The Samsung Odyssey G9, also known as the LC49G95T, is a 49” super ultrawide monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, a 1,000nit VESA displayHDR certified screen, and quantum dot for great colors. And it’s GSYNC compatible! It’s everything…but can the VA panel keep up without smearing the blacks??

Got me giggling with this one, bravo!
Nice to see fellow programmers around

As a programmer... loooooooool
@I am a Bot yes you are
Fyi to whoever uses LTT’s amazon link: The link is for the 2019 version. The 2020 version was recalled and will be sold again later. The price for this monitor is $1800. The amazon link is 1100. Just Buyer Beware with that link. Edit: Basically the G9 spoken of in this video is no longer available on amazon. Using this link might lead a typical buyer to purchase the “Amazon Choice” top pick of the Samsung 49 inch CRG9 Curved Gaming Monitor. Which in a quick glance sounds exactly like the monitor in this video. This was likely an oversight and will be fixed (either by LTT or Samsung once they re-release the product). Just note this if you want this and try using that link around the second half of 2020 (no announced dates yet for this)
Need to get this comment to the top. Thanks for letting everyone know
Thanks for the heads up! I'm an owner of the the 2019 version - got it a few months ago and it's solid. No flickering, 120hz (100hz w/ 10-bit, so no DSC), and only 1800R (1000R would have been my pick). For $700 less it's a consideration especially if productivity is the main use. It also is an amazingly immersive gaming monitor. AOC has the same panel but less back light and no local dimming that regularly is $1k on amazon (better warranty) - Agon AG493UCX. These monitors are expensive, but the experience of moving to a 1440p super ultra wide is pretty amazing - especially for WFH.
@@aaronromine how you knew it was 2019 version sir?
@@douglasward718 woah, I wish I knew that before buying my monitor.
Where are you seeing an Amazon product listing for any G9? There is no 2019 version. They "released" it in February of this year and then it was promptly recalled, without any real explanation, shortly afterward. You literally cannot buy this monitor if you are in the US or Canada. Any link to it has been listed as "discontinued." The product search that the Amazon affiliate link in the description takes you to doesn't list a G9 anywhere on the page, because it's been delisted from their store front. Like every other store front. Not sure about other markets (Europe, Asia, etc). But the vast majority of Linus' audience literally, with no exceptions, cannot buy this monitor. So I don't know why this video was uploaded. Linus should know all of this, given his... like entire job, and whatnot. EDIT: Oh, forgot to link the actual Amazon listing for this monitor: www.amazon.com/dp/B088HH6LW5 Just in case you guys want to see for yourselves.

To fix the flickering issue you go their website and download their firmware update from early july. It was solved instantly after the update.
Good to hear
Nope still broken and I'm using 7.1 update and its a September model.
Still have minor flickering on my G9 after updating firmware to 1008.1. There's no flickering with VRR enabled but with VRR, I get a lot of stuttering in games. In the process of getting mine exchanged.
@Waldel Martell spend many times that for an ultrawide immersive experience that a regular monitor just cant deliver
@Waldel Martell such a weird argument- you do realize that the majority of people who bought this monitor isn't gonna comment about any issues. If you expect every single product to not have any issues for every person that buys them- that's never happened... like ever.
Would love to see a comparison to the LG CX 48 once the 3080 series comes out. I'm using the CX48 as my gaming monitor and even with the reduced color on a 2080ti, it is simply incredible, and I'm coming from the LG 38" ultrawide.
I've had this monitor since last November. I do notice the light flickering sometimes but it's only been in certain instances. Overall I love it, yeah it's a bit pricey but the hope is as these become more standard, and more people buy them, market prices will go down. Highly recommend

