This was an awesome video, the fact that you took time to make another video answering questions and being helpful to your viewers is dope. I respect this channel so much after this.

[@PeteMatheson]

Ah thanks so much Michael! It's hard work but when I got so many questions, it's difficult to reply to every single one of them so thought I'd save them all for a video response :) I'm loving making these types of videos - will plan to do more ! Thanks again man

[@Battleneter]

He still hasn't quite got it right around GPU's, the RTX 4090 will absolutely still be consistently faster than 7900XTX with this display (although a lot more expensive), however due to the lower display port on the 4090 it can't "technically" hit 240hs/fps unlike the 7900XTX that can. Neither card has the grunt to do this reliably however.

Thank you for this video, answered everything I needed to know after setting up my screen last night.

This is the Ultimate Review. I can't imagine someone would need to watch anything else! Watching this, I could completely decide if this is for me or not! I don't need this monitor at the moment but it was great to see where tech has come. :)

Fantastic video and follow up :)

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@V0lk]

All these superwide monitors are something you buy and then "grow into" as you upgrade. I've had a G9 for 2 years and love it. As I upgrade my hardware, I'll get more use from the features. Older games run great. Just wait until you're on a Nvidia 5000 series card.

[@dayjeremy]

My system was already top of the line before I got my first ultrawide. Hardly something that I'm going to grow into. If your system cannot handle 4k gaming, you should not be buying these monitors as your money will be much better spent on other upgrades.

[@mhm35]

Will I hate myself for taking the plunge on a 3060 Ti? 😂 I have been plenty happy doing 1080p gaming but hate it for productivity. So I keep weighing the idea of getting the G9 for productivity, putting up with black bars or downscaling resolution for gaming, and upgrading my rig to crank more pixels down the road.

[@iamthemobey]

Great video. I will be getting one to doc a m2 air to 👍🏻

[@ThePeterR66]

superb video. thank you

[@PeteMatheson]

Glad you liked it!

[@Niodium]

The daft 1m DP cable is a pain, but other than that, I’m loving this monitor. I’ve upgraded from an old, beloved 32” Benq 1440 screen, and I love having the extra space. I’m primarily using it for non-gaming uses at the moment, but it will also be a gaming screen. I was considering a second 32” screen, an OLED 4k one probably but I’ve always found 2 screens is a pain unless one is definitely subsidiary and off to one side, because there is always some sort of bezel right in the middle at the ideal spot for your eyes.

[@itguy5192]

Great video !!!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@youtubekezza1333]

Regarding PBP refresh rates and the vertical line you can get rid of the line with nVidia's "surround" feature. It tricks the OS into thinking it is a single monitor of DUHD and not two UHD (4K) monitors in PBP mode, which improves the experience massively as the wallpaper, maximising etc works as if you had a single input.

[@lynchmob72]

Mine will be at my local Best Buy this weekend. For some reason, i couldn't get this monitor delivered to my house. I live in a city, near other big cities so that seemed a bit strange, but luckily Best Buy doesn't have that problem. Just a heads up to my fellow Americans ... the delivery date for the monitor arm he is using is set to arrive between Nov. 28th - Jan 26th. So be prepared to wait. All in all im excited to get it.

Great video, thanks! Have you tried using your BenQ ScreenBar Halo with this 57“ G9 too? Does it work just like it did with the 49“?

[@dylanoverstreet90]

I just wish we could get a monitor with this resolution and refresh rate along with productivity in mind. Things like built in Ethernet, power delivery over USB-C, and proper one button kvm to switch all peripherals and video input would be worth the 2k price tag.

[@dayjeremy]

Why would you need ethernet on a productivity monitor? The only ones the benefit from it are the monitors with a smart TV built-in.

[@redbaronlast]

@@dayjeremy Easy, you might need the fastest and most stable internet connection possible, which is always gonna be Ethernet. For example for very large file transfers. I had to wait 45min yesterday doing filetransfers to my workplace server (from home). At around 300mb/s (over wireless). My ethernet would have been around three times faster.

[@mygotiger]

Amazing! Thank you! More power to you my guy!

[@siavash3135]

Thanks a lot for all the work you do regarding this monitor. I am planning to buy it in the comming days but Im still worried about the arm. Could you please let me know what is the depth and the length of your Desk ? Just for me to get an idea

[@JustinGoffinet]

@petematheson at 12:20 you mentioned a reddit post for disassembling the included stand, it seems like that's only applicable to prior models, as the 57" stand's pivot joint seemingly no longer lines up with the mount on the ergotron arm bolt hole.

