Thank you so very much. I have mid-stage Parkinson's disease and recently started regularly having tremors in my fingers. Having a lot of time on my hands, I'm trying my hand at gaming to try to keep my dexterity. Bought a gaming PC and have this monitor, still trying to figure everything out, but your videos have helped me tremendously and I am very grateful.😊
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, not sure if you're familiar with Lions Mane mushroom? There is evidence to suggest it can prevent or even slow progression due to regenerating and preserving neurons. Worth doing some research and giving a try. I wish you the best of luck.
Dude, your settings have transformed my G9 oled! HDMI finally clips at 1000 nits on high peak brightness and the colors finally POP like an OLED should. You are the best!
Finally, and probably the ONLY video I came across that was of real helpful worth. Awesome video, thank you! Thumbs up, new sub and especially because you didn't ask for it.
I'm able to run Gsync on Displayport with no issues but I made sure to use the cable included with the monitor, other than that your settings really helped improve my picture quality so thanks!
I actually caved and brought the G9 QD-OLED on Amazon (while it was on a great sale!) almost 2 weeks now! It came very next day and setup was kinda straight forward. I’m really loving the monitor thus far. While my monitor updated itself (😩 Samsung always removing features) I don’t believe I can adjust peak brightness for SDR (least while an image is onscreen) on FW 1310. I have since turned auto update off. Overall, I absolutely love the 32:9 aspect ratio. While I initially wanted the 45 Corsair Xeneon Flex model, for the price I got the Samsung and the overall (potentially) better 2nd gen QD display, I’m certainly not losing any sleep over not having the prior. I know I wasn’t paying $1900 for ANY monitor, regardless how nice of PQ quality. For the price and the absolute gorgeous display of the Samsung, it simply can’t be beat.
Awesome video! However, I have a burn-in anecdote. I typically turn the monitor off when I'm done using the computer. One time, when I left for a few days, I forgot to do this AND I forgot to disconnect my remote desktop from the computer in the city I was in. When I got home, I was horrified to see my g9 oled on and in remote desktop view. I knew for a fact that I just burned the remote view picture into the monitor because it had been showing the stagnant screen for over a day. I've never been so happy to be wrong. I have not found a single sign of burn-in. These things are pretty fucking resilient.
Awesome video. I’m running a 2060 super on this oled monitor. Was having issues at first setting it up. Finally got it dialed in. Using Display port at it’s running smoothly on 240hz with Warzone, F1, Fornite & Horizon. Downside is frames dropped quite a bit. But still looks a lot better than 144hz. I’m still going to upgrade my GPU though.
Great video, thanks. I didn't have any issues with a DP cable, surprised to hear about that. Point of constructive criticism: the animated crumpled white paper background you used in parts of the video was distracting and too busy.
The peak brightness is sooo damn important, I turned it off initially but with the windows calibration its top tier, also these settings are surprisingly quite good with the mac, once again peak brightness is a MUST
I followed the setting and I did not like it at all for flight sim. What I did was just to turn off HDR and use the monitors built in settings by pressing the pause/play button and changing it to RTS, turning brightness down to 30, and leaving everything else at default. This gives me a rich deep colors with zero over saturation. Thanks for the help though.
My G9 was defect for three months because Samsung had no parts to repair it. And then i got it back with milky like display and a deep scratch/hole on the outer layer of the display. I regrett spending so much money on bad designed monitor. (i think it gets to hot on longer game sessions) But ur vid make my bad display a little more "lookable" :)
@@MedallionSteven sorry to hear that, I definitely won’t be buying Samsung for my next display after hearing tons of customer support/QC horror stories but glad I could help!