Broken Games huh? You got any cites for those claims my guy?
I have the Samsung CHG90, which is the 3840x1080/144hz older version of the G9. I have a love/hate relationship with the aspect ratio. I *love* having it for work, and will probably eventually buy the G9 for productivity. But It's really not great for any of the games I've played on it. Most don't have any support for anything higher than 2560x1440, so I either have to play full-screen with black bars (defeating the ability to multi-task), or play in windowed mode. In the couple of games that I have played that support 32:9, it's surprisingly straining to have UI elements so far outside of my field of view. It's really not cool having to turn my head to see a minimap, or completely miss notification flags in the corners. But damn, I never want to go back to a 2 monitor setup.
Every time I see the new intro I am so stoked because that new intro is straight F I R E. Great job LTT team. Not buying a monitor more expensive than my car -> life hack sell your car for the down payment on the monitor and you're set right?

I would seriously wait for a second revision of this monitor. The "recall" i think is about the flickering but also apparrently quite a few people have had problems with extreme light bleed due to layers of the screen or the bezel around it not being mounted well enough.
Their 2nd revision is also faulty.

@@spookymane8839 yeah, remember its just a 1440 screen.. so its actually less pixels than a 4k (if my math is correct) i’ve been having difficulty running the 240fps tho.

I really like this, please keep doing non-sponsored reviews as we need more honesty in this industry.
Sponsored reviews don't always mean dishonest. Especially on reputable channels like LTT. Alot of creators also don't let sponsored by the product content be called reviews, like how MKBHD mentioned in his video
None of LTT's reviews are sponsored by the company making the product. They have had videos where they talk about a product that is sponsored by the maker, but they label them as "product showcase," never as "review." I believe the main reason they labeled this video as non-sponsored was because their unboxing of it was sponsored by Samsung, so they felt the need to clarify that this was not. Or it is possibly a test to see if the video performs better by putting non-sponsored in the title
in my mind there can't be a sponsored review anyway. Ltt dies it right and call sponsored stuff "showcase"
This video WAS sponsored by Samsung... I find this concerning to say the least.
@@ReelSpider It wasn't, it was sponsored by PIA and Origin PC.

I got myself the 27" G7, and I have to say I was initially scared to pre-order because it had no dedicated G-Sync module, but I trusted Samsung on this. I neither have dead pixels nor G-Sync flicker. However, I did have one instance when launching Razer Synapse Surface Calibration, the top of the pane started going haywire. Other than that, I haven't had a problem in a variety of games with Adaptive-sync on. Make sure you update your NVIDIA driver (mine never presented an update for the G7 G-Sync, and still doesn't) so I had to do it manually. Also, make sure to download the latest firmware for it. Oh, and really pray that you got a good unit that is largely flicker free. I cannot go back to any other monitor after using it, even with the curve. Samsung has smashed it, hats off

This monitor has everything a gamer can dream of. I have the CRG9 with the 1800R curve and I think I won't be happy with the 1000R curve. Thats the only thing that brings me back to the ground. You would need a really big desk to set this thing up and I actually like it that I need to move my head a little bit from time to time to see everything. :)
I thought i wouldnt like the 1000r curve either but i just went from a msi optix24c with an 1800R curve to the samsung oddyssey G7 with a 1000R curve and i love it, (i think) its absolutely amazing:)
i recommend wall mounting this monitor
I have a triple screen setup for racing, this looks like it has potential. The picture-by-picture might be a suitable substitute for multitasking - two 2560x1440 screens from different outputs could mean I plug both into my GPU for basically two monitors when I want to be multitasking. Otherwise, one big wide screen for racing. I looked it up and it as a 100x100 VESA mounting layout, so I could consider mounting this on my racing rig. I hope they fix that flicking during HDR. This might be something to save up for.
Man i REALLY loved my Samsung CHG70 27 monitor.. i were still gaming i would get the G 7 Odyssey QLED. The thing is, it’s not just a complete monitor and future proof etc. The QLED colors make the biggest difference with other monitors. Everything just comes to live, especially colorful games like Overwatch, but even less colorful games become alive. Highly recommend it
In this video, Linus mentioned that you'd need a GPU from 2019 or newer to get that DSC thingy for the full potential of this monitor. Does this apply to the G7 monitor when paired up with a GTX 1080Ti? Thanks in advance!
DSC is only available on 2000 series Nvidia cards or newer. It's available on some newer AMD cards as well.

