Going to get one soon! Thank you for sharing the video 😊
Thank you for this. Just received... and it is mindblowingly beautiful. 32.9 games are SO immersive. The color and contrast so vibrant. No idea what took me so long. STUNNING!
What is the max height with the screen fully lowered?
@@drmikedibella 17 inches to top of stand...16.5 top of screen.21.5 inches fully raised.
Hi does the monitor have like an anti-glare grey matte finish on the display? Or is it a glossy display? Thank you!
Finally, a new G9 Odyssey review.
I know right? I'm so surprised more reviewers arent picking it up for reviews
So amazing this monitor! Mine will be here soon can't wait
Thank you. Great details and feedback. Wish this thing had an audio jack and more HDMI ports.
Great review. Can you share the wallpaper from the user interface section?
My dream monitor😍
Amazing monitor 🔥🔥🔥, I like and appreciate it , thank you for this amazing video
Great monitor.
nice review bud
I definitely need this monitor for scrolling emails and coding
You joke (maybe), but you'd be surprised just how exemplary these monitors are for day-to-day tasks. I'm a writer by trade, so I can have three windows open at once and not have to Alt-Tab back and forth. When I'm done, I'll boot up Photoshop and have all that space to arrange my toolsets, load After Effects and Premiere side-by-side, Ableton, whatever. I have never used a monitor that is so absolutely brilliant for everyday tasks.
Love mine.
Hi Tim :) Thanks for the review!! One question.. is it possible to install the son6 ps5 4emote play app directly to the monitor??
Have this monitor for a few months now. Its great. One thing I dont like is if you are using it in a room with a TV (I have a Samsung TV near my monitor) it will pick up all IR remote control devices within 20 feet and theres no way to go around this unless you physically block the IR receiver on the monitor (I used a piece of aluminum foil cover) so be aware of that if you are putting it in a living room. Otherwise its amazing. Love the OLED.
In terms of desktop use/productivity/gaming, do you suffer a lot from burn in or can I rest easy? Usually in monitors I always use 40% brightness
Only came out in June, you're talking shit, this is the revised version, same name different number "49" G95SC Odyssey OLED"
'. Bm
@@NeverGiveUpz Huh? "have this monitor for a few months now." It's September. June to September is a "few months."
@lollovecchio8510 I use it for gaming and video playback 99% of the time so im hoping to not have to deal with burn in in the future...
Best Gaming Monitor
Mann that is one awesome monster... oh sorry monitor !!!
😬 bruh
I was looking at so many different screens and this one was the best choice. It’s more but it’s great. I play Battlefield 2042 and it’s an amazing view. If your video card is not up to it don’t bother. However if you have a gaming rig this is the one. I have no issues on web browsers reading text either. People complained about that. I saw zero issues. It’s beautiful. Even the speakers are fine. The backlighting is cool too it must be activated in the games menu. Overall great item.
what GPU do you have? I have an 2080TI and am not so sure about this screen....
what GPU do you have? i have a 3070 and thinking about this monitor rather than by 2 x monitor setup i have at the moment!
I have the pny 4080 Rtx ,64 gb of ddr5 ram I9 13 series processor however any recent gaming card would work fine. I’m glad I made the choice on this screen. No issues.
any plans on reviewing the odyssey 57''
I'm thinking of something that can be used as a tv and a monitor, so 42" might be the right size. It should be mounted on something that can be moved up at when it's used as a TV and moved down to the desk height when being used as a monitor. Is there anything like that?
Ever heard of the oddysey ark
The monitor this one replaced was the AORUS FV43U mounted on the wall. I still think 43" is the sweet spot for a tv/monitor display. I do love this one though.
@qbking77, I didn't hear anything mentioned about how the USB hub works? Can you use it to share a keyboard and mouse between computers like the LG? In the manual it shows that you can connect 2 computers by using a y splitter usb cable. Have you tried that? I want to be able to split the screen Mac|Windows and share a keyboard, mouse, headset, camera.
Did you get the answer on this? I am also looking for this monitor to replace my dual monitors for a Mac setup.
@@shahsnak it is just a dumb hub. It doesn't do any smart switching.
Tim, 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.
A fucking beast ❤😅
Which cable do u need to set the max resolution at 5120x1440 the display port cable that comes with the monitor or a hdmi cable i heard the hdmi can do the 3840x2160 resolution if use a hdmi cable but im planning on gettin this in november and i just want to make sure i have it set at the max resolution.
Displayport 1.4 cable, with a graphics card supporting DSC (Display Stream Compression), which would be the AMD 5000-series or above (not sure if lower supports it), or Nvidia 2000-series or above. Not looked into the HDMI specs yet.
