People talking about the stretching on the corners, I don't get it. I own this monitor and never see it. I don't stretch to fit either which is absurd if you do. If a game don't support 32:9 the monitor supports the other ratios also. So what if you get the black bars on the side. You still get the awesome quality and if you turn off the lights, you don't even notice it. Famous saying I always use instead of focusing on the negative that fits here. It's better to have the option of 32:9 when you can use it instead of not having it when you can use it. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Maybe it's just me. But backbars do not distract me. I feel like I got multiple monitors in 1 and the picture quality is the best I've ever seen. 240hz is just gravy but nice.
I've tried lowering my fov down in some games to fix any "stretching" issues. I used to turn it up to 90° in most games playing on 16:9 if i can. Doing this in Sons of the Forest, for example, stretches the hell out if the sides and corners with this monitor. Almost fish eye like. Turning it to the default 80° reduces that a lot but you are still getting the better deal with more screen space anyway. Have not tested with a lot of games since I've only had it a couple of weeks now, but this might be the solution to that issue in some games. Especially if they can drop fov below default settings meant for traditional 16:9. @chy.0190
Might be the game then. Elden ring and diablo 3 does not do this. Forza 5 and cyberpunk 2077 don't either. I wonder if it's games that support 21:9 but not 32:9 and stretching to fit. Either way.. it's not the monitor it's the game itself. Super ultra wide is a niche anyway.
On 3 27" 1440p monitors atm. I use all three for productivity during the day as well. I'm really used to that amount of screen space, trying to get an idea if I should grab one of these and see if I can use 3 windows and see if them being a little smaller in width would be ok. Or maybe spend a bit more and get something 2160p, I can't run games at 4k ultra but I plan on building a new pc at the end of the year that will.
@@sneaksz1 I use the multiple window setup often for productivity. Love it. And it has the pixel density of 4k as I recall. So 4k without 4k? Great monitor. Especially if on sale!
I know this is an older video now, but I wanted to say that this is one of the best video gaming experiences I have ever had. And I've been gaming my entire life as far back as I can remember. I have had an LG C1 for several years to game in 4k. I recently got this thing , and I am blown away. I like VR, don't get me wrong, but this is better for longer gaming sessions, and you still get that similar immersiveness with the 32:9 aspect ratio. Don't even notice the curve while gaming. Paired with an eye tracker for certain games, and you might as well be there. Not for everyone and not for every game, but if you are like me, and gaming is life, it is a life-changing experience, and this monitor is for you. If you can pick it up on sale, like I did, do it.
Hey, I wanna jump in real quick and share my experience with this monitor. I bought it a few months ago and I've been using it since. In your review you shared mostly the positives of the product, so I'm going to start with some negatives: 1) DEAD PIXELS: First of all, after I set it on my desk for the first time and started using it, and I'm not kidding, 15 minutes after it was turned on for the first time, a vertical line of dead pixels apeared on the center of the screen. What that meant for me was to put it back in the box after literally 15 minutes of working time and send it back to service for a few weeks to get it fixed. Now, I'm not saying that will happen to you, but it happened to me, so I'm sharing it. 2) BUBBLES: 2 months after I bought it small bubbles started to form on the panel which are visible when the screen is black / turned off. Now for a screen that I paid $1800 for, that's unacceptable. I am currently using it the way it is, just because I work on it and having to bring it to service AGAIN means that I have to go back to my old 2 x 16:9 monitor setup and completely mess up my productivity. 3) GAMING MODE: 240Hz works only when "Gaming Mode" is enabled from the menu. If it's not enabled the monitor stays at 120Hz. Now you're gonna say, "just turn it on", but that comes with an annoying issue. The way this monitor works is that 240Hz will work only on full screen games where it does some sort of fullscreen optimizaion. If you want to Alt+Tab to discord or your browser or whatever, this becomes a huge pain in the ass. The monitor will start to flicker, the transitions are super slow and sometimes the don't even work. So you find yourself stuck in a black screen until the game just crashes or by some miracle pulls through. That issue really escalates when you try to open application like Viber, which for some reason is considered as an application that has to work in full screen, so every time you open an image in Viber the screen starts to flicker. So basically I am currently using the monitor in 120Hz for 90% of the time, and I'm turning "Gaming Mode" on only when I play Counter Strike, or some other competitive game. 4) FONT ISSUE: There is a green undertone on all characters when you open a block of text on WINDOWS 10. That's why I decided to proceed with installing Windows 11 on my PC to eliminate this issue. I belive it's some sort of a driver thingy, because the G9 OLED has some new way of stacking pixels and it translates to this. 5) OVERALL REVIEW: As a game developer I'm using game engines all the time. Game Engines use a lot of space on your screen. That's the main reason that I bought this monitor for. I am happy that I did, because apart from the reliability issues this monitor has been treating me good. The colors are great, the real estate is amazing, the simplistic design of the product fits really well on my desk, it's great for gaming and productivity apps like the Adobe stack, Visual studio and Unreal Engine. If you consider buying this monitor I suggest you extend your warrenty, because there is a high chance that you're gonna need it. Ask me any questions if you want more details. Cheers!
