Excellent review! I really appreciate your attention to detail and you encapsulate the real-world user experience very well! I can’t wait for Samsung to release the 57” OLED version of this monitor (wishful thinking, but chances are good). I previously had the odyssey 49” G97T and recently upgraded to the 49” oled, and it’s 100% amazing. I fully respect your concern for burn in, and I was also in the same camp before choosing the oled version of the 49”, but I think living with a bit of risk for the sake of indulgence regarding choices with screens has become more appealing the older I’ve gotten (I also bought the extended warranty with burn-in coverage, just in case lol). The oled experience has been unmatched, full stop. BG3, and other games I’ve previously played, feel completely new to me. The detail you pointed out with the mouse cursor almost disappearing in dark parts of the screen reminds me of the experiences I’ve had with Samsung televisions and “black crush” with scene details due to overly aggressive darkening algorithms. I’ve previously bought Samsung’s 4K Q90 series TVs, and I currently have an 8K Q900, and both have similar tendencies with over-darkening and blooming due to the intrinsic nature of local dimming (I’ve changed any settings you can think of, including service menu settings). Personally, as a video enthusiast, I’m fed up with dealing with local dimming issues and oled has changed me into a true believer. A 57” oled monitor would be amazing! Anyways, you’re doing great work! Your video was a pleasure to watch.

I really want to see this monitor thoroughly tested in PBP mode with two cables running from a single 4090. With Nvidia Surround you could then span the displays and regain the single monitor behavior for gaming. It would also allow 16:9 gaming when not spanned and a second monitor for other things. Feels like a win-win.

The Displayport on the Oled G9 is DP1.4a with DSC. It does support 5120x1440 at 240Hz, and in the case of the Neo G8, 3840x2160 at 240Hz. DP1.4 even with DSC does not support the 7680x2160 of the G95NC at 240Hz. That's why it's limited to 120Hz at 10-bit full RGB on a 4090.

I realize this is a gaming market monitor but it would have been great to spend a few minutes on productivity usage like multiple applications open side by side and how much the curvature changes the perspective compared to flat displays. Great review on the gaming aspects!

[@AZEOforreal]

Hey, to let you know, this monitor is OK for the productivity market. For one, the colors are very saturated, so for instance coloring a video may be off. If you are looking for an ultrawide for productivity, I honestly recommend asus’s ROG 49in monitor. The simplicity of Asus’s Ecosystem is one of the main things I typically point out to my friends. You can practically spend $10k and have a simple and very reliable system, that transfers from work to home so easily.

[@physicsguybrian]

@@AZEOforreal I appreciate your input. I supposed I should have been more detailed in my inquiry. By productivity I meant multiple applications open for documentation, programming, plotting windows, etc. I do not do graphic arts or video editing. I would assume they color saturation, balance, contrast, brightness are all fine tunable parameters like all digital displays for the last 10 years? If not, then Samsung really shot themselves in the proverbial foot. My current setup uses 3 Dell displays giving me 4960x1600 resolution with physical real estate making the 49 inch display too short and barely the same width sans the annoying bezels eating up real estate on my setup. I've held off for this very reason; the 49" would be a downgrade in more than one aspect making the loss of the bezels less than a zero net gain. The 57" however gives me equal physical display height, ~3 inches more per side and much higher resolution. Now that is a win-win-win, etc. Thanks again for your reply and input!!!

[@AZEOforreal]

@@physicsguybrian no worries, I understand your complaint on the 49”. That was why I was looking as well. I used a 49” with two 27” on the side mostly for sim racing and work, and ended up realizing the two monitors were so-so with needs. I ended up going to my local microcenter and trying out the 57” there, and I really loved the size of it, but like I said the color grade, even with the different settings, didn’t exactly match what I was looking for in the end. The productivity was pretty good, though. I used it with excel, and on the side I do 3D modeling on Blender, and it didn’t bog my computer down at all and everything ran crisp and smooth. Like I said, though, I returned it for the color accuracy. It was almost abysmal in my eyes. It was very clear they were pandering to a specific niche, with neon greens and fuchsia esque reds really put me off. I would recommend checking it out in person if you do wish to buy one. It may appeal to you more. Productivity was great.

