The best monitor I have ever used!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me first start off by saying this is my first OLED panel and ultra-wide monitor! It is truly the best viewing experience when it comes to browsing, web development, video editing, and especially gaming.
I love coming home and just watching movies on this monitor. It is hard to get the same experience anywhere else because of how much I spoiled myself with this monitor. I truly, after using it, never want to use another brand other than Samsung monitors. The OLED makes the colors stand out so well, and I still say after almost a year of using it still get blown away when looking at it.
The fact that the monitor looks that good and I can get 240 Hz out of it is WILD! To be able to have the competitive edge and quality is insane! I never could get the quality out of my games, movies, or any media for that matter until I got this monitor, and I truly will never go back to a 16:9 panel unless it was a Samsung monitor. It really helps me when I work from home, and it helps me with productivity and has helped me not need a second monitor. I am a content creator, and when streaming, it is amazing that I can have 5 things happening all at once on one monitor rather than having multiple and not feel like I need the extra peripherals.
Overall, I am just impressed with what I didn't know how much I would get the use out of the monitor and now it' better than any other monitor I have use previously and I prefer ultra-wide over normal 16:9 panels any day! Ultimately satisfied!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's get the only negative out of the way first: the tizen OS for this monitor leaves a LOT to be desired. Changing inputs is more difficult than it should be. The monitor switching to the chosen input feels very sluggish. If given the option, choose the non-smart model.
Ok, now the fun stuff: The picture is absolutely gorgeous! This looks as good as my LG OLED. The refresh rate is next tier! No screen tearing, due to gsync compatibility. Effectively zero input lag. It's absolutely bananas. There is so much screen real estate that I can work on three tasks simultaneously. Text is bold and clear, which was a very nice surprise. After almost a year of ownership, not a trace of burn in to be found. I gave this 4 stars, since 4.5 wasn't an option.
Tl/Dr - if you're on the fence, just buy it. You won't be disappointed. Although, be prepared to drop some money on an upgraded graphics card. My 4070 TI super wasn't quite cutting it, so I had to drop some mad money on a 1590 just to make sure I could put the monitor through its paces.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is absolutely a great monitor best of its kind. Clear picture I have also a 4k oled monitor and I still use this monitor more for single player games. The preset settings it offers are great also and make the colors extremely vivid even compared to my Alienware 4k monitor. Definitely recommend this monitor for single player enthusiasts. I can’t go back to any other monitor for single player games. If you do not have this monitor you are not gaming properly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the first version of the 49' when they first release it and love this oled one. My only down side is that this oled isn't as curved as my first one but I think it's because of the oled but that's ok, my other concern is the remote on this thing to watch movies and other things is kind of laggy or yea but other then that it works for gaming on pc
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung monitors are among the best for gaming PCs, just as it is the maker of the best Phone screens. I use the 49" G9 display on my god tier Gaming PC. The PC master race requires it. It has many features that gamers will find useful and the Monitor itself has amazing build quality and amazing aesthetics.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor helps multitasking easy with its huge screen size and the 1800R curvature is great for immersion in the racing games.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the monitor with the deep blacks and wide aspect ratio. It takes some time to get used to even though my previous setup was two 27" monitors. I love being able to have a dock with the 2 HDMIs for my work computer and the Display Port with my gaming PC. Only bad thing is the response time of the menus but that is only something you touch when switching inputs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this monitor for productivity for almost a year now. Incredible colours, no burn in, great for design and editing. Highly highly recommend.