Thank you for taking your time to write this review of yours on here, i've been curious to buy this screen, sadly it doesn't have G sync, but i was thinking i'd stil buy it, and i think i'll just look more for another screen :)
I'm currently on a CRG9 which caps at 120Hz and has been super reliable. The fact that there's flicker when switching between apps is a total turn off. Why aren't reviewers talking about this!?
Still rocking my 48 inch cx. I have a big desk and it works well. I sometimes run it at 3840 x 1600 with no issues (black bars are a minor issue when it is oled). Glad oled has come down in price and we have more options now. I remember when the cx was one of the only options.
Same here! Cx still running strong with no burn-in. I've been toying with the idea of this g9, but I just don't know if I could take advantage of that aspect ratio (or even like it).
OLED monitors usually can go for 6-8 years without Burn in's, however, QD-OLED's can last longer due to the 2nd gen of OLED technology and the resistances to the burn in issues.@@evensen007
Know this is five months old, but I had odyssey neo g9 49 inch monitor and I lost it in a house fire. I did everything with that monitor such as gaming, school work, and video content. I got an 32 inch monitor and I just don’t enjoy it as much as the 49 inch monitors.
I was VERY close to buying one of the new 31" QD-OLED 3rd gen displays, but decided against it since the ultrawides can take the place of a 2nd monitor which I want. I'm still waiting for samgsung or somebody to release an OLED in 49" with the full 2160 resolution and DP 2.0.
@@squirrelsinjacket1804 I decided to buy a 49 inch Samsung odyssey g9. It’s been great so far, but I want to upgrade to the newest version of the neo g9.
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching. I wanted to jump in here and clarify a point about Multi View that I wasn't clear about. Samsung says you can use two sources for Multi View for a picture-by-picture setup, but it will disable HDR and run both sources at 120Hz instead of the full 240Hz. A little piece of nuance I didn't touch on in the video.
I have two 32" 4k monitors side by side. It is a bit tall, but everything else is great for a large screen real estate watching lots of data. The ultra wide screens are weird and not tall enough, unless you have games or movies made for that very format . All in all there does not seem to be any perfect monitor for varied use cases.
I want OLED but I do not think its ready for me yet since I do mostly work from home productivity, photo editing, etc so I look at a lot of text and have a lot of static images. I am not going to make my workflow suffer to protect the screen so I decided to get the Neo. But I have a 27+34+27 setup now and I would never replace my triple monitor setup with a single 32:9 monitor and basically lose an entire monitor of space, so while the price is not as good as the current sale of the 49" G9 I got the 57" G9 for the dual 4K experience. This way my realestate does not suffer and I can finally "upgrade" to 4K. Super sharp text, more immersion, etc. I also picked up 3x of the 32" G8's I did traditional 3x monitor setups for a very long time and always loved it for productivity and games, bezels never bothered me when gaming, and having dedicated screens to full screen games/applications, etc to is really nice. I am just a bit worried about fitting 3x 32" on my desk, and gaming performance at 3x 4K. So I'll have to test scaling the resolution down to say 1440P and see how it looks on the 4K screens, or perhaps just use the 57" where dual 4K while still demanding is much more doable. I have to alwasy have an odd number of monitors on my base layer I cant be looking directly at a bezel and have to look left/right all day to work so while the 57" is two 4K monitors I can make it work, but I'll still need atleast one monitor above it for when things need a dedicated monitor due to how some applications work.
