- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC Series) builds on the insane 32:9 form factor with OLED. After spending some time with it, the format doesn't seem as insane as it does at first glance, especially when bolstered by OLED. It provides unrivaled productivity prowess and one of the most immersive gaming experiences money can buy, assuming you don't mind dealing with some of the strange issues that arise when using a 32:9 panel.

People talking about the stretching on the corners, I don't get it. I own this monitor and never see it. I don't stretch to fit either which is absurd if you do. If a game don't support 32:9 the monitor supports the other ratios also. So what if you get the black bars on the side. You still get the awesome quality and if you turn off the lights, you don't even notice it.
Famous saying I always use instead of focusing on the negative that fits here. It's better to have the option of 32:9 when you can use it instead of not having it when you can use it. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
Maybe it's just me. But backbars do not distract me. I feel like I got multiple monitors in 1 and the picture quality is the best I've ever seen. 240hz is just gravy but nice.
There's an easy fix. Try windows key + P. Then select second external display or something like that. Use an HDMI cable.
Nice video! Helped me decide on which Samsung I wanted and I have decided on this one! On order as I type this!!!
Digital Trends, what are the options under screen size? Would I be able directly through the monitor to set it up as 21:9 aspect ratio? Thank you.
Great video. I have a mac Mini and a Surface Studio 2 laptop? Can I use mult view where one screen is my mac and one screen is my surface?
Can I play QHD say on left side and use right side for something else? DO games detect this left side as main screen at QHD res and it can be used smoothly and seamlessly or does it give headaches with configuration? I want dual screen experience in one monitor without any issues.
You can split the screen to work (PC/MAC) while using the smart hub apps?
I want OLED but I do not think its ready for me yet since I do mostly work from home productivity, photo editing, etc so I look at a lot of text and have a lot of static images.
I am not going to make my workflow suffer to protect the screen so I decided to get the Neo.
But I have a 27+34+27 setup now and I would never replace my triple monitor setup with a single 32:9 monitor and basically lose an entire monitor of space, so while the price is not as good as the current sale of the 49" G9 I got the 57" G9 for the dual 4K experience. This way my realestate does not suffer and I can finally "upgrade" to 4K.
Super sharp text, more immersion, etc.
I also picked up 3x of the 32" G8's
I did traditional 3x monitor setups for a very long time and always loved it for productivity and games, bezels never bothered me when gaming, and having dedicated screens to full screen games/applications, etc to is really nice.
I am just a bit worried about fitting 3x 32" on my desk, and gaming performance at 3x 4K.
So I'll have to test scaling the resolution down to say 1440P and see how it looks on the 4K screens, or perhaps just use the 57" where dual 4K while still demanding is much more doable.
I have to alwasy have an odd number of monitors on my base layer I cant be looking directly at a bezel and have to look left/right all day to work so while the 57" is two 4K monitors I can make it work, but I'll still need atleast one monitor above it for when things need a dedicated monitor due to how some applications work.
so is this the succesor of the g9 57 inch one with that huge curve or is this a model up or down in the range ? wich one has the better graphix quality ?
Did they fix the pivot arm at the back?
I remember the ones from a few years ago had a tendency to droop and annoyed people
Know this is five months old, but I had odyssey neo g9 49 inch monitor and I lost it in a house fire. I did everything with that monitor such as gaming, school work, and video content. I got an 32 inch monitor and I just don’t enjoy it as much as the 49 inch monitors.
Still rocking my 48 inch cx. I have a big desk and it works well. I sometimes run it at 3840 x 1600 with no issues (black bars are a minor issue when it is oled). Glad oled has come down in price and we have more options now. I remember when the cx was one of the only options.
Same here! Cx still running strong with no burn-in. I've been toying with the idea of this g9, but I just don't know if I could take advantage of that aspect ratio (or even like it).
