The G9 just got BIGGER and BETTER! - Samsung Odyssey G9 2023

how do you even beat the Odyssey G9 [Music] 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 [Music] 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 16x9 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 gonna go game on that G9 over there see you later