you won't to be that happy when you see what happens on windows, the dotpicht of font and icon is terrible on definition... OLED and windows icons and fonts it's not ATM the best solution. ONLY in playing the OLED make difference, but if you use that monitor for work, that's means you eyes burn in 10 minutes. (tested my G9 Gsync VS that G9 OLED)
Had an original Odyssey G9, went back to 21:9 due to every 3d game being stretched on edges at 32:9 regardless of fov. You can clearly see this in gameplay videos, it gets very annoying after a while. 21:9 with higher fovs has less problems.
While I know what you're talking about, I personally find the stretch right on the edges to not matter much - if I focus on the centre of the screen and let the edges fill my periphery I can't notice it at all. I only notice it if I go and deliberately focus on it. I love the 32:9, especially for games like bannerlord, tarkov and baldurs gate 3.
I just couldn't get over the stretching on the edges. Not much of a point of having that much screen if the edges are distorted. If this wasn't the case would be perfect. I honestly wish 24:9 aspect ration monitors were a thing because there is no stretching up to that aspect ratio.@@miiiiiiiiiiick
The stretching is pretty much the same on all 3d games I ever tried it on, there is pretty much no game that is programmed correctly for 32:9 FULL support without any kind of stretching on the edges sadly. I went back to 21:9 because of this@@davidkatsmam
I think for 1000-1300$, this is an excellent monitor, especially with the built in smart TV features. As long as it doesn't break within 2 years of use!
excellent review...One of the best on this monitor. I'm trying to decide if I want to move into a new home to fit the 57" version of this, or I just stay put and fit this tiny one on my desk!
I used 21:9 for a good bit of years but I got tired of it. Ended up feeling like that extra width was just pointless. I'm very happy that I went back to a 16:9 32".
@@airixxxxdepends on the work. It can be nice for programming, editing, handling a bunch of VMs and so on but many workflows can depend more on vertical space like writing and also programming.
@@Daniel95221 That's true, also most of them are curved that makes them unusable for illustration, architecture or anything that needs no distortion on images. But of course that is not a fault of the aspect ratio but of the specific product.
I have this and its amazing but its true that 32:9 is a rare aspect ration to find content for. One good walkaround is to enable multiview and connect your PC again using a second cable. That is the same as having two 27inch 1440p oled displays which is super nice too.
Hopefully you haven't gotten this question to much but I'm curious since I ordered this monitor hastily. Am I able to run my Mac Pro and my work laptop using the DisplayPort and HDMI cables? From what I read the input can be changed to have the full screen size for both inputs. I saw another video that said you could not switch inputs for full screen use which made no sense to me given how people use monitors now a days. I appreciate your input.
Great review! I think the deal breaker for me is the compability problem with some games with the wide screen. And the hassle to start investigate whether some game support that or not.
I have had no issues. Games that arent ultrawide just have black bars. Still the high contrast, inky blacks and vibrant colors. And the immersion with ultrawide games? Brilliant.
You bring up the specs, but you're missing out on mentioning that unlike the samsung G9 neo which had a VRR range of 94hz-> 240 hz and having games dipping in and out of that range causing LFC to trigger and untrigger caused hiccups, is the new improved VRR range on the G9 g95sc, at 48hz -> 240hz meaning that only if if you dip below 48hz(48fps) will LFC trigger which is something you can much easier control rather than having to lock a majority of games at 80fps :) to me it's a major selling point of this display above prior generations of G9's that almost nobody seem to mention.
Just bought my G9 for 1199 it's the one with no smart hub features. Can't wait to try it out with my RTX 4090. Is it true that you have to disable/turn off Windows HDR in order to use game HDR on the monitor?