OLED monitors usually can go for 6-8 years without Burn in's, however, QD-OLED's can last longer due to the 2nd gen of OLED technology and the resistances to the burn in issues.@@evensen007
I found two vertical bands near the edge of the frame and I would prefer not to have them if I'm honest.
what about compensation cycles? Is it like the LG monitors that improve after several cycles every 4 hours?

Thanks for this video. Much better than others in covering the impact on performance.
Hey can you run this configuration at 240HZ or you have limitation: gaming app on the right side windows desktop on the left
excellent review...One of the best on this monitor. I'm trying to decide if I want to move into a new home to fit the 57" version of this, or I just stay put and fit this tiny one on my desk!
Can you run a game in the middle with youtube and web browser on the left and Twitch on the right?
Can you connect bluetooth speakers to this monitor and play all audio through the speakers? For example if I have a ps5 plugged into the HDMI and connect this monitor to bluetooth speakers, will the PS5 sound come through the speakers?
Does is flicker after wakening from sleep mode like the neo G9?
Is the HDR with Win 11 better on the OLED than on the first G9?
I just ordered mine for $1300. Cannot wait to get it. Cuirrently using a 27" 1440p screen along side a 1440p 34 UW (both VA)
I have a 49in odyssey g9. I prefer one wide screen. Less cables and clean. @@turningaround7842

What is the Aussie oled and how can I get it?
Bought a LG G1 65" for gaming...was the right choice.I sit 4 feet away with driving sims.Amazing,and I only paid $1435.
What GPU did you use for the review?
Hi how I can know if my pc supports this monitor, I bought it but the maximum resolution shown is 3840 x 1080 and the monitor supports 5140 x 1440. Thanks, My pc is mini pc ryzen 9 890HX
can we use ıt wıth macbook pro m2
What about if we want to play CS2 on a 16x9 window? Will there be added latency as compared to a regular 27" IPS panel?
Ohhh same question, but for Valorant.
@@jackjefferson3980 I can't find anything where someone knows what the difference is for competitive shooters.
Have one. Absolutely love it. Daytime productivity... night time gaming. The colors. The contrast. WIIIIIIIIDE picture. So cool.
so jelly lol
On 3 27" 1440p monitors atm. I use all three for productivity during the day as well. I'm really used to that amount of screen space, trying to get an idea if I should grab one of these and see if I can use 3 windows and see if them being a little smaller in width would be ok. Or maybe spend a bit more and get something 2160p, I can't run games at 4k ultra but I plan on building a new pc at the end of the year that will.
what about burning in?
@@tannato4864 No issues thus far. I have a clean desktop with rotating backgrounds. And pixel shift etc.. on to help.
@@sneaksz1 I use the multiple window setup often for productivity. Love it. And it has the pixel density of 4k as I recall. So 4k without 4k? Great monitor. Especially if on sale!
With the monitor attached to the included stand and at its highest height, what is the clearance from the bottom of the monitor to the desktop? I have speakers that stand 11 1/2 inches and want to make sure they would fit underneath.
16.1cm
Would this be any good for warzone ?
Why do you need High Contrast Enhancer and Auto Picture Clarity on an OLED Monitor/Streaming TV?
I have this monitor and is amazing, colors look fantastic and it is great for gaming.
Been watching your videos for weeks trying to decide which new 75” to buy. Question.. I watch a lot of Netflix and most content is in Dolby Vision. I was thinking of a Samsung but it’s my understanding that if you’re streaming a Dolby vision movie on Netflix, that doesn’t have the HDR 10 bass layer, the content will be in SDR. Is this true? If so I can’t do Samsung….
