I am going to swap my two-monitor setup for a G9 OLED pretty soon and currently watching my way through all the content I can find. I have to say that this is perhaps the most helpful video I've seen, thank you for this detailed and honest overview!

[@Nowhere-o_o]

Is there a similar video going over all this stuff but for the 93SC? I despise the smart features and tizen ui

[@gonzo4891]

I actually caved and brought the G9 QD-OLED on Amazon (while it was on a great sale!) almost 2 weeks now! It came very next day and setup was kinda straight forward. I’m really loving the monitor thus far. While my monitor updated itself (😩 Samsung always removing features) I don’t believe I can adjust peak brightness for SDR (least while an image is onscreen) on FW 1310. I have since turned auto update off. Overall, I absolutely love the 32:9 aspect ratio. While I initially wanted the 45 Corsair Xeneon Flex model, for the price I got the Samsung and the overall (potentially) better 2nd gen QD display, I’m certainly not losing any sleep over not having the prior. I know I wasn’t paying $1900 for ANY monitor, regardless how nice of PQ quality. For the price and the absolute gorgeous display of the Samsung, it simply can’t be beat.

[@jeggzzzz]

Just chiming in about the cable. When I initially got the monitor and set it up with my 30ft display port (specific requirements in my workstation unfortunately), the patchy white flickers were very consistent and persistent on anything above 60hz (120 or 240). Toning that down to 60hz (i know) alleviates most of it alongside disabling gsync. I still get them occasionally but it definitely IS the cable. In my first couple weeks with it, I did try it with a much shorter cable and the flickering was nonexistent in the 4-6 hours I was using it. IF it did flicker, it wasn't enough to even notice. Im just putting this out here since there's also some issues with QA reported all over the place including the DP port issue that causes these flickering. Otherwise, for my use case needing a single 30ft cable, I'm okay to sacrifice hz for it, but cannot reiterate from the video that the cables indeed matter. I'm still in search for a REALLY good cable capable of the travel and diminished bandwidth but will settle for the 60hz limitation in the meantime. My second one is flawless on a much shorter cable.

[@chettystudios]

@@jeggzzzz if I were you I would look into active cables if you haven’t already, or cables with a built in amplifier to amplify the signal. Usually anything over 15 feet will cause a loss of bandwidth, especially when you’re pushing 5120x1440 at high refresh rates, but an active cable will keep the signal strong the whole way through hopefully allowing for you to utilize the full 240hz

[@jeggzzzz]

@@chettystudios I used to use them before and they tend to fail since it has an extra thing to it. So I'll keep an eye out for better ones, but I'm totally fine with the 60hz, but thank you very much for the reminder! :)

[@phenomz28]

Awesome video! However, I have a burn-in anecdote. I typically turn the monitor off when I'm done using the computer. One time, when I left for a few days, I forgot to do this AND I forgot to disconnect my remote desktop from the computer in the city I was in. When I got home, I was horrified to see my g9 oled on and in remote desktop view. I knew for a fact that I just burned the remote view picture into the monitor because it had been showing the stagnant screen for over a day. I've never been so happy to be wrong. I have not found a single sign of burn-in. These things are pretty fucking resilient.

[@chettystudios]

@@phenomz28 glad to hear it! Not seeing too many of these newer panels get burn in that easy is a great relief

My G9SC arrived and it is amazing.. Transferred 1:1 your settings and it looks even more brillant, thanks dear

[@zaccrews5797]

Love the video can't wait to try out the settings you gave! Just got it last week, never had an OLED before, and I have been searching and searching for answer to this but, what can be done about the heat it outputs, mine usually sits around 95-105, with a peak of 110F on a hot spot, can not seem to find a solution for this, or if this is just normal/okay

[@chettystudios]

I've never checked the temp from mine so not sure what's considered normal but I do notice it gives off quite a bit of heat in the back. Just to be safe I would reach out to Samsung to make sure that's not out of the norm, but as long as it has enough room to breathe I would say its okay

