Samsung has revealed details of its latest and greatest gaming monitors for the CES technology show in Las Vegas. Major highlights include the dual UHD or half 8K panels previewed at the AMD RX 7000 series GPU (open in new tab) launch, and a new 49-inch OLED monitor.

Confusingly known as the Samsung Neo G9, the new monitor clocks in at a massive 57 inches, just like the Samsung Neo G9 we reviewed back in late 2021 (opens in new tab), which itself replaced the Samsung Non-Neo G9. Size aside, its resolution stands out at 7,680 x 2,160 pixels.

This is enough for Samsung to claim this as the "world's first dual UHD gaming monitor," a welcome change from the misleading "8K" pitch AMD used when it showcased this display. While the horizontal pixel count is indeed 8K-class, the Neo G9's vertical pixel count is only half that of a true 8K panel due to its 32:9 aspect ratio.

As for pixel density, it comes in at 163 DPI, which is about the same as a 27-inch 4K panel. In other words, this beast is essentially two 27-inch 4K panels fused side-by-side.

It is also the first to feature DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity, allowing for 240 Hz refresh despite the huge pixel count; AMD's latest graphics cards, the RX 7900 XTX (open in new tab) and RX 7900 XT (open in new tab) both support DisplayPort 2.1.

As for panel technology, the latest Neo G9 carries over the LCD and mini-LED backlight configuration from the previous model.

Interestingly, Samsung mentions DisplayHDR 1000 certification and does not mention the QuantumHDR 2000 rating applied to the previous model.

And this latest Neo G9 uses the same extreme 1000R panel curve as the previous model. This should be quite a sight for a 57" panel. One thing is certain, though: it would take one heck of a GPU to drive all 16 million pixels at the proper refresh rate.

Next up is the Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC, a 49-inch dual QHD (5,120 x 1,440 pixels) form factor identical to the old Neo G9, but with an upgrade from LCD to OLED panel technology and a more 1800R curve, which is gentler.

In terms of specs, Samsung says the Odyssey OLED G9 is capable of 0.1ms response time and 240Hz refresh. However, there is no information on brightness, which is a major question mark for OLED gaming monitors. Nevertheless, as far as the Alienware 34 (open in new tab) OLED monitor, which uses Samsung's Quantum OLED panel technology, we are quite excited about this 49-inch beast.

The Odyssey OLED G9 also gets a built-in app platform that supports the usual streaming suspects including Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube. Perhaps even more intriguing is the Samsung Gaming Hub, an all-in-one gaming platform that offers cloud gaming from both Xbox and Nvidia GeForce Now. In other words, you can watch content and play games without having to connect the OLED G9 to a PC.

Unfortunately, there is no official pricing or availability information for either display. No doubt, they will not be cheap. However, it would be nice to know when they will be available.
