Is this the 57" Odyssey Neo G95NC Curved QLED DUHD Gaming Monitor ?

[@ColinDyckes]

Unfortunately you're looking through a 'letterbox' as it just doesn't have the height of display, even with you sitting that close. I'll stick with my 48inch LG OLED. 120Hz VRR is all you need. Combine with TrackIR or Tobii and it's brilliant for gaming.

[@HassanAlHajry]

Great video man. The light leak though like at 13:27 would drive me nuts, OLED is much superior Dream Monitor for me = 21:9 Ultrawide 38 at 5120 x 2160 240HZ.Currently using the G9 OLED

[@PeteMatheson]

It’s a fair point! But unless you’re playing a lot of dark games with piercing whites it’s not that noticeable. But agree, OLED is of course going to be better. I just want this in oled and with usb c! 😬

[@Grammostola]

That's the camera, especially at an angle. I haven't been able to spot a single light leak during my testing. Even the classic white on black haloing is very very subtle.

[@CatNoirVR]

Yep, can confirm@@Grammostola. You won't see any light leaks when sitting in front of the monitor. Zero. You can see some when sitting at an angle but that's normal.

[@andrewcalderwood6102]

Currently even a 4090 rig cannot drive that monitor at 240hz. Due to a NVidia not supporting the latest versions of DP. You would actually need to go with an AMD Card to unlock the higher refresh rate. (but it probably wont be able to actually push that many frames)

[@emiel255]

Well you usually buy a monitor to keep for many years anyway so next year the 50 series will come out with presumably the DP 2.1 port so this monitor will be unlocked to it’s fullest potential port wise

[@evaone4286]

Nvidia doesn't support it yet on 40 series? How bout 30 or 20?

[@supernova82]

The more graphic-intensive games you play, the fewer fps you will get. When people talk about 240hz or 500hz, it doesn't mean much because every game will get a different number of FPS. In which game do you want to achieve 240hz and even if NVIDIA supports it, is your graphics card actually able to generate that many FPS?

[@daphoosa]

Seems this could still work with a 4090 by using PBP and two cables. It should be possible to drive each side to 240hz (if the game isn't too demanding). Nvidia supports combining two monitors to make one virtual monitor so applications and games would treat it as a single monitor. I don't own one of these, so I might be wrong.

[@joshuaevans3501]

@@daphoosa unfortunately just like the g9 oled which I own the whole monitor can only do 240hz per display. So pbp is limited to 120hz via dp or hdmi2. 1 I've tried this on my 4090 but makes sense as having a controler on board a monitor capable of 580hz and all that bandwidth would be costly rnd

[@TeunSegers]

Thank you for productivity feedback. I don't care that much about the refresh, this is simply the only monitor with this kind of resolution, PPI and curve. No USB-C is asinine, but adapters can resolve it. To prospective buyers: The price will probably drop significantly in a few month like usual.

[@thames21]

Sometimes I'm baffled by how fast after a release of a product the price already drops significantly. Definitely worth to wait a bit.

[@SFX99]

I'm thinking of waiting for the Black Friday sales. Do you reckon it'll come down by then?

[@TeunSegers]

I have since bought this monitor and I'm very happy... Mostly. I thought there would be some type of KVM functionality but that doesn't seem to be a thing. I attached a USB-C dock and that works, but swichting is inelegant at best. So it works, but it's not very flexible and you need to use the OSD every time AFAIK.

[@etjulien]

💯

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you! Yep - likewise. The G9 has been my favourite screen - and now there's a 57"... insanely good!

[@GraphicallyChallenged]

There’s a lot of misinformation in this video, but here are 2 big ones. 1. The 4080 does support HDMI 2.1, but Nvidia has issues with Display Stream Compression which is limiting it to 120Hz. You currently need an RX 7000 series GPU with DisplayPort 2.1 to run this at 240Hz. 2. A matte screen is the worst possible choice for this as we can measure a very large hit to clarity, contrast, and perceived vibrancy vs something like what they used on the OLED G9. It also doesn’t stop reflections, it diffuses them into larger areas of light.

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey man, appreciate the comments. I wouldn't know re: 4080 - I've got a 2080! Hoping to upgrade to a 4090 or possibly the RX - currently figuring out which is best to build. 2. Honestly I prefer the matte screen over glaring reflections. It may diffuse it into larger areas of light, but when using the screen I can't see any form of reflections, diffused or not - so I'd call that a win :) Like I said in the video, I'm not one to benchmark and get into all the nitty gritty. But I am someone who uses this screen for a good 6-8 hours every day, and I've used every single version of the previous gen 49" G9 models - so hope that perspective is useful to people watching!

