We expect similar image quality out of both displays. It’s great to see the 2023 model with a third-party badge for HDR, even if both displays are capable of impressive HDR visuals. The previous version has Samsung’s own Quantum HDR 2,000, which isn’t a real certification. That could mean the previous version has more impressive HDR, but we haven’t had a chance to test the 2023 model yet.Ī feather in the 2023 model’s cap is VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification. Given the higher resolution of the 2023 model, we expected to see a higher local dimming zone count. The 2023 Odyssey Neo G9 comes with 2,392 local dimming zones, while the previous version has 2,048. That enables a huge number of local dimming zones. Both use VA panels instead, with Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED backlight. Neither of the Odyssey Neo G9 models sport an OLED panel - for that, you’ll need the Odyssey OLED G9, which is a 49-inch super ultrawide monitor. Nvidia’s most recent GPUs will work with the monitor, but you’ll need to use lossless compression. Currently, only AMD’s most recent GPUs like the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT support DisplayPort 2.1. That connection is a significant spec for the new display.
The only difference is that the 2023 model uses DisplayPort 2.1 to support the resolution and refresh rate without compression. Even with a resolution bump, both displays come with the same 240Hz refresh rate. The 2023 model is a significant step up in resolution, which makes sense given its size. The previous version comes with a dual 1440p resolution, which comes out to 5,120 x 1,440. That shakes out to a resolution of 7,680 x 2,160. The 2023 Odyssey Neo G9 has a “dual UHD” resolution, which basically puts two 4K displays next to each other. The 2023 model clocks in at nearly 42 pounds with the stand, while the previous version is 32 pounds.Īnother big departure is resolution. The increase in size plays into weight, though. Despite the increase in size, the 2023 Odyssey Neo G9 has the same 1,000R curve as last year’s version. The 2023 model equates to two 32-inch displays. In practice, last year’s model is the equivalent of putting two 27-inch displays side by side. Both displays use the “super ultrawide” 32:9 aspect ratio, but last year’s model is only 49 inches diagonally.
For starters, the 2023 model is much larger at 57 inches. Īlthough the 2023 Odyssey Neo G9 carries the same name as last year’s model, the two displays couldn’t be more different. It’s understandable that the new model is more expensive, as we’ll dig into below, but the price gap could make the difference for a lot of buyers. You’ll save anywhere from $700 to $1,200 depending on when you buy the display.
