Samsung - Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC

G9 57

My only thing I don’t like about it is that it gets quite hot while in HDR mode

Finally saw a demo model of that irl and was blown away at everything. Main use would be coding and the text was just beautiful.

I have both, but made the switch to the 45" and haven't looked back. I just couldn't deal with the blooming.

I have 57 only for work. No issues. Just today was presenting during board meeting and had 5 windows side by side... What a pleasure to reference multiple sources...

Hi, Was wondering: does pbp work on 2 hdmi inputs? I own the 57" Samsung Neo G9 and it doesn't work there. Do you have picture settings on hdmi inputs? Cause they are also not available on the samsung

I really appreciate this approach to user/product review! The ultrawide sweet spot is gonna vary on aspect. 32:9 already has a sweet spot with the Samsung 57 7k2k. I wish it was OLED but that's it. I think LG is so close with the gx9 in that 45" 5k2k. Having seen the 1440p version at Best buy only months before. That size is fantastic. The PPI is amazing. I don't know enough about if dual mode requires a 2:1 pixel map but if I could get 240hz 1440 and greater than or equal to 144hz 5k2k on a single 45” 21:9 OLED I don't think I'd upgrade until 10k4k 45" became a thing. As it stands, more options around curvature, panel coating, dual mode or not (for cost reasons), and built in speakers would be really nice at the 45" 21:9. I really hope this panel size is here to stay.

+1 for the 57” G9. I also just replaced my non-Neo 49” g9. I also highly recommend a 5090. With everything maxed on most games and DLSS + frame gen on games like cyberpunk, you will get 120+ fps, which is amazing for dual 4k with RT and path tracing

Specific to the Samsung 57 Odyssey Neo G9 dual 4k UHD quantum mini led 240hz 1ms hdr 1000 curved gaming monitor HDMI 21 dp 21 USB 30 black first I love this monitor, setting it up to my needs was easy and on point. The only major issue for me as an owner is Samsung. Purchased monitor in late Jan 2025. The monitor stopped showing an image in early March 2025. So it worked for about 6 weeks. Not good for this price point but things happen. I contacted Samsung and the run around started. 10 days for a tech to come over take photos and say yup it needs a new panel and possibly some internal component. It can work with just panel replacement if not will order the additional parts. Well, that's more delays in getting it fixed. I asked Samsung if they'd just swap it out. Got more of the run around. Provided with phone numbers to other depts that don't answer or are closed. Anyway long story short. Monitor when working is great but if you have an issue it's gonna take a lot of patience and time to get it repaired. My thought at this price point you'd get quality and service to match but this is not the case. \- I owned an LG monitor that had issues and LG without second guessing simply did a home swap to quickly resolve the issue. Not sure about other manufacturers but Samsung is not proving to be a good purchase. Anyone got similar experience with Samsung and/or can provide other companies with good products and services?

My first G9 57 had dust under the display and I had to RMA. Tbf, it was a good RMA experience but it was still a pain. I consider it worth it as I only paid $800 for mine. I personally wouldn’t pay full price or anything over 1600. The U4025QW has an insanely awesome built in TB4 dock plus a pop out usb hub which is great for productivity.

I'm running the Samsung 57" with 7680 x 2160 resolution and 240hz with my 5090 card. Then again, I know the difference between HDMI 2.1 vs DP 2.1, and even amongst the DP 2.1 there are crucial differences. I even bought a VESA certified cable to ensure I would get the real deal.

As a motion graphics designer, I did a lot of research about the new LG 5k2k (OLED) and slightly older Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" (VA panel with mini LED). I was concerned with burn in, screen quality, brightness/contrast ratios, screen real estate, and size. Short and sweet and to the point, while I wish the Samsung was an OLED, I have complete confidence the VA Mini-LED panel is going to be great and I picked the Samsung G9 57" because it offered a bit better discount and better features for me as a designer. Besides my desktop, I have an ASUS ROG Strix G16 Laptop with a 240hz mini-LED screen, and it is pretty damn good. I prefer the matte finish because my computer is in a room with a lot of sunlight. The mini LED screens can get nice and bright, quite a bit more so than an OLED if I remember correctly. There is blooming in dark areas sometimes, but quite honestly, I find the people that complain about such things to just be picky. That's okay, but I am not that way. The screens are pretty incredible nowadays any direction you go. Coming from two 27" Dell U2715H 1440p monitors, I felt that the LG 5k2k would have been nice, but I had serious concerns with the tops and bottoms of the screen distorting. I need my straight lines to look straight - it's important as a designer lol. I checked out it's predecessor at Best Buy and I think I could use it for design, but it would be challenging at certain times. The Samsung G9 57" offers up 2 UHD screens next to each other with less curvature, which is a nice thought for productivity with tons of real estate and minimal distortion. I also noticed the Samsung could choke down to 21:9 aspect if I needed to on certain games, which is a nice feature that I will undoubtedly use since I do game, but I am probably 50/50 gaming/productivity. Because of my experience with my mini-LED laptop, I ended up choosing the Samsung. It certainly helped that through the Samsung educational store I was able to secure a G9 57" for $1500, which seems like a good deal for the times. I could have maybe got the LG for $1700-$1800 after the partner store discount. (My wife's .edu email address happened to work for both stores, which is nice!). I should get the monitor today. Really looking forward to having a giant screen and I'm sure my wife will roll her eyes at it sitting in our living room lol.

G9 Neo 57. You’re welcome.

not sure what you mean, i'm using it for excel right now and it's been great. just don't seat too close.

I have had the 57 g9 for 6 months and my task bar is burnt into my monitor. Be careful. There is also other reddit posts that it has happened on the 49 inch version as well with mini-led. I'll be trying to warranty it very soon. [https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1aywmdb/g9\_neo\_49\_miniled\_image\_retention/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1aywmdb/g9_neo_49_miniled_image_retention/)

No sir. I got the 57 inch g9, LS57CG952NNXZA. Perhaps you won the panel lottery and I didn't. Glad you have not experienced any retention/burn-in.

I watched and read many reviews of this monitor before I bought it, but after using it for a few weeks, I discovered some deal-breaking issues that were not mentioned in any of the reviews I saw. So I decided to share them here to hopefully help others make a more informed decision. 1. The screen is not circular. It has a very aggressive curve in the middle, but then the curve tapers off and the panel becomes completely flat on the sides. This makes it very difficult for my eyes and brain to get used to it, and can easily trigger dizziness and headaches. Other wide screen monitors have consistent curve throughout the whole screen width, which makes it much easier to get used to it over a few days. 2. It has a poor quality VA panel with a very pronounced color shift depending on the angle you look at it. The curve in the middle helps with this, but the flat parts of the panel on the sides will show different color saturation than the middle. Also, the top part of the panel has nice and rich colors, while the bottom part of the panel has washed out colors. This is because the screen height causes your eyes to look at the top and bottom of the screen at different angles. 3. It is NOT officially on Nvidia's G-Sync compatible list, and it shows. There is a lot of flickering/flashing with G-sync engaged in the native resolution of 7680x2180, making it unusable. Once you lower the resolution to the regular 4K, the flickering/flashing goes away. 4. Speaking of the regular 4K resolution of 3840x2180, it does a pretty poor job of scaling the screen automatically to 16:9. In many cases, it just stretches the screen to fill the whole width of the panel. It has an option to force aspect ratio and size of the screen, but it maxes out at 27-inch equivalent, which results in black bars on top and bottom of the screen. 5. Waking up from sleep is a big issue. I heard this mentioned in reviews, but I didn't really appreciate the magnitude of this problem. You have to either restart your computer (and risk losing data in your open applications) or disconnect and then re-connect the cable from your video card (and risk damaging your video card) multiple times a day every time your monitor goes to sleep. After 4 or 5 firmware upgrades this problem still persist, so it looks like it is some sort of hardware issue that cannot be fixed in firmware. This monitor has to be turned on all the time your computer is on, and you need to manually power it down and up when you stop and start your computer. If anybody has any questions, I'm happy to answer. EDIT: Picture of the curvature above the middle of the screen: [https://i.imgur.com/oiWHMwC.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/oiWHMwC.jpeg) Picture of the lack of curvature above the side of the screen: [https://i.imgur.com/gWvCunP.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/gWvCunP.jpeg) Solid orange color looks like this: [https://i.imgur.com/ypTOmmq.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/ypTOmmq.jpeg)

Take a ruler, or anything straight, and put it on top of your display. You will clearly see the curve in the middle, but on the sides the last 8 inches of the panel are completely flat.

No, but it makes an annoying ticking noise every few minutes. Similar to the noise that you hear when you turn it on or off, but maybe a bit quieter. I found it quite annoying when I was trying to focus on something in a quiet room.

Samsung is 240hz vs the Acers 120hz. Saying that will be a long time before GPU tech catchs up and can run things that fast at 7680x2160. I actually use a custom res on my Samsung to make it run at 120Hz to save electricity and try to make it run a little cooler. I'd say go with whatever you can get the best deal on. Quality issues can happen with any screen but with the size of these screens I'd avoid buying one used so you are covered by a warranty in case you do have any issues. I also got lucky with my Samsung and have not had any issues for about 6 months from new.

I'm coming up on a year with my 57" Odyssey Neo G9. I use it for both Windows office stuff and gaming. I love it. (I didn't want a OLED because I didn't even want to think about burn in--I'd already experienced it on an OLED iPhone and an OLED HP laptop.)

