Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this as my daily display for work and personal use for 6 months now. 90% is Mac usage, some PC, Steamdeck and Switch usage. It's so close to being great but there are some technical and product decisions that are holding it back. I'm unlikely to buy another Samsung monitor that includes any smart features as they seem to use them to gatekeep features. Pros: Huge screen, perfect curve radius, good clarity (most of the time), ability to split to multiple displays. Cons: A Mac will only power this at full resolution using a display port cable. At 240hz the Mac will crash occasionally. This seems to be an Apple issue as my PC has never crashed due to the display being run full resolution at 240hz. This is probably a Mac issue only, but sometimes the text rendering is bad, especially if using multi view. Changing sources, or turning the display off/on can sometimes fix this. There is too much crap built into the monitor. I don't need apps and streaming services and all the other nonsense in my monitor. Samsung requires you to be connected to wifi and logged into a Samsung account in order to use multi view. If you turn off wifi multi view will not work. You can at least block network access for the monitor at the router to bypass that restriction. Changing display inputs or multi view layouts requires diving into different menus. I *think* you can make a custom home screen and pin those there, but that requires you download some app to your phone.

just got the Samsung 49” Odyssey OLED G9, and it’s incredible! The picture quality is stunning with its DQHD resolution, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything super smooth. The curved design really pulls you into the game, and the 0.03ms response time with G-Sync compatibility means no lag at all. Plus, it’s a smart monitor, so switching to streaming shows is a breeze. The sleek silver finish looks great on my desk. If you’re a gamer, this monitor is a must-have!

“I recently purchased a monitor from Best Buy and it exceeded my expectations. The display is crisp, vibrant, and perfect for both work and gaming. The refresh rate makes a big difference, and the build quality feels premium. Installation was straightforward, and Best Buy’s customer service made the whole experience easy. From browsing to pickup, everything was smooth and convenient. I’m really happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking to upgrade.”

Received it on Monday 11/27/23, set it up Tuesday 11/28/23. Screen failed on Thursday 11/30/23. 48 hours of pure joy, used it 2 times. Why 5-star review? Because IT IS THE BEST MONITOR EVER. I hope Samsung will fix it or replace it, but It was best experience which lasted 48 hours.

Its a great screen. I decided to get bestbuy account with the fact of getting 10% off my first purchase which clearly didnt happen. After calling the credit card number to find out why, she had me tiined that bestvuy would be sending me a gift card for that. That was a false accusation. They are going to send me a bestbuy gift card to use at bestbuy only. So technically im not getting 10%off, only to reinvest my 10% at bestbuy. I canceled the card.

I ended up returning one due to a malfunction with half the panel. And i did end up returning the functional one due to my person taate. OLED is great! But for me the 1800r curve is just not curved enough.

cream of the crop as far as ultrawides, easily top 3 currently on the market. I got mine open box "excellent" for only 600. I love this monitor. I use it for work and play and it doesn't skip a beat. I recommend getting some high quality cables if you connect it to multiple devices. Overall 4.5 stars.

I recently purchased this monitor as it was on sale and got it for a great price. Man, let me tell you when this is the most amazing looking monitor I’ve ever seen. Everything looks amazing and the colors pop like nothing else. Even microsoft word looks like an event. I bought this for productivity and it does not disappoint. I can have so many windows open and can still clearly see what’s on all of them without havint to squint. I plan on hopefully gaming on it sooner or later so I can’t wait see how games look on it. Get it while you can in the great discounts Best Buy is offering right now, you won’t regret it.

This display has few equals in terms of the display quality. I wish the actual stand and components did not have so much plastic but I suppose it helps cut costs. The on-screen display is distracting and garish but the panel quality makes up for this.

Without a doubt the best monitor I've ever had. Since I like to irace this monitor has been absolutely perfect. Besides that, it has a ton of smart features which I'm using. It allowed me to get rid of 3 older monitors that took up a ton of space on my desk. I have a nice clutter free desk now and a great monitor.