[@sCORE-jj9so]

thx a lot for the vid. Tomorrow will my G9SC arriving, I will check you vid again for a basis of calibration

[@LazerFocus3113]

I got this monitor not too long ago and I found most of your settings are actually defaulted now bar brightness(max out of the box) and the colour tone(Natural is just default at 0 across the board). I used the standard colour calibration - HDR calibration doesn't appear on Windows 10 for me for some reason - and it looks fine. I'm using the DP cable that came with it and haven't experienced any issues but some options are greyed out for me so I do wonder if this is a setting I've enabled somewhere separately or because it's DP instead of HDMI(I've heard from different sources that DP is better and delivers higher picture quality, something about transfer speeds being faster still on DP rather than HDMI). I'm with you re recommendation of this monitor to others: Don't buy it if you're at all hesitant at dropping this kind of money on a monitor. It's a big monitor, looks great, feels premium and, honestly, old games look absolutely amazing on it(Surprisingly a lot of older games support 5120x1440p) and FPS games like Battlefield look and feel very good. Older games look a lot newer, a lot better and it pretty much gives them a new lease of life which really surprised me. The major negative is it's just too costly and you're going to have that OLED burn in question hanging over your head. 1,000 bucks or more is a big price tag that shouldn't be taken lightly. For the burn in I changed some settings for static objects such as the task bar: This is set to hide. Pixel Shift(Monitor setting) is on(It literally shifts the screen up/down and to the right/left) every few minutes. I've not noticed it while actively using the screen but I've noticed it if I'm staring at the screen on my desktop. I also set windows to turn off the screen after 15minutes of inactivity. If you're using your monitor for gaming where there's a lot of movement you generally shouldn't have to worry about burn-in but if you're using it more for productivity for hours upon hours on end I'd be very worried to use the monitor. For me: Gaming = Yes / Productivity = In limited quantities.

[@radumihai1790]

Amazing video(s), thank you! Would I please need to adjust some settings in Nvidia Control Panel as well? (3080 ti)

[@chettystudios]

Thanks! You shouldn't have to, but I would double check resolution and refresh rate are set properly.

[@MrFrambooise]

is it posible to use only small portion of the screen to save energy and the OLED itself? Let's say using the middle of the screen as regualr 1080p screen

[@chettystudios]

yes, but you would end up burning in the middle of the screen faster and have noticeable lines where the box is that you're playing in, so its best to just use the whole screen so you "burn in" the pixels evenly, which will result in you not noticing the burn in because the usage is spread out

[@MrFrambooise]

​@@chettystudios can it be done with hardware support form the monitor, or we are talking about resizing the output in the software/OS? Makes sense though it still saves energy and possible is more comfortable in specific situations.

[@zeker32008]

Thanks for your review, I bought the monitor on a Amazon sale a week ago, beautiful monitor especially for the sale price $1100 in stead of the normal 1800.00. I had the random black screen when i hooked it up to my home laptop, which is a Alienware gaming laptop I use for graphic and 3d development, no gaming. i installed better cables and made the changes you showed yesterday, so far so good. One thing I did notice is that when I hook it up to my work laptop which is a DELL workstation with a Nvidia workstation card, no problem, no black screen at all, even got it hooked to the display port. no problems so far.

I'm having trouble with mine where it would randomly go black and then turn on again. It's like HDR is getting turned off and on again. Very strange I have a similar settings config as yours but I can't understand why the random blackouts. It's as if hdr turns on and off at random intervals, not coming from the driver either. Could it be gsync and vrr?

[@jintarokensei3308]

@chettystudios I'll fiddle with it today and let you know if I have any success

[@jintarokensei3308]

@@chettystudios I figured it out. Basically whenever you run an application such as a game that doesn't support or have HDR enabled, g9 will reinitialise without HDR. But since the driver is set up for HDR it wants it ON, but game doesn't so g9 wants it OFF. So it cycles between on and off. This will keep happening until you either turn off HDR on the driver or turn it on in the game.

