At full-screen, the HDR brightness maxed out at 561 nits. Note, though, that we saw brightness in that range in tests utilizing only a portion of the screen (from about 10 percent to about 50 percent). That’s the only way to obtain the Odyssey G9’s rated peak brightness of 1,000 nits, a number we confirmed in our testing with Portrait Displays’ Calman software. This is well above what we saw with the Razer Raptor 27 (295 nits) and the Acer XFA240 (352 nits), but below the likes of the LG 38GL950G (544 nits) or the ViewSonic Elite XG270QC (524 nits).īrightness improves even further in HDR mode. But all of the default presets (the others are High Bright, FPS, RTS, RPG, AOS, and sRGB) were more than respectable, with the lowest-performing sRGB (102.6 percent of the sRGB color space and 72.7 percent of DCI-P3).Īverage brightness (as measured with the monitor brightness maxed and all dynamic adjustment settings disabled) was upwards of 400 nits in every mode, with the brightest unsurprisingly being High Bright, with 418.6. Samsung advertises 125 percent sRGB coverage for the Odyssey G9, something we only came close to in Cinema mode (with 123.9 percent). Most gaming monitors we’ve looked at do this well or better: The Razer Raptor 27 covers 162% of the sRGB spectrum, the ultrawide LG 38GL950G covers 148.9%, and the ViewSonic Elite XG270QC covers 139%, for example. Using a Klein K10-A colorimeter and Displa圜al calibration software, we measured the Odyssey G9’s delta-E (its variation from an established color norm) at a solid 0.26, and we determined that it covered 113.7 percent of the sRGB color gamut and 80.6 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut on its default settings (Custom mode). The screen fared well in our SDR color tests. This could be changing in 2023 the next generation of the Odyssey G9 Neo, which replaced the original G9, is tipped to be the world's first 8K ultrawide curved monitor.
#Samsung odyssey g9 vs chg90 1080p#
This is more than three times the size of a standard 1080p (1,920x1,080) display, but still smaller overall than a single 4K (3,840x2,160) screen, so you won’t need as beefy a graphics card to max out the details in your games (though, certainly, having the most powerful one you can find never hurts). The Odyssey G9’s unusual shape results in an unusual resolution: 5,120x1,440 (a 32:9 aspect ratio), or the equivalent of two side-by-side 2,560x1,440 monitors. Great brightness and respectable color reproduction.The top-level options include Game-based settings like the refresh rate, black equalizer, adaptive sync support, and so on Picture, for adjusting the brightness, contrast, color presets, and other features PIP/PBP OnScreen Display, for changing the menu’s language and the amount of time it stays up on the screen System, for adjusting the Infinity Core lighting, local dimming, volume, and dynamic contrast and Support, for diagnosing problems, updating the firmware, and resetting everything to the factory defaults. It’s easy to adjust those settings, or any others just move the monitor’s control stick to the right to move one level “down” and press the stick to make your selection. The button, which doubles as a navigational joystick, provides instant access to power, input, PIP and PBP (picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture) settings, in addition to the main menu itself.Īt the top of the Star Trek–modern menu are five circles that provide at-a-glance information about current key settings: Black Equalizer, Response Time, Refresh Rate, Adaptive-Sync, and Low Input Lag. This takes some getting used to these buttons are typically located on the back panel or in a corner (usually the lower-right one), though its placement closer to the center makes sense given the monitor’s width. You bring up the Odyssey G9’s menu using the joystick located under the monitor’s front edge, about 12 inches from the lower-right corner. Easy to adjust via a joystick under the right front edge.That’s not to say there’s no potential for color: The Infinity Core scheme (controllable from the on-screen menu-see the next section) lets you customize the backlight of the depression where the stand connects to the display so it can emit light in five different styles (Static, or solid Rainbow, switching fluidly between the colors Flash and Double Flash, doing exactly that once or twice in a row or Breathing, a slow increase and decrease in brightness) in any of 52 individual hues.
