Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G9
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 and the Samsung Odyssey G9 are different types of monitors. The Neo G8 is a 4k display with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio, while the G9 is a super ultrawide monitor with a 32:9 aspect ratio, which is the equivalent of placing two standard monitors next to each other. The picture quality is much better on the Neo G8 because it has Mini LED backlighting which the G9 doesn't have, providing better control over its local dimming zones.
