A beast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is a beast! Does everything I would want and more. The 240hz refresh is insane and I can really tell the difference from my old setup. The blacks are great and color seems to pop right of the screen and it only gets better when you turn on HDR. With the ultra wide resolution and 1800r curve you are immersed in whatever game you are playing. The monitor does have a power brick but it keeps everything clean on the desk. The stand is great with a huge level of adjustment both up and down but with tilt as well. Overall just a great upgrade from my dual 27” monitor set up more then enough room for gaming and for any more productive activities. I’m never going to go back to a “normal” monitor at this point.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Best New Monitor for my Space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is awesome! The first thing I did was connect my computer to it and see how it felt editing on the massive screen. I really love the clarity of the images on this monitor. I love the fact that the Core lighting has a sync option that allows the light to match whatever you're watching on the screen. The Airplay feature was an unexpected surprise. I connected my phone immediately and was able to still watch my favorite shows on the screen. The workspace hub and gaming hub are really cool. I like that I'm able to connect my controller wirelessly and play games with the apps on the monitor. I can't wait to start streaming on this monitor. I know it's going to make the experience so much more enjoyable.

Sooo wide!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm coming to this monitor from what I thought was a "big" monitor (at 32in). This one is so much bigger, I had to rearrange my desk to fit it. I am still getting used to the different form factor. This monitor is long but has a "standard" height, whereas my old monitor is taller, its all about rearranging windows to better fit the new space.
The colors are vibrant and the blacks are deep, this is a great OLED panel. I have played Diablo IV, City Skylines 2, Starfield, and Last Epoch on this monitor and it really enhances the experience!
I have had fewer chances to try out some of the "smart TV" style features, but it was very easy to set up. Linux had no trouble detecting it.
I have been troubleshooting some minor issues that seem to pop up right after waking the computer and logging into the desktop. For the first few minutes to 15ish minutes the screen will sometimes momentarily turn completely black, then almost immediately go back to normal. Additionally I have had a few instances, which I show in one of the pictures, where each row of pixels shift into a sort of zipper pattern. I have fixed this by turning the screen off and back on again and it takes care of it.
I have also noticed, and I believe it is a feature, though I haven't been able to find anything about it yet, a little quirk of the screen. Every 10 or so minutes the whole screen shifts in one direction by a few pixels, I think it may be a feature to prevent burn in and it is not particularly bothersome even though it is noticeable.
I would definitely recommend this monitor to someone who needs the widescreen form factor, there is lots of real estate to play around with and the colors are quite brilliant.

A powerhouse for both gaming and productivity
on September 30, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 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.

Samsung finally got it right......almost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a few of these Samsung ultra-wide monitors in the past and this is by far the best one I have owned yet!
Out of the box this is a very sleek and beautiful monitor. It will look great sitting on any desk. It doesn't have the ultra-curve like previous models did, but I like just the slight curve better. I find I get less headaches or discomfort from using it for long periods of times as I did with previous models.
Not only is this a computer monitor, but it is a smart TV as well. You can watch the Samsung TV, Netflix and any other streaming apps like that on it. I love that they still have the picture in picture display so you can have TV on one half of the monitor and your computer screen on the other half simultaneously. Definitely one of my favorite features of this monitor!
Functionality wise, the screen is absolutely beautiful! Nice crisp and rich colors with deep blacks and the 240 refresh rate makes it perfect for gaming. You have all the inputs you need like HDMI, USBC, and Display Port. The monitor also has built in speakers as well. They aren't great, but they will get the job done and are fine for watching TV or streaming video.
I had a small problem where the screen would go black for a few seconds and then come back on randomly. I found out that I had to update the drivers and software for my video card and now it runs perfectly. So if you happen to have that problem, just do some updates and you should be good to go!
As it sits right now, it is probably one of the best monitors that you can buy on the market today! I would definitely check it out if you are in the market for a ultra-wide monitor. I think you would be hard pressed to find anything better.

More than meets the eye

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monitor is awesome! The amount of screen you get is insane! I love using it to game on my ps5, my wife uses it for work and she even can stream her favorite shows while she works in split screen mode. The monitor also allows you to download your favorite streaming services or watch tv over the internet. The screen resolution is top tier and has no problems keeping up with my PS5 games. Overall the monitor is amazing and I’m thinking of getting a second one.

Oh My Gosh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know where to begin. Probably with the fact that it's longer than my 4 year old. This monitor was so big I had to get a different desk. That being said IT IS WORTH IT! It's important to not that not every video game will scale to this resolution. Especially first person shooters because it could create an anti-competitive atmosphere. So my favorite game Overwatch gets black barred on the sides of the screen.
It did get me to finally cheat on my beloved OW and I installed HellDivers2 and HAD A BLAST. It's overwhelming but a positive overwhelming. Once installed, the monitor continued to surprise me by having a remote, tv/streaming functionality and a really nifty backlight that lights the wall behind you to your color choice or to match the pixels on the screen. Samsung knocked it out of the part with this one. I'm never going back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 49” Odyssey G9 comes with built-in smart TV features, making it incredibly convenient for accessing various streaming apps without needing extra devices. This means you can easily switch from gaming to watching your favorite shows and movies on platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and more, all directly from your monitor.
The large, immersive screen enhances your viewing experience, with streamed content looking fantastic due to vibrant colors and crisp details produced by the OLED panel and HDR10 support. It boasts a 32:9 aspect ratio with a 5,120 x 1,440 resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate! Whether you're catching up on a series, watching a movie, or streaming live content, the Odyssey G9’s expansive display transforms it into a mini home theater. In addition to built-in Wi-Fi, it supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, and Micro-HDMI connections.
Having everything accessible in one place simplifies your setup, allowing you to effortlessly switch between gaming and streaming without missing a beat. This versatility makes the Odyssey G9 not just a powerhouse for gaming and work, but also a great central hub for all your entertainment needs.
But this monitor isn’t just about gaming—it's a multitasking powerhouse too. For those of us who need to get things done between gaming sessions, the huge screen lets you snap multiple apps side-by-side with ease. You can have your email, browser, and a document open all at once without feeling cramped. Plus, the curve of the screen helps you stay focused on everything you’ve got going on. This monitor handles it all like a pro.
