If you’ve been paying attention to the vagaries of the gaming monitor market, you’ll have seen that Samsung has stopped making a series of models that were sold out in some stores and no new stock was arriving. In fact, the company presented three new top-of-the-range models, among which the Samsung G85NB or also called Neo G8, the maximum exponent of the Odyssey line that will come with a 4K panel, 240 Hz and everything being curved. In addition, we have two other monitors such as the G75NB and the G40B, what new features do they bring?
Although the gaming monitor sector is going through a rather peculiar pause due to everything we are going through, before the pandemic it was one of the growing sectors along with laptops. For this reason, Samsung believes it is worth innovating in this very specific and expensive world, which is why it has presented its new Odyssey line, which you will surely like for its features.
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 (G85NB), the world’s fastest 4K monitor
As maximum exponent we have this new gaming monitor. A screen that has a size of 32 inches and is preceded by an inspiration from its creators with the mythical G9. Therefore, what we have in hand is a curved VA panel (1000R) at a resolution 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) which carries the brand’s new patented technology called Quantum Matrix, which allows the panel a higher refresh rate than the competition.
In fact, it’s the first 4K panel of this size to get less than 240 Hz with only 1 ms response time in GtG. The panel also has other key features such as technologies Quantum Mini LED, Quantum HDR 2000, FreeSync Premium Pro and CoreSync.
The first allows better control of the LED lighting system, the second increases the maximum brightness to such an impressive 2000 nits, while the third allows for a better gaming experience. The last is very interesting, because it is of a kind of Philips Ambilight so that it projects the same colors as seen on the screen behind the monitor, obtaining a more immersive experience.
Odyssey Neo G7 (G75NB)
The little brother of the G8, this G7, is almost a clone of the old one, since it copies the 32-inch format, the resolution 4Kthe kind of 1000R low VA curved panel and it only has one but: it reaches 165 Hz, which is just as crazy today. Moreover, he also does 1ms GTG.
The changes stop there, since you benefit from all the advantages and novelties of the G8, such as CoreSync, FreeSync Premium Pro or technology Mini Quantum LED. It’s basically a G8 where the panel didn’t pass all the relevant tests to get 240Hz stable and they set it to 165Hz
Odyssey G4 (G40B), a more conversational and extremely fast monitor
Finally, in this new range of Odyssey monitors, we have the G40B, a monitor with a futuristic design that will be available in two different sizes with the same characteristics, 25 inches and 27 inches. Both will have resolution FHD 1920x1080p with a refresh rate of 240Hz with a response time of 1ms GTG in a panel IPS What a surprise to be certified HDR10.
Moreover, it incorporates AMD FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC (We understand that it will be compatible, not a physical module as such). Finally the availability and prices of these three new members of the Odyssey family. Samsung assures that they will arrive worldwide throughout this month with dates that will vary depending on the specific region, instead it has not offered any prices, so these will already have to be discovered in stores and with taxes.
