Samsung - Odyssey CRG9 49" Curved Dual QHD FreeSync and G-Sync Gaming Monitor (DisplayPort, HDMI, USB) - Black

I've now been using my 49" curved Samsung Monitor for just over two months. Before installing this display my desk was cluttered with these ... 1. 32" Monitor attached to my desktop 2. Three 9" Tablets 3. 2nd 15" Laptop Monitor 4. My Cell phone From the above description I'm sure you could tell that I'm not a Gamer. I use my computer primarily for various Business, Financial and Home Automation processing systems. I've replaced all of the above listed equipment with one Best Buy MSI Laptop running Windows 11, an extensive 24T HDD array and this stellar 49" Samsung Curved Monitor. I'm typically running 5 to 8 open, active Window Apps. The monitor is large and crisp enough to allow me to easily see the numbers and text that I need. I can now easily cut n paste data from one App to another active App. This has helped me tremendously and is a great time saver with no errors caused by having to retype numbers into multiple Windows/Apps. I love this Monitor and a big plus was that Best Buy did a price match for me. The monitor stand allows me to easily shift the height and angle of the display. Best part is that by participating in Best Buy's new promotional program, a Geek Squad Tech installed ALL of my new equipment and software, even equipment that I did nother from Best Buy, at no additional charge. Plus, I now have a full year to use Geek Squad Service 7x24 hours.

I had 2 27 inch curved monitors but was looking to just have 1 large monitors to make things more clean in my home office. Needless to say this thing is phenomenal! The 120hz display is buttery smooth and a noticeable improvement over 60hz! I highly recommend this CRG9!!!

I've only had this monitor going on 2 weeks and I love it! At first, because my desk (18"x58") isn't HUGE, it felt like the stand (just over 12") took up too much real estate. But I quickly acclimated to a custom setup that works for me (I can also always mount it to the wall in the future). I mainly purchased this monitor for the discounted price ($899) and visual real estate. As I work from home and use multiple applications simultaneously, dual or even triple monitors are a must! I've since taken advantage of the PBP option for using only 2 monitors while splitting the third with Crunchyroll. I'm not a PC gamer at all and many (including my coworkers) say I paid too much for an ultrawide gaming monitor when I don't even game on PC. And they may be partly correct. There are TONS of features and customizations for the best gaming experience possible (and I don't understand any of them). What I will say is with the inclusion of my $26 Jelly Comb multi-device keyboard and mouse. I can juggle slow periods in the day between support and streaming without switching cables and/or adapters. I can easily toggle use of my Chromebox, Surface Pro and work laptop seamlessly with the touch of a button (I'm getting off-topic). While I may not be utilizing this monitor to its fullest potential. I'm very happy with my purchase and the options I do use more than make up for the high price tag. I hope to update this review 6 months to a year after the honeymoon phase has worn off.
