RUclips creators are not all professionals, a common thing many of us have forgotten. They are mostly sales people giving a review. The monitor market is a good place to confuse others. Honestly the G7 32 inch from Samsung does allot compared to most Uber expensive monitors. The OLEDs though do look impressive but I notice no difference in performance compared to other monitors except for brightness.
@@alexsp7086 ok admittedly getting it setup properly on windows 11 is borderline a nightmare as you need several external tools but the BEAUTY of 32:9 is that you can put your forced 16x9 game in windowed mode, and still have room for youtube and discord to the right and to the left of it, with a 21:9 the space to right / left is too small to feel meaningful hence you just live with the black borders, but the extra space, ultimately if used right turns your 16x9 gaming into a tripple monitor setup. but yes on windows 11 will you be needing a lot of extra tools to not fight the startbar all the time, on windows10/ Linux KDE this isn't a problem at all. so I will agree with @chielscape 32:9 is a massive selling point even if you don't use it for professional coding/artsy work
Samsung is having problems with reliability, quality, service and functionality for the last 25 years. Samsung TV, mobile, UHD, BluRay … tried em all and utter crap! Especially the first Plasma that I purchased … constantly in repairs!
Yeah, this guy sounds like he's never used a 1440p monitor before. They're the perfect sweetspot between clarity and performance. Until I upgraded to a 4090, I had to set most games to 1440p on my living room PC while it was running on a 4k screen using a 3090. 1440 vertical is perfect for the next couple of generations.
@@ShrlyTmpl Agreed, I've been using a mix of 4k, 5120x1440, 3440x1440 and 1440p monitors for years. The sweet spot is 3440x1440 and 1440p, and I have no idea what he's talking about when it comes to 3440x1440 not being supported, its been over 5 years since I've had a single issue excluding competitive games that won't let you get an FOV advantage, so you have to use black bars. 5120x1440 you sometimes run into scaling issues, but if your looking to drop 2K+ on a monitor like that, you likely have a use case for it. Say hybrid work and gaming. I've settled on a 48" 4k OLED with 2 1440p 32"s above it and my old 3440x1440 vertical down the side. At work I have a 5120x1440 and 2 1440p 32"s above it. Productivity to the moon!
@@ShrlyTmpl the thing is 5120 x 1440 is very demanding, it has 88% pixel count of 4k. so the perf is not that much better. you essentially need top end gpus to use it.
I am interested in a 32:9 display but might jump on the QLED version because it is far cheaper than the OLED. I already have a LG OLED 120hz 16:9. Do you think the 240hz QLED version would be a downgrade for me? Or wait a long time for this one to come down? Any help would be much apprecieated.
I came into this video thinking there was something wrong with the monitor based off title but to discredit it because of aspect ratio is wrong. I have the original Neo g9 and it was a fantastic upgrade over my 21:9 LG I had before. I play FF14 and 32:9 is a dream for it. Yea 16:9 games like Street Fighter 6 for instance only utilize the center of the monitor but thats ok as long as you know what you are getting yourself into. The only issue that worried me was burn in and my 4 year old OLED tv still hasn't had any issue with it. So I have faith in this newer tech. Goodbye Neo G9 and hello OLED :)
Yeah me too. I have been using current 34" UW 1440p monitor for various games like MMORPG, ARPG, racing, single player RPG, action games, platform, they all are fine.
Yeah, this guy is a dumbass - I've got one, and it's AMAZING! No compatibility issues like stated, the features are endless, it's a SMART monitor (IoT) and can be controlled by either a remote that comes with it, or your cell phone if you intsall the smart things app.
hello thanks for your comment can you state why? LS49CG954ENXZA is this the same i see the last digits are diffferent is there a difference you can explain? thank you again
@@greenmachine816 Samsung uses 2 types of model numbers: 'Model' and 'Model Code'. The one you are showing is a 'model code' number, which differs depending on country, NOT the actual model itself, the only difference is generally manuals and information that comes with the product. The 'Model' number is what you are after, in this case there are two models with the same specs but with or without Smart TV app: The 'S49CG95' (+ smart TV app), and 'S49CG93' (without smart TV app). More commonly known as G95SC and G93SC.
For real. Bro is actually in disbelief that there are people who do like 32:9. If people are looking to buy this monitor, oh I don't know, it's probably because they *ARE* looking into getting a 32:9 display.
I asked for this. I've been using 32:9 for a long time. I play some games in 32:9, some in 21:9, and others in 16:9. I Use software to split the monitor into smaller monitors for other resolutions. The only thing I've wanted is an OLED version, and this is it. Not all games do support it, but the ones that do are great, and the fact I can split it up is really nice. Also These support PBP so I can have my work computer plugged in, and have it act as a 21:9 monitor, and my actual computer set up on a smaller 11:9 section on the side so I can work on them side by side. I can also set them to both be 16:9. There are no bezels and its very clean to have a single monitor. I'm perfectly willing to drop $2100 on it.
@@RyouEmerald DisplayFusion lets you split them as separate monitors (so you could say put game in that monitor and set it to fullscreen or fullscreen windowed)? Or just locked window sizes?
@@JassiBacha Windows still sees one monitor but programs treat each section as a monitor. For example I have my G9 set up as a 1280x1440, 2560x1440, 1280x1440. So there are 3 sections, with a 16:9 section in the middle. If I set a game to borderless windowed it will simply slip into the middle section if that is where I had it placed during windowed mode. When I maximize a program it just maximizes into whatever section it is in. Fullscreen games still take up the full screen, and some games don't cooperate right away, and sometimes I have to use the boarderlessgaming software, but overall it works pretty decently.
