Spectacular review! loved your room setup too....... if you dont mind making another video showing us a full detailed setup of your office, that would be great.....Thank you!
This really shows how much editing can do to elevate the quality of a video. It was well done.
loved this video. you sir are going to blow up very soon, keep up the product reviews
You should show the product much. %90 of the video shows you. Your voice is very welcome in the background.
Bro literally reviewed himself. Ain’t tryna watch his goofy ahhh I wanted to look at the monite
Congrats on your channel growth dude! Keep the excellent content coming!
This is the best review video. Your footage really shows as if we are experiencing the product. Good job and thx
Thanks for this video. I am considering getting a UW monitor and have only heard reviews about the Dell 49" monitor. Glad to have a comparison between two 49" monitor manufacturers. Also I work with a bunch of engineers who will tell me if the 1000R concept really works or not! Thanks.
Thanks for the update. This will be my first 49' curve.
I'm using this monitor for almost 5 months, and it's amazing. You will like it. (For programming and FS2020 :D )
Cheers for the informative review and the cable link.
I had the same issues with my MacBook and Samsung Odyssey G9. This helped me a great deal thank you!
Thanks so much for this video! Was trying to figure out if it would work with my setup with is exactly the same as your mac setup.
Best Video so far. Clear clean image too. I've pushed my bid up on eBay lol. I'm currently using a standard ratio 4k 43" Acer. It's a bit too tall for how close I am too it. I look forward to something with more usable screen real-estate.
You need to start putting the 49’s together until you’re completely surrounded. 360 degree productivity baby! 🤣
@@PeteMatheson Also the screen is not curved the whole way. It would not be a smooth circle. It's curved in the middle, but the edges are not. You could have mentioned this in your review Pete.
@@DarklyBishop The edges are curved too, just not as much as the middle
@@PeteMatheson You should stack them vertically.
Serious question - how many would it take to accomplish this?
Maybe 6?
Big thumps up from here. Nice to see an "average consumer" review, instead of as you show, the "big youtubers"
I got the ch90. I love it, but decided to go with the G97T. It arrives today and im so excited.
@Darth Any updates? How you liking it?
Great video/review. I’m running a similar setup (MBP+CalDigits, PC, both to G9). I’m interested in what you’re doing to share peripherals between Mac/PC (USB), what you have plugged into the monitor, and what you’re doing for webcam with speakers/mics. My previous monitor (all Mac, 5K LG) had all of this integrated but obviously can’t do PC gaming! Needed an upgrade, G9 is dope.
Great Video....why the hell does this guy not have more subs!
Thank you so much. You helped me throw down the money on this one
Great review! Any experience in power consumption during max brightness (gaming)/reduced brightness (work) you could share?
I'm buying this for my next setup.
I recently bought two of the exact same 8K (overkill) cables from Amazon to use with the latest G9 monitor (97 version) (95 is the old version, FYI) to use with both a MacBook Pro and Windows laptop. I agree, those are the BEST cables to get if you are gonna get this monitor. They are AWESOME and frequently on sale on Amazon (under $20 USD each), normally about $30 USD.
Do you need one or two cables?
@@steeveabitbol2466 only one cable is needed for this monitor. I bought two cables so i could hookup one to one computer and the other to a different computer.
Hey Pete, great review! Could you share the name of the track starting at ~06:20? Great Quality Video and very nice choice of music!
AMAZING VIDEO!!!
Appreciate for the video, love to hear the productivity side of things for this type of monitor!
Do you think that I'd be able to get a sweet gaming experience splitting the screen in half with PBP to play some games with my partner shoulder to shoulder? She's on a laptop right now so anything would be better but I'm thinking that this might be one of the cases where less curvature would be best.
@@PeteMatheson Nice that's fun to hear! :)
Asked a few and gotten a mixed response, but I'm not looking for the most optimal set up just something viable to be able to split screen some games on.
Yep, on release PbP was locked to 60hz but firmware update 1006.2 should have introduced native support for 120hz. Before support people were able to get those refresh rates by setting custom resolution in nvidia even up to 160hz iirc but with frame skipping. No idea about freesync/g-sync in PbP though.
Hi Peter, thanks for the review. It inspired me to get one. My work and home laptops have HDMI cables only - no DP. What should be the best way to set this up to get the best resolution out of the monitor? I bought 8K HDMI which gives me 59/60hz and the monitor only has one input for an HDMI cable which means I can only use one laptop. I wanted to be able to connect my work and home machines to the monitor. I am tempted to buy the usbc, using your link in the description above. I am not sure if this is for Mac only. What must I do to get a better resolution from the monitor as seen in your video and to be able to use two machines on this monitor?
