Samsung - Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (G91SD)

I have it and it crashes my laptop and my desktop when I come out of standby/sleep. It's a common issue with Nvidea drivers

No, the pc is just frozen and needs to be hard reset. I changed it to 120hz and I have stopped having issues

I purchased mine for 969 from Costco on black Friday, I added the 4 year protection plan for an extra 70 dollars. Great monitor so far, but kinda disappointed that it's only 144hz, and it's missing the RGB lights on the back that the G93SC has

Also does anybody know how long the manufacturer warranty is? My box is missing the warranty card that is supposed to have that type of information, and Samsung's website has absolutely nothing on this thing.

I just recently got one for my sim racing rig and I love it. I do wish it had the tighter curvature for my use case but if I were using it for productivity and regular desktop gaming it wouldn’t be an issue. I have an AW3423DW for my desk which is another great monitor and I’m considering grabbing another G9 OLED to replace it. I think the OLED is way better compared to the VA panel, once you get an OLED monitor or TV you will slowly start replacing every screen with an OLED lol. The VA version has some pretty nasty backlight bleed from what I found online. I was looking at the VA originally because it was like $700 at Best Buy but I went for the OLED for a couple hundred more due to the backlight issues. If anyone in the US is looking to pickup this monitor Amazon has it on sale right now for $950.

I bought this from Costco as I'm going to share this monitor between my work setup and sim racing rig. Visually looks way better than my old IPS monitors but not sure if I'm missing out by not having 240hz (prob not lol). If the 240hz oleds go on sale during boxing day I might just return this.

Yeah, Ive seen its normally 204hz, but this one it does mention 144hz. Im wondering if this might be a budget model specific for costco

I did buy it and it mentions 1year warranty. It seems the same version sold in US has 3years warranty

I was between this one and the one with VA panel I mentioned. Just returned the VA panel today, i think the oled image is way better and worth a shot. Also it seems this one comes with pixel refresh and some other protections against burn in. But Ill miss the 1000R curvature I cant comment on the neo one, that would be my first choice if I had the option to buy it. It seems they discontinued the 49 version and only have the 57 now, not sure why. Let me know which one you keep in the end, curious about the neo one against the oled

Sorry to hear that. In the end I kept the g91sd and didnt have any issue. Have you tried with a different computer and refresh rate?

hey it’s been ages but have you gone through and gotten the monitor?? as i have the same monitor and thinking about upgrading my gpu to the 7800 xt but don’t know how will it perform, could you please share with me any info on how it runs different games at what graphics settings?? That would be much appreciated as i can’t find any benchmarks on that resolution for the 7800 xt, Thankk youu!!

I would suggest go with Samsung Odessey G9 Neo 49 inch. You will find it cheap also I have a Macbook pro M1 pro laptop and for coding and office work it is perfect. Issue with OLED is burn in problem, almost all the time I have VS Code open so wouldn't like that. And due to subpixel arrangement, OLEDs are far less idle for using Office work, your Text might look pixelated. My G9 works perfectly at 60 hz not sure what is the issue but I cannot find 120hz. Its an Macbook issue, my other windows laptop works perfectly with 120 hz. Dont know why Apple restricts external display even though CPUs are powerful.

Its good for office work/coding. I use it all the time. Text is crispy. Although if you are a UI developer I will not recommend because of the local dimming. It darkens the small white color in black background. So sometimes it pretty hard to see my mouse in dark background. But I am super happy for my Work. I can open my instances, 2 VS code window side by side without any issue.

Thank you for letting us know. I grabbed one at Costco Laval today. I have the Neo G49 and got this one. I really feel how OLED is superior; even compared  with the beast Neo G9, I’m still deciding whether to keep it or not. Does anyone know if this G9 144 Hz OLED has the second-gen OLED panel? I don't know if it's placebo or not. I'm using it at work now, and I don't feel my eyes hurting like I did on the Alienware due to text infringement. With this one, I feel that it's so minimal.

"Whoa! Thank you! You were right; it's definitely an improvement! I'm impressed that it's an OLED and I can use it for work, but I'm still debating whether I should keep it and sell the Neo G9. How about you? Do you like the monitor so far?"

I want to provide an update on this screen compared to the Neo. I made the decision to sell the Neo and keep the OLED; I hope I will not regret this decision, lol. Even though I sold the Neo, it is still very competitive compared to the OLED. But I swear, aside from everything else, I think the main strong point of the OLED is its 0.3 sec response time. I played Warzone today, and I felt it’s not gimmicky. However, I’m stressing out about using this screen for work (for now it’s good, especially since you told me to activate the eyecare) and about the burn-in risks.

I have the G91SD and I'm getting intermittent flickering (doesn't matter with different cables and happens on multiple PCs). Samsung is forcing me to have a repair tech come look at it today before considering exchanging it 🙄

Yes, turned it all the way down to 60hz just to see. Tested on my work laptop and my personal laptop as well. I think it's something with the board since it happens with both DP and HDMI connections.

I tried one of these, if you don’t have a dedicated desk don’t bother, it took up most of my 8 seat dining room table lol

Thanks for the review—really appreciate it. I was a bit worried about how the matte coating would feel coming from the Samsung G9 QD-OLED, since I’m used to that glossy punch. I think I’ll probably hold off for now and wait until someone brings out a QD-OLED 5K2K.

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.

49” is the Samsung SD series and the 27” is the Joled LG ep950.

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 think 45" is very close to, if not the sweet spot. I have the 49" g9 OLED, which I very much enjoy, but i think the extra vertical screen space would be nice to have.

Yeah. I use my G9 for work/productivity. 32:9 is sadly poorly supported in games. Many games support ultrawide (21:9), but when you're going superultrawide the sides are just getting stretched and you can encounter bugs here and there in certain games. I actually prefer 16:10 but I guess thats so year 2000.

Oled g9 frequently goes on sale for 1k. Owned for a year and it’s flawless.