I have a Samsung 90B 85inch & Samsung only supports HDR 10 & HDR 10+ & Samsung DOES NOT SUPPORT DOLBY VISION PERIOD. I personally can not see a difference between HDR 10/10+ & Dolby Vision when the Best Buy employees we’re showing both formats on Sony, LG, Hinsense, TCL & Samsung sets…THEY ALL LOOKED GREAT TO MY EYES😂😂😂😂 but I have Samsun Phone, Watch & now TV so I’m very bias to Samsung…but DOLBY VISION will not be supported on a Samsung TV no matter what format you use, be it (NETFLIX OR APPLE TV) Dolby Vision will not be displayed on those Samsung Sets….hope this helps
hey i have big question it can support 4090 i mean it can give 240 fps or 120 fps can u say or any one
Which model is it? I'm looking at model LS49CG954SNXZA
Hey, I wanna jump in real quick and share my experience with this monitor. I bought it a few months ago and I've been using it since. In your review you shared mostly the positives of the product, so I'm going to start with some negatives:
1) DEAD PIXELS: First of all, after I set it on my desk for the first time and started using it, and I'm not kidding, 15 minutes after it was turned on for the first time, a vertical line of dead pixels apeared on the center of the screen. What that meant for me was to put it back in the box after literally 15 minutes of working time and send it back to service for a few weeks to get it fixed. Now, I'm not saying that will happen to you, but it happened to me, so I'm sharing it.
2) BUBBLES: 2 months after I bought it small bubbles started to form on the panel which are visible when the screen is black / turned off. Now for a screen that I paid $1800 for, that's unacceptable. I am currently using it the way it is, just because I work on it and having to bring it to service AGAIN means that I have to go back to my old 2 x 16:9 monitor setup and completely mess up my productivity.
3) GAMING MODE: 240Hz works only when "Gaming Mode" is enabled from the menu. If it's not enabled the monitor stays at 120Hz. Now you're gonna say, "just turn it on", but that comes with an annoying issue. The way this monitor works is that 240Hz will work only on full screen games where it does some sort of fullscreen optimizaion. If you want to Alt+Tab to discord or your browser or whatever, this becomes a huge pain in the ass. The monitor will start to flicker, the transitions are super slow and sometimes the don't even work. So you find yourself stuck in a black screen until the game just crashes or by some miracle pulls through. That issue really escalates when you try to open application like Viber, which for some reason is considered as an application that has to work in full screen, so every time you open an image in Viber the screen starts to flicker. So basically I am currently using the monitor in 120Hz for 90% of the time, and I'm turning "Gaming Mode" on only when I play Counter Strike, or some other competitive game.
4) FONT ISSUE: There is a green undertone on all characters when you open a block of text on WINDOWS 10. That's why I decided to proceed with installing Windows 11 on my PC to eliminate this issue. I belive it's some sort of a driver thingy, because the G9 OLED has some new way of stacking pixels and it translates to this.
5) OVERALL REVIEW: As a game developer I'm using game engines all the time. Game Engines use a lot of space on your screen. That's the main reason that I bought this monitor for. I am happy that I did, because apart from the reliability issues this monitor has been treating me good. The colors are great, the real estate is amazing, the simplistic design of the product fits really well on my desk, it's great for gaming and productivity apps like the Adobe stack, Visual studio and Unreal Engine.
If you consider buying this monitor I suggest you extend your warrenty, because there is a high chance that you're gonna need it. Ask me any questions if you want more details. Cheers!
Thank you very much!! I was about to buy
I'm a trader and I wanted to buy this monitor Instead of its brother, the "VA panel" Odyssey G9 for its overall better picture and dark colors quality due to the time I spend on charts... but I read something about the WRGB technology which causes the hard edges on screen to show red and green pixels... does it go for this monitor as well?
Great review! I think the deal breaker for me is the compability problem with some games with the wide screen. And the hassle to start investigate whether some game support that or not.
I have had no issues. Games that arent ultrawide just have black bars. Still the high contrast, inky blacks and vibrant colors. And the immersion with ultrawide games? Brilliant.
@@mark35mi Great to hear. Yeah, I went to see this live in a store and come to conclusion that this is not for me.
My monitor seems like it’s connected to my Samsung tv, when the Chanel or volume changes from another remote. How do I make it stop ?