[@Mr_Latte_UK]

Best coverage of this monitor so far, so thanks for the excellent video. Still a bit of a pity as, so far none of the videos/reviews have used it for PC high res gaming with no compression using the DP 2.1 with AMDs fastest 7900XTX. Also the just released 7800 series supports DP 2.1 too which Nvidia did not add to any of their cards yet. That IS the new technology this display offers at its native res which no other monitor offers. Id really like to know how that appears to using DSC. Also interested if you do a follow up video how much better the native res looks over the 1440p on this panel. As in certain titles users may want to reduce the res to maintain framerates.

Oh my goodness! Your explanation is absolutely fantastic!!! I also have the G9 57 monitor and an RTX4090, and you've articulated all of my sentiments perfectly!!! Samsung has really taken miniLED technology to the next level this time. It outshines the previous generation Neo G9 49 in terms of color vibrancy; it's almost on par with OLED quality. Plus, using OLED for a PC monitor can often lead to screen burn-in issues.😝

[@StevoHDA]

can the 4090 even push beyond 120hz? even if it did have dsc for 240 it won't be at 10 bit (and there is a difference, probably can't see it anyway since it's still an lcd with local dimming zones instead of self emissive or dual layer). its a matte finish which blurs everything overall in which combined with dimming zones only blurs the clarity more. the color accuracy likely has issues ranging from big to small in several areas like all the other G9's, samsung VA is fast but on such a wide resolution and panel there's bound to be overshoot problems across the refresh rate. the high resolution and standard subpixel arrangement makes up for the clarity drawbacks vs qd oled mentioned above somewhat (big plus) however at the drawback of what would be considered an insane amount of money to spend on a monitor just a decade ago paired with having to spend an insane amount on graphics cards just to maintain a good framerate.. THAT and the FACT that games hardly support 21:9 (stretching on the sides) let alone the trashed immersion from 32:9 unless you spend every waking moment worrying about what games have reverted your ultrawide modifications just to maintain proper 32:9 support whether that be from windows/driver/game updates. I don't understand how G9 owners can tout how amazing these monitors are for gaming when clearly its all about just having an ego trip over and over to relive that initial wow effect when you had to buy something just to have an experience, I've seen these monitors, they're crazy cool, buy one for regular gaming use? fk no

[@-a.no-]

@@StevoHDA Regarding your comments about self-inflation and strong praise for the product, I understand your perspective, but I'd like to clarify a point. My goal is not to promote the product or engage in self-inflation. In fact, I don't even play games myself; I use the monitor primarily for web browsing. I mentioned these features based on my understanding that they can be very useful for users with specific needs and budgets. I hope this helps clarify my position. Furthermore, I agree with your earlier point that the 32:9 aspect ratio may have compatibility issues with games and applications, and for some, the high cost and advanced features may make it an impractical choice. However, this depends on individual needs and budgets, and everyone has different perspectives. We live in a time of constant technological advancement, and display technology is continually evolving. The ultimate choice should be based on individual circumstances and preferences and doesn't necessarily indicate self-inflation. I appreciate your candid response, and if you have any other differing viewpoints, please feel free to share them.

[@StevoHDA]

@@-a.no- oh sorry, yeah majority of reviews and comments are about gaming on these, it definitely is the best monitor for productivity when it comes to wide screens and if you need color accuracy you'd know how to get it calibrated anyway. Few gamers only play the games that would actually support 32:9 but samsung saw a market there where these few gamers also used their widescreens for productivity, that was clear in the original G9, but then a new market developed from the desperation of lonely gamers. The new G9's cost so much more now but in the end, if its reliable (time will tell with this sammy) it becomes a normal cost to pay for productivity

[@Climbatyze]

I've found that if a game does not have the ability to use HDR without turning on Windows 11 HDR, it is not worth using. The HDR only looks good if the game detects the monitor is capable of it while it being off in Windows.