Thank you.
Like the video. I know you mention two monitors in this video. So wanting to see which could help with what I want to do. What I am looking to do is get as minimalistic as possible with my current setup. I have (3) 27 inch monitors and 3 laptops. Two of the 27 inch monitors are connected to a Dell USB hub. On that hub 2 monitors are connected via HDMI, a Blue Snowball USB microphone, a sound bar using the 3.5mm cable, a keyboard/mouse via Bluetooth, an ethernet cable connected and have a couple of usb memory sticks. I have a surface pro 6 that connects to the Dell USB hub via a single USB cable. So I can use all of the monitors, sound bar, microphone, etc via this one USB A cable. Now one of the other laptops I have was hooked up to another USB hub by IBM. That USB hub has a 27inch monitor hooked up to it and that's all that is hooked up. However, recently I was sent a replacement laptop from work and that new laptop has nothing but USB-c ports on it. So before I buy any adapters to convert the USB-C to something that will let me use that IBM USB Hub and 27 inch monitor, I want to see about becoming much more minimalistic and clean up and reduce power consumption etc. One last thing I will throw in is I am working on another project for another company and they sent me a new MacBook Pro 16 inch that has nothing but USB-C. Then I discovered that lovely feature that is known as USB-C where you can use a single cable to connect the MacBook Pro to a single USB-C port say on a USB hub and the hub would also charge that MacBook laptop. Now taking everything into consideration, this is what I am looking for. I want to get a 49 ultra wide, I want to get rid of the (3) 27 inch monitors, I want to get rid of the USB hubs and this type of reduction would allow me to get rid of 3 monitor power bricks that take up a ton of space. It will also allow me to get rid of 2 power connections from the hubs. The on Dell hub I have a nice sleeve like device that hides all the wires except the usb a cable that connects the Surface and a power cord comes down below my monitors that power the surface. I am building a custom raising desk and plan on hiding the laptops below the desk on brackets or mini shelf so the laptops are out of the way. They 3 laptops will be mounted underneath and close to the back of the desktop. That way I can run two usb-c (1 for the MacBook and 1 for the new Dell) and one display port (for the Surface pro). I want the cables to plug into a single ultrawide monitor and I want to be able to use/display two laptops at once on the single monitor. I want to use a single mouse/keyboard on any one of the 3 laptops. I understand I may not be able to get all 3 laptops connected to the monitor at the same time but that is definitely something I hope could be done. I want to be able to display 3 laptops on the monitor at the same time or at least 2 laptops at the same time with the ability to flip a switch to go to the 3 laptop or pick and choose which of the monitors I want to see on the screen at the same time. Of course I also want the microphone, sound bar and other usb devices to be shareable on any of the 3 laptops. I am sure I may run into a roadblock, for example, I do not think I would be able to have a sound bar or microphone work on two machines at the same time nor would I want to. I have read about some of the ultrawide monitors having a kvm type switch. Question is, can I have it switch between 3 laptops? Can I still have two machines using the monitor but the speaker and microphone doesn’t work till I say flip a kvm switch? I have researched but could not find info on any of the ultrawides that have multiple USB-c ports if you can have more than one laptop be charged via USB-C at the same time. Matter of fact several of the newer hubs out that will have one USB-C port specifically made to charge a laptop and then have other usb-c ports that don’t seem to be able to charge a 2nd laptop. I also saw in one USB-C hub that while charging a mac laptop via USB-C it seemed to be under powered and other connected devices were having issues because that recharging of the laptop was using most of the power on the device and that is with only one laptop being charged. This was a lot to write but I had to get it written down to share. I picture no laptops on my new desk, a single keyboard/mouse Bluetooth wireless, all laptops hidden under desk connected to a single monitor. The usb-c laptops would get charged by the monitor and the Surface pro that does not have USB-C would have a power brick connected to it. The microphone would be mounted on edge of desk next to monitor. If the monitor can support ethernet that would be nice but not a big deal. Looking for some help on this. My backup plan would be to get another hub but then I am not sure what to get when it comes to having a hub that could charge two USB-C based laptops at the same time and not have a power problem for other devices.
Awesome video man! Subscribed! 🔥
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I am currently also having a mac and a win pc and I want to get productivity as well as gaming out of it. But I cant find any reference that the mac book pro 16' can actually do 120hz. Are you sure about this? And if yes, how to accomplish this?
