Together, the Odyssey OLED innovations and the continued advancements of the Odyssey Neo series \u2014 which saw the release of the world\u2019s first Dual UHD gaming monitor last year with the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 \u2014 are delivering features and performance that will help define the future of gaming.<\/p>\n [1]<\/a> The gray-to-gray (GTG) response time is how long it takes for a pixel to change from one shade of gray to another.<\/p>\n [2]<\/a> VESA mount refers to the industry\u2019s\u2019 most common family of standards for mounting displays, as defined by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).<\/p>\n [3]<\/a> Swivel and pivot supported in the G80SD and G60SD models.<\/p>\n [4]<\/a> Multi Control is compatible with Samsung monitors operated by Tizen OS released in 2024 or later, Galaxy Books released in 2021 or later, and Galaxy tablets and phones running One UI 5.1.1 or higher.<\/p>\n
