I purchased this monitor through Micro Center, a local retailer as an OLED upgrade to my Samsung CRG9 49" ultra-wide. I had high hopes, but this monitor failed on nearly all accounts that would make it an "upgrade".Firstly, color saturation is through the roof by default and not easy to tweak to natural colors.The text clarity is horrible. Even after adjusting Clear Type in Windows it still looked like I was looking at type/text through a thin layer of Vaseline.You are FORCED to use the Smart TV features in order to access the picture-by-picture mode, and you CANNOT change the resolution or aspect ratio of the split-screen. Multiple inputs will ALWAYS be split 50/50 down the middle. This is a complete downgrade from the PBP mode on the CRG9 where you can ...

Multiple inputs will ALWAYS be split 50/50 down the middle. This is a complete downgrade from the PBP mode on the CRG9 where you can simply toggle PBP via the monitor settings and adjust the split and aspect ratio of BOTH inputs. Additionally, and there is no smart TV bloatware on the CRG9 either. It is also a downgrade from Samsung's regular smart TV's where the PBP screen sizes can be completely customized.To add, using the picture-by-picture mode will also overwrite any prior color saturation, brightness, or contrast tweaking you've done prior to the screen. Meaning while as you're using PBP, you're stuck with the default monitor color settings.To add insult to injury, the monitor stand is 100% static. No pitch/yaw. No height adjustment. It did not appear compatible with a VESA monitor arm mount.As someone who bought this monitor to use as a workstation, these flaws (especially the text clarity issues) made the monitor nearly unusable. After giving it a fair shake and using it for a day of work, I decided that these flaws are much too bad to overlook-- especially the text clarity issues.At the end of the day, this is a TV panel marketed as a computer monitor and it should ONLY be used for gaming or watching TV. It is NOT suitable for any kind of desktop workstation work.

The Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED is a powerhouse monitor that exceeds my expectations for both productivity and gaming. I have always used a two monitor setup due to the need to have multiple apps open at the same time (office and drawing programs). However this has always been a disappointing setup for gaming, as I either have to use only one of the smaller monitors, or deal with a line in the middle.The G9 OLED fixes this issue and gives me the space of two 27-inch monitors, for work, but one large and immersive display for gaming. The massive 49-inch curved screen delivers plenty of real estate for multitasking. I have no issues opening up large spreadsheets or other apps. The curved screen also makes it easier to not have to turn your head as much to see the far ...

The curved screen also makes it easier to not have to turn your head as much to see the far edges.The 240Hz refresh rate provides incredibly smooth gameplay and the minimal response time make it excellent for all types of games. The vibrant OLED panel enhances image quality and immersion with the dark inky blacks and rich colors, creating an immersive. Overall I’m extremely happy with this monitor and plan to use it for a long time. It provides me the perfect balance for both work and games.Lastly, the G9 includes the typical Samsung Smart Hub, which allows for streaming of your favorite TV and movies. I like to split the monitor with Multi-view and have one half dedicated to the game or document I’m working on and one half dedicated to the news streaming. You can also split the multi-view to show two different devices or if you want, you can out put from your computer to have it act just like two monitors.This thing has so many amazing features and is probably the best monitor on the market. So glad that I went with this monitor. I can’t imagine going back to a standard two monitor setup again.

I picked this monitor up over Black Friday when it went on sale to use on my new gaming PC primarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Forza Motorsports. The fact that it is an OLED panel and is self emissive means that every single pixel is its own dimming zone so you have over 7 million of them.All I will say is that the level of immersion is so much better vs a typical 16:9 display. You see so much more of your environment so as long as your game supports the wider 32:9 ratio, which is essentially 2 16:9 monitors "glued" together. It won't give you the amazing immersion of a triple monitor setup but you don't have to look at 2 monitor bezels in the middle or need an ultra expensive video card to drive all 3 screens either.One negative aspect is that the ...