[@BlackMetalChauvinist]

For the peak brightness not working right... I was looking for oled G8 settings and people said that if you turn off the game HDR and turn on HDR10+ it produces a much brighter image. Might work with the G9 as well.

Wow, really well thought out!. I just got it since it was $700 off. It would have been cool your thoughts on color grading for video & photo editing, remote button and short cuts between tv and workspace, and picture by picture settings since it'll have to be DP and HDMI. I'm starting to realize the msrp they're asking, there are several things with this monitor that I wish could be better like speakers, easier UI and easy functionality and flexibility between media. Thanks!

[@waynestorton1875]

Great video 👍. I have a few questions that I hope you may have answers to 🙂. I like to use Gsync. Samsung says that you MUST use DisplayPort for this and that it is not compatible with HDMI. Do you have any feedback on this? Do you not have Gsync on in Nvidia Control Panel with your HDMI cable? Game Mode seems to automatically switch on Gsync compatibility (adaptive sync). Should you also have VRR switched on too? I am confused as to why this setting is optional.

[@chettystudios]

@@waynestorton1875 I use gsync with HDMI, I think it wasn’t officially gsync compatible at first but it is now. The reason you would want VRR off is because it causes a weird flickering with OLED monitors because of how fast the response time of the pixels are. Some monitors are better with this than others, and some people are more sensitive to it than others. My advice is to try both. If you’re having severe screen tearing then turn VRR on. If VRR is on and you’re experiencing what they call “VRR flicker” and it’s bothersome, then turn it off. Personally I don’t notice the flicker in game so I have VRR on for gaming, but while using a photo or video editing program it’s much more noticeable so I turn it off.

[@ThePerizzo]

[@GT7_LogitechG]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! In the multi view screen, I would like to put Samsung TV playing on one side and have my computer screen shown on the other half. I was able to do this by customizing the multi view settings. However, I cannot seem to put Samsung TV on the right half of the screen. I can only put Samsung TV on the left side of the screen. When I try to manually place it on the right side by putting my computer screen on the left side, the monitor disables (dims) the Samsung TV so I can't select it to show it on the right side. Do you happen to know how to fix this by any chance?

[@chettystudios]

I don't unfortunately. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the ABL but then it wouldn't make sense why it only happens on one side. Best of luck!

[@NYT3SHAYD3]

I applied your recommendations here on my new Samsung G9 OLED S49CG932SN, which for some reason does not come with a remote and has a different UI, setting names yet seems to have the same specs as the one here. Like for instance, it only has three levels of color scales to change on RGB instead of the 6 you have here. With the settings here applied (except I kept color settings at 0,0,0) with HDR on and Auto HDR off. I don’t understand why we would want that off? With that off, each time I open a game now, instead of automatically applying HDR to the game, I get a pop up informing me that HDR is available but Off and it would benefit having it on. 😅

[@chettystudios]

There's 2 models of the G9 OLED, one with the "smart" features and interface and one without. I believe the one you have is without, which is why there's no remote/settings are a bit different but the panel itself should be the same. For the Auto HDR I had mine off because it's purpose is to take SDR content and apply a new tone map to give it an HDR look, and although it does a good job most of the time, for the sake of keeping things standard while setting things up I didn't want it to apply any "effects" on top of the image. You can definitely mess around with this once the monitor is set up as it may make some SDR content look better, just keep in mind that Windows is applying a new tone map, on top of the tone map you've already set on the monitor, so if things do start to look oversaturated or highlights blown out that's the reason. The most common complaints I've seen is that it makes certain programs/software while not gaming look blown out and oversaturated and the common fix for this is setting up a hotkey to turn it on/off when using it for gaming/not gaming.

[@bongimusprime7981]

thanks for this! quick question, is there a way to set profiles on this monitor? I use a KVM switch to go between my gaming rig and work Mac

[@chettystudios]

That’s a good question, not technically that I’m aware of, but the settings do save to game mode and non-game mode separately so you could always use game mode off for the Mac and game mode on for the gaming rig and it should act like two different profiles if I’m not mistaken

How can i help prevent long term screen burn-in? better to power off the monitor when not in use or would a screen saver wirh motion be ok?