Currently using the 57” g9. It’s a blast to use but my setup isn’t set up how wide it is… thinking the 45” would be best solution for height and width.

Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 Series

same...I upgraded around Christmas time. I love it.

57 hands down. Been a programmer since 1993. Just buy it.

That pretty much gets you the 57" Samsung Odyssey. But a agree, this panel in a 57" 32:9. Oof.

The 57” Samsung G9 is incredible for productivity.

You want the 57" but know that MacOS can only scale down to 3840x1080 (dual 1080) which is ridiculous for productivity. You will need to get used to extremely small text. Windows on the other hand has no issues scaling apps correctly.

I just got used to small text

Please read better and stop making ignorant assumptions. I learned to live with small text. Your "simple" solution is far from simple and actively stupid The monitor is otherwise perfect for my needs

The g9 OLED was out for a couple of months before the 57". But regardless, if OP wants something better than the g9 OLED, then the 57" neo is the ultimate monitor. Especially if you have a card that will drive it at 7680x2160 at 240hz.

G9 57 would be the best for productivity. Also for the games you play the super ultra widescreen would be great for immersion. You could also use just 1/2 the screen if the widescreen support isn’t there. I did return this monitor, though, as I couldn’t stand the matte finish for gaming.

I’m looking forward to CES to see what the new releases look like. Heard great things about the Samsung Neo G9 but I think it’s QLED EDIT: there is a 57” and 49” VA panel variant

Ah sick. Still a great price. I am testing out the 57” Neo and the 34 dwf. Looking forward to seeing the difference in real estate vs better oled color

I got the dwf and it’s DisplayPort connects to usb C but it’s not PD USB C so need to use another port for charging. Honestly after trying the QDLED, other panels look bad. I thought upgrading to the G9 57”would have been better but no. For me 34” isn’t enough and 57” is excessive. I’m thinking of trying the G9 49” OLED.

I have been using my G9 daily since 2020, I’m upgrading to 57” whenever I can scrounge up the funds. However your with your current hardware you may have a hard time making a full use of all the pixels the 57” has to offer (in terms of gaming) as for your work, if your laptop have hdmi 2.1 then you should be fine but if not then you might not be able to drive it at full resolution.

57" All day don't ever look back. I have tried multiple 49" monitors and upon getting my 57" months ago I have never wanted to look back. Also Fancy Zones FTW.

This. I had the G9 Neo 47” from launch and it was great, but the 57” blows it out of the water. Quite a bit more resolution and the bigger size just makes it vastly more usable.

Same use case here, got the 57 and it's amazing for productivity, the 4k res I consider essential.  One thing I will warn is that using the very far edges can hurt the neck of you do it really prolonged times. I was getting some strange neck pains I've really never gotten before till I realized I was putting things on the very far edge that I was looking at for a majority of the day.  Once I realized that I just made sure to put things I'm looking at for prolonged periods more in the center and it's been great since. I doubt 49 vs 57 would make the difference in this particular issue, so more a general ergonomic warning.

I wouldn't call it craning your neck, but you absolutely do need to turn your head. That's not a problem most of the time, but if I put something on the far edge that I'm reading for hours on end it causes pain for me, and I have it at about 34 inches back on a desk. This isn't specific to curved monitors, a dual it triple monitor setup would be exactly the same if setup as wide as the 57" is. I still wouldn't trade it for any other monitor, just a warning to people to think about their ergonomics.

57" g9 The extra vertical space is great for productivity, and it still makes a good monitor for basically any aspect ratio 16:9, 21:9, 32:9 depending on what's best for the game and your hardware can support.  The HDR brightness is also incredible

Do you notice a grainy image from the matte coating, or any other issues? Best way to test that is looking at a bright sky in a game. I tried the 57" samsung G9 last year and the matte coating was my deal breaker. I went back to my glossy 49" oled g9 immediately.

I was looking at the 40" as a replacement for my 2 x U2515H Ultrasharps I bought in 2015. It was basically tied with the G9 57". I went with the G9 in the end only because of the horizontal space. The 40" was my perfect work monitor if only it was wider. My use case is work 80%, editing 20%. I would go for the Dell just based on my own experience. My monitors work as good as the day they were unboxed and I am only upgrading because I need as much horizontal space as I can.

This! Software engineer here, I spend 10+ hours a day in front of a monitor and G9 57 was the best purchase in last 10 years, easily! Btw, I tried and returned Dell 4025qw, HDR is really bad and slow response time kills any fast paced games

G9 Neo 57” is great for my productivity. Zero gaming.

Samsung QD-OLED G9 is quite stunning, since they're glossy like the Macbook's they pop really well in color. Otherwise you don't have many options except for MiniLED backlights in the Neo G9 49"and the G9 57", with the G9 57" being the main attraction due to its size and resolution (Dual UHD). Unfortunately those are VA panels, but they're still very good compared to a few years ago. There's no MiniLED IPS 32:9's unfortunately like on the Macbook. Only OLED, VA, VA + MiniLED, IPS, IPS Black.

The 4K label has nothing to do with how readable something is - pixel density and os scaling does. You will actually have an easier time reading text if you correctly set os scaling and choose a monitor with a high pixel density. The G9 57" has 140ppi, which is extremely crisp. It's basically two 32" 16:9 4k screens fused in one. Enough in width and height to do anything and not require a second/vertical screen. For reference the other 32:9 Ultrawides are mostly 5120x1440 at 49", which is around 108ppi. Windows recommends 96ppi at 100% scale as comfortable. With 140ppi you get an ultrawide and incredibly crisp image helping with your eyesight. Nothing else comes close to the G9 57" that isnt ultrawide.

It's large, very large. Can easily replace 3 screens and split it into 3 or even 4 windows. It's the monitor that best fits all your requirements if your budget allows it. Mini LED, big, tall, extremely crisp, high refresh rate. There's gonna be some form of compromise you'll have to do when opting for a 32:9 49", 44,5" screen instead - primary pixel density or panel. There are a few MiniLED's and Dell/LG have IPS ones as well. The OLED ones looks best but I would't get it if you only do productivity work - but all of them come with worse PPI. Or use a 21:9 together with a second 16:9 screen, that works too. But the G9 57" beats every combination. Without praising it too much I'd rather get a bigger desk then go back to two or three individual monitors.

I've tested gaming on it to compare with my G9 57", and the motion while gaming isn't really that bad. If gaming will only account for 5% of your use case, then you might want to consider it. I'm not sure when a comparable Mini-LED or IPS Black monitor will be released that possesses better motion.

The G9 57" doesn't have a bad color gamut, it just has bad viewing angles. So, if you're viewing off axis, then the screen will appear washed out.

I have a U4025QW stacked on top of a G9 57", and the differences are quite interesting. The U4025QW has a wider color gamut and better gray uniformity, but its reflection handling is TERRIBLE. The G9 is Mini-LED, so it will have better contrast and HDR, but it has really bad viewing angles, so if you're not looking at it straight on, the screen will look washed out. If I had to choose between the two, I'd opt for the G9 due to its wider native resolution alone. As long as you don't have an OLED monitor paired with it, you probably won't care about the blooming as you don't have a direct point of comparison. Even if you did, the blooming really isn't that bad.

I don't see any black smearing. The G9 has excellent pixel response times, although I've never tested at 60 Hz.

There's also the Cooler Master GP57ZS, although I have no idea how to buy one. The Acer Predator can only do 120hz, and it has fewer dimming zones than the G9 57". It does however have Type-C 90W PD, which is a nice feature. I've had to replace my G9 57" after 8 months, and the second one has much better build quality. I bought it at Best Buy with the warranty, so there were basically no problems getting it replaced. If your gaming, and have a graphics card with HDMI 2.1, I'd go with the G9 57" for the higher refresh rate. In terms of the stacked monitors, I have a U4025QW stacked on top of my G9 57" using one of these: [Atdec AWMS-2-BT75-H-B heavy duty dual mount with HD F-clamp](https://atdec.com/awms-2-bt75-h-b?searchid=36328&search_query=G95NC) (this is probably the 30th time of recommended this thing, lol)

Dimming zones represent the individual backlights of a Mini-LED panel. Standard LCD screens have one backlight encompassing the entirety of the screen, which is why black will always appear elevated as a grey if a single pixel is lit. Mini-LED segments this one backlight into a grid of several in order to have sections of the screen that aren't affected by individually lit pixels in other segments. OLED and Micro-LED take this a step further, with self-emissive pixels, where a pixel's individual emission has no effect on any adjacent or non-adjacent pixels. Essentially, the higher density of dimming zones equates to higher contrast, with the maximum amount being the full resolution of the screen. I pre-ordered my first G9 57" back in 2023, so it was one of the first units. But all the problems I had with the first one are nonexistent with my replacement.

Picked up a Samsung 57" recently... love it (my first ultrawide). A week later I picked up a second one! Highly recommend.

