Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57 Connectivity

thecoachk — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 23:50:27 GMT

I just bought Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57 LS57CG952NNXZA and my laptop is Hp Spectra x360 15-EB0053DX (kinda on the old side).

What are the options to get the best resolution out of the monitor? I’m not the best with the connectivity part so all opinions and help will be much much appreciated.

I used the HDMI included, the screen keeps disconnecting then go to sleep mode.

The resolution seems max 3840x2160 on laptop (only middle section of the monitor works the 2 other sections are black). I know the laptop has 2 graphic cards.

How can I use the split feature and be able to have 2 screens working side by side or even make the whole monitor works at good resolution?

Do I need to buy a docking station? I read somewhere that you need to connect both HDMI and DP cables to get the Picture in Picture mode.

Thanks!

Fine print from Samsung:

*For the world's first full DUHD and 240Hz ultra high performance support, the graphics card being used must support DP 2.1 (UHBR 13.5 and above) or HDMI 2.1 (FRL 12Gbps). Actual specifications and support may vary by graphics card. Please refer to your graphics card specifications for more details. The actual response time may vary by content and monitor settings.

Does your laptop meet these requirements?

The laptop specs show a DP version 1.2 while the monitor requires DP 2.1 to function properly.

New laptop time.