I'm using a G9 OLED, I often prefer my 2 or 3 monitor setup for work over the super ultrawide. Even though that G9 OLED screen is of godlike quality.

So far a year in, no burn in.

I'm on G9 OLED. 5K2K LG doesnt have better colours so its a pass. Waiting better version of QD-OLED or something that is better than G9.

Thanks OP for doing comparison. I own G9 OLED also and i did feel that immersion in gaming Samsung got it better. The aggressive curve on LG and 4K just doesnt cut it. Games that support full UW i have huge immersion.

Exactly same feeling here. If we buy OLED panel monitors there cant be compromise in colour accuracy or vibrant tone. Sadly LG using matte coat and with WOLED its not as good as Samsung QD-OLED. I'm been using a lot HDR Mode also in games even if they dont support naturally, its still so much better than without it except few games where its messed up like D4. This is where G9 shines. Another problem is aggressive curve. Not good for productivity.

I have the Samsung 49" G9 OLED. It has been amazing. Splitting the monitor in 3 let me do a lot at once, like watching a game while doing accounting, while I have Facebook, local newspaper or the stock exchange open at far left. I really don't see the difficulties regarding small text. I have just finished my master thesis in economics, which means a lot reading different sources, writing a lot of pages and implement quite a few formulas. Never have I had any issues reading the text, nor writing it. Integrated speakers, 240hz, remote control, OLED... what's not to like? The only drawback is that it only support 1440p, thus I've just ordered the 57".

agree on almost everything single bit - except you didnt mention the fact G9 OLED handles text clarity way better. I am not returning the monitor though, because G9 OLED is just too slim.

For many years I just loved my G9 VA-Panel. Even compared to my new OLED G9, the picture still holds up in clarity and colors.

I agree, I just got my 49" OLED and it has been amazing but I have also been looking at the LG as my next upgrade already. This tells me that I can wait and be happy with what I have. I don't have the budget or GPU for the 5k2k anyway.

I got the Samsung OLED g9 for 1099, and I'm loving it. Would recommend.

I picked up my Samsung OLED 49" for $600 off Facebook Marketplace. Dude that bought big lots of things.

My G9 was my first and last Samsung product as well.

Bonjour , merci de ce commentaire qui finalement va me tenir loin de cette écran jusqu'à la prochaine génération ... Les normes DP deviennent aussi casse pied que celle du HDMI. Et pour le coup, cela semble toujours posé d'énorme soucis aux constructeurs et Nvidia pour des écrans avec des définitions et taux d'images aussi élevé. Je suis actuellement sur un Samsung G9 Oled / 4090 et que dire a part c'est merdique. De mon coté la cause est clairement identifiée sur le "DSC" La compression du flux d'affichage peut réduire la bande passante requise pour transmettre des signaux vidéo haute résolution en compressant le signal vidéo afin de réduire la quantité de données à transmettre sans compromettre la qualité de l'image. Samsung à modifier le firmware plusieurs fois sans succès. Et aprés des dizaines de tests, il faut et la version du firmware et le driver qui vas avec sans pouvoir prétendre aux évolutions de Nvidia ce qui est impossible .... Le dual mode est le second soucis car automatisé L'écran s'allume en mode Normal avec une bande passante limitée Dp1.4 Soit 3840x1080 120hz Puis une fois Windows lancé et les drivers en place , le DSC s'active pour passer l 'écran en 5120 240hz et la c'est le bazard intégral ( écran qui clignote , soucis de changement de couleur de pixel .. Sauf si je réinstalle le driver Nvidia qui correspond a l'époque de la sortie du firmware de l'écran... Bref finalement j'ai du abandonné le DP pour le HDMI qui pour le coup a une bande passante plus large. Mais bon le cable est moins bien fixer ... Bref je n'aime pas, mais je dois faire avec car pas envie de le vendre pour moins bon quand il fonctionne. Ce 45gx me semblait une super alternative , mais il semble subir les même effets négatifs ...

45" might be the sweetspot. I'm coming from a 49" Samsung G9 OLED.

I have the G9 OLED and am thinking of going to the LG myself. I love the picture on the G9 but I've noticed in the games I've played, i tend to focus on the center of the monitor than the edges. In my case, the increased height and decreased width would be a benefit. Plus, the LG has DisplayPort 2.1 which allows it to be pushed more if you have a decent 50 series Nvidia card.

The one I upgraded from was an LG 34UM88C I'm now on a Samsung Odyssey G9 which was a big upgrade for me. More than doubled my refresh rate, OLED, 32:9, HDR. Although the 34UM88C is no longer available new I'm sure there are suitable 1440p 34 inch IPS displays that are more feature rich now. In fact I can see LG's 34WQ75C is an IPS 1440p 100Hz, HDR10. I'd also recommend using [pcpartpicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=344001440&P=2&sort=price&page=1) to look at monitors that meet your specs.

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.

It's a 5120x1440p Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED monitor with HDR on. These pictures doesn't do the game justice :3 I got a 5800X3D, and a 7900 XTX which I upgraded from a 3070, so I could play this game at UW and Max settings. The game runs at like 60-90fps, but sit on 70\~75 most of the time with Native resolution, I only use FSR Native AA, no upscaling otherwise. It's at a stable 120+ fps with FSR frame gen, which actually looks decent! I'm very happy with it, it's a very good and versatile monitor for both gaming and productivity. c: But there's some annoyances with an UW this large though, like if you wanna play with a smaller resolution, like 2560x1440p(16:9) for more fps, and use the other half as a second monitor, you'll need to play in windowed mode or else you get black bars on the sides. But I use 'Windowed Borderless Gaming' to remove the window borders and lock the games to one side of the screen. and set the game to a custom resolution (I usually played with 2560x1440(16:9) or 3440x1440(21:9) before I got this GPU). Also some older games that doesn't support windowed mode and this resolution may end up getting stretched out and look awful, or play in Fullscreen with borders on the sides with no options to use the other half. But a cool thing you can do with this monitor is Picture in Picture(PIP) mode, where you can either connect two cables to the same PC and use it as two monitors, or you can connect a second PC or console and use them both on the same monitor; either as a small window in the corner or the other half of the screen. I haven't tried it yet but, you don't lose all the benefits of having two monitors vs one UW :D Bit long answer, but I hope it can help you in your decision! I'm at least very happy with this monitor, I've had it for 6 months now. c:

Looks alot Like my 49" Samsung Odyssee G9 Oled. Can recommend that one alot. Beast of a Monitor.