Just chiming in about the cable. When I initially got the monitor and set it up with my 30ft display port (specific requirements in my workstation unfortunately), the patchy white flickers were very consistent and persistent on anything above 60hz (120 or 240). Toning that down to 60hz (i know) alleviates most of it alongside disabling gsync. I still get them occasionally but it definitely IS the cable. In my first couple weeks with it, I did try it with a much shorter cable and the flickering was nonexistent in the 4-6 hours I was using it. IF it did flicker, it wasn't enough to even notice. Im just putting this out here since there's also some issues with QA reported all over the place including the DP port issue that causes these flickering. Otherwise, for my use case needing a single 30ft cable, I'm okay to sacrifice hz for it, but cannot reiterate from the video that the cables indeed matter. I'm still in search for a REALLY good cable capable of the travel and diminished bandwidth but will settle for the 60hz limitation in the meantime. My second one is flawless on a much shorter cable.
@@jeggzzzz if I were you I would look into active cables if you haven’t already, or cables with a built in amplifier to amplify the signal. Usually anything over 15 feet will cause a loss of bandwidth, especially when you’re pushing 5120x1440 at high refresh rates, but an active cable will keep the signal strong the whole way through hopefully allowing for you to utilize the full 240hz
@@chettystudios I used to use them before and they tend to fail since it has an extra thing to it. So I'll keep an eye out for better ones, but I'm totally fine with the 60hz, but thank you very much for the reminder! :)
Love the video can't wait to try out the settings you gave! Just got it last week, never had an OLED before, and I have been searching and searching for answer to this but, what can be done about the heat it outputs, mine usually sits around 95-105, with a peak of 110F on a hot spot, can not seem to find a solution for this, or if this is just normal/okay
I've never checked the temp from mine so not sure what's considered normal but I do notice it gives off quite a bit of heat in the back. Just to be safe I would reach out to Samsung to make sure that's not out of the norm, but as long as it has enough room to breathe I would say its okay
This video was amazing. Extremely thorough. One question for ya though: With your settings, do you have HDR constantly turned on on your monitor and just adjust SDR brightness in windows, or do you switch HDR on when about to game? I ask mostly because it seems with windows SDR never truly looks good with HDR constantly on, no matter how much you adjust that brightness bar, so i usually only turn HDR on when gaming. Am i doing it wrong?
No the way you do it is actually how most people tend to use it! I personally just keep it on but I've seen many people suggest setting up a hot key to turn it on and off when gaming
This video is great, brother. My monitor looks a lot better now and I am getting more out of my 4090 RTX. My only issue now is to know why my FireFox using the new AI-Upscale video to HDR quality, nor under windows-dysplay-advenced-display settings the HDR certification still says "Not found;" Peak brightness is at 490 nits.
Thanks for these videos I just got this monitor and I'm trying to get it set up. Also your vids and editing look great I'll sub and interested to see how your channel goes.
Sorry quick question are you saying I should run the display port cable and hdmi or just one? I just got mine today and want to get the most out of it as the game I’m running now is only getting me 80frames
Great settings for initial setup. I ran Windows calibration and I think I got it close without a true calibration. Funny you mention Displayport. On my 4070ti I have so many danged Displayports. I just used the provided 6' Displayport cable, plugged it right in. No issues, 240Hz and Gsync (compatible). My only issue: 32:9 is a stupid ratio. I'm going to give a bit more time, but so far, nope.
I swear I tried, but unless I'm playing games 24/7, it doesn't do much for productivity. I deal with spreadsheets and many "vertical" apps. Returned it and since I can't find anything that big in "monitors", I went with a 55" QN90C at 120Hz. I will say, gaming on the G9 was on another level though. It is the most beautiful display I've ever used. Ever. If they ever make it in a 21:9, I'll pre-order. Its that nice.
Thanks so much for the settings tips. Mine arrives tomorrow. I got a really good sale price and Im hoping with the help of your videos that I dont run into too many issues. Question. Does it come with a good HDMI 2.1 cable or do you recommend getting one from a 3rd party?
Thanks so much for the follow up and sharing the settings. I will be installing mine today so I discovered this video right on time. Any thoughts using on the "upgrade files"/Firmware version (USB Type) and drivers available on the product support page? I went for the G93SC without the SmartTv features.
