PC screens have never been bigger. We are not talking here about ultra-wide 34 and 49-inch monitors, but about PC screens whose display ratio is classic. With the miniaturization of OLED, 43-inch screens began to appear on desktops. Initially for gaming, these screens are also practical for working on large display areas in 4K definition.
As early as CES 2018, we had seen these giant screens under the name BFGD (Big Format Gaming Display). Here, however, we are talking about 43-inch screens, and not the 55 and 65 inches mentioned at the time. Moreover, Samsung Electronics also wanted its share of the cake, the Korean manufacturer unveiled a new 43-inch Odyssey product.
Mini LED instead of OLED
As QD-OLED cannot yet be present on 43-inch screens, there is only 34-inch in QHD like the Odyssey G8 (a 55-inch panel cut in half), Samsung turned to another technology. The Odyssey Neo G7 uses technology Quantum Mini LED, a Mini LED panel with Quantum Dots. Samsung is talking here about LEDs with size 1/40 smaller (in terms of height) than existing LEDs.

These small LEDs thus make it possible to obtain an advertised contrast of 1,000,000:1, small LEDs allow for finer local dimming zones. Additionally, the Samsung Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 is coming with la certification VESA Display HDR 600 et HDR10+. In 4K definition, it is AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatible, and supports a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. Also note that this is a flat panel, not a curved one.
