||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spectacular. This thing is amazin. Playing games in it fullscreen makes me a bit nauseous but it's otherwise amazing. No issues whatsoever. No dead pixels, no popping noises, no issues getting 240hz to work with my 3080 with HDR and adaptive sync. For people saying the HDR looks terrible, try removing the turning off dynamic brightness and local dimming. Play with the brightness then disable and re-enable HDR in Windows if necessary. Also has a black level equalizer - I set this all the way up as high as it could go then re-enabled HDR and it looks fantastic.

Perfect except for the loud annoying clicks
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic display and possibly ahead of its time. I wanted a monitor that would both offer immersive gaming for my down-time and maximum productivity for my day job. I have a 3090 and an M1 Mac. These are the problems: 1. Out of the box, 240hz is not supported. You need to update to firmware 1008.x for the G95T (There is no firmware update for the g97t). For the absolute latest G95T firmware, 1010.x, you have to go to Samsung's Korean website. Note, you need a USB thumb drive to update the firmware, so don't add the backplate until you update the firmware 2. The monitor clicks and stretches. Because of the monitor 1000r curve, the plastic stretches and produces loud clicks when warming up or cooling down. The clicks are loud enough that people can hear them on conference calls. I read that newer models don't have the issue, so I'm going to request a replacement, hoping the replacement version doesn't have this issue. Otherwise, this is the perfect monitor. I've tested with Cyberpunk, MS Flight Sim, RDR2, No Man Sky, and GTA5. 240hz is impressive, and HDR makes things pop, and the curve plus the size gives an immersive experience you have to see to believe. Also, the Infinity Core, while gimmicky, adds a lovely blue hue to my wall. Unfortunately, if it's impossible to fix the clicking issue, I'll have to purchase something else and wait for the 2nd Gen G9.

Amazing monitor for productivity and gaming.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor has been wonderful paired with an RTX 3080 using the provided Display port cable. The monitor arrived in a huge box and was extremely well packaged. Contained the monitor, 1 Display port cable and 1 HDMI cable. Assembly was simple, IF, you build the monitor while still in the box and supporting monitor foam. Although I haven't fully put this through its paces there doesn't appear to be any of the predecessor's defects or issues. I have the settings maxed from the OSD and don't get any flickering or vertical lines... Just a smooth and amazing image. If you have the money or want top of the line, in this size and form factor, I recommend this monitor!!

UPDATE THE FIRMWARE MANUALLY!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After fighting for weeks trying to figure out why this monitor was so finnicky, I updated the firmware with a USB stick and it works a bit better now. I must say, there's nothing like this monitor when it works perfectly. Gorgeous super ultrawide display, vivid colors, incredible immersion. Do be aware that not all games support this aspect ratio (Skyrim and Fallout require mods), but the majority do and they look good doing it. If you're not opposed to having to mess with settings to get the perfect outcome, this monitor will be the last one you need for a very long time. Current graphics cards can't even come close to maxing out the 240fps this monitor is capable of.

Samsung - Odyssey 49"
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought I was going to love having a 49" screen, but it was just too much for me. I could not get anything to fill up the screen and I got more screen size out of my 34" ultrawide. Decided to go with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical 34" ultrawide screens instead. Perhaps I will check back in a couple years when 5120 x 1440 resolution is more widely used.

A gaming monitor for work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I need it a monitor for work. The dual monitor set up with two 32” screens was way to wide for my desk and complicated with monitor arms and wiring. I settled on this super wide and curve screen which fits perfectly on my work desk. It’s much easier to navigate, move apps around and view from the same panel while still using my small laptop in front of it for messaging apps. I like the color ring in the back that lights in the dark and the cable management built in to the monitor. Wish it could be higher res and taller to fit more vertically. But I’m happy with the ergonomics.

Absolutely Stunning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to use almost exclusively for sim racing. I considered other 32:9 monitors but ultimately took the gamble on this one, feeling that the more drastic curve would be more ideal. Extremely pleased I did. At my viewing distance, the entire image remains the same distance from my face from left to right. In game, the fov is much more immersive and natural feeling. I mounted this on an Ergotron HX arm for distance and versatility. I was hoping Bestbuy offerred this arm as it is apparently the only arm that can withstand the weight, but they did not.

Best monitor EVER!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best monitor ever for video games, it also works great for office, I use it 8 hours per day for my home office work and I love it since I have a lot of space to play with and also I use it for 4 to 6 hours per day for video games, the resolution is awesome and all configuration options gives you the best for what you need, from having the more realistic picture to protect your eyes.

Best monitor there is
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely the best display I've had the privilege of feasting my eye balls on. Expensive and not supported for a number of games/applications but still worth it when it does work.

Samsung G9
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far its been great i have noticed some some flicker in some games with gsync . When surfing the net can blind you and give ya headaches its so bright you can turn it down to dull the brightness but you might need that brightness in other apps. Samsung is supposedly making a even better version of the monitor. The stand has a bit of wobble to it but its alot of screen. Comes with 3 cables power,hdmi and display port rated at 8k

Didnt know what love was until I pressed the power
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best monitor I have ever used there is nothing I dont like about this monitor beacuse its functualy and physically perfection. The only down sides are alot of new games coming out dont suppport the resolution even though most older titles will and its so large and heavy you will need 2 abled bodyed people to move and transport this safely if that doesnt bother you then this really is a treat for zero compromise gamer.

Great monitor!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good monitor. There are some issues with the HDR and other games running with this monitor that caused my pc to crash even though I have a RTX 3080. I read that it is a common issue with some games starting out at 240hz and when I turn it down it works fine but the whole point is to run the game at 240hz not 120hz. Overall though the monitor is amazing looking and performs well. I do wish the stand was smaller than it is cause 13in is a lot of desk space being taken away.

Great monitor

Great for productivity
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not a gamer, so I solely bought the monitor for productivity. And let me tell you it works great for that. With the right software downloaded I can take advantage of real estate that it provides. I had small issue when it came to sharing my screen on teams but if you use share application, instead of window, it works great
