Samsung's Odyssey G9 is likely the world's most popular ultrawide and the new models they were showing off at CES seem to be better than ever. Plouffe (who owns an Alienware AW3423DW if you forgot) is here to take a look to see at the new OLED G9 and 54" Mini-LED monitors to see if this is truly peak monitor.

as scared as that makes me, i could use a tech tip.....
Isn’t it an 8K ?
Just not funny. Not everyone is a comedian.
@@DrNoBrazil I don't think he's trying to be funny. He looks genuinely repulsed by having to do the thing most people hate; being solicited by a stanger. Not to mention it's just a weird thing to be asking people. Not sure how asking people if they want a tech tip is suppose to increase brand awareness for dbrand. I guess I don't see the big picture. To be honest I'm not even sure why dbrand continues to sponsor LTT. Unless it's just an act or exaggeration for the videos, my impressions soley from LTT's dbrand sponsor segments, I get the impression dbrand is a bad company and that LTT is begrudgingly taking their sponsorship for the money and not because they believe in their product. It's very confusing.
should change it from him asking, to stating " did you know... enjoy your tech tip."
Really a bummer that physical stores are disappearing, would love to go see these in person and test them like the old days.
glad I have a microcenter nearby to be honest lol

Why did they drop the QD-Oled branding? I actually liked it made it easy for consumers to differentiate
They never dropped it. Samsung never used that on their own QD OLED monitors to begin with, they've always just called it OLED. Other companies like alienware have been more clear and have used the QD OLED branding.
Samsung Electronics has been anti-OLED for years, it's only in the last couple years that they've sold OLED panels at all. Samsung Electronics previously touted their mini Q-LED panels as being superior. Samsung Electronics is begrudgingly using Samsung Display's QD-OLED panels.
@@spewp Sometimes I forget that Samsung is a conglomerate and not just one unified company. Samsung Electronics takes the L once again, another gigachad Samsung Display W fr fr

Would absolutely love a full break down on this monitor when it releases! I'd like to see how it works for editing, color grading, etc, as well as general purpose productivity. Something i always wanted to see implemented on this monitor was a 21:9 of a game in the middle and then have half on each side for discord or spotify etc. Thanks!
Crazy how I’m watching this on my Oled G9
Plouffe did an amazing job with this. I love his enthusiasm when it comes to monitors.
I like how he also brings up his qd oled to compare XD
@@realghostxd as joked as it is, it makes it better. Plouffe has one of the best monitors on the market. It gives him something to compare to solidly. So when another monitor comes along that he considers good, you know it's coming from a place of genuine understanding.
@@hoofhearted4 yeah, I have the monitor too, so I guess I can have a understanding of what his thoughts are.. regarding the new monitors he's been checking out. Even the lcd panels he checks out, in the short circuit videos, he mentions about his monitor briefly, so I know I'm not missing out XD
@@realghostxd the Alienware is my target monitor to buy. Hopefully this year but we'll see.
@@realghostxd you have to know, he owns a display
Thank you, that you have mentioned how different the experience with HDR is. Many people say it exactly as you described it: "HDR is not important to me" ... "YES, BECAUSE YOU USE HDR 400 IPS"
Can confirm, really like my Odyssey Neo G9, I mostly use it in PBP mode though because most games I have can't even run at 240hz at that resolution.
It's capped at 120Hz, though. You are really missing out. I would recommend playing in full screen with black bars instead
u just need 4090 sli🤣🤣
Holy cow, just found this. Been running the old G9 since it came out. Excited to upgrade!
I got my aw3423dw this week and am blown away by it, the g9 oled looks insane though! A bit too big for my desk.
I had super ultra wide I sent it back after a week, it felt too wide and lacking in vertical hight also some games look wired on the sides. Love my Alienware qd oled, just wish they made 38” whilst keeping the same PPI
On the other hand I moved from a g9 to the aw3423dwf and not going to lie there's not really any wow factor while using it in comparison since the neo qled are very good, so they both feel the same. But viewing angles are crazy on the Alienware. Going to try driving the Alienware for longer but both monitors are great. G9 OLED is both in one, just wished it was taller
I have an og G9 and use it as 2x27" monitors, one thing you need to mention that you only get adaptive sync without using PIP/PBP, also you are limited to 120Hz. I need to turn off PIP/PBP in order to use everything the monitor offers (240Hz, adaptive sync and HDR)
I'm glad to see a large panel that isn't a VA panel. Depending on what comes out later this year, I may pick one up... maybe.