I have both with me right now. Going to return the LG

I LOVE my G9 OLED, however my first cable WAS defective.... had to swap it for a different one, but it's been amazing since... been a year ish? since I had it no burn in yet. I turned the auto off feature on so I can let it fall asleep at night. Also do the pixel shift anytime it comes up. For me it's amazing!

I recently switched from Alienware AW3423DWF to Samsung G9 49" OLED. The only thing that was not great was test caritas on Alienware, it was perfect for gaming. G9 appears to handle test better and it is absolutely fine for me for 6h of daily productivity use. On the other hand 5K2K screen is less adjusted for gaming so your results my dependant on the games yoh are playing - for example Forza Horizon looks amazing, but Tekken 8 is werset with black bars only. I'm happy alienware stayed with me and is now connected to my son's gaming pc 😀

The Samsung Oled G9 is one huge 40% discount right now 49" of the best oled I've ever experienced

49" G9 OLED!! If not, than at least get an OLED of whatever you're looking at. Once you go OLED , you'll never go back. I can now see ALL the stars in the galaxy and still see my skip lit lol. Caves are great. Landing in planet at night even better

Hi could you expand on this please? I have the m4 Mac mini and the OLED G9 49”, I cannot for the life of me get 5120x1440 resolution. I have it connected usbc to the display port. The exact cable is this one https://www.amazon.com/Warrky-DisplayPort-Gold-Plated-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B0C994L4LL/ref=asc_df_B0C994L4LL?mcid=da894d9e7d353ccb95286348f95d04e3&hvocijid=5691029188785633519-B0C994L4LL-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5691029188785633519&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061184&hvtargid=pla-2281435182658&psc=1 I’m desperate for any sort of help lol I can’t figure it out

I thought there were another g9 oled when I read the original post since I also have both plus g9 original 800r. I wish g9 oled was 800r. I love the oled but like this tight wraparound fr immersion. 1000r is better for productivity but I am using 800r for work, 1000r oled for gaming fixed with my simrig and lg 5k2k for general gaming and working (another room)

I had a 34inch flat 21:9 ultrawide. Went to a 49inch Samsung oled odyssey with 1800R. Was a huge upgrade in terms of fov (75 to 115), but didn’t really wow me as much as I expected. I then went from the 49 to the 57inch 1000R monitor and the difference is huge. I get 152 fov, the curve is great and at 410mm away it completely fills my peripheral vision. I don’t miss the oled at all with the 57inch in game, the blacks are very black, although outside of gaming there is a lot of noticeable haloing around bright spots. If I had to have a 49inch I would definitely pick a 1000R after having the 1800R. It’s a big difference in immersion and a big fov boost

You could also get the g9 OLED for pretty cheap I got mine for 850$, if you wait for it to go on sale

Yeah I'd kill for a dual 4k 57in qd-oled but that's not gonna be coming for many years. Until then I'm sticking to my g9 OLED

I have the samsung odyssey g9 oled 49". I use it for a mix of work, gaming, and trading. What i like about it is the multi view functionality where it splits from 49 to 2 1440p monitors in one. Their are some nuances about a screen that size. Using a tool like power toys by Microsoft is a must because you can create zones otherwise you do manually. I have other experiences but figurd this was about what your looking for. Also note: a plus but does feel like a con is that it has a screen optimization thing that happens after a while of the monitor being on. It runs for 10 minutes and comes back. Some folks have had issues with burn in as many monitors have dealt with, the first one I got i had to return due to having a dead pixel line down one side. I returned to my local microcenter and came back home same day and have 0 issues since. Switching inputs can be a pain until you get used to it also the version monitor I have is what samsung considers a smart monitor with streaming and such built in. Knowing what I know now I would have went with the non-smart version 1 because it's cheaper and 2 if I am streaming anything I'm doing it on the computer or TV not specifically the monitor. Other than that I love this monitor

This^ So far I have had great success with my odyssey which is the g9 oled. My monitor had this screen optimization thing that keeps the pixels refreshed. I use my monitor for a mix of stuff. I'm a tech consultant who has a ton of virtual meetings, reading statement of works, as well as pc/ps5 gaming. I like the g9 oled because I can split screen the ps5 and pc while working

As an owner of three G9 Odyssey, I’m going to say that this 5K2K monitor might really be the sweet spot since I’m certain more games support this aspect ratio.

