Customer Ratings & Reviews

Primarily used for casual use and work/productivity. I went from a double 27" set up to this. I have been enjoying the transition so far. This is early in the ownership phase so I can not review the longevity but it is a very nice monitor and would recommend it if you are looking for a nice ultrawide. I am not much of a gamer so I can not review that type of usage, although I would not mind trying to game on this, looks like it would be amazing! just 4 stars for now since it to early to award it a 5 star award.

I bought this for work and it’s def more of a gaming monitor. It’s a little more inconvenient to use for work because I do find myself swinging my head back and forth alot because it’s so wide but I’m also looking at really small numbers, not a gaming scene, so the issue is mine, not the monitor

Great looking monitor, great for my racing simulator, colors are sharp.. HDR needs some work

I was on the search for a new computer monitor. I had a decent 27” HP monitor for years but have always been wowed whenever walking thru my local Best Buy at some of the offerings from Samsung. I love Samsung TV’s and figured I would give one of their computer monitors a try to see if they were as good. I wanted to get something dramatically different then what I had, and had the chance to get the 49” Odyssey OLED G9 screen. When the box arrived, I was very intimidated! This box was just about as tall as my wife. After lugging it upstairs to my office/computer room, I began to unbox this enormous device. It’s well packaged, with a lot of styrofoam protecting the screen its self. In the box I found the monitor, the base and stand, wall mounting bracket, the huge power brick and cord, a display port connection wire, & an USB-C to USB-A adapter. Following the guide for unpacking and installation was easy and more importantly, helpful. It shows the optimal way of putting the stand together and attaching it to the monitor. The helpful hint of finishing the assembly while the monitor itself is still in the box and connecting any wires before moving to its resting spot was a time saver I’m sure. The connections in the back of the monitor are tricky to access and actually connect a wire from the front, at least it was for me. Trust me, you don’t want to have to move this monster that often. The base is heavy duty, as it needs to be to hold this screen up. It just doesn’t move that easily once you set it. After I had my connections to computers and the power cord plugged in, I was ready to go. Before I turned it on, I just stared at it. Going from what I had to this screen was (again) intimidating to say the least. I turned the Odyssey on I had to actually move my eyes and turn my head to see the entire screen. I immediately had the feeling that I bit off more than I could chew with this monitor. After a week with it, I’m still adjusting to using it for PC gaming and other computer uses. I’ve tried a couple games with it. Diablo IV and Gears of War 5 look very much better on this screen than they used to on my previous monitor. The Odyssey G9 and its super high refresh rate ensured there is no lag in the visuals. Playing Gears in particular, moving the aim from one end of the screen to the other was fast, almost too fast. The OLED screen is just beautiful and makes the games look their absolute best, even with a seriously outdated graphics card. Besides the great screen and all of the screen real estate, my favorite feature is being able to run two inputs at the same time and see the screens in either Picture in Picture or Picture by Picture! This works insanely well due to how big the screen is. Both “screens” look completely normal and are still bigger than what I was using previously. Multitasking is this monitor’s superpower! There are some other major quality of life features as well. The screen is big and beautiful and OLED and is glare free. Samsung says it’s 54% less glossy than other Samsung monitors. The position of the screen is easily moved up and down along the stand arm and can be tilted. There are also settings to protect the OLED screen (logo brightness) and your eyes (eye saver mode). A couple things to note though. This monster screen throws a lot of heat off of it. In the winter months, you’d barely need to have heat on in the room that this monitor is in. The thing I struggled most with, though it’s admittedly probably user error, I cannot get sound to play thru the monitor’s speakers. I’ve tried a couple different things and none have worked so far. Overall, the Samsung Odyssey G9 49” OLED is a great monitor that begs the question, how big is too big? I think for a computer screen, that you are typically closer to, this is right at the edge of too big. It even might have passed it. Like I said earlier, I’m still trying to get used to the sheer width of the screen to consume my entertainment. If the size of the screen doesn’t scare you, then pretty much everything else about it is great. The picture it displays is beautiful and will always be in sync with what is actually happening in the game. For me, even more than this, the ability for the Samsung Odyssey G9 to output two devices in a Picture in Picture or Picture by Picture is the amazing feature in this monitor.