@@chettystudios Thanks, it turned out that mine was already updated luckily. My whole setup process was without any issue and took me a couple of hours to get everything working perfectly. I am using displayport. My only gripes are that coresync lighting doesnt work via displayport and that the G93 doesnt have user profiles. But other than that everything is great and all the games I tried work fine at this resolution. (GTA V, FO 4, RDR2, Elden Ring (with modengine).
Display Port setup is a **** to get to work, at least it was for me. The only way i got it to work, and trust me i went and did most anything in settings and stuff, incl. calling Samsung Support, was to hook up another DP monitor to my PC and connect the G9 using BOTH HDMI and DP slots, so effectively connecting it TWICE. I have no idea as to why it works, but it did. For people that can use this setup to get your G9 to work, great, just don't ask my why it works.
you mentioned resetting the panel and having to redownload the firmware, does that mean the factory reset restores the original firmware the monitor came with? I'm trying to roll back to it but i don't remember what number it was and i don't want to risk bricking the screen downloading a wrong one from the internet
@@chettystudios also the tuff series from Asus so basically Asus cards but please check before purchasing To my knowledge it’s only Asus who has 2 HDMI I knew of strix cause I have one myself
That’s a good question, not technically that I’m aware of, but the settings do save to game mode and non-game mode separately so you could always use game mode off for the Mac and game mode on for the gaming rig and it should act like two different profiles if I’m not mistaken
hey i am debating whether to get this or the neo g9 since i heard issues about burn in. I am just not sure how soon that will happen? im fine with it happening in like 4 years but not less... do you think i should get the OLED? appreciate your help
@@user-ux3jp9oo7r it depends on if you use a lot of static elements. For gaming you're probably fine, but if you do a lot of work with the same tabs open all day long it will definitely burn in eventually. Possibly under 4 years if those static elements like a spread sheet are all you ever have up for long hours every day. Also, Best Buy offers a warranty that covers burn in if that will help you make your decision, I'm not too certain the exact details but might be worth looking into
Hey, building my 1st PC. I already have the Asus Rog Strix 4090, waiting on the parts. Should I opt for a different monitor with that card? I would like to play in 4k but if this monitor is nearly the same as, well. What do you think. Breat review btw. Thank you. All the other reviews are so “nearly sponsored” and reddit is so the opposite it’s hard to get a read.
In my opinion this one because oled just looks so damn good. But your clearly want to spend money on this setup so Samsungs newest neo is this but in 4k, it’s 7680x2160 so 2 4k monitors beside each other, it’s around $3k I believe but if you really want resolution it’s great. I still personally recommend this one though there’s really nothing that comes close to oled in terms of quality.
I second that I would definitely stick with OLED. If 4k is what you’re looking for there’s also quite a few coming out/already released this year in the 32” variant if you’re not already 100% set on UW that are worth taking a look at as well
If you can afford both, for the 4090 I'd recommend 65" or 77" 16:9 4K OLED that can do 120hz, for big screen/couch gaming. And for gaming with a mouse/keyboard at a desk, go with this G9 as you can't beat the 240Hz and superultrawide 5120x1440 32:9 resolution. Personally for gaming, I do prefer the extra width especially for FPS and strategy games, however for more cinematic games or 3rd person games, I like the big TV and additional vertical resolution. The pixel density from 1440p vs 4k is noticeable, however it's not a huge deal even sitting close to the monitor, it's a much wider gap from 1080p to 1440p. 4k does offer that bit of extra clarity, especially on a small monitor to where anti-aliasing type in games doesn't really matter anymore, but the extra width is a lot more immersive as the screen fills your whole field of view which does kinda suck you into the game when sitting close in a way a TV can't. If you really wanna hold out for a true 4K 32:9 OLED monitor, rumors are that next year Samsung will release an OLED with that ungodly double 4k resolution of 7680x2160, as they currently have a 57" monitor with that res but it's still a QLED/MicroLED type of tech. That said, that's probably about 9 months to a year out from now, but in either case that res would even bring a 4090 to it's knees, as it would be half the FPS of 4K.... The 5090 should be out by then though and may be a perfect match.
