Knicks’ Mike Brown already vouching for Jalen Brunson’s MVP case: ‘Not enough chatter’































Toulousains et Racingmen ont réagi au retour au jeu d'Antoine Dupont, entré à la 50e minute lors de la victoire face aux Franciliens samedi soir (48-24), à l'occasion de la 11e journée du Top 14, près de neuf mois après sa blessure au genou gauche. 







The biggest and baddest gaming monitor you could possibly get (short of getting a TV) has finally dropped to a price low enough to recommend for Black Friday. eBay via Budyig is offering the massive 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD gaming monitor for $1,279.99 after 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". This monitor retails for $2,500 and most other retailers are currently selling it for about $1,500. Buydig is an authorized Samsung reseller.
The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is one of few 57" dual 4K UHD monitors on the market, boasting an eye-watering 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. Despite the display being so large, it has an above-average 140ppi pixel density, which is amazing considering the fact that in general the bigger the display, the lower the ppi. To put that into perspective, it's as sharp as a 32" 4K monitor. Wow.
The Odyssey Neo G9 is equipped with a Mini LED backlight paired with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. Like its namesake suggests, mini-LED panels have smaller LEDs than traditional LED LCD monitors, so you can squeeze in more lighting zones. Mini-LED monitors are also much brighter than OLED monitors, which is very important because larger monitors are generally dimmer than smaller ones to start. Local dimming combined with higher brightness improves contrast ratio and HDR and is also useful in overpowering glare and reflections.
The Samsung Neo G9 isn't a one-trick pony, and all the other specs live up to what we'd expect from a top-end gaming monitor. The display boasts an aggressive 1000R curve that practically hugs you as you play games. Curved panels are useless with small monitors but extremely helpful with super-wide ones. It also features a 1ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate. It is HDR1000 certified, which means that it can maintain peak brightness up to 1,000nits. It's FreeSync Premium Pro certified , which means it works with G-Sync in compatibility mode as well.
Obviously, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn't a monitor for everyone. You need a rather generous gaming budget. Also, not all games support this resolution and aspect ratio. Some games will have letterboxing to compensate. Finally, gaming at dual 4K UHD resolution is extremely GPU intensive. Make sure you have a good graphics card that can handle the load. We'd recommend something no less powerful than a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 XT.
