to a refresh rate of 120Hz on my main gaming rig (I also tested with an RTX 30-series laptop). Cards prior to Nvidia’s RTX 20-series and AMD’s 5000-series lack this feature. The monitor’s maximum 240Hz refresh rate is only available over DisplayPort 1.4, and only with a video card that supports Display Stream Compression (DSC). The HDMI 2.1 ports can handle a refresh rate up to 144Hz. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, an upgrade from HDMI 2.0 on last year’s G9, and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. You might want to look up your monitor arm’s maximum weight, however, as the Neo G9’s display panel tips the scales at a hefty 26 pounds. VESA mounting is supported with an included adapter. The tilt and swivel action are well-tuned, making it possible to adjust the monitor with a light yet intentional touch. It keeps the monitor stable and includes adjustment for height, tilt, and swivel. Still, I can’t help but think the monitor would be more practical with a less extreme curve and a stand that trades size for heft. This is a big monitor with a big curve, so it’s going to take up space. You might need to plan a desk upgrade to go along with the monitor. The full depth is 17 inches which, on my desk, places the edges of the monitor closer to the front of the desk than the rear. The stand is an absolute unit that measures 31 inches wide and 9 inches deep. Samsung also leaves the monitor’s functional problems untouched. This is where you’ll find the monitor's customizable RGB light. There’s also a vent-like ring rounding the stand’s connection with the monitor. A vent near the top provides sporty flair and the massive stand makes a statement on any desk. Why mess with what works? The Neo G9’s glossy white rear plastic looks sleek, futuristic, and luxurious. I don’t blame Samsung for keeping the prior model’s look. The only aesthetic change is on the monitor’s lower left bezel, where the prior model’s bright green Nvidia G-Sync logo is replaced by a more subtle monochrome badge. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9’s exterior is nearly identical to last year’s G9. ![]() Samsung US has it currently on discount as well, but the US$1,699.99 price tag is more than US$200 higher than Amazon's ongoing deal.The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 delivers all of the above yet suffers new problems that take the shine off its best feature. The Samsung Galaxy Neo G9 G95NA is also VESA mount-compatible. ![]() The retail package includes the monitor, a power cable, a USB cable, as well as a HDMI cable. In the meantime, the number of reviews has reached a value of 993, while the product's global rating also went up a bit, climbing to 4.1/5 stars. This 49-inch behemoth features user-adjustable height, pivot, swivel, tilt, and Samsung Infinity Core Lighting to provide the best set of ergonomic options on the market.īack in December 2022, the Samsung Galaxy Neo G9 G95NA had less than 800 user reviews on Amazon and a rating of 4/5 stars. The highlights of this curved gaming monitor include 1 ms response time, 240 Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, 5,120 X 1,440 pixels, 420 lumen typical brightness, 178-degree viewing angles, as well as a Samsung Mini LED Quantum Matrix VA panel with no less than 2,048 dimming zones. Released in late July 2021, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NA (model LS49AG952NNXZA) is now discounted by 37%, so its US$2,299.99 list price is down to a more wallet-friendly US$1,449.99. Although its high-end successor with a QD OLED panel has been unveiled at CES 2023 and should arrive later this year, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NA remains a relevant curved gaming monitor for those who like to keep their gaming experience big.
