Every once in a while, a product comes along that redefines an entire category. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch Gaming Monitor is that product for gaming displays. From its dual UHD resolution to its groundbreaking 240Hz refresh rate and mesmerizing 1000R curvature, this monitor is a game-changer in every sense of the word. And now, with a jaw-dropping Black Friday deal that slashes the price from $2,499.99 to $1,399.99, there's never been a better time to grab one.

Justin Breckenridge had the pleasure of reviewing this monitor for our site, where it earned the coveted Editor's Choice Award thanks to its unparalleled performance and feature set. If you’re on the fence, let me take you through why this is the best gaming monitor I’ve ever experienced and why you should consider taking advantage of this deal.

The first thing you notice about the Odyssey Neo G9 is its sheer size. At 57 inches, it’s as wide as two UHD monitors placed side by side—without any bezels breaking the seamless view. This dual UHD (DUHD) resolution translates to an incredible 7,680 x 2,160 pixels, delivering visuals with breathtaking clarity. Whether you're exploring sprawling open-world games or diving into the fast-paced chaos of a shooter, the Neo G9 immerses you in ways that traditional displays simply can’t match.

The 1000R curvature wraps around your field of vision, making every scene feel all-encompassing. I found myself lost in the expansive vistas of Elden Ring, where the wide field of view let me anticipate enemy ambushes and admire the intricate landscapes. Even switching back to my old 32-inch monitor felt like stepping down from a luxury sports car into a compact sedan. It’s simply not the same.

What sets the Odyssey Neo G9 apart isn’t just its size or resolution but the way it performs. With a refresh rate of 240Hz and a 1ms response time, this monitor delivers silky-smooth visuals with zero ghosting or input lag. Playing fast-paced games like Overwatch 2 was an absolute thrill—every move felt immediate, and the clarity of the display gave me a competitive edge.

Thanks to its DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 inputs, the Neo G9 can push dual 4K resolution at 240Hz without compromise—provided you have a graphics card capable of keeping up. During his review, Justin paired the monitor with a high-end gaming rig featuring an AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.

Games like Cyberpunk 2077 showcased ray tracing effects in stunning detail, while the Quantum HDR ensured both neon highlights and shadowy alleyways popped with lifelike contrast.

Even if you’re not rocking the latest GPU, the monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to keep your gameplay stutter-free. And for those who like tweaking settings, the on-screen display menu offers a treasure trove of options to optimize your gaming experience.

While the Neo G9 is clearly designed for gamers, it’s also an incredible productivity tool. The massive screen real estate makes multitasking a breeze. Picture-by-picture mode lets you view two sources side by side—perfect for video editing, coding, or just keeping an eye on your email while gaming.

During my time with this gem, I loved using the monitor to split my workflow. On one side, I had a timeline for video editing, while on the other, I previewed my work. The seamless nature of the display (no distracting bezels) made everything feel more natural and intuitive. Even using older devices with the Neo G9 was a joy, thanks to its robust connectivity options.

The Odyssey Neo G9 is as much a statement piece as it is a functional display. The sleek white back panel, CoreSync RGB lighting, and sturdy V-shaped stand make it a centerpiece of any gaming setup. The ergonomics are equally impressive—tilt, swivel, and height adjustments let you position the monitor perfectly for extended gaming or work sessions.

At its original price of $2,499.99, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 was already a worthwhile investment for serious gamers and multitaskers. But at $1,399.99, it’s an absolute steal. For less than many high-end 4K monitors, you’re getting a display that not only future-proofs your setup but redefines what’s possible in gaming and productivity.

This Black Friday deal won’t last long, so if you’ve been eyeing an upgrade, now is the time. Trust me—this monitor isn’t just another piece of tech; it’s an experience. Once you’ve gamed on the Neo G9, you won’t want to go back to anything else.
