Samsung has just rolled the dice on size with the launch of its Odyssey G75F, a 37-inch 4K monitor that breaks new ground in the gaming and tech space. With its VA panel and notable specs, this launch is giving tech enthusiasts something to talk about.
Zooming In
Tech Specs and Features
The Odyssey G75F is not your everyday monitor, standing tall with a 37-inch panel boasting a 4K (3840×2160) resolution. According to Samsung, this is the world’s first 37-inch 4K monitor. It’s a size that might hit the sweet spot for those looking for something larger than the usual 32 inches but not quite ready to jump to 42 inches or above.
This monitor isn’t riding the OLED wave. Instead, it comes with a VA panel that offers a 165Hz refresh rate, a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 1ms response time. It also supports DisplayHDR 600 and HDR10+ Gaming. However, with a typical brightness of 350 nits, it might leave HDR enthusiasts wanting more.
Curves and Colors
If you’re a fan of curves, the Odyssey G75F has got you covered with its 1,000R curvature — it’s pretty aggressive and not everyone’s cup of tea. On the color front, it provides 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 coverage, and it can display 1.07 billion colors, making it quite adept for color accuracy and vibrant displays.
Additional Features
Additional perks include AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, Auto Source Switch+ which automatically changes input when a new signal is detected, and Samsung’s CoreSync & CoreLighting+ RGB for those who like a bit of flair in their gear.
Price and Market Position
The price tag sits at around $1,000, which places it in a competitive bracket. Those looking for larger screens at lower prices might be drawn to older OLED TVs, some of which fall below this price point. However, the G75F stands out with its specific blend of features targeted at gamers and tech aficionados looking for a balance between performance and unique specs.
Samsung continues to expand its Odyssey range with a blend of diverse features aimed at satisfying the varied demands of today’s users. Whether this 37-inch niche will grow is up for debate, but it certainly lights up options for those in search of something distinct.