It won't give you the amazing immersion of a triple monitor setup but you don't have to look at 2 monitor bezels in the middle or need an ultra expensive video card to drive all 3 screens either.One negative aspect is that the display does make you turn your head more to see objects or HUDs in games that are not in your peripheral vision which means you are going to have a harder time using this monitor for FPS type of games and have no option to relocate your HUDs.Before getting this display, I had to return a mini-LED monitor due to bad dimming zones especially in high contrast settings and knew that OLED is the only way to go.So far I have ZERO dead pixels out of the box so I guess I got lucky with the well documented Samsung panel lottery. But I am a Totaltech member so I am not worried about issues about deal pixels or burn in, which I have not had any issues with so far, for the first 2 years.The "smart" aspect of the monitor is a bit of a gimmick since you have easy access to streaming services if you are using the monitor with any PC. And if I want to relax, I will go watch TV on my 77" LG OLED TV instead.The high 240Hz refresh rate is a total game changer. I easily can tell the difference even with 120Hz where there is less image trailing compared to my older LG IPS 4K display which uses LCD technology. If you're a gamer, OLED is the only way to go at the moment.Using this monitor for productivity purposes has not been too bad. It's definitely not ideal as a LCD panel that has "square" subpixel layout but the current setup of the Samsung subpixels are an improvement over earlier generation "triangular" layout which made text very fuzzy and headache inducing. The bigger issue is whether screen burn in will occur with extended static display use. As I said earlier, I have no burn in so far as Samsung does refresh the pixels and does have other protective measures such as pixel shift that is almost unnoticeable.One of the other inherent issues with OLED is that you have limited screen brightness due to heat. So true HDR is really not as good as on a good Mini-LED panel. Keep that in mind. And unfortunately, Samsung did reduce the overall brightness of this panel in one of their recent firmware updates. I luckily knew about this and got a a panel that was delivered with an older firmeware and disabled automatic update to prevent the lost of max advertised brightness.In conclusion, I would say that the Samsung OLED G9 is an excellent choice if you are a gamer and only use the display for occasional productivity use. It's the perfect setup for someone who wants more immersion like for racing and flight sims. It's also great for open world games such as Red Dead Redemption. The technical specs of the display are impressive with excellent 240Hz refresh rate and the number of pixels at about 7.3 million is a hair under 4K which many recent cards will be able to drive with little compromise if you don't set graphics to Ultra. But keep in mind that Samsung does NOT have the best QC and so you need to check the display out carefully and maybe even get an extended warrranty just in case.

