Samsung - Odyssey OLED G9 G93SD (LS49DG936SNXGO, LS49DG934SUXEN, etc.)

I had both the Alienware and G9 OLED. I ended up keeping the G9. The Alienware felt too small for me on my desk as it replaced a triple 27inch setup. The G9 hits the right spots and even if the game doesn't support 32:9 just enable scaling in your driver and it'll put black bars and still look just fine. It's OLED so it's not distracting. The Alienware did look pretty and hit all the sweet spots though. Just wasn't for my setup. I'd go Alienware if you're GPU is on the mid-lower end side though. I have a 7900XTX which I know isn't the hoss it used to be but it struggles at times. If you do go G9 get a non-smart version. There's like 5-6 different versions of the G9. The one I have is G93SD, it has a matte screen for glare reduction (personally don't really like that) and no smart features it's just a monitor. If you get the G95SC it will run and work like a smart TV and I cannot tell you how much that took away from the experience it needed like 6 updates before I could even use it. Then it just wouldn't scale without manually toggling the monitor on the OSD. I had NONE of these issues with the G93SD. I ended up returning that one for the non-smart version.

I got the g93SD in April, and I love every single moment with it. If you have anything on par or superior to 4080, you're good to go! (5800x3d and 4080 here).

(Owned alot of monitors) I owned a 21:9 AW3423DW for 2 years and loved every second of it but always felt like I needed a little bit more My friend had the 32:9 57” G9 and that was not the greatest experience for games due to fisheye effect in some games (which is caused by games only having one focal camera and not two) also the crazy curvature, just was too big. But I still wanted more so I bit the bullet and got the smaller 32:9 49” OLED G93SD which I have absolutely loved for all types of gaming even competitive & perfect curvature, barely notice the fisheye effect and rarely need to turn your head, went back to a 16:9 OLED 480hz for a bit, also tested the 21:9 some more but ended up going back to the 32:9 G9 in the end - only thing that would make it better is a 4K upgrade. That 5K2K LG looks interesting but the curvature is too much for me.

1st link is the G95SC (95 is the smart UI, like a tv, said to be slow). SC is the older glossy Panel. The 2nd link is the g93sd (93 is the dumb (monitor)version) as is the newer matte antiglare finish. I own the g93sc (dumb, glassy display). I prefer dumb models if only because they allow me to force a pixel refresh when I want not when it wants. Between SD or SC it depends on the light in your work\game environment. SC is better looking (small margin) because the SD with the anti glare does blur the display a bit. But if you have the sun glaring on your monitor, you will love the SD . I work in my basement. Now, the 49 is like 2x 2560x1440 27 inch monitors fused together. From your text , you may prefer the 57 inch which is 2x 32 inch 4k displays fused together (not OLED, but better for HDR)... But at that price you have the LG g9x (5k2k} that will be better for gaming... I use my 49 as a triple monitor (plus laptop screen) using fancy zones (poweryoys). Hope this helps.

As a new owner of a 32:9 g9 oled, 80% work in pbp mode ans 20% gaming ... I have to ask if you worked on both 32:9 and 21:9? When I got my first 1440p 16:9 it felt great compared to 1080p. Then this g9 essentially is 2x 27 inch 1440p monitors glued together which is great but can't deny the weird vertical lack of height feeling and for gaming I guess 21:9 is the perfect zone... But what about work? 5k2k looks like I could work well with 3 windows side by side like I do on my g9 but ... Is it? Typical work for me is teams open on my laptop display, outlook, pdf or email being written, web browser. I can't get my brain to think it will be as comfortable working 3 windows wide with 21:9 instead of 32:9? Thanks for your input.

I have the G93SD. Just got it 2 weeks ago. My only regret is that I never got this sooner. Amazing monitor and my first OLED!

Jeg har en 4080 super så den burde takle det. Det er i så fall en Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 Curved gamingskjerm S49CG934 hos komplett jeg ser litt på. KCD2 har jeg spilt en del selv så jeg kan bare forestille meg at det er en veldig god kombinasjon!

As I understand it, the MSI version has better passive cooling. I have a G93SD and a spot in the back gets up to 40 C. My monitor was built in May 2025, so Samsung has been building them for years with bad cooling.

One person on this subreddit stuck fans on the back. I think it's a little silly. Some people had their monitor for years without problems. I bought an 2 year warranty with mine, since it only came with a 1 year Samsung warranty (Canada). Beyond that I'll just buy a newer monitor. I just hope the heat won't crack the screen, as I understand Samsung often declines the warranty when that happens.

I’ve just bought this 49” Odyssey G9, watch out there’s many different G9 versions on the market with slight differences. https://www.vandenborre.be/computerscherm-pc-monitor/samsung-ls49dg934suxen?utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign==Redbrain&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=176013&awc=12677_1769783017_f655f8fa2fc7afcc8c485d355c0227e8 For gaming you’d want to look for a monitor with a low reaction time, something <2ms. And >=144Hz refresh rate. In a bright room I’d go for a regular IPS screen, while in a darker room I’d go with an oled. Oled has a risk of burning in but the modern screens shouldn’t, just be aware the lifetime of an oled might be more limited but reaction time will be lower overall. Also see if your graphics card can run your preferred games in 4K on an ultrawide, there’s no need to throw money at a 4K screen if your GPU can’t run your game in 4K without dropping fps 😉

I've had the G93SD which I think the only difference is it has 240hz. It was really nice but I ended up going with MSI's version instead ($729). No regrets Just putting that out there as a suggestion since Samsung's monitors are kind of a gamble of QC

I got the Samsung 49” G9 G93SD for $999 and HP Omen 34” c2 G2 for $319. Replaced three 32” Samsung G5 monitors. Display port in on Samsung and HP from PC with Nvidia 4070 Super video. HDMI on both from MAC Mini M4 and second HDMI on Omen from my Dish satellite Joey 4K wireless. Played Call of Duty MW3 Zombies at 5120x1440 @240 Hz last night. Wow! 0.03 ms response time. I also do programming and gives me plenty of real estate for any combo of programs open.
