Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

I have had this ultrawide monitor for almost a year n half now and i have zero complaints. If you decide to get this one the picture quality and performance is amazing heat is minimal, only recommendation I can give is to have a top tier Pc. If you have a lower performance computer run games or applications in windowed mode there is various configurations you can do in your computer to work around the requirments for this monitor.

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.

Stunning display with vibrant colors and deep contrast. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9’s 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response make gameplay incredibly smooth. Perfect for competitive gaming and immersive visuals.

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.

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.

The display is perfection. Set up is pretty much Plug and Play. I use this monitor for work so my review is based on using office applications. I’m using it with a MacBook Pro and I can watch TV on it. I’ve never tried gaming on it but my computer is really not a gaming computer so I really wouldn’t use it for that. I can’t find any downsides to this monitor. If you’re thinking about it just get it it’s worth it. !

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.

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 was initially hesitant given how middling the CHG90 was (what I had before this G9 OLED). Along with the usual fears of OLED burn in given this is a PC monitor and would be used as such. Not just gaming. But after a few months of usage, I'm still floored every time I use it. The PPI, colors, clarity, response, refresh, contrast are all amazing. However like all OLEDS, it suffers in total peak brightness (though being a Gen 2 QD panel does help). In HDR it produces amazing contrast, and can even hit 1000 nits in 2% windows for some amazing highlights. But overall it's just a 400 nit panel. Not the worst (better than an HDR 400 LCD), but not HDR1000+ mini LED amazing either. Using in a light controlled room is recommended for optimal usage. The added Tizen smart UI is a bit wonky however, and I wish I had opted for the version without it. I don't ever see myself using a single app from it, ever. No need for it to be on a gaming monitor. Overall, this has been the best monitor I've owned. 5120x1440p 240Hz is perfect, having it be OLED is a cherry topper.

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.

Having 0.03 GTG removes almost all motion blur and the OLED's contrast can't be beat. Seeing a pure black background with a white logo or text is indescribable. I have the first version of these, LED 49 and this one blows it out of the water in terms of picture quality. The only thing i miss is the 1000 curvature. That aspect really draws you in but the difference in picture quality overrides this flaw to the point of "doesn't matter." Was going to get the new psuedo 8k one at 53." But once i read the reviews of it, compared to this OLED version's almost nonexistent motion blur, you will still see black-grey and not black right next to lit LEDs, and the fact that the only card that can push those many pixels does not support DP 2.1 and hence stuck at 120hz, figure ill wait for the pseudo 8k OLED version with less of a curve to come out. And folks I dont think that the DP version issue on Nvidia cards can be fixed with a software update. All i have read seems to indicate that is it a harware design issue as well. AMD has DP2.1 cards, but good luck pushing close to 8k pixesl at above 30 frames with their top of the line.

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!

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”.

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.

This is the best monitor I’ve ever owned. The color quality and black depth from oled on a screen that wraps my fov is insane. Did I spend over a grand on a monitor yes. Is that a waste of money to most? Yes. Do I regret it? Not a chance. The 240hz is also great to have since I’ve been used to 144hz. You might run into some issues with certain games but most modern games worked for me so far. Avoid this if you only have a console as the screen will be locked on a 27inch window.

This monitor renewed my lease on gaming. Truly immersive and beautiful picture. Felt no buyers remorse with this purchase. 100% worth it and grabbed it on sale!

This monitor is great for PC gaming and media consumption, but it falls short as an everyday monitor for work or console gaming. The compatibility with the 32:9 ratio is lacking, making it difficult to fully utilize the screen space. The text quality is not the best, so switching to a 16:9 ratio provides better pixel quality. Console gaming is also affected by the lack of support for the 32:9 ratio, limiting its full potential. The backlight brightness is disappointing, but the build quality is excellent with its aluminum frame. Considering the high price, I would recommend looking into other monitors below $1200 for a more reasonable option.

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!
