![]() Samsung includes both an HDMI 2.1 cable and a DisplayPort cable, though if you want to take full advantage of the 240Hz refresh rate you're going to have to use HDMI 2.1, as the refresh rate will be limited to 120Hz over DP. There are two USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-B cable (to enable the USB passthrough), two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort. Honestly, we'd recommend just mounting it on your wall – and when we spoke to Samsung about this display its representatives told us the same thing.Īs far as how many ports are there, though, you get a disappointingly standard array. However, the massive weight of the monitor gets in the way again, and you're going to have to make sure you get a stand that can handle it. Now, of course, you can use another stand with this monitor, as it has a standard VESA-compatible mount. Because anyone who is going to fork over the cash for a monitor of this caliber is probably going to take their desktop appearance pretty seriously – obviously not us, though. That makes cable management a little bit harder, which is definitely a shame with a monitor of this class. Likely because of how heavy this monitor is – and trust us it's very heavy, the stand doesn't really have any channels you can use to hide cables. Unfortunately, that's also where the biggest issue in this monitor's design arises. The cables go into a little compartment in the bottom of the display, and you get a huge plastic panel that you can slide into it to hide where all the cables go in. Also returning is the RGB circle around where the stand mounts in the back. The back of the monitor looks pretty much identical as last year, with an all-white colorway with some futuristic designs etched in. You can use these to save specific settings for up to three different games, which is useful if you're constantly switching between different types of games – like if you find yourself switching between a competitive FPS like Paladins to a rich and beautiful RPG like Cyberpunk 2077. Next to the little joystick thing, there are three recessed buttons. You can also flick it to the sides to quickly switch inputs or flick it up and down to quickly change some display settings like brightness and contrast. You can press in to open the on-screen menu, where you can change all the usual things you'd want to mess around with on a monitor. Just like the last monitor, there's a little joystick/button combo thing slightly right of center on the bottom of the display. But hey, at least the monitor has G-Sync. Plus, the only logos you'll find on the front of the display is the Nvidia G-Sync logo, which we would rather not be there. ![]() Distractions basically don't exist unless you really want them to, and when we're grinding in a desperate last bid to get our relic weapon before Endwalker drops in November, it's definitely a blessing to be able to focus so entirely on the game.īezels are definitely still visible, especially along the bottom, but because the screen is so big, it's not something you're going to notice on a day-to-day basis. When we're sitting in front of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 and playing games – mostly Final Fantasy XIV, let's be real – the game takes up nearly our entire field of view, making it extremely easy to lose ourselves in the moment. ![]() But, that gargantuan size definitely works in its favor when you're just looking for an immersive gaming experience. We're lucky enough to have a pretty large 61-inch desk, and even with that it takes up nearly the entire length of it, leaving just enough room for our PC on the side. ![]() And while that is pretty obvious from the fact that it's a 49-inch ultrawide monitor, it doesn't hit until you take it out of its box to set up on your desk. ![]()