Can you use two DP or HDMI and DP out from the PC into this so you can essentially run it as a dual monitor set up? I'm interested in this to play 32:9 in supported games and then switch to dual output so I can have borderless full screen games on one side and twitch on the other.
I have a question about the Smart Monitor-ness of this. Does the built in apps allow for full screen movie watching with HDR?
So weird question, but my Alienware AW3423DW is a dream in terms of image quality. It is beautiful and I love it.
But trying to watch 21:9 native movies or tv shows is sometimes painful. Some apps/streaming sites don’t allow HDR in PC, some have black bars on the top and the bottom and then black bars on the sides with 21:9 content. It can be painful, and it is somewhat annoying that my fancy monitor can’t play my favorite movies in max res and HDR.
Does the fact that the Smart Monitor features are built in makes it so that these issues are adressed?
You have to realize that the source material is rendered in a specific resolution and aspect ration when it comes to movies, and it's not a game that can just change it's FOV and scale interface to make it fit on 32:9
With movies it's not that easy. If you want to watch movies, get a 16:9 TV.
Can someone help me choose? I’m really stuck between getting this or LG’s 49inch IPS panel primarily for video editing, 3D rendering and Lightroom. I know IPS panel is renown for creative work but this gorgeous OLED contrast is so tempting
Did you ever make a decision? I'm trying to figure out a good widescreen monitor for similar stuff, but coding, CAD, video/photo editing, etc.
I love the screen real estate but it’s way too big for me. I don’t think I’ll ever move up to that size it’s to big. I love my 3440x1440 screen size. I assume that’s the sweet spot for most.
I do a ton of work for my teaching job on my home pc. So i'm making powerpoints, editing word documents and watching videos all at the same time. Would I need to worry about burn in on a monitor like this? Otherwise this is VERY tempting.
What game is that the one walking around in the streets?
I want 2; second to sit above for movies and other information available whilst in-game. Problem is I'm not sure I can get a arm long long enough to support that
So does it work with gsync?
Why don't reviewers ever cover the pbp features/limitations of 32:9 monitors :( can it do 21:9/11:9?
I’m still using 48:9 and can’t imagine going back to less on screen real estate. Though I have to admit I’d love to upgrade to 4K and OLED.
its actually a QHD monitor so its not 4k unfortunately
@@Aloude1it's 2 2ks so basically 4k
It's still 1440p just wider, not really 4k@@buckythedog
you won't to be that happy when you see what happens on windows, the dotpicht of font and icon is terrible on definition... OLED and windows icons and fonts it's not ATM the best solution. ONLY in playing the OLED make difference, but if you use that monitor for work, that's means you eyes burn in 10 minutes. (tested my G9 Gsync VS that G9 OLED)
@@buckythedogYou have no idea what you're talking about. 🤣🤣🤣
Just bought my G9 for 1199 it's the one with no smart hub features. Can't wait to try it out with my RTX 4090. Is it true that you have to disable/turn off Windows HDR in order to use game HDR on the monitor?
Curious how your experience has been so far with it? Any issues with overheating and shutting down? Text clarity okay? They are $1200 on amazon right now and I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one.
@@CajunJosh I sent it back, I actually didn't like the 32:9 aspect ratio. 21:9 is the sweet spot. Hopefully one of these companies comes out with a 21:9 38' 1600p QD-OLED monitor.
Love mine, I have it paired with the Sony 55 a95L for my ps5/movies and games that don’t support 32:9
So I bought the Odyssey OLED G9 an I can get the screen you have (3:00) where the apps shows on the bottom. How do I get that 😢
thats Windows 11, lol.
Do you know if its possible to have 2 computers connected and split the display for each pcs?
Yes you can but one will be connected thru Display port and the other one thru HDMI.
is it good for editing ?