Curious how your experience has been so far with it? Any issues with overheating and shutting down? Text clarity okay? They are $1200 on amazon right now and I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one.
@@CajunJosh I sent it back, I actually didn't like the 32:9 aspect ratio. 21:9 is the sweet spot. Hopefully one of these companies comes out with a 21:9 38' 1600p QD-OLED monitor.
Almost ordered the g8 (21:9 version of this monitor) but after talking to samsung support here in Canada im going with Dells version. Apparently in Canada it's still limited to 1 year warranty with no burn in coverage despite being extended to 3 years and covering burn in in the US and a lot of other countries from what I've seen. They still don't explicitely mention warranty length until you register your product and never explicitly mention burn in coverage. They REALLY need to get their shit together when it comes to support. That's coming from a happy s95b user.
Idk. I'm looking at the G9 in the US and only see a 1 year limited warranty so it might not be exclusive to Canada. Makes me doubt their quality a little bit tbh
Its absolutely not a bigger version of just the G8; it's a far better panel, that concludes better brightness and - most importantly - a life expectancy factor of 2x!
You can turn off the bars in excel. This is a non-issue. The monitor also pixel shifts and does auto-maintenance every 4 hours and when you turn it off. Not mentioned in this video, but it's in the documentation for the monitor.
I love the screen real estate but it’s way too big for me. I don’t think I’ll ever move up to that size it’s to big. I love my 3440x1440 screen size. I assume that’s the sweet spot for most.
I used to have the original 32:9 G9 and did the same, I got the 45" LG OLED and just ramp up the fov higher in games, and I don't get stretching on the edges like I did with the G9
Can I play QHD say on left side and use right side for something else? DO games detect this left side as main screen at QHD res and it can be used smoothly and seamlessly or does it give headaches with configuration? I want dual screen experience in one monitor without any issues.
@@anonymous8780 I know. I think when you said original G9, there was simply a loss in a translation, I have CRG9, I still consider it G9 hence the G9 in the model name :).
Been watching your videos for weeks trying to decide which new 75” to buy. Question.. I watch a lot of Netflix and most content is in Dolby Vision. I was thinking of a Samsung but it’s my understanding that if you’re streaming a Dolby vision movie on Netflix, that doesn’t have the HDR 10 bass layer, the content will be in SDR. Is this true? If so I can’t do Samsung….
I have a Samsung 90B 85inch & Samsung only supports HDR 10 & HDR 10+ & Samsung DOES NOT SUPPORT DOLBY VISION PERIOD. I personally can not see a difference between HDR 10/10+ & Dolby Vision when the Best Buy employees we’re showing both formats on Sony, LG, Hinsense, TCL & Samsung sets…THEY ALL LOOKED GREAT TO MY EYES😂😂😂😂 but I have Samsun Phone, Watch & now TV so I’m very bias to Samsung…but DOLBY VISION will not be supported on a Samsung TV no matter what format you use, be it (NETFLIX OR APPLE TV) Dolby Vision will not be displayed on those Samsung Sets….hope this helps
so is this the succesor of the g9 57 inch one with that huge curve or is this a model up or down in the range ? wich one has the better graphix quality ?
I returned mine to best buy after 10 days later night. Honestly, it’s just too big and when playing league of legends on windows 11 and you unlock your camera to look down, the taskbar comes up. Windows 11 removed the ability to put your taskbar on left or right side of the screen. The colors and brightness were great. Good monitor for sure but 😅 back to dual 32” for me.
I found two vertical bands near the edge of the frame and I would prefer not to have them if I'm honest. what about compensation cycles? Is it like the LG monitors that improve after several cycles every 4 hours? 2:05
I play Escape from Tarkov, Bannerlord, and Baldurs Gate 3 on it without issue. It's bloody amazing. Starfield - haven't played it yet but there's a mod to enable the correct aspect ratio (all skyrim/fallout games needed the same thing). That's all I've really tried to date, but I believe anything older needs to be played in windowed mode or whatever.