I have the 57” Neo G9, and I can’t go back to my 65 or 77 inch oled as the curve is nice. Track IR also adds a great element to it without going triple, or you can do what I did, and got a 32” G8 which has the exact same specs, and now I am running triples with the 57 and 32 with less bezels ;-)

Very personal opinion: 38” is the sweet spot for productivity and gaming. I had a giant mega 57 and it was way too big, I like having the entire monitor in my view at all times. Maybe it was my desk setup, but i sold it and replaced with an alienware 38” and fucking love it for coding and gaming a few hours at night. On a Mac I can have 3 good sized vertical windows with Amethyst window manager, or two full sized ones. One with code and one with the program open. Coming from 2560x1440 it’s the perfect size. For gaming it’s also better because yeah a mega giga 57 inch can be really immersive, but like I said it felt like a better experience being able to see the whole thing without having to move my head or neck. There’s definite value in the giant ones and you may love it, but consider getting a nice 38” or 40-something OLED top of the line one (144hz, GSYNC, etc). For reference i have an alienware A3821W. Had the samsung G9 for the giant one

I have the 57” g9 and it’s epic. I’m not running it at 8k yet but I will in a couple weeks once my new machine gets here.

Hey I wanted to get your insight in your point #2. I noticed this exact issue on my neo g9 57 which I got 2 weeks ago. Is this normal or is it that the panel I have is defective? The top half of the screen has colors that are more rich while the bottom half the colors look washed out . I can see this happening in real time as I move a window slowly from up to down to the bottom half of the monitor and then back up where the colors are more rich. It’s really not noticeable in gaming or just regular usage but it is super noticeable in grey color tones such as the background grey color of the discord app. I asked others in this sub and they said they don’t have any washed out colors in the bottom of the screen like I do . For more info I have a 36 inch by 80 inch desk so the monitor is a good set distance away from me so the viewing angle should not be bad but I still have this issue that you were mentioning of the colors being washed out in the bottom half of the screen compared to the top half.

I really hope this is normal for va panel and mine is just not defective because if it is defective going through the whole return process is going to be such a hassle.

I just ordered a Neo G9 57". I work from home (software). I'm trying to consolidate 3 screens (2x 24" and 1x 15" laptop) into the 57" using software - it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I also have my personal gaming PC 2ft from my laptop which is currently running on a 40" LED 4K Samsung TV from 2017 that I will be looking to get off my desk as well as a secondary input into the G9. We'll see how it goes starting tomorrow night.

I use Mouse Without Border to share a keyboard/mouse between my work monitors and my personal PC. That being said, I got the G9 today and will be returning it. It doesn't check all of my boxes in terms of managing my work space and my personal space.

As someone who works from home. Get the 57”

Only the 57" G9 supports dual 4k. Otherwise the 49" supports dual 1440p

People get the 57 and think they can set it up like a 32, it needs to be way further back than even a normal bigger monitor push your monitor back or pull the desk closer to you if the 57 is wall mounted... if those are impossible you need a deeper desk, shouldn't have to be craning your neck to any side with a monitor this big if its at the proper distance. recommend 30 inch minimum on desk depth using this thing

I recently bought the G9 57 and although there are some quirks to get it working in a resolution that is good for me I am happy with going from a 27" to a widescreen. On Mac Mini M4 I am getting 120hz running split screen setup. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work at default resolution of 7680x2160. Everything is extremely small but there is also an option of 3840x1080 which is super clean but too big. Unfortunately there is no ability to scale as with windows. I tried better display but it’s not the same and you cannot do HDR with it so the display images appears to be a bit degraded.

The G9 57 is awesome. Expensive, large, difficult to mount, but for coding and spreadsheet work, I love mine.

I have both the Samsung g9 49 inch OLED and the Samsung neo 57inch ultra wide with the more aggressive curve. I prefer the larger more aggressive curve of the neo for sure!!! The color is amazing on the Oled but I love the curve. I put my OLED at my gf's on a desk with a wheel stand for my sim set up there. It works really well for that set up because I'm able to sit further away from the monitor. So it helps with not having to turn the head as much. While the Samsung neo despite it being 57 inches can be set very very close to me because of that more aggressive curve . That card is going to power most games at 5k( a little less pixels than proper 4k) res at pretty high settings and frame rate. Now the neo i have running at 7k (two 4k screens) would need to be using heavy DLSS or FSR to hit that res at very high settings. Sometimes it's better to turn down my 4080 super and run at 5k and get super high frames instead.

I now have my own 57 Odyssey Neo for a month and I just simply love it! I wasn't even planning on buying one, given this review above, plus the high price tag. But then I watches several good honest (IMO) reviews on YouTube and, I stumbled on an opportunity to buy it with 40% discount on a grade A that was totally new, just had external package marks or something (turned out to be nothing. Was a bargain totally new inside). What can I say. I enjoy the best work experience I have ever had. Curve: I don't get dizzy or anything and I find the curve to be almost perfect. I agree that would be nice if the curve would've continued up to the side edges, but it's really not an issue or limitation in any way. Screen quality: Really the best I had so far and even better than my two "27 LG which are 4K IPS and presumably should've been better due to having 163 PPI (vs the 140 PPI of the 57 Odyssey). Somehow the Odyssey does an amazing job and the fond and lines come out better than those "27 PPI 163. Also, it has display modes that are really useful, changing it when the room gets daylight it to a dimmer mode when I'm working at night. There are also gaming and movie modes, which are nice. Cons: 1. I'd prefer a remote control rather than the 5-way button underneath the screen which you cannot see and need to feel your way. 2. Once a day after a few hours of use, the screens goes black for 2 seconds and comes back. I don't really know why. To summarise; it's simply the best experiences I ever had to see everything so well and comfortable to the eye, not comprising when playing with the angles of several flat screens. I will never go back to flats.

If you are not oversensitive about response time Dell U4025QW is great. Otherwise maybe Samsung G9 57. Specially if OLED is out of the picture.

Honestly I have the dell U4025QW and love it. The only issue I have is it is still not wide enough for me. I would swap it with a G9 57" if I could.

I may be a bit over the top, but I think either this 45 inch 21:9 5k2k or a 50 inch 21:9 5k2k would be perfect. Although the PPI may need to be increased the larger size. I just made a post about a custom resolution, 25:9 on the g9 57, that looks superb.

There's also the 57 inch G9! Personally I'd get that if I had to choose one single monitor for sim racing.

Samsung 57” all day

Yeah, I have the 57" Neo G9... It is massive, but I can never go back to anything else. Best monitor I've ever had.

I "recommend" the 57" Neo G9. Best monitor I've ever had. Before that, I had the 49" non-Neo G9. I loved that one, too.

I wouldn’t give mine up for the world. [https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/57-odyssey-neo-g9-dual-4k-uhd-quantum-mini-led-240hz-1ms-hdr-1000-curved-gaming-monitor-ls57cg952nnxza/](https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/57-odyssey-neo-g9-dual-4k-uhd-quantum-mini-led-240hz-1ms-hdr-1000-curved-gaming-monitor-ls57cg952nnxza/)

Not sure where you got the “plagued by QC issues” from. I get that these forums hate Samsung but every single monitor on the market has its issues, including everyone’s new favourite LG 45. I have had a 57 G9 since launch. Not a single issue.

> Have just fired our accounts guy That escalated quickly! > ...a DM asking if I can have a Max model Whew! > I wonder if the Samsung 57-incher is the only way to go I have one and run it with a M2 Max MBP 16". You can read all about the quirks and caveats of this display from my big ass thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1g6nasj/samsung_neo_g9_57_g95nc_everything_you_need_to/ You can run it as two 4K displays and get one step higher scaling, but you will also have the split right in front of you. IMO for this display size 3840x1620 scaling is fine and a comfortable UI/text size. I run mine with a 21:9 + 11:9 split. You cannot run this sensibly with a single input, MacOS scaling maxes out at a miserable 3840x1080 for all current Mac models.

The Samsung is the only one worth mentioning. The others have worse specs and no better firmware.

It's very easy to create a custom 5k2k resolution for the neo G9. It's not OLED, though. However, the G9 isn't miles worse than OLED, either. To me, the 57 gives the best of both worlds being able to use 32:9 or 21:9

I ordered both and returned the LG. TL;DR: The 57" G9 was better suited for my use case of primarily productivity. Because it's a MiniLED, I am never worried about burn-in and the massive width allows me to run 3 windows side-by-side with a ton of space. For gaming, however, the LG wins hands down. The form factor, OLEDness, and curve are incredibly immersive. So basically, if you do more productivity, go with 57" G9. If you do more gaming, go with LG. If you're exactly 50/50... roll the dice.

I did like the additional vertical space for SW dev, but I also love having my emulator, web browser, logcat, etc up for additional info while developing and the additional horizontal space is quite nice on the 57". Basically, both monitors are great. Buy both, try both, figure out which suits your needs better, return the loser.

I have the 57" Samsung super ultra-wide and I absolutely love it. I am fortunate enough to have it paired with a 4090 and running ACC or iRacing dual 4K @ 120Hz (prefer it over 2K @ 240Hz) is a fantastic experience. I also have a Quest 3 headset but hardly use it because the monitor is so immersive and has an aggressive R1000 curve so wraps around you. Triples I think overall are better but hassle & space are a factor with those. Also use it for general gaming occasionally and it's a joy for any game that supports the format.

I work more than I play on my 57" and while I seldom work on the far horizontal edges of my screen, I really appreciate the extra vertical real estate and the ability to stove away windows to the sides while I still have them in my peripheral vision.

