so today i want to talk about this samsung neo gNUMBER_TOKEN and what was my experience with it so far and if you look at the specs this monitor should be very unique and just absolutely amazing it is a large NUMBER_TOKEN inch monitor with a mini led backlight it has NUMBER_TOKEN by NUMBER_TOKENp resolution and a curve to support it it has NUMBER_TOKENhz refresh rate it offers an incredible hdr NUMBER_TOKEN experience and then all that for less money than you would have to spend on other mini led monitors on the market so i was personally really excited to finally get one and to check it out and i even considered using it as my main monitor instead of my current NUMBER_TOKEN inch lg ultrawide unfortunately this monitor ended up being far from impressive and i dare to say quite a disappointment to me uh there have been multiple issues with hardware uh issues with firmware there have been firmware updates that would fix one thing and then break another and just an overall mess of issues that should not be found on a product of this class and this is the third one i ended up testing so the first one came in late july or something like that and now it's end of november so i think it's finally time to draw that line and talk about some of the reasons why you should not spend over two thousand dollars on this monitor right now and maybe a couple of reasons on why you despite all of the problems might still want to so let's begin this video is brought to you by seasonic and their prime series power supplies these top quality power supplies are very efficient they're whisper quiet extremely reliable and my go-to choice for most of my test tricks and builds around here and to make the deal even sweeter seasonic wraps it all up in a cozy NUMBER_TOKEN year long warranty check them out using the links in the description below now first of all i completely understand why this monitor was like super hyped it is a very unique NUMBER_TOKEN-inch ultra wide with a resolution of two quad hd monitors which sounds great from both a gaming and a working perspective and with a NUMBER_TOKENhz refresh rate it should be faster than basically any other ultra wide on the market and now its predecessor the odyssey gNUMBER_TOKEN that came out last year was already offering all these specs above but this neo gNUMBER_TOKEN adds two more things to the list so the hdr NUMBER_TOKEN and the mini led backlight and you know there are just no other monitors like it i mean you could settle for a smaller slower ultrawide like the lg NUMBER_TOKENg and NUMBER_TOKEN that i bought for myself last year or you can consider an oled panel for example which is cheaper and it offers a pretty impressive hdr experience but really isn't suited for pc use because of the infamous burning now the closest competitor when it comes to hdr experience would be the asus rog swift pgNUMBER_TOKENuqx but that one costs NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN and it's a NUMBER_TOKEN-inch monitor which is hardly an alternative for a massive ultra wide like this one so again on paper it sounds beyond impressive but pure specs don't really make a monitor great the experience that comes with it does and that is exactly where it all went wrong here now i will be focusing entirely on a variety of issues that i've seen both hardware and boxed and ratings have already done excellent