So, I bought the Samsung G9 49 OLED screen, and I have one issue. I use a DP to USB C cable for my Windows and MacBook Pro laptops, but the sound is not working. The screen can't output sound. I tried HDMI to HDMI on my Windows laptop, and still, no sound from the screen. Do you know what is the problem?
hi. you mic sound realy good...other tihing.. why didn't you put the hole name of the monitor. because there are a lot ot them from 800 to 3000 dollars . so you monitor probobly not the same as mine..
Thank you so much for this helpful video! In the multi view screen, I would like to put Samsung TV playing on one side and have my computer screen shown on the other half. I was able to do this by customizing the multi view settings. However, I cannot seem to put Samsung TV on the right half of the screen. I can only put Samsung TV on the left side of the screen. When I try to manually place it on the right side by putting my computer screen on the left side, the monitor disables (dims) the Samsung TV so I can't select it to show it on the right side. Do you happen to know how to fix this by any chance?
I don't unfortunately. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the ABL but then it wouldn't make sense why it only happens on one side. Best of luck!
Hey there... amm I bought it due to your video and thanks... tho I have a lot of issues that you help me fix.. one issue that I can't fix yet is the fact that it turn off every 20-30min ones or 3 times...
Thanks! And no, consoles don't support ultrawide so you would either have a very stretched image or be forced to only use the center in 16x9 mode. I would recommend an OLED TV for console gaming such as the LG c4
What settings do you use for the Windows HDR calibration tool? I didn't see you go over it in the video. I have the G9 OLED as well and use 0/1000/400 but not sure if that's correct.
For the peak brightness not working right... I was looking for oled G8 settings and people said that if you turn off the game HDR and turn on HDR10+ it produces a much brighter image. Might work with the G9 as well.
Great video, man. I have the Samsung G95 that uses a VA panel, it also had some issues when I began to use it, thankfully the firmware fixed most of these. omg, why can't Samsung fix those before selling. I want to update my old one to the new OLED G9, but seeing all these issues that you had, I think I will wait for the next-gen because someone said maybe all these problems are caused by the DSC, display stream compression, I hope the next-gen OLED G9 could have the DP2.0 so no more DSC may cause fewer problems. I want to use G9 OLED most of the time for text editing, is that a good choice? Because someone said the ABL can be very unpleasant to eyes
The ABL doesn't bother me as much as the text fringing would for something like text editing. Its still not a HUGE issue but I can imagine it causing some eye strain if I was looking at text all day. Typically WOLED panels deal with this better so I would look for something that uses that!
Zero issues here on G9 OLED, and I've had mine since day 1 on launch so it's been almost 10 months. It works fine on HDMI 2.1 with a good cable, the displayport cable isn't ideal though as you can't easily hit as high of a refresh rate. HDMI 2.1 cable works fine. I've had no issues with HDR or G-Sync/VRR on this monitor, it simply just works. Which is interesting, as the 49" first gen G9 I had with the VA panel was basically impossible to get HDR working on, but HDR is worthless anyway on anything other than OLED or maybe really high-end QLEDs. That said, my biggest complaint is the TV interface, it's laggy garbage. If you do decide to the get the OLED, definitely go with the cheaper one that lacks smart TV features. Will save you $200 and plenty of headache from the shitty slow interface.
I deliver it back , since it shut down by only turning off a game or adjust settings in a game . Another issue . I forgot to delete my profile befor sending it in . Do they reset it when they Get it , shuld i call them and Ask please remove my profile ?