A display port 1.4 cable will not do 7680x2160 @240hz… Source: I have this monitor. Also HDMI 2.1 does not do it either, source: I have this monitor. Please don’t spread misinformation and half truths. The Samsung 57 can only do 240hz native resolution using display port. And to do so at that resolution requires display port 2.1 There are no certified cables above 1.2m

You did not misunderstand at all the people in here are wrong. I have that 57 monitor. People need to read better and not just say what they think works.

Yeah the Ark is half the resolution of the 57 inch G9

Have the same monitor. I love it for iRacing. But tried a few regular games and didn’t really like it. Even games that seem to support it I instantly had the fish eye effect. I still prefer 16:9 for regular games tbh.

OLED is the def the wrong one to get if you want text sharpness. Get the 57” Odyssey Neo G9. It’s Mini LED. It’s pricey but it did drop a few hundred dollars recently. Not sure if it’ll also be on sale for Memorial Day. (Assuming your in the us). There’s tons of YouTube videos reviewing the monitor where it’s hooked up to Macs

I have that and can't get more than 30 fps in the cities with 5800x3D and 7900 XTX. It's immersive but still needs time.

Hmmm I have the 57in g9 I have zero issues with mine plus I have a neo qled qn90 I use as a monitor for my all amd rig with 7900xtx in it work the tv and picture quality is very oled like on the TV but much much brighter and this exact same tech is in the neo g9 57in only thing that's weird is most games don't directly support 7680 x 2160 so a small portion of screen real-estate stretches the image on the very outside edge on both sides if I'm close to it like I'm supposed to be its unnoticeable unless I look for it wichbim usually not its amazing for its intended purpose in my case sim racing this thing is absolutely insane and extremely  immersive like vr its got irs dirty comings sure but for simracing you can't best this monitor 240hz dual 4k ill take it about as gutter proof as a monitor can get

lol I bought mine for my pc I’m building next month but my ps5 alone wake up the monitor perfectly fine… I’m not sure my monitor has this issue I have the 57 inch g9 Qled

G9 57 inch or the dell 5k2k IPS black panel, or that new lg 45 inch 5k2k. All options around the 2k mark. Half the price, consider a $1k g9 49 inch but as others said, the va version. Or do as I did, g9 oled G93SC and a 4 year warranty that covers burn in (I got the Allstate plan sold by staples). That 240 Hz can do picture by picture at 120 Hz (without vrr or HDR while in pbp mode) that essentially gives you 2x 27 inch 1440p monitors without the bezel. 1.5 months in, doing 8 hours a day of excel and outlook and a web browser and I love it. I use power toys fancy zones to split my 2 monitors in 3 zones so I have the best of both worlds (I often have to share my screen for presentations and sharing the full 5120x1440 to other people (most of them on 1080p monitors) is too impractical but everyone can see a 1440p monitor just fine. Sharing just one app is also possible... Or a zone... But 2 cables from the laptop to the monitor solved this problem for my work usage, and I use only 1 cable for the gaming PC. I know you don't play, but trying Forza 5, GTA V, FS 2024 is a literal game changer! Even just google earth on that monitor is something else! Hope you find your monitor soon!

Go big or go home. G9 57”. Wfh with 3 large windows split across , once I’m done I usually game for a bit or if need be, split monitor 2/3 for gaming/ 1/3 for work chats. Geared more for productivity

i have both, the curvatures are the same, the 57 is 2 inches taller though and a bit wider

considering samsung are one of the pioneers of curved tvs, and even curved monitors and nearly every super ultra wide is a samsung screen, i dont know what you've been looking at. if i took like 6 neo g9's side to side id have a circle, a perfect circle. thats how this whole thing works, mine doesnt have flat sides, did youre little brother jump on it on the ground. the 57 is identical to every single 49 inch 1000r monitor out there, except 2 inches taller and 5 inches wider

I have the Neo G9 mini-led with 1000r. It cost around £1500. For what it's worth, my 48 inch LG TV at 4k has only a inch less of viewing space on the sides by driver mirror and A pillar. I bought the LG TV after to replace desktop monitor, if I had realised the viewing before, I would have just had the TV as its cheaper and prettier in 4k 120hz. Would have meant I could upgrade earlier aswell. I would much rather have the G9 57 inch with 4k UW, that is endgame right there.

Nice I’m getting a new slab for my desk before I get this screen (coming from a G9 57”). I bought a 180x91 CM and will cut it down it down to around 80

The 57” is just a bit too wide & doesn’t have enough vertical height. The other factor is how hot it gets. It’s like sitting in front of a space heater, especially if I use HDR. The 45” has usb c power & video delivery too, which will allow me to reduce the number of cables I have. And the smaller screen size means I can run better settings in games. I’m going to keep both monitors until the LG return window is over before deciding though.

I’ve not checked for the 57 but previously I’ve used fibre optic display port cables that have a much longer range (5 meters I think I used). That might be an option. Currently running the 57 with a 4090 (so I’m stuck at 120mhz) so the cable isn’t an issue until I get a 50 series card that is… Great monitor by the way for work and play as long as you aren’t looking for oled.

Yep I use the Samsung G9 57 and the 49 before that. Picture By Picture works brilliantly for work and then I change to a single display for gaming.

Currently on a 57inch g9 so really wanting to try a oled panel that’s ultra wide. I think the current sweet spot is 40-45 inches but with the curve I think it will make it more immersive.

I loved it as well.. ordered it.. and it went bad on me 3 weeks later.. I decided to return it.. just didnt feel right such a premium monitor quality was so bad. But all said.. for gaming and productivity.. that monitor is godsend.. Samsung just go to keep their QC in the game..

I recommend avoiding OLED if you’re doing a lot of text work, even with games on the side. You’d be much better off with a traditional panel with FALD. I use the 57 inch from Samsung and it’s an absolute beast for productivity. But you can’t be nose to nose with it.

99.5% game release in last 20 years will support every resolution you'll ask for. Those that don't usually get community created wide screen patches. Speaking from an experince, gaming on 6k Samsung G9 57" (7680x2160). Don't stress the resolution. Go with what you like and can afford. Up to standard 4k is safe for 9070 XT.

I recently made this exact jump for 57" G9 and wouldn't go back. Love 6k resolution and how I don't have to work with bezels anymore for certain apps. Managing apps into zones with various dimensions for quick distribution is super easy. Just drag an app on top and you'll get a quick options where Windows is gonna dock it for you. I don't miss 2 monitors at all.  OBS is great and offers many options, including recording only selected zones on your monitor.   Just a heads up, no nvidia currently can leverage 240Hz due to old DP 1.4 and gsync is causing flickers. Monitor works great with any 7000 series AMD card. I personally use 7900 xtx for occasional gaming, but I mainly use monitor for productivity. Like procedural 3D modelling, coding, occasional video editing. 

I'm not using any docking app and most of the apps open the way I closed them last time. Like Chrome, Task manager, Notepad++. Yes, G9 has PIP or what's it called, you can make it into 2 monitor screen. However, that comes with a lower refresh rate, at least when 2 different PCs or consoles are connected to the monitor. I have never heard about anyone trying to make it behave like 2 monitors on a single machine. That defeats the whole purpose of buying single large monitor...  4070 will do fine, just only 120Hz (use DisplayPort cable), gaming would need some compromising, like DLSS. 

Can confirm; very immersive. 57” g9 neo with a 4090 custom cooling loop, but I have to render at 1440p instead of 4k because of frame rate and stability issues. Whatever monitor you decide, you should make sure your gaming rig can actually handle that number of pixels 😅 OP needs to start with a budget too

My wife is an accountant with many, MANY windows open at once. The 57” Samsung has been incredible for her.

This. I ended up with the 57 and a good caldigit hub to have a single usbc cable for the MacBook Pro.

I'm very happy with my 57" Neo G9, even if I have to run it at dual QHD on some games. The local dimming and HDR are amazing

I think it's [139cm wide](https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/4a8d34fb). You definitely need some space for it. I have my case to the right of it on the desk and that plus the monitor takes up the whole width of the desk. I was ready for it to overhang the desk a little bit but thankfully it doesn't.

I own this screen, this guy is not worthy of it and so below I'll debunk every point, so people don't believe the dribble I read above. This is an outstanding gaming monitor. 1. Really einstein, it's a curved screen. That doesn't make it faulty, you have to use it the way it's designed. If you sit, (like I do head height mid screen, right in the centre, about 2ft from the screen I cannot notice the curve. At all. Which means neither will anyone else. Complaining about a curve on a curved screen... give me strength. 2. Poor quality panel? laughable. Guess you just turned it on and didn't adjust it. I calibrate mine every 2 weeks with an Eye1 colormunki, and it's delta correction is less than .002 from perfect colour. That's rated as one of the most colour accurate screens you can get. it's almost all of SRGB, and Adobe RGB, has mini led, has dynamic contrast, HDR 1000 HDR 10, it has over 10 picture modes, endlessly customisable. just because you don't know how to drive it doesn't make it a bad panel. It's also highly awarded and reviewed at high levels everywhere. Yeah it's not a bad panel, you have no idea what you're talking about... seriously what are you on about. 3. This is just flat wrong. It doesn't state G-sync compatible, but works with G-sync. I have it on every title, MW3, CS2, hawx, LFD2, Forza 5, everything is superb. Buy a decent video card, and get the correct drivers, and put the right settings, oh and buy a decent cable something worth $80 or so. You'll see. It's unuseable?? seriously you mustn't know how to use a computer, utter and complete nonsense. 4. Again completely untrue. Also, news flash GO INTO THE MENU. There are infinite scaling options in there, where sections of the screen can be allocated, made to fit width, can lock the aspect, can stretch it.... seriously did you even play with the screen...How can you badmouth this technical beast of a product I mean c'mon. you think the engineers of Samsung put that feature in and when it didn't work they said... nah don't worry noone will notice?? It works, it scales perfectly, again you cannot drive, therefore you are not worthy of the screen. 5. Only legitimate one you put..... before firmware 1005. You have to install the driver that's clearly in the release notes. Samsung addressed this. Go into power saving on the screen. Turn off the ECO stuff and it works. Every day for me, every sleep, every turn on. Waking from Auto sleep, waking from manual sleep. AFter a power outtage every time. This is fixed, you should read the Samsung release notes... but you didn't. sorry but if you come on the internet with unfactual information prepare for a takedown my man. Enjoy your HP 24 inch officeworks special or whatever you buy next. The 57 inch was clearly too much for you..

