THE CURVEįirst up we have that Curve, because other than the older G9 Model, this is the only screen that has a 1000R Curve which basically means that the curve is much curvier than any other screen. If I don't cover something in this post then just ask in the comments down below, because yes I am actually planning on keeping this for the foreseeable future, even with a few issues. Like I said before, I paid for this myself, I spent over £1,800 on this thing, and in fact, this is probably one of the very few reviews from someone who has actually bought one themselves and not been given one by Samsung to review. Speaking of price - I know this is a new product, but if I spot any discounts or if you want to just go and grab one yourself then I'll include some links down below to buy this one, or the slightly older version if you want to grab one for yourself. The price for the G9 Neo has also gone up because this cost me over £1,800 and in the US it comes in at $2,499. Secondly, we now have 3 quick buttons that switch between Game Mode 1, 2, and 3, which is great to switch between different refresh rates and picture modes. This G9 Neo now has 2x HDMI Inputs instead of 1 and 1 DisplayPort instead of 2. THE CHANGESįirstly, Samsung decided to change the inputs on this thing - for no reason at all. Though there are a couple of notable differences, which I only came across after going to plug this thing in. It's still 5120x1440, still a beautiful 1000R Curve, still has G-Sync and FreeSync, picture in picture and picture by picture, HDMI 2.1, and of course 240Hz. Now aside from the new panel itself, not much has changed. When it comes to what's new with this over the previous generation, we now have a new Mini LED Panel which not only makes this one of the brightest screens I've ever seen at over 2300 nits, but also means it has much deeper, darker blacks, better contrast, and does fix most of the issues and complaints about my previous G9. I've been using the old G9 for a whole year now, but that didn't come without its own issues.įlickering, issues enabling HDR, even after multiple firmware updates, and a whole lot more - but today! Today! I've finally gotten my hands on the newer version, the G9 Neo, which is certainly an upgrade to the G9, and whilst it is by far the BEST monitor I've ever had and I do plan on keeping it, it's also been a real pain in the arse too. Samsung didn't send it to me, and I'm not going to send it back.Ī year ago on this website, I reviewed the original G9 and before that, I had the Dell 49" Ultrawide. This is probably, the only honest review of the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo on YouTube right now, because I actually bought this monitor myself.
