Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off, the image quality of this monitor is amazing and what you would expect from an OLED monitor. The colors are bright and clear, the image very sharp, and HDR looks great. There are perfect blacks and contrast. This probably has the best image quality of any monitor I have used. The panel width is great for both keeping multiple applications open as well as being able to play a lot of games in full widescreen, giving you a much bigger viewable area. I do wish it had a vertical height equal to that of a 32” monitor but I suppose keeping the same aspect ratio might make the monitor unreasonably wide. Using a single monitor with this width allows you to play FPS and other games which you could not do on a dual monitor setup so this is a must have for gaming. There are built-in speakers, but they sound rather tinny, as is the case with most monitors so for good sound, external speakers are necessary. The inputs are typical such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C. There is the ability to add your favorite streaming services to it. Again, they look just as great in image quality as your PC. That said, I think in most cases you can just stream to it using your PC so I’m not sure I see the advantage here, but the feature exists if you need it. It comes with a rechargeable remote that includes well laid out buttons for all the features you would need including settings, input selection, volume, and all things streaming. It is the perfect remote for this. During setup, you are required to do a ton of steps and that includes creating a Samsung account or using an existing account. You cannot use the monitor without this even if all you want to do is connect a computer to it. Between all the initial setup and updating the firmware which you are required to do, it took over an hour from the time I first powered on the monitor to the time I could use it as a computer monitor. If this is all you want to do with it, you should not be required to do all of this set up work including creating a Samsung account. There are a couple of problems that may or may not be showstoppers depending on your needs. I am running the latest firmware as well. For me, the Wi-Fi can’t remember a connection after it goes into standby. What this means is that every time I turn on the monitor, I must manually connect to the WI-FI again, and also reenter the password which is an unreasonable pain. If you are just using this as a computer monitor, this probably doesn’t matter but as soon as you want to use the streaming services or anything requiring the Internet, you have to deal with this, and it just isn’t worth it. The other problem is with playing games with a lot of motion such as FPS games. I noticed the image does not work as smoothly as it should and there is more ghosting than I would expect, and more than with my previous monitor. I’m playing on a high-end computer with a top-of-the-line GPU, and even with the monitor set to gaming mode, I am still seeing this. Don’t know why and perhaps there is another setting somewhere to help with this that I didn’t find. Overall great monitor for all the reasons mentioned above. I did have to remove a star because of the problems I encountered but I can definitely recommend it assuming the issues mentioned don’t impact what you are using the monitor for or if you don’t even encounter them.

I've had this monitor for 4 months now and feel I have a decent idea of how it is overall. I use this alongside a 32" LG Ultragear so as not to leave the OLED on all the time. There is a slight flickering issue which usually resolves itself and limited display resolutions available outside the native. When using extended displays this monitor does NOT like fullscreen apps cutting out and requiring to unplug/replug display port cables often to get it to be recognized again. Over time it has also shifted its pixels so its a good ~10-20 pixels off the side of my screen cutting off the img, no option appears to be available to re-center the img on the OLED panel. One final note or personal gripe; as part of preventing burn-in the monitor has a repair mode that pops up in a solid box covering ~1/3 the middle of the screen every 4 hours or so, if this pops up at the wrong time it is very inconvenient. Accepting sees the monitor turn itself off for ~10 min before coming back on and becoming usable again. Declining risks screen burn-in. I could not find an option in the menus to manually do this for example, before a long raid session so opt to turn the monitor off for 10-15m before known long-use. But thats just the bad stuff. The picture on this is phenomenal and with the right applications, scaling widescreen video to it is great. Most games do not support the 32:9 resolution but when they do its the most immersive experience i've had gaming. The contrast eliminates the need for "game modes" such as FPS which maxes brightness to increase visibility, OLED shows everything clear no matter how light or dark the setting. Unless you have a specific use-case for this I suggest sticking with a normal 16:9 or ultrawide 21:9 OLED monitor. I could not see myself going back to an LED/LCD screen after experiencing OLED gaming but I dont think I would ever buy a 32:9 aspect ratio monitor again.