[@ChewyMustaineReviews]

@@PeteMatheson if you upgrade to a 4090 you will still capped at 120hz. you need a 5090(not released yet) or a RX 7000 series (7950 for that res...)

[@Alabogaz]

I bought the 49 inch one, it does not support display port connection. The graphics card is Ndivia 4080 super. I am trying to return it but Samsung is stalling me. Shopping from Samsung is a regret.

[@Helifax19]

FYI: The RTX 4090 is limited to DP 1.4 (like the RTX 4080). But they both have HDMI 2.1. So you should be able to push max resolution @240Hz via HDMI. Personal experience: The OLED G9 is hands down the best gaming monitor I currently own (and I have the original CRG9 from 2019 and another G9 Odyssey, but the OLED G9 just blows all the others into bits ^_^). Sure the OLED would have been a bit better with the 1000R curve, but even the 1800R curve is fine (or I just got used to it?) I don't really see a big difference when going to my other 1000R screen though :D

[@Mr_Latte_UK]

Its not just about OLED quality. You are missing the point that this screen has much more real estate for multitasking. Also has much higher PPI and the larger screen size is more immersive for gaming. A lot of people will compensate on pure image quality for these other benefits including no worries with screen burn.

[@Helifax19]

Ok.. No, I don't believe I am actually. I am talking about image quality in gaming, not how many windows I can put on thw screen at the same time.

[@JoeMama-yl1ow]

the reson oled does not need 1000r is that it is not a va panel hence why they need the 1800r curve on va panels

Thanks for the great video and the information for mac users. May I ask have you met any other problem with using MacOS? Like many other monitors would have some flicker or waking up problem so I'm a little worried about it. I just bought a Mac Studio M2 to replace my iMac 27', I'm struggling in buying Odyssey G9 or 2x Studio Displays, do you have any suggestions?

[@PeteMatheson]

Very welcome! It does have an issue with waking up - I have an M2 Studio now and if the mac goes to sleep it then doesn't come back when waking the screen back up. Fixed by disconnecting HDMI and then re-connecting from the back of the Mac. But it also sometimes messes with the resolution which needs a full restart to solve. So I tend to avoid it going to sleep where I can!

[@klaymoon1]

Great review! I was also interested in productivity use of Samsung Odyssey G9. Thanks!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you! :)

[@JaggarTharn]

Even a RTX 4090 doesn't support 2x 4K at 240Hz ! It has DP1.4 so no chance there, you'd have to use the HDMI 2.1 but even that one can't support that max resolution at 240Hz. The only way it will actually work full resolution at 240Hz is by enabling Display Stream Compression between the Nvidia 4090 and the screen but they're not compatible yet. We can just hope updated drivers will come to enable that.

[@PeteMatheson]

Just reading up on this - hopefully the update comes out soon, otherwise it looks like I'll be waiting for the 50 series! 😬

I just ordered the 49" g9 odyssey from Amazon for 899. Be here in 3 days. I've had triple monitor setup before, (3) 32" 1080p Samsung. I have a 40" 4k tv now and was hesitant on giving up 6 inches of vertical real estate, but we'll see. Plus, I'm going to mount the 40" above this for my movies.

[@stickosapien]

I think at this point they'd benefit from a multi-foot stand instead of the single arm. Like maybe 2 feet on the outer part and a single peg/foot in the center so that it can save some room (while also still having the normal monitor mounting socket)

[@TheeRighteousOnee]

Can most PC games fit the 57" resolution? I fear I would experience the black borders on the sides of the screen with a lot of games if they can't support that screen size.

Wish it was an OLED. I know it has thousands of dimming zones but still noticed some blooming

[@PenguFKnight]

10:09 That's exactly what I want a super ultrawide for and I've been asking for if anyone can do it. I know you didn't do it intentionally(or maybe you did), I'd like to say THANK YOU!! Now I can finally safely pre-order it here. I've a 2080ti myself so getting a monitor like that with such a GPU seems silly right now, but I intend to wait for the RTX50 series that's coming in late 2024/ early 2025 so that I'll have full access to the DP 2.1 capabilities. Until then I'd most likely use it in a 16:9 in the middle with two horizontal screens at the side.

[@Adrian-ep4qm]

such a waste tbh

[@PenguFKnight]

​@@Adrian-ep4qm It is. But it's obvious that with the Neo G9, you're really future proofing a lot. It's a waste for now, but honestly my neck's killing me with how I keep turning to my 2nd monitor which also has a terrible panel, the NG9 will be a very luxurious upgrade that will improve my everyday use. And technically, I can still use the ultrawide feature. I personally think it's a weird time to spring for an upgrade to my PC right now, since the 50 series is just a little over a year away(give or take a few months), and it will most likely boast a 2.1 display port.