These are definitely going to be at least $2,000+. That's just so much money to spend on a monitor even though I'd love every bit of it. On top of that, you'd need a $1000+ GPU to run those resolutions at such high frames. Lol
@@wombat5252 I have a G9 paired with a 3080 and you're pretty spot on. The resolution isn't even the worst part. It's the VRAM too. I cannot run DOOM with RT on, DLSS, MAX settings on my 3080 since it runs out of VRAM. It only gets worse in the future too. It's amazing though, I will never switch to a non 32:9 monitor, but damn is it expensive. And not to mention Samsung's down right awful firmware. My monitor didn't even work properly for the first few months.
@@alisso23e Glad it's all working for you now. I'm sure it's still a beautiful picture. I mean, you could go out and buy the 4090 but $1500+ LOL GPU prices are just so stupid now. It sucks. I need to finally upgrade but I can't justify so much money on just a GPU. I miss when you could buy the best of the best cards for only $500-600 at most. That was many years ago though.
@@alisso23e What? That can't be! Nvidia promised the 10G are going to be enough for everything! /s
@@wombat5252 LMAO, I was unironically looking at picking up a 4090 at one point. But after seeing the insane price, and not to mention that you have to buy it from a scalper I just couldn't justify it. TBH the best move is just buying the best GPU you can afford from the last gen. A buddy of mine was able to pick up a 3090 used for 750 a few weeks ago.
11:07 oh crap i'm on camera, okay.. play it cool just walk off normally * walks off like npc from gta *
Old 49" G9 owner here, this guy covered everything amazingly, you can tell he knows his stuff. Excited to upgrade to the OLED one. Hope the bugs/glitches from the original G9 are solved.
What are the bugs?
pay attention this is only 1800R ! not 1000R curve 😢
You should do high speed camera tests with these new OLED displays.
Great video thank you for your work! Wow these monitors are going crazy the samsung oled g9 looks really awesome but im not that big of a fan of 32:9 monitors so i will get the samsung oled g8 cant wait!
External power brick is really good! I hate coil whine and having the brick outside means I can hide it somewhere where I won't hear it
monitors unboxed just reviewed a monitor that has coil whine and separated power brick. the whine is coming from the monitor itself.
@@metallurgico What's meant by coil wine?
@@Daniel-dj7fh it's an electrical noise.. like the sound that electric scooters or electric cars do when accelerating or simply travelling. It's the sound of some electronic components that vibrates so high it generates sound waves. Electric motors do have similar sounds but it's not a sign of defect in this case.
@@metallurgico Ah you mean the Grid frequency, 50 or 60Hz noise. Have never really noticed such a thing on my monitory. Got a 24" Odyssey and an old 4:5 Dell Monitor. One with an external power brick one with an internal one.
@@metallurgico My dad said it could also be harmonics or overload resonances.
i really hope those 4k screens can have split vrr cause ive been looking for something that does side by side monitors with independent vrr on both so gsync can be used on one for gaming
I’ve never heard of this technology and would like more information if you can please share.
You would need a split panel, when 4k was new that's what alot of the tn panels did and it was awful.
That would be awesome. I would also settle for just a "use VRR on this input" type system and let the other side of the screen be static. I'd also like for HDR to work in Picture by Picture mode as it should be possible with mini-LED, even if it means both inputs have to be run in HDR mode as a compromise. Unfortunately I don't think either of these will happen.
Really wanna get one of these. Ever since getting the Alienware one years ago, I can’t go back to 16:9. UW plus oled or mini led sounds absolutely amazing.
