Expert review of the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

The Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo is part of the new series of Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors. With a screen size of 49 inches, 5K resolution, and 240Hz refresh rate, this is the crème de la crème of gaming monitors. I used the monitor for a while for different games and tested other applications as well. In this review, you can read what I think.

  • The curved design creates a panoramic effect for an immersive gaming and movie experience.
  • Thanks to the Mini-LED local dimming, the entire screen remains clearly visible in every situation.
  • On the 49-inch screen, you have a clear overview during gaming and an advantage over your opponents.
  • You need a very powerful video card for 5K gaming, like an RTX 3090 or Radeon 6800 XT.
  • This 49-inch monitor takes up much space on your desk, so make sure your desk is large enough.

First impression of the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

Expert with the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

With a 49-inch screen size, this monitor is very impressive. The most noteworthy is the back of the monitor, which looks slightly sci-fi. The cover at the bottom covers the connectors and combines this with cable management. It's convenient to neatly store the cables with this large size. The curve in the screen is large enough to fit a mug under the screen. If this doesn't provide an immersive experience, I don't know what else will.

Incredible business use

Expert working in 4 windows on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

As a product editor, I work with many different windows and tabs open. On a 24-inch screen, I open a maximum of 2 windows next to each other. I double this on the 49-inch screen. The screen provides the same effect as 2 24-inch monitors next to each other, but without the bezel in the middle. Thanks to the curved screen, the distance between the image and my eyes is the same everywhere. I also have a clear overview of my work. I no longer have to switch between tabs or decide which one to open.

Better sight with open world games

Expert plays GTA V on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

The Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo is a gaming monitor, so I couldn't wait to use it for gaming. Because I'm a big fan of open world and sandbox games, I opened GTA V. Santos offers a varied gaming world, which is perfect for the super ultrawideaspect ratio. After adjusting the field of view, I really felt like I was part of the game. The curved screen contributes to the experience and really pulls you into the action. For example, it actually seems like you're in the cockpit of a helicopter and fly to the horizon.

Intensively smooth gameplay with competitive games

Expert plays Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

With a refresh rate of 240Hz, you can game with super fast images. Time to test this with a game of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. I'm not the best with shooters, but the 240Hz refresh rate does give me an advantage. The gameplay is incredibly smooth and is easy to adjust to. Unfortunately, the video card of my laptop isn't strong enough for a smooth 5K resolution. You need a really powerful video card for this, like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 or AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.

Overview while editing photos and videos

Expert working in Adobe Premiere on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

After all the gaming action, I like to highlight the graphic applications as well. Thanks to the 49-inch screen size, the monitor is large enough to open both Adobe Photoshop and InDesign next to each other. And you can edit ultrawide videos in Adobe Premiere just as easily. The local dimming on the screen improves black levels and makes it easier to work with more detail. I see exactly which pixel is darker than the other, and which one I have to adjust.

Conclusion

The Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo provides an impressive and immersive gaming experience. The 49-inch screen size curves around your field of vision, so you're in the middle of the action. The 5K resolution makes the monitor suitable for the most detailed adjustments during graphic design. With the same ease, you can open 4 tabs next to each other and you can multitask through the day. Keep in mind that you need a large and sturdy desk for the monitor.