Can someone help me choose? I’m really stuck between getting this or LG’s 49inch IPS panel primarily for video editing, 3D rendering and Lightroom. I know IPS panel is renown for creative work but this gorgeous OLED contrast is so tempting
I do a ton of work for my teaching job on my home pc. So i'm making powerpoints, editing word documents and watching videos all at the same time. Would I need to worry about burn in on a monitor like this? Otherwise this is VERY tempting.
I find it absurd how tech reviewers will suggest you use a PC over TV apps for streaming... You guys were supposed to know tech, you guys should know that most streaming services will cap streaming on a PC to 720p with VERY cramped bitrates and it just looks absolutely awful, especially on an OLED. Yes, native apps please, yes, more smart monitors please, and ones with better audio output options so maybe we can hook up nice speakers to them
if you own a hdr capable display id suggest using stremio+torrentio+real debrid and then watching in VLC. literally replaces every streaming service and lets you stream 4k blurays instantly. dont know why reviewers are watching shit from the browser 😭
I think 21:9 is as far as I'm willing to go, unfortunately. These 32:9 monitors seem like a neat novelty but unless you want to mod half your games to run on it and deal with all the problems that come from that....eh. Hell, as a JRPG fan, I already have to deal with a lot of games that don't support 21:9 because Japan seems utterly unwillingly to get with the times.
as someone how has used the g9 for many years.. its def not a novelty. Im actully upgrading to the oled as of day (was just checking reviews) its insanly useful - with windows power toys making many window zones.. its f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c
@@molster1234this....I have the neo g9 but decided not to "upgrade" to OLED g9 due to the 1800R curve. Since you are on the non neo g9 which share the same curvature as mine...I would suggest you check it out in store to see if it's a deal breaker for you. It was a HUGE upgrade for me coming originally from the CRG9 to neo g9... specifically in the curvature and the blooming blacks.
bullshit. I own it for about 3 years, 90% of games support the resolution and after playing on 32:9 I would never go back to anything else , a reason I have not switched to standard 4k yet is ,because of shitty box 16:9 aspect ratio, I pick this all day long over 4k res , needless to say 5120x1440 is darn close to 4k pixel density.
in fact, I was waiting for the release of the 57 G9, but as practice has shown, there are a lot of defects, and I did not take risks, I wonder if there will ever be a version of the 57 Oled, by the way, it is the size of a light business jet windshield, and in fact, the 57 Oled would be the best solution for experience in mfs2020
i want one so bad but i can't justify the purchase. i play counterstrike, and already own a projector for movies. if i ever get addicted to a new mmorpg i would buy something like this. i use VR for racing games.
Next year I hope they start adding more vertical space. On a monitor this big 1440p is barely enough. 5k by 2k (which isn't 1440p btw) monitors exist. Please bump up that resolution Samsung.
Hi, is text sharpness a problem on this monitor? I would use it 65/35% work to game ratio and seeing multiple reports regarding text clarity puts me off. I would really appreciate the answer
yes, oled it's terrible on windows use atm.. i've been tested my G9 Gsync VS that G9 OLED and only when you play, you are ok, but on windows, you can burn your eyes in 10 minutes use.
G9 is great but the res it comes in is just not ideal. No one can effectivly use this much screen daily. They really missed the chance for a 38Inch 3840x1600
If you're talking about the Mini LED 32" neo g8 4k 240 hz. I definitely would look elsewhere. I have this monitor and I can only use it at 120hz due to scan line issues at 240hz.
My G9 Oleg didn’t include the Samsung Tv functionality nor did it come with the White controller, was later notified by Samsung Support that it’s not included in the G9 Oled.
I'm a trader and I wanted to buy this monitor Instead of its brother, the "VA panel" Odyssey G9 for its overall better picture and dark colors quality due to the time I spend on charts... but I read something about the WRGB technology which causes the hard edges on screen to show red and green pixels... does it go for this monitor as well?
Loving the monitor when it works. I get so many bugs and flickering over displayport that it’s barely usable. Will be returning it if Hdmi 2.1 doesn’t fix.
