Samsung Seems To be Working on Odyssey Neo curved gaming monitor with mini LED

Samsung does like its share of immersive monitors, and the Odyssey series surely falls in that category. It seems they're working on the next generation, NEO series. And these would be based on Mini LED for super contrast-rich gaming and no clouding.

Odyssey Neo would/could be the successor to the Odyssey G9 released last year. A mini led version of the G9 has also been announced. However, the Odyssey Neo surfaced in a trademark file ( .pdf ). The trademark request shows the naming to be a gaming monitor, not TV. 'Odyssey Neo' falls in into Class 9, ' LED displays; gaming monitors; computer monitors'.

Minileds are almost multiple dozens of times smaller than a regular LED light, which means that the backlight can illuminate much more accurately. That makes the contrast higher; illuminated areas of the screen are brighter, while dark areas are darker. It is not known when Samsung will launch the Odyssey Neo gaming monitor.

It's not like it's a stupidly high resolution, it's still less than 4k.

Obviously but nobody is going to drive this monitor at 240fps in AAA games while maxed out. And nobody is going to drive the high refresh 4k monitors either. Not with this generation of gpus.

I'm waiting for this to come out and buy it or get the G9 on a discounted price if the Neo is quite expensive, which it most likely will be (I'm guessing £1700+ on release). The G9 can be had for £1049 already which will most likely dip bellow £1000 by the time Neo comes out (July).

I want a super ultrawide for sim racing, for when I don't fancy VR.