It's called perspective, that's how it's designed.... seriously dude... it's made that way to fit periphery at that size. Curving the edges more would distort a full screen image for your eyes.. This is all in the release notes and documentation, it's all clearly explained why the product is designed this way. your saying it like it's some sort of fault. It's not. Why are you questioning the highly skilled engineers who made the product... this is lunacy.

Not at all. Going on a year. Superb monitor, best I've ever used. Great real estate, infinitely adjustable, calibratable, good brightness, 240hz gaming. Unreal. Plus spreadsheets for my work, good lord.

correct, use the video scaling. at the end of the day it's infinitely adjustable, they can only put so many stretched display options in the menu... This guy just expects the monitor to do everything.

Hands down the G9 57

Have the G9 57” and use it for work and gaming. Love it.

The only one I’m aware of is the G9 57”. And it’s a beast. Samsung is announcing new monitors in 2 days, so they could release a new one. Possibly OLED. Maybe in the 49” size.

If you plan to use it at all for productivity I would not co sided #2. I had the G9 OLED and the text fringing sucked. I now have the 57” and it’s amazing. The curve is only noticeable if you look at it from the side, when you’re using it you don’t really notice. Text is very clear. Switching to dual mode is pretty easy. A couple clicks on the bottom switch.

I started on the Samsung 49” for editing and loved it. Same real estate as 2 27” monitors. The curve didn’t bother me at all. I decided to splurge and got the Samsung 57” ultra wide and I love it even more. It’s equivalent to 2 32” 4K monitors side by side. I also prefer it to the 49” because it’s noticeably taller than the 49”. The 49” sometimes felt a bit narrow.

I went from a 34 inch 21:9 monoprice to the 57 inch neo G9 and I'm never going back. 

I have a 49" and 57" G9 Samsungs so not on your list that you're looking at and plugged into several Macs. First the 1000R curve is almost a must for me because the curve matches the plane of my eyes when I turn head, the screen looks straight to me. Great for ergonomics. The scaling and text quality is fine to me but I know others find it blurry compared to retina resolutions because ultra wide is a not a retina sanctioned resolution. That said, it works fine for productivity and movie watching. Others can opine on if the apps make it better. To me, the extra screen real estate is the win that I was chasing. If you need text clarity, stick with a 5k monitor.

Nothing on the market can touch the 57 G9 - oled or not. Yes, a 57 oled G9 would be perfect but as someone who has tried them all, the 57 is king. I returned a 49 oled and kept this 57. I currently have a 55S90D in the same space. To my eye, the 57s picture quality isn’t that far off

Nope, also the colours aren't poor on the 57 G9. Thing has 2400 backlight zones, it's not a million miles away from OLED in terms of colour and black levels. But importantly for a monitor doesn't suffer from screen burn. Closest thing you can get to it in the OLED space is the LG 5k2k 21:9 45".

It's a lot but honestly it's completly worth it. The G9 57" I have one, work 8 hours on it daily, spreadsheets plus meetings etc etc connected to the laptop. The screen space you have is something you cant even describe until you experience it. Then in the evenings I game (3090) and it's never skipped a beat. I'll admit the button for changing screen modes could have been a bit nicer tho, that would be my only criticism. Plus the Picture by Picture mode which you can customise a bit is amazing! (I have 1/3 gaming 2/3 work sometimes) If it's a quiet day working, flick it over, can have Netflix going on my gaming/personal PC while getting the report done on time for work on the laptop side. (I ended up getting a wireless keyboard that you can switch between laptop and computer with the press of 2 buttons) It's a game changer

I've seen the Odyssey 57" going on sale for sub 1k at Best Buy every now and then, may want to keep your eyes out for that, as it really is the best option (it doesnt have USB-C PD, but you can easily buy a super cheap USBC dock to fix that. Its an amazing monitor that you can't go back from once you've used it. (I use it for 90% work, 10% play)

I have samsung 57" 32:9. Not OLED.

After using the G95NC(32:9) for one and half years. I can firmly say 21:9 is better. For everything…

Unpopular opinion warning! The 49 G95c and 57 inch VA superultrawide 240 hz monitors (I tried both) from Samsung don’t look that much better in terms of color and clarity from my 2K LG 45 “ Oled Ultrawide even in competitive games. I think it’s a mix between the VA panel brightness and the W-Oled not having as good of color as Qd-Oled. So I would recommend one of these 2 panels for both work and for gaming since the aggressive 1000r curve is really immersive. I heard coders like the 57 inches extra vertical space and 8K for work but I use a crappy 60 hz 1080p monitor at work so I don’t know if it’s worth like double the price on sale, haha.

I have the VA panel G9, it's amazing and is pretty cheap usually (800 is pretty regular) It's also reliable as hell. Though I do wish I got the Samsung Ark sometimes

57" Also, I have a Suprim Liquid X 4090, not the 5090. But max settings in Helldivers 2, it still delivers 130-150 fps with a 9800x3d backing it up for the CPU. It's nice in that it's "dumb" and doesn't have the issues the newer ones can. It's "lame" because it's VA and not really bright, it doesn't POP like an OLED or even a mini-LED would. I did just buy the Ark Gen 2 (on sale on Amazon for $1.5k at the moment). I just couldn't say no to that price (considering the thing was $3,500 when it came out and is usually $2k +/- $100). Also, side note: keep in mind that an ultrawide 32:9 monitor is ESSENTIALLY a 4k monitor at 1440. It costs the same performance as 4k does in gaming (maybe a 5-10% difference in FPS in its favor).

"HDR 2000" is just marketing. There is no HDR 2000 certification. Please have a look into real comparison: G9 Neo 49" https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g9-g95na-s49ag95 G9 Neo 57" https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g9-g95nc-s57cg95

My work laptop doesn't love running the 57 in full screen mode but in PBP, its perfect.

I have the 57 G9. It’s a little big to be honest and if I don’t have it in pbp mode, my laptop struggles to run it in full resolution. Works great in pbp though. It can get annoying have to turn my head all the way left or right.

57 inches is the best for work. I actually bought a second Samsung for the office when I noticed how productive it was in my home office.

What does a big screen mean to you? If you're looking for a truly immersive experience, I highly recommend the Samsung Odyssey 57. .

That's interesting! I've been using a 4K screen with my MacBook Pros since 2016 without any issues. Currently, I really love the Samsung Odyssey 57; it's an excellent productivity screen. I suppose it depends on what you do with your MacBook and how important those extra pixels per inch are for your work.

If you want a 32:9 get the 49" g9 neo or 57" g9 neo. Both are mini led 240hz. Great displays.

The monitor you described is called the Samsung Neo G9 57-inch Mini LED minus the kvm and usbc part. I would look at the lg 38wr85qc

It's a productivity monitor marketed as a gaming monitor but it can be used as a gaming monitor and a future proof best one at it lol. Only legends realize that the 57 is what it is

The sweet spot for an Ultrawide is the ability to move seemlessly between productivity and gaming with minimal need for multiple monitors. - A good refresh rate - Colour accuracy - Simplicity in set up and day to day usage - and much, much more. I currently use the Neo G9 57" so it would be quite insightful to see them side by side and how they compare in every aspect. I use my current set up for animation, Illustration, graphic design and gaming. As my work is based around seemlessly shifting between gaming and creative work, I'd definitely be able to put any gear through it's paces, I'd definitely look forward to hopefully pushing the LG GX9 to the limits.

I’m on the same monitor. My laptop drives it at 120 hz and that’s perfect for me. I came from 2x 32” monitors. The main upgrade is the curved display and the lack of the center dividing line. I can be on a conference call looking at the middle, not the side, of my monitors.

I bought the 57” about a month ago when it was on sale on Amazon. I don’t know if it’s a thing available to everyone or just certain accounts, but I was able to pay over time directly to Amazon (not affirm). So instead of paying $1700 up front, I’m paying $340/month for 5 months, interest free. It’s still available, at least for me. Beneath the price, it says “select from 2 plans”. Click that and then select the Amazon plan.

My personal favorites are the Dell 40" U4025QW (I've owned one since December) and the Samsung 57" Neo G9. Both are the same height and vertical resolution as a 4k 32" panel, so they're nice and sharp. I feel like the choice between them comes down to how much screen real estate you need.