I'm so the opposite, I bought that OG Alienware 21:9 curved monitor but returned as it just felt like I was missing the top half of my screen, rather than feeling like I got more width. I'm now on a 42" LG C2 OLED and it's pretty baller! Also like half the price of all these things.
quality review, really good intro/explanation
Have had the G9 Neo for about 6 months now, and i can safely say it's the best purchase i've ever done for gaming! Can never go back to anything other! Running it with a 3090, so i'm good for a couple of years at least😊
same here! its amazing!
Returned the same one to the store today after 9 months of pain, and I'm happy.
@@Tolk2402 what was the problem?
You millionair or something damn thats sick. That Neo is like 2000 dollars and that card is like 1500?
@@AverageJoe1006 g9 Neo for 2200 euro and the 3090 was 2200 euro aswell at the time I bought it
I'm glad Plouffe is the one who got to host this video. After all, he is indeed the owner of a display.
OMG i have been waiting for this screen to come out for years ,, im deffo getting one when it arrives on the shelves :)
Finally. I was waiting for this monitor every since they announced the original G9. This is going to be awesome for space sims. 😍
"If it's got OLED in the name, it's probably OLED" Plouffe really has some impressive powers of deduction!
The end game is when we can look at a screen and genuinely have to think is it a screen or am I looking at a reflection/window And it's actually scary how quick we're getting there considering I am a 2000 child and have seen tech go from crt to this in my very short life
I mean honestly we already are there if we wanted too. We can pack the pixels in tight enough, we've proven that on phone Oled panels, it'd just a matter of having them convincingly bright, though there are subtle effects from a window that they'll never imitate properly like sun rays cast into the room at the angle of the sun etc. Also yeah, as someone born in 1998, I agree display tech has advanced leaps and bounds over the last 15 years especially.
Your eyes can judge distance so that'll never happen.
Having 4k oled laptop screen I can say that without proper 3d spatial screens that point will never be anywhere near
@@Chipsaru I don't remember ever mentioning 3d tech once if I'm being honest. There's literally a single device on the entire laptop market using it.
you missed green and B/W CRTs lol
Love plouffe covering monitors and display tech
I've got a G9 on my sim rig and love it, only desire is more vertical height that you can get with triples
Having just bought a proper HDR TV for gaming on I agree with the comments on HDR. You've got to see it to appreciate it.
I have the G9 and HDR kinda just graysclaes everything for me.
I actually switched from a curved ultra-wise back to a standard screen, and the first thing I missed was the curved panel. So I can say that even for a regular display, I so want the curve, lol!
I’m so tempted to switch from my older 3440x1440 IPs curved monitor to a 42inch oled but I dunno if I deal with non curved and go back to 16:9
@@datatron100 I ordered the Alienware ultra wide as my new monittor coming in next week. I'll get my curve back. The C2 OLED was looking good, but no curve makes it a dealbreaker for me
@@nauscakes1868 and for u what is better g9 or c2? for gaming
@@anuarde I don't like either of those two choices, but if I had to pick one, I would go with the C2. The super ultrawide of the G9 is a dealbreaker for me.
just got the oled version today, beast of a monitor for sure. still waiting on you guys review though.
Honestly.. Was looking at the neo g7.. Was looking at it as a possible desktop monitor/desk movie watching option.. That's comfortably at the very top of my budget costing merely 8 times my current monitor.. But will probably wait for the 4070 or something to release and buy everything together
Though I'm so glad they have an OLED panel finally, I think I'll wait for the next gen, I want the same resolution as the new NEO, as well as the same Curve. I have the OG G9 and I'll stick with it till then.
When the time comes, send your old one over? Please? 🥺
I hope Dbrand makes Riley do this all the time. Love the drive thru lol
Been saving for an ultra wide can't wait for this
I can't even imagine! When I got my g9 neo last year, I thought this is it, as good as it gets. Little did I know.
Finally, a bigger ultrawide. The 49 inch one is fine, but the height can be a bit short in some cases (it only equals to a 27 inch one after all). This solves that, hope it becomes mainstream.
@@naota3k The OLED one. The other is 57.
Isnt this one the same 49 inch
So this one is taller?