Can you stream on this in the Picture in Picture mode? Game on half and tik tok live on the other? Thru the phone I assume as the source
I got mine for 1100 plus a mounting arm. I love it
That’s huge!😀
Welp you just convinced me. I'm buying one.
My G9 Oleg didn’t include the Samsung Tv functionality nor did it come with the White controller, was later notified by Samsung Support that it’s not included in the G9 Oled.
would love an oled for my new monitor, but I also work on my monitor with alot of excel sheets, so have white and static elements scares me.
You can turn off the bars in excel. This is a non-issue. The monitor also pixel shifts and does auto-maintenance every 4 hours and when you turn it off. Not mentioned in this video, but it's in the documentation for the monitor.
I am currently running the ASUS ROG Swift 41.5” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor (PG42UQ) - UHD (3840 x 2160), 138Hz, 0.1ms, and i am looking into this samsung monitor right now. I am trying to decide if i want to keep this Asus monitorr for switch to this samsung monitor. They score about the same in some area's with this Samsung monitor scoring only 1-3% better in most cases.
If I play a shooter in say, 1400 p - will the monitor auto-switch to letter boxing it or will it stretch the image?
If you put game in windowed mode just put custom height of 1440 and all is well…..
Hi, is text sharpness a problem on this monitor? I would use it 65/35% work to game ratio and seeing multiple reports regarding text clarity puts me off. I would really appreciate the answer
yes, oled it's terrible on windows use atm.. i've been tested my G9 Gsync VS that G9 OLED and only when you play, you are ok, but on windows, you can burn your eyes in 10 minutes use.
@@ghostfoxxx On Windows 11 with Cleartype it works perfectly!
Had an original Odyssey G9, went back to 21:9 due to every 3d game being stretched on edges at 32:9 regardless of fov. You can clearly see this in gameplay videos, it gets very annoying after a while. 21:9 with higher fovs has less problems.
While I know what you're talking about, I personally find the stretch right on the edges to not matter much - if I focus on the centre of the screen and let the edges fill my periphery I can't notice it at all. I only notice it if I go and deliberately focus on it. I love the 32:9, especially for games like bannerlord, tarkov and baldurs gate 3.
I just couldn't get over the stretching on the edges. Not much of a point of having that much screen if the edges are distorted. If this wasn't the case would be perfect. I honestly wish 24:9 aspect ration monitors were a thing because there is no stretching up to that aspect ratio.@@miiiiiiiiiiick
@@miiiiiiiiiiickOh man.... BG3 on it is SO good .
I am really a big fan of 32:9. I think is the main reason to play games on PC. The stretching depends on each game support
The stretching is pretty much the same on all 3d games I ever tried it on, there is pretty much no game that is programmed correctly for 32:9 FULL support without any kind of stretching on the edges sadly. I went back to 21:9 because of this@@globoaviacao
"So how much screen do you need?"
"Yes."
please help me please should i buy this for xboxX or should I go with the Alienware?
I would like to know this as well…
Is this worthless for console gaming? I ma looking for a new monitor for console gaming but also need something for my editing and computer work. Not looking into PC gaming, only console gaming and PC work.
Beautiful monitor.
in fact, I was waiting for the release of the 57 G9, but as practice has shown, there are a lot of defects, and I did not take risks, I wonder if there will ever be a version of the 57 Oled, by the way, it is the size of a light business jet windshield, and in fact, the 57 Oled would be the best solution for experience in mfs2020
Got in on my list for Black Friday 2024.
How is the build quality?
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching. I wanted to jump in here and clarify a point about Multi View that I wasn't clear about.
Samsung says you can use two sources for Multi View for a picture-by-picture setup, but it will disable HDR and run both sources at 120Hz instead of the full 240Hz. A little piece of nuance I didn't touch on in the video.
That's definitely an upgrade from the original G9 I'm currently running. Multi view was capped at 60hz per source.
Ok so if I have my pc and ps5 hooked up both will be at 120hz in pbp mode because someone else said it wouldn’t just making sure before I buy it
@@jxgha3197 That is correct.