[@computercockpit]

This monitor is very welcomed by our customers of our chair cockpit … many of them asking if our Manticore chair can support the G9 monitor . The Answer is Yes.

[@v3zMedia]

Just got the 49" OLED version and it's amazing after you you sit in front of it and get used to resolution for a day. My only issue so far is the DP Port is unusable and even the HDMI had weird glitches at times. Even using the cable that came with it. I ordered some VESA Approved cables to see if it resolves it. If not it may be an excuse to send it back and grab this one while it's on sale. 😅

[@slowinfastout3304]

I returned my 49 because of the DP. There’s a $999 non-smart version now which should eliminate port switching issues. Also been thinking of the 57 but the matte finish as seen here is a dealbreaker

[@marshinz5696]

The Cable is Garbage. Got a 16k certified one and the Flicker I always heard about vanished.

[@v3zMedia]

@@marshinz5696 yeah I got my new Cable yesterday and like you said the monitor is working flawlessly now. Samsung is better off not shipping them with a cable at all then allowing this to make their monitors seem like they're of poor quality control. Extreme stupidity by a Billion dollar company.

[@massaBeard]

I had the same issue, it's 100% your cable. Since you're using DSC, you need a really robust high quality cable. Mine has been working fine ever since.

[@v3zMedia]

@@massaBeard yeah it's been 5 days since I switched cable. Not a single glitche ever since. Haven't played a game on it yet but I just got Cyberpunk while it was on sale. I'll run this on my 4080 and hopefully there's still no glitches.

[@Cryptokat]

I gotta ask.... perhaps late in the day but here goes..... And a Fantastic Review by the way, I really enjoyed it. What made me a little nervous, is that I didn't have any protection to remove from the front of the screen, but did have some protection to remove of the back of the screen - which is weird. I wonder if any fellow owners had the same packaging issues.... I'm nervous that my monitor isn't new.... (I'm now asking this question in pretty much all reviews / unboxing of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" - and might decide to send mine back!)

[@PeteMatheson]

Where did you buy it from? Have you emailed their customer service first?

[@dangauci]

Atdec AWMS-BT40 monitor mount officially supports this screen.

[@PCPAyLOAD]

If you would have paired your 7900xtx with a Ryzen 7800x3d or higher x3d CPU, you would have been able to use the smart access memory feature which without over explanation, would have boosted your FPS. Not up to 240 FPS fast but a noticeable amount.

[@jspeaksofficial]

Just the video I was looking for. I was debating on the 49" OLED model or this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@PeteMatheson]

Very welcome man! Glad it helped. Which one are you gonna go with?

[@jspeaksofficial]

@@PeteMatheson im thinking the 57”. I wanted OLED, but I like the screen real estate on the G9.

[@PeteMatheson]

I think it's worth it. A shame to not have OLED, but the resolution is SO useful

[@daniil3815]

[@drunkhusband6257]

If gaming go with the OLED model, better picture quality, and lower resolution making it easier to run.

[@andriikhomenko4541]

I’ve bought this monitor for my M1 Pro. You can connect via hdmi and get 120 hz So I use pbp, one side via thunderbolt to display port (4k 120), second side thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and you need to flash a custom firmware for this adapter(not a big deal. It takes 30 mins) and hdmi 2.1 cable and you will get 4k 120 hz as well.

[@patrickheemskerk2649]

Could you provide some info about the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter you use and what firmware you needed to update? Thx in advance 🙏

[@Philomathe]

Hello, that sounds great! Which adapter are you using and which custom firmware? Also does it solve the « vertical line »/« color shift » in the middle of the screen?