Hi all, After watching and reading countless reviews on LG’s new 45" 5K2K (5120x2160) UltraGear WOLED monitor, I finally caved and bought one to see how it compares to my current setup. Spoiler: I’ll be returning it — and I’ll explain why below. **Context:** I’m not in desperate need of a new monitor. I currently daily drive both the Samsung G9 OLED and the G9 Neo Mini-LED. I’ve also owned the original G9. But as a tech enthusiast, I couldn’t resist trying out a 21:9 5K2K WOLED panel — a spec combination I haven’t experienced before. This review is written from the perspective of someone who already owns the Samsung G9 OLED (or similar ultra-wides), and wants to know if the LG 5K2K offers anything better. If you’re in that boat, this is for you. If you still have questions afterward, feel free to ask in the comments. **TL;DR:** Tried the LG 5K2K WOLED monitor (45", 5120x2160) to compare with my Samsung G9 OLED. Returning the LG. * **Productivity:** LG wins. Its taller 21:9 screen fits more usable windows without neck strain. Great for multitasking. * **Gaming Immersion:** Slight edge to LG due to its taller screen feeling more "portal-like," but the G9’s ultra-wide curve still holds strong. * **Color/Vibrancy:** G9 OLED wins. Its QD-OLED + glossy panel has noticeably more pop, especially in games — particles, effects, and colors feel more alive. * **Ergonomics:** LG is better in bright rooms (matte), but G9 feels more immersive in dim settings. **Verdict:** LG 5K2K is great, but G9 OLED is still king for immersive gaming and vibrant visuals. Returning the LG. \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 1. Productivity – LG 5K2K Wins (Surprisingly) This was the biggest shock. The LG absolutely crushed the G9 OLED when it came to productivity. * The 21:9 aspect ratio paired with the 45” diagonal and higher vertical resolution (2160p) gives you a lot more usable vertical space than the 32:9 G9 OLED. * I could comfortably run **six windows** in a 3x2 layout (3 top, 3 bottom), and each one was perfectly legible, even with my less-than-perfect eyesight. * On the G9 OLED, I usually top out at 3 or maybe 4 windows horizontally. Trying to stretch to the sides just strains my neck — that ultra-wide width becomes a disadvantage over long work sessions. * TL;DR: If productivity is your focus, **LG wins hands down**. * One note though, I prefer reading text on my G9 OLED more than the LG5K2K. I don't know what it is, maybe due to how WOLED arranges its subpixels but the font feels a little more blurry to me despite the higher PPI and resolution. # 2. Gaming Immersion – Slight Edge to LG (But It's Subjective) Here’s where things get more nuanced. * The LG 5K2K feels like you're looking through a **portal** because of the taller screen. It fills more of your vertical field of view, which makes the experience more enveloping — particularly for first-person games. * The G9 OLED, being wider but shorter, wraps around your peripheral vision more. That sounds great — and often is — but also means you **see more of your actual environment** around and behind the monitor, which can slightly break immersion. * **HUD placement** was a noticeable issue: * On the G9 OLED, HUD elements can be *too far apart* — pushed to the far corners of the screen — making it harder to glance at key info without turning your head. * On the LG 5K2K, the HUD is tighter, but I found myself moving my **eyes up and down more often**, which became fatiguing over time. I tried adjusting distance and posture, but it remained a minor annoyance. I'd still prefer this over the G9 though tbf. * Weirdly, I felt like I could process what’s happening in a game faster on the G9 OLED. Maybe I’m more used to its layout? # 3. Display Quality / Color Reproduction – G9 OLED Has the Edge This was the **deal-breaker** for me. * **G9 OLED (QD-OLED, Glossy)** delivers richer, more vibrant colors, especially for games. Skill animations, particle effects, and subtle lighting cues just “pop” more. * **LG 5K2K (WOLED, Matte)** is no slouch — it’s still a gorgeous panel and miles better than any non-OLED monitor. I'd even use it over my G9 Mini-LED But: * Reds are slightly muted. * Color transitions feel a bit flatter. * Particles and subtle effects lack the sparkle and depth I’ve grown to expect from the G9. * It’s hard to capture in photos or video, but side-by-side, the difference is noticeable. * I spent **two full days tweaking** settings on the LG — brightness, contrast, HDR modes, color balance — trying to get it to feel like the G9. I got close, but never quite there. Is this a WOLED vs QD-OLED thing? Matte vs Glossy? Both? Possibly. But **if you’re picky about vibrancy and clarity**, the G9 OLED still reigns supreme. # 4. Form Factor & Ergonomics Some quick notes: * **LG 5K2K’s 45" screen** size didn’t feel too small coming from a 49", but I definitely noticed the difference in width. For split-screen multitasking, it’s *fine*. For ultra-wide games, it feels a bit tighter. * The **curve** on the LG is gentler than the G9 OLED. Some people prefer this — personally, I liked the G9’s more aggressive wraparound for gaming. * **Matte vs Glossy**: The LG’s matte coating reduces reflections, which is great for bright rooms. But the G9’s glossy finish enhances perceived contrast and vibrancy, and I personally find it more visually appealing in a dim room. # 5. Performance & FPS Tradeoffs – LG5K2K Demands More for Less Visual Payoff One critical point I haven’t seen covered much in other reviews is **how demanding the LG 5K2K is on your system**, and how that plays into overall experience — especially for gamers. * The **5120x2160 resolution** is no joke. It’s significantly more pixels than the G9 OLED’s 5120x1440 (about **33% more**), which translates into a **noticeable FPS drop** across most modern titles. * In my case, using a **7900XTX**, I consistently saw at least **20% lower frame rates** at native resolution on the LG5K2K compared to the G9 OLED. FSR helps with this greatly but I honestly don't like turning it on or using framegen if at all possible. * For slower-paced or cinematic games, this might not matter much. But in fast-paced shooters or action-heavy games, the performance hit makes a real difference — especially if you value high refresh rates and smooth gameplay. What made this worse is that **the visual payoff didn’t justify the cost**. While the LG5K2K has great image quality, I kept thinking: *"I’m losing what 25–30 FPS just to get slightly less vibrant color?"* That tradeoff didn’t make sense to me — especially when the G9 OLED already looks stunning and runs better. The higher resolution on paper is nice but honestly I didn't notice it too much unless I'm looking at a static picture. I'd totally watch movies on the LG5K2K over the G9 OLED though due to the resolution and taller size. If you don’t have a top-tier GPU or are sensitive to drops in smoothness, the LG’s higher resolution might end up feeling more like a burden than a benefit. # 6. Final Verdict The LG 5K2K is a fantastic monitor. If I didn’t already own the G9 OLED, I might’ve kept it. But for my use case — primarily gaming and productivity — it just doesn’t offer enough to warrant replacing what I already have. * **If you value productivity and prefer taller screens** with less neck strain, the LG might be a better fit for your setup. * **If you want top-tier vibrancy, and color punch,** the G9 OLED still wins. Ultimately, I’ll be returning the LG. It’s a great panel, but not a **better** panel — at least not for me. I really wanted this to be my endgame monitor for the next couple years and one question I had to ask myself was how would I feel if Samsung or someone came out with a 5K2K 45" 21:9 monitor with the same color and vibrancy the G9 QD-OLED offers? I'd no longer want the LG5K2K, I'd want that one! Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have any specific questions I didn’t cover and I'll do my best to answer.

