Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 S49AG95 49" DQHD Ultra-Wide Mini-LED Gaming Monitor (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is a new flagship 1000R-curved ultra-wide gaming monitor. An upgrade from the original Odyssey G9, this 49-inch Dual-QHD monitor now employs Mini-LED backlighting for even better contrast and dynamic range.
This is highlighted by the Odyssey Neo G9's support of Quantum Matrix HDR2000, which is one of the highest HDR level available in a gaming monitor today. Another area where Samsung has upgraded is in I/O: the Neo G9 comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports that further improves high-refresh-rate gaming.
Beyond these upgrades, the Neo G9 inherits all the features of the original G9, including 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and ultra-low 2ms input lag.

Peak brightness now tops out at a dazzling 2,000 nits, with 2,048 dimming zones providing much better contrast.

Reviewer score 85%Huge contrast and deep black point means that games and films have incredible punch, subtlety and depth. Connectivity is handled by two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 connection. Neo still has its ring of RGB LEDs, but they’re still only configurable in fifty-two colours. The Neo also has a feature called CoreSync, which matches the lights to the colours produced in games.

Pros
- Superb contrast ratio
- Impressive sRGB gamut
- Superb colour accuracy
Cons
- No 120Hz refresh rate