I just posted above, but I have flickering issues too - only in 240hz mode, pulsing and flickering with menu screens and other dark background areas, only fix for mine is to go back to 120hz mode or put up with it... second is a glitch similar to how Glitch works in Wreck it Ralph- the whole image glitches, moves left, and then back again. Onjly fix is to turn it off and leave it for a bit and then turn it back on and hope for the best. Waiting for a refund.
I want 2; second to sit above for movies and other information available whilst in-game. Problem is I'm not sure I can get a arm long long enough to support that
Have fun running games at 7680x2160 even with the best hardware. You'd have to upgrade your gpu every gen just to barely keep up and get 60fps in things.
Hello, I am using nvidia rtx 4060Ti graphics card in my msi computer. Do I need to make any additional settings to use 240hz value on this monitor? Or can I use 240hz value directly when I connect it to the computer with cables? Thanks.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 for $1,799.99 or an LG C1 55" OLED fir $749.99 at Microcenter right now. Stop giving Samsung money since their pricing is stupid.
I actually bought a 55" OLED to try and use it as a monitor back in 2019... I still have it, but I've never used it as a monitor. It's too big for my desk. This form factor just works for a lot more people.
I don't have a powerful enough pc to play pc games on this but i bought this to web browse whichworks great and watch 4k blu-rays on my panasonic 4k player looks awesome even if there are some black bars on the top and bottom it feels like im watching it in a movie theatre cause of the ultrawide and it does fit the whole screen at 32.9 now there are alot of movies that i have blu-ray dvd or 4k blu-rays that are full screen that fit the whole screen with no black boarders for widescreen like the avatar movies in 4k just wow but this monitor is great for 4k blu-rays to i also tested out my favorite tv show on blu-ray smallville it fills thw whole screen and doesn't look weird like the ps5 yea the ps5 is made for tvs not for ultrawide on this monitor but yes like in the video for gaming stick to pc but back to my show smallville on blu-ray i couldnt believe how great it looked on this so vivid in picture and color and i had it in movie mode this does look better then my lg c1 oled tv for watching movies on my 4k player, so i yes i just use it for browsing the web and 4k movie watching on my player thru this and watching stuff on apps sometimes which lok great at nightime.
Hey might looked stretched out but they don't look that horrible and they play in 4k and i watch it from a distance far enough away they look find the movies look better on this monitor then a regular tv i would know cause i own the monitor now when i do watch it on my 4k player none of the picute is cut off or missing and thats what matters ps5 games if u want to look that really strtch out its console gaming watching movies on a 4k player isnt as bad. @@AppIeOfficial
Yes its stretched out but i can to watch 4k on it ive tested it out thru a 4k blu-ray movie and still looks in 4k nothing looks chopped out either and the 4k option is available on the apps on this monitor to, the only thing to me that does't loo to great which is really stretch out if u play it this way are ps5 games but movies don't look that bad to me and they look better on thiis monitor then my oled tv cause of the 32.9 ultrawide which is like in the theatre.@@cjlsniper
Can you use two DP or HDMI and DP out from the PC into this so you can essentially run it as a dual monitor set up? I'm interested in this to play 32:9 in supported games and then switch to dual output so I can have borderless full screen games on one side and twitch on the other.
32:10 would be better :) I am currently using a triple 27 monitor setup and would love to get myself one or three OLEDs... BUT the subpixel-layout and poor result in text clarity seems to be a complete dealbreaker. As long as they are not able to fix the text problem... all OLEDs are not usable for work.... or am i wrong?
Can you connect bluetooth speakers to this monitor and play all audio through the speakers? For example if I have a ps5 plugged into the HDMI and connect this monitor to bluetooth speakers, will the PS5 sound come through the speakers?
The G9 has a terrible issue with scanlines at 240hz. Many people report this about their unit, mine included. I wish I knew how bad it was before purchasing mine. I don't think I'll buy another Samsung monitor for a while.
i pulled the triger on buying this monitor and got it for 1199$ base price but spent 1300$ for the protection plan becuase im a very clumsy person sometimes
I really want this monitor but I'm also REALLY concerned about burn-in since I'm mainly on a browser and Outlook for most of the day for work with a few hours of gaming/movies/other media. I think I'd be fine if burn-in started being noticeable after 5 years which by then hopefully newer tech will be out but I've read stories of burn in happening within a much shorter time period. I dont know if I trust myself to keep up with burn in prevention manual habits after a certain time. Help me choose!