@@InTransit8911 ok thanks
Hello Jacob, I believe you forgot to mention the most important type of games to use this aspect ratio for immersion: racing and flight sims.
Would you reccomend this over the 32" g8 4k monitor they have? Both with 240hz
If you're talking about the Mini LED 32" neo g8 4k 240 hz. I definitely would look elsewhere. I have this monitor and I can only use it at 120hz due to scan line issues at 240hz.
Was gonna buy this for my xbox series x since it's o ly 1,200 which is cheap compared to the 2k price that some of these monitors have, is this gonna be good fr my xbox series x?
Get it. I found a open box at Best Buy for $860 and I’m pretty happy with it so far.
the G93SC is on a great sale for amazon at 1000, no game hub but as a pure monitor for a pc seems good
Yep I just bought it was wondering what’s the difference
what does it mean? gamehub? does it mean no KVM or something?@@thetruth7089
Which connection is the preferred port for 51201440 @240hz with 4090?
Display port.
"Same monitor, same settings as yours. I have a 4080, but my monitor loses signal and I see a black screen! The issue was the game mode. Do you have any issues? When you close games, or if you want to go into the BIOS?"
Looks amazing. How many recent games out there support it?
I play Escape from Tarkov, Bannerlord, and Baldurs Gate 3 on it without issue. It's bloody amazing. Starfield - haven't played it yet but there's a mod to enable the correct aspect ratio (all skyrim/fallout games needed the same thing). That's all I've really tried to date, but I believe anything older needs to be played in windowed mode or whatever.
32:10 would be better :)
I am currently using a triple 27 monitor setup and would love to get myself one or three OLEDs... BUT the subpixel-layout and poor result in text clarity seems to be a complete dealbreaker. As long as they are not able to fix the text problem... all OLEDs are not usable for work.... or am i wrong?
You are wrong
My text clarity seems fine - for word documents and email etc. While I don't use it for 8 hours + or anything, I imagine it'd be okay.
Just got one Black Friday sale for $900 on Amazon
I think for 1000-1300$, this is an excellent monitor, especially with the built in smart TV features. As long as it doesn't break within 2 years of use!
Just ordered one on Newegg for 1200. I think thats pretty ideal.
You're in luck, the G93SC (no Smart features) is $1000, the G95SC (with Smart features) is $1200.
Mine wont turn on anymore. The red led is just blinking but screen stays black. Its not even 3 months old.
What’s the game at 5:15?
I have two in dual config, bought a couple months ago, game on it daily, and totally worth every penny if budget isn't an issue! Great review!
How do you have them set up?
Stacked vertically?
I'm considering this monitor, but I need to know can I choose to play all my games in 16:9 or will I encounter games that just won't work on this monitor?
Yes you can change the Aspect ratio on the monitor options, I did that when gaming on consoles.
You bring up the specs, but you're missing out on mentioning that unlike the samsung G9 neo which had a VRR range of 94hz-> 240 hz and having games dipping in and out of that range causing LFC to trigger and untrigger caused hiccups, is the new improved VRR range on the G9 g95sc, at 48hz -> 240hz meaning that only if if you dip below 48hz(48fps) will LFC trigger which is something you can much easier control rather than having to lock a majority of games at 80fps :)
to me it's a major selling point of this display above prior generations of G9's that almost nobody seem to mention.
Its Nvidia G Sync compatible ?
Is 120HZ 4K available for PS5 and Xbox Series X as well or just for PCs?
No it is not, on consoles you are limited to 4k/60hz or 1440p/120hz.
I think you elaborate more on the ownership issues of digital purchases
Should I get G8 Oled or G9?
Thank you for the review. My daughter is wondering what the game is with the girl and the cute pet on her shoulder?
Thanks!
Kena bridge of spirits!
