Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC
59ppd · sharpReal HDR~$2,100
Two 4K panels wide at 240 Hz is more data than HDMI 2.1 can carry even with compression, so the UHBR13.5 DisplayPort here is not a spec-sheet flourish — no other monitor in this catalog outruns HDMI 2.1 that way.
Best for: The widest single-panel desktop made, given a card with a DisplayPort 2.1 output
- 3×HDMI 2.1· full speed at 8-bit
- DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR13.5· full speed(DSC)

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC: what it gives up
- Very few games handle 32:9 properly; many letterbox it and some stretch the HUD
- 28 pounds and nearly four feet wide — check the desk before ordering
- 250 nits full-field SDR spread over a very large semi-glossy panel is dim in daylight
- No KVM and no USB-C video input, despite being the obvious monitor for two machines
- The 1800R curve is gentle enough that the far edges are still noticeably further away than the centre
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC: what it gives up
- 42 pounds and 4.4 feet wide; many desks physically cannot take it
- Mini-LED blooming is visible around bright objects on dark backgrounds, which per-pixel OLED does not do
- VA response leaves dark-transition smearing that the 1 ms rating does not capture
- Driving 7680×2160 at 240 Hz needs a graphics card with a DisplayPort 2.1 output, which most installed cards are not
- No USB-C input at twenty-one hundred dollars, so a laptop still brings its own charger and cable