Awesome display, great refresh rate. This monitor really leveled up my setup. The high res and high refresh rate also made things much more comfortable to view for me.

I had to return this monitor within 30 minutes of install. First thing is the software on it is their tv software. It’s great for when you buy a tv but has no place on a monitor. You have no need for streaming services on a monitor. Sure you could argue that consoles might need it but you’re not buying this monitor if you have a console because 99% of console games can’t take advantage of the screen resolution. If you find yourself wanting to stream you probably have a real tv. So the tv software is useless and that is what caused my issues! I set it up everything plugged in and it didn’t detect my computer. This was highly annoying, you spent 1000+ on something that should be plug and play. After 20 minutes of messing with setting my pc finally showed up! It was an amazing experience! Colors popped the screen was smooth a ton of real estate. Just amazing! Mine you I’m 30 or so minutes of my whole experience and thinking, ok that was annoying but I don’t have to deal with it again and this is awesome. Too bad it was short lived. 7 minutes into a game the screen just went black… computer still on, game still going, no screen. Turning it off and on didn’t work restarting the computer didn’t work, nothing. Item was returned within 2 hours. Went with an LG that isn’t 100% as pretty as this but I’m ok with that. I was able to plug my pc into it and it actually worked without the hassle. I love my Samsung tv but I don’t believe I’ll ever buy another monitor from them. Which is a shame because my best friend has an older QDLED g9 that doesn’t have the tv crap software and he’s had 0 issues and loves it

Love this monitor. I always wanted a large curved monitor, but it does take some getting used to. The quality seems to be excellent. I had this monitor for about a year and have not had any problems with it. I do want to mention that because of its large size Best Buy does not ship it with any of the conventional shipping services such as UPS, FedEx, or Postal Service. It was shipped to my house by truck.

This replaced my original Odyssey G9, and all the minor issues I experienced there have been corrected and then some! Someone at Samsung was definitely listening. The obvious...the picture. Beautiful imagery, crisp colors, amazing blacks, and no bleeding. I have always been a late believer to OLED, but once you see it in action, it is undeniable. I have a GeForce graphics card, and like the original G9, G-Sync works just fine. Extremely smooth and no tearing. Sorely lacking from my original G9 was speakers. Now, I understand that most (including myself) will opt to use a headset when gaming so speakers aren't a necessity, but switching from port to port and having no audio to fall back on, can be a nuisance. There are two speakers in this model, and they are appreciated. They won't be banging any doors down, but they provide an adequate listening experience. Extra ports are also readily available including the missed USB-C from the original G9. Everything you need to get the screen and the peripherals moving as ap is here. The last notable is the UI. I also use the Odyssey Ark and a 32' TV/monitor. Both have the Samsung UI, which I have gone to grow fond. And in both of those sets, the first few days were rocky, almost like a configuring period was taking place. After a day or two, we were smooth sailing. I'm experiencing some slowdown in the OLED, but I'm hoping it's the same as the other two. Either way, it is a welcome addition. There is a hefty price tag attached to this monitor, but with all the added features and OLED screen, it's worth the cost of admission, especially since the original G9 was similarly priced upon launch. This is a superior monitor in every way, and I'll be at a toss up picking with monitor (OLED vs. Ark) I'll be frequenting the most.

I love this monitor. It does have a few issues when switching out of applications and I had to buy a better diplsplay port cable to stop black screen issues. But once I figured that out it has been golden

Okay so the refresh rate at 240hz is just so obvious and impressive! plus the 1ms response time Whether I'm exploring or engaged, the monitor keeps up with every move. G-Sync also awesome. Can't wait to continue exploring on this amazing monitor!! Oh and no motion blur or input lag --just a few things in the short time owning!