Screen saver with motion is fine, I would still avoid any bright screensavers and best practice would be to set a timer for the screen saver to switch to a different one every few minutes. Typically I don't even do that, I just switch my screen saver every so often, and when I know I'm stepping away for more then 5/10 minutes I'll just shut the monitor off until I come back.

I can’t alt+tab normally on my new monitor. Have black screen every time. It seems to be connected with 240 refresh rate and HDR. But I really don’t want to use it without 240hz and hdr. Did someone faced the same issue? Have you found a fix?

[@chettystudios]

Yeah that’s a common issue with a lot of these monitors that use Display Stream Compression in order to utilize high refresh rates. Unfortunately only fix as of now is play in windowed borderless

[@anicomx4]

@@chettystudios that’s a bummer. Maybe will return it back then… Is there another model of ultrawide oled which is working better? Maybe G93SC works better?

[@chettystudios]

@@anicomx4 It's all about compatibility with the GPU. Nvidia has stated it's a known issue and they're working on a fix for it but its been quite a while and still no fix. No matter the brand or model, at such high refresh rates and resolution DSC is going to need to be used, and unfortunately it just isn't a 100% perfected technology yet.

[@ezahydna]

Thanks so much for the follow up and sharing the settings. I will be installing mine today so I discovered this video right on time. Any thoughts using on the "upgrade files"/Firmware version (USB Type) and drivers available on the product support page? I went for the G93SC without the SmartTv features.

[@chettystudios]

I’ve only updated it from the OS on the monitor but if g93sc doesn’t have this feature I would definitely update them via USB

[@ezahydna]

@@chettystudios Thanks, it turned out that mine was already updated luckily. My whole setup process was without any issue and took me a couple of hours to get everything working perfectly. I am using displayport. My only gripes are that coresync lighting doesnt work via displayport and that the G93 doesnt have user profiles. But other than that everything is great and all the games I tried work fine at this resolution. (GTA V, FO 4, RDR2, Elden Ring (with modengine).

[@chettystudios]

@@user-ux3jp9oo7r it depends on if you use a lot of static elements. For gaming you're probably fine, but if you do a lot of work with the same tabs open all day long it will definitely burn in eventually. Possibly under 4 years if those static elements like a spread sheet are all you ever have up for long hours every day. Also, Best Buy offers a warranty that covers burn in if that will help you make your decision, I'm not too certain the exact details but might be worth looking into

[@Kingdac123]

Hi, I recently purchased this monitor, and your videos have been very helpful. However, the screen was glitching, and the monitor’s OS indicated a port issue. Samsung’s customer service was unable to diagnose the problem. Following your suggestion, I tried using HDMI 2.1 cables, which so far seem to have resolved the issues. But I have two questions for you before I decide whether to return the monitor: 1. Since getting the monitor, it has been making a popping noise while in use. Did yours do that? 2. When I first received my monitor, every time I powered it on, the screen would display “Samsung Odyssey OLED”. Now, it only shows the shutting down animation when I turn it on. Is this normal behavior after a while, or is my unit faulty? Thank you!

[@chettystudios]

Glad the cable helped! I forgot to mention I too had the port issue indication when running the troubleshooter in the OS at first. For the popping, this isn’t something I’ve experienced but I would definitely email Samsung about it to make sure it’s just the speakers turning on and not something more serious like a faulty power supply or something that could catch fire over time. And as for the power on, this is normal, I don’t see any text on screen when powering it on, just the horizontal “shutter” effect if the PC is already turned on and a blue screen if the PC is just being turning on and waking the monitor from rest until I get Windows Login Screen

[@starlinvilorio]

bro I already bought this monitor it haven't been delivery probably its coming to Dominican republic next week, I got the same one model just because I thought that it would be better the full feature and now I'm scared of all this issue I'm reading on comments, its too much expensive to get this monitor out side of the states, and what would be your best advice to me relative ti this monitor because I work call center more than 12 hours a day! I'm getting scared about burning and stuff , what should I do?

