    Why is something simple so complicated?

    Wow, what a case of mixed feelings. Purchased as a door buster for $900 to a company my Strix scar 18 5090. After about a week and alittle less then a dozen hdmi/display port /type c/connection variants I ended up returning it for the LG. Not to Mention the hours of YouTube / trial and error connection variations ive tried. Problems include: (1) absolutely inconsistent connection display / hdmi etc (2) Ridiculously slow and clunky interface. (3) SAMSUNG software makes it feel like going through 4 doors in a maze before you can click the simple. PC Input. (4) the light curvature R and size makes uncomfortable to use. Sitting about 7-10 feet away still Requires turning of your neck. (5) speakers are purely asthetic & decoration. (6) Connectivity with my Galxy 25U & S9 Ultra tab was so odd and complicated to get working I ended up ignoring it. (7) Packaging really feels cheap and lack of enough cables provided. Good points: (1) it's pretty. (2) Connectivity with Samsung ecosystem

    Beautiful display with tons of space to use for multiple screens at one time. The narrow aspect ratio is not the best but definitely recommend

    "Not so smart gaming monitor" or is it the user?

    My first impression of this monitor was awesome. Very good build quality and of course the Samsung brand name. My first 49" Ultra Wide monitor was an LG with the same performance specs 240hz etc etc but a non Oled. Almost 2 yrs with that one and no issues. Once i unboxed and set up the this monitor to my computer it was undoubtedly a beautiful picture. Here's where things went south concerning other features. This monitor has a smart hub which enables it to be a TV. I set up monitor on wifi and logged into my Samsung account at which time monitor did a firmware update about the same time. I read some reviews about this monitor and some were saying they were having issues with random screen timeouts and screen going black and having to power back on with the remote. I was hoping i wasn't part of that lottery pool. Well as fate would have it I also started experiencing this phenomenon as well. I proceeded into windows settings to check power options and all was normal, I set it to Game mode immediately in the monitors settings. Set monitor not to go to sleep in its own GUI. I should also note I have 3 other Samsung TV's in my home. After a few power off situations i realized my main TV remotes were able to power down my gaming monitor when they were shut off. This has happened many times and continues to do so. The other thing i had to change was to set computer to rest/sleep mode when PC shuts down otherwise you must use the remote to power back on every time you boot PC. So at the end of all my internet queries about this monitor and work around solutions not working i had an idea to log out of my Samsung account on the monitor and take the monitor off of my WIFI and turn off as many smart features as i could. (I should mention i did try to watch TV on it with the Pre loaded apps and live TV etc but being an Ultra wide it was not a good viewing experience being that monitor is 32:9 ratio). Now back to some success after these changes and monitor doesn't randomly shut off on its own. The only thing it continues to do that is annoying is that the monitors audio if muted will float around on the left side of the screen if you keep it muted, it must be on 0 or 1 so the muted speaker doesn't float around on you. On the other issue of any Samsung TV near by and using the remote on it will sometimes raise the volume on the monitor if your not careful and of course will power it down as well. I am not happy about these existing or remaining issues but dealing with it hoping for a firmware update in the future to solve these things. I haven't spent much time with HDR enabled etc etc. The monitor as is being an OLED is plenty nice viewing out of the box. I am sure i will tackle that soon to get even more out of this monitor in the not to distant future. In closing I would love to have this monitor without any smart features or a remote as I purchased this with the intent of using it on my PC. My PC specs are as follows: Asus Rog Maximus Z790 Hero, I9-13900k, 32gb DDR5 Gskill Trident Z5 system memory, Asus Rog Strix RTX 4090 OC edition, Rog ryujin 360 liquid cpu cooler, Rog Thor 1200w Platinum PSU, 3 Samsung 2tb 990 pro's for storage.Audio is Logitech z906 5.1 connected via optical cable to motherboard. Along either side of 49" monitor i have to inverted 24" monitors for the 3 monitor set up.

    5/5 Stars: A Total Game-Changer for Work and Play!

    I purchased the Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G950 Curved Smart Gaming Monitor for my wife's demanding school work, and it has been an absolute triumph! The sheer immersion from the 49-inch, DQHD curved OLED display is incredible. She uses it for multitasking, having multiple documents, research tabs, and video conferencing open simultaneously without missing a beat—the 5120 x 1440 resolution and vibrant OLED colors make everything crystal clear. Even though it's packed with top-tier gaming specs like the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, it translates into a seamless and stress-free productivity setup. She absolutely loves this monitor. It's not just a tool; it's a centerpiece that has genuinely improved her workflow and enjoyment. In fact, she jokes about how much she loves it because it's so much better than the monitor I own. I can't argue with her—the contrast and speed on this thing are honestly next level. If you need the ultimate screen for productivity, entertainment, or, well... anything, this is it! Highly recommend!

    Cautiously optimistic that i got a good unit. After hearing all the horror stories and issues that caused lot of people to return them. I ran out through a battery of texts and so far, so good. I would still get the geek squad warranty just to be safe. I am able to get full resolution at 240hz from my rtx 5080 through hdmi 2.1 and my macbook pro m4 max using ado to usb-c cable. The ultrawide is super helpful for my work and looks great on games that support the resolution. The monitor looks great on the desk and is gorgeous to look at.