So I'm waiting for upgraded version with usb-c ... I can wait, no rush for now :)
Nice review !
I am on the team G9. Great video!
How's the monitor going with the MacBook Pro? Do you get hear any cracking / popping noises when it gets hot?
You deserve more subscribers Pete! I would say that your content is gold ;)
Agreed. Much better than many other with 500k - 2m subs
@@ksoonsoon I highly agree on this, I will even say I'm pretty sure that his TH-cam channel will be big or even bigger than Unbox Therapy, MKBHD or Linus Tech Tips ;)
@@TheParaSIET Yep. I’ve seen a lot from those other channels and they’re not really even close to his.
Ooooh nice smooth BROLL - I like it ;-)
Very nice video mate, I’m using a laptop with the Belkin thunderbolt dock so I will most likely not be able to get the screen above 60hz refresh rate. Cheers
Very well done review and 6 month follow up. Thanks. My question: if my 2021 MacBook Pro will only drive this monitor at 120hz, (w proper cable) should I just buy the cheaper 144hz version?
Hey Pete. How did you configure the display settings for the macbook pro to support more than 60hz? I can see the refresh rate button but it is locked (disabled) at 60hz when I am connected to my g9. From what I read online the 16in Pro is not capable of more than 60hz even on an external display.
Thanks mate, I think you just helped me make up my mind about getting this lol. One question though, whats the setup like using two pcs at the same time? Is it something you've tried?
You just gained a new subscriber 👊
@@PeteMatheson Awesome! Thanks a bunch. Placed an order lol. Keep up the great work.
I'm watching this while putting stuff off :)
Great video. I got two questions:
1. I am a Programmer, so I look at a lot of text. Is the curve too much for text focused work?
2. I want to game at 2560x1440, 16:9 (Bad GPU), Is the cruve too deep to play at that aspext ratio? Would it be better if I can push 21:9 and 3440x1440?
How do you know if youre getting the updated model? is there a version number to look out for?
I'm curious how it will look with a pair of 49's Wont it annoy you with different wrap/angles.....?
Really helpful video. I have a Mac Pro (late 2013) so I don't have USB-C. Do you know of a way to use this monitor with the machine I have?
hello, I have the c49 model, I connected my 2019 MacBook but the colors are washed out on the monitor. When connecting a windows the colors look fine. Is there a fix for this?
Hello can you hook 2 systems at the same time? I just discovered recently some 49 inch monitors Dan have different displays like that and it’s interesting to me. Thanks.
What is that gadget at your left, that looks like having app’s icons? A small black Display?
Great review. My desk depth is only 40cm just enough to place this beast on it. But really wonder that my TKL keyboard will fit in angular middle space of the stand. Do you have any idea? Thanks
Love these types of reviews. I plan to use it for video editing in premier. Would you say it's color accurate? Should I calibrate?
@@PeteMatheson thank you!
any problems updating your firmware? i cannot get any USB, Format, File Type, Firmware 1006 or 1008, Connected or Disconnected, To work...
I have the previous model samsung crg9 . I tried hdmi 2.1 on a Mac mini and only showed 3840x1080p instead 5120x1440 120hz...I returned the mini.Must I get this cable too for the new MacBook Air m1 ? Thx
I’m subscribe I’m French I like your vidéo ! +one subscriber
Hello I'm french. I was able to test this display several times in a store by taking my MacBook Pro connected via HDMI to the display. But I noticed something is that the mac only works as a screenshot or desktop extension. When I close the computer, the screen did not want to recognize the source and went to black screen with "no signal" I see that in the video you manage to connect with your computer off, can you please me. explain how? thank you
Hi Pete! We have a similar back wall color. Does the LED at the back give some reflecting effect? Hard to determine with your LED desk setup. Thanks in advance!
@@PeteMatheson Thanks for the info!
Does the G9 have the built in KVM switch that allows two seperate PCs to be connected to the monitor via picture by picture mode to use the same mouse and keyboard ?
Hi sir, may i know if this G9 supports Picture By Picture & picture in picture, just like Dell 49"? How are the split "screens" (PBP) looking? Very scretched or fit to 2 computers' true resolutions?
what do you think about this monitor for cad 3d? (i use solidworks and i never used a curved monitor, only flat)
thanks
Good review. What speakers do you have?
What about connecting the MBP directly to the monitor with a usb-c? Does that work? What about the refreshrate?