For productivity alone? G9 57"

I have the Samsung 57" and it's awesome but so huge, but I bought that for simulation games so that's why, I think 40" is probably about right for the average desk in 21:9 but who doesn't like bigger monitors? Really depends on viewing distance though! Ultrawides are great

I recently bought the g9 57 inch miniled. Comming from w oled c2. I use it for work and gaming 12 to 16 hours a day. So text fringing and burn in are heavy issues for me. W oled has the superior rgb subpixel layout. Against qd oled. Ips va and tn have the best. Miniled g9 is va with miniled. Miniled does a worse job at what oled does, but does so without burn in issues. However you get blooming in extreme white on black cases, or dimming of white object to compensate. Where i feel like im a purist, im absolutely in love with the g9. Esp because the brightness is so much more then what my c2 oled could achieve. The algoritmes trying to reduce blooming and artifacts work great in games and movies. For work i would advice to disable hdr.  However, after using my c2 for 12k hours in 2.5 years time. I dont think w oled has much to worry in case of burn in issues. Mine has very little. Qd oled however seems to suffer more. Get burn in protection if you go that route. Oled seems cheaper against miniled

Comming from OLED (LG C2) i switched to G9 57". I think its an amazing screen, and am very happy i switched. With OLED i was always worrying about burn-in. especially because i was using it 8 hours for work and 4 hours orso for gaming. The text fringing on QD-OLED was a no go for me. So the new 45"W-oleds from LG are a good choice too. On the g9 57"i was wondering about the blooming, while working i dont use HDR, saves energy and why would i need to have my eyes burned out when looking at coding docs. and for entertainment is rarely notice it, and when i do, its because hud elements and stars in space games. but even then its so rarely. The contrast enhancer realy does it job well, and i dont notice it.

Glad i have gone with the g9 57 miniled.  No oled in way of color fullness and per pixel dimming.  But ooh man, i smile everytime the screen goes on and i have to squint my eyes.  Otherwise i would have bought the 5k2k

the g9 57 is the Right Height but it only comes in 4k natively and scaling 5120x1440 to whateverx2160 looks guck

this guy is whack. if you are doing any kind of productivity or like your taskbar showing, have a HUD or crosshair get the VA or NEO, the neo is awesome on par with the OLED but won't have its pixels melt like the OLED will

The 57 is great for that use case. The extra vertical resolution is great. However….it is also huge and I do find it overwhelmingly large fairly often. If they made a 49” with the 57’s resolution, and a less aggressive curve, I think I’d prefer that. The 40” 5k/2k also sounds great— it’s a smaller footprint so you could easily have a side portrait mode monitor too. TBH there are days I miss the 34” 1440p + portrait mode monitor. The 57 is great but it’s just…idk. I don’t love it. Far too easy to clutter the screen with windows and get overwhelmed imo. If I gamed much or cared about 240hz I’d probably have a different opinion, but for 99% coding/spreadsheets/document work, it’s great though not the perfect monitor I had hoped it would be. (Monitor itself is perfectly fine, no issues with its function or quality)

57" is god mode productivity. I also have a 32" 4k to the side but rarely use it. Regarding Samsung quality control... Mine has been fine, not one issue, 9 months in. When you buy something special at a higher cost, if it breaks you're more likely to complain. So I'm guessing the issues are likely overstated but present. The warranty reflects the manufacturers confidence in their product, and Samsung only offers a short 12 month warranty. So it's a definite risk, but not as big as made out.

I was going to buy a Samsung 57" G9 to compare to my LG 45GR95QE (21:9, 45", 1440p, 800R, 240 Hz, OLED). Unfortunately, I couldn't as I figured out a huge problem (for me and some others) with the Samsung 57" that Samsung are still stupidly employing with their curved monitors. Rewind to 1.5 years ago. About 1.5 years ago, I purchased a 32" Samsung G7 (16:9, 1440p, 1000R, 240 Hz, VA). The 32" Samsung was my first ever curved monitor. As soon as I used the monitor, it felt really weird. The middle of the monitor felt really deep & away from me compared to the outside. After 10 minutes or so, I got used to it but then when I would go use a flat monitor, the flat monitor would feel like the middle was bulging and protruding towards me. Then, after 10 mins, I'd get used to it but when I 'd go back to the curved Samsung, the Samsung would feel like the middle of the monitor was indented away from me. Also, something was really weird with the sides of the Samsung. Something just seemed very "off" and "wrong" in general while viewing the monitor regardless if in games, web-browsing, etc. I thought to myself "this is probably normal with all curved monitors, you have to just deal with it". I then did some research looking at the Samsung's curve and researching online. I also found quite a few people complaining online. I then think I may had figured it out. Samsung has this dumb design where the curve is not consistent. It's much more curved in the middle and then straightens out more and more. It straightens out so much that I think the last 1/3 or 1/4 of each side is actually completely flat. I then stopped using the Samsung for a bit and returned to my triple 27" flat-screen 3D setup. I then got the LG 45GR95QE. I thought to myself, "this has an even more aggressive curve than the Samsung (800R VS 1000R), those strange & irritating issues I had with the Samsung might be just as bad, if not worse... unless it really indeed has everything to do with Samsung's non-uniform, inconsistent curve - the LG's curve is completely uniform/consistent". Upon first using the LG, there were no strange issues, at all (unlike with the Samsung). I felt like I was using a flat-panel. Upon trying a flat-panel after the LG, the flat-panel immediately felt exactly the same. Upon going back to the curved LG, the LG felt the same as the flat panel. No sense of the centre being in-dented (Samsung curved) or protruding outwards towards me (flat-panel after using Samsung curve), no sense of weirdness on the sides or in general throughout the panel, no constant reminder that things seem "off", and absolutely no time - literally not 1 single second - to get accustomed to the screen...nothing, absolutely nothing. The only thing I can come up with as to why the 800R LG feels so good - or rather, so "normal" - to my brain/eyes/senses is because it's curve is a true & constant curve. The curved Samsung feeling so weird, so "off" + flat-panels then also feeling weird after using the Samsung, must be because of the inconsistent curve that Samsung applies to it's curved panels. Fast forward to recently. After discovering that even the 57" G9 uses that idiotic Samsung curve-design, I immediately decided not to purchase it anymore.

I just got the 57 and feel the “too many window clutter” - I’m on a Mac and kinda go overboard with expose and multiple desktops. Thinking I might give stage manager another go and reconsider the 40” 5k2k which might make it easier to just focus on whatever the current task is. Two more weeks left in the return window so we’ll see. One cool thing with the PbP mode is you can set 2/3 of the display up as a 5k2k to test out but sadly it’s not centered.

Im on a m2 Mac Studio with the 57 and while I admit windows has better scaling options all is not lost for the Mac. Option 1 - run full 8k and increase text size. Downside is controls are small. Option 2- better display and can run 6800 x 1800. Not bad but text rendering over single hdmi is not great. Option 3- plug in 2 usbc to hdmi and run pip. Can set each display to 3400 x 1800 and text quality looks way better but now menu bar and dock on only one screen. So far I’ve been running mostly option 3 and seems better than switching to a 40’ 5k2k. Giving it another two weeks before my return window is up.

Dual UHD we only have the Samsung 57" Which does NOT have TB https://www.samsung.com/za/monitors/gaming/odyssey-neo-g9-g95nc-57-inch-240hz-curved-dual-uhd-ls57cg952nuxen/

The Samsung 57 or that new LG for different reasons. I have a 49 as well and the vertical resolution just isn't enough.

I think Samsung probably has more issues than other brands, but it gets blown out of proportion. I've had a Samsung 49 since 2020 which my wife now uses and the Samsung 57 since it launched without any issues.

Had 49. Now I have 57. The best

I've owned several 49" monitors, countless 34" monitors, the 55" Ark, and now the Neo G9 57" is my daily driver. I have become most interested in this goldilocks 45" 5K2K beast of a monitor! That combined with the fact that it's OLED makes for a gaming/productivity user's dream!

I have the G9 57” and it’s incredible for productivity. I’m in software and I’m always bouncing back and forth between different bits of code or our communication program and I’d never be able to go back (I had the 49” 32:9 before this). I’ve heard about all the QA issues as well and, while I obviously can’t discount them as a single person, I can say that I haven’t experienced any issues whatsoever. Or at least, I haven’t experienced any issues that were related to the manufacturing of the monitor. I did get two completely busted monitors when I tried to buy one Amazon (they had very clearly been opened before they got to me, so it was an obvious scam). Anyway, based on that I would recommend trying to buy this locally to not have to deal with potential shipping issues, if you decided to purchase the G9 57. The other thing to consider is what kind of device you’re driving the display with. Macs are very difficult to configure with this display due to scaling issues. I speak from experience, as I have the new M4 Max Mac Studio that was released last week and finding the sweet spot of resolution and scale was a freaking nightmare. That said, now that I have it all set up properly it looks absolutely stunning. Err, one more thing to consider now that I re-read and saw you’ll do some “light gaming”… It’s worth considering the type of gamer you are. If you’re playing triple-A games and want to get 80+ FPS at the highest resolution you can, then this may not be the display for you depending on your PC hardware. I have a 5090 and I run a program to force the G9 57 into 21:9 (it doesn’t allow this natively, which is actually absurd) such that I can run games at the best graphical fidelity and acceptable frame rate. If you’re playing 32:9 4K, you’ll be sub-60 FPS almost certainly

