I'll probably never go back to a non-OLED screen again. I love the modest curve and picture quality is pretty amazing. Updated from a 34" and don't regret it for a second. The only issue I'm having (and many others reporting online) is an occasional signal loss. The screen goes blank and it says it's lost the input signal and you have to unplug and re-plug the cable. Happens maybe once per day, twice on a bad day. Have not yet found a fix.

The 49" curved screen with Dual QHD resolution provides a wide and detailed view, making it easier to multitask and see all the details clearly with a lightning-fast response time and a flickerless refresh rate, this monitor ensures smooth and quick reactions, which is beneficial for both work and entertainment. The Display HDR True Black 400 feature allows you to see true black and dark colors without pixel light bleed, enhancing color and depth expression. It features a slim metal design with a height-adjustable stand, Core Sync, and Core Lighting+ to elevate your setup and provide comfort during long working hours.
The Samsung Smart Monitor has transformed my home office experience. It supports Microsoft Office 365, allowing you to access documents and other programs easily. It offers OTT services like Netflix and Disney Plus and features an AI-based Adaptive Picture function for the best possible picture quality, even in dark lighting conditions. The monitor includes an eye comfort display and an Eye Saver Mode to reduce blue light emissions and prevent eye fatigue. These features make the Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 versatile and high-performing monitor suitable for various tasks in your home office.

Awesome monitor that looks beautiful but is bogged down by bloatware. I cannot understate how slow and annoying this ui is on the smart tv features. It started off snappy but after just a mont or 2 I noticed a significant slowdown. Also all the Samsung bloatware is awful. The display itself is beautiful tho very responsive and fast just wish the smart features weren’t so horrible.

The Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 is a game-changer for my software development and design work. The ultra-wide curved OLED screen gives me massive screen real estate for multitasking, coding, and design tools—everything looks crisp and vibrant. Super smooth performance with 240Hz and near-instant response time. Stylish, fast, and perfect for deep focus.

Beautiful image quality for Architectural Design

Incredibly good image. Running on an HP Z2G4 Mini-Workstation with NVIDIA Quadro P620 Graphics card that supports up to (4) 5120 x 1440 monitors. Am running Windows 11 and using MS365 Suite, BlueBeam Revu, AutoCAD, Revit. Must run at 60hz refresh. Gets flickering problems at 120 or higher.
ONly complaint is that setup for everything except standard PC use is well documented, but setup for PC use is poorly documented. Took many hours to finally get it to behave, and then it stunned me with incredible image quality for professional architectural 3D modeling.

Great Picture, But Flawed Features

The Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 has fantastic picture quality, and the size is perfect for playing simulator games. However, the smart TV features are a waste. It can't do anything that I can't already do on my PC, so I find no use for it being a "smart" monitor. Additionally, it disconnects itself from the PC, causing my computer to configure my secondary monitor as the primary monitor every time it goes to sleep. This is really annoying. Overall, it's a good monitor but is flawed by implementing features that are not useful for a gaming monitor.

Immersive Experience with the Samsung Odyssey 49-Inch Monitor**
I recently purchased the Samsung Odyssey 49-inch monitor, and I must say, it has completely transformed my computing experience. Here are some highlights that stand out:
**Stunning Display Quality:** The QLED technology delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making everything from gaming to movie-watching a visual treat. The 5120x1440 resolution provides a level of detail that is simply unmatched.
**Immersive Curved Design:** The 1800R curvature wraps around my field of vision, creating an immersive experience that pulls you into the action. Whether I'm gaming or working on multiple tasks, the curvature enhances my focus and reduces eye strain.
**Smooth Performance:** With a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, the monitor handles fast-paced gaming beautifully. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in motion blur, making it perfect for competitive gaming.

I decided to upgrade from my Odyssey G9 to the Odyssey OLED G9 and it was worth every penny. Due to the slick OLED panel, it seems like I am playing games at a higher resolution than 1440p. The refresh rate and the true blacks make gaming very immersive. Combine that with it's 49inch screen and you are sucked into the game. I prefer the less aggressive curve of this model compared to my older model so far as well. Amazing monitor.

Life changing display quality with compromises

This is an amazing monitor, beautiful OLED display, and definitely serves the purpose of a Dual 1440p display, but to make the most of it you will need to get used to playing games in Windowed mode if you want to multi-task, because the displays multi-mode reduces each "half" to 120hz, and turns off VRR, which might be an acceptable trade off for some, but not for me. The other issue is if you use the full capacity of the display, you will need to accept that many games do not support 32:9 ratio resolutions, which the 240hz "gaming" mode is locked to, thus why I say you may need to get used to window mode, this is also an 1800 curve, which is close enough to a flat screen to make the curve non-existent, so if you are looking for more immersion that comes from a curved display, this will not serve that purpose for you. With all this in mind, the OLED is amazing, the colors pop like nothing else, and you will not want to go back to LED after this, that said, unless you like the idea of multi-tasking with windows, or can accept the compromises of the displays multi-mode, or you want to play console, use a multimedia device along with hooking up a PC and multi-mode that way, you may be better off buying two displays if possible.

This monitor is fantastic, beautiful display, simple UI, the monitor itself, gets a 5 star from me.
The reason I deducted a star is because widescreen just isn’t fully integrated into tech culture yet, so decent support is scarce.
Many devices do not support the widescreen form factor and cannot fully utilize the amazing capabilities of the monitor.

