Fyi to whoever uses LTT’s amazon link: The link is for the 2019 version. The 2020 version was recalled and will be sold again later. The price for this monitor is $1800. The amazon link is 1100. Just Buyer Beware with that link. Edit: Basically the G9 spoken of in this video is no longer available on amazon. Using this link might lead a typical buyer to purchase the “Amazon Choice” top pick of the Samsung 49 inch CRG9 Curved Gaming Monitor. Which in a quick glance sounds exactly like the monitor in this video. This was likely an oversight and will be fixed (either by LTT or Samsung once they re-release the product). Just note this if you want this and try using that link around the second half of 2020 (no announced dates yet for this)

[@Macphotographs]

Need to get this comment to the top. Thanks for letting everyone know

[@aaronromine]

Thanks for the heads up! I'm an owner of the the 2019 version - got it a few months ago and it's solid. No flickering, 120hz (100hz w/ 10-bit, so no DSC), and only 1800R (1000R would have been my pick). For $700 less it's a consideration especially if productivity is the main use. It also is an amazingly immersive gaming monitor. AOC has the same panel but less back light and no local dimming that regularly is $1k on amazon (better warranty) - Agon AG493UCX. These monitors are expensive, but the experience of moving to a 1440p super ultra wide is pretty amazing - especially for WFH.

[@focusmicro]

[@ItssMitch]

@@douglasward718 woah, I wish I knew that before buying my monitor.

[@kleepglorp8923]

Where are you seeing an Amazon product listing for any G9? There is no 2019 version. They "released" it in February of this year and then it was promptly recalled, without any real explanation, shortly afterward. You literally cannot buy this monitor if you are in the US or Canada. Any link to it has been listed as "discontinued." The product search that the Amazon affiliate link in the description takes you to doesn't list a G9 anywhere on the page, because it's been delisted from their store front. Like every other store front. Not sure about other markets (Europe, Asia, etc). But the vast majority of Linus' audience literally, with no exceptions, cannot buy this monitor. So I don't know why this video was uploaded. Linus should know all of this, given his... like entire job, and whatnot. EDIT: Oh, forgot to link the actual Amazon listing for this monitor: www.amazon.com/dp/B088HH6LW5 Just in case you guys want to see for yourselves.

It's Samsung. So there is a 1 year warranty and the life of the monitor is 1 year and 1 day. I'd think that them paying a little more up front for quality materials would be cheaper than having to pay for technichians to constantly repair these things. Mine started having dead pixels after less than 6 months of use. They sent out a tech to replace the screen. The replacement screen was 100 times worse. Completely unusable. Now Samsung sent me an email saying they are sending me a REFURBISHED replacement. Yep, I said refurbished... And no, I did not buy a refurbished monitor. I paid for a new one. Not very happy with Samsung. These things are not cheap. They need to get this quality issue under control. This video is already 2 years old though, so I'm guessing that's not going to happen.

None of LTT's reviews are sponsored by the company making the product. They have had videos where they talk about a product that is sponsored by the maker, but they label them as "product showcase," never as "review." I believe the main reason they labeled this video as non-sponsored was because their unboxing of it was sponsored by Samsung, so they felt the need to clarify that this was not.

Been falling off in recent years as far as I'm concerned. They no longer make the best displays for TV's, LG does with their OLED's. Their new generation of 120hz OLED panels for mobile phones has been plagued with issues (see the green tint issues on the S20 Ultra and OnePlus 8 Pro for some examples of that), issues that are also apparently making Apple uneasy about using them for the iPhone 12 (that is a rumor though). They keep trying to ride amped up VA 'QLED' on both their TV and monitor market, with new generations barely being different or more innovative than the last. This monitor and their last few generations of TV are a great example. Barely more or the SAME pathetic amount of local dimming zones, resulting in the same poor HDR performance, and just frills and gimmicks to sell the new units. The only truly great thing Samsung makes these days is memory. Everything else is cut corners, gimmicks and gobs of fucking marketing. They need a kick in the pants.

I got myself the 27" G7, and I have to say I was initially scared to pre-order because it had no dedicated G-Sync module, but I trusted Samsung on this. I neither have dead pixels nor G-Sync flicker. However, I did have one instance when launching Razer Synapse Surface Calibration, the top of the pane started going haywire. Other than that, I haven't had a problem in a variety of games with Adaptive-sync on. Make sure you update your NVIDIA driver (mine never presented an update for the G7 G-Sync, and still doesn't) so I had to do it manually. Also, make sure to download the latest firmware for it. Oh, and really pray that you got a good unit that is largely flicker free. I cannot go back to any other monitor after using it, even with the curve. Samsung has smashed it, hats off

The picture-by-picture might be a suitable substitute for multitasking - two 2560x1440 screens from different outputs could mean I plug both into my GPU for basically two monitors when I want to be multitasking. Otherwise, one big wide screen for racing. I looked it up and it as a 100x100 VESA mounting layout, so I could consider mounting this on my racing rig. I hope they fix that flicking during HDR.
