Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The G9 just got BIGGER and BETTER!”.
How do you even beat the Odyssey G9, whether it’s the Neo or the older model? It’S so tough, they’re, amazing! Well guess what at CES 2023 they’ve gotten uh one new model, but two new models for the Odyssey series for the G9 specifically and right here, we’ve got the OLED. This is using the new Samsung OLED panel. The biggest improvement over the mini LED is that you’re gon na have crazy, Lightning Fast pixel response times. It might not get quite as bright, but I’m telling you guys. This thing is absolutely stunning: it gets crazy, bright for being OLED thanks to Samsung’s OLED technology, and I can tell you for a fact that it is colorful and it’s color accurate and it’s just absolutely stunning, because there’s no white subpixel you’re getting a lot of color Pop when you turn up the brightness you’re, not washing anything out, it’s still 240 hertz like the previous model, but now with OLED you’re, getting that insane they’re measuring 0.1 millisecond pixel response time.
Really it’s faster than that. You guys, honestly, everything we’ve tested is like .01 millisecond, if not faster, it is wild. How crazy it is it’s using Quantum dots, so we’ve got top emission so that there’s no layer to punch through with the Odyssey G9 and OLED we’re still on a 1440p panel. At 32, by nine, with a 49 inch screen, this thing is huge, so you’re getting uh 5120 by 1440p resolution. Some people are gon na want 4K and I get it. But honestly, you guys when you’ve got this many pixels, it’s really hard to run games.
The mini LED that we’re going to get to in a bit is 4K, so if you’re excited about that, just stay tuned. The panel construction, as well as the stand and the case is all very similar to the G9 that you’re used to, except with the OLED. At least this thing is just razor thin, it’s crazy! How much panel you can fit into such a small space now, because of that, it’s hard for them to give us some specifics on these things: they’re not not coming out until they say the first half of the year. You know q1 Q2. Maybe we’re trying to not be too specific here, but we’re getting uh, probably an external power brick. So if that’s a huge deal for some people, I mean you might just have to deal with it, because I think it’s worth it. For this thing, all right – let’s check this out. Oh my God, you know as much as I might not be crazy about fortnite.
They really did pick a really good game for a solid example of all of the color, and that’s that’s just gon na pop at you, as you run around it’s just absolutely stunning. I wish I had more information for you guys. Unfortunately, it’s CES and we don’t have too much.
I don’t know what the color gamut is going to be like I, I don’t know what the top brightness is going to be like. I went to Samsung display and saw a bunch of stuff and they’re, quoting you know a hundred plus percent coverage of uh DC ip3. I think they said 90 BT 2020 and in some of their models around 2000 nits.
We probably won’t see 2000. It’S on this display, don’t know what they’re going to actually release with, and we can’t measure it here. Obviously, but considering my other cutie OLED monitor does a thousand nits. This is going to do at least that, if not more because this is Gen 2 uh Samsung OLED technology.
As for the stand, it’s very solid and very stable like we’re, not we can’t. Unfortunately, we can’t move these guys around too much, but they didn’t tell me. I couldn’t jiggle the table and, honestly, you know it’s gon na jiggle when you’re not mounting it on something. These are Vasa mountable.
It should be something very similar to the previous G9 that uses an adapter ring to make sure it can fit onto a vase amount. The only real disadvantage with this guy over the other one is that for graphic designers, uh or just PPI snobs, you are only getting about 109 PPI on this guy versus something more like 139 140 on the mini LED that we’re going to talk about in a Little bit, but once again we can’t look at the back early. We can’t take it apart, so I can’t give you a solid answer right now, being guaranteed that we’re going to cover this thing later on, I’m going to check out the mini LED in a second, but before I do, thanks to our sponsor dbrand for sponsoring this Video, okay, so our sponsor dropped out for CES 2023, but dbrand foot of the bill. They’Re making me come out here on the streets and offer people Tech tips for free, and I hate it.
You want a tech tip, I’m okay, do you know what detective I can give you a tactic. Unfortunately, you don’t want any Tech tips. I just want to offer a tech tip. No Tech tips.
Do you want a tech tip? You don’t want to. Okay, all right. Okay, can I offer you a tech tip Santa’s, the right person, if you put a minus sign in front of a word, it’ll, take it out of the search results, whoever edits this is gon na have a great time watching this footage of me being anxious before I do this to learn more about who made me do this go to shortlineus.com now, as for mini LED, we’ve got the Odyssey Neo G9 57 inch. That’S the only real way to differentiate between them.
If it’s got Neo in the name, it’s probably mini LED if it doesn’t, and it’s got OLED in the name, it’s probably a Samsung OLED panel. As for this, it’s in it’s very much just an upgrade from the previous Neo G9. It’S up to a whopping. 57 inches on top of that, it’s 1 000 are curvature, so you can really get in there and immerse yourself.
It’S also got 4K screens they’re, calling it duhd or dual UHD, because you’ve got basically 7680 by 2160. So it’s essentially one 4K panel. A second 4K panel running at a whopping 240 hertz with about a one millisecond response time. It’S crazy! It’S similar to the previous one, in that it’s got a bit over 2 000 dimming zones, which is pretty wild. That’S over a thousand for basically each 4K screen that you’ve got here. Obviously yeah.
