1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,520
how do you even beat the Odyssey G9

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:17,820
whether it's the Neo or the older model it's so tough they're amazing well guess

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:22,380
what at CES 2023 they've gotten uh one new model but two new models for the

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Odyssey series for the G9 specifically and right here we've got the OLED this

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:33,960
is using the new Samsung OLED panel the biggest improvement over the mini LED is

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,980
that you're gonna have crazy Lightning Fast pixel response times it might not

7
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,980
get quite as bright but I'm telling you guys this thing is absolutely stunning

8
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:49,379
it gets crazy bright for being OLED thanks to Samsung's OLED technology and

9
00:00:46,739 --> 00:00:54,239
I can tell you for a fact that it is colorful and it's color accurate and

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,680
it's just absolutely stunning because there's no white subpixel you're getting

11
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,239
a lot of color pop when you turn up the brightness you're not washing anything

12
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,260
out it's still 240 hertz like the previous model but now with OLED you're

13
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:11,100
getting that insane they're measuring 0.1 millisecond pixel response time

14
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:17,040
really it's faster than that you guys honestly everything we've tested is like

15
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:19,140
.01 millisecond if not faster it is wild

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,799
how crazy it is it's using Quantum dots so we've got top emission so that

17
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:29,640
there's no layer to punch through with the Odyssey G9 and OLED we're still on a

18
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,280
1440p panel at 32 by nine with a 49 inch

19
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:38,579
screen this thing is huge so you're getting uh 5120 by 1440p resolution some

20
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:43,380
people are gonna want 4K and I get it but honestly you guys when you've got

21
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:45,240
this many pixels it's really hard to run

22
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:49,079
games the mini LED that we're going to get to in a bit is 4K so if you're

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,579
excited about that just stay tuned the panel construction as well as the stand

24
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:58,799
and the case is all very similar to the G9 that you're used to except with the

25
00:01:55,619 --> 00:02:02,700
OLED at least this thing is just razor

26
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:05,460
thin it's crazy how much panel you can

27
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:08,940
fit into such a small space now because of that it's hard for them to give us

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,260
some specifics on these things they're not not coming out until they say the

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,000
first half of the year you know q1 Q2 maybe we're trying to not be too

30
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:19,980
specific here but we're getting uh

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,459
probably an external power brick so if that's a huge deal for some people I

32
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:27,780
mean you might just have to deal with it because I think it's worth it for this

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,620
thing all right let's check this out oh my God you know as much as I might not

34
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:35,400
be crazy about fortnite they really did pick a really good game for a solid

35
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:38,340
example of all of the color and that's that's just gonna pop at you as you run

36
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,480
around it's just absolutely stunning I wish I

37
00:02:41,099 --> 00:02:46,260
had more information for you guys unfortunately it's CES and we don't have

38
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:50,040
too much I don't know what the color gamut is going to be like I I don't know

39
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:54,540
what the top brightness is going to be like I went to Samsung display and saw a

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:03:01,140
bunch of stuff and they're quoting you know a hundred plus percent coverage of

41
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:04,260
uh DC ip3 I think they said 90 BT 2020

42
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:06,420
and in some of their models around 2000

43
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:10,560
nits we probably won't see 2000 it's on this display don't know what they're

44
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,900
going to actually release with and we can't measure it here obviously but

45
00:03:13,019 --> 00:03:21,659
considering my other cutie OLED monitor does a thousand nits this is going to do

46
00:03:18,659 --> 00:03:25,260
at least that if not more because this

47
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:27,840
is Gen 2 uh Samsung OLED technology as

48
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:31,620
for the stand it's very solid and very stable like we're not we can't

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:36,420
unfortunately we can't move these guys around too much but they didn't tell me

50
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,900
I couldn't jiggle the table and honestly you know it's gonna jiggle when you're

51
00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:45,659
not mounting it on something these are Vasa mountable it should be something

52
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:47,700
very similar to the previous G9 that

53
00:03:45,659 --> 00:03:52,200
uses an adapter ring to make sure it can fit onto a vase amount the only real

54
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:57,599
disadvantage with this guy over the other one is that for graphic designers

55
00:03:54,420 --> 00:04:00,780
uh or just PPI snobs you are only

56
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,200
getting about 109 PPI on this guy versus

57
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:05,760
something more like 139 140 on the mini

58
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:10,200
LED that we're going to talk about in a little bit but once again we can't look

59
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:14,580
at the back early we can't take it apart so I can't give you a solid answer right

