With a black level of 0.118 nits in that mode, that’s a contrast ratio of 6,079:1.Īs for its color performance, the Odyssey G9 performs quite well with its QLED technology allowing a very wide color gamut. Switching the panel to Full Bright mode cranks up peak brightness considerably, putting out 716 nits with a full field. (See more about how we test monitors.) The Odyssey G9 shows exceedingly good contrast for a monitor, displaying a peak brightness of 193 candelas per square meter (cd/m^2, or nits) and a black level of 0.052 nits in the fairly dim Custom mode the monitor is set to at default, for a contrast ratio of 3,742:1. We test monitor color and luminance with a Klein K-80 colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays’ Calman software. The Odyssey G9 has a one-year limited warranty, so Samsung can replace the monitor if that patch of light appears. This appears to be a defect of the edge-lit light source, and a replacement model that Samsung immediately sent didn’t exhibit this problem.
