Samsung Electronics, a top tier gaming monitor company, recently announced the launch of its next-generation curved gaming monitor, the Odyssey Neo G9, enhanced with Quantum Mini LED technology. The Odyssey Neo G9 joins the Odyssey lineup, taking gaming to the next level with Quantum Matrix technology supported by Quantum Mini LED display and Quantum HDR 2000 for an immersive gaming experience.

With the previous launch of the Odyssey G9 in 2020, Samsung pushed the boundaries of premium gaming monitors with smooth and brilliant picture quality. Now with a Quantum Mini LED curved display delivering refined detail regardless of the game played, the Odyssey Neo G9 is catapulting the gaming monitor category forward. Featuring Quantum Matrix Technology combined with super-fast response and refresh rates, Odyssey Neo G9 delivers a superb dynamic picture and premium performance for all gamers.

“At Samsung, we are committed to demonstrating our leadership in the gaming market through new and immersive gaming experiences,” said Pat Bugos, VP/Head of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Canada. “With this year’s launch of the Odyssey Neo G9, we are excited to continue building our momentum with a state-of-the-art gaming monitor for Canadian consumers.”

The Odyssey Neo G9 utilizes the same Mini LED technology built into Samsung’s latest Neo QLED lineup. This next-generation display technology is enabled by a new light source, Quantum Mini LED. At 1/40 the height of a conventional LED[1], the Quantum Mini LED has incredibly thin micro layers filled with many more LEDs.

In addition, Quantum Matrix Technology, which harnesses enhanced 12-bit gradation for greater control of the light source – contains Quantum Mini LEDs that make dark areas darker and bright areas brighter with 2,048 dimming zones, ensuring viewers enjoy the content as it is meant to be seen. Quantum HDR 2000 offers a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, with certification received from VDE[2], together with a static contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. In addition, Samsung’s cutting-edge picture quality technology provides clear black and white levels for sharp contrast and immaculate detail.

Based on the high performance technology pioneered by the current Odyssey G9, the Odyssey Neo G9 features an ultra-wide 49-inch display with a 32:9 aspect ratio that offers Dual Quad High-Definition (DQHD; 5,120×1,440 resolution) with a rapid, 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time[3]. The futuristic and immersive 1000R curvature of the monitor was certified by TÜV Rheinland,[4] awarding it their Eye Comfort certificate.

The Odyssey Neo G9 provides Adaptive Sync on DP1.4 and HDMI2.1 VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) through HDMI 2.1 with NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, delivering dynamic and seamless action scene-by-scene for a groundbreaking gameplay experience.

The display seamlessly fits into any gaming setup or environment, with a glossy white exterior and futuristic rear infinity core lighting system, which includes 52 colours and five lighting effect options. The monitor also comes with the CoreSync feature, allowing users to personalize their setup with the multiple colour mode for world-blending immersion.

Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 with Quantum Mini LED is available for pre-order now ahead of its official Canadian launch later this year.
