The 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9 costs a jarring $2,499.99 when it goes on pre-order this week.
I love small electronics.
The iPad mini still holds a special place in my heart.

But as I age, my failing eyes are crying for bigger and better displays.
But the larger screen size has made me greedy for even bigger displays.
Theres nothing petite about the Odyssey Neo G9.

Its massive display is curved for an immersive experience.
Just like the iMac, it has a Mini LED-backlit panel.
But the Neos display is much brighter and jumps to 2,000 nits of brightness.
Its got a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
The Quantum Mini LEDs make dark areas darker and bright regions brighter with 2,048 dimming zones.
The G9 is squarely aimed at gamers.
The monitor also comes with the CoreSync feature, allowing users to personalize their setup with the multiple-color mode.
On the other hand, like many people, I make my living staring at screens.
Anything that makes me more productive can help.
But, of course, the G9 has its drawbacks.
The massive size of the G9 is also a consideration.
The width of the display is enough to overwhelm almost any desk.
Its almost certainly too big for my tiny New York City apartment.
Of course, youll have to accept a lower refresh rate than the G9 at 144 Hz.
Its got an ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio that offers roughly the equivalent of two 27-inch 16:9 monitors.
Also under $1,000 is theSceptre curved49-inch display.
Just browsing giant monitors is making my iMac display feel small.
But I may have to wait for the G9 to go on sale.
