Samsung Unveils Odyssey Neo G7 & G8 4K Mini-LED Gaming Monitors: Up To 240 Hz Freesync Premium Pro Support

https://wccftech.com/samsung-reveals-odyssey-neo-g7-g8-4k-mini-led-gaming-monitors-amd-freesync-premium-pro/

"1196 dimming zones locally, NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, 2,000 nits of brightness. While the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 does not have a release date or pricing, the Odyssey Neo G8 does have a launch date for June of this year and will sell with an MSRP of $1,500."

The prices are certainly much better than last year but still a tad too expensive. The biggest issue is that it's a curved screen. Ultrawide + Curve, you can deal with. 32 inch 16x9 + curve is pretty cringe.

DF Direct Weekly #62: Last of Us Remake PS5, Hitman 3 RT Is Heavy, Starfield Delayed!

According to DF, the reason why Hitman Ray Tracing is so demanding is cause it was supposed to showcase Ray Tracing features of Arc and supposedly, Arc has more advanced hardware Ray Tracing features than Ampere. But Intel is having the opposite problem that Turing had where Turing released with hardware but no Ray Tracing games where as Arc is releasing with games but no hardware.

Ngl really want a Neo G8. Yeah the curved 16:9 is meme-worthy and not great for productivity.. but this looks to be the only decent offering at this size and at a kind of reasonable price. Also disappointing that the Neo G7 doesn't support HDMI 2.1 and even downgraded to 165hz. About ARC, its pretty much doa seeing as there is no firm date. Crazy how they've got partners on board and they can't even get the product out lol. A bit embarrassing tbh.

Talking about monitors Asus annouces its first 500hz monitor.

Albiet it runs on a 1080P screen. Which also begs the question how many frames or hz is the limit to which our eyes can perceive considering the limitations of LCD motion handling and tech.

I am kind of interested in this monitor that just got announced:

MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED with 34″ Ultrawide Panel and 175Hz Refresh Rate

https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/msi-meg-342c-qd-oled-with-34-ultrawide-panel-and-175hz-refresh-rate

Unlike the Alienware QD-OLED, this one doesn't have the G-sync module so potentially, it could have the HDMI 2.1 that people are looking for. The rest of the specs match the Alienware afaik. The only urghh thing is that it's highly unlikely MSI will offer the Burn-In warranty that the Alienware does but still, if priced right, could be a good alternative.