This monitor is great. I saw a lot of mixed reviews regarding the Odyssey OLED G9 - some good, some REALLY not good. Most of the negative reviews were in regards to the monitor not working with their PC setups, not connecting properly, or the monitor simply failing on them and breaking.
The setup is certainly a bit tedious and it does require you to sit through some built-in updates, but it's such a minor inconvenience. It really didn't take anything away from the overall experience of getting to use this monitor.
I am one month into use with this monitor and I've experienced no problems whatsoever. I was intending to use this monitor with my secondary setup, but after having used it each day, it has quickly become my primary gaming monitor. Surely every product from the factory has a chance of being faulty, but so far, mine has worked perfectly (fingers crossed).
Amazing colors, smooth frames, and super fast response times, which are ideal for the games I play. I highly recommend this monitor, particularly when it's on sale.

I am not a professional gamer. I bough this product primarily for work, and to game at my leisure. If you need two or three regular-sized monitors for work, you should seriously consider getting this monitor. Of course, you will need a docking station if you use a laptop. But once you’re connected, the rest is a joy.
Since I need to open up several applications for my work, my workflow is better, since I don’t have to constant minimize an app to see another.
The display is excellent, changing with ambient lighting to appease the eye.
At 120 Hertz refresh rate, whatever you do seems like an extension of your fingers, no delay at all between input and output. The gamers out there would love this!
If there’s anything I’d want improved, it would be to add more HDMI/Display Ports. For a monitor that size, it should have more than one HDMI port.

This monitor is absolutely amazing I can’t imagine going back to a non ultra wide or non OLED monitor. I use this monitor for work, replacing my old 3 monitor set up was a game changer. Then after work I connect it to my gaming rig and the picture is jaw dropping. I would recommend this monitor to anyone looking to upgrade for work or gaming.

Absolute stunning display but 32:9

I wanted to 5-star love this thing so bad. Off the bat, it's probably the most beautiful OLED monitor I've ever seen. Huge 240Hz (and I enjoyed every Hz). I played many games with great success; however, I don't play games 24/7. I've got stuff to do too, which requires regular screen behavior. Unfortunately, I don't get that behavior on a 32:9 screen. Its just too danged narrow for screens full of vertical spreadsheets. Although it looks good doing it, its not there. I tried every trick in the book to have this be the ultimate monitor, but no. I've since returned it in favor of a 16:9 55" OLED. If all you do is Game 24/7, go for it. If you do anything else, I don't recommend this monitor.

This monitor has a stunning display, and gaming on it is sublime. As many have reported, when used for productivity tasks, text is not ideal, but acceptable. After a few days, I was fine with using the monitor for my remote work duties. The OS greatly simplifies software updates, and it was nice to use Samsung SmartThings app to manage the monitor & provide a phone-based remote. The monitor menu is a bit sluggish, but generally acceptable. Regarding stability, I've encountered a few issues. Sometimes waking from sleep is problematic, with the monitor failing to detect the input display signal. Also, switching to Eye Saver Mode generally results in a weird screen-flickering issue. I've got an Nvida GPU, & I've been able to tame this flickering issue by switching to 10-bit color mode via the Nvida Control Panel.
In general, I'm satisfied with this purchase, and I'm hopeful that future firmware updates shall provide performance & stability improvements.

After much anticipation, I finally got my hands on the Samsung Odyssey G9 49-inch monitor from Best Buy, and it has absolutely transformed my setup. First off, the size is breathtaking — the ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio feels like having two 27-inch monitors side by side, but without the distracting bezels. Whether I’m working, gaming, or even just browsing, the immersion is unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
The 1000R curvature pulls you right into the content, making games and movies incredibly engaging. Speaking of games, with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, everything feels silky smooth — it’s a dream for fast-paced shooters and racing games. Plus, the monitor supports both G-Sync and FreeSync, eliminating screen tearing completely.
The color reproduction and brightness are outstanding too. HDR really pops on this panel, making scenes in games and videos look vivid and lifelike. Setup was straightforward, and Best Buy had it ready for pickup on time, with no issues.
The only minor downside is that you’ll need a lot of desk space to accommodate it, and you’ll want a powerful GPU to really take advantage of everything this monitor offers. But if you’re prepared for that, the Odyssey G9 is 100% worth it.
Final Verdict: 5/5 Stars.
If you’re looking for a next-level monitor for gaming, content creation, or multitasking, the Odyssey G9 is an absolute beast. Highly recommended!

This is my first Ultrawide monitor, and I have to say, Samsung has a gorgeous product. The colors are crisp, and the blacks are very dark on this monitor. It's packed with features like the gaming center and the Home navigation, which allows you to log into streaming services. It was super easy to set up and latching the stand into the monitor was a snap. I would 100% recommend this to anyone thinking about getting into Ultrawide monitors. I use this for work and gaming and it definitely is worth every penny.

This monitor is a game-changer! The 49" curved OLED display is stunning—deep blacks, vibrant colors, and buttery-smooth gameplay thanks to the 240Hz refresh rate. G-Sync works flawlessly, and the built-in smart features are a nice bonus. It's pricey, but absolutely worth it for immersive gaming. Highly recommend!

Interesting screen. Very big, though too long. Tried to play WoW though gave up as text was too big. The image was vertically squished and it wasn’t pleasing to look at. Wow doesn’t seem built for 32:9 aspect ratios. 21:9 is way better (34”).
I also thought split screen work would be good, but I’d rather two 34” ultra wides side by side. It’s not enough screen real estate even with 49”.
