When I reviewed the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, it was the largest monitor I’ve ever tested. I thought that device bordered on being obscenely huge but then the company metaphorically said “Hold my beer” and unleashed the 57-inch Samsung Odyssey Neo G9! Right now, it and the Acer Predator Z57 are some of the biggest gaming monitors out there.
I initially wanted to dismiss this monitor as a (literally) oversized gimmick. However, after spending the better part of two weeks testing the device and using it as my primary monitor at work, I recognize that it’s not like the comically gargantuan Samsung Odyssey Ark. Yes, the Odyssey Neo G9 is enormous, but it’s also one of the best gaming monitors you can buy — and not just for gaming.