That dual 4k is going to be a nightmare to drive though, even 5120x1440 is just under a single 4k screen, so with high end gpus its not bad, but gaming on a dual 4k you're going to be running garbage settings or under 60fps
@@KPalmTheWise Yes, it will be hard to drive. I csn drive my dual 1440p one even with a 2060 (not in ultra of course), for the dual 4k I'd need something much stronger. But it's still a great work monitor for me, all I need is a really wide screen and a lot of pixels. This monitor is an overkill for that, but maybe others will make it in a more affordable package.
Thank you for this! I've been waiting ages for an Oled SuperUltraWide and currently have the similar 49" monitor (s49a95u) from Samsung in terms of PPI and resolution but with a traditional VA panel. It is awesome for productivity and the 120hz is so-so for casual gaming. I appriciate that they DID NOT make the oled a 1000R curve and kept it a 1800R! Strong curve might be great for gaming but simply just takes up too much space (even mounted on a wall) and requires a certain position in front of it to be optimal. Now, Nicholas didn't meation it, but I am pretty sure it also features an integrated Thunderbolt dock, which is basically a requirement for the segment of endusers I think they are aiming for; adults that uses it for productivity via employers laptop, enjoys the occasional gaming from a powerfull desktop and the ability to watch endless Disney Frozen video on KZhead with the kids, but at the same time do it with the best possible quality. And the Neo with the 1000R curve is aimed towards gamers at a higher level. Good job Samsung - take my money!
For me its the opposite, I have a corner desk so I need the 1000R or it just won't fit. Big downside for productivity on the QD-OLED though is the issues with clear type. I don't know if I could handle that
@@KPalmTheWise makes sense actually with the corner office. Hope that the cleartype thing is just a matter of time before it get fixed.
@@KPalmTheWise what's cleartyps
120hz "so-so" for gaming. LOL you have to reach 120FPS at such Resolution first bro :D
@@S.V.23 i am in some games. But it is possible to set resolution to “normal” resolutions with the image centeret. Also, sometimes when using the full image I get dizzy, so some games I Play i regular 16:9
Is the 57" the same aspect ratio as the oled, so wider, or is it the same width and taller? I run a 38" UW and always found the 49" ones too short for my work.
4:27 I was a missionary once many years ago. So I feel the anxiety of doing this to such level. I'm glad I went out, but boy it was hard
I've been using the original G9, got it about 4 months after it first came out, and I love it. The only thing that would make me upgrade was an OLED with the same aspect ratio.... Man though I fear the cost of this. I'm expecting like $2500.
Easily going to be over $2k lol
I'm in the same position. I adore mine, it's amazing and exactly what I wanted. It looks ridiculously big from a distance but as soon as you're in front of it it feels totally natural. As you say, the only thing that would ever make me upgrade is an OLED panel. But given my OG G9 was ~$2400NZD when I got it, this thing is going to be well over $3000NZD and that's gonna be impossible to justify. This one already forced me into a 3080 just to run it properly
I wouldn't be mad if it's $2500. I'll just sell my current two 1440p G9s and G8 for that beauty
A 7680x2160 OLED display would be my ultimate dream.
@@indigomizumi I don't think my computer could drive that. Like I have a 3080 and my G9 now gets good FPS no doubt, but I would have to buy like a 4090ti to actually do that I'm sure.
I used to have two 4k panels side by side. I was totally waiting for this monitor to release but they kept releasing 1440p panels instead. I went with the lg c2 and I'm happy with it. I can only imagine what the price of that monster screen will be when it finally comes out

@@tuukkav1876 yeah. I lost some horizontal space but gained some vertical space. I use fancy zones, so I just made a new layout to utilize the space. I also use wallpaper engine from steam to have live wallpapers so I'm not stuck with a black background

Why Samsung doesnt make it 4K instead of 1440p
@@XxApo07xX They literally announced 7680x2160 res 57” G9
Wish they kept the more aggressive curve on the OLED, I have an OG G9 and I don’t think could use it as easily with an 1800R
The intro is really cool!
