Samsung’s next-generation curved gaming monitor, the Odyssey Neo G9 with Quantum Mini LED technology is now available for pre-order in Australia. At A$2,999 it doesn’t come cheap, but the Odyssey Neo G9 joins is now the flagship gaming display.
Personally I’ve been using Samsung’s Super Ultra-wide displays as my daily display for years now, replacing my previous dual-display setup. While I’m currently using the LC49RG90SSEXXY, the Odyssey Neo G9 takes that to a who other level.
The same 49″ wide at a 32:9 aspect ratio, the HDR1000 and QLED becomes HDR2000 and Quantum Matrix Technology. The Neo G9 also features a super fast 240Hz refresh rate along with G-Sync compatibility and just 2ms input lag.
The rear of the display also got a serious upgrade, moving past a standard black, to a very nice white finish, complimented by the blue Tony-Stark-looking LED ring around the VESA mount. For those who’s desks are positioned in a way that allows the back of the display to be seen, this is a serious upgrade.
The big feature on offer is really that picture quality. The Quantum Mini-LED display will deliver an amazing gaming experience. When you’re not playing, the DQHD; 5,120×1,440 resolution also provides great real estate for productivity.
I love the ability to use the display as a single expansive desktop, or to use Picture-by-picture (PBP) which allows you to achieve a dual-monitor setup, without the bezel between the displays.
“Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 with Quantum Mini-LED is a stunning addition to any gaming set-up, it delivers an unrivalled immersive experience.
As Australians continue to explore the world of gaming in record numbers, the Odyssey Neo G9 offers a competitive advantage thanks to the addition of Quantum Matrix Technology combined with super-fast response and refresh rates that will take you to the top of the leader board. This is the time to stop playing fair and up the ante with a curved gaming monitor.”

Experience sensational colour
The Odyssey Neo G9 utilises the same Mini-LED technology built into Samsung’s latest Neo QLED TV 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, the Quantum Mini LED has incredibly thin micro layers filled with many more LEDs.
Quantum Matrix Technology enables ultra-fine and precise control of those densely packed LEDs, guaranteeing high black level 12-bit image quality, making dark areas darker and bright areas brighter with 2,048 dimming zones, ensuring viewers enjoy content as it’s meant to be seen.
Quantum HDR2000 offers peak brightness of 2,000 nits, with certification received from VDE, alongside a static contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. In addition, Samsung’s cutting-edge picture quality technology provides deep black and white levels, for incredible contrast and immaculate detail.