[@PeteMatheson]

Great review... I have the 49 neo and was wondering what is the height difference from top to bottom of 49 vs 57?

[@Voklesh85]

I owned the Odyssey Neo G9 49" and I no longer believed it was possible for me to get excited about a change of monitor again. I've had the 57" for about 4 hours and I can't help but stay glued to it. The cm gained in height make the image finally perfect and after updating the firmware and setting the colors and HDR the result is incredible. Particular note should be made on black colours. Never seen such "black" black colors without OLED technology. In triple A games even my 4090 struggles in some cases to stay above 60-70 fps so I find the Diplay port 2.0 issue totally marginal at the moment given that I don't play competitively. While waiting for the 5090 to be able to make more use of this jewel, I can only recommend it without any doubt to all lovers of the 32:9 format. Given Samsung's well-known quality control problems, the monitor does not present any problems.

In response to your “I’ll answer every question” statement, why don’t you give us a brief summary of why you prefer this over the 49 oled even though the oled has better colours? I’m also curious to know if the 4K helps bridge the image quality gap with the 1440p oled

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey! 👋🏼 I use my screen 90% of the time for work. So having the extra resolution, combined with the bigger overall size means I can fit more on the screen, and it’s in higher quality with higher PPI. Definitely prefer the 4k resolution. But it’s definitely a choice between OLED colours and this. But I’d take the size, resolution & PPI over the oled.

[@67steinip]

@@PeteMatheson This is the review I was hoping for especially the 10 minute part about productivity, I like what you say "bigger and higher quality", I dare you to open up some old software that hasn't been updated for years ;D and see if it even appears on the screen or if it's a dot in the corner.. like something like "IP Camera 4" haha

Been pondering about getting this for a couple a weeks now.

This was the only monitor I could find with proper 4k resolution at 240hz but the price was too much (£2199)…until today when I found it online for £1500. That’s £700 cheaper! Needless to say I’m ecstatic. I may make a video on it once I have it hooked up to the MacBook. Just hope the graphics card does the monitor justice!

10:30 how is the backlight bleed situation for productivity where you use dark themes? Please compare to G9 OLED. Is it as bad as Odyssey G7? I used that for productivity but it was unusable for any dark mode/dark theme because backlight bleed was so obtrusive that you cannot ignore it, basically you see BLB in one spot with the left eye and in another spot with the right eye, and just rotating slightly your eyeball causes the spots to move 💀

I have a 4090 under water block but have done the math and 7680x2160 is 125% more pixels or double + 25% so in games with RT this will more than halve my performance. That and i would also need to wait for Ergotrons updated HD pivot. $2k is a lot of money to part with.

My only complaint is the cable length. The power cord is like 2 feet long and specifically says “do not use extension cord”. Better hope your desk has an outlet in the center.

[@supremepc6298]

Im on the fence on this one. Whats the max resolution and refresh rate running on a rtx 4090?

[@PeteMatheson]

7680 x 2140 at 120hz on the 4090. Hopefully the 5090 will do 240. OR, you can drop the resolution to get 240hz.

[@StrikersUK]

FYI dude, the 4090 doesn't support that screen at 240hz currently either. Only graphics card that does with any kind of decent frame-rates is the 7900XTX. Which is within about 15% performance of a 4090 in rasterization performance but £600 cheaper. But you'd need to get a top end one like a Sapphire Nitro + to get it that close to a 4090 in performance.

[@orangejumpsuit6905]

That is odd, given my 3080Ti runs this monitor at 240hz everyday lol.

[@StrikersUK]

@@orangejumpsuit6905 Pretty sure it doesn't as none of the ports on that card have anywhere near the bandwidth required

Any recommendation where to sale or trade in a 49' G9?

[@TheShizCat]

Hello, I'd like to ask a question. For productivity you've set this monitor up as two seperate side by side 32inch monitors but you mentioned you can almost treat it as a triple monitor because of how large it is. Is it possible to set up a central 32inch monitor with two side monitors? A triple virtual desktop with the centre screen with task bar at the bottom? I imagine the centre used for your main focused work or game, one sode for work chats and emails or discord and another side for a web browser or document or video, something like that? Thank you for your time.

[@PeteMatheson]

Unfortunately not unless you can do it with software. I’m using Picture by Picture which allows 2 sources to be shown at most. You can’t do 3 sources.