Your review is good, but it is mainly the comment section below, which validates the fact that I must avoid this screen... even this resolution
I want to buy it, I know what the magic of Oled is, since my 55 TV will be 10 years old in December, now I’m using a regular G9, the same one where the matrix doesn’t peel off much lol, by the way, the other problems have disappeared, before the monitor could flicker, now everything is ok, I I fly in MFS2020 and of course OLED is very important to me for night flights since a regular G9 at night is not very cool, but what should I do with the old G9 I don’t want to sell it cheap lol
How do you make the games full wide screen?
Look in the games settings menu, it'll usually say Graphics.
As a trader, this is the best monitor... I'm definitely copping this real soon!
I don't have a powerful enough pc to play pc games on this but i bought this to web browse whichworks great and watch 4k blu-rays on my panasonic 4k player looks awesome even if there are some black bars on the top and bottom it feels like im watching it in a movie theatre cause of the ultrawide and it does fit the whole screen at 32.9 now there are alot of movies that i have blu-ray dvd or 4k blu-rays that are full screen that fit the whole screen with no black boarders for widescreen like the avatar movies in 4k just wow but this monitor is great for 4k blu-rays to i also tested out my favorite tv show on blu-ray smallville it fills thw whole screen and doesn't look weird like the ps5 yea the ps5 is made for tvs not for ultrawide on this monitor but yes like in the video for gaming stick to pc but back to my show smallville on blu-ray i couldnt believe how great it looked on this so vivid in picture and color and i had it in movie mode this does look better then my lg c1 oled tv for watching movies on my 4k player, so i yes i just use it for browsing the web and 4k movie watching on my player thru this and watching stuff on apps sometimes which lok great at nightime.
there are no movies that support 32:9 lol you’re watching them stretched which looks horrible
Hey might looked stretched out but they don't look that horrible and they play in 4k and i watch it from a distance far enough away they look find the movies look better on this monitor then a regular tv i would know cause i own the monitor now when i do watch it on my 4k player none of the picute is cut off or missing and thats what matters ps5 games if u want to look that really strtch out its console gaming watching movies on a 4k player isnt as bad.

monitor isn’t 4k either btw
Yes its stretched out but i can to watch 4k on it ive tested it out thru a 4k blu-ray movie and still looks in 4k nothing looks chopped out either and the 4k option is available on the apps on this monitor to, the only thing to me that does't loo to great which is really stretch out if u play it this way are ps5 games but movies don't look that bad to me and they look better on thiis monitor then my oled tv cause of the 32.9 ultrawide which is like in the theatre.@@cjlsniper
Anyone using this with MSFS2020 I would like to know your thought?
I returned mine to best buy after 10 days later night. Honestly, it’s just too big and when playing league of legends on windows 11 and you unlock your camera to look down, the taskbar comes up. Windows 11 removed the ability to put your taskbar on left or right side of the screen. The colors and brightness were great. Good monitor for sure but 😅 back to dual 32” for me.
Just got this monitor it's phat
I prefer my 21/9 G8 Oled. 21/9 is the sweet spot.
Almost ordered the g8 (21:9 version of this monitor) but after talking to samsung support here in Canada im going with Dells version. Apparently in Canada it's still limited to 1 year warranty with no burn in coverage despite being extended to 3 years and covering burn in in the US and a lot of other countries from what I've seen. They still don't explicitely mention warranty length until you register your product and never explicitly mention burn in coverage. They REALLY need to get their shit together when it comes to support. That's coming from a happy s95b user.
Idk. I'm looking at the G9 in the US and only see a 1 year limited warranty so it might not be exclusive to Canada. Makes me doubt their quality a little bit tbh
Its absolutely not a bigger version of just the G8; it's a far better panel, that concludes better brightness and - most importantly - a life expectancy factor of 2x!
@multivitamin9832 lol there's no difference in life expectancy. Come on
@multivitamin9832 also go look at reviews. The difference in brightness is like 5-10 nits. It's hardly any different.