I've read multiple reviews and have seen a ton of videos of people that had issues or bricked screens, luckily I've had none of those issues when receiving it; although I've only had it for roughly a month now. To summarize my experience with this screen: It looks incredible and works pretty well, but, for a monitor at a price range that rivals a mid-range pc, it lacks a few features and feels kind of bloated.Pros- OLED panel and colors look incredible, my games and movies have never looked this crisp and the high refresh rate is noticeable and definitely impactful- The sleek form factor is pretty nice and the screen was easy enough to mount on my own because it isn't super heavy- The included stand is really high quality although I've opted to swap it out for ... MoreI've read multiple reviews and have seen a ton of videos of people that had issues or bricked screens, luckily I've had none of those issues when receiving it; although I've only had it for roughly a month now. To summarize my experience with this screen: It looks incredible and works pretty well, but, for a monitor at a price range that rivals a mid-range pc, it lacks a few features and feels kind of bloated.Pros- OLED panel and colors look incredible, my games and movies have never looked this crisp and the high refresh rate is noticeable and definitely impactful- The sleek form factor is pretty nice and the screen was easy enough to mount on my own because it isn't super heavy- The included stand is really high quality although I've opted to swap it out for a monitor arm to save up some desk space- With the right settings, text is pretty clear for me. I use this screen for gaming, productivity (coding), and for watching content and I've had no complaints with it- Blacks look very good and "inky" and peak brightness is not bad even for an OLED panel- So far no issues with burn in even whilst viewing a ton of static content for work- Controller is pretty niceCons- Embarrassing I/O support. For a screen this expensive and "new", it does not have DP 2.1 support, it only has one DP port, one HDMI port (albeit 2.1), and a mini HDMI port which is near unusable for a screen like this. It does offer some USBC ports for peripherals, but I'd much rather have more display ports. Unfortunately without adding more expensive gear, this screen only truly supports two devices at maximum capacity.- The included Samsung TV OS is more annoying than it is a premium feature; it feels slow and sluggish like bloatware. My experience with it so far is that it simply slows down my boot time.- My Samsung TV remote controller for whatever reason triggers both my TV and this display. Its very annoying to open Netflix on both my monitor and my actual TV when I'm trying to just watch TV because my monitor picks up my TV signal as it was built with TV software.- The screen gets hot through extended usage. Not blazing hot, but definitely noticeably hot- The curvature is too small to be fully immersive. It is impossible to get the full ultrawide experience of being able to have an expanded field of view where most things are visible straight on because the screen is too flat for it. I constantly have to turn left and right to see things on the sides of my screen.- The screen's native aspect ratio is super ultra wide (32:9) which simply isn't supported by most forms of media and games. You will almost never be able to get the full resolution and quality of games/content on fullscreen without blackbars- Not a unique problem with this particular screen but, if you stream content via discord or a different app, your viewers will have a bad experience if they don't have a similar resolution as you. This problem is exacerbated by HDR settings that you'd probably want to configure for the screen to get a nicer image as changing those settings will wash out the color on non-oled monitors for anyone viewing your screen since OLEDs tend to run darker than regular panels. This isn't a unique problem of this monitor so can't dock points for that, but well worth mentioning.- The included Samsung DP cable is not certified and is laughably short- If you want to play triple A games on ultramax with ray tracing and HDR enabled, your FPS will be really low with a panel this large and feature-full even with a RTX 4090. Although again, this is not a unique issue to this panel and Moreso with any panel that supports resolutions of 4K+.Overall, this panel is probably worth the price, but doesn't come without its flaws. I can see someone who doesnt care to screen share and doesn't necessarily care about playing games at maximum FPS that would love this screen. This is definitely not the best screen to pickup if your focus is strictly for gaming; there are objectively better options for that. It also probably isn't the best screen to pickup for just consuming content as, once again, its really expensive and many screens support dynamic HDR, have arguably more features than this one, and doesn't have a weird aspect ratio that just isn't supported natively. If, however, you're someone who wants a screen that is pretty good for gaming, top notch for productivity, and pretty good for consuming content; this is a very good and probably the best Samsung screen out there.
The Samsung 49” Odyssey G9 DQHD Gaming Monitor (LS49DG956SNXGO) is a beast of a monitor! At 49", this monitor is very large and very wide (super ultrawide to be exact), but a perfect overall size. Anything larger and you'll be working out your neck muscles. This monitor is great at just about anything you throw at it including gaming, content creation and consumption. In terms of specifications, this monitor is top tier. Firstly, this is an OLED panel meaning high color accuracy and near perfect contrast. Not only that, an OLED panel translates to an overall thin and light form factor (more on this later). I am personally a big fan of OLED and welcome this panel as my main monitor. Moving on... the 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03 milliseconds response time, keeps ... MoreThe Samsung 49” Odyssey G9 DQHD Gaming Monitor (LS49DG956SNXGO) is a beast of a monitor!