I have a question about the Smart Monitor-ness of this. Does the built in apps allow for full screen movie watching with HDR? So weird question, but my Alienware AW3423DW is a dream in terms of image quality. It is beautiful and I love it. But trying to watch 21:9 native movies or tv shows is sometimes painful. Some apps/streaming sites don’t allow HDR in PC, some have black bars on the top and the bottom and then black bars on the sides with 21:9 content. It can be painful, and it is somewhat annoying that my fancy monitor can’t play my favorite movies in max res and HDR. Does the fact that the Smart Monitor features are built in makes it so that these issues are adressed?
You have to realize that the source material is rendered in a specific resolution and aspect ration when it comes to movies, and it's not a game that can just change it's FOV and scale interface to make it fit on 32:9 With movies it's not that easy. If you want to watch movies, get a 16:9 TV.
Have you gamed for hours on end on a modern Oled screen and had it suffer burn in? Or are you back seat fear mongering? It's one thing to say this is my experience. It's another to just speculate.
With the monitor attached to the included stand and at its highest height, what is the clearance from the bottom of the monitor to the desktop? I have speakers that stand 11 1/2 inches and want to make sure they would fit underneath.
All tech and features are okay. When companies are going to make X:10 ratio monitors a norm? That makes a huge impact on real state. It increases productivity without being massive and intrusive like 42" "monitors".
If you want more vertical screen real estate, get a 16:9 or a big 21:9 monitor. 21:9 monitors also exist in 35, 38 and 45 inch, which means more vertical space. X:10 ratio would just make everything more complicated for no reason.
Yea, thats why I went with the 4k version of the Lenovo ThinkVision P40w-20 which is 40" but larger for actually doing work. It's not a gaming monitor at all but its great for productivity.
I am currently running the ASUS ROG Swift 41.5” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor (PG42UQ) - UHD (3840 x 2160), 138Hz, 0.1ms, and i am looking into this samsung monitor right now. I am trying to decide if i want to keep this Asus monitorr for switch to this samsung monitor. They score about the same in some area's with this Samsung monitor scoring only 1-3% better in most cases.
I don't get why they put a number on the contrast "ratio" as with oled it is truly infinite. If you mess up the settings and allow a raised black floor, even ever so slightly, you get a finite contrast ratio, and consequently the image looks washed out.
"Same monitor, same settings as yours. I have a 4080, but my monitor loses signal and I see a black screen! The issue was the game mode. Do you have any issues? When you close games, or if you want to go into the BIOS?"
I'm considering this monitor, but I need to know can I choose to play all my games in 16:9 or will I encounter games that just won't work on this monitor?
I have two issues with this monitor (or at least, my panel): 1) Intermittently, it flickers back and forth very quickly, every 30 to 60 seconds. Like Glitch out of wreck it ralph. Only fix is to turn it off, leave it off for a bit, then turn it back on. 2) in 240hz mode, game menu's flicker and pulse annoyingly - Examples in Escape from Tarkov and Bannerlord - any black screen background. Weirdly it does not happen in the actual game - just the menu's or user interface sections - load screens as well. Completely stops in 120hz mode. Waiting for a refund, with the intention of getting the 57inch, but now doubting that idea and probably should just switch for a new one. Other than that it is freaking amazing.
The game menus and loading screens flickering is most likely due to having gsync or freesync on which happens on all oleds. Happens on my c3 with gsync on but is fine with it off.
@@miiiiiiiiiiick also as for the screen flickering back and forth, what you might be seeing is pixel shifting which oleds have to prevent burn in. You can toggle it on and off in the settings menu and when you do you’ll see the screen shift. Best to keep it on though.
Yes its second generation, i own it. The oled pixel layout is different than on Dell 34" example. It has better text clarity than older panel. Reason i bought this as its good enough now.
