@@8DarthGhost8 my current is a i9-12900k, 32GB ddr5 mem at 6200MT with sub 30CL (I think like 26 at 1.46v can’t remember) nvidia 4090. It’s a big overkill for the monitor as I noticed the 4090 doesn’t hit 100% power and I originally designed the specs to be 4k, which it was until I got this monitor

[@DisplayReality]

Nice backround man.. super sleek..

[@maddada]

Amazing review, I have the smart version, and it's near perfect. Wish it had 1600px height and an adjustable curve like the corsair flex, but other than that, it's really awesome.

[@maddada]

Update: The G9 is still amazing for fps games and racing, but I ended up switching to a 55" S90C which uses the same panel. Have it on a monitor stand with wheels, and it's perfect for my current usecase (work and non-competitive gaming)

[@wolveslands6701]

@@maddada Hello, how you doing man? What do you think provides better PC gaming experience? G9 49" qd-oled or S95C 55 " tv? i mostly play cooperative and singleplayer games and occasionally i emulate games, but i do usually play battlefiled, cod, csgo and PvE tactical shooters with my friends. I have also been gaming on VR since 2019, i have never experienced motion sickness, so super-ultrawide most likely wont make me motion sick. Thanks in advance brother.

[@maddada]

@@wolveslands6701 for non-comoetitive single/multiplayer gaming the 55" is better (much bigger display, very immersive) While for competitive the 49" ultra wide is better. Also for desktop usage and productivity I much prefer the 55" tv but it's personal preference, and you need to find a way to stand the tv away from you (I have mine on a TV stand with wheels after the table and move the TV around the house sometimes, I can do this because my table isn't near the wall). Also worth to consider that the tv is much cheaper while giving your a bigger usable area. While the 55" is cramped height wise. All the best

[@MalibuDelux]

Hi there! I've been enjoying your fantastic reviews on various displays. Thanks for all the valuable insights! 😋However, I'm still struggling to decide between the G93SC (non-smart TV) and the G95SC (smart TV with reportedly laggy Tizen OS). The G93SC is essentially the non-smart version of the G9 OLED, but it also boasts Picture-in-Picture mode alongside Picture-by-Picture mode. Conversely, the G95SC, with its smart TV capabilities, only offers Picture-by-Picture mode. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of being able to set custom window sizes with PIP on the G93SC, especially for creating a 21:9 window for games where there's significant stretching at the edges in 32:9 (as you often pointed out in your videos). It seems like this feature is exclusive to the slightly cheaper G93SC model compared to the G95SC. Is that accurate? Wouldn't owning the smart version be a downgrade in this case? Or am I wrong? I'm curious if it's possible to create a 21:9 window using PIP with the G93SC. If so, does it affect frame rate or disable HDR in any way? Can you utilize this feature with full 240Hz and HDR? Additionally, are there any important smart TV features that I might be overlooking? Both TVs are similarly priced in my country (with a $50 price difference). Given this, which one would you recommend? Looking forward to your insights! 😊 And thanks for reading this wall of text! 😅

[@thedisplayguy]

The G93SC is better value. The G95SC can allegedly have the brightness doubled via a service menu hack. (Officially I don’t recommend service mods).

[@MalibuDelux]

@@thedisplayguy Thanks for the super quick answer; it’s appreciated ☺️. I‘m going to join your Patreon for the perfect settings and to say thank you. So, can you confirm the G95SC has no Picture-in-Picture mode? Just Picture-by-Picture? I don’t mind purchasing the more expensive version, but if the above is true, I will follow your advice and buy the G93SC instead.

Is it possible to have 2 screens from different sources next to each other at the same time? I want to use this mainly as a 2 monitor setup for my Mac and Ps5

[@fredrik4527]

From my experience, Amd 7900xt works very well with this resolution. Just mind that whatever gpu you have, a monitors vrr matters, G-Sync is ONLY Nvidia tech and can only be used by Nvidia gpus, Freesync and freesync premium is whatever vrr gpu card, it supports all Variable refresh rates. Meaning both Nvidia/amd & intel gpus. So only buy a gSync monitor if you are planning for a Nvidia gpu, the gsync tech costs the monitor makers about a 100 $ premium. That is why freesync is in more TVs and monitors, it has no premium cost for its implementation. Many people on Nvidia claim it better than freesync. Im not sure either is better, for me its hard to spot a difference at such premium tech costs, its all S-Tier in this price bracket. Monitors this teched up with oleds and Hz blazing fast. These screens cost more than most people spend on an entire pc setup, screen and pc. Its not being marketed for an average customer.

[@MaCK0y]

Does anyone know the difference between Off timer and Eco Timer? For me Off timer displays the message that the monitor is turning off after the configured period has passed and I can disable the power off and the Eco timer doesn't seem to do anything. Using firmware 1004.

Actually don't buy it. My 49"g9 died just out of warranty and I opened it up and the heatsink on the main board was not touching the chip, the thermal paste was untouched, and the heatsink was actually stamped BAD on the underside of it. Samsung assembled my monitor with a part that didn't pass quality control. Screw Samsung. There is a reddit thread with pictures titled "49" G9 quality control" if you want to see the heatsink.

Nah, I hate 49 inch and with OLED seeing as so much content is 16:9 you just run the risk of burning anything else in to the damn thing. 34 inch or even 38 inch is the sweet spot of UW gaming ( or at least 21:9 ) Oh and most games have horrendous SUW support to a point everything looks really warped. Its there on 21:9 but a lot less.

@@5ean5ean22 am not on about 16:9 gaming, a lot of games nowadays get 21:9 and 32:9 support ( although cutscenes are still mostly 16:9 and mods help there ). I am on about how webpages are set up and youtube. You will literally not be able to watch youtube on this thing unless you want burn in very quickly.

As a G9 first gen (LCD) owner, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it at that price! 32:9 is absolutely AMAZING for games that support it and it's still a great monitor for games that just run in 16:9, plus the ability to use picture by picture and play in 21:9 with some other program open on the side or to have two 16:9 monitors in one seamless case is extremely useful to!

[@richboii6597]

lol welcome to monitors, they’re much larger than laptops. It’s 1440 so it’s the exact same as a 1440 27”. You’ll never get anywhere near 220 on a monitor. Best you’ll get is 163 on a 27” in 4k. All of this is mitigated by viewing distance tho. Btw your problem isn’t the resolution, it’s the pixel layout on QD-OLED. They’re not good for text.

Wtf you need higher ppi for, lmao! How close do you sit to your 27" x2 monitor? Cause the farther away you sit, the less ppi matters. 1440p is the best resolution for PC right now, anything higher only wastes performance and causes skaling issues on basically all OSes
