Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49" Gaming Monitor!

Finally, a new G9 Odyssey review.

[@Kentaku3]

I know right? I'm so surprised more reviewers arent picking it up for reviews

[@Kentaku3]

Have this monitor for a few months now. Its great. One thing I dont like is if you are using it in a room with a TV (I have a Samsung TV near my monitor) it will pick up all IR remote control devices within 20 feet and theres no way to go around this unless you physically block the IR receiver on the monitor (I used a piece of aluminum foil cover) so be aware of that if you are putting it in a living room. Otherwise its amazing. Love the OLED.

[@Ph_Lorenzo]

In terms of desktop use/productivity/gaming, do you suffer a lot from burn in or can I rest easy? Usually in monitors I always use 40% brightness

[@ultimatesunrise]

just bought this monitor on a flash sale new for $1000 at best buy. oled is incredible. i didn't think it would look this great on 1440p!

[@squirrelsinjacket1804]

Honestly I'm sure it looks good, but for the price it not being 2160 vertical is a deal breaker for me. Hoping next generation of these they finally go with a QD-OLED panel, 240hz, DP 2.1, and the full 2160 res as well.

You joke (maybe), but you'd be surprised just how exemplary these monitors are for day-to-day tasks. I'm a writer by trade, so I can have three windows open at once and not have to Alt-Tab back and forth. When I'm done, I'll boot up Photoshop and have all that space to arrange my toolsets, load After Effects and Premiere side-by-side, Ableton, whatever. I have never used a monitor that is so absolutely brilliant for everyday tasks.

[@DJ-HGLegacy]

I just picked this up for $889 pre-tax at Best buy. I bought an open box that was an excellent condition and when I opened it, it was an amazing condition. It looks amazing and so far can't really find any issues with it. Glad I bought it.

[@S4_QUATTROPOWER]

The lack of DP 2.1 vs the last gen 1.4 being on this monitor is what really holds me back, other than that, Shes beautiful

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

dont quite need DP2.1 for a monitor with a resolution that is less than any 4k monitor.

[@Helifax19]

DP 1.4 works fine even with 240Hz via DSC (Display Stream Compression)

[@TylerN945]

Don't need DP 2.1 unless you're running a 4k super ultrawide or QHD super ultrawide beyond 240Hz

[@Nightykk]

That is one silly thing to not include on a brand new top of the line - 'more expensive than a 65" OLED TV' - monitor, you're right. Same as with the other G9's. You can do 5120x1440 at 240Hz with DSC though, yeah. But, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to compress it purely for the sake of compressing it.

[@XeqtrM1]

​@@Nightykkagain as the other said you don't need display port on a 1440p monitor plus never ever compare price to tv because no tv has 240 Hz plus tv been out much longer then a monitor so basically OLED tech been out on tv Way before monitors got it

[@MillenniumFalcon]

Thank you. Great details and feedback. Wish this thing had an audio jack and more HDMI ports.

[@GuitarsCarsandBikes]

I was looking at so many different screens and this one was the best choice. It’s more but it’s great. I play Battlefield 2042 and it’s an amazing view. If your video card is not up to it don’t bother. However if you have a gaming rig this is the one. I have no issues on web browsers reading text either. People complained about that. I saw zero issues. It’s beautiful. Even the speakers are fine. The backlighting is cool too it must be activated in the games menu. Overall great item.

[@MaestroDraven]

Most modern games offer 32:9 support right out of the box. Others you can simply play pillar-boxed at the normal aspect ratio. There's a ton of versatility in these monitors, but yes, newer games benefit more from it. Older games may have 32:9 support but you might notice a "fish-eye" effect on the left and right sides. This can be remedied by jacking up the FOV to maximum in most games. That being said.......you'll get used to it within a week and it won't be noticeable anymore.

Just more truer darks, coming from someone with the original odyssey g9 49" monitor to the OLED. Main difference is the dark colors, its a noticeable difference, the base space it takes is a smaller area and the black brick that comes with it. However with the original g9, it looked more "gamer" (back LED colors are brighter and cooler looking/white, and it was a bit brighter than this OLED and I have the settings at max. I can tell due to my room being dark most of the time. The OLED suffers from brightness when comparing to the original g9 49". The OLED looks more "office-y".