I applied your recommendations here on my new Samsung G9 OLED S49CG932SN, which for some reason does not come with a remote and has a different UI, setting names yet seems to have the same specs as the one here. Like for instance, it only has three levels of color scales to change on RGB instead of the 6 you have here. With the settings here applied (except I kept color settings at 0,0,0) with HDR on and Auto HDR off. I don’t understand why we would want that off? With that off, each time I open a game now, instead of automatically applying HDR to the game, I get a pop up informing me that HDR is available but Off and it would benefit having it on. 😅
There's 2 models of the G9 OLED, one with the "smart" features and interface and one without. I believe the one you have is without, which is why there's no remote/settings are a bit different but the panel itself should be the same. For the Auto HDR I had mine off because it's purpose is to take SDR content and apply a new tone map to give it an HDR look, and although it does a good job most of the time, for the sake of keeping things standard while setting things up I didn't want it to apply any "effects" on top of the image. You can definitely mess around with this once the monitor is set up as it may make some SDR content look better, just keep in mind that Windows is applying a new tone map, on top of the tone map you've already set on the monitor, so if things do start to look oversaturated or highlights blown out that's the reason. The most common complaints I've seen is that it makes certain programs/software while not gaming look blown out and oversaturated and the common fix for this is setting up a hotkey to turn it on/off when using it for gaming/not gaming.
What about adaptive sync? I got the cheaper non smart version, and the settings look a little different, but I just have doubt with adaptive-sync. If it's on, I can't use my macbook wot the full resolution or refresh rate, if it's off, I can use it with 5120 x 1440 and 240hz refresh rate, but I don't know if it is a good decision to turn it off
@@bartekes8852 I have the g95 and the GPU is RTX 3080 12gb. The reason for HDMI over display port is I had terrible artifacting on DP, like an unusable amount, random streaks and digital blinks all around the screen.
@@chettystudios Got it. I'm about to buy slightly used G9 and was afraid of the cable issue. Will try to buy VESA certified DP40 cable. You've been very helpful, appreciate it!
Correct! Where the issue lies is tons of people are having trouble running the monitor via Display Port, leaving HDMI 2.1 the only viable option, which is only available on the newer GPUs
Hi, I recently purchased this monitor, and your videos have been very helpful. However, the screen was glitching, and the monitor’s OS indicated a port issue. Samsung’s customer service was unable to diagnose the problem. Following your suggestion, I tried using HDMI 2.1 cables, which so far seem to have resolved the issues. But I have two questions for you before I decide whether to return the monitor: 1. Since getting the monitor, it has been making a popping noise while in use. Did yours do that? 2. When I first received my monitor, every time I powered it on, the screen would display “Samsung Odyssey OLED”. Now, it only shows the shutting down animation when I turn it on. Is this normal behavior after a while, or is my unit faulty? Thank you!
Glad the cable helped! I forgot to mention I too had the port issue indication when running the troubleshooter in the OS at first. For the popping, this isn’t something I’ve experienced but I would definitely email Samsung about it to make sure it’s just the speakers turning on and not something more serious like a faulty power supply or something that could catch fire over time. And as for the power on, this is normal, I don’t see any text on screen when powering it on, just the horizontal “shutter” effect if the PC is already turned on and a blue screen if the PC is just being turning on and waking the monitor from rest until I get Windows Login Screen
You must have the G93SC model, this is the G95SC. The biggest difference is this model has the “smart” features and a remote, but the panel itself is the same.
I haven't used the C2 but I have the C3 which is basically the same but it really depends on use case. If I were primarily PC gaming (especially with keyboard and mouse) I would prefer the G9 for higher refresh rates in competitive games and the ultrawide experience in single player. But for console gaming/controller playing I would prefer the C3 since it's 4k and it's a little too tall to be playing keyboard and mouse
Since it's essentially the equivalent of running two 1440p monitors it will definitely be taking up a lot more resources than a standard 16x9 1440p monitor, so I would either look to upgrade the GPU or go with a less demanding display
Dumb question - I have a G93SC connected to a Windows mini PC, to have the screen just turn off after a period do I just go into Power Settings on my PC? Or do I have to mess with the OSD? It has a Panel Care screensaver after 2 mins as I understand it but I want a fully blacked out low power state which will automatically turn on when I mess with the mouse/keyboard. Cheers.
