SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey G9 (G95C) Series DQHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, 240Hz, 1ms(GtG), DisplayHDR 1000, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Eye Saver Mode, Auto Source Switch+, LS49CG950ENXZA, 2024

This monitor is awesome! The size and curve create an immersive experience like nothing else. Setup was easy and I’m extremely happy that I didn’t need any tools or Allen wrenches. The image quality is amazing in games and the over performance of the screen exceeded my expectations. It’s a lot to look at and can strain your eyes at first, but after adjusting to it I can’t imagine using anything else. Definitely worth the price if you have the hardware to run it at it’s full potential.

Amazingly responsive, amazingly large, amazing. I upgraded from a 32” curved monitor and a 27” regular monitor to this beast as my solo monitor. Much better on my eyes and neck to have one big screen vs two screen looking back and forth. Great for work! For gaming, it’s very immersive but due to the large size it makes games that have huds or minimaps on the edges scale weird. Depends on the game to ensure wide screen compatibility. Highly recommend though do be warned, it’s very large and heavy. Honestly I’m thinking 38-42” is probably plenty. Also, for gaming, a second monitor is nice for discord/youtube, but split screening on one screen even though it has enough real estate just killed immersion or was too distancing. Be aware due to the size and curve you likely won’t be able to have a second monitor on your desk or in an ergonomic position.

When these went on sale it was like someone was listening. I had been using a 4K TV for the last year as an "Experiment" for my monitor. The problem with TVs are the font, it was very hard for me to see it. I ordered two since like 2 monitors for productivity. I received them yesterday and set one up. Great monitor. The resolution (font), quality and screen size are great. I woke up early to get the other one up and running and off to my office I went. Here is the reason for the one star. The second box was beat up, holes and LOTS of tape. I opened it and couldn't believe my eyes. The contents, stand etc. was on top of the monitor screen. Packing material was missing, booklets etc. It was obvious to me that this was a return, basically everything had been thrown into the box and taped up. Finally got through to someone at Amazon Support, Sorry to digress, but it sure seems that Amazon is trying as hard as possible to hide the ability to get support from a real person. Anyway I finally got a hold of someone, they issued a refund and sent a letter to the company that supplies the hardware. My question; you can obviously see the distressed box and with holes and things rattling inside. Nothing should be rattling in a monitor box. This SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SHIPPED TO ME full stop! Very disappointed with Amazon!

This behemoth is an absolute beauty. It looks stunning, is perfectly sized, and mounted easily and securely to the heavy duty monitor arm I purchased alongside it. The 1000R curve is perfection. I tried one with an 1800R and did not like the angle at all. I couldn’t find a comfortable distance to view the screen from. This feels perfect from any distance. I wired it up to both HDMI and DP on my one PC to simulate a dual monitor setup. Coming from a dual monitor setup, it just feels better than using the whole screen during my work day. But then I can turn off PBP for gaming and turn off one of the display panels in Windows. And Windows is smart enough to remember my monitor config when I swap between the two. As for gaming, it’s incredible to see one running across this whole thing. Some games aren’t exactly widescreen compatible, but most I’ve tried at least have a 32:9 resolution available. And I can certainly see the difference of the 240hz. Everything is so smooth, even just scrolling a webpage. Games do take a little more power than before, but I’m on a 3080 and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it like a champ. I am very happy with this purchase especially since I caught it at $799.

Absolutely awesome, it came perfect, no damage all items were perfectly packaged. It is a LARGE box so be prepared. This is great for all the things I do, gaming work, casual, editing, and video. Display is stunning and very responsive, I do not use the RGB on the back of the monitor. The stand is sturdy and very large so be sure you have the desk space if you are not mounting on an ARM. This replaced a 3 monitor setup with an arm, so to have one large screen is great. No complaints and I opted for the extended warranty as well. Adjust your settings so that the monitor turns off with inactivity to prevent risk of any possible burn in. There are so many options, you can adjust to fit your needs.

I've had decent gaming PC's before, always used a 1080p, 60hz monitor. Finally, in anticipation of Battlefield 6, I pulled the trigger on this product. I was debating on whether to go ultrawide, or get a 4k display, but ultimately decided to go with the G9. First and foremost, being able to see the extra FPS in my games is very satisfying. I'm running a relatively powerful rig, with a 4070ti, and I can finally appreciate the extra frames my rig is capable of. I'd say that the difference between 30fps and 60fps is obviously massive, but the difference between 60fps and 120fps is also pretty stark. Getting the full 240fps is harder in more demanding games, but in the games where I can see those frames, there is an smoothness that I can notice and I do appreciate. My panel does have some light leak spots on the edges, but it's something I rarely notice, unless the screen goes completely black, if you're sensitive to that kind of thing you might want try exchanging your product, but for me, its rarely noticeable and I think that the monitor looks great. I think that this product is worth a look, when on sale. Its a steeper price at MSRP, but I think a good value when marked down, which appears to happen relatively frequently. I also appreciate the ability to run multiple devices. I use my PC in the DisplayPort, and my M2 Mac Mini in the HDMI. Switching inputs is pretty easy, but a remote would've been a great addition, to more easily navigate the menu system. I'm giving it 4 stars, as I think that the light leak issue would annoy others perhaps more than myself, for such a premium-priced product. That being said, I rarely notice it and have been otherwise extremely impressed with the experience of using this monitor so far. You can also use both HDMI, and DisplayPort, into the same PC to simulate a dual monitor setup, which could be useful to some. I've yet to experiment with using this monitor in that way, but its a nice option. Most of the drawbacks you may experience are up to personal preference. This is a large monitor, and your desk setup will most likely need to accommodate that. For example, I no longer use multiple displays as there is just not enough room on my desk to fit them, without blocking my speakers. In the future, I may mount them above this monitor, to use for productivity, etc. I also wasn't convinced about curved monitors, until this product. It's a natural way to game and provides a slight enhancement to immersion, but isn't distracting, like I thought it might be. Ultimately, this monitor sold me on the value of curved ultrawides, and I don't see myself going back. If this product looks a little to big for your desk setup, or just too much for you, consider a 21:9 ultrawide, it may be the best of both worlds for you. I like the 31:9 because it feels like having two monitors during browsing, editing, etc, but when I game, I get the benefit of the whole screen, and no bezels. I also think that its easier to drive than a full 4k display, which is a benefit to FPS in games. When gaming it's almost like having a triple monitor setup, with a wide FOV. I'm excited to mount a TV above it on my wall, and use that for a second monitor/console gaming setup, and I think that is probably the best way to use multiple monitors in a setup like this. I think its a good product, you most likely won't regret it, just be extra vigilant in setup as it is a heavy product and breaking the panel would be extremely disappointing. I'd recommend designing your space with this product as the centerpiece, and going from there. It's even larger than I thought it would be, and i have plenty of desk space, but conversely, I now have much more screen space which is something I value a lot. I'd always have at least two, but preferably three monitors, and this one negates the need for that, in my opinion. Using my laptop for youtube/media is just as good and better in some ways because I'm not constantly Alt-Tab'ing out of games or using borderless windowed mode. It would still be nice to have a second monitor for OBS or discord, but like I said earlier, this monitor can act as two separate monitors with the addition of that extra HDMI. For me, I want a large TV overhead, and I would be satisfied with using that for those other programs I may want open during game sessions.

It works good. At first I thought the screen was messed up. I calibrated it and it fixed the issue its been fine since.

Incredible nice monitor with good resolution. It is very big and with that it weighs a lot too. However, once you get it setup you shouldn’t have to worry about moving it. The picture quality is very good, not only because it has good resolution but the color accuracy and range is nice.