Oh as a buyer I can say it does overcome! A year later it was down to 1300 yeah its way better now. Love this thing!
Just came from watching the Pre-Built comparison series from a while ago, where Origin PC got slated as the worst. Now they are a sponsor for the channel.
I think it was a way to say Samsung didn’t sponsor the video, origin pc sponsor but seemed like the focus was on the Samsung ssd. So it’s like Samsung did sponsor it in a way he could say they didn’t.
Well sure, it's an ad and it's not that they were terrible.
They've always been the worst. Suddenly refusing to sell AMD graphics cards in their systems for what they claimed was "too many support requests" when the whole crashing drivers issue (at launch of the 5700XT; has since ended) hadn't started yet was evidence enough for me. They didn't want to train their support reps for two different graphics card OEMs. The only good thing about Origin is their cases, and they don't sell those separately so... fuck 'em.

Kind of sucks that he can't be 100% objective or honest on the sponsored vid
@@alexhb12333 True but one of the things I've admired Linus for is his unwavering stance on giving the *real* opinion on the product at the end, sponsors' opinions be damned.
Apperently, the issue gets solved is you update the firmware to the latest version ;)
where can u buy this because i camt find it anywhere im literally pulling my hair looking for this monitor all i see is last year model !! im literally about to buy last year model as im desperate to buy a 32 inch or higher monitor with 1440p minimum
@@kyokushin1289 It will be back in stores soon, My pre-order ETA is September.
I think the only ultrawide i will get is the ones over 1600p. Anything under it is too short on height resolution, because if an application works better in 16:9 or less, and makes no sense to stretch on width, i ended up stuck with a an app displayed as it would in a fullHd screen (almost). Which is too narrow for me. So, amazing for comp work, and editing, games too. Not much for 3D work
Thanks for the Video. Good to know I won't be able to run it properly on a 1080
Linus looks like some 40 year old jogger in the parks 😂
Savitha Miranda can he shave lol
@@djagofficial no
Or a kickboxing tennis player
@@Emiichoco He should, he looks really old with the beard while he could go for much younger than he actually is without it. The headband doesn't help though.
White socks Jesus sandals and now sweat head / wrist bands.....😬
I've really been enjoying the G7 but I think the curve is an acquired taste, I love it but I can imagine many who would hate it. I prefer the G7 over G9 just because it carried the same features but in a format that felt a lot more organic to my preferred dimensions and at a much fairer price.
I have a 32 inch 1440p ViewSonic curved monitor and I won’t go back. It feels easier to look across the whole screen. Only thing I am planning on doing is upgrading to a curved 4K monitor.
for me the 32 G7 is horrendeous, the curvature starts too fast and i see everything for work AND games distorted ... G9 is a lot more natural in that aspect due to the more space, however the problems it has after so many iterations makes me think samsung is just making fun of us
I know this is old, but I have a G7 and have had issues with dead/stuck pixels. Have you had any issues like that?
I bought Samsung Odyssey C49G95 49". I noticed that running the monitor at a high refresh rate increases the GPU temperature by 10 degrees, good for warming your room in winter 😅. Beside that I have been having issues keeping my PC a sleep with this monitor.
love the new intro graphic
5:52 Intuitively the 'R' value of a display is surely optimal when it is equal to the viewing distance, where all points in the horizontal dimension are equally distant from the viewer, and nothing to do with eye curvature. This way the field of view is maximally filled without distortion. Given that 1000 mm (1 metre/~3.3 feet) is a more typical viewing distance for PCs than larger values, it is likely more optimal for most people. Of course, this all assumes that the software knows that it is displaying the image on a curved display and doesn't apply compensations used for flat screens when displaying 3D spaces.