I am personally a big fan of OLED and welcome this panel as my main monitor. Moving on... the 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03 milliseconds response time, keeps everything smooth and accurate. Fast moving objects are not blurry and no "tearing" or visual artifacts. Build quality is great, as expected from Samsung, with a metal-like finish throughout the entire monitor. The stand is height-adjustable and allows angle tilting up and down, however, the monitor has a fixed angle position left to right - not a dealbreaker as monitor adjustments are typically set-it-and-forget-it. The screen itself measures 4.5mm at its thinnest which makes it very sleek looking, however, because of this thin design and smaller form factor, Samsung has relocated many of the monitor's power components to a giant brick which can be a bit unsightly. The good news is that it can still be hidden away, but is not as clean looking if unable to be hidden. This monitor is by far the best monitor I have ever used! The one thing to look out for in the future is possible burn-in (common with OLED panels). Only time will tell.
I paired the 49" Odyssey G9 DQHD Gaming Monitor with the Ergotron HX Wall Monitor Arm. Previously, I used a 49" Monoprice Darkmatter monitor with a VA panel. The difference between the OLED display on the Odyssey and my old Monoprice monitor is striking. It's hard to capture in photos, but the blacks on the OLED are truly deep, and the colors and HDR are much more vibrant. I couldn't even use HDR on my Monoprice monitor as it made content look worse.Swapping out the monitor was straightforward, and the VESA mounts aligned perfectly with the Ergotron wall mount. Due to its significant power draw, this monitor uses an external power brick, consuming 220 watts compared to my old monitor's 43 watts at 200 nits brightness.The monitor also includes smart TV features, ...

While I primarily use this as my PC monitor and don't often need these features, a picture-in-picture option in a small window would be useful. It would allow me to easily scroll through channels with the included remote while multitasking on my computer. Currently, you can split the screen to watch TV on one side and view your PC display on the other, but I would prefer a small window for smart TV content that doesn't affect the PC's refresh rate.I have Sony bookshelf speakers mounted on my wall, connected to an amplifier via an optical cable to my PC. The monitor can output sound via Bluetooth to my amplifier, allowing me to enjoy audio from various smart TV apps through my speakers—a feature I appreciate.When turning on the monitor, it takes a moment to start up, likely due to the smart TV features. It resembles powering on an old CRT TV with a short animation. Like other Samsung products, this monitor can connect with the SmartThings app. I have also integrated this app with my Bespoke Washer & Dryer heat pump combo, Bespoke robot vacuum, and third-party hardware like smart lights and a Nest thermostat.Working from home part of the week, this monitor allows me to multitask efficiently without needing multiple screens. Although HDR isn't perfect, it's better than on my previous Monoprice monitor and is usable. Gaming is beautiful and immersive thanks to the expansive screen real estate this monitor offers.
I've had this monitor for 4 months now and feel I have a decent idea of how it is overall. I use this alongside a 32" LG Ultragear so as not to leave the OLED on all the time. There is a slight flickering issue which usually resolves itself and limited display resolutions available outside the native. When using extended displays this monitor does NOT like fullscreen apps cutting out and requiring to unplug/replug display port cables often to get it to be recognized again. Over time it has also shifted its pixels so its a good ~10-20 pixels off the side of my screen cutting off the img, no option appears to be available to re-center the img on the OLED panel.One final note or personal gripe; as part of preventing burn-in the monitor has a repair mode that pops up ...

