WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.520
how do you even beat the Odyssey G9

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

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

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:28.800
Odyssey series for the G9 specifically and right here we've got the OLED this

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.960
is using the new Samsung OLED panel the biggest improvement over the mini LED is

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.980
that you're gonna have crazy Lightning Fast pixel response times it might not

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.980
get quite as bright but I'm telling you guys this thing is absolutely stunning

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:49.379
it gets crazy bright for being OLED thanks to Samsung's OLED technology and

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

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.680
it's just absolutely stunning because there's no white subpixel you're getting

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:03.239
a lot of color pop when you turn up the brightness you're not washing anything

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.260
out it's still 240 hertz like the previous model but now with OLED you're

00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:11.100
getting that insane they're measuring 0.1 millisecond pixel response time

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:17.040
really it's faster than that you guys honestly everything we've tested is like

00:01:13.100 --> 00:01:19.140
.01 millisecond if not faster it is wild

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

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

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:32.280
1440p panel at 32 by nine with a 49 inch

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:38.579
screen this thing is huge so you're getting uh 5120 by 1440p resolution some

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

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:45.240
this many pixels it's really hard to run

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

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.579
excited about that just stay tuned the panel construction as well as the stand

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

00:01:55.619 --> 00:02:02.700
OLED at least this thing is just razor

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.460
thin it's crazy how much panel you can

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

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.260
some specifics on these things they're not not coming out until they say the

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

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:19.980
specific here but we're getting uh

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.459
probably an external power brick so if that's a huge deal for some people I

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

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

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.400
be crazy about fortnite they really did pick a really good game for a solid

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

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.480
around it's just absolutely stunning I wish I

00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:46.260
had more information for you guys unfortunately it's CES and we don't have

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

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

00:02:52.440 --> 00:03:01.140
bunch of stuff and they're quoting you know a hundred plus percent coverage of

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.260
uh DC ip3 I think they said 90 BT 2020

00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:06.420
and in some of their models around 2000

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

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:15.900
going to actually release with and we can't measure it here obviously but

00:03:13.019 --> 00:03:21.659
considering my other cutie OLED monitor does a thousand nits this is going to do

00:03:18.659 --> 00:03:25.260
at least that if not more because this

00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:27.840
is Gen 2 uh Samsung OLED technology as

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

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:36.420
unfortunately we can't move these guys around too much but they didn't tell me

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

00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:45.659
not mounting it on something these are Vasa mountable it should be something

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.700
very similar to the previous G9 that

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

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:57.599
disadvantage with this guy over the other one is that for graphic designers

00:03:54.420 --> 00:04:00.780
uh or just PPI snobs you are only

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.200
getting about 109 PPI on this guy versus

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:05.760
something more like 139 140 on the mini

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

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

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

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

00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:27.540
for sponsoring this video okay so our sponsor dropped out for CES 2023 but

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:34.080
dbrand foot of the bill they're making me come out here on the streets and

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:37.979
offer people Tech tips for free and I

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.840
hate it you want a tech tip I'm okay do

00:04:37.979 --> 00:04:43.380
you know what detective I can give you a tactic unfortunately you don't want any

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:47.880
Tech tips I just want to offer a tech tip

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:53.900
no Tech tips do you want a tech tip

00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:53.900
you don't want to okay all right okay

00:04:55.380 --> 00:04:59.000
can I offer you a tech tip

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

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.880
it out of the search results whoever edits this is gonna have a great time

00:05:07.020 --> 00:05:13.259
watching this footage of me being anxious before I do this to learn more

00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:18.840
about who made me do this go to shortlineus.com

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:26.400
now as for mini LED we've got the

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:28.440
Odyssey Neo G9 57 inch that's the only

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:32.520
real way to differentiate between them if it's got Neo in the name it's

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

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

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:47.580
previous Neo G9 it's up to a whopping 57

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

00:05:49.919 --> 00:06:00.120
and immerse yourself it's also got 4K screens they're calling it duhd or dual

00:05:55.919 --> 00:06:03.960
UHD because you've got basically 7680 by

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:07.100
2160 so it's essentially one 4K panel a

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:09.780
second 4K panel running at a whopping

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:13.680
240 hertz with about a one millisecond response time it's crazy it's similar to

