57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K Monitor for $1599.99
Bonus $100 Samsung credit and 27" Samsung Odyssey G3 gaming monitor
The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is the first Dual 4K UHD monitor on the market with an incredible 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. The Samsung "Neo G9" monitors are equipped with a Mini LED backlight combined with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. Like its namesake suggests, mini-LED panels have smaller LEDs than traditional LED LCD monitors, so you can squeeze in more lighting zones. Mini-LED monitors are also much brighter than OLED monitors. Not only does that further improve contrast ratio, it's also useful at overpowering glare and reflections.
The Samsung Neo G9 isn't a one trick pony, and all the other specs live up to what we'd expect from a top-end gaming monitor. The display boasts an aggressive 1000R curve that practically hugs you as you play games. It offers a 1ms response time and up to 240Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort 2.1. It is HDR1000 certified, which means a peak brightness rating of up to 1000nits. Plus, it offers FreeSync Premium Pro support (although not explicity stated, this monitor has been tested to be G-SYNC compatible as well).
Obviously the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn't a monitor for everyone. You need a rather generous gaming budget if you want to add this to your rig. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, not all games support this resolution and aspect ratio. Some games will have letterboxing to compensate. Also, gaming at dual 4K UHD resolution is extremely GPU intensive. Make sure you have a good graphics card that can handle the load. We'd recommend something no less powerful than an RTX 4070 Ti. The cost keeps many us gamers at bay, but certainly the barrier to entry has been significantly lowered with this deal today.