[@IgorEngelen1974]

have one of the older 49" ultrawides connected to my mac mini m1. It's home working paradise. 2 virtual desktops open next to each other.

[@EmreKizilkanat]

What can we get out of this monitor if we set it up like this. Macbook M1 pro 16 2x thunderbolt to displayport 1.4 cable And the monitor set to display 2 source at once? İs Dual 4K @144hz without any bar in between is possible?

[@redsamurai6586]

Can’t wait! I’ll pick it up this time next year 😂 should be half off of this price 😛

[@GodlikeVallenrod]

I have MacBook Pro with Touch Bar from 2018, thunderbolt 3 ports. Can I connect my MacBook to Samsung Odyssey G9 and run it on max available resolution this monitor provides?

[@videogamephenomhd]

This monitor might be an absolute behemoth, but even if not used for gaming, it might be more suitable for NASA space centers and company control rooms.

[@Spawny500]

0:29 Nice Spyderco!

[@PeteMatheson]

hah! Thanks - good spot :)

[@sirab3ee198]

just bought the 48gq900-b for £799.00 with extended 5 years warranty and the OLED screen is amazing. I am coming from and ultrawide legion y44w-10 43.4 and love my new monstrosity.

[@1160wILlArD]

So from th evideos I've seen, it looks like the scenery is """stretched""" quite a bit. I starting to look at upgrading for MSFS and wonder about 3 identical monitors to reduce the risk of that stretch. Appreciate your point of view

[@FionatheFiend]

Just got my Samsung Neo G9 57" today and I love it! I'm going to mount my 49" Neo G9 above it on the wall next week. The only disappointment is my 4090 does not support 240 hertz; But really it's not that big of a deal. Now I cant wait for the 5090. I love this Monitor.

[@apelectrive]

What is with G-Sync? Had the Neo G9 57 supported g-snyc?

[@KingRocco7]

Is there any GPU on the market at the moment that supports 240 Hz with this monitor?

[@GG-gr2px]

How on Earth can you draw a straight line in Photoshop, or AutoCAD and align that with other lines, when everything is curved?

[@PeteMatheson]

I believe the 1000R curve matches more of the curve of your eyeball. But basically, when you're sat right in front of it, it looks straight. If that makes sense!

[@Mr_Latte_UK]

Watched this several times, excellent. Would be nice to know what size in diagonal inches the monitor offers with: 16:9 Movies / TV / Gaming 2:35 Movies

[@headlibrarian1996]

What's the office setup? Desk/chair/keyboard/etc/

[@Silverwing_99]

Thanks so much for this, I’m really tempted to get this. Can i ask, i currently have a triple monitor setup, ie iMac with 2 4k displays. I use several desktops or spaces per screen, ie one for calendar, emails, things, then usually have studio, python, word, ever note and safari on the others. What is it like using multiple spaces ie virtual desktops on a ultrawide screen

[@PeteMatheson]

Very welcome man! I find it works quite well - I generally use a space for personal stuff, one for work etc. I have the shortcut on my MX Mouse to be on my thumb so I can hold my thumb down and swipe left / right to switch spaces quickly.

[@marshallSGM]

I also have an odyssey G9 but a 49 inch and I’ve also on a couple of other odyssey G9s. And I’ve noticed sometimes when just turning on the monitor, you’ll get these horizontal blurred outlines across the whole screen and way to fix it is to unplug the monitor and plug it back in or power the monitor down and then back on again or if leave it alone for about five minutes and it will disappear. Does this happen on the new 57 inch version of the odyssey G9.???? your videos is only eighth days old, so maybe it hasn’t happened yet or maybe they fix the issue, in any case I would like to know if this is happened?

[@PeteMatheson]

Known issue that happened with earlier generations of the 49" G9 - I've not experience that on any of mine other than when I bought the original G9 a couple of years back

[@shhmasood]

Subscribed! please keep it original and no free samples! this way you get to say what you feel like rather being "diplomatic"

[@Razumasu]

How does the monitor handle the scaling issues that Mac often runs into? It usually looks okay on a 5120x1440 resolution but goes weird when you are not doing 1440. Have you had any issues or blurry text?

[@PeteMatheson]

No issues at all works perfectly in PBP mode (aside from the weird colour issues)

[@Paul-zo9sg]

Hi Pete! Love your channel and videos. To the point, smart, funny. You doing a great job! May I ask for your advice? So at the end, is it worth to buy this 57-inch (connecting to Mac and Ps5) or 49 would work just as well? Gaming - not so much (and most likely I'll get laser projector soon anyway). Productivity - excel, charts. I was really happy with G9 Neo (49*). Sold it a while ago. Going to move soon and need a new monitor.

