At the Gamescom 2023 event, Samsung unveiled the latest additions to its Odyssey monitor lineup: the 57″ Odyssey Neo G9 and the 55″ 2023 Odyssey Ark. The Odyssey Neo G9 57” (G95NC) is a new gaming monitor that is the first to feature a Dual Ultra-High-Definition (DUHD) screen. It has won the Best of Innovation Award at CES 2023. The 57″ screen has a 1000R curvature, similar to two 32” UHD monitors side by side.
The screen uses Quantum Matrix Technology
and Quantum Mini LED lighting for superior contrast, accurate colors, and
reduced blooming in dark areas. It combines these technologies with VESA
Display HDR 1000 to deliver vivid HDR content with a peak brightness of 1,000
nits. The monitor offers a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms GTG response time for
smooth gameplay. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology further enhances stability
and picture quality.
For connectivity, it offers VESA-certified
DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and a USB hub. This allows for DUHD resolution at
refresh rates up to 240Hz with less cable clutter. The monitor also serves as a
multitasking solution with its wide screen and advanced features. It can
replace multiple monitors and offers Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture
modes for efficient multitasking. The monitor’s Auto Source Switch+ simplifies
connecting new devices, while its ergonomic design, Core Lighting+, and
CoreSync enhance the user experience.
Samsung has upgraded the Odyssey Ark 55”
gaming monitor, the world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen. Building
on the success of its predecessor, the new Odyssey Ark (G97NC). The monitor
offers a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms GTG response time, providing gamers with a
competitive edge and smooth gameplay. The Cockpit Mode introduces a vertical
orientation, offering fresh perspectives for exploration.
The 2023 Odyssey Ark introduces the
Samsung Multi View feature, allowing users to view up to 4 inputs
simultaneously. It improves split-screen capabilities, providing convenience
and command in one screen, even with external devices. The new DP input also
supports 4K UHD streams for high-quality entertainment. The Odyssey Ark now
serves as a centralized hub for various computer needs. The Keyboard, Video,
Mouse (KVM) switch feature enables seamless multitasking across multiple
devices using a single mouse and keyboard setup.