Great video Pete! I have replaced my LG 49" for the Samsung Odyssey G9 mainly because of the 1000R curve as I find it easier to see the screen. However, I'm finding it hard charging my laptop at the same time as using the monitor as my laptop only has 1 USB-C port for both charging and connecting the monitor. I have a ThinkPad docking station and I've tried connecting the monitor via Display Port 1.4 however I cannot get the 5120 x 1440 resolution when using this set up. Not sure what my options are :( Any advice?
I am having the same issue. Amazon warehouse is selling the old version with false information on their product description. I am maxed out at 3840 X 1080 60Hz but paid for the 5120 X 1440 240Hz refresh rate. Read the Amazon reviews, I see someone with the same issue.
Did you find a CalDigit Hub that supports 120 Hz with just the USB-C connection (i.e. no need for that other cable to be connected to the Mac) yet ?
Pete seems like such a chill dude
Can you write what is the newer version model number of this screen and the old version model. I don't know what is consider to be newer in my country.
Good morning!
I've got the new MacBook Air. Is it possible to connect this to the monitor? I can't seem to get it to work - I'm not sure if it's me or whether the Air doesn't have the power to connect.
Thanks a lot!
I have one since yesterday! Love it❤ And tomorrow arrive my rtx 3090... whoop whooop
that same USBC to DisplayPort cable I bought on Amazon is not working with my MacBook Pro 2017 . I’ve tried everything :(
Fun video Pete😊 I have the Acer XR38something and have been wondering about going 49 for a while. Is 49 that much better than 38? I’m just talking productivity here - no gaming on my work Mac!
@@PeteMatheson Hey Pete, I'm poised to buy and was wondering if you'd had any problems with the G9, like the cracking noise some have reported as it heats up and cools down. Also do you have any experience with the alternatives from Philips and LG? It's proving a ittle tricky to grasp the differences between them all. I won't be gaming so figure the G9 might over overkill🤣 though I can see the 1000R curve could be a clincher.
Hey Pete, great video! Would this monitor work with the bog standard Mac Book pro? (2021 version)
Hi Pete. What are the best settings to get 240hz out of this monitor......assuming your PC can handle it?????
Hi great video, thank you! Can you tell me if there’s any way around having to buy a caldigit in addition to the cable that you mention? I am lucky enough to have been bought this monitor for work purposes, but now need to get it connected to my 2019 MacBook Pro. It would be fantastic if you could let me know specifically what I need to buy that is affordable and effective..
Thanks for educating us all!
I use an arm for my 49 inch and it looks good and creates more space on the desk.
Just picked one of these up today, but I cannot seem to get my MBP 2021 model to work in Clkam mode, any ideas why?
Are the model numbers the same for the original pulled version and newer released?
One warning before you try to wall mount it or put it on a desk arm. I’m not aware of any mount that is capable of handling that monitor, regardless of what its weight limit is advertised to be. The problem is that the curve of the monitor makes it so front heavy that mounts simply aren’t strong enough to hold it without it drooping forward. Look around the web and you’ll see people who have arms that advertise over 40 pounds still cannot handle this. Make sure that any mount purchased in the future have tested with this specific monitor.
The Maxonar cable is not working for me, did you have to change any of the settings? Im using MacBook Pro M1 2020 but the resolution is terrible im not able to get the 5120 x 1440
Amazing gear!!! Webcam model on G9?
Does anybody know how to add snap zones when using a MacBook Air or a iPad Pro?
Great video! I'm trying to find a desk big enough to be comfortable with using a 49" monitor. What's the dimensions of your desk?
Can the cable you recommended provide power to the monitor or only data? I ordered a Mac Studio recently and need a monitor to go with it. The G9 looks really nice.
Hi Pete, have you thought of attaching the G9 monitor to a monitor arm and remove the base stand? If so, what monitor support arm do you suggest?
g9 curve made a huge dif in my life.
Do you get full 5120x1440 resolution on your Mac when using that usb c to display port?
I have a question i have imac from 2007 and mine question will this monitor support it ?
I bought the same cable and i can’t get it to come on the monitor . Just shows black screen .. i have MacBook Pro 16 inch got the same usb c DisplayPort 1.4 but can’t get it to come on . Any suggestions to get this to work ?
Hey random dude. Really enjoyed your video. Have you tested zoom or any online meeting app. Wondering how your screen looks to others when you share?
@@PeteMatheson thanks. I was thinking that will need to be the way. There are times when I need to share two side by side documents while callabrating on a work project.
I'm sure I'll figure it out. Stay awesome....
