Insane must buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The expectations I had before purchasing this monitor were already high. I had sifted through so many options, each having their own pro’s and con’s. This monitor ended up being the best value for spec. Getting it home and plugging it in was an amazing experience. The colors are incredible. The input options are awesome, Ultra wide has been a fun thing to play around with gaming wise. I thought I would be sad it wasn’t 4K but it has exceeded all expectations.

Don’t go for the Samsung..
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not even a year in and I’m seeing burn in bars from 16:9 content. Also Samsung and their smart tv experience is absolutely awful. All the nonsense shoved down your throat, all the loading and waiting for the network to update whatever ads are showing on the homescreen just so you can switch inputs from pc to hdmi. Basic offline tv features like picture by picture arbitrarily locked until you sign up for a Samsung account and you HAVE to be online. Also, it doesn’t work well with the xbox for whatever reason, the compatibility is pretty basic. Never again buying a Samsung. Only reason I am giving it more than one star is because for a short time, I was happy with the picture quality and pc gaming features, but that’s the ONLY thing it had going for it.

Non-stop crashes & issues on a M2 Macbook Pro.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this monitor, but it's so unreliable and spammy. When it works, it looks fantastic... the QD-OLED panel offers amazing picture quality for games and movies, and acceptable text clarity (not as good as normal LCD, and has noticeable color fringing around the edges of characters, but not too distracting overall). The 5120 * 1440 resolution is fantastic for both gaming and office work, giving you a ultrawide field of view in shooters and comfortably allowing 3 browser windows side-by-side. But using this with a M2 Max Macbook Pro, I've experienced constant issues that happen every few hours or more. The worst of them is an occasional kernel panic that crashes the entire computer and forces a reboot; the resulting error message (DCPEXT1 PANIC) indicates a problem with the display co-processor of Apple Silicon chips. This happens with a USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable connected through a Thunderbolt 4 hub, that same cable directly connected to the computer, or a USB-C to Display 2.1 cable connected directly to the computer. No combination of cable and settings I tried resulted in a stable, crash-free configuration, despite several multi-hour days of testing and reconfiguration. Over HDMI, it's even worse. HDMI can't sustain the full bandwidth of this resolution at 240 Hz, so you have to lower the refresh rate. A monitor bug results in a permanent bright green line across the bottom of the screen when HDMI is connected (it's not there in any menu screens, only when you're showing the computer image). That's definitely going to cause burn-in, not to mention it's distracting all the time. With a lower-bandwidth cable (like older HDMI or DP 1.4), other problems occur too: Strange color banding with gradients, VRR (variable refresh rate) glitches and crashes, display image corruption resulting in hyper-flickering green blocks jumping across the screen, and other myriad problems. Probably these are display issues with DisplayPort over USB-C, possibly related to Apple Silicon computers. And Thunderbolt displays were never very reliable to begin with. With a near-4k resolution like this has, combined with a 240 Hz max refresh, the problems only compound and the crashes and glitches are too frequent. Unfortunately, if you're stuck on an Apple laptop like I am, there is no other way around these issues. Separate from the hardware and display issues, though, the monitor itself has an incredibly user-hostile user interface. Samsung stupidly jammed their obnoxious smart TV interface into this monitor, and it constantly spams you with annoying beeps, whines, pop-up notifications, and ads. Every time you wake the monitor, it shows you a useless "game bar" that obscures the lower half of the screen for a good 10-15 seconds (over the area you'd normally use to type in your computer password). The only way to disable this is to buy a third-party OEM service remote from eBay in order to enter a secret service menu and turn it off that way, or use an open-source script can do the same with a Raspberry Pi and an IR blaster. It's incredibly stupid and annoying. The rest of the monitor UI is very slow, with every menu click taking several seconds to register and redraw, all while you're spammed with inane recommendations and ads for the latest TV show of some sort. You cannot update the firmware without creating a Samsung account and logging in, which force-enables all of these recommendations and ads. The underlying QD-OLED panel is fantastic, but the monitor packaging and software around it is terrible. This is my first and probably last Samsung product. It is enshittified user-hostile design. If the reliability problems with a Mac could be fixed, I'd consider keeping it only because the picture quality is so good, and the UI issues can be worked around with a service remote. But altogether, I'm very disappointed, frustrated, and annoyed by this product and this company.

Just simply amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor in my honest opinion is the jack of all trades and does what every monitor can do but better. I prefer it over multiple monitors and for immersive gaming. The experience you receive with quality of the OLED panel is tremendous. It’s truly something unique. If you want the best of the best, look no further.

Samsung oled g9
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really amazing the colors the quality and the response of this monitor is amazing. The clarity is second to none my only issue that I can think of is there is no easy way to switch inputs on the controller since it’s a smart monitor it makes you go to the home page to change inputs which is so lame. The user interface could be much better as well.

Wish it had VGA port
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the monitor. I wish the following: A user's manual. I am using this for work and am having trouble toggling to my work space. Not very user friendly. Also, it has no VGA port and one of my main software products is not working correctly. Looking into returning it for a monitor that has VGA.

Love It!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Made the jump from two 2k monitors to a 4k ultrawide and havent looked back. The only downside is that i was used to having two monitors, so getting back to one is a bit of an adjustment. You’re going to need a beefy PC to run this thing because 4k with cranked settings is power hungry. With that being said, the image is absolutely incredible. I have had video games that make me question if im watching movies.

Odyssey G9 49
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.wonderful screen quality for gamers and anyone watching T V. It didn't fit for my computer monitor use, but it's better for gamers/tv watchers. It was easy to put together and once we've stated using it, the navigation was simple. We'll wait to see if they will make one specially for computers.
