Samsung Updating Odyssey G9 Premium Gaming Monitor - MiniLED Technology, First DisplayHDR 2000 Certification? | TechPowerUp
 
A listing has surfaced on Chinese website Taobao featuring what is being described as the 2021 update for the ultra-premium Samsung Odyssey G9 gaming monitor. It keeps the DNA of the Odyssey G9 - that means the 49" VA panel, 5120×1440 resolution and 1000R curvature remain. The devil, as always, is in the details; the new monitor is expected to feature a MiniLED backlight solution featuring 2048 dimming zones, which should enable a contrast ratio of 4,000:1 and an eventual, first-of-its-kind DisplayHDR 2000 certification by VESA. The current maximum under the standard stands at DisplayHDR 1400, so it's quite the jump for maximum HDR quality.
 
Other specs include a refresh rate as fast as 240 Hz with 1 ms response times, and support for NVIDIA's G-Sync Compatible badge as well as AMD's FreeSync Pro. 10-bit color depth and 95% of DCI-P3 color coverage are also part of the feature list. The original, 2020 G9 is available for an already expensive $1,799; however, its face-lifted 2021 cousin is now being listed at an egregious 29,999 RMB (around $4,599). It could be just a pre-order placeholder while the official announcement from Samsung isn't done.
 
If this monitor has a DisplayHDR of 2000 that would be awesome. Of course I'm sure the price won't be cheap.

    I am kind of wondering about the final price since the specs are pretty impressive.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