@@Seriksy No. Stretched occasionally, can usually adjust it via FOV slider. If it's intolerable, there are many ways to play in a different aspect ratio, but this has never happened to me with a single player game. Often you need a ultrawide fix when games don't support it properly. And it's not really little height, except maybe when coming from screens bigger than 27" 16:9 or 34" 21:9
It's 2 1440p monitors side by side with 240hz refresh rate and QD Oled. A single Woled 1440p 240hz monitor is $1000 so I think $2100 is fair for this niche monitor.
32:9 makes more sense to me than 21:9. At least with 32:9 you can split it into two full 16:9 displays for most use and then use the full thing for games that support it. I wish I could get it, but to me I just can't go back from 4K. I have really good eyes and am incredibly sensitive to lower resolutions. With OLED I've noticed I'm also very sensitive to the moire effect which looks a lot like the matte display snow flaking look. Really wish more OLED displays just used a normal sub pixel layout like the Switch OLED does.
Wouldn't the OLED sub pixel layout weirdness be less noticeable at higher resolution monitors? And also apparently it'll look way better when these new Oled sub pixel matrixes get supported by Microsoft Cleartype. Which apparently is in the works. it'll make all the text look normal. Part of why it looks off today is because software or operating systems aren't optimized for it.
@Faine212 well 1440p isn't really that high res for OLED, at least except LG. This issue is Samsung for example uses the pentile layout so there pixels are less defined as each set shares something from another, usually green. Even if they added clear type that still wouldn't fully solve it. And moire from odd sub pixels is in a similar boat. Some people are less sensitive to it than others but when you can see it it looks almost like the anti reflective coating on matte displays, the snow flaked fuzzy look. Again seems to be more an issue with Samsung's displays for a similar reason. It'll still have qualities better than LCDs, but these extra issues wouldn't exist if it just had a standard sub pixel layout like the Switch OLED.
@Faine212 I mean, 16:9 wouldn't change anything. 4K on the other hand would limit these effects from being noticeable. As for why not a standard sub pixel layout, from my understanding its a carry over from mobile displays where cerulean colors wore out faster than others and therefore needed unique sizes.
@@Skylancer727 Well when I said 16:9 I meant as in full 4K pixel per inch and no tomfoolery from marketing as the person in the video mentioned. So if they changed to RGB wouldn't there still be the issue of cerulean colors wearing out faster? Or did the technology improve to the point where it's not needed however they're cutting costs by using an already existing and common manufacturing setup for sub pixels on Oled. Yeah the Switch Oled I remember hearing is the normal sub matrix and it seems to have an incredibly long display life with not much burn-in or artifacts. But maybe the manufacturers currently can't do it that way for much smaller sub pixels A.K.A. higher resolution Oled displays. Just a thought
It's not true that apart from racing games, it's bad. Almost in any game, it looks noticeably better than 21:9 or 16:9. There are some distortions on the edges of the display due to the field of view (FOV), but in reality, you don't pay attention to that problem because those edges are too far away from the eyes. However, it still provides immersion regardless. Very immersive, next to VR (just after it).
Dude, no from software games accept ultrawide, most japanese game ports won't support it so unless you only play competitive games or use it for content creation I don't see the appeal. I prefer a 32 or 27 inch 4k QD OLED high refresh rate in the 16:9 that is a Jack of all trades than the Ultrawide bullshit. That's just my opinion
@@oscarfernandez2127 unless the game artificially prevents you from going with higher aspect ratios, you won't have a problem for most 3d games as they using a transformation matrix that's directly computed from the aspect ratio. Like, there's quite literally 0 works for devs to support the game on different aspect ratios (And UI would also not really be an issue since you only get more horizontal screen size - which doesn't cause great impact on UI look - compared to a 16:9 1440p for example). The only thing to cause issues is if you made a game whose gameplay itself is very centered around 16:9, but from a development perspective there's no extra work. On top of that, I use a 21:9 and while I admitely don't play many games, the ones I did had to issue with 21:9 and if they do, you can just set it to 16:9 anyways and the worst thing you get is vertical black bars on the sides which is very big meh.
I still don’t see much reason to upgrade my LG CX48. Had a G9 before and there’s a noticeable difference in quality between 4k and 1440p. Ultrawide is a neat experience, but not sure it’s worth the price. I will wait for a true 4k ultrawide.
@@cyberneticorganism. Yes it's worth buying, just use a good icc profile and right calibration settings, stock settings are rubbish. It's been amazing for me so far :)
If I had the money I would buy it 100%, without even thinking twice, for me the problem is having to have a super PC for it to make sense to have a monitor like that.
This is such a loaded review hahaha I play plenty of games in 32:9 with no issues and this monitor can split in to two screens to fix that issue for any other game. So many broad assumptions for people when you yourself is the one that has issues.
@@bazz1551 everything seems great except the potential price, but that’s what happens when you’re first in the market w/ a new technology. Complaining that it’s 1440p is a reasonable argument although 1440p has been pretty standard in the ultra wide space. I would be upset if it had a lower horizontal pixel resolution like LG’s 45”, but it’s not so it being a 1440p is fine.
How fucking hard is it for manufacturers to make a 4K 240Hz 16:9/16:10 OLED G-SYNC monitor at a reasonable size like 32" or 27" with a competitive price? smh...