It’S not the same as every pixel is a dimming Zone like the OLED that we just looked at but honestly for mini, LED. That’S really good. Unfortunately, like I said, we can’t really handle these too much, so I can’t look at the back.
I O, but one of the really cool things is. If you just bought an AMD card, these have the new DisplayPort 2.1 ports that I haven’t seen anywhere. I think it’s a world first, don’t quote me on that, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Yet, on top of that, the i o isn’t terrible. We’Ve got a couple of HDMI ports. Now they can’t say whether that’s 2.0 or 2.1, exactly because of the renaming and all that, but what they can tell us is that it’s got 2.1 features like variable, refresh rate. As for the construction, it’s very similar to the previous year’s model, except, I think the stand is a little longer now to account for the significantly larger screen. Otherwise, it’s very much a similar display, like it’s really hard to improve. On that thing, it’s such a beast of a monitor and they’re just making it better for many LED what they’re doing in case you’re going to wear is they’re taking that diode and then they’re, making it significantly smaller. Hence the mini LED like it’s basically self-explanatory. However, what that lets you do is it lets you pack more brightness and punch into every part of the panel, because there’s basically way more of these tiny little lights.
All the way in here lighting everything up. What that’s also going to, let you do is give you a full array, local dimming, so you’re going to have these dimming zones where it’s like. Oh, we can let this single, tiny part of the screen get crazy bright without just over blowing the rest of the image. If a lot of you have, I don’t want to say, cheaper monitors but less expensive ones, and they say something like. Oh, it’s got HDR 600, but it’s just an LED like IPS panel or whatever. Unfortunately, it’s it’s not like. Don’T look at those things with hdr on and think. Oh HDR sucks.
It’S not worth it. That’S not the case. You guys it’s just. Unfortunately, it’s got a price gate to it and as soon as you start spending more money, it gets you stuff, like mini, LED and OLED, which gives you way more dimming zones which lets you like really brighten certain parts of the screen and keep other parts of Them way dimmer and give you like an actually good high dynamic range experience.
Okay, you guys I’ve never used any kind of racing Sim in my life, but I do know how to drive standards. So I’m hoping this goes kind of okay, oh my God. Oh, this is sick. No, it’s not I’m actually pretty good driver. I like to think I am it’s absolutely crazy. How good Ultra wide is, let alone like super ultra wide.
It’S something! That’S like basically, two 4K panels. How many of you have that at home where you’ve got two side-by-side screens and you want to do a big, extended image, but then you’ve got that bar in the center I’ll stop driving. So I get don’t get distracted, no distracted, driving here, one of the best parts about it, though, especially with this thousand dollar curvature, is that you don’t even need to turn your head like. I can just move my eyes and I can see the entire screen because it’s surrounding my entire field of vision, trying to match the curvature of the human eye – it’s fantastic.
I don’t think curved screens make sense on a 16×9 panel. I think you can see everything just fine, even on bigger ones. However, as soon as you start going Ultra wide or super ultra wide, it’s almost key. I don’t like Ultra wide panels that don’t have any curve at all, and it’s actually, my one problem with the Samsung Odyssey OLED is that it’s still only about 1800 R for quite a large screen. A 49 inch panel, aside from the Neo Quantum processor, in both of them that’s really good for upscaling. You’Ve, also got a bunch of Philips hue light control, which is pretty cool, so you actually don’t even have to buy the Box it’ll.
Do it all in one app on top of that? It’S got this super cool world’s first partial, mirroring technology, where you can take basically like a part of the mini map and then cast it to a different screen. Honestly, I have no idea how they managed to improve on the Odyssey Neo G9, which is already a fantastic display, even for the high price tag that it has now. Speaking of that, we don’t have any sort of pricing. We don’t again have like a final release. Date, but if you’re curious about any of that kind of stuff check out the Neo G9 and what it originally went for at MSRP, it’ll probably be something similar, but then account for the significantly larger screen size on that guy and the Improvement to 4K. It’S probably going to be a bit more than that.
As for the OLED, no idea it’s going to be not inexpensive, it’s a premium display both of them and you’re, going to be paying a premium price tag for that. But it’s really hard to explain without having you here in this room with me just how good these displays look. I know that you’re watching this on some, what whatever monitor at home – maybe it’s really high-end – I don’t know, but even then you’re getting whatever compression YouTube is doing like it’s just not going to be a true one-to-one comparison like you’re, going to see with your own Eyes when you’re in person at the event or just when it’s in your home, these things look amazing.
You guys and it’s hard to explain why you might like not necessarily need one of these monitors, but why you might want one when you grow up with a bunch of different panel Technologies and you’ve seen the different pros and cons of each one. This is like the end game at this point, maybe not quite there’s. You know, we’ve got micro LED on the horizon, we’ll see that in a few years, maybe that can finally top OLED or the really high-end mini LED stuff. But, honestly, who knows it’s a speculators? Game at this point, and for now I am super happy to both own some of the Cutie, all that stuff at home and just work with it all the time, because they’re just absolutely stunning displays, if you’ve enjoyed any of this content, make sure to check out All of our other CES 2023 coverage – the short circuit, has been a blast. I can’t wait to check out more of these and I’m gon na go game on that G9.
Over there see you later .
