Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers small, discrete dimming zones. The result is incredible distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and reduced blooming.

“By bringing DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to their premium gaming monitor, Samsung is opening new doors for gamers,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “More bandwidth, high speeds and fast refresh rates provide new levels of performance and visual fidelity in games, and together the new Samsung displays and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics cards will deliver vivid and immersive gaming experiences yet.”

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desk clean from clutter, while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes offer multiple inputs at a single glance, and the monitor utilises Auto Source Switch+ to instantly connect to new devices without flipping through input sources. An ergonomic stand, Core Lighting+ and CoreSync also enable the monitor to fit in virtually any environment and mood match the vibe of respective games with ambient lighting.

With the launch of the Neo G9, Samsung’s Odyssey range offers a monitor for every gaming experience, with a size and price point for every member of the gaming community, all designed to give them an unfair advantage.