They showed their Gen2 34" at Displayweek with G-sync ultimate! That's probably going to be the best We're going to get for a long time. Who knows how long it will take until a proper 27 inch or 32 inch 16:9. I really don't want ultrawide but for some reason, maybe it's the Mother Glass? They aren't making non Wides
I just bought this monitor and have been playing satisfactory on it - 32:9 is incredible and the game feels more impressive than I ever knew it could be. For $850 this thing is an absolute BARGAIN. The high refresh rate, OLED, color accuracy, and integration with Samsung Smart things (if you have other Samsung products like I do) make this thing a MUST HAVE. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think you're dead wrong on this thing. Does your opinion change if the price is $850 vs the 2k+ you quoted in here?
It’s not a 1440P monitor, it’s two 1440P monitor. I own the old model and occasionally you’ll have issues with games being difficult to get the aspect ratio/resolution to work but when you do get it set up it’s brilliant. Worst case scenario you set your screen to Picture By Picture mode and you can play it in 16:9 if it’s that big of an issue to you. I’ve never had to do it though
its still essentially a 1440p monitor, its 1440p vertically which is the main thing and the horizontal is essentially 2 1440p screens, it's still pretty sharp but def looking forward to the 4k model bc it can make some games look pretty rough when using DLSS
4:10 I'm sorry but I disagree. I have an RTX3070 so running 5160x1440 will be hard enough let alone 7680x2160. If I wanted to run that res at high framerates I would need a 4090 at least and that alone will cost almost twice as much as the screen let alone all the other hardware I need to run a 4090 (beefy power supply, powerful CPU etc). 5160x1440 is plenty for me in 2024. Maybe in 2030 I will think about 7680x2160.
i've been playing eve online with my neo g9 and it's absolutely great. EVE is a game with tons of UI that can be cumbersome on a smaller display, and the game is gorgeous, it is perfect for this monitor. There are a select few games that won't support this aspect ratio, but you do have the option of running those in 16x9 so... it's not like you can't play games on a "traditional" 16x9 resolution.
best part about this monitor is that its been 8 months and this monitor sells for $1400 CAD or roughly $1100 USD. Samsung at its finest..high price for enthusiasts and lower prices for patient gamers
I mean, everyone who's seriously looking at this monitor for their setup knows that it's a rather niche use case. I myself got the neo g9 to replace my old dual monitor setup, and I can effortlessly switch between 32:9 with HDR, 2x 16:9 widescreen PBP or 21:9+11:9 PBP to suit my needs at that particular moment, with just a few button presses. While it does have a few kinks and caveats to be aware of, it's hands down the best darn monitor I've ever owned.
A Super UltraWide is a best of all worlds situation here. It can flawlessly work as a 32:9 monitor, a 21:9 one and a 16:9 one. But the other way around only comes with compromises on the vertical space.
I have the first DQHD 32:9 from samsung. I won't ever buy a monitor with different Ratio. Haven't found games with bad FOV except PUBG which I stopped playing because of this.
I had a 32:9 and just did not enjoy it. So many games has the fish eye effect making me sick. I went back to the regular 16:9 42 LG C2 Oled and its an incredible monitor. Its just as immersive and the increase resolution is so nice. I dont really see why Id spend $2100 on this when you can spend 800 on the 42 inch C2 Oled.
I see your point but you can adjust the resolution to a 3440x1440 in the middle, then having either nothing or tabs on either side. It's very customizable. But then again if you're always setting it to 3440x1440, then a regular 34" is better
It's 2 x 27" 2560x1440 glued together. It's one of the best monitor I ever used I can't go back. Kinda weird your channel is named The Display Guy when you don't sound like someone who knows much about ultrawide displays.
2:04 Dude that is not 1440 p monitor 1440 p monitor has 3 686 400 pixels 4k has 8 302 080 pixels and this Samsung monitor is closer to 4K then 1440p because it has 7 372 800 pixel count about million less then actual 4k monitor but much higher then 1440 p. So how the hell this is 1440p? It just has higher pixels Horizontal pixelk count and lower vertical pixel count. But overall pixel count is far greater then 1440p. So what you said is literal nonsense.
there is NO alternative. smasung will produce only 49 and 34 inch monitor panels for whatever reason. deal and get with 34 i guess - or get lg matte panels (lol) with 27 inch etc. and yes g 9 49 will cost ~2140 dallars can confirm.
A friend of mine just bought this monitor and I've been thinking of upgrading to it for a while as well. I've been using the first gen Odyssey G9 for about two years now and it's good to know that none of your points against the monitor anything specific to this model. 1440p is absolutely fine for 49" (remember this is equivalent to two 27" 16:9 monitors side by side) in my opinion and I don't see a benefit to 4k, especially since desktop apps don't always scale well with 4k (I know from my media PC that's connected to a 4k TV). The only drawback I hear from this is the glossy finish, which while it does mean livelier colors, might mean issues with glaring on my desk, because unfortunately I sit with a window behind me and even with the matte finish, it sometimes reflects and focuses sunlight in my eyes like a parabolic mirror 😅 But even that problem is easily fixed by a white fabric roller blind, which softens the sunlight like a diffuser on a lightbox. The issues with bad widescreen support, zou learn to deal with. Many modern games support it, which is an awesome experience, and the games that don't, you either tinker with to make them work, or you simply play them in their standard resolution. Even the black bars on the Odyssey with an LCD don't distract in a dark room and for the odd game that stretches wide on the display, you can switch to HDMI (mirror mode), which may not suppirt the full refresh rate, but can automatically (and manually, if needed) adjust the display size to the correct aspect ratio. I recommend using two inputs from your GPU anyway, to make use of the great dual-monitor productivity in picture by picture mode.
