say Odyssey g9 apparently there's two monitors in here Samsung is getting real serious about gaming monitors now am I am gonna be able to get this out of here by myself I know I know the g9 is the one you guys all want to see but this one's really cool too it's g-sync compatible which means it also has support for free sync it's got a 1000r curvature so that's designed to match the curvature of the human eye apparently which is interesting it is 32 inches it runs at 240 Hertz with a rated one millisecond response time and all of that stuff you've seen before no the big deal here is the resolution so 240 Hertz yeah we've seen it before at 1920 by 1080 but this matters is it at 2560 by 1440 so at this kind of screen size and it's available in 27 or 32 inches and this is the 32 inch one it would not be pretty to be sitting monitor distance from a 1080p display 1440p well that's a different story wow that is really curved I am surprised at that oh this is nice screws are just pre-installed in there for you but obvious to you where this goes and here's how it goes oh yeah and I'm a little surprised to see an external power supply for such a large monitor but the thing is this is a visa display HDR 600 monitor which means that it is probably using some form of full array local dimming which means that the backlight for the display is much bulkier than what you would find in just a typical edge lit display that is a hefty power supply - Wow look at this thing Oh check this out that's a cool cable management doodad got a built-in headphone stand the secret sauce here is the DisplayPort 1.4 connection so while it does have an HDMI input right about there if you want that full 240 Hertz refresh rate at 1440p oh yeah it also has a built-in USB hub and an audio jack you need to use DisplayPort because that is a lot of bandwidth that's basically like running four times that resolution so that would be 5k at 60 Hertz of course in order to drive that kind of