[@Kodyssey]

I’ve been debating uninstalling windows 11 and using windows 10 just because of the HDR issues, and different resolutions of dual monitors. I haven’t tried yet because it would be a lot of work to reinstall everything and find out I still have the issue on windows 10

Thank you so much for a review. Planning to buy one in the near future. The specifications of the monitor say HDR10+.

Therefore I am currently expecting that it is 12 bit rather than 10 bit. Have you seen anything to clarify if it is 10 bit or 12 bit? I think the setting that you show allowing 12 bit probably confirms the latter.

I really love your comprehensive review of the G9 57, especially since I'm also a user of it. Here, I'd like to share my own experience. I've designed wallpapers specifically for the 32:9 aspect ratio using Wallpaper Engine on STEAM, and it runs perfectly on the G9. Here's a video I shot of it in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoXGgnWLorqeos0 And this is how it looks on my computer desktop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTIY3WIeriYoas Since the new G9 57 comes with "Auto Brightness" functionality (similar to what you find on smartphones), it can detect ambient light sources and adjust the miniLED brightness accordingly, which is excellent for eye comfort. I understand that the Odyssey G9 can be quite glaring at full brightness, which is why I primarily use black as the dominant color in my wallpaper design. Additionally, I never turn off the monitor's power. It gives the appearance of a digital clock, and with the G9 57's automatic brightness adjustment, it provides a perfect display even in low-light conditions. Feel free to use my wallpaper style as a reference, and if needed, make slight adjustments. I believe it will enhance your experience with the G9 57.

@techmanpat and I have a question where and when I can buy such a monitor, because everywhere there is only a pre-order. Can you answer this for me? Pls when is the premiere or has it already been? thank you

[@TechManPat]

2nd October in USA, you can pre order now

[@vulcantuminello1127]

I caved and pre-ordered, it arrives in 4 days, im currently with the G9 Neo 1440p panel on an Ergotron arm + HD mount, could you explain how exactly you positioned the screws in the mount and which screws you used? Thanks!

[@ramulus84]

Do you think you could put a best settings vid together? Would love your input.

[@stevengittleson7833]

Does this monitors support HDCP 2.2? Of course I will be using this mostly for work & gaming BUT I would also want to watch 4k UHD DVD’s and Netflix at 4k on Windows 11. Thanks

[@MrBlacksight]

Is it a VA panel? Hows the black smear? Whats the response and inputlag like? Ghosting? How big is the color coverage? sRGB, DCI P3? And what is the delta average before and after color calibration?

[@svgstudios831]

this one in oled or micro led is probably endgame

[@adriendecroy7254]

Can you just feed it with 2 HDMI cables and treat it as 2 monitors without the bezel in the middle? All this struggle just to do away with one of the monitor cables seems unnecessary.

[@ThisIsATravisT]

Is there anything else with the size, shape, pixels like this, but without the gamer specs for cheaper? I don't really game but do need all of that real estate for multitabling poker games. Thanks!

[@ravnos04]

Quick question: if you use the monitor’s USB inputs for peripherals and are using PBP mode, how does the KVM transition between each system? Ideally, old like to use PBP mode to use my gaming and work computers. I currently use a USB KVM to switch, but if I can just plug them into the monitor then that would be golden.

[@alistair9440]

How much heat does this generate and how would you compare to other monitors in this regard?

[@Prophet_4u2]

It radiates more heat than my previous 49" CRG9 5120x1440p. Now it is summertime though (so the room temp. is anyway higher than average), so I am not so sure if it will be a problem. However, I believe a small deskfan would do the trick to blow the heat sideways away from your face. Nevertheless, I have played now a couple of hours without complains from my face or make up melting down ;-) .

Nice review! Sill waiting for mine to arrive.. your video has made that wait slighty easier haha. Did you update the firmware on it yet or did it come with the lastest one?