..it's not 1440p...5120 x 1440 is considered 4K for super ultra wides...it's literally 88.8% the pixel density of 4k 5120 x 1440 = 7.372.800 and 3840 x 2160 = 8.294.400 so the resolution of the monitor is far closer to 4k than it is 1440p. Nearly everywhere will consider this as super ultrawide 4k.
Basically you are saying is, because it's really two 1440p on each side then it looks sharper than if the entire screen was just 1440p, but wouldn't that still be 1440p on each side? Equivalent to Just two 1440p monitors side by side?
@@elliotpolanco159 No, that's not the way it works, you have to look at the actual pixel density. If you look at any outlet they all refer to that resolution as Super Ultrawide 4K because of how hight he pixel density is for it. I know it seems counter intutitive and it SOUNDS like just two 1440p monitors side by side, but it's not. Good question though, I know I somewhat thought the same at one point, till I started looking at the numbers and pixel density, because I was confused on why peopel referened to this resolution as 4K
@@Alphadragon1979 thank you very much for that valuable information because I'm looking into probably buying one. Do you happen to know if the image quality lessens & maintains the 240hz re-refresh rate if i connect my hp spectre x360 laptop to it & use it like that?
@@elliotpolanco159I'm not familiar with that particular laptop, however I can state that connected to my Dell Laptop and my desktop it maintains the 240Hz refresh rate with no loss in image quality. However, if you use the PBP (Picture Beside Picture) then the refresh rate for each section is reduced, I think it reduces down to 120Hz, but I could be mistaken. Hooking your laptop up to the montior should not reduce the refresh rate in the least, but if you're talking about maintaing a certain FPS in a game then that will depend on your comptuer itself, a reduction in graphcis quality may be needed to maintain a steady 240 FPS.
you didn't touch anything about working, if you need 2 displays you can replace them with this one and you won't have frame separator between both! this is not especially the best monitor for gaming but probably one of the best for work
I wish people would go over using this not as just for ultra wide gaming yes some single player titles id like this for but I’d set up to run the game in boarderless window in the center of my screen and have twitch/obs or whatever running on the sides. I want to know how that works out. Then when im doing productivity or watch media I get the benefit of the ultrawide. I can’t be the only one with this thought. Less cables to deal with and all that jazz too.
@@FrowningTaco What do you mean by "misleading"? It is 5120x1440, so yes, it has a vertical resolution of 1440p. Maybe he/she thought that the height is much bigger (like 32" or even more)?
Definitely not misleading. That’s exactly what it is. PPI is nearly meaningless. It will look exactly like a 1440p monitor which will always look significantly worse than 4K no matter what the size is because it’s less than 4 Megapixels vs over 8 Megapixels.
@@thedisplayguy PPI is very important. No, in games the difference 4K vs 1440p is miniscule (Hardware Unboxed, blind tests on LinusTech etc). 4K looks noticeably better for texts, photos. For designers it's better to have 4K, for gamers, no, 1440p (with PPI 110 or higher) is enough.
Is it actually QD-OLED? Samsung is selling it as only "OLED" in their marketing, and the brightness has me thinking it's their new standard OLED tech. Not sure we know the lifespan of their new OLED panels in comparison to LG's and existing QD-OLED. I was really hoping it would be QD-OLED gen2 since burn in is a big deal for me since I'll be using it daily for work too.
So essentially, the video is reviewing game development issues in relation to ultrawide compatibility? Cos ofc not all games are compatible with ultrawide. For others that got here as their first foray into their research, I just treat this as a dual monitor in one since my setup only allows one cable to my desk and the other is hdmi to my tv for gaming. Use Fancy Zones to allocate the correct spaces to utilize all the screen real estate if you don't want to have borders and useless space. Also, I was convinced enough when I looked into a list of games that DO support ultrawide, so at the end of the day, the questions are (1) how to play in 16:9 if possible (yes it is) and (2) are there games I play that support ultrawide (chances are yes there are). So if you're in the market and your desk can fit one, it's a good option to have, especially also for productivity work.
Neo G9 is VA. Just no. If it's not Oled it goes directly in the trash, after experiencing an oled 240 Hz 4k monitor I can't go back. I want a 4k 21:9 or 32:9 so even today, in fking 2024 we still have to wait.
Switching back to 21:9 because games don't even properly support 21:9 yet is just stupid. There is no reason not to scale your viewport algorithm to arbitrary widths once you're at it.
I have a 3070ti and i can barely keep above 60fps on my neo g9 at 1440p, the new neo g9 is gonna need a 4090 to even have a chance at higher refresh rates
“32:9 is not right for you” I tell you this: Using this monitor makes me have hoje advantage of seeing about 30-40% more of the games POV than regular monitors giving me huge advantage… you may say this so you don’t need to compete with other players?😅
as he said, its not for everyone, hell, lot of people enjoy 16.9 ... i dont, im all in on the ultrawide, big fov, especially on cod... I have a 34 inch, but it has fake hdr "400", it is really noticable when i go and play on the oled 4k tv... With this,you get a fantastic color accuracy,and fast response time,whats not to like,you can work ,play story driven games,or competitive fps , so if you have the money, its better to be "future proof" IMO .