60
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,180
now being guaranteed that we're going to cover this thing later on I'm going to

61
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:22,740
check out the mini LED in a second but before I do thanks to our sponsor dbrand

62
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:27,540
for sponsoring this video okay so our sponsor dropped out for CES 2023 but

63
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:34,080
dbrand foot of the bill they're making me come out here on the streets and

64
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:37,979
offer people Tech tips for free and I

65
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,840
hate it you want a tech tip I'm okay do

66
00:04:37,979 --> 00:04:43,380
you know what detective I can give you a tactic unfortunately you don't want any

67
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:47,880
Tech tips I just want to offer a tech tip

68
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:53,900
no Tech tips do you want a tech tip

69
00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:53,900
you don't want to okay all right okay

70
00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:59,000
can I offer you a tech tip

71
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:05,220
Santa's the right person if you put a minus sign in front of a word it'll take

72
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,880
it out of the search results whoever edits this is gonna have a great time

73
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:13,259
watching this footage of me being anxious before I do this to learn more

74
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:18,840
about who made me do this go to shortlineus.com

75
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:26,400
now as for mini LED we've got the

76
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:28,440
Odyssey Neo G9 57 inch that's the only

77
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,520
real way to differentiate between them if it's got Neo in the name it's

78
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,840
probably mini LED if it doesn't and it's got OLED in the name it's probably a

79
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:44,759
Samsung OLED panel as for this it's in it's very much just an upgrade from the

80
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:47,580
previous Neo G9 it's up to a whopping 57

81
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:52,860
inches on top of that it's 1 000 are curvature so you can really get in there

82
00:05:49,919 --> 00:06:00,120
and immerse yourself it's also got 4K screens they're calling it duhd or dual

83
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:03,960
UHD because you've got basically 7680 by

84
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:07,100
2160 so it's essentially one 4K panel a

85
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,780
second 4K panel running at a whopping

86
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:13,680
240 hertz with about a one millisecond response time it's crazy it's similar to

87
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:18,060
the previous one in that it's got a bit over 2 000 dimming zones which is pretty

88
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:22,860
wild that's over a thousand for basically each 4K screen that you've got

89
00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:26,819
here obviously yeah it's not the same as every pixel is a dimming Zone like the

90
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,539
OLED that we just looked at but honestly for mini LED that's really good

91
00:06:28,979 --> 00:06:34,740
unfortunately like I said we can't really handle these too much so I can't

92
00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:38,580
look at the back I O but one of the really cool things is if you just bought

93
00:06:36,539 --> 00:06:43,560
an AMD card these have the new DisplayPort 2.1 ports that I haven't

94
00:06:41,699 --> 00:06:48,600
seen anywhere I think it's a world first don't quote me on that but I haven't

95
00:06:46,259 --> 00:06:52,740
seen it anywhere else yet on top of that the i o isn't terrible we've got a

96
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:57,120
couple of HDMI ports now they can't say whether that's 2.0 or 2.1 exactly

97
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,199
because of the renaming and all that but what they can tell us is that it's got

98
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:05,759
2.1 features like variable refresh rate as for the construction it's very

99
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,000
similar to the previous year's model except I think the stand is a little

100
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:15,180
longer now to account for the significantly larger screen otherwise

101
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:17,039
it's very much a similar display like

102
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:21,060
it's really hard to improve on that thing it's such a beast of a monitor and

103
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:24,900
they're just making it better for many LED what they're doing in case you're

104
00:07:22,979 --> 00:07:28,800
going to wear is they're taking that diode and then they're making it

105
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:33,120
significantly smaller hence the mini LED like it's basically self-explanatory

106
00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:36,599
however what that lets you do is it lets you pack more brightness and punch into

107
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,680
every part of the panel because there's basically way more of these tiny little

108
00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:43,860
lights all the way in here lighting everything up what that's also going to

109
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:49,319
let you do is give you a full array local dimming so you're going to have these dimming zones where it's like oh

110
00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:54,539
we can let this single tiny part of the screen get crazy bright without just

111
00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:58,440
over blowing the rest of the image if a lot of you have I don't want to say

112
00:07:56,220 --> 00:08:02,460
cheaper monitors but less expensive ones and they say something like oh it's got

113
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:06,840
HDR 600 but it's just an LED like IPS panel or whatever unfortunately it's

114
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:11,099
it's not like don't look at those things with HDR on and think oh HDR sucks it's

