Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s wonderful great graphics and awesome packaging and wonderful staff

Great quality monitor just wish it was compatible with older games.

would be 5 stars if it didint have a very previlent problem of blacking out randomly and not detecting the Display port untill you reset it. (Samsung knows this problem is common and has not fixed it) unless you turn off game mode... which effectively drops the refersh rate by half and lowers the resolution to a normal 2k monitor.... defeats the purpose entirely of buying this monitor.

First of all, why does a *monitor* need such a complex OS. Literally all it does is accept a video feed. Any normal TV for the last 25 years has made it easy to switch between sources, but it is 100% a PITA to do this on their system. It's unbelievable bloated and making for a dual input source config a huge pain. All bc they decided it needed to be a "smart" monitor. COMPLETELY USELESS FUNCTIONALITY THAT MAKES MY LIFE DIFFICULT.

This monitor is superb for gaming and watching media. The OLED panel is the best for black levels and contrast and the processor in the monitor does a great job of enhancing the picture. The massive 49 inch screen, with 5120 x 1440 resolution, has a slight curve to it. This helps when looking side to side on the screen and helps you feel immersed in the content you are watching. Gaming latency is practically non existent at .03 MS, and then 240 hz refresh rate will keep everything smooth. The monitor is slimmer than I expected, making it feel like it take up less space. The included stand is height and tilt adjustable - but does not get as high as I would like so I’m using it on a monitor stand. Also, because it is lighter than you would expect it should work well on a high quality monitor arm. The monitor runs a Samsung operating system, so you have essentially a smart TV and gaming monitor in one. You can load content from all of the usual streaming apps, and mirror your device screen (it even support AirPlay, allowing you to mirror your Mac Laptop or play music). You can also use your favorite game steaming service right on the monitor. It can display two inputs side by side (2560x1400 each) and remember which layout you had. This allows you to easily select it again from the input menu. There are inputs for micro HDMI, full sized HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4, The HDMI port support 2.1 for full bandwidth for 240 hz. It also can act as a usb hub, with 3 USB inputs. There is no thunderbolt or USB 4 and I would expect any premium monitor to include those. For gaming, playing the Witcher 3 at full resolution looks unreal. Racing games are also so immersive because of the super wide screen and free sync and the fast refresh rate keep everything so smooth. The game mode makes a one touch setting for gaming (which you can adjust if needed) and the game bar is a nice touch to see how things are running. The screen is glossy and I would prefer a matte option, with the great black levels also comes great reflections which can be distracting. While the OS is good, there are too many options. I appreciate all of the smart features, but starting up the monitor takes a bit longer than I would like and there are so many options and I feel like there shouldn’t be a high learning curve for a monitor. That being said, the included remote does help with voice input and making it easy to navigate around. Also, do not get this monitor strictly for productivity, it shines with watching content and especially gaming. Using it with Windows for office work is a mixed experience. The screen size is great to have many windows open and to easily see everything all at once, but the OLED sub pixel layout makes things a bit fuzzy to me - this might not be as noticeable for some people. Using with a MacBook Pro M1 was not feasible. HDMI does not recognize the full resolution (likely a limitation of MacOS) and using a DisplayPort to USB Type C connection eventually allowed the full resolution (when not in game mode I had to install a software package to allow setting the full resolution). However, the text on the MacBook never looked clear at all and edges of windows were visibly pixelated. Bottom line, this is the best gaming monitor I’ve even seen. Use as a smaller OLED tv is also great, but I would look elsewhere if you also need to use the monitor for productivity.

Beautiful monitor. Definitely THE monitor to get. Wouldnt reccomend anuthing else for high end gaming.

Excellent monitor at a great price! I especially like how flat the curve is in comparison with the non-oled g9!

Let me preface this with the fact that I hate leaving poor reviews... but if I can save anyone else the heartache and inconvenience it'll be worth it: As with every other Samsung product I have ever owned, this product presents well but fails to perform. I bought one monitor, the screen started flashing black like it was turning off every few minutes. I figured this was a problem with my GPU or cables, but replaced the cables (Not spending $1000+ to upgrade a 3080TI to a 4xxx variant) and did not get an improvement. Finally swapped out the monitor yesterday once the screen started artifacting, turned off, and never turned back on again. Now I am on monitor #2 and after a night of superb gaming video quality, this morning the flashing has started again... so I expect this screen to die in the next few days like the last one did. To all who are considering this screen, buy something else. Google the issue for this model and see how common the issue is. Save yourself the heartache and give your money to someone else. This is a shame... the display is beautiful when it actually works.

Perfect for competitive play and productivity. Wish the curve was more like the lcd model.

I bought this monitor when it was on sale I love the design

Great panel ...takes a bit to setup ...pair with good video card i have 4080 super

I am incredibly frustrated after spending an entire day trying to troubleshoot the display settings on the monitor I purchased. The quality is terrible, and it’s unusable as an extended monitor for work, which was the sole reason I bought it. The experience with Geek Squad and Advanced Support was equally disappointing. Despite spending hours on remote support, no one could identify or resolve the issue. Their lack of knowledge and effort was disheartening. To make matters worse, I now have to take time off work to visit the store and request a refund. This is a $1,000 monitor, and I expected far better quality and service for such a significant purchase. Sadly, no one I interacted with at Best Buy seemed to care about the inconvenience or the defective product. This has been a deeply disappointing experience, and I’m left questioning the value of shopping with Best Buy in the future. I hope steps are taken to improve both the quality of products and the level of customer support provided.

Amazing Quality - I would recommend to anyone looking to use one screen for gaming or even work!

Best monitor I’ve ever own. I use it for both productivity and gaming. Will get a second to stack it up.

Been close to 2 months since I bought and Registered the monitor and every time you start it or wake it from sleep or go into a game or anything a screen pops up to remind you to register it. Sadly I bought 2.

I love games on this monitor, Everything looks bright and clear.

Amazing quality, no issues so far! It's really good for both work and gaming.

Ive been using this monitor for about 2 weeks now and can firmly say i will have it for life

Amazing monitor. I had to buy a new table to put it on!

Nice and wide if you’re a teen but for an adult it’s not the best so I returned it. Super wide but the height is the problem being 14 inches Makes you squint just to get a good glimpse but prob alright if just using it to game