I asked for it lol. I've been using one for years and need an upgrade. I wanted the 57 inch one but it's not OLED... I want is bigger X_X. For the view, you can set resolutions in the Windows settings for 16:9 and 21:9. Odyssey G93SC has settings that set the 16:9 and 21:9 for you

I have the original Neo g9 and it was a fantastic upgrade over my 21:9 LG I had before. I play FF14 and 32:9 is a dream for it. Yea 16:9 games like Street Fighter 6 for instance only utilize the center of the monitor but thats ok as long as you know what you are getting yourself into. The only issue that worried me was burn in and my 4 year old OLED tv still hasn't had any issue with it. So I have faith in this newer tech. Goodbye Neo G9 and hello OLED :)
Yeah me too. I have been using current 34" UW 1440p monitor for various games like MMORPG, ARPG, racing, single player RPG, action games, platform, they all are fine.
Yeah, this guy is a dumbass - I've got one, and it's AMAZING! No compatibility issues like stated, the features are endless, it's a SMART monitor (IoT) and can be controlled by either a remote that comes with it, or your cell phone if you intsall the smart things app.
hello thanks for your comment can you state why? LS49CG954ENXZA is this the same i see the last digits are diffferent is there a difference you can explain? thank you again
@@greenmachine816 Samsung uses 2 types of model numbers: 'Model' and 'Model Code'.
The one you are showing is a 'model code' number, which differs depending on country, NOT the actual model itself, the only difference is generally manuals and information that comes with the product. The 'Model' number is what you are after, in this case there are two models with the same specs but with or without Smart TV app: The 'S49CG95' (+ smart TV app), and 'S49CG93' (without smart TV app). More commonly known as G95SC and G93SC.
Hey, I’m picking up this monitor in a couple days and am pretty worried about burn in aswell. Have you had any issues yet?
1:28 - I asked for this. Samsung made this for me. Spreadsheets by day, FPS by night.
For real. Bro is actually in disbelief that there are people who do like 32:9.
If people are looking to buy this monitor, oh I don't know, it's probably because they *ARE* looking into getting a 32:9 display.
I asked for this. I've been using 32:9 for a long time. I play some games in 32:9, some in 21:9, and others in 16:9. I Use software to split the monitor into smaller monitors for other resolutions.
The only thing I've wanted is an OLED version, and this is it.
Not all games do support it, but the ones that do are great, and the fact I can split it up is really nice.
Also These support PBP so I can have my work computer plugged in, and have it act as a 21:9 monitor, and my actual computer set up on a smaller 11:9 section on the side so I can work on them side by side. I can also set them to both be 16:9. There are no bezels and its very clean to have a single monitor.
I'm perfectly willing to drop $2100 on it.
Yep just bought it! I will use it for work and gaming 50/50, so all good!
What software do you use to split the screen into smaller resolutions?
@@SlyMerlin Displayfusion
@@RyouEmerald DisplayFusion lets you split them as separate monitors (so you could say put game in that monitor and set it to fullscreen or fullscreen windowed)? Or just locked window sizes?
@@JassiBacha Windows still sees one monitor but programs treat each section as a monitor. For example I have my G9 set up as a 1280x1440, 2560x1440, 1280x1440. So there are 3 sections, with a 16:9 section in the middle. If I set a game to borderless windowed it will simply slip into the middle section if that is where I had it placed during windowed mode. When I maximize a program it just maximizes into whatever section it is in.
Fullscreen games still take up the full screen, and some games don't cooperate right away, and sometimes I have to use the boarderlessgaming software, but overall it works pretty decently.
32:9 in single player games is amazing, ill never go back
You don't feel that the image is stretched or that you have little height (screen wise compared to width)?
@@Seriksy No. Stretched occasionally, can usually adjust it via FOV slider. If it's intolerable, there are many ways to play in a different aspect ratio, but this has never happened to me with a single player game. Often you need a ultrawide fix when games don't support it properly.
And it's not really little height, except maybe when coming from screens bigger than 27" 16:9 or 34" 21:9
@@lorsch. Alright, thanks for the info!
32:9 isnt just about gaming though. I have 32:9 for work and put it into 21:9 mode for gaming. But my preferred size would be 38 inch 4K vertical
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!
It's 2 1440p monitors side by side with 240hz refresh rate and QD Oled. A single Woled 1440p 240hz monitor is $1000 so I think $2100 is fair for this niche monitor.
yeah but you never pay the same price for the second monitor, you don't need 240Hz on the second monitor

@@xan_exlitayep and the 2 27" oleds together would be way more expensive still 😅) will probably get one for xmass :3
Honestly I’m hoping Samsung is releasing a 4K OLED 45 inch or 49 inch. That I would pay the price for.
Agreed 👍🏼
32:9 makes more sense to me than 21:9. At least with 32:9 you can split it into two full 16:9 displays for most use and then use the full thing for games that support it. I wish I could get it, but to me I just can't go back from 4K. I have really good eyes and am incredibly sensitive to lower resolutions. With OLED I've noticed I'm also very sensitive to the moire effect which looks a lot like the matte display snow flaking look. Really wish more OLED displays just used a normal sub pixel layout like the Switch OLED does.
Wouldn't the OLED sub pixel layout weirdness be less noticeable at higher resolution monitors? And also apparently it'll look way better when these new Oled sub pixel matrixes get supported by Microsoft Cleartype. Which apparently is in the works. it'll make all the text look normal. Part of why it looks off today is because software or operating systems aren't optimized for it.
@Faine212 well 1440p isn't really that high res for OLED, at least except LG. This issue is Samsung for example uses the pentile layout so there pixels are less defined as each set shares something from another, usually green. Even if they added clear type that still wouldn't fully solve it.
And moire from odd sub pixels is in a similar boat. Some people are less sensitive to it than others but when you can see it it looks almost like the anti reflective coating on matte displays, the snow flaked fuzzy look. Again seems to be more an issue with Samsung's displays for a similar reason. It'll still have qualities better than LCDs, but these extra issues wouldn't exist if it just had a standard sub pixel layout like the Switch OLED.