Samsung - 49" Odyssey OLED G9 Dual-QHD 240Hz 0.03ms G-Sync Compatible Curved Glare Free Gaming Monitor The box it is packed in is quite large, and it is recommended that you team up with someone to take it out of the box and set it up so you don’t get it broken! The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 monitor is a 49-inch 5120 x 1440 resolution panel, the equivalent of two 27-inch 2560 x 1440 monitors stitched together into a big super-ultrawide with a 32:9 aspect ratio. Indeed, it is very big, and your biggest problem may be finding 47 ¼ inches of desk room to accommodate this beast. The base has height and tilt adjustability and a flat, wide, flat surface on your desk that is stable but also unobtrusive. The curved monitor gives a real immersive feel when you have a 32:9 aspect ratio game and the OLED gives you the wow in colors and a true black, making things pop. It is a nice balance between bringing the edges in a bit for immersive gaming while not distorting the image too much for desktop usage. Viewing angles are outstanding and you won't have any issues with color shifting or tint when viewed from off angles. Yeah, I know 32:9 aspect games are in limited supply, but if your game only does 21:9 and 16:9 ultrawide, you still get a good feel with the true black border fading away in your sight picture. It has a refresh rate that tops out at 240Hz. It supports adaptive sync technology, and response times are rated at 0.03ms. You have an HDMI 2.1, micro HDMI, and DisplayPort 1.4 connection. There is also a headphone jack and 3 USB C ports, which are solely for hub functionality and do not support display connectivity, power delivery capabilities, or a KVM switch. It comes with a power brick that is about 8 ½ x 4 x 1 ¾ inches. And it also comes with an adapter to allow for a VESA wall mount. The back of the monitor has a RGB LED light for syncing with your game action or some background lighting. It can be deactivated. (CoreSync & Core Lighting+ add color and enhance the screen’s surroundings) The OLED panel has additional features: To stay cool it has an automatic brightness control: Thermal Modulation System - Algorithms predict surface temperature and automatically control brightness accordingly to reduce heat. Adaptive brightness on fixed images: Logo and Taskbar Detection to help prevent burn-in. And an automatic screen saver: The screen dims itself after 10 minutes of inactivity and returns to regular brightness with any input. The back of the monitor has a joystick that is the on/off switch and an options control. It allows the selection of Game modes, Picture modes, Picture in a Picture and Picture By Picture, Screen display setups, Systems, and Support. You can select any of your display connections to use as a PIP/PBP setup on the display. This can be from any appropriate source. If your PC has multiple display connectors, you can use these for a side-by-side display or PIP. You can also hook up different devices to different inputs for the PIP or PBP display on the monitor. It self-adjusts, and it is like having two monitors glued together. If you prefer, you can do a PIP setup. There are four different mode presets. This capability gives me the most flexibility while gaming or using this for desktop productivity work with its resolution, equivalent to two 1440p monitors side by side.

The beauty that Samsung brings behind their 49" Odyssey is going to require lots of desk space, combined with a powerful PC rig to ensure pixelization runs smoothly. While this monitor might not be for all, if you have the cash and the PC to run it then this is a very solid buy. The Samsung Odyssey is definitely geared for those looking to multi-task without running mulitple monitors and those looking for ultra wide gaming. I personally was very psyched to use this as a gaming monitor and really push things to the limit. Diving right in to things the dual OLED tech behind this thing really makes colors pop. When playing games like Final Fantasy XIV, the immersion factor became more real as the landscape looked so vibrant i almost felt i could touch the blades of grass. The HDR content somehow felt different as my blacks seemed more true which offered better lighting. In games like Cyberpunk the city back lights almost seemed to gleam off the dark alleyways giving more contrast when exploring night city. If your in to racing games that support ultra wide then your going to definetly want to put this monitor in as a consideration as the ultra wide curve of the monitor wraps around your field of vision. This makes it easier to see out your side windows which helps pull you deeper in to the world in which you are racing in. The 240Hz refresh rate combined with a killer .03ms response time ensures that as long as your PC is built for space launches, your monitor will be able to hang with your fast pace action. Speaking on the subject this leads me to some of the negatives behind this monitor that requires some mention. First off not all games support ultra wide, so if you are buying this for that reason make sure your games support it. Second, due to how wide this monitor is, it most definetly is going to put your PC to work. It is very critical you don't have a sub par gaming rig or you will be banging your head against the wall after dropping all that cash on it. Which leads me to my last opinion. This is a very expensive monitor, now don't get me wrong it is worth every penny but make sure you have done all your research and can be sure the previous two negatives don't make this a regrettable buy. This monitor is truly a power house and the only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was just do to how demanding it was on my PC. Other than that, this monitor can't be beat.

This is a super hard review to write. I returned the monitor today. I was having issues with t he monitor dropping the display port connection. Two to three times a day...just for 10 to 15 seconds. I am running an AMD 6750 graphics card that had no issues running 2 32" 4k monitors and 8k cables. I reuturned it 100% because of the 14 day return policy...what if the issue was the monitor and not a setting or something else? Here is what I will say about...it had by far t he best image of any monitor I have ever owned. the OLED screen was amazing. For productivity, the screen was a game changer. The ability to split the screen to a center display and then two sides made my life so easy. for gaming, I only [lay a cople games that can use the full resolution. It was cool, but I felt it was kind of "fish eyed" view. But it was immersive, clear, fast...just awesome. I am very sad about returning the monitor...my heart aches with "what iff questions.

