Samsung's new 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 costs a pretty penny, but there's an instant discount to sweeten the deal for early adopters.

This falls into the category of I'd like to own it, but would never pay for it.

So, back when I was looking for ultra-wide, for a combination of work + gaming usability, I vaguely remember thinking about the 49-inch 3840x1080 monitors when they were teasing them, then went with 3840x1600, since it didn't see like those 32:9 monitors were going to be released by the time I needed them.

In hindsight, for my work needs, 3440x1440 would've probably been just fine (losing only about 11% of the horizontal resolution that the dual 1920x1080 monitors a the office gave me), and would've required less GPU grunt for gaming purposes.

But this? Yikes! That's a metric butt-ton of pixels, and seems like maybe too unwieldy of a size.

I can't imagine even a 4090 could drive this display at 240hz in AAA games.

Fun fact: This may be the first monitor I've heard of where DisplayPort 2.1 is required to drive the full refresh rate and resolution, even with Display Stream Compression. DP1.4a can do 4K 240Hz with DSC at a max (I think that's correct, at least), so presumably this monitor would 'only' run at 7680x2160 and 120Hz on Nvidia GPUs.

Don't hate me Samsung but I'll wait for the OLED version 😅 So this one is like dual 32" side by side right? I wonder if someday Samsung will make a 40" equivalent... like a 79 inch! That's my dream endgame, 40 inch is just the perfect size to display 4K at an arm length. I guess.. buy the OLED 57 and upgrade if someday it ever come out?

Could a 4080 run 60fps at that res with new games?

maybe but it might (depending on the game) run out of vram.

Probably CS:GO and Dota2! 😛

So maybe the oled 49 ultrawide might be a better bet.

This falls into the 'if I won the lottery' category. Then I rethink looking at it in front of me and I would forever fear the top middle pixels of the screen failing or tearing apart because of the pressure.

That thought would never leave my mind so even if I had the money I would never get this.

 

[PEnns]

Nice. But, this would require a desk about at least 30% wider (and a lot deeper) than this 47" curved monitor!

But hey, if you can afford this monitor.....

Need to see how bright it, doesn't sound like it should have Neo name.
I had a G9 but switched missing those extra vertical lines of resolution 4K has.
If they make one this size with 1500+nits I'll buy it.

 

[UnCertainty08]

First piece of computer hardware that's future proof!
Current hardware can't even run it !
