Samsung - Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC)

It's a different version made with a chaper OLED panel that can only do 144Hz. The newer and more expensive panel does 240Hz. I picked up the G95SC 240Hz version for $1087 USD from Best Buy the week of Thanksgiving. I've had some issues with it regarding it holding picture during gaming sessions on Displayport with a 4070 TI (non-Super) and as well as overheating, so I'm looking at returning it. I think I solved the disconnecting issues by using HDMI (I prefer to use Displayport), but that's a different story.

So I ended up returning it to Best Buy on Monday and they had Geek Squad test out the monitor. They were having issues with display port on it as well. They couldn't get a picture to pick up on display port and it was constantly cycling (which is what it was doing when it would change refresh rate with gaming), HDMI worked perfectly. Ironically I picked up an Alienware 32" OLED 4K, and was having the same issues on HDMI with the same HDMI cable on the G9, and switching to the DP cable that was causing the disconnecting on the G9 has been fine lmao

Games that don’t support ultrawide just display in the center of the screen in a standard aspect ratio, with just black on both sides for the rest of the screen. Since oleds can display a straight up black, it really isn’t a bad thing. Also, I have the g95sc and use it for similar work to cad, Google fancy zones in powertoys if you don’t know what that is. You can partition the screen into zones you create and snap your applications into them Main gripe would be screen sharing, I have a portable 16” screen that sits straight on my desk solely for this purpose (great for housing email, chat and reference docs outside of sharing)

I bought one in October of last year, I got it on sale for $800 off....really enjoying it, I have two laptops hooked to it and can use it as a smart tv.

I have the G95SC and I love it. I imagine they're pretty damn close in specs. It took me a few months to get used to the width verses being a little narrower horizontally. But now that I have, sitting at a 'normal' monitor just feels ... wrong. And I decided quite a while back it's OLED for me from now on. Anyway, yes, highly recommend, just prepare for a few months of getting used to it.

There's something wrong with your pc because I'm getting sexy frames on my G9 with a 4090.

I am too. Same monitor. 4090. Battlefield 6. Close to 200fps.

I can't speak for other monitors, or how mine compares, I just know that I absolutely love my Samsung OLED G9 49” OLED (G95SC) on every level. I can never go back to non-OLED, ever. That's probably the biggest technological jump that I can't go back from, and you don't need your monitor to be ultra or superwide for that. But then the size - I'm a gamer, so it changed my game. What I can see, field of vision-wise, in a game like Arc Raiders, or Battlefield 6, is outrageous. It will be really hard to get a jump on me! On the business side, not having the ability to have multiple documents or applications open is also something I'd find it near-impossible to go back to. There is a caveat, you have to get used to the new size. Literally having to move your head to see something 'over there' is new. In the case of my monitor specifically, you trade a bit of vertical for the horizontal. I didn't love that at first and still wish I'd gone with a model that kept them both uniform. But got used to it. After 2 years, no burn-in, no dead pixels, Samsung knows how to make screens. Gets a bit hot though. And then you need to have a graphics card that can send ALL the pixels to a beast like this. In my case, I went with an RTX 4090, and I can run pretty much everything at Ultra, 1440p. Getting 140+ fps on the games I mentioned before, no sweat. On less-intensive games, I push 200+ fps easily. Anyway, big fan of my monitor. Will replace with another ultrawide eventually.

I can only warn you about listening to all the instant Alienware recommenders - I've had three replacement units and only problems. No problems with Samsung actually.

I'd strongly advice not to go for OLED for productivity, did that myself few days ago and it's a big mistake (at least for my eyes). text is crazy blurry and will give you eye strain like no other. Looking to switch into IPS or VA and keep G9 oled for gaming only (it's amazing for that, an absolute beaut). I'm considering something like U4025QW or superultrawide Dell Ultrasharp for productivity right now myself. Not going to get rid of g9 but I can't work with it. At least try to get a good look at it somewhere where you can compare it side to side.

1800R yeah. g95sc I have understood it has to do with the structure of oled screens, such as https://www.flatpanelshd.com/pictures/qdoledpixel_1_large.jpg showing it in action. Some don't seem to struggle, others do. That's why I'd recommend everyone to first compare before making the decision. I would have but more or less impossible in my location so went for it. I don't regret it however, first time I fired up Cyberpunk I was totally amazed, but have to find another screen for prodictivity, no way around it.

I bought the samsung g95sc and returned because of the UI and random black screens while gaming. The main reason was the ui/os.

I just got my G95SC and I'm totally stoked with it. I had a lot of interference causing things at my desk so I had to rearrange a bit so I could use a shorter DP cable, but it was worth it.

I have the 240hz version (G95SC) and run an i9 14900k with a 4090, typical example game like Warzone, I'm hitting 150 fps maximum (ultra settings). The G93SC is the same thing but without the Smart TV functions. The model you're looking at there is (i think) the CHG90: - 144HZ - WQHD - UK RRP £420 give or take

On my G95SC it works yes. There are settings in the main settings for the screen accessed via the remote. Set to adaptive it is quite cool but rather dim imo.

Used an Acer Predator Z35P for about 3yrs; 34" 21:9. Fast lost it's novelty as an upgrade from 4k 16:9s. Got the Samsung G95SC, had for 1yr so far; 49" 32:9. Major upgrade, love the image quality and responsiveness, issues I have include not enough height, annoyance at not enough curve (edges feel miles away) and those damn finger marks (from the kids, honest). My use case is as a software dev, gamer, and light design work. I run 2 27" 2k monitors at the sides in portrait, pretty much facing each other and provide that immersion when working, they're redundant when gaming. Games I love it for; WZ, LoU, CP2077, WoW, DaysGone, Civ6.

STAY AWAY. HAD the g95sc had constant Annoyances with os... not to mention panel RMA. I couldn't be happier getting rid of it.
