Broken display port, over-engineered software
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display port connection isn't very good. The screen goes black very often (every 10 min or so) and then i have to wiggle the cable to get the picture to come back on. Also the smart tv software is quite annoying. I wish it was more of a traditional monitor. The monitor is beautiful otherwise.

Not overly impressed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still unsure about this monitor...mixed feelings. Not overly thrilled with several aspects of it. I've struggled to get the colors right to match my other monitors. The Auto dimming is a pain and I don't like it at all. Whites go to warm white but finally was able to work around that. The auto standby time should be extended as the monitor goes to seep when rebooting. There are several other issues that I won't get into within this review. FIRMWARE needs work.

Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the G95SC monitor back in june. I found that it is an absolute nightmare to use on an apple computer, out of the box. The compatibility between sonoma and this monitor is terrible, it causes regular kernal panics with the cpu. I could blame apple, but my backup monitor and TV dont have this issue and then i began to use it as a gaming monitor… after 2 months of use, There is a routine i have to follow to make sure that the monitor recognizes the PC, otherwise i have to shut everything down and run the process again. Also, it no longer recognizes me mac. Sadly; its a beautiful monitor, but it has some SERIOUS compatibility issues. I also cant stand the smart tech built into it. Rather it just be a bare-bones monitor that simply turns on and off and switches inputs, instead of samsung constantly asking me to log into an account and use their services. Last time i invest into samsung electronics.

Broke in 10 days
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to love this monitor. Love the OLED blacks and the ultrawide. I got some nasty red fringing on the bottom of text. After 10 days of use I got a number of bands visible in the screen running vertically in the left middle of the screen. I returned it and went with another manufacturer. Frankly elsewhere on the web people have warned they have manufacturing issues with this panel which I ignored and found out they were not made up. Also the GUI is a giant pain in the butt. Its more like a Samsung TV than a computer monitor. Lastly it would not display my BIOS screen at all. Had to hook up another monitor to reassign boot disk settings. DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR!

I love this monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought the monitor for 2 weeks now. But so far best monitor I have ever owned and worth the price. I mostly have used it for work so a bit of an overkill to be honest but will follow up with an later update after a couple of months.

Go big or go home!

Super easy to use and it comes with some pretty awesome features! The accent lighting on the back and slick design makes it all! If you’re thinking about it, get it! You won’t regret it!

Horrible!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m an avid samsung hater so i may be a little biased but my hatred comes from experience. I’ve owned multiple samsung products and they just have this way of making garbage seen like a premium product. This monitor is no exception. I was torn between the Odessy G9 and the LG ultragear 45”. I went into best buy so i could see them for myself and i was enamored by both of them. The displays were both beautiful but given the samsung’s ultra wide glossy display, and the fact that it was $600 cheaper than the LG at the time, i went against my gut and purchased the Odessy. This was difficult considering I own multiple LG Oled TVs but ultimately i was swayed by the cheaper price. When i got this thing home and opened it, nothing but problems followed. The PIP mode is absolutely horrendous. Signal loss all the time- considering i only use VESA certified display port and HDMI cables, I could confidently say it was this piece of junk monitor. The unreliable screen would constantly disconnect, causing my other monitor to cut in and out, due to the display settings on my computer trying to compensate for the lost signal. I tried everything to fix it and get it to work, spent hours, only to finally say no more and return it. I brought it back to best buy and to my luck, the 45” ultra gear went on sale. I immediately exchanged this piece if junk for it and my issues all magically disappeared. Save yourself the time and frustration and avoid this monitor.

Didnt work and Best Buy didn't help.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got a defective monitor that wouldn't switch to any inputs when connected and when I wanted to exchange it for the same exact one they couldn't do it because I used a promotional coupon. All they could do is refund what I paid and I lost my $400 off coupon I had for a Samsung product. Terrible experience.

Too much happening at the same time
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the quality of the screen was amazing with the OLED. The monitor was not usable due to the gaming mode not working properly with the PC. Gaming mode being the only way to achieve 240hz. It would constantly change my computer graphic settings and then go black screen, rendering it useless and having to shut down. When not using the gaming mode, the monitor would have random flicker and black screens when doing productivity work and gaming on it. The monitor also being a smart tv was way too much and unnecessary.

Simply beautiful
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I’ve had this monitor for over a month and I love it , it’s simply beautiful to look at and doesn’t fatigue the eyes for extended periods of use, currently have my 14in MacBook Pro m1 hooked up to it and it works great

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned many monitors in my years. I was skeptical about super ultra wide. I am completely blown away. Going back and playing games i have already beaten, as it adds so much immersion.

Designers need a new job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful monitor overall and great graphics quality. However, it's the 2020's and most people using a monitor like this use it for multiple displays/split screen. Whoever on the design team decided it would be a good idea to remove the second displayport input needs to be fired. How is it that the older model has two DP's for multiple display and the newer one doesn't? Additionally, MOST if not ALL custom PC towers have the display on the LEFT side of the tower. WHY are the DP and HDMI on the left side of the monitor, in other words furthest from where your tower would be? Absolute design flaws and I expect far better from Samsung.

Awesome monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good, took a little bit of tinkering to get the virtual dual monitor function figured out, no actual instructions on how to get it to work, but besides that this monitor has been awesome so far.