It’s not a comparison. The LG 5K2K >>> G9 57 (for gaming) Don’t get me wrong, I love my G9 57 (it’s my primary work monitor) but it just doesn’t compare in any way to the LG 5K2K. The latter gives WAY better picture natively and can be run at higher graphics settings/frame rate, due to the 21:9 aspect ratio. In my opinion, the only way the G9 57 wins out for gaming is if you absolutely need the 32:9 aspect ratio and, even then, you have to accept that you’re either giving up frames or quality beyond what you’d get with the LG 5K2K

Neo G9 57 can do PBP and PBPBP with up to 3 inputs. For 2 inputs you can do 2 monitors of 3840 x 2160. There are 2 different modes (for 3 inputs) with different monitor size adjustment. First mode is 3 monitors of same size of 2560 x 2160. Second mode is 1 monitor of 3840 x 2160 and 2 monitors of 1920 x 2160, meaning you can have 1 large and 2 smaller monitors and you can adjust how they are positioned. [First set of modes for PBPBP](https://i.imgur.com/4JMN1mt.jpeg) [Second set of modes for PBPBP](https://i.imgur.com/JVn5fDE.jpeg) [3 monitors of 2560 x 2160](https://i.imgur.com/cUy2M88.jpeg) [1 monitor 3840 x 2160 and 2 monitors of 1920 x 2160](https://i.imgur.com/GHLIBpy.jpeg)

G9 57" is the way to go

Odyssey G9 49 is 5120x1440 res and has 10 local dimming zones. Odyssey Neo G9 57 is 7680x2160 and has 2,392 local dimming zones and obviously is wider and taller.

I ran a 7900XTX with 3m DP and HDMI cables to my 57" G9 and got full res@240hz no probs. Oldest son now runs the XTX. Longer cables are also working with my ARC GPUs with native res@120hz and also my RTX4090. I would go for the 5090 rather than the 5080, you will need all the horsepower you can get with this monitor.

16:9 works in Cyberpunk for me. Do you have another game that it doesn't work in? There is one thing for me that doesn't work, and that's 21:9 custom resolutions.

Gave it a shot, and anything with 2160 as the vertical doesn't show up. The 57" G9 has some real issues and needs a lot of work.

I think the 57 does have KVM its just not optioned out with easy to use features. It works great with a MB Pro. I love it. I also have LG oleds and the samsung G80SD. The 57 gets 90 percent of my gaming time, and pretty much all of my productivity time.

Agree agree agree. Have the dell and the g9 57” and the latter is definitely better.

I’ve run dual 27” for 10 years. I did a ton of research recently when deciding to go ultra wide. In the end I went with the Samsung 57” because it allows me to keep a standard view with a screen height that I’m already accustomed to while giving me enough screen real estate to accommodate at least 3 standard screens worth of productivity. It’s an upgrade in almost the same footprint that my previous 2 monitors took up. And the 57 has better resolution than other options from what I hear

I upgraded from the AG493UCX 49" to the Samsung Neo G9 57", and the G9 is better in every way. The added real estate is ideal for working with massive spreadsheets and working on various projects. The Neo G9 is end game for me. I'm using a 5700XT from a few years ago, and I'm able to run it at max resolution with 120Hz refresh rate. I don't know what specs your work laptop has, but I wanted to give you that perspective. Good luck on your search!

This is the one. I bought one recently and I absolutely love it. It's an end game monitor for me. I won't be upgrading from it for a long time.

It definitely does. I keep a fan at my desk for that sole reason.

In the US, most monitor warranties are valid for 1 year. There's a handful of monitors that offer multi-year warranties. You either have to buy an extended warranty or purchase the monitor with your credit card that doubles the MFG warranty. I bought the 5 year plan with my Samsung Neo G9 57" because its not cheap to replace.

I bought it from Amazon during the $799.99 pricing error. I believe the 5 year plan was $79-$89 through Asurion. I never used them before, but I'm glad I have some type of coverage. Additionally, I purchased it with my Capital One Credit Card that doubled the MFG warranty.

I’ve had my Samsung 57 since December; no issues.

\+1 for the 57" G9 Neo. Just replaced my 49" G9 Non-Neo with it and couldn't be happier. You'll need a beefy GPU to get the most out of it though (probably a 5090 if you want full res and 240hz).

I got it on sale for $1399 @ B&H. I probably looked at every other monitor above 34" out there. Test drove a 49 Samsung for a while, even tried the 57 but it was way too big for my desk.

Yeah, some a picture of the G9 57" and you could clearly see on the sides (up / down/ left right) that the colors were washed out, like a TN panel. Main reason why I don't want that monitor. From my understanding, there are no 4k OLED UW. Between: ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD and Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD) (1440p) monitors, which would be better?

I would avoid OLED for productivity, as working use cases tend to have many static elements that can risk burn-in, combined with text clarity issues Personally I'm on the G9 57", for a mix of mainly work with some gaming and it's an amazing panel if your budget allows it and you have the space for it. While this is also a 240hz display, no laptop will actually push it so you'll get 7680x2160@120 which is still nice for desktop use

There is also Neo G9 57, and it is 140 ppi, like dell u4025qw. But yeah, if I compare side by side my MacBook screen and LG 27’ 4K, then there is some noticeable difference in next clarity. Also I think glossy screen is better for text, saw some comparisons.

My G9 57” had an MSRP of $2500 when it was released and I got one new for closer to $1000 less than a year after launch

Had the 57” Samsung for over a year now and not a single issue. Recently upgraded to a 5080 and a quick firmware update was all it needed to go full resolution at 240Hz. But it from Samsung via Best Buy and it’s an easy return/exchange if you get a dud.

i just game in 21:9 on my G9 57". for productivity 32:9 is just unmatched though.

I'm now running the 57" Samsung since I got a good deal on one. It's a monster but I'll need to upgrade my GPU to really get the most out of it.

I have Samsung 57”and Dell U4025qw. Tbh, I kind of regret getting the Samsung 57. It is too huge and hard to move around. It weighs 34lb without stand. Best monitor for gaming: LG 45” 5k2k. Weight: 20.7lb without stand Best monitor for productivity: Dell U4025qw, weight 18.41 without stand. As you can see, Samsung 57 is almost as heavy as LG 45 5k2k and Dell 40 5k2k combined. If money is not an issue, get both the LG 45 and Dell 40.

My suggestion was for two monitors, LG45 + Dell 40. If you only plan to get one monitor, then Samsung 57 is a good choice. For putting 32” 4K on top of ultrawide, the adtec monitor stand can handle LG 45 plus Samsung 57”. This OP of the thread below posted a picture of Samsung 57 and LG 45 stacked recently. https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/s/1FIo50Sj5T

No major issues with a laptop and the 57” inch. You just turn on Picture by Picture mode and the laptop thinks it’s two separate 4K screens. Most laptops can handle that at 60hz. And there are enough inputs you can keep a desktop / other device connected at the same time if you want to do a single display at 120/240hz for gaming.

I have the current 57 and I will definitely buy an OLED version of it. But I don’t think they will make at this point

57 is great had it 14months not a single issue

Depends on what you mean by productivity. OLED are great for color accurate work, but the way most of them are made make text a bit harder to read for a keen eye. Personally, I had no issue with that, but your mileage may vary. If you do intensive text work, writing/reading documents and/or Excel, then I'd go with something like a Samsung G9 57". Otherwise, the 49" OLEDs from any manufacturer are great.

Odyssey g9 neo. It's a gamble tho, samsung qc is abyssmal.

Yeah Oled tech is much better now, but for me the risk wasnt worth it and i did go with a neo g9 49inch, am happy so far and was spared from samsungs abyssmal QC.

I have the Samsung Odyssey G9 (non-OLED version). I tried the OLED version and the t XT issue was too much for me as I do a lot with text in my job. LOVE the monitor. I did check out an OLED Ultra gear at the same time and it was fantastic, just too small for me, was 43" maybe. Text looked really good on it too. I would need two of them and the price was too high for that, otherwise I'd have two of them! :)

Mine is about 2yrs old (at least according to Reddit, I posted about a month after I bought it. I went and looked up when that was) I purchased the G9 Neo AND the OLED to compare them, and ended up keeping the Neo. It's had some quirks for sure, damn thing is so heavy that even a wall mount for a 60" TV (NOT an arm, but a full on mount) is too much, so I have blocks on the sides holding it where I like it. It's "gone black" on me about once every couple of months. I have to turn it off and leave it for about 10min before I can turn it back on. Thankfully it hasn't happened in the middle of a presentation or something. Prob the most annoying is when the button at the bottom stops working. I have two PCs connected, and I switch between them quite often, and you need the button to do that... And to turn it off. So when it stops working it makes it hard to do those things. I have to unplug it for about 10s and plug it back in and it's all good again. All things considered, these are minor issues, and I love the monitor otherwise.

As soon as you mention productivity the answer becomes the Odyssey Neo G9, VA with FALD for near-oled image quality (at the expense of not having 0.03ms pixel switching).

They're just about equal in price because the OLED G9 and the Neo G9 are both the top monitors, just for different use cases. OLED for pure gaming, Neo for gaming + text without risk of burn-in. Both monitors are the pinnacle of their use case.

Yeah, I actually prefer the 1000R curve on my G9 Neo vs the G9 OLED's 1800R. Productivity included.