Over time it has also shifted its pixels so its a good ~10-20 pixels off the side of my screen cutting off the img, no option appears to be available to re-center the img on the OLED panel.One final note or personal gripe; as part of preventing burn-in the monitor has a repair mode that pops up in a solid box covering ~1/3 the middle of the screen every 4 hours or so, if this pops up at the wrong time it is very inconvenient. Accepting sees the monitor turn itself off for ~10 min before coming back on and becoming usable again. Declining risks screen burn-in. I could not find an option in the menus to manually do this for example, before a long raid session so opt to turn the monitor off for 10-15m before known long-use.But thats just the bad stuff. The picture on this is phenomenal and with the right applications, scaling widescreen video to it is great. Most games do not support the 32:9 resolution but when they do its the most immersive experience i've had gaming. The contrast eliminates the need for "game modes" such as FPS which maxes brightness to increase visibility, OLED shows everything clear no matter how light or dark the setting.Unless you have a specific use-case for this I suggest sticking with a normal 16:9 or ultrawide 21:9 OLED monitor. I could not see myself going back to an LED/LCD screen after experiencing OLED gaming but I dont think I would ever buy a 32:9 aspect ratio monitor again.
I have had every iteration of the monitor experience from the humble beginnings of CRT, the 15" flat panel, to dual then triple screens. Then the leap forward happened as manufactures started making wide monitors with the idea of replacing multiple panels which I held off on for the longest time feeling that individual monitors still maximized the benefit. Then I started with a 32" wide and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now I have arrived at the pinnacle of screen technology. First, the absolute massive size of this widescreen allows for three full size screens up at a time. I usually split this between work, web browsing and media consumption as exemplified in my photo. I can simultaneously multitask or more realistically, procrastinate without taking my ... MoreI have had every iteration of the monitor experience from the humble beginnings of CRT, the 15" flat panel, to dual then triple screens. Then the leap forward happened as manufactures started making wide monitors with the idea of replacing multiple panels which I held off on for the longest time feeling that individual monitors still maximized the benefit. Then I started with a 32" wide and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now I have arrived at the pinnacle of screen technology. First, the absolute massive size of this widescreen allows for three full size screens up at a time. I usually split this between work, web browsing and media consumption as exemplified in my photo. I can simultaneously multitask or more realistically, procrastinate without taking my eyes off any one aspect of the screen. The single screen allows you to change the dimensions of each window to maximize the experience, for example I could make the video screen take of 2/3 of the monitor while keeping my eye on emails or my work. As you can see, I have my monitor connected via HDMI to my laptop for a seamless desktop experience. The monitor detects the connection without problem but whats great is that I could also remotely connect and use samsung dex to connect my phone as well. Now what sets this monitor apart from other brands? Of course, the Samsung ecosystem. This monitor integrates into Samsung smart things. I get a notification on my monitor when my laundry is done, when my fridge door is ajar, where my smart tags are located. Talk about creating an ecosystem, Samsung knocked this out of the park. Now lets talk gaming, at 240hz, there is no appreciable lag at all. The curved screen makes you feel enveloped in the experience and the colors feel super vibrant. I love the included remote control, you have all the functions of a smart TV as well being able to stream all your favorite apps. The speaker is better than monitor quality but not as good as TV quality but paired with a blue-tooth speaker and it feels absolutely perfect. This has replaced the need to have a TV! The design is beautiful and is not an eyesore, it looks super modern and futuristic. This has been one of my favorite purchases and has pushed me further into the glorious future of technology.
terrible terrible not even a monitor, as this is really a smart TV category now! I had G9 LCD form 2019 version and i loved it, good for eyes good quality all works well , this version OLE G9 2023 release is junk 1st its doe snot keep settings all settings u make will get wiped on power off, 2nd its not monitor you would expect its a smart TV so guess what it has Office 360, netflix, YouTube disnay plus WOW really? PC a monitor if i want to doe spreadsheet or type word doc i boot my PC and work there, if i can but $1700 i can probably afford PC for it! why to destroy product with unnecessary features! And because those features come form TV line now u have remote which guess what has all features smart TV needs but does not even have Settings or Source button which ...

