Samsung - 49" Odyssey 1000R Curved Dual QHD 240Hz 1ms FreeSync Gaming Monitor with HDR1000 (HDMI x2, DP, USB) - Black - Open Box - Good

I bought this monitor specifically for sim racing, and it completely transformed the experience. The 49” ultra-wide screen combined with the aggressive 1000R curve makes you feel much more inside the car compared to a standard monitor setup. The Dual QHD resolution gives a huge field of view, which is amazing for seeing mirrors, corners, and track surroundings without needing multiple monitors. The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make everything feel incredibly smooth and responsive, especially during high-speed racing and fast steering inputs. Games like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and BeamNG look fantastic on this display. The immersion is honestly on another level. The build quality feels premium and the colors look great as well. Setup was straightforward, but make sure you have enough desk or sim rig space because this monitor is massive. A few things to keep in mind: - You need a strong GPU to run Dual QHD at high frame rates. - The size can feel overwhelming at first, but once adjusted, it’s hard to go back. - For sim racing, this is one of the best single-monitor setups you can get without going triple screens. Overall, absolutely worth it for sim racing enthusiasts. It made my driving setup feel far more realistic and immersive. 5/5.

This thing is great. If you try to look up opinions on this monitor you’ll see a lot of muddied responses speaking about the earlier models. This particular 2024 model doesn’t have any of those firmware issues that its previous versions are plagued with. I went from 3 monitors to this thing, and this thing is beautiful. Gaming is a whole different experience and productivity/multitasking feels way more fluid on a single ultrawide. This is my entry into the ultrawide world and I’m blown away. I was deciding between this one and the 4k 57inch model but I’m glad I settled on this. I’m not sure how the screen could look any better. I normally wall mount my monitors but I don’t see a necessity to with this one as the base is very solid. Not much else to say. It’s big, it’s beautiful and it doesn’t cost that much ($900 now). If you’re on the fence, go for it.

Simply - WOW! It makes working at my desk a complete joy and my eyes are thanking me for the choice! Dynamic color, excellent resolution, and perfect for my situation.

So the 244hz is a massive win for this monitor. Im a big Kingdom hearts fan and the PC version supports the Frame rate, i was able to go back into my copy of KH3 and jump into the data battles on critical mode and I could easily follow the wild teleporting and back and forth shenanigans they pull in those fights. Sounds like a weird way to write the review for this but if you havent olayed those battles, try watching someone online fight them, its wild. That being said, the frame rate is definitely its biggest draw. Its HDR is good, it has an immediate, noticable boost in color. Darker colors benefit most from this, purple is a mixed bag, dark purple is good, light purple feels off. Overall im happy with the HDR quality. One thing that kills me though is it does have noticable scan lines. Once you really start using it you dont notice them. But theyre there. Its something monitors this size just seems to have. Be aware of that if you purchase it.

This monitor is the best thing I could’ve done to add to my trading setup. I can literally see entire charts of stocks across the whole screen, from when the stock IPO’ed to present. It’s amazing! This would be great for gaming especially donating racing/flying. I would highly recommend this monitor to any of my friends. The only thing is, and it’s probably because of my own ignorance, and did not correctly change a necessary setting. But other than that I absolutely love it and it’s worth every penny.