@@Skylancer727 What if the display was 4K 16:9? Also I wonder why they didn't go for a regular sub pixel layout
@Faine212 I mean, 16:9 wouldn't change anything. 4K on the other hand would limit these effects from being noticeable. As for why not a standard sub pixel layout, from my understanding its a carry over from mobile displays where cerulean colors wore out faster than others and therefore needed unique sizes.
@@Skylancer727 Well when I said 16:9 I meant as in full 4K pixel per inch and no tomfoolery from marketing as the person in the video mentioned. So if they changed to RGB wouldn't there still be the issue of cerulean colors wearing out faster? Or did the technology improve to the point where it's not needed however they're cutting costs by using an already existing and common manufacturing setup for sub pixels on Oled. Yeah the Switch Oled I remember hearing is the normal sub matrix and it seems to have an incredibly long display life with not much burn-in or artifacts. But maybe the manufacturers currently can't do it that way for much smaller sub pixels A.K.A. higher resolution Oled displays. Just a thought
It's not true that apart from racing games, it's bad. Almost in any game, it looks noticeably better than 21:9 or 16:9. There are some distortions on the edges of the display due to the field of view (FOV), but in reality, you don't pay attention to that problem because those edges are too far away from the eyes. However, it still provides immersion regardless. Very immersive, next to VR (just after it).
Dude, no from software games accept ultrawide, most japanese game ports won't support it so unless you only play competitive games or use it for content creation I don't see the appeal. I prefer a 32 or 27 inch 4k QD OLED high refresh rate in the 16:9 that is a Jack of all trades than the Ultrawide bullshit. That's just my opinion
@@oscarfernandez2127 I own this monitor. Almost any game can be patched or hex edited. You're not properly informed.
@@oscarfernandez2127 unless the game artificially prevents you from going with higher aspect ratios, you won't have a problem for most 3d games as they using a transformation matrix that's directly computed from the aspect ratio. Like, there's quite literally 0 works for devs to support the game on different aspect ratios (And UI would also not really be an issue since you only get more horizontal screen size - which doesn't cause great impact on UI look - compared to a 16:9 1440p for example).
The only thing to cause issues is if you made a game whose gameplay itself is very centered around 16:9, but from a development perspective there's no extra work. On top of that, I use a 21:9 and while I admitely don't play many games, the ones I did had to issue with 21:9 and if they do, you can just set it to 16:9 anyways and the worst thing you get is vertical black bars on the sides which is very big meh.

I still don’t see much reason to upgrade my LG CX48. Had a G9 before and there’s a noticeable difference in quality between 4k and 1440p. Ultrawide is a neat experience, but not sure it’s worth the price. I will wait for a true 4k ultrawide.

Glossy screens looks waaaaay better than the matte ones....
If I had the money I would buy it 100%, without even thinking twice, for me the problem is having to have a super PC for it to make sense to have a monitor like that.
Bro these monitors have issues where if you ALT TAB it black screens and doesnt come back unless you reboot.
This is such a loaded review hahaha I play plenty of games in 32:9 with no issues and this monitor can split in to two screens to fix that issue for any other game. So many broad assumptions for people when you yourself is the one that has issues.

@@bazz1551 everything seems great except the potential price, but that’s what happens when you’re first in the market w/ a new technology. Complaining that it’s 1440p is a reasonable argument although 1440p has been pretty standard in the ultra wide space. I would be upset if it had a lower horizontal pixel resolution like LG’s 45”, but it’s not so it being a 1440p is fine.

Exactly 😂😂😂
Youre going to be happy there are about 5 brands out there with that exact spec mate. 4k oled is real and its priced at 1500-2000$ in June 2024.
Do you have this display or are you just ranting without ever using it?
Ehhh too late, already owned it for 2 months now, i love it
Yes, don't buy a monitor that's "cheap" now and wait for the next one that will cost at least 2500$. 1000 more than the one we got now. Makes sense.
Is this 4K ? Im confuse the G8 cost more than G9 lol
Mine is a nightmare with disconnecting from display port. G sync is up to date, pc software is, just doesn’t like many games with my RTX 3080

Same here, ordered today for $850 new, how is it so far? I play iracing , kinda scared with it being oled and samsungs quality issues.
They showed their Gen2 34" at Displayweek with G-sync ultimate! That's probably going to be the best We're going to get for a long time. Who knows how long it will take until a proper 27 inch or 32 inch 16:9. I really don't want ultrawide but for some reason, maybe it's the Mother Glass? They aren't making non Wides

It’s on sale for 1100 at Best Buy and LG Ultrawide is 999
Looking at the G9 Oled or the LG 45in Oled
I just bought this monitor and have been playing satisfactory on it - 32:9 is incredible and the game feels more impressive than I ever knew it could be.
For $850 this thing is an absolute BARGAIN. The high refresh rate, OLED, color accuracy, and integration with Samsung Smart things (if you have other Samsung products like I do) make this thing a MUST HAVE.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think you're dead wrong on this thing. Does your opinion change if the price is $850 vs the 2k+ you quoted in here?
