The latter stands out, as it makes the Odyssey Neo G9 one of the first monitors in the world to launch the latest version of the DisplayPort standard. There's a generous selection of them, consisting of a 3.5mm headphone jack, three HDMI 2.1 ports, a dual USB 3.0 hub, and the star of the show, a single DisplayPort 2.1 offering.
Whether or not these omissions are a big deal, is up to you, but anyone with the Odyssey Neo G9 on their shortlist should, at the very least, be planning on a quality dedicated sound solution to do it justice.Įxtras aside, it's time to dive into the ports.

Again, the majority of PC gamers wouldn't be caught dead using their monitor's built-in speakers, opting to use headphones or dedicated speakers instead. The same argument could be made for the lack of built-in speakers. But if you happen to frequent the various corners of the internet where PC gamers and monitor enthusiasts discuss things like "subpixel layouts" and "scanlines", you'll quickly discover that the majority of users spending this sort of money on a monitor want the purest experience possible, with no unnecessary bloatware. Now, one could confidently argue that the omission of all these extra features on one of the most expensive gaming monitors in the world is rather unfair. Simply clip in the stand, tighten four screws, slide in the v-shaped base, tighten a couple more screws, and it's done - as long as you've got someone to help you lift it up, you're good to go. Just get a mate round to help you with the heavy lifting.ĭespite the herculean effort it took to actually shift the stand and monitor's combined 19kg weight, the actual assembly of the Odyssey Neo G9 was a doddle. At least most people won’t have to worry about the latter - if you're the soon-to-be proud owner of a monitor of this calibre, it should serve you well for many years to come. By the time I was done, my back was hurting (which, in fairness, is dodgy at the best of times), and I was already dreading having to disassemble and pack it back up for collection at the end of the review period. The Odyssey Neo G9 is so large, in fact, that merely carrying it upstairs, assembling it, and placing it on my desk was a genuine ordeal. Because of its Mini LED nature, it’s also noticeably thicker and heavier than, say, the 49in Odyssey OLED G9 which, at 9kg, is half as heavy as its 57in titan-like relative. For some rough context, it's equivalent to having two 30in 4K monitors directly next to each other, with, of course, no pesky central bezel to ruin your immersion.