The lack of DP 2.1 vs the last gen 1.4 being on this monitor is what really holds me back, other than that, Shes beautiful
dont quite need DP2.1 for a monitor with a resolution that is less than any 4k monitor.
DP 1.4 works fine even with 240Hz via DSC (Display Stream Compression)
Don't need DP 2.1 unless you're running a 4k super ultrawide or QHD super ultrawide beyond 240Hz
That is one silly thing to not include on a brand new top of the line - 'more expensive than a 65" OLED TV' - monitor, you're right. Same as with the other G9's. You can do 5120x1440 at 240Hz with DSC though, yeah. But, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to compress it purely for the sake of compressing it.
@@Nightykkagain as the other said you don't need display port on a 1440p monitor plus never ever compare price to tv because no tv has 240 Hz plus tv been out much longer then a monitor so basically OLED tech been out on tv Way before monitors got it
Is Samsung the best Ultrawide monitor brand for this year? any alternatives? LG?
I just bought the LG 45GR95QE-B 45" OLED because these are too wide for my taste but it looks like a nice screen specifically for games.
I have the lg too. I feel like the 45in is the sweet spot. I do want to try this though with my 4090
My LG got a big green line down the screen after a month of use so had to return it. Ended up getting this Samsung instead two days ago. So far I’m loving it
@@Noelyk1987 that sucks man, I had mines since day one and had no problems, I love it, the G9 oled is a little to narrow for me I think.
@@Noelyk1987Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it doesn't happen to mine.
What you have forgotten in the productivity side is when you split the screen into two separate monitors using both inputs if both are able to keep Gsync ON and the refresh rate I have the neo previous generation and that never worked I wonder if this iteration now improve that.
It is so absurd seeing fifa on this type of monitor, i love it!
Had this for about 5 months now and its been flawless... Gaming on Bf2042 is beautiful Utube vids looks great and even text is just fine.... So far nothing can compete..... except the bigger one that came afterwards but it wouldnt fit on my desk ...
Super Big Long Monitor!!! 🖐🏻😲🖐🏻
Hey Tim, does the monitor have streaming apps like Disney+ if so are you able to play HDR content? also movies is usually 21:9 are you able to utilise this aspect ratio when wathing movies? also can you confirm if the Phillips Hue Sync App if this monitor has this software too. Thanks for great content good sir! What do you think of the newest Samsung G9 with dual 4K 32:9 non OLED monitor?
BATTLE STATION WORTHY😂 im getting one!
Hello I just subscribed .. Do you have any recomendation to connect my LG Gram laptop using a Type-c to this Samsung Oled Monitor? Thanks in advance!!!
Oh holy 😮
That damn Tim gets all of the fun toys.😂😂😂
😂😂
The only feature this thing needs to be an instant buy is dual screen mode where each half is driven by a different input. Unfortunately, it's not clear that this is an option.
It has PBP
It can do it, that's my favorite feature.
@@eduardoluna5386what’s the refresh rate of both separate inputs? 2x 120Hz or 2x 240Hz ?
@@Roxelchen iirc pbp mode limits to 120 hz, im not 100% tho, i havent recieved mine yet
I’m sold on the FIFA gameplay. Will it be just as wide playing FIFA with a PS5 as input source?
do you mind the 1800r vs 1000r ? I can't decide between this and the 57 ultrawide
Does it work with the MacBook Air M2?
does it force you to go through internet and voice assistant setup and whatever? i just want an oled pc monitor that's 5120x1440, 240hz, supports freesync, and i don't want any of the smart tv stuff. this seems to be the only one in the market that could work for me.
Yeah I dont get it.. I don't know anyone that would use their gaming monitor to watch tv? Also don't understand the speakers..... Who buys a monitor worth this much but doesn't have headphones or an independent speaker setup?
Theres a version of this monitor that's 200 less without all that
Tried this monitor, but honestly when gaming the fishbowl effect made me nauseous and killed the immersion. Returned it went with the G8 34” OLED instead.
Nice what's the asking price
Did anyone ever find out if we can use the dualscreen mode to have the TV streaming on one half, and then my PC desktop on the other half? Also, thank you so much for this video. I just bought this monitor and had no idea that there even was a settings page until I watched this video.
yes you can stream and have pc on other side
I don't know if I should buy the smart version or not. what do you think?
I'm So confused right now...I wish to upgrade my gaming monitors .I have looked at that many I cant decide. Do I get one large ultra wide, or multiple monitors (say around 34")..I am looking at getting the rtx 4090 with an I9, but even with that still wouldn't be able to run at run refresh rate.I have looked at that many reviews im a little over loaded, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm curious how the audio coming off the monitor is... is that mentioned anywhere?
