Question about Samsung Odyssey G9 - G95T

How are 240Hz and a resolution that has almost the same number of pixels as 4K achieved? According to this description, the monitor only supports DP1.4, which can transmit a maximum of 4K at 120Hz. So how can ~4K 240Hz be achieved? With the maximum colour setting (without subsampling), HDR, 10bit and the full resolution, how many Hz are still inside? Is this an either or decision or can everything actually be activated at once?

The bandwidth of current HDMI and DisplayPort standards is not sufficient to natively drive "5K" at 240 Hz. This will only be possible with the upcoming HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 standards (the latter in particular is a monster). For this monitor, Samsung uses the DSC 1.2a compression method, which in turn is included in the DisplayPort 1.4a standard. Your graphics card must therefore support this standard in order to achieve 240 Hz at "5K". VESA states that there is no loss in picture quality with DSC 1.2a.