It’s not a 1440P monitor, it’s two 1440P monitor. I own the old model and occasionally you’ll have issues with games being difficult to get the aspect ratio/resolution to work but when you do get it set up it’s brilliant. Worst case scenario you set your screen to Picture By Picture mode and you can play it in 16:9 if it’s that big of an issue to you. I’ve never had to do it though
its still essentially a 1440p monitor, its 1440p vertically which is the main thing and the horizontal is essentially 2 1440p screens, it's still pretty sharp but def looking forward to the 4k model bc it can make some games look pretty rough when using DLSS

4:10 I'm sorry but I disagree. I have an RTX3070 so running 5160x1440 will be hard enough let alone 7680x2160. If I wanted to run that res at high framerates I would need a 4090 at least and that alone will cost almost twice as much as the screen let alone all the other hardware I need to run a 4090 (beefy power supply, powerful CPU etc). 5160x1440 is plenty for me in 2024. Maybe in 2030 I will think about 7680x2160.
i've been playing eve online with my neo g9 and it's absolutely great. EVE is a game with tons of UI that can be cumbersome on a smaller display, and the game is gorgeous, it is perfect for this monitor. There are a select few games that won't support this aspect ratio, but you do have the option of running those in 16x9 so... it's not like you can't play games on a "traditional" 16x9 resolution.
Nice use case with EVE, always wished it allowed you to move the UI off screen instead of forcing you to stretch the window across multiple monitors.
I dont know why, but today the price of this monitor dropped to CHF 1500 here in Switzerland.
Just bought it! For work an for gaming.
How’s it working out. I want it for work, need more space, and work with gaming.

Why did you turn this into a ultra widescreen review and not a review about the monitor itself?
Has anyone been able to find out to access the PiP settings to adjust one computer input screen to 30%, and another screen to 70%? Thanks
I bought one yesterday and even in older games like Fallout 4 it works perfectly. Also it only cost me $1048 plus tax at Best Buy brand new.
Best Display I've ever owned (and I have LG C8,CX, and C1's for gaming monitors too :)
I'm not an oled guy but i bought this one because it's much thinner then the lcd models. I plan to mount it to an arm.
I mean, everyone who's seriously looking at this monitor for their setup knows that it's a rather niche use case. I myself got the neo g9 to replace my old dual monitor setup, and I can effortlessly switch between 32:9 with HDR, 2x 16:9 widescreen PBP or 21:9+11:9 PBP to suit my needs at that particular moment, with just a few button presses. While it does have a few kinks and caveats to be aware of, it's hands down the best darn monitor I've ever owned.
What refresh rate do you get in PBP on the NEO G9?
@@JassiBacha I set my main "monitor" to 120Hz, and keep my second smaller "monitor" (which I mainly use for Discord) to 60Hz.
I don't think I've ever heard someone complain about the pixel density of 1440p.
A Super UltraWide is a best of all worlds situation here. It can flawlessly work as a 32:9 monitor, a 21:9 one and a 16:9 one. But the other way around only comes with compromises on the vertical space.

Whats the best 4k gaming monitor upto £500?
I have the first DQHD 32:9 from samsung. I won't ever buy a monitor with different Ratio.
Haven't found games with bad FOV except PUBG which I stopped playing because of this.
I had a 32:9 and just did not enjoy it. So many games has the fish eye effect making me sick. I went back to the regular 16:9 42 LG C2 Oled and its an incredible monitor. Its just as immersive and the increase resolution is so nice. I dont really see why Id spend $2100 on this when you can spend 800 on the 42 inch C2 Oled.
I see your point but you can adjust the resolution to a 3440x1440 in the middle, then having either nothing or tabs on either side. It's very customizable. But then again if you're always setting it to 3440x1440, then a regular 34" is better
What? No more cataract simulator screens from Samsung?
It's 2 x 27" 2560x1440 glued together. It's one of the best monitor I ever used I can't go back. Kinda weird your channel is named The Display Guy when you don't sound like someone who knows much about ultrawide displays.

2:04 Dude that is not 1440 p monitor 1440 p monitor has 3 686 400 pixels 4k has 8 302 080 pixels and this Samsung monitor is closer to 4K then 1440p because it has 7 372 800 pixel count about million less then actual 4k monitor but much higher then 1440 p. So how the hell this is 1440p? It just has higher pixels Horizontal pixelk count and lower vertical pixel count. But overall pixel count is far greater then 1440p. So what you said is literal nonsense.
there is NO alternative. smasung will produce only 49 and 34 inch monitor panels for whatever reason.
deal and get with 34 i guess - or get lg matte panels (lol) with 27 inch etc.
and yes g 9 49 will cost ~2140 dallars can confirm.
A friend of mine just bought this monitor and I've been thinking of upgrading to it for a while as well. I've been using the first gen Odyssey G9 for about two years now and it's good to know that none of your points against the monitor anything specific to this model. 1440p is absolutely fine for 49" (remember this is equivalent to two 27" 16:9 monitors side by side) in my opinion and I don't see a benefit to 4k, especially since desktop apps don't always scale well with 4k (I know from my media PC that's connected to a 4k TV).
The only drawback I hear from this is the glossy finish, which while it does mean livelier colors, might mean issues with glaring on my desk, because unfortunately I sit with a window behind me and even with the matte finish, it sometimes reflects and focuses sunlight in my eyes like a parabolic mirror 😅
But even that problem is easily fixed by a white fabric roller blind, which softens the sunlight like a diffuser on a lightbox.
The issues with bad widescreen support, zou learn to deal with. Many modern games support it, which is an awesome experience, and the games that don't, you either tinker with to make them work, or you simply play them in their standard resolution. Even the black bars on the Odyssey with an LCD don't distract in a dark room and for the odd game that stretches wide on the display, you can switch to HDMI (mirror mode), which may not suppirt the full refresh rate, but can automatically (and manually, if needed) adjust the display size to the correct aspect ratio. I recommend using two inputs from your GPU anyway, to make use of the great dual-monitor productivity in picture by picture mode.