The ideal monitor? Absurd answer from me personally is a monitor that is 3x 27 inch monitors with 800-1000r curve. Turn the middle into a 21:9 aspect ratio with display fusion and the left and right sides used as 2 monitors for media. More grounded ideal monitor would be anything between 34 to 45 inch 21:9 with 5k resolution and at least 144hz refreshrate. I am thinking the 39 inch may be the best for gaming but its not out yet. I have the 45 LG 5k2k and the g9 oled samsung and i am honestly liking the LG ad a more versatile option for work and gaming. It has pbp and pip modes which i use for work sometimes, but i do find the taller screen and higher ppi to be just as good for work compared to the wider 49 oled. The LG also works better for me as it is 21:9 and i dont need to use software to adjust aspect ratios like the g9. I do wish the lg was glossy, however, it is less noticeable than i thought it would be, especially compared to older matte screens. I also make use of the power delivery with my work laptop. I would say a bit better color vibrancy, a remote, slighty more brightness, maybe 1440p secondary mode with 240hz instead of 1080p if thats possible, and maybe a 1000r curve but 800r is acceptable, would be good imrpovements

I'm hoping for maybe next year /2026 for an OLED version of their 57" Odyssey. Now that we're seeing 5k2k 21:9 kick off, it's only a matter of time for 32:9 7k2k 7680x2160 OLEDs to be the next big thing. This solves the problem with immersion and productivity, that resolution is going to be a nightmare trying to run... RTX 6090 will be needed. I have the G9, and after doing the math in terms of physical size, going to a 21:9 OLED really just seemed like a side grade without major benefits, especially since it's a WOLED panel that's a step down in color.

I've had the 49 OLED for almost 2 years now, got one at launch. It's a great monitor. My only real complaint though, is just how buggy the damn TV OS it uses is. Still have frequent issues with the displaying blanking out while alt tabbing, or sometimes the UI just crashes and I have to physically reboot the monitor to get video output again. Outside of that, from a color and gaming perspective it's the perfect monitor. 32:9 and 240hz is amazing for playing boomer shooters, stuff like Forgive Me Father 2 or Project Warlock 2 are great on this monitor.

As someone who owns a G9 OLED, AW3423DW, and a LG 5k2k I will say that it all comes down to preference. Personally I rank the G9 the lowest. I don't love the format. I bought it for flight sims gaming and find that I don't use it much. It sits on a separate desk and my kids use it mostly. I love 21:9 and think the AW3423DW is the best display I have ever owned. I was a 21:9 early adopter and bought the first one ever made in 3440x1440. So I have been using the format and resolution for about a decade. As such I wanted something new. Enter the LG 5k2k. I had previously tried the 1440p version and it is comically bad. The PPI is truly awful. The 5k2k on the other hand is truly a remarkable experience. I anticipated I might return it. I don't like matte coating. I thought that 800r curve was going to be stupid. I wasn't a fan of the fact the PPI is only 126 instead of the comparable 140+ from the 32 inch OLEDs. After owning it though..... There is nothing like it. I have a 5090 so driving it isn't a problem. So for my two cents 1. LG 5k2k 2. AW3423DW (but a close second) 3. G9 (distant 3rd) I think the 32:9 format is going to die out. It just can't compare to these new bigger 21:9 https://howbigg.com/?displays=%5B%22Display+1_16x9_0_0_27_in_2560x1440_0%22%2C%22Display+2_21x9_0_0_34_in_3440x1440_0%22%2C%22Display+3_21x9_0_0_45_in_5120x2160_0%22%2C%22Display+4_32x9_0_0_49_in_5120x1440_0%22%5D

I'm using the Samsung oled 5120x1440 and it's awesome.

When you play an immersive game, it's nice to have "more game" in your peripheral vision. Idk, I can't go back after 32:9

Yeah that's why I like the gentle curve, work and gaming both feel good and 32:9 still immersive for me

u/LG_UserHub \- I currently use a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 49" super ultrawide. I can say that I wish the curve was more aggressive. The resolution is fine at 5120x1440p but I do wish it were a little bit taller on the view height like the 2160 size of 4k monitors. The 32:9 aspect ratio is good when the content supports it but most game devs don't do 32:9 but they do support 21:9. I would love to try out that 5k2k and would be able to provide a great real life testimonial if it is truly a better experience.

I agree with this take. I’ve got the G9 OLED, and I use it for both gaming on a Windows box and programming on a Mac Studio. Once I installed BetterDisplay and got it dialed in on the Mac, I absolutely love it. I’ve got VS Code setup up with dark Solarized highlighting, and it’s so easy to have docs open while having one or two files open for edit.

Just got the g9 oled 49 in. a week ago. I almost exclusively play Iracing. I’m working with ryzen 9 7900x with a 7900xt. I came from a single 1440 32 in. and was real worried about performance issues. It’s been worth every dollar, no issues at all, running near max settings (I think I have crowd and foliage turned down some) and seem to run close to 200 fps normally. Daytona start can drop frames a bit, but it picks right back up on formation lap. Hope this helped some.

Just got my Samsung oled g9 and about to try elite tonight on it. Running 32gb or ram, a 5900x and a 3080ti. When I ran 1440p on my 32inch g5 I was getting decent fps. I'd wager it'll drop now with the 49" monitor but I hope not lol I love running this game on highest settings

Interesting, I have my G9 Oled plugged into my PC with Display port. But using a Macbook pro max M1 the screen quality is significantly worse. Am I doing something wrong? I think I was using Displayplort 1.4 cables to thunderbolt.