[@TechManPat]

It came with the latest firmware, but I hope there is an update soon for more Hz :)

[@TheBuccaneersFootbal]

I scrolled through the comments a little bit, but I have a red devil 6900xt would that run at 240? Or should I upgrade to the 7900xtx?

[@-musiclee-]

how well will this work with the Mac M1 Max, ? i use the CalDigit TS4 as well. will i get 240Hz? full resolution? any limitations?

[@Shockload]

Obviously not! That M1 will either get you 1080p 240 or 2160p 60

[@XTJ7]

6:02 just to correct/expand: DP 1.4 does in fact support 8k at 60hz (with DSC), and only 30hz without DSC. It is a bit of a technicality. Otherwise your descriptions are spot on! Well-researched and informative video. Speaking of DP, have you tried one of the Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 adapters to at least get native resolution at 60hz on the M1 Mac? I would expect this to most likely not work either, but with Apple you never know for sure :) No idea why Apple had to limit even the Mac Studio in such a way, only for them to enable entry model M2 computers to do 8k without a problem. Just Apple things I guess.

[@XTJ7]

Just doing some more research: there are DP 1.4 adapters that enable M1 macs to run 4k at 144hz. That requires more bandwidth than 7680x2160 at 60hz would require. However, there could still be a software limitation in place. Would it be possible for you to check if a thunderbolt DP 1.4 adapter allows for driving this monitor at 60hz in native resolution? I am very much considering buying this, but I own two M1 Mac Studios that I really do not want to replace any time soon. I know there are workarounds like using the monitor in split screen mode with two different connectors, which then would even allow you to run it at 120hz. But this also comes with a lot of downsides, like having the dock on the left or right side, having two bars at the top and most importantly: not being able to have any windows in the center, as MacOS will cut off windows hanging "off" one screen instead of showing half on the other. So the experience would be anything but seemless that way.

[@patrickrenschler]

@@XTJ7 let us know if you figure things out! I have a M1 Max macbook pro and interested in knowing if there are any workarounds to getting native resolution on this monitor.

[@patrickrenschler]

Currently I use a USB-C to DisplayPort 8k 60hz cable with my M1 max and Samsung 49" and it works great with native resolution of 5120 × 1440; the connection should have enough bandwidth for 7680x2160

[@XTJ7]

@@patrickrenschler 7680x2160 is 2.25 times the resolution of 5120x1440 though. I run two M1 Mac Studios, so I won't buy the monitor without confirming I can at least run it in 60hz mode. That unfortunately means other people have to test it first :)

[@spielkrone869]

@TeachManPat Hey there! Im going to get my G9 Neo in a couple of days and wanted to ask if you could tell me where you got that background picture at 13:17 from. Thanks in advance!

[@shreddedyeat]

[@rickystafford7433]

Great review, well presented. I agree Mini LED is awesome and in some ways better than OLED. In my experience blooming is not an issue at all. I’ll take the benefits even with the small number of cons any day of the week

[@noelnarayan6135]

I have to disagree, MiniLED is great but there is something so beautiful about a glossy OLED screen that just looks better than a MiniLED, even if it has much less brightness than the latter.

[@drunkhusband6257]

I think they should have made it OLED, would have been way better

[@drunkhusband6257]

Having had both I'd disagree, OLED is far superior even to mini led. Even the fastest mini leds on the market have nowhere near the response times of an oled, and mini led still looks hazy in dark scenes in comparison. I had an odyssey neo g9, and now have an LG oled, I can't ever imagine going back to led@@helenHTID

[@ployth9000]

Depending on how this sales will depend on if they make a oled model but my money is on they will release one in 2024 lol @@drunkhusband6257

[@fjorddenierbear4832]

Putting OLED glossy next to MiniLED, the difference is huge indeed. MiniLED is just like a really nice standard IPS-ish LCD. I'll take the MiniLED for work any day, of course. But I find my Asus PG27AQDM is fine enough for my work needs, though text is not very impressive. For MiniLED I just have a Zephyrus M16. The brightness is amazing, but I'll take OLED or QD-OLED for gaming any day.

