Samsung Electronics is strengthening its monitor line-up with new offerings in the Odyssey, ViewFinity and Smart Monitor range at CES 2023, including the Odyssey Neo G9, the world’s first single monitor with dual ultra-HD resolution.
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming Monitor (G95NC) delivers an unparalleled field of view with 7,680×2,160 resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio in one screen for the first time. Its 1000R curved 57-inch screen uses Quantum Mini LED technology with VESA Display HDR 1000 specification. The matte display reduces light reflection on the screen.
The G95NC also boasts the world’s first DisplayPort 2.1 support, which transfers data approximately twice as fast as the previously used DisplayPort 1.4. In addition, the new DP2.1 allows lossless industry-standard Display Stream Compression (DSC) to transmit information without distortion. The Odyssey Neo G9 also supports a refresh rate of 240Hz.
The Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) is the latest addition to the Odyssey line-up, featuring a dual quad-HD 49-inch 1800R curved display with a 32:9 ratio. Its Quantum Dot technology OLED lighting is controlled pixel-by-pixel, allowing a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio while delivering true RGB and true black without colour filters.
For smooth gameplay, the Odyssey OLED G9 features a 0.1ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate. It uses apps from partners like Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube through Smart Hub for users to enjoy content using an internet connection without the need for a PC.
Samsung Gaming Hub, an all-in-one game streaming platform, allows gamers to discover and play games in the cloud from partners such as Xbox and NVIDIA GeForce Now without needing a console or to download games.
The ViewFinity S9 (S90PC) is Samsung’s newest addition to its monitor line-up. It features a 5K 27-inch screen for the first time and is optimised for creative professionals such as graphic designers and photographers. Its 5,120 x 2,880 resolution, combined with its wide colour gamut of 99% DCI-P3, provides crisp details.
The monitor’s built-in Colour Calibration Engine ensures precise screen color and brightness, allowing users to adjust white balance, Gamma and RGB color balance for perfect accuracy with their smartphones through the Samsung Smart Calibration application.
Users can connect cameras and other devices to the monitor through USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 connections to easily transfer files from storage devices to their PC. The ViewFinity S9 Series comes with a 4K SlimFit camera and supports native video conferencing through apps such as Google Meet that are included in the Samsung Smart Hub.
The Smart Monitor M8 (M80C) now comes in a new 27-inch size in addition to the existing 32-inch size, both with 4K resolution. The height-adjustable stand with tilt support allows the screen to pivot 90 degrees.
The Smart Monitor M8 can connect, control and manage hundreds of compatible connected devices through the built-in SmartThings Hub, including lights, cameras, doorbells, locks, thermostats and more.
The Smart Monitor M8 can also be used to get instant access to Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube and other services through Smart Hub. They can also easily access Samsung Gaming Hub, the all-in-one game streaming platform.
The integrated SlimFit camera in the Smart Monitor M8 has been upgraded with 2K resolution and works with video conferencing apps such as Google Meet.
In addition, the Smart Monitor M8 is protected by Samsung Knox Vault, which encrypts personal data and keeps stored files and information isolated from the device’s main operating system.