BUT WHY IS IT 1800R AND NOT 1000R?! (talking about the OLED, not the new NEO) I love my G9, and I thought I could use my G9 as secondary and have them both with the same radius. Now it would look weird having two massive screens with different curves.
at 9:09 he says something about the bar in the middle if you use 2 screens, i use 3 TV's, a 72, and two 42"s in portrait mode getting the same format. i usually run it in 1440p but it can run 4k, they're all 4Kp and 60 is all i need so... star citizen looks beautiful on them. i got motion sickness the one time even, sat too close.
I have a Neo G9 and love it. I bought it in Aug '21 as a birthday present for myself. One of the best upgrades I've made. My old Asus Predator G27 4K now sits at the end of the Neo G9's curve ;-) I'd love to upgrade to the new Neo G9 57", but don't think I can justify it so soon... I'll be happy enough on the 49" Neo G9 for a while yet. Playing games that properly support 32:9 like Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Sim, Sea of Thieves, and many more, is just amazing!! So immersive.
I’m currently running a 34 inch ultrawide I wanna upgrade from and a 27 inch vertical setup next to it, your desk must be huge to fit a G9 and a 27 inch on it, I doubt I could do that and keep my pc on my desk sadly.
That's awesome! Is there a way to get games that don't support ultra wide displays to play nice with your Neo G9 too? What's your experience been?
@@benjaminschultz6501 flawless wide-screen, or usually you can find nexus mod to fix 32:9 support
Like many others, I brought the Odyssey Neo G9, albeit at a cheaper price and good deal in the latter of 2022, nearly half price sale so grabbed a bargain, so however much I want to have the new monitor coming out, I am happy to wait until the middle of 2023 or later for the new monitor so that I'm not literally paying for two monitors in a year, we're not all made of money 🤪
This ain't it. We need 1000R with QD-OLED with 2160p ultrawide AND it doesn't get as bright appearently?.. sorry skip
The OLED is AMAZING!
Are you planning to do a video on the G70 43"? It's a bit of a lesser display in comparison to these G9 models, but would be interesting to hear more details about that one. I can see it pop up briefly in that minimap thing.
That size up close is going to tire eyes very fast. I tried the Samsung QN95 for a while at a distance roughly the same and set it to ultrawide mode and my eyes were taking a pounding!
I got the Alienware version at 21:9, first time I got into Ultrawide field and wow, I was blown away. I can’t image how big is the 32:9, sadly not even the 4090 will be able to push high fps in its native resolution.
Surely it can. 2x1440p is still less than simple 4K. My 4090 can run most games just fine on my 4K 240hz G8 so this will be even easier to run
Except if you’re talking about the 57“ 2x4K, then yes, it will have a hard time with that monitor
I own the first g9 and i love it so much. I dont think i can go back to 16:9 monitor now lol Anyway, that 57' monitor really intrigue me
im in the same boat, really dont know if i rather upgrade to the oled or the 57 inch
@@marvinvogtde for me the 1800R curve kills the OLED for me. I have the original G9 and love it, my friend loved it too so he got a different 32:9 49" monitor with a way less aggressive curve, and I hate his monitor.
I love the monitor, but for whatever reason they were very prone to defects. Return multiple because of very large numbers of dead pixels before getting a good one, and found out that this was a similar experience for other people trying to buy one. If the one you found wasn't defective, people loved it and it is an awesome monitor, but it sort of was a roulette of getting a good product.
@@gqqggq7127 that's pretty much any display though tbh. Particularly with OLED
@@gqqggq7127 second this. it's a complex piece of hardware, probably one of the beefiest monitors out there, so the possibility of a defect is high, especially with this pixel count
Would you recommend waiting to get my hands on the Oled or getting the g9 neo that’s out right now? I have a decent rig with a 3070 OC and an i7-10700K and I’m wondering if my GPU could handle running this OLED monitor.
I bought the original g9 on black friday. Realized my 1070 probably wouldn't run it that well. Got a 3070 with a 7950x. I get like 60fps. At medium graphics I can maybe get 120. It's nice though. For general use it's real nice.
I've been looking for a pair of 32" 4k displays with high refresh rates and good HDR. Amazingly, it looks like the new 57" Neo will beat any other options to the market and deal with the center bezel to boot.
Gigabyte has 32" 4k 1ms 144-240hrz screens with HDR. 600$-700$ depending on curve or no curve and the stand/mount options.
