The 49-inch monitor is also equipped with Quantum Matrix technology that offers 12-bit gradation for greater control of the light source, making dark areas darker and bright areas brighter with 2,048 dimming zones.
Samsung said its Quantum HDR 2000 solution provides a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, alongside a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
The Odyssey Neo G9, featuring 100R curvature, also offers dual quad high-definition of 5,120×1,440 resolution with 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, for immersive gaming experience, according to Samsung.
Samsung said the monitor also comes with a rear infinity core lighting system, which includes 52 colorus and five lighting effect options, for a better gaming environment.
The monitor also received Eye Comfort certificate by TUV Rheinland, a leading international certification organisation, to ensure the eye safety of users.
