![]() ![]() There are also some changes in the Infinity Core lighting at the back of the monitor. The mini-LEDs mean that the panel on the Neo G9 is not edge-lit, meaning that the backlight is going to be a lot more consistent throughout the massive real estate of this monitor. ![]() The standard ensures the highest levels of detail in shadows and highlights, especially thanks to the mini-LED technology. Staying on the changes made to the display, the peak brightness of the Neo G9 has doubled from 1000 nits to 2000! This allows the Neo G9 to become HDR 2000 certified, unprecedented in consumer-grade displays. With the increased number of local dimming zones, the halo effect hasn’t been completely removed, but it is now limited to edge cases, such as moving a white mouse cursor over a completely black background, as opposed to having it be noticeable in content. This gives the Neo G9 many more local dimming zones from 10 to 2048! The 10 local dimming zones in the original G9 meant that moving a bright object (such as a mouse cursor) over a dark background would result in some rather noticeable halo around the object, especially if you were looking at it from an angle. By far the biggest change, however, is the use of mini LED backlighting. Overall, the changes made in the Neo G9 are rather subtle and require a bit of attention. With that said, let’s see how the Neo G9 aims to improve upon the G9’s incredibly solid ground. They were also way too many to be included here, so if you want to get a comprehensive look at them, we suggest you read our original Samsung Odyssey G9 review before proceeding. ![]() Suffice it to say, the features found on the original G9, were already groundbreaking. It already had a 5120×1440 resolution with a ridiculously high brightness of 1000 nits and an even more ridiculous refresh rate of 240hz! And more features that we’ll go through over the course of this article. It already boasted a 49” canvas with an intense curve of 1000R (as curved as displays can get). The G9 was already equipped with Samsung’s QLED technology with deep blacks and vivid colors. It is difficult to top what was already by far the most complete monitor to ever be released. But apparently, Samsung felt that it could push the boundaries even further, so they decided to release the successor to the G9 : the Odyssey Neo G9. It was an overkill monitor with a price tag to match. It was armed to the teeth with a feature-set that was/is impossible to find in any other monitor. Samsung’s Odyssey G9 already set the bar for gaming monitors when it came out in August of last year. ![]()
