There have been numerous Ultra-Wide gaming displays manufactured by Samsung over the years but this latest one is the best yet. The AMD Radeon 7000 presentation indicated that the new 49" Odyssey display featured an “8k" resolution on the horizontal axis alone. Assuming the same 32: The present Odyssey Neo G9 model comes with an additional 3rd aspect ratio, with 7680×2160 resolution on each screen, which results in two 4K displays next to each other and the bottom half of a true 8K display. The most amazing thing is just how fast the screen can shoot those pixels.

The Samsung company states that the screens can support an updated refresh rate of up to 900Hz, according to PC Gamer. That is the highest output of any current Radeon RX 700XT or RX 700XTX display operating on version Now for the bad news: full 8K resolution, however, this is impossible to reach with that insanely fast speed. The chip is capable of working at 900 Hz at a standard 1440p resolution, 480 Hz for a 4K resolution (maybe 3840 x 1080 on an ultra-wide screen), and just 1 Yet, this is 16.6 megapixels at 165 fps which is excellent, outperforming any model currently on the shelf.

To reach such divine refresh rates at that resolution, you'll need a new Radeon card tower. Currently Nvidia only goes up to DisplayPort 1.4 on its most powerful cards. But other characteristics, like the quantum dot mini-LED screen and 100R curve rating as well as back RGB illumination are perfectly in line with today's desktops or laptops. As for more technical information, as well as price and release date, this is not yet known. However AMD says that such high-resolution with a high refresh rate design from Dell Inc., LG Electronics U La Corp (LGE), Acer Designs Development Management Ltd. (ADDML) or ASUS Computer International CO HAVE INC. will be available on the market.

Concerning how much you ought to save up, consider the current highest end model Odyssey G9 ultrawide at 5K horizontal resolution; it costs $2300. Some napkin math suggests it would retail for around $3000+. Currently, you may also wish to see our list of the best budget gaming monitors.
