Granite River Labs (GRL), a global leader in engineering test services and automated test solutions for digital connectivity and charging technologies and professional market access services, and Samsung Electronics, a global consumer electronics pioneer, announced that Samsung’s 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC) new status as a DisplayPort 2.1 (DP 2.1) UHBR (Ultra-high Bit Rate) certified product. Released by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in October 2022, the DP 2.1 standard supports unprecedented bandwidth to facilitate smooth gaming, efficient video playback, and greater than 8K resolution professional displays. Certification testing was performed at GRL’s DisplayPort Authorized Test Center in Taipei.
The Odyssey Neo G9 8K2K monitor operates at DisplayPort UHBR13.5 link rates and features a curved, large-format display. The combination of quantum mini LED technology and VESA’s DP 2.1 interface ensures superior imaging in any environment. GRL also performed UHBR certification testing on the DP 2.1 receiver scaler chipset NT68580 from Novatek Microelectronics Corp. used in the Odyssey Neo G9 to support lossless Display Stream Compression and enable refresh rates of up to 240Hz.
