1st ultra wide and its an awesome experience to play on

I hate to say this but I would give this monitor 0 stars if I could. I really wanted to love this as it has all the features and the form factor/screen curvature is amazing, and it seems the refresh rate performs as expected. The only issue, and this is a show stopper, is both my first and my second monitor red lined after the slightest pressure on the outer rim of the computer. These things are designed like glass. It's impossible to get one of these onto a arm mount without accidentally squeezing the outer edge "too hard" and causing a vertical line of pixels. After it happened with my first one I thought, my fault. So I returned it and was insanely gentle with the second one...as soon as I turned it on, FIRST TIME, it had a vertical line of pixels again. To make it even worse, I called Samsung and they gave me NO advice or information other than "a tech will call you in 1-2 days to set up an appointment". Since I know this can be caused by the ribbon being pinched or twisted I started to apply pressure and found if I push a very specific part of the monitor's edge with my finger the line would go away. But, if I so much as bumped into my desk the line would come back. This will be my second return and I am never buying an Odyssey again. I love Samsung products so one day I'll come back, but stay away from this horribly designed form factor like the plague

Worst thing I ever looked at very bad for gaming if your bad at games you could maybe like it but just overall no!

First monitor arrived with two lines of stuck/dead pixels. Second was an open box that was missing vesa adapter and ring for the back light.

Monitor was great for first month if ownership... now it's turning on, but the screen is black.

Screen flickers, I will need to return. Wish it worked

This is one you look for. The higher the resolution, the more choices you have for activities on the big screen. If you're skilled at multitasking, you can do multiple things on one screen. It's great for gamers too; it's like combining a game console and computer into one. The 240Hz With the screen space of two 27” panels offers for the price I paid was worth every penny. It's like experiencing those graphics during game in your real life more like you are watching the movies.

The Samsung Odyssey 49” is a game-changer for immersive gaming and multitasking. Its 1000R curvature wraps around your field of view, delivering a truly panoramic experience. The Dual QHD resolution offers razor-sharp clarity, while the 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time ensure ultra-smooth performance with no lag, perfect for competitive gaming. With FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility, screen tearing and stuttering are virtually eliminated, providing seamless visuals. The monitor’s sheer size and stunning design make it a centerpiece for any setup. While it’s a significant investment, the cutting-edge features and immersive experience make it worth every penny for gamers and professionals alike.

Neither of the DP ports will work so it will only work at 60hz. Another returned item at Best Buy

Came with a cracked screen....I was really looking forward to this monitor....It looked amazing setup on my desk.

Beautiful picture quality. Pairs well with a good graphics card

Pairs well with my R15 Aurora, Easy to install, clarity, refresh rate , sharp, great for imaging, However, you will get annoyed with the sound reflecting when speaking to a corner as the curvature will create acoustic reflection.

This is the type of panel that makes people turn heads when they view your setup for the first...or even second time. Ummatched performance at an extreme size. You cant go wrong with this panel.

Great monitor for console or desktop. it better then have two monitors put together mainly because I don’t like have the bezel.

Ultra Wide FTW!!! Using this monitor is slightly overbearing initially but once you get used to it well the space it opens up is crazy! You can be incredibly productive with a side of efficiency due to the screen space. In games that support the screen size its amazing to help see things more frequently and at a wider view than others.

B3st monitor you could ever owned habds down game changer

poggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this screen and fell in love with it. It was amazing and had the best picture. BUT IT ONLY LASTED EXACTLY 1 YEAR AND A DAY. IT GOT A BIG BLACK LINE DOWN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. I CALLED BEST BUY AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME AT ALL BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DAY BEFORE. SO NOW IM LEFT WITH A BROKEN SCREE THAT I PAID ALMOST 3K FOR.

Avoid this monitor. I has a green vertical line show up after 5 days. Windows 11 does not recongize the monitor so comes up as generic display. (I went to samsung and download the “fix” its really nothing). HDR isn’t that great either.

I have owned this monitor for years and is impressive at first but Samsung’s software is terrible. My monitor constantly turns black and you can’t get it to work without restarting it and plugging your cable into a another port. Software updates do not help fix this issue and its 100% the Samsung monitor itself causing this issue. Because it constantly turns black and you can’t see what is on the screen it is unusable. Do not buy this monitor or Samsung monitors in general.