I know this is 10 months late, but this video is bad. It's full of "I don't like this, so you aren't allowed to like it".
1:30 for the mayorit, a PC is also used for windows stuff. And 1 ultŕawide is nicer than 3 standard monitors.
..it's not 1440p...5120 x 1440 is considered 4K for super ultra wides...it's literally 88.8% the pixel density of 4k 5120 x 1440 = 7.372.800 and 3840 x 2160 = 8.294.400 so the resolution of the monitor is far closer to 4k than it is 1440p. Nearly everywhere will consider this as super ultrawide 4k.
Basically you are saying is, because it's really two 1440p on each side then it looks sharper than if the entire screen was just 1440p, but wouldn't that still be 1440p on each side? Equivalent to Just two 1440p monitors side by side?

Definitely not misleading. That’s exactly what it is. PPI is nearly meaningless. It will look exactly like a 1440p monitor which will always look significantly worse than 4K no matter what the size is because it’s less than 4 Megapixels vs over 8 Megapixels.
@@thedisplayguy PPI is very important. No, in games the difference 4K vs 1440p is miniscule (Hardware Unboxed, blind tests on LinusTech etc). 4K looks noticeably better for texts, photos. For designers it's better to have 4K, for gamers, no, 1440p (with PPI 110 or higher) is enough.
You didnt use this monitor did you?
Is it actually QD-OLED? Samsung is selling it as only "OLED" in their marketing, and the brightness has me thinking it's their new standard OLED tech.

Pls Anybody have something to say about trading on this ?
So essentially, the video is reviewing game development issues in relation to ultrawide compatibility? Cos ofc not all games are compatible with ultrawide.
For others that got here as their first foray into their research, I just treat this as a dual monitor in one since my setup only allows one cable to my desk and the other is hdmi to my tv for gaming. Use Fancy Zones to allocate the correct spaces to utilize all the screen real estate if you don't want to have borders and useless space. Also, I was convinced enough when I looked into a list of games that DO support ultrawide, so at the end of the day, the questions are (1) how to play in 16:9 if possible (yes it is) and (2) are there games I play that support ultrawide (chances are yes there are). So if you're in the market and your desk can fit one, it's a good option to have, especially also for productivity work.
Neo G9 is VA. Just no. If it's not Oled it goes directly in the trash, after experiencing an oled 240 Hz 4k monitor I can't go back. I want a 4k 21:9 or 32:9 so even today, in fking 2024 we still have to wait.
Still do not understand the glossy finish argument. If you want to see reflection in blacks, enjoy it.
ITS SO GOOD WHEN EDITING VIDEOS ALOT OF REAL ESTATE
Switching back to 21:9 because games don't even properly support 21:9 yet is just stupid.
There is no reason not to scale your viewport algorithm to arbitrary widths once you're at it.
I have a 3070ti and i can barely keep above 60fps on my neo g9 at 1440p, the new neo g9 is gonna need a 4090 to even have a chance at higher refresh rates
it’s like playing at 4k so yes
Yeah the Neo is ridiculous lol and mini led is cool and all but blacks are too dark and mini led sears your eyeballs 😂
Maybe you should change topic to rant about aspect ratios in general, because you don't seem to have anything technical against this specific display.
“32:9 is not right for you”
I tell you this: Using this monitor makes me have hoje advantage of seeing about 30-40% more of the games POV than regular monitors giving me huge advantage… you may say this so you don’t need to compete with other players?😅
Down to 999 now, but aspect ratio is silly to me. I would have preferred a bigger 21:9 with 2160 vertical pixels
Your not getting anywhere near 240fps at that resolution even with an rtx 4090 build...3440x1440p can barely get there
You definitely can.
@@thedisplayguy not at 5120x1440p in games like MW2 at low settings..maybe tetris
its already up for pre order I am holding 45'' 21:9 240hz lg 3440x1440 until we have 5120x2160 in Q1 2025 on 45'' in 165hz on lg oled
he deletes the comments he doesnt like
Isn’t this the one supposed to have a 109 ppi? Still 1440, but it’ll probably be a nice one….
…. When the price drops to nice 1440p levels.
Not interested unless they lower that price to under 1 grand. Currently it's listed for a little over 1,700 on amazon. Totally not worth the price tag
It's on sale for 40% off right now on Amazon.. It's like $1,099
what really matters is the ppi, and this got 108ppi, which is decent.
This is my favorite of your videos
as he said, its not for everyone, hell, lot of people enjoy 16.9 ... i dont, im all in on the ultrawide, big fov, especially on cod... I have a 34 inch, but it has fake hdr "400", it is really noticable when i go and play on the oled 4k tv... With this,you get a fantastic color accuracy,and fast response time,whats not to like,you can work ,play story driven games,or competitive fps , so if you have the money, its better to be "future proof" IMO .
mine's gonna be here in a few days, i'm totally satisfied with the g8 and this would be fantastic
I asked for it lol. I've been using one for years and need an upgrade. I wanted the 57 inch one but it's not OLED... I want is bigger X_X.
For the view, you can set resolutions in the Windows settings for 16:9 and 21:9.
Odyssey G93SC has settings that set the 16:9 and 21:9 for you
I have this screen. Believe me it's f**king awesome!!!!
so he didnt actually review it... no hands on and tells us not to buy it???????
Y nobody using this for productive work n why only game. I think for stocks trading it might be a gem
Samsung rated the OLED G9 as the exact same brightness (per window) as the AW3423DW.