This ain't it. We need 1000R with QD-OLED with 2160p ultrawide AND it doesn't get as bright appearently?.. sorry skip
yes, so much this! Dual-4K curved ultrawide, here we go, finally.
I've been using the Samsung 43" for the past 4 years ... I originally wanted the Ark but too many issues for the cost but I absolutely want that G9 Neo 57" be damn the cost!
I have a 13900k and a 4090.. I’m wondering if I should go with this monitor when it comes out or stick to the regular 49” neo g9
Does the OLED one use a standard RGB sub-pixel layout?
Brightness isn't always something I look for in displays. Mainly because even just an hour with high brightness gives me a migraine. But this might just replace both of my G9s!
You might get a headache
Both g9's? Flex much?
The high brightness isnt so much for normal use, its more for HDR content. Highlights that are really bright while keeping the rest of the screen dimmer is what makes some scenes look more real, more beautiful. I could never use my g9 at max brightness all the time, I have it set permanently to 45% brightness which only gets higher in HDR mode, but as I said only in the highlights.
I'd totally consider buying one of these if it was OLED along with full 2160 4k vertical resolution as well.
I've got my first g9 oddysey last year for 1200$ cad, with my 3080ti, completely smooth with widescreen support with some games.. the best purchase of my life
I like James' Extra Audition there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do you beat Odyssey G9? You make a monitor that doesn't break after 3 months.
😂 me laughing at myself for getting the g9 neo last month
If you like the curve the OLED isn't really a replacement. I love the 1000R and now I don't know if I want the OLED one, since stacking them would look ugly.
@@vanthome yeah as soon I heard the OLED wasn’t as curved I’m good with mine
I’m curious to know if they fixed video mode when you watch a KZhead video or Netflix if it is a full screen experience
10:05 do you know if they are gonna bring that to the Samsung G9 NEO too? (the 'old' one)
I have an LG OLED C2. I can absolutely say that OLED is by far the best picture even if it doesn't get as bright (For me it's plenty bright). I can't go back. It's just rough when the price of OLED is still way up there especially for monitors. The price tags push people away.
i have a c1 and man do i wish it was brighter especially for watching tv during the daytime. With anti burn in measures that dim the screen for white backgrounds and stuff its not fantastic as a monitor. I'd almost prefer mini-led if they can fit more zones in
@@brigham1465 Even during the daylight mine is plenty bright enough. Did you turn off the energy saving mode? It's sort of hidden in the settings menu. They all have it automatically turned on. Turn that off and it's WAY brighter. I don't even turn mine on max brightness. You can turn off that auto dimming feature as well. If you really want to go crazy and don't have a warranty to worry about, Amazon sells the ''service'' remote that allows access to even more technical features. It just voids your warranty if you change the settings you don't normally have access to.
@@wombat5252 damn you were right thanks i'ma use that for darker filmed stuff in the future
I hope this one is better made than the G9 neo. I've sent one back already because the screen died in less than a year and the second is starting to become unresponsive when trying to wake even when pressing the power button.
Watching this on my Neo G9 :D and probably will be upgrading to the micro when it comes out.
TBH, I think 1440p is the sweet spot right now. 4k is nice, if you can drive at the frame rates you want, and that doesn't come cheap. I have the original g9 (and a g7) which I'm happy with, I'm not so sure if I necessarily want to go oled yet because my setup will be susceptible for burn-in but looks and sounds great!
I don‘t think so. The Cards are fast enough today and if you can purchase a Neo g9 you should be able to afford a 4090.
@@pascalb2279 But at what cost? Sure, increasing the power limit to let the video cards go crazy just to achieve those frame rates are not worth it. And of course it's not perfect so stability becomes an issue. I'll be sticking with my 3090 well into the decade at least until they get things back to more reasonable levels.
The old one was very prone to coming with lots of dead pixels, and having to return multiple to get non-defective product.
And clicking noise
is there any news on a g7 or g8 with an oled panel??
The G9 8K is now the ultimate racing sim display. True, a lot of sim rigs had triple 4K and not just double 4K, but the convenience of the single display and running at 240hz makes this highly appealing.
