Samsung - 49" Odyssey CRG9 DQHD 120Hz HDR1000 QLED Curved Gaming Monitor

Get it, give it a week to get used to it and you will never go back.

I got the 57" G9 yesterday, upgraded from a 49" CRG9. It's funny because once it got set up it really didn't feel that much bigger in terms of physical size - but the increased vertical and horizontal resolution are AMAZING for productivity. Before - I would only be able to have two spreadsheets side by side that were actually usable for my purpose. They would have to be side by side, Now I can have 3 - which doesn't sound that impressive but makes a massive difference because now I can have one centered and two on the sides. The curve on the 57 inch is just right IMO, it's not too curved but when you're sitting in front of it - it puts the entire screen in your periphery. I have a secondary 32" 4K QD-OLED monitor that's mostly for gaming. The colors on an OLED are so much better, that this monitor looks pretty bad to me from a gaming perspective (57 inch). If you really care about the gaming experience, you could look at the LG 5K2K as it's much better tuned for that than the 57 inch, which to me is primarily a productivity monitor.

I went from 2 22" displays to 1 49" Samsung CRG9. The 49" was great for work productivity but for gaming I found it to be too short (not tall enough). I sold the 49" and now have a centered 38" (3840x1600) "main" display and an off center 27" (2560x1440). For my uses, the 38" is excellent for both work productivity and gaming and I use the 27" on the side for comms (Email, Teams, Discord, etc.)

Somewhere in between my 49" Samsung CRG9 and this LG 5k2k 45". I think the extra vertical real estate would be awesome for productivity. I don't typically use my full widescreen width on my current CRG9.

A steal. I have one and it’s fantastic (and was more expensive by a long shot, lol). You’ll never look back.

I paid 650$ for a used one a few years ago (same model) $350 is a good deal

Im having the 5120x1440 32:9 C49RG94SSU since about 4 Years now and there is basically only one (tjree) reason, i would go back: im using this one for gaming as well as 10+/vours a day for work. On my side this is great as i can have open multiple windows including the development environment as well as instuctuons, notes and so on. The part that concerns me is when I need to share my screen and the colleagzes are unable to see something on their end with their small monitors. MS teams is sadly not able to share only a part of the screen. Either an app or full screen which both us stupid. Screen = too small on the receivers side, only one app = always need to stop and share again whenever i switch the window. The 2 (other) issues which i do not consider as real issues: movies in netflix/peime video and old games do not support 32:9 and render black big bars on the sides. Some modern games do support 32:9 but also not all of them.. If your GPU does not have enough power, you most probably cant make use of full 5k resolution with 120/240 fps. For the 49" 5120x1440 you should have an 4080S or 5080 or better. For the 57" 7680x2160 running with 240fps even the 5090 might be too slow, so an rtx 6000 pro is your goal.

I’m looking to ditch my old CRG49 for a 5k2k. The head turning is real and it only really excels in MSFS and even then it’s mega stretched visuals at the sides. 21:9 OLED feels a nice compromise and place to be at the current moment in time. I would return in a heartbeat and consider 21:9 for more versatility (and better vertical height)

Fucking still? My old CRG 49” samsung ultrawide has that problem too. Fucking hate that piece of garbage. Zero respect for samsung product teams.  

I think the GX9 will fit my sweet spot needs perfectly. Currently rocking the CRG9 and my only complaint since I got it was I wish I would have gotten 40-45in instead. Plus the dual mode for me is a big selling point as I do PBP quite often for work.