Samsung G9 Oled supports Gsync and Nvidia cards

Love my 49” OLED odyssey but was so nervous to break it it almost defeated the entire purpose. Went back to Best Buy and purchased the 4 year warranty. $170 well spent imo. Complete peace of mind and it covers burn in as well

I currently own a G9 OLED after switching from 3x 27in 1440p LGs. I really miss being able to dedicate a screen to gaming, discord, and YouTube/ Spotify etc. I ended up switching to PBP mode and just gaming in 21:9 but it feels weird not being centered with the monitor when focusing on a game. I’m tossing around the idea of getting the 45in LG and mounting the G9 above it in PBP to solve that. I just don’t think it’s a big enough problem to spend 2K to fix. Someone tell me I don’t need this…

I currently use a 32:9 49” OLED, and absolutely love it. 21:9 seems to be the most adopted aspect ratio. Would love to see what Assassins Creed or Death Stranding looks like on this beast. It appears to be the best monitor you can get. Would absolutely love to test one out and give unbiased opinion.

I would’ve bought this in a heartbeat over the oled g9 but the 144hz was a deal breaker for me. Plus that stand is hilariously intrusive

I got a g9 oled on sale for 900 from Amazon not the “smart tv” version but it’s been a great monitor for me so far

I have g9 oled and the lg 45 when i am switching betwen them from flat or little curve to 800r it makes me sick sometimes but if you will use just the lg you will get use to it eventualy.

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

It is overblown. The panel has features to delay it from happening. Every 4 hours of use it will do a pixel refresh, and it has settings to save excessive light from staying bright and burning the panel in

I use the G9 OLED for productivity and gaming. The hate is way overblown. I came from IPS and absolutely love the monitor. Text is clear and easy to read after calibrating. I'm on Windows 11, but maybe people using MacBooks or something don't have as great of results?

My G9 Oled has been my second Samsung G9 monitor (and general samsung monitor) and the OG G9 I had before had many issues, this was fine for a year then the black screens started. Just put it in for "repair" with samsung UK which apparently generally results in a refund because they don't do replacements or repairs for this faulty product. I'm left here need 5120x1440 Oled 49" and don't want to downgrade to anything less, but not wanting to buy another Samsung G9 Oled because it too will eventually have the same issues. Is there any alternative, there seems to be loads of somewhat similar products from phillips, MSI, Asus, Gigabyte and lesser known brands but apparently they have the same panel as the G9 Oled and so would suffer the same issues?

The G9 Oled 49" is currently on sale for less than £800 in the UK multiple store fronts including samsung website. Don't settle for less than Oled imo. Wait for sale to hit EU if it hasn't already. I google price history on a monitor to find cheapest.

34” is the standard mass-produced panel size, so honestly just get whatever. I’ve had good experiences with LG. Expect to pay around $240 for a LED panel. If you can spend a bit more, the standard choices would be the LG Ultragear 39 or 45 vs the Samsung Odyssey 49. Both are OLED 1440p. The Odyssey is wider (equivalent to two monitors side by side) but the Ultragear is taller and tends to work better for games (you don’t have to turn your head to see the minimap, etc.) The choice here is productivity (Odyssey) vs gaming (Ultragear.) Also be aware that the Odyssey is a Samsung so you have to sign in to an online account to use the menus, which I found very annoying.

32:9, 8k2k, 49-52" or so OLED... nice sweet spot.

As a G9 OLED owner - how are the smart features on the LG 5k2k? I'm real tempted to jump ship but the smart stuff on Samsung's monitor is *painful* to say the least, and is probably my only/main sour point with the G9 OLED.

That's why you flex the Best Buy TotalTech plan. Bought the 49 OLED Sammy, used it for 20 months. It developed some sleep issues, and I walked it right in, returned it, got my money back on a gift card (minus the $50 fee). Now holding onto the gift card for the LG coming out later this year.

Not even close. I cant even push og g9(5120x1440) with 3090. Without frame gen i cant maxout new titles anymore. I dont even blame the gpu tbh.

Windows + alt + B. If you have an RTX gpu and you have no other monitors plugged into the GPU, just leave HDR on and enable RTX HDR. I also have the Odyssey ultrawide oled. This combo is good.

As an owner of the 49” ultrawide monitor Odyssey G9, I believe the sweet spot for the ultrawide monitor is between 39” to 45”, 5k resolution with at least 120 hz refresh rate. Anything bigger is too big and anything smaller defeat the purpose of ultrawide concept. Of course in order to take advantage of this, you need a high end system with a 4090 or higher video card, which I currently have.

I use a 49” Samsung Odyssey G9 with a M2 Pro Mac mini at 5120x1440. Works fine, with no blurred text under macOS and Windows 11 on VMware Fusion (which is now free for personal use, BTW).

I have a 49” Odyssey g9 and a 4080 Super, as well as a 7900XTX, both can run the display just fine. I’m getting around 130fps in space and around 80-90fps in cities. Rendering at full resolution. The ultrawide is crazily immersive! But it def has some drawbacks. In addition to what other have said, other games may not support it, which makes it the opposite of immersive, seeing the big black mars on either side. Biggest thing for me is a monitor this big and heavy is just a pain. You need a huge space, a huge desk, and the stand leaves little room once set up. I got an arm for it, which was expensive because it needs to be very strong, and that arm broke my desk with the weight. Then I got another desk, and even with it being a solid core desk (not solid wood, but plywood with a metal frame) it has still managed to permanently bow the desk top…and it’s a good desk. If you’re using it for a few hours at a time with a high refresh rate, it gets quite warm. Warm enough that I can feel the heat radiating off the screen from several inches away, and that heat (at least in my case) is enough to heat my office up a degree or two over time. I’ve had some issues recently with flickering that I’ve been trying to address, and support hasn’t been super helpful. We move probably once every year to every two years, and this is a pain to move. We have to store the giant box it came in, since there isn’t any other way to safely secure it, and again, the thing is gigantic, so it’s just difficult. All that said, I still love the monitor! It’s so immersive and cool. If the OLED model had been out when I was buying a few years ago, I would have gone for that. It’s so much smaller and lighter.