Hate to say before actually watching the video: You beat the Odyssey G9 by having better firmware support than Samsung...
As amazing as this is, I’m not sure there are a lot of games that even support this aspect ratio. Hell, I don’t think most movies support this.
Movies not but most games are fine. Source: I own a G9.
You are right. Most games and movies don't really support it. But that's no problem if you have a OLED screen you can just set your game to 21:9 or 16:9 and just leave the black bars at the side because of the OLED Pixels
@@jannesreu4500 Wont that burn-in unevenly the side pixels?
@@jannesreu4500 I have played more games that have it than games that don't. There are a few games but usually it works fine.
Yeah, I got an LG 4k OLED instead, since every game and movie supports 16:9, makes everything much better instead of having black bars everywhere.
cant complain on my 3 32" 1440p curved displays even on 1 i love the curveture
6:35 The new Neo 🙄 is 2x4K240, meaning it should require around 160 Gbps bandwith to get its signal. That’s something not even DP 2.1 can handle. DSC compresses it down to around 43 Gbps which fits into HDMI 2.1 or DP 2.0. Does that mean I can get the full resolution and frame-rate with an Nvidia card?
samsung is measuring .1 ms response times, but really its faster than that guys. this is honestly the first time ive had a issue with what was said in a video, id rather see legit proof that it is, rather than someone trying to oversell a product without legit proof in the video
Anyone know if the new 57" panel has the built in speakers like the Ark does? That's all that's really missing for me from these G9s. I love my G9 but when your display takes up a large chunk of your desk it's tough to find space for speakers/studio monitors. Having them baked into the display would be a big win.
I got youtube ads mid-video! (Twice) I didn't think LTT done that! Still a quality video as always.
Woah! Posted 24 seconds ago.
I have a monitor
I can't wait to see the G9s in the studio!
best sponsor spots ever with those tech tips
Cost estimates? Also what is better? Oled 240hz or led 240 4k for gaming?
I wish you could have provided more info about HDMI support on the 57" model. At CES based on other videos I think they are running on AMD 7900 XTX which supports DP 2.1. I really want to know what it supports over HDMI 2.1 because with Display Stream Compression it should be possible to reach 240 Hz @ 8-bit color and about 200-220 Hz @ 10-bit color. I imagine people with 4090 cards like me would be the most interested in the mini-LED dual 4K.
DSC on Odyssey G9 - scanlines - weird that LTT has stopped mentioning the things that mean everything to a consumer, instead it's just an ad
I've got a G9 neo and I'm going to get one of these two monitors. I love my G9, it has been the single biggest upgrade to my gaming experience in years. While expensive I cannot recommend these monitors enough.
Wife got me one for xmas and my birthday combined. It is sick as hell.
What kind of games do you expect to enjoy this the most? Not counting Star Citizen
@@VulcanXIV wife and I are enjoying generation zero quite a bit.
What kind of power do you need to drive that OLED? I have a 3090 and im wondering if to get everything out of it you need a 4090. I also like to turn visuals high up.
Since 3 of my (very first 32:9) CHG90 died due the PSU, i'm happy to hear that the PowerBrick is external and replaceable.
So is the new Neo taller or just wider? What parts size is bigger? Is it just diagonally . I always felt this monitor was just not tall enough
i need that 57" one NOW. it solves like 4 problems i currently have. NOW!!
I have g9 first generation and happy with it.
This video convinced me to return my Odyssey Ark. after just a week of having it I’m disappointed with it. Would you recommend the lg flex over the new G9?
9:28 For curvy monitors the virtual camera of game engine must have same curvy projection, and neither games does have it, all of them are common rectangular. So only flat screen must gives right experience.
i was wondering if Plouffe even owned an OLED, glad he cleared that up at the end.
What connector is used to run the new 57" model at it's full specs? Are the 4000 series gpus capable of outputting such a high res image at that refresh rate and color depth with DSC? Or would it require a newer AMD card?
watching this on a g9 i bought a few months ago at 700€ makes me happy. im sticking with this one.
how manny instances of vlc media player fit on the screen? asking for a friend.
I hope one of the things they improve is the quality control