kon3s both are correct
Question for you @Linus Tech Tips: What 50"+ 4k monitors would you consider for a daily driver for PC. Something decent for gaming I suppose, but mostly for putting 1-1.5m away and using as a giant desktop with 1080p font sizes.
Just get a TV, a 50 inch 4k monitor would be crazy expensive, I'll look for a TV that's 50in, 4k and at least 120hz
Just upgraded to G9 ( came from the older 49 samsung ) and just one word WOW
Me: *I know a video in which Linus didn't have a spo...* FBI: *I'm gonna stop you right there.*

There was a single one! One of the hirering-videos was sponsor-free
You guys gotta do the 48" LG CX OLED as a monitor. I'm using it and it's fantastic.
Same, 48CX is the GOAT. Granted, until HDMI 2.1 video cards are released... can't really fully review it.
OLED as a monitor... That's explains all. You must be using the pc only a few hours a day 😅
@@KazuyaYuza Use mine 8+ hours a day. I just bought an extended warranty that covers burn in. But even not hiding the task bar and having static elements all over the place I havent even experienced temporary image retention.
@@KazuyaYuza Fwiw modern OLED's are not as prone to burn-ins as they once used to be. Firstly, current gen panels are better at handling static elements, but the software is also improved. Screen contents are shifted by a few pixels periodically and the TV automatically reduces brightness for static pixels. Just two features that I know of -- I'm sure there are many more.
Guys, you can consider QD-OLED。
I got mine today. It is absolutely badass. I got it on sale for $1100 including taxes and a 4 year insurance plan on amazon. Mine is remanufactured but works and looks like new. Before, I had the samsung g9 120 htz 1800R curve but I exchanged it for this Samsung 49 240htz 1000R curve as soon as I saw the sale. I am so glad I went with this monitor.
I'm thinking about getting one I have until midnight to decide. i wish there was a similar monitor that could compete. But right now i game on a 120inch benq projector, so I don't know if this is worth going down in size. I just want an ultra wide screen.
Do you have any complaints? Have you noticed the light flicker?
@@caseg7761 i have not had any flickering problems on mine. Also, I use it for trading so i do run a 16gb of ram off my pc, and use it at 144hz. I have yet to explore if it flickers on 240hz since i have not run 240 yet
@@ivanov568 I pulled the trigger on it and should have it by tomorrow after I saw the huge price cut from black Friday. I'm thinking the newer ones won't have this issue but we'll see. I'll be using it for leisure and gaming so time will tell. Thanks for the reply and be safe, my friend.
@@caseg7761 also i highly recommend the 30x60 raising desks from office depot (anything smaller doesn’t feel right). I got my desk on facebook marketplace for only 250, my setup is 💯. Good luck
Awesome video. Do you think a laptop can have enough power to use this monitor as an external monitor with a laptop?
I felt like firmware update helped a bit with the flickering, you should try. I had 1 of this monitor replaced about a month ago due to excessive flickering on one zone. They’ve sent a new one, and this one have a small light coming out on top left edge of the bezel. Still it’s very good gaming and productivity monitor.
Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any worse, now your monitors get corona.
For those of you gaming on super ultrawide monitors (I'm using the odyssey g9): -How far are you sitting away from you monitor to prevent eye strain? -Are there any specific settings you're using to prevent eyestrain as well?
It would be nice that you do a review of ps5 on this monitor... How would console look on 49inch wide monitor, HDR and bla bla bla.. :) And because this is my first comment on this channel I want to say that I respect you and your team, you do a really good job... I am following this channel for a long time. I like when you give advice like ''save your money''. All best in New Year, and take care
Me: Wow... I should get 1. My wallet: Behave my child, behave...
I can finally display my whole spreadsheet!
From what information I have gathered the flickering with HDR is gone with a firmware update and also the picture by picture is now 120 hz for both sides :)
That headband looks really cool on you