I think whatever device you use, you will need the latest displayport cable (1.4a I think) to run the full mhz. I have an Asus 34" RoG monitor and the G9 is the monitor I am thinking of upgrading to. I recently bought an RTX 3090 GPU and have an i9 CPU.
Yup, just bought this monitor(should arrive next Tuesday!) but in order to get the full 240hz, you will need a DP 1.4 cable. I had to buy that as well since my current cable is only 1.2.
Please help me, I want to know if this monitor can be connected with MacBook Air? if possible, which cable do you need to buy? Is it possible to connect MacBook Air to Odisseia G9 via HUB? Is there any risk of overheating or burning my MacBook?
Recommend an arm for this monitor, the stand looks pretty bad?
The G9 has an VA panel. How do you find this for photo editing and video editing? I would have thought an IPS panel would have been better suited for you?
I went with the Dell 49 because I wanted the IPS panel. If the G9 had an option for an IPS panel then it would of been more tempting to get that one.
So once you got the cable, the flickering was gone? Or still there when pushing it to 120hz with the cable?
I keep looking at this monitor, however, still cannot work out what would be best for my setup due to having 2 windows pcs and 1 MacBook pro.
As I am always using the mac on one side of the screen and switching between the two desktops on the other. However, I keep changing the keyboard inputs and reconfiguring the mouse every time and using a KVM for a few USB devices and the buttons on my current monitor to switch between the other desktops which seems the best solution at the moment, however, cannot think of a better way.
what model number is this Odyssey g9? I heard there are multiple models, one being the LC49G95TSSMXZN, LC49G95TSSNXZA, and LC49G97TSSNXDC.
Also, did you experience any issues?
Great review 👍 have you tried to run it with bootcamp?
I don’t think it is. I only get usage of about a third of the screen
Does the screen charge my MBP 13 when connected?
why would I do that when I want to leave display port in my pc
The fix was a g-sync problem not an issue with the monitor. It was updated.
Display Clarity like Text or image is sharp on Samsung or MacBook... Please Tell..I wanted to buy.
@@PeteMatheson does the lg 27gn950b have better clarity?i think the samsung va have sharper image and easier on the eye
I ordered a g9 in the Amazon black Friday sale, saving £200. Very excited to set it up. Upon turning it on there was a issue with a single dead pixel, red. Sadly not in the far left or right but bang center just to the right . I have read on Samsung main page many people having issues with dead pixels. But ignoring this, I also had issues with games, I have a rtx3090 and 10900k 5.4 overclocked rig as I build gaming pcs here in Cornwall as a business. I have used the screen for 1 day and ask for collection, the big issues is the compromise. To run a game at 240hz you have to ideal loose her and definitely dxr (raytracing). So you gain smooth FPS, but make it look naff. I then tried the picture in picture to have in effect 2x27 screens side by side. This would then give me a single issue 27 screen with hopefully HDR and raytracing. But nope you get reverted to 120 hZ maximum. Another issue is setting up game resolutions, I forced a more of 3440x1440 making black lines side by side, windows worked but the game Borderlands did not respect it unless you play borderless, in effect stretching the screen. My conclusion is the hardware is not there yet even with a 3090 and godly cpu as a gaming monitor. With the bad pixel in my face I have let it go sadly. Back to my Asus 100hz ultrawide
@@PeteMatheson they did release a firmware update that fixed the flashing, I applied the update and this may have fixed the vrr HDR issue with flashing. My issues was with game company's make the games to certain resolution's. I hoped forcing the g9 to those resolutions would help but it started to stretch them. I had a few times the pc hand completely on me forcing a whole pc reboot. The monitor performed as it will. But with games not making those resolutions viable that's the issue. One example dlss is Nvidias trick to allow more FPS in 4k. And as this screen is close to 4k resolution due to it been 1440x extra wide 5120. This means you take a hit at these resolutions and without dlss ray tracing is a big hit on FPS, which means you can't get the 240hz. This monitor is ahead of it's time a little I would say. I loved the 1000r curve and in the game I played battlefield V it looked amazing (but I had to choose lower FPS loosing 240hz loosing HDR and ray tracing)
a bit late to the party here but thanks for the review. I was thinking in doing the same for light gaming, swapping my 49" Dell for G9 but having no USB C charging is a deal breaker for me.
How is this Samsung with productivity ie excel, outlook, word etc? Are the letters crisp?
Hi... (min 9:47) - (USB C to Display Port 1.4 cable) please share the Amazon link. Thanks.