[@chettystudios]

If your screen is static for 12 hours a day I would probably look at something other than OLED, but if you switch it up often then I would open it up and before peeling off any stickers check to see if it works well with your computer. If not, then return it, if it does, then keep it and enjoy!

[@HuhWhatHuhwhatHuh]

Hey, building my 1st PC. I already have the Asus Rog Strix 4090, waiting on the parts. Should I opt for a different monitor with that card? I would like to play in 4k but if this monitor is nearly the same as, well. What do you think. Breat review btw. Thank you. All the other reviews are so “nearly sponsored” and reddit is so the opposite it’s hard to get a read.

[@nickclark3861]

In my opinion this one because oled just looks so damn good. But your clearly want to spend money on this setup so Samsungs newest neo is this but in 4k, it’s 7680x2160 so 2 4k monitors beside each other, it’s around $3k I believe but if you really want resolution it’s great. I still personally recommend this one though there’s really nothing that comes close to oled in terms of quality.

[@chettystudios]

I second that I would definitely stick with OLED. If 4k is what you’re looking for there’s also quite a few coming out/already released this year in the 32” variant if you’re not already 100% set on UW that are worth taking a look at as well

[@rustyshackleford4117]

If you can afford both, for the 4090 I'd recommend 65" or 77" 16:9 4K OLED that can do 120hz, for big screen/couch gaming. And for gaming with a mouse/keyboard at a desk, go with this G9 as you can't beat the 240Hz and superultrawide 5120x1440 32:9 resolution. Personally for gaming, I do prefer the extra width especially for FPS and strategy games, however for more cinematic games or 3rd person games, I like the big TV and additional vertical resolution. The pixel density from 1440p vs 4k is noticeable, however it's not a huge deal even sitting close to the monitor, it's a much wider gap from 1080p to 1440p. 4k does offer that bit of extra clarity, especially on a small monitor to where anti-aliasing type in games doesn't really matter anymore, but the extra width is a lot more immersive as the screen fills your whole field of view which does kinda suck you into the game when sitting close in a way a TV can't. If you really wanna hold out for a true 4K 32:9 OLED monitor, rumors are that next year Samsung will release an OLED with that ungodly double 4k resolution of 7680x2160, as they currently have a 57" monitor with that res but it's still a QLED/MicroLED type of tech. That said, that's probably about 9 months to a year out from now, but in either case that res would even bring a 4090 to it's knees, as it would be half the FPS of 4K.... The 5090 should be out by then though and may be a perfect match.

[@omsa831]

How is this vs a 4k 32" ips? I'm looking into OLED but I'm afraid the vertical resolution and sharpness compared to 4k makes me regret it

[@chettystudios]

There are quite a bit of 32” 4k OLED’s out at the moment so you could always look at those. Personally when I went from 4k to 1440p, specifically when gaming, I don’t really notice the resolution difference. However, in menus/surfing the web/etc I definitely can.

[@Guitaro.o]

is there downsides of using a converter on G8 monitor from regular dp to mini dp

[@chettystudios]

I'm not sure but converters are something I've been looking into and try to find a way to test if you lose any quality. In theory you shouldn't lose quality but I'm not sure how the graphics card then registers the cable and handles things like DSC (display stream compression) so its a bit out of my knowledge but definitely something I've been trying to look into, just such a niche thing its hard to find some solid data

Freesync enabled 24/7. hdr10+ advanced was very oversaturated for me and I have a feeling when you set up the monitor in this video it wasnt in game mode because you have settings grey'd out that I do not - or maybe thats from running hdmi and not DP. I feel like you left some visuals/performance on the table with these settings unless you are running an older gpu maybe

[@chettystudios]

@@KevinGomezFuentes black screen issue is still present so I wouldn’t go with g9, as far as 34 or 49 the biggest deciding factor would be which games you play. I found a lot of games I play don’t support 32:9 but do support 21:9 so I would look at that and see if that helps your decision