115
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,479
not worth it that's not the case you guys it's just unfortunately it's got a

116
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:20,039
price gate to it and as soon as you start spending more money it gets you

117
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:24,180
stuff like mini LED and OLED which gives you way more dimming zones which lets

118
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:27,419
you like really brighten certain parts of the screen and keep other parts of

119
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:32,399
them way dimmer and give you like an actually good high dynamic range

120
00:08:29,699 --> 00:08:36,120
experience okay you guys I've never used any kind of racing Sim in my life but I

121
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:41,700
do know how to drive standards so I'm hoping this goes kind of okay

122
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:44,779
oh my God oh this is sick

123
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:54,420
no it's not I'm actually pretty good

124
00:08:52,260 --> 00:09:00,180
driver I like to think I am it's absolutely crazy how good Ultra wide is

125
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:04,500
let alone like super ultra wide it's something that's like basically two 4K

126
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:07,320
panels how many of you have that at home where you've got two side-by-side

127
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,519
screens and you want to do a big extended image but then you've got that

128
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,580
bar in the center I'll stop driving so I get don't get distracted no distracted

129
00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:18,420
driving here one of the best parts about it though especially with this thousand

130
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,140
dollar curvature is that you don't even need to turn your head like I can just

131
00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:26,220
move my eyes and I can see the entire screen because it's surrounding my

132
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:30,240
entire field of vision trying to match the curvature of the human eye it's

133
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:34,500
fantastic I don't think curved screens make sense on a 16x9 panel I think you

134
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,860
can see everything just fine even on bigger ones however as soon as you start

135
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:43,260
going Ultra wide or super ultra wide it's almost key I don't like Ultra wide

136
00:09:41,339 --> 00:09:49,320
panels that don't have any curve at all and it's actually my one problem with

137
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,320
the Samsung Odyssey OLED is that it's

138
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,480
still only about 1800 R for quite a

139
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,080
large screen a 49 inch panel aside from the Neo Quantum processor in both of

140
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:01,620
them that's really good for upscaling you've also got a bunch of Philips hue

141
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:06,180
light control which is pretty cool so you actually don't even have to buy the

142
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:09,060
Box it'll do it all in one app on top of

143
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:13,620
that it's got this super cool world's first partial mirroring technology where

144
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:18,420
you can take basically like a part of the mini map and then cast it to a

145
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:22,019
different screen honestly I have no idea how they managed to improve on the

146
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:26,580
Odyssey Neo G9 which is already a fantastic display even for the high

147
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:31,440
price tag that it has now speaking of that we don't have any sort of pricing

148
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:36,180
we don't again have like a final release date but if you're curious about any of

149
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,200
that kind of stuff check out the Neo G9 and what it originally went for at MSRP

150
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:44,640
it'll probably be something similar but then account for the significantly

151
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:49,260
larger screen size on that guy and the Improvement to 4K it's probably going to

152
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:54,959
be a bit more than that as for the OLED no idea it's going to be not inexpensive

153
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:59,040
it's a premium display both of them and you're going to be paying a premium

154
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:03,240
price tag for that but it's really hard to explain without having you here in

155
00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:07,200
this room with me just how good these displays look I know that you're

156
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,040
watching this on some what whatever monitor at home maybe it's really

157
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,980
high-end I don't know but even then you're getting whatever compression

158
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:16,920
YouTube is doing like it's just not going to be a true one-to-one comparison

159
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,839
like you're going to see with your own eyes when you're in person at the event

160
00:11:19,140 --> 00:11:27,120
or just when it's in your home these things look amazing you guys and it's

161
00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:31,200
hard to explain why you might like not necessarily need one of these monitors

162
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:36,180
but why you might want one when you grow up with a bunch of different panel

163
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:41,820
Technologies and you've seen the different pros and cons of each one this

164
00:11:38,579 --> 00:11:43,320
is like the end game at this point maybe

165
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:47,459
not quite there's you know we've got micro LED on the horizon we'll see that

166
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:52,680
in a few years maybe that can finally top OLED or the really high-end mini LED

167
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:54,600
stuff but honestly who knows it's a

168
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:59,880
speculators game at this point and for now I am super happy to both own some of

169
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:02,760
the Cutie all that stuff at home and just work with it all the time because

170
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:06,540
they're just absolutely stunning displays if you've enjoyed any of this

171
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,760
content make sure to check out all of our other CES 2023 coverage the short

172
00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:16,760

173
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:16,760