\- LG Reliability > Samsung Reliability (my G9 Neo has flickering issues, My OLED version won't go above 120 hz anymore) \- Even more power required to drive games on the 57" vs LG. \- 21:9 > 32:9 IMO (and very subjective, but a reason nonetheless for many).

It took me a couple of weeks to get used to it. I love it now and got another one for the office. Make sure the latest firmware is installed and don't put brightness over 30-35 max. Yes it's not perfect, but try cyberpunk or something immersive. You don't need VR.

It sounds the same as all the Samsung g9's they all have flickering issues, not waking from sleep and other issues. Some issues get fixed with firmware but Samsung are rubbish and normally break something else with each firmware "fix". After getting the Neo I've decided to switch to another brand next time I'm sick of the flickering never getting fixed and the lack of support from Samsung.

The Neo G9 is I think my favourite monitor ever and I use it with two Mac's, a Mac Studio M2 Max (2023) and MacBook Pro M3 (~2024) supplied by my employer. I work every day on this monitor for over 10+ hours working. Both have HDMI 2.1 ports which support 7680x2160@120hz and that's the resolution I run. All the apps where I really need larger fonts allow me to configure larger fonts except a few and even those apps are fine as on this monitor I'm physically so close to it or rather I'm immersed in it. The MacOS menu bar can be a bit small even at the larger front setting but I survive. I also have an Elgato StreamDeck which I use to jump between HDMI 1->2 and control G9 brightness via DDC with BetterDisplay app. Some people try to use HiDPI and scaled fonts but I played with scaling in the beginning and ended up going full resolution and tweaking my main apps so I get access to all that 8k2k pixel real estate and can have more apps on screen at once (Teams, Outlook, iTerm, browsers, Xcode/IDEs, DBeaver, Resolve etc etc). I use it for work so the core apps I use each day don't tend to change much. I also run Parallels/Win11 and AWS Workspaces when I have to do something in Windows (uuurgh, plz shoot me) although keep them as approx quarter screen windows, never full screen. Finally I run KeyboardMaestro and Commandpost and Display Ninja and Moom. These allow me to have set layouts and hotkeys to position windows and the jump the mouse to specific locations quickly etc etc. For example I have a specific layout for Teams calls and another when working on docs in Word or another when working in iTerm on servers. etc etc. ... Oh and the G9 57 feels like it takes an eternity to turn on so I never turn it off, instead I have it connected to ZigBee motion sensor (Homeassistant) which changes the brightness from zero to desired brightness when I walk to my desk and it goes back to zero brightness when inactive after 5mins etc. Effectively turning the monitor off and on instantly. Embrace the pixels. Get a good soundbar/speakers and quality webcam. 😊

Just got mine; also returning it.

1. The dizziness is called motion sickness. This is because this monitor is immersive, and it can occur when viewing high-resolution, moving images (we're familiar with this from 3D glasses, also known as VR). I experienced it with this monitor when I was playing Fortnite at 8k and had to lower the resolution to HD, after which the dizziness disappeared. I'm currently practicing and have reached 5k. But I can confirm that the edges only begin to curve after approx. 20cm. *Edit:* I also have this problem, when I watch very high resolution drone flights in a 16:9 format. That means I am watching the video in the curved area with black areas to the left and right but there is still motion sickness - you need to learn handling it or lower the resolution. 5. I have no problems with wake up - apparently the firmware they deliver now has solved this problem. (Edit: I counted 5s till it´s back when I shake my mouse) *Edit:* **Regarding the 2nd point:** The viewing angle is really not that good (a color washout begins around +30° ) - it means that you should not use this monitor in a presentation room but on the other hand: who would use a curved monitor with such an aggressive curve for presentations? This is like downvoting the monitor because it has drawbacks when you share the monitor in a meeting because it´s 32:9 (naturally there is not a problem, when you use picture in picture which is great - the monitor then works like 2 32" 4k Displays). A little hint: placing the monitor 80-90cm away from your eyes is a nice distance to have a good view. A big wtf goes to the "color-moan". Maybe you want to check this review from [rtings.com](http://rtings.com) : [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g9-g95nc-s57cg95](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g9-g95nc-s57cg95) Especially the *color accuracy* and the *color gradient* are called "**remarkable**".

I have the Neo G9 52 and just run PBP so it’s “two monitors” then I can still share the screen properly in zoom/huddles.

OLED have slightly better visuals but don’t have much of a shelf life, so keep that in mind. I’ve had the Samsung Odyssey Neo g9 (5120x1440 - 49’’) since 2022 (heavy use - I’m a lawyer, so reading, drafting lawsuits etc… on top of gaming) and have had no issues. If i went OLED i would’ve probably encountered some issues by now. For gaming, expect some games to lack ultrawide support without mods unfortunately. For productivity it’s a god send, you can multi task super efficiently as you can basically have 4 windows open with full view of controls, taskbars etc… Pairs really nicely with a smaller monitor on top too

I had a Neo g9 before and currently use G8 oled 21:9. Ultrawide is good fun for a while but I always ended up playing with the standard 16:9 ratio in the end. The image is stretched on UW, which makes it difficult to read the player's movement sideways. If that makes any sense. Good usage of the right stick beats ultrawide any day

I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo (5160x1440) running at 240hz on my Studio 2 Ultra and it looks great. Any higher res and the text is too small. It can go higher res, but I keep it at default.

I currently have the 49 inch Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 and while it is gorgeous, it's size is a bit too wide for competitive FPS gaming. I play CoD daily and often finds myself having to move my head a little to catch movement at the periphery of vision. The smaller size of the LG GX9 should better fit the whole of the action within my PoV without my having to adjust my seating position. So I would say that 45" would be a fantastic sweet spot for a sub 32:9 aspect ratio wide screen monitor.

I just bought it a couple days ago Arrived today and set it up. Already have so many complaints. 1) the blooming is very bad. The local dimming zone on high makes it terrible so I have to turn it off to have uniform lighting. White on black text is bad. 2)it’s so hot. I literally feel the heat emanating off it at arms length. 3)the games I tried to play do not support this and are all distorted, rivals and poe2. Cyberpunk worked really good tho. 4)I feel really sick using it. It’s been on for only a couple of hours and I’m feeling really sick already. I don’t know what it is. 5) random screen flickering. In games the brightness kinda flickers. It’s very very noticeable in game menus like cyberpunk. Not as big of a problem in games. Still a problem Probably gonna return it and go back to my multi monitor set up. This was a total bust.

Honestly it’s really good for productivity. It’s not a gaming monitor. It’s ass for gaming it’s so y optimized. But I used it for work and it was very very good. I love it for that 10/10 the text clarity and such is great. I’m a software developer and the goods from productivity outweigh the horrific bads from gaming. I wanted it to work out the box but it didn’t and I’m gonna have to get used to it. There are workarounds

Id vote samsung, 1000r is awesome and I trust them more then asus.

I recently went through this when upgrading my screen about 6 months ago. Do I want an ultrawide? Absolutely. Would I design on an ultrawide? No I would not. Most ultrawides have too aggressive of a curve to be suitable for design work in my opinion. If it's a mild curve >1500R it might be okay. I tried experimenting with a 1000R Samsung and just couldn't hang with the amount of distortion. I ended up getting a non curved 32" 16:9 4K instead. It's right at the edge of what I consider comfortable as far as seeing the far edges of the display. I do absolutely love the increased real estate of using a smaller GUI scaling.

The Alienware for sure.... was in between that one, LG 45' and the G9. No regrets.

You could even go for the G9. But only AW has burn in warranty. And that's a real game changer.

G9 is still the most sold 32:9 monitor, but i wouldnt call it the king. there is too much personal preference when it comes to monitors to even crown any monitor the best. there are a lot of people who really dislike 32:9 and also many, like myself, that really dislike 800r curve. than there is WOLED vs QD-OLED and Matt vs glossy. its a whole religion already and guys will debate for hours and hours only to agree to disagreeing. for me, i tried matt WOLED for a few months, switched to glossy QD-OLED and couldnt be happier. every single little thing that bothered me just disappeared. but that doesnt mean its the same for everyone else.

I use the odyssey G9 32:9 1440 , First part is somewhat right, my postman thought its a mini fridge. it absolutely is bigger than a coffee table, one of the biggest reasons why I can't bring it to my girlfriends house, as there is no table there strong enough to hold it. it is very immersive, it's not a flat screen so when you're looking at say destiny 2, you would have your normal screen at 16:9 , but in the corner of your eyes the border wouldn't exist, it would be more screen, 50% more to the left and to the right.(32:9)  If you're playing CSGO, you have a lot more advantage, in some cases when you see 1 door, I'll see 3 doors and the entire room. Racing games also super immersive. Added picture as example. https://preview.redd.it/5loc9833ylid1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c12eaf38f932263bf66fe2b48d14356ede42b5b6

G9 has no more negatives than any other monitor has. If it was trash no one would own them

21:9 I got a 32:9 and I’m regretting it 😭. Going to return it anyway back to Samsung

I'm running a Samsung Odyssey 32:9 at 3840x1080, graphics set to ultra. I have a Ryzen 7 3800X cpu with an RX 6750X, and 32 gb of ram. So essentially a 6 year old processor with a 3 year old gpu. I get right at 144 fps consistently in space and about 100-135-ish on foot.
