Got mine for work. Just went black screen and unresponsive yesterday. Samsung customer support sucks.
It was great! I often have 3 windows open at once and the curved 49” is perfect for that
I used it during law school (so almost exclusively text) and it was fine. The text looked fine to me. Not super sharp and the Dell ultrawides are definitely crisper for text, but for being half the price of a comparable Dell I was happy with the odyssey
This will handle anything reasonable. I’ve got a very similar setup with a Samsung odyssey 49 and have great performance. Getting 144hz at 1440p. https://www.samsung.com/us/monitors/gaming/49-inch-odyssey-g9-g91f-dqhd-144hz-gaming-monitor-sku-ls49fg910enxza/?cid=eml-ecm-trnx-OrderReceipt
G91F and love it, couldn’t care less about OLED.
I am a PM as well. I recommend the LS49FG910ENXZA from Samsung, has a VA panel so burnout is out the question. It is affordable and on sale right now. Also, with a 240hz panel if you ever game or watch content it is silky smooth. All that said, it is very budget dependant and you could get a nicer monitor with a whole lot more like the ROG swift 49.
[https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16824027362](https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16824027362) is this a good deal or is there another 49" someone would recommend price point is perfect, but there is like 10 versions of these samsung monitors, and then also different manuf. of 49" for comparison currently i have a LS49FG910ENXZA that i bought years ago has been great for me used mostly for multi tasking but would be nice if it was good for gaming to give to kids later
I bought a brand new G9 1000R 144hz one month ago for 709€ . It s perfect . I was coming from VR
The Samsung g91f can be had for under 600. It doesn't have the local dimming or 240hz refresh rate, but it does have the same ppi and curve as the more expensive G9s.
I went from 3 monitors to one g9 49". Totally worth it. My only regret is not getting the 57".
This is exactly what I wanted! I wanted to add height but not give up the width and curve of my g9. Dimensions wise. Hdr600? Is this a joke? I am willing to forego oled because I wfh 4 days a week, but not even local dimming? If it were at least glossy the colors would be better. Who is going to spend the insane amount this monitor is going to cost for what sounds like a large but lackluster display? Maybe it'll at least be more affordable?
That's too big to fit in my office. I currently run one of their 49" ones and it's wide enough, I just want some height. I just wish this new monitor had better specs. They really said "big screen first" and phoned in the rest.
Hard disagree. I’ve been working on a first gen odyssey G9 for a good 5 years and recently updated to the 57inch g9. It’s fantastic for work. VSCode in the center, the rest on the left or right. I wish I had upgraded sooner. I spend a good 40+ hours per week working, and then 5-10 hours gaming. Absolutely love it. OP if you’re going to use your monitor for work I would advise against OLED.