Where is the plug?
How does this compare to the Lg ultragear 45 oled
PS5 will be working on this samsung monitor 240Hz? I am still looking for the right Samsung monitor with 240hz or higher.
what would be the ideal desk depth for this monitor?
Your eyes have to be minimum 82cms/32inches away from it for it to become retina, so you can't see the pixels.
@@andyb9664 Thanks, very helpful!
i have mine about arms length away, so around 3 ft, and i can see the whole screen clearly. even the words im typing which i couldt do with my old monitor even 7 inchs from my face, but then again i need new glasses, almost time for a new prescription, but yea. if you llok it up the curvature size should tell you, 1000r is recommended at 1M, 1800r is 1.8M, at least from what ive found researching it, i also had to get a monitor stand for my desk, not a VESA mount but a stand, cuz i felt like i was angling my head downwards a little too much and it was hurting my neck, but ive had this monitor for about a week now n i recommend it for anyone thinking about it,
nice video 💙💛
ive had this and a monoprice and the monoprice is less finicky.
so, is it a two 2k 27inch monitors in combine?
My question is how can you multi screen with just using your PC? I do not like the smart steaming features and would rather have my game on one side and my pc browser on the other.
That's really a letdown that you can't stream content and have your computer up side-by-side. I'd imagine a lot of people would want that for watching Netflix while doing work on the other half, for example
Y not open a browser and stream Netflix?
yes you can
if you hook up you PC and a gaming system you can, I do all the time, Multiview with PC on left and PS5 on right, otherwise i just have my PC on the whole screen,
What is the max height of the screen when fully lowered?
Can this monitor show two inputs at once? If I had my PC on one and my mac on another?
I literally just want to know how you got into the menu on min 9:11… you skipped the only part I was looking for… Dang, can you tell me?
Is this monitor VESA mountable?
I’m going to take my LG ultra gear monitor back and get this tomorrow.
Just picked this up and I have 1 major complaint. When I use the monitor for netflix or any streaming service it switches from my PC speakers to the speaker in the screen and I can't figure out how to stop that
COSTCO gonna sell this on black friday for 800$... but to game on those resolutions, you need at least a 4080-4090.
Wish we could find a real review that wasnt paid for by the company.
can you use the smart things app with this monitor?
Hi, I got the monitor, it's really nice, but what settings or cameras should be used in football games? The image is too stretched, what can I do?? A thousand thanks
sorry for my english ;)
I like it a lot but is it possible to attach it directly to the wall with some brackets or something similar?
It has a VESA 100x100 so you can do what you want with that
Samsung knocked an extra $200 the education price of 1400 for me, for a total of 1200 (pre tax)! I'm picking this bad boy up in 4 days. Can't friggin wait!!!
@@AppIeOfficial I cancelled my order actually. How'd you get one for $700? From who? I would be definitely down to get it for that much.
Currently encountering an issue whith mine where it will turn on but the screen stays completely black. Only had it for 3 weeks.
a monitor with their TV OS...oh boy.
Part of me is like yeahh giant monitor awesome! Another part of me is like 😶 woah that is a huge monitor is that really practical or useable for every day stuff it seems like a lot. I mean if I could make like a floating minimalist kind of setup I mean yeah I guess? It just seems like way too much for sitting in a chair not that far from it lol
There are many videos cards and even NUC type PCs with dual displayport etc, that can drive two 2650x1440 outputs side by side.
i thought along the same lines, but now i can have the windows i need open all at once n not have to switch from screen to screen, and i can read all text clearly and i have it about arms length away so i can easily see the whole monitor without much turning my head, was going to wait on the 57" next month but figured THAT would be too much, i mean that woulkd be wider than my tv in my room, not taller but wider by 2". I love this monitor. I highly recommend it.
@@608MAN1AC 🤔 Oh really? It does make sense with that high a resolution there wouldn't be too much fatigue. I'll have to check into it more then. I thought it would be too much though.
As someone who has used 32:9 monitors for the last 5 years, I can tell you this - once you buy one, you will never, ever go back. The amount of versatility these monitors offer is nothing short of spectacular, particularly if you pair it with PowerToys' FancyZones software.
@@MaestroDraven 😯 wait really? 🤔 I guess I'd better look into one then. I'm really wanting to ditch the two monitors just for a single monitor. Two monitors have been fine but I constantly find myself adjusting them to hide the bezels and I'm not really using them as much as I thought. For work I end up just using the one so I thought maybe I should minimize my setup and go one ultrawide. Thanks for the advice :)
I've been trying to find a remote control for this as I've seen a couple reviewers using one with it. Not having any luck finding one. Does anyone have any suggestions?
