Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded from a fairly basic 32 inch Dell monitor and wow this thing is impressive. The monitor is both massive and immersive. My primary use case is for gaming, I do very little productivity on my home PC. With gaming, I mostly play sim racing titles, and the screen handles it very well, from the colors, motion, response, etc. I also play some FPS games, and this is where the 49 inch screen probably isn’t the best, as I’m scanning from one side of the screen to the other to look at my HUD, which probably isn’t the best for top tier ultra competitive gaming. You could shrink game down to a more reasonable size if this bothers you. The construction is fantastic, and I’ve had zero issues out of the box (banding, dead pixels, etc). I was paying extra attention to imperfections as I’ve read about quality control being an issue with Samsung monitors. As for complaints, the Tizen Os is a pain to set up. You have to connect this to the internet on initial set-up. I couldn’t find a way around it. The set up process is a bit buggy, and I had to manually enter my WiFi info, then it lost connection and had to restart twice. There is an app that can aid with initial set-up but I found that buggy too. All in all it took about 45 minutes to setup. After that, Tizen hasn’t been an issue at all. I forget it’s there and I don’t interact with it, as I’m just not interested in all the extra smart features that this thing offers. Another minor annoyance is when you turn on the monitor, it pops up the settings bar at the bottom of the screen. It gets in the way of the windows task bar for about 5 seconds, then it goes away on its own. There is no setting to stop this, but you kinda get use to it and I’m sure firmware update in the future could give us the option to disable this. Lastly, this is my first OLED monitor. So I’m trying to baby this thing. I’m worried about burn-in, so I make sure to turn the screen off when I’m going to be away from my desk for more than 5 minutes. Maybe I’m just paranoid. If you want a monitor that you don’t want to worry about, then maybe not an OLED. However the screen size, the colors, the perfect black, refresh rate, clearness of the whole thing is worth the extra step of turning it on/off.

The monitor is great the Oled screen is amazing and i love how much i can do all at once. Mist games now support the size and you get drawn into the world. Does take time to get used to it but a great buy. The screen does have minor problem where i have to turn on with the remote from time to time but no a big deal. Also use the game mode settings the games look amazing.

Picture Quality: Still looks spectacular. The OLED maintains its quality. ​Durability: Almost no one reports burn-in. The prevention technology works. ​Daily Use: The 49" size becomes essential. You won't want to go back to a smaller monitor. ​Persistent Issue: Reflections from the glossy screen are still bothersome in very bright rooms. ​Conclusion: A great investment that continues to be worthwhile in the long run.

Awesome monitor. Huge viewing area without the bezel of having to use 2 monitors. 240Hz and killer view for games!!!

I mostly use the Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 for work, and it’s been a game changer. It replaced my dual-monitor setup, and the ultra-wide screen makes it easy to have my AI code editor and browser open side by side, especially helpful now that AI coding tools are smarter and more integrated into my workflow. The sharp visuals and smooth performance make long hours at the desk a lot more comfortable.

This monitor has literally changed my gaming experience. The colors, contrast and perfect black levels make gaming with hdr or sdr amazing. I never realized how much of a difference the ultrawide aspect ratio makes for immersion. My only complaint is that it would bave been slightly better with a deeper curve but that is no where close to being a deal breaker. Buy it, you will love it.

Amazing monitor gaming for office work and LG 45 inch OLED is better for gaming

Monitor looks amazing ! There's a weird software glitch that causes the monitor to freak out and go black screen if you tab out of a game... other than that it is amazing !

Great picture quality and easy connection. The build in UI is easy to use and the remote that comes with it makes setup easy. Only issue was screen flicker which was easily fixed by correcting GPU settings.

Monitor is everything you could ask for. A couple of minor issues with the connections. Like the screen would go black with the use of displayport on the newer firmware but this was solved after I switched from display port to HDMI to micro-HDMI. Hoping with a future firmware update I can go back to displayport. For the time time being though, it runs perfectly with the connections I'm using.

I love this monitor. I originally bought an open box one that had an issue so I returned it and got a brand new one. I use this attached to my 5070ti and and couldn’t be happier

The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that I am still trying to figure it out ...... seems overly complicated to get the picture just right and to switch between different screen desktops. Absolutely hate the included media content that seems to be the default go to when it is switched on.

This screen is amazing you really have to see this in person to really expirience it. The fact that its oled sealed the deal. Be prepared to change your viewing habits a bit full screen on apps like chrome is not fully supported for such a large aspect ratio. Some games are not meant to be played on 32:9 either. Make sure the games you love to play are before you buy

This is the dream monitor for 2023. It's not perfect, 4k would be nice and a taller aspect ratio but for what it is, its incredible. The build is beautiful and the screen looks fantastic. The remote is useful and the smart tv part actually works. Having your main window right in the middle flanked by other windows on each side is amazing. If you can afford it, this is the best productivity/all around monitor I have seen.

I don't write reviews, but I had to write this one. The Odyssey OLED G9 is an excellent display for both work and gaming and just kicking back to relax. The screen image is stunning thanks to the OLED panel! I will most likely use it as a TV replacement as well. I really like that the Samsung Tizen OS (along with a remote) was included and the XBOX cloud gaming works really well (Spectrum gigabit internet connection). I'm an Android user and I love that Samsung DEX works natively on this monitor. The XBOX controller links to the monitor with no problem, and I have just realized that you don't even need to own an XBOX to enjoy playing the games! I use it to play my Steam games, XBOX games, use DEX on my Android phone, watch my streaming services, and for work where I need 3 screens for productivity. The ultrawide format may not be for everyone, and you need to measure to make sure the 49" screen will fit your space. You may want to compare this monitor's 1800R curve to a more aggressive 1000R curve to see what works best for you. Also know that the 32:9 ratio doesn't work for everything. While some games, apps, and services may be optimized for a 32:9 (5120 by 1440), those are few and far between and the "stretch" to make it fit the screen looks weird, so you will have to live with black borders to make use of the best resolution for what you are using that isn't optimized. That being said, I can live with it because it does everything well and I don't mind living with the black borders.

Unlike most others, im not using this for gaming, but for work. I had a 3 monitor set up that took up too much space in my office. Transitioning to this reduced clutter and made a more efficient work space. Quality is great!

Insane monitor. Just an absolutely gorgeous picture with a solid 240 refresh rate.

This is a great monitor and I am still getting used to the ultrawide aspect ratio for the games I play. The OLED is super crisp and I love the response time. This is a LARGE monitor so make sure that you plan ahead and have the proper space to fit it on your desk. I was super annoyed with the fact that I had to setup WiFi and connect it to my existing SmartThings account just to perform a simple firmware update. This was a Openbox item and I will say that GeekSquad did an excellent job re-packaging it and the extended warranty is worth the piece of mind.

I wanted to like this monitor I really did let’s start with the pros: Build quality- this is a well built monitor that feels premium. Packaging- Great protection especially for a ultra wide curved monitor. Picture: looks great and had little to no issues optimizing the picture to my liking. Cons: Software: this is personally the biggest issue for me and ultimately why I returned it. The software on this TV is terrible and requires you to use it to even function the tv. It creates issues switching inputs and even turning it on and off. If there was a way to turn the smart menu off I would have kept it.

This monitor is so nice. Easy to setup and is a huge upgrade from my previous 2 monitor setup. I am using it for productivity, and I love being able to actually use the center! The oled screen did take a little bit getting used to coming from IPS (made me a little nauseous) but now my eyes are used to it and its great. The real estate on this thing is just amazing.