[@PietroPizzi]

If you get a better GPU test if the Scanline-Issue with higher frequancies still exist!? And does it work to Switch inputs and picture modes with DDC/CI commands over DP?

[@itzrezz1247]

hey how do you play movies or videos like that at 1:48, windowed version but borderless somehow... been trying to do stuff like that on 45 inch but just dont find it

[@PeteMatheson]

That's a Mac feature when you watch something on Apple TV, there's no borders around it :)

[@shantanuranjanverma4456]

I have a M3 MacBook Pro. Can I use two cables and use this monitor as two different separate monitors?

[@RileyBanksWho]

Is this bigger than three 32” g7’s? I want to either but two extra g7’s or a g9 57”, dont care about the bezels in the three monitor setup.

[@danielzb]

there's so many comments so I'm sorry if this was already asked, but how's the viewing angles compared to the oled g9 49 inch or any oled for that matter? Also, is the resolution too much to handle for most tripple a games?

[@PM_Ace]

Any issues with using macbook pro m1, m2, m3? And also does it do screen in screen so i could have two computers running same time?

[@bph9727]

Is there any update on getting 240hz with nVidia cards? Will I have to connect it with 2 cables to get this refresh rate, but having two logical screens? No other workarounds like SLI-like dual DP connection?

[@deathcall6663]

Theoretically, most modern GPUs have DSC, whivh stands for display stream compresion and even though nvidia is still stuck at HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 it should still have the necessary bandwidth to run 8k at 240hz. DSC has a ratio of 3.75:1 so id say it has to do with drivers and optimization rather than being a purely hardware limitation. Also a question for PETE, for gaming only (just from PC), and maybe some light YT watching would you still recommend this monitor over the oled g9?

[@PeteMatheson]

I realllly prefer the 57" size. I'd take the size and resolution over OLED. BUT - the OLED version of this would be epic.

[@deathcall6663]

@@PeteMatheson okay... I get the size part, but even at 1440p and lower PPI isn't OLED looking better? I mean isn't that contrast and extreme response time (0.003ms) making up for the downsides? I am genuinely asking because at least where I live I can't really see them on display to make a comparison side by side and stats are just numbers nothing compares to seeing them, let alone using them.

[@tpreston89]

I am curious, I know the 4080 only has DP 1.4...but it does have HDMI 2.1. Is it capable of doing full resolution at 240hz via hdmi?

[@JohnMaynardGainz]

same question--I'm confused. The samsung product page suggests HDMI 2.1 will work but says "may vary by graphics card." I have a 3090, can I get max res @ 240 hz?!

[@scottdaastol]

perfekt video again mate ! nice nice

[@PeteMatheson]

[@Vhomelab]

I believe the difference in color in the PBP can be adjusted, I am able to do so on Dell 49 under PBP option>Contrast. See if that is available on this beast and help you.

[@Tifidy]

Hey Pete thank you for the video I am using 49 inch OLED. I have been having issues connecting macbook pro 2019 to it. How did you connect yours to a mac? I am just swaping cables trial and error and going crazy sort of :)

[@kbsskb788]

Hi. I've got an older 49'', but because of an issue with these that Samsung refuses to help with, I've not wanted to buy their newer screens. Do these still have a issue with getting super hot on the sides when using "Fastest" Response Time/Ultimate Freesync when gaming? I've contacted Samsung and they just say it's normal for it to be hot, but it's so hot it hurts to touch it and there are cases when it literally melts people's screens because of the heat. So I would want to know that these issues are solved in newer screens before I'd consider buying them.

Can this monitor support 3 input sources? I want to connect 3 computers and am considering using a USB switch. What's the easiest way to switch between the inputs? Would changing the input source and switching the USB allow simultaneous access to all 3 computers?

[@mobileplayers5008]

That is crazy ultrawide screen monitor.

[@powerhouse884]

I have the Neo G9 49”…. Please tell me this 57” is taller… Please tell me it is…? I hate the shallow vertical view and i need something with better screen ratio for better height when playing.

[@PeteMatheson]

it is taller! And so much better imo :)

[@Soshi2k]

How is the heat output with this monitor? The G9 I have right now will melt your face off if used daily.

[@PeteMatheson]

😂 It gets pretty warm! But hey, it keeps your room nice and toasty in the winter?

[@vAnduCloudGaming]

I am also planning to buy this monitor. Have you tested it with your older Mac by connecting two cables to the monitor and using it in a dual monitor mode (PIP)? Would you then achieve the maximum resolution, equivalent to two 4K monitors? I have a Mac Mini M1 and I wonder if it would work.
