Review: Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 49″ monitor on a sim rig

[Tom]

For anyone embarking on a budget sim rig journey considering using a cheap / spare TV instead of computer monitor, this is what I gathered from my recent sim racing experience, comparing my existing 55″ 1080 TV setup to a computer monitor.












While the expansive TV screen offered immersive visuals, the computer monitor brought forth a sharper focus on details and a faster response time.

the pc is average i suppose, it's an amd ryzen 5 3600, rtx2060 6gb, 16gbram and ssd, for 1080p it's just right, not so good for 4k
technically even a laptop can run the games, just with less detail

Doubt it'll require a 10k gpu for a non triple screen setup