I had the original 49” G9 with a 3090 back in 2021 and it was great. I just recently switched to the 57” with a 5090. Your 5080 will be more than enough for that resolution. You’ll want to use all of the AI tricks to use ray and path tracing but you’ll get a solid FPS.

Pro: Playing SC with a 49" is very immersive, you have a great view, it's really nice. Con : SC is not optimized for ultrawide yet (lot of icon or effect are cropped). I have a G9 Odyssey with a 3070, and frame rate is horrible...

I have had a g9 odyssey for 4 years, three house moves. No dead pixels, no issues, great monitor. If you take care of stuff it will usually take care of you in my experience. I would purchase another G9 at this point if I needed to. It's been great to me.

45” may just be the sweet spot. I use a 49” G9 and a 38GN950 which are both brilliant but in the middle could be a great compromise

I’m on a 49 inch Samsung G9 5120x1440p. My old build 5950 & 3080 held reasonably well but did struggle at times.

I almost went with an OLED, but I decided I didn't want to baby my display all the time and worry about burn in. I had a 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 previously. When it went out, I couldn't get myself to go with a smaller size and I really liked the 1000R curve, so I bought this year's version of the 49" Samsung G9 that Best Buy had on sale for $799.

I’m currently rocking the 49” Samsung Odyssey G9 which is a nice monitor and great for work. I love the space and it’s very nice for gaming. I’ve been considering this monitor because the down side of the G9 is I don’t have much space for monitors in the side. I have one stacked above it and it’s like cracking my neck every time to look up. Knowing the aspect resolution is smaller is enticing to me from a gaming perspective, most likely more frames. I have a 9800X3D and a 9070 XT. Would you still recommend this monitor for my use case? I literally just searched for reviews and found yours last night 😂

Why would you have 143 fov? Are you sitting 6 inches from the screen? I have the same monitor and use 108

When I get that close, my eyes get crossed up lol. No idea how you can manage that but props to you 

I use my M1 MacBook Pro with my odyssey G9 at 5120x1440 and it handles it perfectly. I see no reason the m4 mini would have a problem.

I play on Borderless Display mode 2560x1440 240fps on my Samsung Oddyssey G9 UW. Playing on full screen just feels too much. Easier to focus on 16:9.

It would feel too short. The 49” G9 is a 27” 16:9 display in vertical height. The LG 45” 5k2k is a 36” 16:9 display in vertical height.

Triples are least expensive and give best FOV if you have the space. The Samsung 49 inch G9 is more expensive, but it’s an easier setup and gives a very good FOV, but a bit smaller than triples screen. The Samsung Arc is massive, heavy and way expensive if you are just thinking using it for a sim right now. I got mine in sale and I’m happy with it. But it’s smart device, a great entertainment device/tv if you use a game console, it can even act as a game console, and it’s good for doing work but I’m not sure I could use it with my rig. It you want to go that big and your use case is only sim racing, just get a big regular monitor or tv.

Like the others said here, your monitor is too far imo. I have the same one above my wheelbase and its decently immersive. Maybe try that first!

I have no issues using my Samsung Odyssey G9 QHD with my Mac mini M4 Pro. It’s connected via Thunderbolt to DisplayPort, running 5120x1440 at 240Hz.

I went from 27" 1080p triples to a 49" G9 ultrawide. Only stayed on the ultrawide for a few months before upgrading again, this time to 32" 1440p triples. It's a night and day difference, not even close. The 49" is perfectly fine but it pales in comparison to triples.

Before buying my 49" inch G9 I heard the same kind of reviews from various sources - that the curve of the screen is difficult for the eyes to get used to, among other things. I did enough research to come to the conclusion that those reviews were total bullshit. After receiving mine, I now think that those reviews were *surely* paid by competing companies as the 49" G9 is literally *perfect* for the eyes. I suspect that the same thing is happening here.

Yeah I dunno, the 49” has the same sort of thing going on with sort of flat ends. It’s not noticeable and it’s probably intentional to improve UX.

49” G9 with M4 mac mini running display port connection works nicely when it works. The constant disconnecting from the back USB C port is a giant pain.

I have this monitor along with a 7800x3D and a 4090. With nearly max graphics and depending on the number of other cars on track, I average 170-220 fps at about 143 fov. So based on what you’re wanting, I’d say this is the hardware you want. There is no future proofing with that monitor running 240hz. Basically the next gen of chips/gpus (9800x3D + 5090) will be future proofing, because by then you’ll be maxing out your 240hz monitor.

Yeah not sure. I also have the g9 49” and absolutely love it. I also have the crg9 49” and the lack of curve is pretty noticeable. Much prefer the g9. Sounds like the 57” might be somewhere in between. I’d like to see one in person but can’t find it anywhere.

I mean it really depends on what your standards are here. You're looking at like somewhere around 110 PPI which is pretty average and on par or better than most standard monitors you'd see in cubicles at companies that people work on every day. Perfectly serviceable but in this day and age we are spoiled with 300+ PPI screens on some of our devices so now we can notice the difference in text sharpness especially between the two so that's either something that bothers you or it doesn't. I'd say you're absolutely fine. I use the G9 5120x1440p and that's 110 PPI and is text blurrier than my phone or iPad? Yes. I can notice it if I pay attention and look at it but it doesn't bother me and I think it still looks great.. another person would see the density and never unsee the less than perfectly crisp text.