Took some adjustment to the smart monitor functions, but I am jappybwith the purchase of this monitor. I will never use a non OLED monitor again after using this one, the colors are of a high contrast and the darks are much darker. If you are looking for a high quality ultrawide, this is a great option.

I really love this monitor despite a few annoying things. I came from 2 27” lcd monitors and I dont think I could go back. First time with oled and I love, I questioned if it actually looked better so I had someone play the same game with me on my old monitor so I could compare side by side and it was so much better on the g9 even though both were 1440p. Only annoying part is when you mute the screen it will continuously have a bubble on the left side showing its muted which I hate. Worth it overall though

Really great monitor! Still on windows 10, so with 11 I think having the centered windows menu will make this monitor even better! Love the quality, and haven’t had any display issues with my PC (running a 4070 GPU). There is an interesting second where it seems the display shifts up & down within a split second, but so infrequent is hasn’t really been a problem while gaming. I prefer the large, single monitor as opposed to my dual monitor setup, and it makes working, gaming, and video-watching much easier. I haven’t tried any of the Smart TV features as everything I need I can watch on my PC.

Looks good and is very large. The samsung smert system is kind of whatever and honestly quite laggy but other than that I don’t really have any qualms.

I use this monitor for photography (editing image files) and the learning curve for the monitor is steep. The size is amazing and allows me to multitask efficiently and effectively. The colors are amazing, but they took a bit of work and learning to get there. With that said, I am very happy with my purchase and and am enjoying this monitor very much.

Incredible monitor, it looks great on the desk and in the room but the picture quality is awesome. Looks great playing all next gen games. It's also great for productivity due to the size - I split the screen with an app for work. Makes spreadsheets a million times easier.

This display is amazing! It takes gaming and content viewing to a whole different level. I was on the fence about buying an OLED monitor. Not sure of the overall effect of prolonged static images on the screen. I decided to use my older VA panel display for static apps and elements and use the G95SC for gaming and watching video content. I use the Samsung display connected to my PC. The initial setup took some effort. Once set, the monitor remembers the last source used so it goes straight to displaying the PC at startup.

Coming from a LED G9, This is definitely an upgrade in terms of size and weight of the monitor, and then overall display quality and response is way better. There are only two things about this model that really have me considering returning it. 1) Upon unboxing and going through the setup process and doing all updates. The overall experience of the Tizen OS was very laggy. Click remote button, wait, then something stutters upon screen. Other times these functions would be smooth. 2) If this monitor has the Tizen Smart features like "Multiview", then why is it heavily limited to only a split (16:9 x 16:9) layout? When all other G9 models had both PIP and PBP layouts of (16:9 x 16:9) OR (4:3 x 21:9). Even more frustrating about learning this feature is in the E-Manual and online guides about using multiview, it is shown that you can choose between multiple layouts and resize inputs. For being one of the most expensive models to date in the United states. I wouldn't expect getting Tizen OS lite. Conclusion: If you want smart tv functions, either get a oled smart tv of the same size that will cost about the same or less. OR, wait for the Samsung G93SC which is the same exact product but without the Smart TV OS, has the PIP and PBP functions from what is advertised on Samsungs website, and is the gaming monitor this product is suppose to be. otherwise, very nice!

Pros: Excellent image Excellent brightness and contrast Cons: It tries ties to be a tv, when all I want is a computer monitor. I purchased it as an open box excellent and Best Buy didn't exaggerate about it being in excellent condition.

What can I say about this that hasnt already been said? This thing js amazing! The OLED is clean and clear, the response rate is snappy, the sound is phenomenal. I didnt think the virtual spatial surround sound would be very effective but I can hear footsteps of the enemy clear as day and it somehow actually sounds like they are coming from above and behind me. This thing is way bigger than you think it will be, my only gripe is i wish they made the height of the screen a bit more and sacrificed the width, as for anything but gaming, a little much. The smart features are ok, could have not had those and kick the price down a bit, but I picked this guy up on sale and I would have to say, it was definitely worth it. I would not have purchased this if itbwas at its retail price of 2k however.