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

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:22.860
wild that's over a thousand for basically each 4K screen that you've got

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

00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:30.539
OLED that we just looked at but honestly for mini LED that's really good

00:06:28.979 --> 00:06:34.740
unfortunately like I said we can't really handle these too much so I can't

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

00:06:36.539 --> 00:06:43.560
an AMD card these have the new DisplayPort 2.1 ports that I haven't

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

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

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

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

00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.759
2.1 features like variable refresh rate as for the construction it's very

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:09.000
similar to the previous year's model except I think the stand is a little

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:15.180
longer now to account for the significantly larger screen otherwise

00:07:11.940 --> 00:07:17.039
it's very much a similar display like

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

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

00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:28.800
going to wear is they're taking that diode and then they're making it

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:33.120
significantly smaller hence the mini LED like it's basically self-explanatory

00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:36.599
however what that lets you do is it lets you pack more brightness and punch into

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.680
every part of the panel because there's basically way more of these tiny little

00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:43.860
lights all the way in here lighting everything up what that's also going to

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

00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:54.539
we can let this single tiny part of the screen get crazy bright without just

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

00:07:56.220 --> 00:08:02.460
cheaper monitors but less expensive ones and they say something like oh it's got

00:07:59.940 --> 00:08:06.840
HDR 600 but it's just an LED like IPS panel or whatever unfortunately it's

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

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

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:20.039
price gate to it and as soon as you start spending more money it gets you

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:24.180
stuff like mini LED and OLED which gives you way more dimming zones which lets

00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.419
you like really brighten certain parts of the screen and keep other parts of

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:32.399
them way dimmer and give you like an actually good high dynamic range

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

00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:41.700
do know how to drive standards so I'm hoping this goes kind of okay

00:08:39.479 --> 00:08:44.779
oh my God oh this is sick

00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:54.420
no it's not I'm actually pretty good

00:08:52.260 --> 00:09:00.180
driver I like to think I am it's absolutely crazy how good Ultra wide is

00:08:58.260 --> 00:09:04.500
let alone like super ultra wide it's something that's like basically two 4K

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

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:11.519
screens and you want to do a big extended image but then you've got that

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

00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:18.420
driving here one of the best parts about it though especially with this thousand

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

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:26.220
move my eyes and I can see the entire screen because it's surrounding my

00:09:24.060 --> 00:09:30.240
entire field of vision trying to match the curvature of the human eye it's

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:34.500
fantastic I don't think curved screens make sense on a 16x9 panel I think you

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.860
can see everything just fine even on bigger ones however as soon as you start

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

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

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:52.320
the Samsung Odyssey OLED is that it's

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:54.480
still only about 1800 R for quite a

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.080
large screen a 49 inch panel aside from the Neo Quantum processor in both of

00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.620
them that's really good for upscaling you've also got a bunch of Philips hue

00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:06.180
light control which is pretty cool so you actually don't even have to buy the

00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:09.060
Box it'll do it all in one app on top of

00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:13.620
that it's got this super cool world's first partial mirroring technology where

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

00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:22.019
different screen honestly I have no idea how they managed to improve on the

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:26.580
Odyssey Neo G9 which is already a fantastic display even for the high

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

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

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

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:44.640
it'll probably be something similar but then account for the significantly

00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:49.260
larger screen size on that guy and the Improvement to 4K it's probably going to

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

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

00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:03.240
price tag for that but it's really hard to explain without having you here in

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:07.200
this room with me just how good these displays look I know that you're

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:11.040
watching this on some what whatever monitor at home maybe it's really

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.980
high-end I don't know but even then you're getting whatever compression

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

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

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

00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:31.200
hard to explain why you might like not necessarily need one of these monitors

00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:36.180
but why you might want one when you grow up with a bunch of different panel

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:41.820
Technologies and you've seen the different pros and cons of each one this

00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:43.320
is like the end game at this point maybe

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

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

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:54.600
stuff but honestly who knows it's a

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

00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:02.760
the Cutie all that stuff at home and just work with it all the time because

00:12:01.260 --> 00:12:06.540
they're just absolutely stunning displays if you've enjoyed any of this

00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:11.760
content make sure to check out all of our other CES 2023 coverage the short
