Samsung’s massive 57-inch, 8K ultrawide monitor is up for preorder

How many pixels can your gaming PC push directly at 240 frames per second? If the reply is “less than 16.5 million”, then you definitely in all probability aren’t out there for Samsung’s newest ultrawide monitor. The Odyssey Neo G95NC’s massive, 57-inch panel is bested solely by its 7680×2160 decision — principally two 4K shows, side-by-side — and its massive $2500 price ticket. The much-anticipated monitor is now up for preorder within the UK, with different markets set to observe quickly.

The latest model of the Neo G9 lacks the flashy OLED tech that’s making waves elsewhere (although Samsung does promote each a 49-inch OLED ultrawide and a 55-inch 16:9 OLED “gaming” TV). But it makes up for it by packing in just about each different bit of contemporary monitor tech, like a 1000-nit Mini-LED VA panel, 240Hz refresh charge, 1ms response time, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. The massive, 42-pound show additionally makes use of a dramatic 1000R curve, so the perimeters of the display screen might be tickling your ears whilst you play. (Not actually. Unless you’ve gotten very extensive ears.)

In phrases of I/O, the Odyssey Neo G9 makes use of a DisplayPort 2.1 port for its major connection, supplemented by two HDMI 2.1 ports The monitor additionally includes a “USB hub,” however the spec checklist doesn’t point out any USB-C or KVM performance. It is rocking commonplace VESA mount brackets (although you’ll want an awfully hefty monitor arm to maintain it up) and the compulsory RGB lighting on the rear of its shiny white casing. It’s additionally one of many solely shows in the marketplace with HDR10+ Gaming capabilities.

Precisely when the G95NC will hit the market isn’t completely clear, although Samsung is giving it a second official unveiling at Gamescom. But with preorders stay, I’d guess it’ll begin transport no later than October.