And because those features come form TV line now u have remote which guess what has all features smart TV needs but does not even have Settings or Source button which could be more appropriate for PC monitor, why sumsung wants to be so cheap.now image quolity: this is worst OLED matrix i had in my life, and it does not make sense, as i ahve othe OLED low res made my samsung and they are better, my guess as firmware optimized for TV they ignored other uses and messed up settings. If you plan to do graphics editing dont even look at this monitor unless you have nerves to tune custom color profiles and i mean tune tune with spectrometer! I have spectrometer (what a coincidence) but as settings are not retained this is useless. Hint: Red is way off. Red itnetncity is at least double of other colors, which is notmal for LED as red is usually brighter but emm does't samsung knows about it? or they just dont care?next refresh rate. 240Hz NICE! but ops thats signal one guess what lower ur brightens LEDs go into PWM and screen flikers, heavy load on eyes making u go nearly blind if try to read. So only option to use max brightness will ok untill u work at night.not enough problems? no boot up unless u unplug cable and plug it back, need to physically take DP out and plug it back on each PC reboot. Some forum users sudjets HDMI but its slower, im testing HDMI nowneed more problems, it has smart game mode, every time PC starts game mode turens on and not possible to rturn it off unless u use remote and go to not user friendly menu and turn it off. Or you look st game mode menu on boot then you look at game center menu then menu that reminds u that samsung did not have money to mae settings buttons to Home button on remote is actually a setting then once more thta screen to reinforec that ou got it and then you can use your PC and monitors. Total boot time with menu clicking 3 minutes...To make you happy ecen more there blue screen when you turn off pc so yea PC is okff but screen does not go off it will remind you that its a smat screen you can use ur remote to open all those cool apps. ....anfortunatly i missed my return window so despite the cost this jink monitor goes exactly where it belongs ... in dumpster, I will either dig out my 2019 version or go see what LG has to offer (or whatever other brand) no more faith in smasung... whats next fridge with netflix? i mean i have LG styler clothet with wifi but it does not kill main goal of that device ...
monitor is worst ever build by sumsung, actually its mischaracterized too as its really a smart TV which makes it terrible. it took me 3 month to figure out that supplied DP cable its junk it affected resolution blurines of pixes (even though reported resolution to Win11 was correct) perhaps some sort of RF noise caysed pix data to be blurry?? but its digital link... whatever switched to certified HDMI, lost frequency but picture fixed to acceptable level. BUT it only works in Game Mode... if i switch to any other modes picture back to terrible, actually lately when game mode is off resolution forced to low low low one no option to change (maybe reset monitor) If im in DP link, evey time i reboot PC or turn off monitor will not come online,,, i need to replug DP ...

Also in DP any monitor settings will wipe out on power loss. Monitor color calibration not ecen close to acceptable. delta on red is so off thta my spectrometer thought its device malfunction (i means spectrometer) but spectrometer is ok, i have certified xright monitor as reference and its also oled and colors are incredible, in this samsung however colors are like they manyally set approximately like green looks green,,, good enough lets put it in production. Red intencity super high, i can load custom ICC but again power loss and i go crazy caz brightnes and contrast not stored so all gone... oh low brightness u see pix flikering (use phone cameras u see. High brightens well it blast that light at u, ok as sunnu day and night too bright. Reading text on white documents impossible... ex PDF read one page u will have headache, ,,, I have same odisay form 2019 but LCD model (NOT Oled) and that one was exceptioal, no artifact no problems aside form bent glare.. this model is jutnk and i have not even go to end of the list.That smart TV formware should start with TV and no monitors! Why do i need Netflix on monitor that is connected to PC or YouTube? I can open app on Win (or whatever OS u run) and watch it there... but new firmware pushes integrated apps as its a main thing in a monitors, whole UI made for those apps, whole remote is centered around Netflix, Disney and Prime ... but wow they forgot to have Settings button on remote so yea eevery time you start OS you get annoying 2 screen reminder saying press and hold HOME button and thtas is your settings button. Not only thta.... it seasm as HDMI is foreced to a game mode, and if u in game mode and reboot start OS or wake up form sleep you will see Game Hub, or whatever they call it, blue menu recaping monitor settings thats on for 10 sec or so and really drives me nuts as i need to wait for that 10 sec then home button reminder 10 sec then andother home button reminder 10 sec so u get 30 sec of useless windows overlaying OS screen so i need to wait... if my OS set to sleep too often 5 min timeout, i get to see annoying windows 3-5 times per hour at best. No way to disable them!!!Finally, there more... do you ever need to get to BIOS? Well not on this monitors! As monitor boots it oven Linux / Unix its looses few sec on boot up, thats where you usually see BIOS screenaskeing for F1, F2 DEL F8 or other combinations, so if you need to get there you need to guess proper key as you will not see bios boot menu, thats adds extra layer of annoyance, also same for dual boot. By time monitor outputs picture u alredy at windows loging screen and my PC is mad slow caz im running 198 GB of ram so it takes like 1 min to boot up. This would be my last samsung product ever in my live. Monitors should be monitors and not TVs especially when its high end once.