[@H4GRlD]

PiP would be awesome on this if it supported 3 screens and let the user choose some layout presets. Anyway thanks for the video 😊

[@PeteMatheson]

Agreed! Not many will do 3 way PIP though :)

[@eriusg]

The best arm for this monitor is the M VESA Deskmount HD Single 32"-50 they also have a version for dual monitors

[@mytrung]

I work with two Mac’s for two different jobs and a pc for games. I’m looking into getting a dock that works with the full 8k resolution and getting more than 30hz. My thoughts are to plug the display port to my PC and use the doc to swap between my two Mac’s. Haven’t found a dock that works with 8k 120hz or greater. But also not sure if this is the best setup for this use case either

[@msisgreat]

Could you make a video to demonstrate the features of PIP? What's the maximum number of screens we can input at once? Does it support 3 screens or 2 screens

[@DwarfishSpy]

Awesom vid

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@simhawk3986]

I'm loving this monitor... I've had it about 2 weeks or so.. Didn't think I would like it this much. The 4090 is the way to go if you can afford it... The whole 240hz debacle is overblown because there isn't a consumer GPU from team red/green that can push this monitor anywhere close to 240hz at native resolutions or with upscaling options. 120hz is perfect for now.. when that 5090 comes out I will definitely be buying that in order to really push this monitor. Oh and I have no problem running PBP modes at 120 on each side in full 4k resolutions. Even when I had two hdmi 2.1 devices connected there wasn't any issues pushing the monitor at 120hz 4k. No HDR of course or VRR. But still that is the best way to console game on this monitor. Great vid as always Pete!!!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thanks for letting me know about PBP 120hz! I'll try it a few more times, every combination I tried always gave me 60/120! The 7900XTX does get there, but I think in some games you'd get better FPS with the 4090 at 120hz. I'm hoping to get the 5090 on release to try that out as well. Appreciate the comments, cheers for watching dude!

[@drunkhusband6257]

Even a 4090 isn't enough for 7680x2160, nor will future gpus. It's a dead end unless you like getting horrible fps in basically anything new.

[@MnDogman]

I disagree, if you like image crispness but don’t like the high quality graphics you can turn down the settings to get high fps 4k with a 4090 easily

[@drunkhusband6257]

This monitor isn't 4k though, it's dual 4k, 7680x2160, double the pixels of 4k@@MnDogman

[@MrDutch1e]

That's ridiculous to say it's the way to go when it doesn't get 240hz. Even if you're not getting the full 240fps you can get around 150-180 in plenty of games. It's not worth spending more for a GPU that nerfs your monitor. I'd rather get the 240hz and have the full available VRR range. Not to mention fsr/dlss exists.

[@the_diamant]

I have the "M VESA Deskmount HD Dual Vertical 32"-55". Not sure if it works for the new 57" but for the old g9 oled 49" it works stacked.

[@ajkandy]

Hi Pete! Thanks so much for this review. Just curious, what kind of desk are you using? I'm currently considering this monitor and I have a 72" Jarvis standing desk that's starting to get a little crowded with dual monitors and some audio gear - I'm starting to think I need something around 100" wide now! Cheers.

[@mhm35]

I also am curious about how large his desk is. 57” screen plus those bookshelf speakers and the rig sitting up top takes up a lot of width I’d bet.

[@wernermuller3394]

I run my 57" as two monitors side by side both at 120hz with an Nvidia 4070ti with no visible line in between, even when I centre a window across the middle of the two screens. I use HDMI ports 2 & 3 for this.

[@buckythedog]

Hi Pete, have you tried installing the BenQ Screenbar Halo on the 57”? I’m considering getting one but unsure if it’s ideal, given the size of the 57”

[@bs_art3625]

Great video Pete, I'm hoping you can answer a question for me about the KVM capabilities. When working between two separate PCs in PBP/PIP mode, does the single mouse and keyboard switch seamlessly and automatically, like can you simply drag your mouse across the PBP border and start working on the other PC? Or do you have to hit a button to switch over the Keyboard and mouse input?

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey! Thanks for watching / commenting. You have to manually do this with the controls under the screen - Unless you install some form of screen sharing software on both machines. Logitech MX Keys & Mouse also have this built in so they can do this with their software between Mac & PC etc - works pretty well!

Hmm. I think 2x 34" ultrawide is wiser for now still. Pushing 3440x1440@120 is a sweet spot for gaming without overheating the room and within reasonable budget. Plus bare for sim racing, 32:9 is actually mostly a con, hud excentered, too much mouse travel etc. "Sweet spot" is a real thing an 21:9 is where it's at imho.

Another thing - that "HiDPI" thing that you see next to resolutions on a Mac, I don't see that for the 5120 x 1440 resolution, I think that's simply because Apple has NOT patched the OS to deal with this resolution, and that's why we don't get the advanced scaling options.

What do you get with HDMI? I’ve had issues with usb c to displayport cables even with my Mac Studio. Direct HDMI seems to give you the best results

Oled or the neo(vs) screen for gaming and vid/photo editing and a litle bit productivity like 2 hours a week any advise ?