Yes that 49" Samsung G9 is the best monitor out there. You can nicely fit 3 windows next to each other. Sometimes I will even do a 2:1:2 split With docs, terminal, code, preview, devtools Sometimes I wish the radius was slightly curved less because I like to sit close to the screen but then It is wider than my field of view. The more shallow version had much worse specs though. Still awesome though. I couldn't believe they had them on sale for $800 \~2 years ago. PS the 55" ARK and the new one look interesting as well but I don't know about the aspect ratio. They are closer to a TV panel.

Exactly what I think. There is so much room for activities.

I have a MacBook Air M3 and I use it with my Samsung G9 49inch monitor by connecting it from USB-C to DisplayPort and it works like a charm. Warning: not every cable works with the M3 chip so be aware to buy a good one. Tip: install the free program called Loop for your window management.

I second this. I use the same set up and essentially split the screen into 3 monitors. As my main layout I have the main center area take up about ~40% and the side areas take up ~30% each. Fancy zones also lets you have different layouts so the percent values actually change depending on what I’m doing but generally I have it as described above. Side note for OP, gaming can be wonky on a 49 inch ultra wide

I have a Samsung 49" wide, curved, gaming monitor (5120 x 1440) I also use for work. With Windows PowerToys Fancy Zones, it's a great way to lay out windows.

49” Samsung odyssey

I have a mac mini M1 on a 49" 5120x1440 monitor and i am never going back.

It's not tall, it is just really really \*really\* wide (whole width of my desk), which is amazing for how I work. Would not work well as a TV at all ;)

I have a Samsung 49" 5120x1440. Ryzen 5800X3D, 32GB DDR4. I used to have a 2080ti which could get 60-100FPS in space, 30-40 FPS on the ground. A mix of settings per the guidance from the nVidia GeForce Experience app. I upgraded to a 4080 and am now locked at 120FPS in space, and 60-75FPS on the ground. Weirdly, when on the ground and not hitting the 120FPS cap, none of my components are bottlenecked in any way (I'm running an Aida64 sensor panel on another screen). GPU Power, RAM, frequency, VRAM, utilisation, all well below max. No CPU thread more than 25-30%. I don't know why it can't run at the full locked FPS.

my current desk is 55.1" x 23.6", a bit off from your dimensions i used to run dual 32" for content consumption and gaming(both console and PC), i did run dual monitor arms for the displays and to me it didn't feel like they both were too wide for my desk with them going over a bit on each side. gaming and web browsing were the priority for that setup. next setup was with an 49" Samsung(for gaming and productivity), the dual 32s' mounted to the wall atop the 49" were for things like discord, emails and web browsing. though i enjoyed all the screen real estate, it didn't last long and thoughts of sizing down became paramount. i thought "how about" an single 34" but having 32" displays it didn't feel right, then i thought 45" LG Ultragear OLED but after owning the 49" (to me) that was still a tad bit wide for what i wanted. i ended up with an newly purchased(earlier this month) 39" LG Ultragear OLED. FOR ME it checks all the things i was looking for as far as size, specs and use. I use it for photo/video editing via my new mac mini m4 and def for FPS gaming(again console and PC). HDR when gaming has been an eye opener and game changer on this display. in my opinion, the 39" compliments MY desk's dimensions. On an monitor arm and positioned directly in the middle of the desk at arms length. haha, sorry for the looong read. good luck with whatever you decide.

This company started off making high end portable oled monitors, I used to have one. This particular one is just the samsung 49" panel with their electronics powering it. Should be reliable.

I use a 49 inch samsung monitor. For regular gaming: its great and very immersive. Games that support it look great. Mechwarrior with it looks great because you really feel like youre in the cockpit. Downside of having such a big monitor is that the UI sometimes goes to the very sides of the screen, which is really annoying when you need to see the data on the screen. It makes you move your eyes off the center where the main focus should be. Some games like armoed core 6 actually centered the UI towards the midde instead of having the HUD on the edges. It was a great surprise when i was playing it. Also, some games dont support the full resolution and will give you black bars on the side. Examples that come to mind is Street Fighter and Diablo 4. As for sim racing, its very immersive but you still dont get the complete FOV triples would get you. Another trade off is the verticle height of the monitor. Ultrawides are usually wider, but not taller. Taller monitors can give you a little more distance in the window, a better view of the approaching hill. If that makes any sense…. However, the good thing is, its only 1 monitor to run. So not too bad on performance. Easy to set up and takes less space than triples would. Personally, if i had a massive amount of space, i would build a dedicated sim rig with a triple screen set up. But for now, i use my 49inch with a wheelstand on my desk, sonce thats all the space i have. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions!

I've played it on both my Gigabyte 34" screen, as well as my Samsung 49" display. It's absolutely glorious to look at.

I have an Ultrawide curved 49in Samsung monitor and it’s awesome.

2 different 49" samsung models both died on me in about a year. Would not recommend, neither was 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.

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.

Got Samsung 49” monster, 1080p. It’s pretty good, I haven’t really encountered any problematic games aside from Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro. And even those can be fixed via open source software. Surprisingly, all Resident evils, ( even RE5 ) are supporting the resolution. Can’t even imagine playing on anything else anymore. CS 2 is a bit of a wreck though

The only disadvantage is it’s heavy asf, and due to my table being from IKEA, can’t mount it with arm in fear of table giving in to pressure. Also the leg basically takes up the whole table

why not both? i have the samsungs 49in monitor next to my gigabyte 27in

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.

We have the 49” Samsung and love it.

I built a setup just like this and when I put it together I realized it was terrible. Returned the TV and got a 49" ultrawide Samsung instead, much happier with it

I ran a 49 Samsung and a 43 Samsung side by side. The curvature allows a lot more for your eyes to take in. I like being able to see a wider field of view in FPS games. Diablo 3/4 are also a lot of fun when you can see what would normally be off screen. https://preview.redd.it/obe5ikwbhmid1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65c17f44122b2d6e3f68b865079f367abf30a202

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.

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

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.