Let’s just get this out there…. This is a BIG monitor. Before you purchase make sure your computer space has the room. Both the width and the depth for the base I would recommend two people to take the few minutes to take out of the box and assemble Comes with an easy base, and you can do it with one person, but would be easier with two Also comes with the adapter for a VESA arm mount as well Large power brick, if your power supply is on the desktop, you will need to make some room. Underneath, this brick will need to be on the floor or supported, it has some heft to it So I have a KVM for my primary area so I can switch between my work and fun machines. My work Mac (an M1 MacBook Pro) was not able to work with it via HDMI, which I figured going in I am hoping a newer Mac will work down the road. It just couldn’t do the resolution So this is going to be exclusive for the PC with the NViDIA 2080. I was able to get the full resolution. So game play was just awesome at this size. Fast response, great color, amazing detail Had to connect it via display port to get the full resolution. Looking forward to test it Microsoft Flight Sinulator soon… And how it performs with a 5080 Nvidia After some initial time, we ended up using two video input mode DP we setup for about 60 percent of the screen. We then put the other 40 percent on and HDMI switcher So when we want a “2nd monitor” for a game, we got it. But then we also use it for a Amazon Firestick, TV support That way we can stream video and other things without sacrificing PC performance Very awesome monitor If you have the right video card, and the games to support Changes everything

what can I say about this samsung oled G9 this has been a great experience gaming with this monitor the beautiful looking picture due to QDOLED, and a sleek design this has to be samsung best looking and designed monitor today when it comes to super ultrawide and nothing come close yet DEVICE unboxing and setting is fairly simple you can set up the whole monitor by yourself, I love the coating of this monitor the color of the body makes it look extra premium and does not look cheap. this QDOLED is a 32:9 with a resolution of 5120 x 1440, 240hz with a 110 PPI, if you’re not familiar it’s like 2 27” monitors together. this new version also support the samsung oled glare free that help reduce reflection specifically if you have a major light, or windows behind you while using this monitor it helps with those situations. this also comes equipped with Corsync lighting feature, a 360 RGB at the back of the monitor. back to design so far i’ve noticed that other gaming monitor company seems to copy the route that samsung took with their design simplicity and elegant. you will find a support for DP, HDMI and couple USB port and headphone jack. not to forget this also support Nvidia Gsync . Support HDR+ and also to make sure you don’t lose the extra piece to mount this monitor it’s in the package. EXPERIENCE this is not my first QDOLED and I usually go after gloss free but after spending time with this I started getting used to the new coating, i’ve tested a great amount of games, including cyberpunk 2077, I even beaten RDR with this monitor and the feeling of immersion is like something you never experienced before you see more horizontal space on your left to right I just sucks you right in. I played tons of halo infinite from exploring the campaign and even played couple of multiplayer matches and it does takes some adjustment but trust me just run couple of games and your brain starts to get familiar with it. I also even set my game to window mode so that way I have the other parts of the screen to display my browser and have youtube running while I was gaming. but the best thing about this monitor is that it’s perfect if you enjoy sim racing. luckly I owned one and my family members have been having blast playing forza horizon 5. I think QDOLED which is samsung tech is way better than WOLED it’s brighter, punches more colors and when it comes to HDR it way more accurate on colors compared to WOLED. I love how samsung support picture by picture I was able to have my gaming PC on half of the screen while the other half was running my PS5. it works flawlessly and I think it’s a good way to play coop on some games instead of standard split screen, as long as you own the game on PC and console. most game I played I was still pulling over 100 fps but most of the time I have DLSS running. CONCLUSION there’s no such thing as a perfect 10/10 product there’s always something you will find that you might not like, and the thing about owning a 32:9 monitor like this samsung oled g9 is that an aspect ratio of 32:9 sometimes you’ll run into a situation that your favorite game might not fully support it properly what I mean by that is the way the FOV looks might be off, or the when you have it set to full screen each end of the screen looks like it’s wrapped around it gives that stretched look. the last thing is fully not supporting the 32:9 format so you end up getting black bars on left and right. also issue when playing FPS the vertical space was hard to get used too. on Halo infinite the intro is so weird due to reduction of vertical space. but I don’t fully understand how these change when honestly you’re just adding space on left and right so why do we lose vertical space? I also think RE4 just terrible with this monitor Leon is way too close that you might want to get a mod to make things all worked out. sim racing wasn’t as bad but again vertical space problem is there, people might say just changed the FOV, no that’s not the issue I wish some how a vertical space problem on games with 32:9 will get fixed to be normal. again not all games support 32:9 if you play overwatch you will have black bars since it only supports 21:9. last thing Samsung still seems to not have a proper 3 year oled care coverage like everybody else so I hope samsung would change that in the future.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED 49” delivers excellent OLED picture quality with a wide 32:9 layout, great for multitasking and productivity. The monitor is also relatively light for its size, likely due to the lack of built-in speakers. There are a few drawbacks also worth noting. A remote is not Included so all settings and menu navigation must be done using the toggle button located behind the monitor, not the most convenient. No built-in speakers—now this isn’t a deal breaker for me per se since I use headphones, but it’s something worth mentioning. From a gaming perspective, some titles still don’t fully support 32:9 aspect ratio so definitely confirm that prior. The 1800R curvature also doesn’t feel as immersive. Lastly, the UI looks a bit dated; not a major issue, but at this price point I expected something more modern. Overall, it’s an excellent monitor for OLED image quality and productivity, with a few compromises in usability and gaming immersion depending on your needs.

