Samsung - Odyssey G9 49" LED UltraWide Curved QHD FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible Monitor with HDR - Black/White

Display is gorgeous. Love the design, super clean, solid improvement over previous 49 inch models. Cables are routed into the stand, you won't see any cables. LED lighting is present but it is not too much, at night time it adds a subtle glow if near a wall. I ended up mounting this monitor to the wall since my previous desk arm (Ergotron HX) could not hold it properly. During games I definitely saw a difference between this and my previous CHG90 144hz. HDR looks fantastic, I didn't see any flickering at 240hz but I can't comment too much on games since I use this monitor mostly for productivity. Make sure you have a powerful enough PC to take full advantage of this monitor.

I love this monitor. It is worth every single penny, do not even hesitate, just buy it. It should last you until the year 2030, easily. It's a dream come true, it is impressive, it makes me smile. I don't even play games... I just use it to see all of my stocks and trade windows, and just love, love, love it. I'm not even using it at 240hz, I'm using it with an older Geforce 1080ti graphics card on a VR laptop. I have none of the reported issues with the first batch, knock on wood.

Very disappointed about this product for several reasons: * Nvidia G-Sync Compatible with NO drivers available at launch for the product, and still a month into the launch on the Nvidia site still says it’ll be compatible on the “Upcoming Driver” * Adaptive Sync Still Causes Several issues with flickering screen * Backlight Bleeding is very present leaking out of the edge of the monitor, the monitor is not adhering properly to the frame of the display. Monitor was manufactured in June 2020

It was a beautiful display. But the display I got had a defected seal around the display and there was a 1 inch slit between the display and bezel that had light bleed. I returned the display and now there is no date on it would be resold in best buy. For the price of this display, it should be perfect.

My unit arrived with light bleed in the upper left, like others reported online. It isn't terrible or distracting since for me. There are a small cluster of dead pixels in the center top, these are not visible unless I have a bright white background, which is not often. I experienced dizziness and some neck strain when I first started using this, but I think I just needed to adjust my physical habits and distance to the screen. It was fine after a week of only occasional use. Gaming (FPS) is fine, since my focus doesn't change from the center very often. GTA still makes me a bit dizzy when driving. I bought this to "future proof" myself and to get into sync with upcoming GPU releases. My current 980ti is unable to drive beyond 120Hz.

I purchased this monitor for work. I am a professional shout caster for a major videogame company and need to see more than just the game while performing. The real estate offered by this monitor is unmatched at a 144hz refresh rate. The colors are crisp it has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a monitor at this price. My only issues are with the bugs. When the monitor returns from sleep mode the screen is very dark. I have to use CTRL ALT DEL to bring up the task manager in order to return to the proper light levels. Other than that it's a fantastic monitor.

Look no further for a gaming monitor that outperforms and attracts more attention than your PC itself. When friends or family see this thing for the first time all I hear is “oh wow!” and “holy sxxx!”. Not only is this 49” of widescreen view, it is also crystal clear. You won’t see colors pop like this on your 4K tv. If you want to play games at their best quality, I suggest this beast of a gaming monitor. It even has direct audio for headphones or external speakers, although I just use the PC audio output so don’t ask me about audio. This is visually the best gaming monitor that anyone I know has, and it is mine. Worth every penny.

Having the most advanced monitor on the market comes with some draw backs. It works great and looks great but I get some bugs, clicking here and there when I have HDR on, and weird flickering at certain refresh rates but only on certain hardware. Overall it’s good and I would recommend it especially since Best Buy price matched Amazon’s cost but I do spend time waiting for driver updates because it currently cannot achieve 240hz with a 30 series nvidia card. It’s a known bug but that’s on nvidia, or so the release notes say. I also spend time reading on firmware and other user experiences and bugs because I am a little concerned this expensive monitor won’t last me the full 5+ years I’m planning on getting out of it. Like I said it’s a chance you take when get something bleeding edge sometimes. It shouldn’t be like that but tis the times and Samsung had QC issues that have been supposedly resolved. I did buy in september and still got a may 2020 model. Supposedly the issues are resolved after august 2020 models and the new 7T “business” model that apparently doesn’t have the light in the back that no one will ever use or see. Get it if you can afford it and hopefully u get a working model like I did on the 1st or 2nd attempt. Don’t get it if you saved for a really long time and need something 100% the first time.