After 4 days of using the monitor I can tell you the radiation heat is not a problem, (for me), @ 24°C room temperature and about 70-80 cm distance, 120Hz. At normal 21°C I expect not to notice anything in this regard.

Hey TMP amazing video, really appreciating you for creating such great videos for us viewers. After watching you're video Im very much interested in getting for myself. But I have 1 question, how to fully use the whole 240 hz of the monitor? (im running the 4090 gpu) like what cable shud i use? display port or HDMI and if so do i need to connect two at the same time to fully maximize on the 240 hz? please let me know how it can done, thank you very much. Much love TMP.

[@TechManPat]

You cannot at the moment, and we don’t know if it will be possible in the future. The only option is hdmi but it make require a firmware update from Samsung and nvidia

Can a lenovo legion go be hooked up on that monitor? Dont want to to build a pc just want this monitor for either of game systems PS5/legion go. Thank in advance 😊

[@armadaza]

Great review, this almost answered all my questions about this. If possible, any feedback on the below questions would be awesome: 1. You mentioned there are more vertical real estate with this one, but is that only pixel wise or is the physical vertical distance more in cm than the Neo G9? I have the 49" G9 Neo and after a year or so I find myself wanting more vertical picture. Dont get me wrong, the 1000R wrap around is awesome for peripheral vision and all, but I cant help myself feeling more vertical would be sweet. I was thinking my next monitor would be the 45" OLED from LG, but almost all reviewers say the pixelation at typical desk distance was very noticable. 2. One problem I had with my 49" Neo G9 was scanlines when using 240hz, HDR with VRR on it. Its super annoying as it only happened in the top left quadrant of the display with it being more and more prominent with light blue pixels or backgrounds. I even had the panel replaced under warranty but it was still there. My wife has exactly the same monitor and its not an issue on hers. Strangely, if I drop it to 120hz, HDR with VRR, its a lot less noticeable. 3. You mentioned that its very bright. Do you think its similar to the 49" Neo G9? Due to the annoyance of the scanlines I found myself playing without HDR often and the 49" Neo G9 felt brighter in a lot of the games that way. So I loved the visual experience of HDR but it was often better overall when playing without. Perhaps its like you said a Windows 11 HDR issue more than the panel, but I guess in the end its all about the end user experience in the environment they design it for.

[@TechManPat]

1. about 2 inches more physical and resolution size. 2. No scanlines, this has been finally fixed 3. I think this is as bright if not more, I dont think many games take good advatage of HDR, more or less I would say there are only a handfull of games that do.

I'd have to say I'm not totally blown away with the HDR but thats not the monitors fault, I'm running windows 10 which is known to deal with HDR poorly. Very pricey but for what you can do with this, it's still something I'd recommend.

[@itsmetee466]

I guess the person that owns this channel wont answer my question. Hopefully you will. Is it not possible to go further than 120 HZ by reduce to 8 bit ? Are you runing with HDMI ? What GPU do you have ? :)

[@pc_gamer]

Hiya, I haven't really tried to go down to 8 bit but if I do I'll let you know. I'm running 4090 but via HDMI for now at 120Hz. As soon as team Green bring out cards with the new display port ill definitely be upgrading but for now, if I'm honest I'm happy with 120 knowing I'm future proofed :)

[@TechManPat]

Okay so. If you look under the pivot, the black metal frame slides into the white powder coated outside shell, when you look under and push it up there is a notch that slides, if you put a metal screw or really anything in between to jam it from going back into itself then it wont go down.

[@simond4439]

I can only advise you to keep your hands off this monitor. The first arrived with a broken display, the second did not work from one day to the next (neither display nor lighting go on). During the questions from the german support (which was really friendly - no irony here) I had to find out that these problems are well known. The second monitor now has to be repaired by the technician due to the expiration of the 14-day period and will not be replaced. For a monitor in this price range that didn't even work for ONE month, a real impertinence. If you feel like gambling, you can give it a try. If it works then times, a super picture. Otherwise, I can only say: NO BUY RECOMMENDATION!