I’ll get right to the point. Summary: Once dialed in the colors are very good. This is by far the most responsive monitor I have ever had. Pro’s: The most effective way I can review I could do is give a couple comparisons to gauge if this type of monitor is good for you. - The 240 HZ refresh rate is very real. I have not had any issues with flickering, bad pixels, etc. - Compared to my AW3423DWF 165 HZ Alienware OLED, the 240 HZ is a very noticeable difference. Movement in games is incredible. - Compared to my 240 HZ 27” KTC fast VA panel the Samsung OLED panel is noticeably clearer. I love VA panels for work, but there is always a gaming trade off. - Once colors are tuned in this is very close in color quality to my Alienware AW3423DWF. - The 49” panel is admirable for multitasking. Text is better than I expected. Equal to AW3423DWF with a “perception adjustment” from 34” to 49” - Although I was worried about game visuals, no games I have played seem distorted. I always play in full screen - Connecting two PC’s to this is surprisingly easy and works very well. Simple monitor settings to get there - The image while using this as two monitors is flawless CONS: - No functional USB settings to control from PC. You have to use the “joy stick” OSD to get there. - Colors take some playing around with to get dialed in - A GOTCHA: Width of the screen makes the Desktop background image less enticing and skews perception. Distracts from the WOW factor this OLED has to offer while not staring at the desktop backgroun Overall I’m very happy with the purchase. But I knew what I wanted. Gaming blows me away with this monitor.

It's God a good picture and I like the size for 3 windows across. I used it to replace dual monitors instead of getting a third. It has some problems waking up from sleep over display port when using Linux for some reason. On Windows it works fine. It is pretty hard to deal with the ports on the back due to how wide the monitor is.

It's a beautiful monitor to look at. I have to admit I didn't buy this monitor for gaming. I bought it for productivity hoping it would eleminate the need for two monitors. While it did work good I was surprised to learn that it's not 4K. As a result when viewing documents and text the resolution was not great. So if you are coming from a 4K monitor and you expect to use this for productivity then you'll probably be dissappointed. I decided to return it after a few days of use.

It is a very wide monitor, very comfortable for multi-tasking. with this said, I don't get alot from it for gaming. Yes, it's wide but not very tall, at least I don't feel it very immersive. But it is a very decent monitor, good frame rate at 1440p. finally, just have in mind that not all games will make full use of the screen space.

Looks great, the display port is slow to react making it hard to access the BIOS. But I got a display one that was in good condition fora good price. I also like this cause there is no Samsung interface with a bunch of nonsense. But man does it look good.

Fairly decent. Delivers excellent immersion in alot of my games being currently played. After switching from a primary 32'' curved g7 odyssey to this & playing games like Witchfire & Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, I found myself in awe. It has some minor issues pairing with Auto HDR features in games where it doesn't apply correctly, but it's easily fixed by turning Auto HDR to ON then back to Auto HDR. I'm giving this a 4 out of 5 due to it having some slight instability when using the monitor stand. Other than that, it is a wonderful purchase that exceeded my expectations & removed all concerns of it not being worth it.

This product is lightweight (so easy to mount) and refresh rate is great for gaming. Use it on a daily basis and haven’t ran into any issues thus far. Great size which helps with productivity.

I dont recommend this model as it does not include a remote or speakers, I took mine back and got a Samsung - 49" Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) DQHD 240Hz 0.03ms G-Sync Compatible Curved Smart Gaming Monitor - Silver Both great product but I prefer a remote and speaker

didn't get a chance to use it because open box experience was awful. The screen was detaching because the glue had so much tension. Maybe defective returned product sold as good condition. Did not want to review one star because it might be bestbuy’s mistake. Regardless please beware of the screen detaching problem.

I quite liked the monitor, but very uncomfortable for work (too large). Not sure how it would be for gaming.