[@jiakeliu]

How’s the sun glare? Since this is a matte screen it should be better than the glossy OLED right?

[@WingsOfAnemia]

Hey Pete, thanks for the follow up! I have a g9 Neo, and my desk depth is 29”. Do you think that’s big enough for the 57”?

[@PeteMatheson]

That's deeper than my desk - so I would say yes BUT you may want the desk mount instead of using the stand, since the legs will eat into your desk space a fair bit!

[@WingsOfAnemia]

@@PeteMatheson Thanks Pete! I've already got the ergotron hx mount, and it's a game changer. I wouldn't use this monitor without the mount to be honest. That's all I needed to pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for your help!

Fancy Zones + borderless gaming can get you to where you want to be for a screen in the middle

[@Visher]

Seems like a pain for games that don't let you scale the resolution very easily. Is there not a monitor that allows you to do this without the use of fancyzones or another 3rd party program? I simply want this screen size and be able to play a game "fullscreen" in the middle with apps open on either side of it. Cant seem to find that.

hi, which version of minecraft were you playing? Java or Bedrock (from the Microsoft store)

[@PeteMatheson]

Bedrock from the Microsoft store for this example :)

[@patrickrenschler5972]

Have you tried using an 8k USB-C to Display Port cable on your M1 Max? That's what I currently use with my M1 Max laptop on my 49" Samsung and I get 5120 × 1440 native resolution.

[@macjee3485]

Any chance you can share your complete new PC build? Cheers !

[@galwright7853]

Sim Racers Dream Monitor.

[@PeteMatheson]

I’ve been thinking about that… not sure if I want another expensive hobby lol

[@SupanatGame55]

in gaming, does the picture scale looks reasonable or it looks funny with 32:9 ratio, should i buy it for gaming? or i should by normal 16:9 4K 240hz instead?

[@cflores9438]

Im still not sure if I should get this monitor or a new 32 inch oled like the gigabyte one coming out. Especially if I wanna pick up streaming.

[@moravianlion3108]

One would expect to get the latest technology, when paying over $1600 for a GPU. I guess I will remain team red for the foreseeable future.

[@jannis11]

nice

[@Xsetsu]

I have one of the really early HD Pivot's and it doesn't support the monitor. I don't know if it is just because it is an early revision or if some will support and others will not.

[@user-ge1fr6cb1z]

Hey pete 👋 in the 5120x1440 you get 240 hz on the m2 mac?

[@TommasoValentini]

Hey Pete, could you share more info on the components of your new desktop pc build? Thanks

[@PeteMatheson]

Of course! It’s all here 👍🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqqc6OCiNCihrM

[@TommasoValentini]

@@PeteMatheson Thanks a lot!

[@vidarCRC]

This monitor it's gonna be great for the 6090 and up. Is this crazy bright like the 49" Neo G9 on HDR Dynamic?

[@MattThatMatters]

I'm torn between getting this currently on sale at around $1500 or waiting for these very promising but normal aspect ratio OLEDs at around $1200. What would you do?

[@solracosouturf9939]

Hi, what do you think about the mat finish ? i use a XDR display and i'm afraid to be disappointed by the mat finish, thanks , regards

[@PeteMatheson]

It seems to be a very dividing personal opinion. I don't mind it, I'd rather not have all the reflections from bright light around me. But others prefer the glossy finish

[@GabrielThaArchAngel]

with your m2 can you use it id double display mode with both at 120hz?

[@JohnPapola]

Question: I just got the display for my M2 Max (soon to be M3 Max) and noticed that the highest non-native resolution choice is 3840x1080 (doubling the native 8K2K). It's sharp, but makes the UI much bigger than I'm used to. Any work around to get a medium-large scaled resolution closer to 1440 high? This is what I preferred on my LG 5K2K 34" ultra wide to more closely match the UI size of an Apple native interface.

[@PeteMatheson]

For me it’s always been to do with the cable you’re using. I used a USB C to DisplayPort cable which gave me the full resolution. What’re you using?

[@SebastianBoguszewicz]

@@PeteMatheson So, does the MacBook Pro M3 or Mac Studio M2, when using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, support the full resolution of this monitor (7,680 x 2,160)?

[@Harshthe007]

When using Amd graphic card please suggest the driver versions as well