Decided to upgrade from the Odyssey G9. Picture quality is a bit more vibrant. The monitor itself is a lot lighter in wieght! Also much thinner so it looks great on my desk. Also, the legs/stand take up far less real estate on my desk which is nice. I havent messed around with the hub yet but it seems like a Cool feature as it comes with a remote.

I recently purchased the Samsung Odyssey G9, and it did not disappoint. As a long-time Samsung monitor user, I had been using dual 27-inch monitors since 2011. Wanting a unique 49-inch OLED screen, I chose the Samsung Odyssey G9 for its impressive quality. I highly recommend it to everyone. Being both a Mac and PC user, I find the transition between devices smooth and flawless.

If you can afford this, this is arguably the best monitor to date. Once you lay your eyes on 49 inches of OLED goodness, you cannot go back. This monitor has the brains of a Samsung Smart TV and is very user friendly. 10/10

I have always loved OLED TVs and have been waiting until a gaming monitor with OLED would meet my expectations and oh-wow-ee this is near perfect. It took me a bit to make sure windows 11 HDR looked perfect but once I did it made my original odyssey g9 go bye-bye. The only downside would be it cant get as bright as other displays but that is a tradeoff completely worth it for me.

Excellent monitor. Very sharp and is an upgrade from G9 49in LED. Its lighter, and easier to plug cables into the monitor. To use 240hz yiu need DP 2.1 from a compatible video card. Some games still dont use the full screen either but since i bought this at 1099.99 though during early black friday. It was well worth the purchase.

Super nice monitor 49 inches from corner to corner nice super wide monitor. I love it super queer superfast. This is definitely a super monitor. This is a must have.

I have officially ascended, as they would now say. This monitor is absolutely glorious. I am running it on a mac studio m1 and m2 and a m1 macbook pro. All work perfectly using a scaled resolution and using the display port on my CalDigit TB3 dock.

Don't walk, RUN away from this monitor. Don't get me wrong, the display itself is fantastic. I was blown away. What started to sour the experience was the bloatware TV features they built into this COMPUTER MONITOR. It kept wanting me to watch Samsung live TV, the button had dedicated netflix buttons and others, and the OS operating all of this was slow and made it difficult to switch between computers/display as I had to navigate menus 2-3 layers deep when on other monitors its a simple click of a button. But the REAL issue here is their support. My monitor died after 10 months. Just one day wouldn't turn on. Contacted support, no problem, we'll exchange it. They let me know it could take a max of 24 days to arrange the final delivery, but usually its within 10 days. Alright, fine. That was 35 days ago. I have contacted them several times asking the status (because I get NO UPDATES from them). Each time they go "oh there was an issue, we will investigate and call you back in 24-48 hours", and guess what they NEVER do? My most recent call with them they said the trucking company will received the monitor tomorrow. I pointed out last week when I called that I was told the trucking company had received it over a week ago and it was their fault for not contacting me. They swore up and down, hey the last agent was wrong, they didn't know what they were doing, trust us bro they'll get it tomorrow and then within SEVEN days call me to schedule a delivery which could be another 2 weeks then past that. I decided I wanted a refund instead and after them insisting it would be quicker to get the exchange and me explaining I can't take them at their word, They notified me I should have a refund in approximately 14 days going off their high estimates. I let them know a few years ago I bought a Dell monitor and ran into an issue and asked them to guess how long the turn around time was. They guessed 2 weeks, maybe 1. I revealed to them from the moment of opening the support ticket it took them 3 days to have a new monitor on my doorstep. I let them know THATS service. Its been so long now that I had to buy another monitor, so I bought an alienware, as my support experience was so great with dell (even though in general I dislike dell and their products). Oh, and the warranty on that Alienware is 3 years as opposed to this monitors 1. TLDR: Great monitor, but the WORST support you will ever encounter. I am never buying another Samsung product.

I love it if you are looking to have fun gaming this is the green you want

Works great, no issues so far at all and picture looks amazing.