So at the moment of writing I have a work laptop and in the future I want to have a gaming rig. Question, How do I use the usb C connections on this monitor? Do I have to connect my laptop with usb c -> USb C ? To power the other 2 USB C connectons for a bluetooth mouse and keyboard or headset? I want my mouse, keyboard and or headset to work in the future when I connect a gaming rig through displayport 1.4.
when you say you want a gaming rig are you talking about using a tower type pc or using the laptop with the monitor itself?
What kind of cable do I run from my PC to the monitor?
Have u have 2 screen from 2 seperate PC?
How do you connect a Mac mini and get the full resolution? I’m trying to figure out what cable I need or dock I need
Io ho problemi collegandolo con cavo HDMI, credo vada bene solo con USB-C to DisplayPort :(
Do you know how long the power cable is total?
so has your monitor snapped in half yet?
Ryan Gosling doing monitor reviews now? :)))
Wondering if I should replace my 34” OLED with this. Can get it for $1200
Amazon has it for $999 right now
@@eddieyan3017 wrong monitor
that will not be it at all.... In Australia, you can only get this one from Samsung itself. No resellers. They are selling a different version with very similar names.
Carefull with multiview. I have the G8 and today I was playing with setting up multiview and I got image retention on the left side of the screen. It went away after I turned off and back on after a few minutes.
How do I use multiview with netflix?
This is the cg95 right?
Is me or it’s to narrow? I’m currently using LG C2 48inch tv.
Monitors will always be better than a TV for gaming G. Your tripping.
just missing 1 big feauture. i want to use this 1 screen as 2 screens. or maybe even 3 if it fits in thhe aspect ratio.
no problems there
@@JoeMama-yl1ow this monitor can do that? Never seen one that had that
@@DjangoGroen i know it can do MultiView with a PC n PS5, but im not sure about 3, technically that would then be PBP and from what i can find this one doesnt support that even though it says it does, i cant figure out how to set it up, cuz i want to put my PS5 in the middle of screen at 16:9 then the other half the screen split on either side for streaming/ recording on one side and the other i have my chat windows open,
Also does the screen have gloss or matte finish? Thanks!!
It doesn't thankfully
Does anyone know how to make this work with a ps4? I am experiencing some lag and also the screen doesnt stretch to show the full display
Can't get high resolution with the MacBook M3 Pro to save my life.. but I get the 5K resolution as soon as I plug the MacBook into another 49" monitor without any issue. I might have to return this thing.
What are the audio specs?
Good luck bro, ver interesting video. i have one question from you. Boh of those monitors have same resolution......x1440 in height, does not matter in lenght , of course samsung is longer. I am talking about height 1440. why are they looking different than each other in height , lg looks taller than samsung in height, but it is said both of these have same resolution in height ...x1440. tell me the why?
Resolution has to do with pixel count not height.
I am getting conflicting information about sound. Does this monitor have built in speakers or no?
yes
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?
It has built in speakers, tho I will say PS5 doesn’t support ultra wide but you can still use it
This monitor I believe is currently on sale on Amazon and I honestly wish I had the funds to try it out!
Is this monitor #SamsungOdesseyG9 a 4k of a 5k resolution-monitor?
For some reason mine stays at 120 Hz when I’m playing call of duty Warzone
Who else wants Samsung to make a 3.2K - 4K 360hz 45 inch G9 odyssey ultrawide monitor like the LG 45 inch ultrawide
I have been trying to find the measurements for the stand can anyone help me😢
All the specs i see on this say it supports free sync, will this work fine with Nvidia cards ?
Yes
the txt on this monitor looks blurry
So basically, everything looks stretched!
just games that dont support 32:9, when i have my PC on it isnt strecthed looking like games are, i mean it makes it fill the whole screen but, thats it, it still looks normal just way more real estate on screen with no bezels in the middle n no brief pauses for the mouse cursor to go from one half to the other, its an amazing monitor, if i game i use Multiview mode so its not stretched,
Most modern games offer 32:9 support right out of the box. Others you can simply play pillar-boxed at the normal aspect ratio. There's a ton of versatility in these monitors, but yes, newer games benefit more from it. Older games may have 32:9 support but you might notice a "fish-eye" effect on the left and right sides. This can be remedied by jacking up the FOV to maximum in most games. That being said.......you'll get used to it within a week and it won't be noticeable anymore.