Not a dumb question! You'll have to set it on the PC to turn off the screen after a certain amount of time, and I believe with this display you'll get a countdown timer then the screen will go into standby mode
There are quite a bit of 32” 4k OLED’s out at the moment so you could always look at those. Personally when I went from 4k to 1440p, specifically when gaming, I don’t really notice the resolution difference. However, in menus/surfing the web/etc I definitely can.
Is it possible to split the screen into two equal parts using a single source? I want my laptop to see two separate screens in Windows settings. (2 x 1440p monitors).
You must have the 93sc which is a different version without the smart OS or remote. I believe you can access settings through the on TV dongle, but I’m not 100% sure and just keep in mind some settings mentioned in the video like game mode won’t be available for that model.
I have one question mate, i can't know what to do to watch videos and movies with FULL SCREEN ULTRAWIDE , games are fine but movies and vids are cropped and i have black sides, any solution for this, ( i have a VA panel 49") i love ur video it's very informative, thank you
What solutions do you expect here? It's an aspect ratio issue. Same problem when content was mostly 4:3 and 16:9 monitors started to appear. Either crop, stretch, or leave it with the vertical letterboxes.
@chettystudios have you run into issues when connecting keyboard and mouse to the monitor? I am able to tunr on the monitor but when i select Wake Up Pc the computer wont turn on, its almost like the keyboard and mouse actions are not getting to the sleeping PC.
@@NestorCanales-Clevermask I don’t use them plugged into the monitor but instead plugged into the PC, however it sounds like something that could be fixed within windows sleep settings
I currently have 2 1440p monitors and planning to switch to this, but mainly I use 3 windows on a desktop without any fullscreen applications running, should I still go for it or will I be prone to burn ins? I use my monitors 8-12 hrs a day.
You may be prone to burn in where the windows meet and the task bar if using with 3 windows all day long, if you don’t care about the OLED you could always go with the non-OLED version as well
Hi! I would like to ask you if it's possible to use this monitor with a laptop with a good GPU (at least the RTX 4060 for laptop) for gaming. Because of my job, I travel a lot, so I am planning to buy a laptop for gaming instead of a PC and I would like to buy a 32:9 monitor for playing video games when I am at home. I am not sure if this will work. Thank you so much for the video :)
This is a premium monitor so you will need a premium graphics card. The lowest you want to go to play high refresh rate at 1440p is a 4080 and even then its not that fast because its the laptop version but it is comparable to the 4070 Super desktop GPU
Yeah I mean people have said they use it via Display Port but everybody I know personally that owns it has issues. Plus considering that the 5120 x 1440 resolution is almost equivalent to running 4k, the 2070ti might have a tough time utilizing the high refresh rate of the monitor. I would take a look at some of the newer OLEDs coming out this year though!
I can’t alt+tab normally on my new monitor. Have black screen every time. It seems to be connected with 240 refresh rate and HDR. But I really don’t want to use it without 240hz and hdr. Did someone faced the same issue? Have you found a fix?
Yeah that’s a common issue with a lot of these monitors that use Display Stream Compression in order to utilize high refresh rates. Unfortunately only fix as of now is play in windowed borderless
@@chettystudios that’s a bummer. Maybe will return it back then… Is there another model of ultrawide oled which is working better? Maybe G93SC works better?
@@anicomx4 It's all about compatibility with the GPU. Nvidia has stated it's a known issue and they're working on a fix for it but its been quite a while and still no fix. No matter the brand or model, at such high refresh rates and resolution DSC is going to need to be used, and unfortunately it just isn't a 100% perfected technology yet.
1:35 i would actually disagree copy someone who has actually used a colormeter to measure the inaccuracy and do what he does , sure panels are different from one another but unless if you know how to use a colormeter which im intersted in learning if you could get me a resource that explains it in a video that would be great but thats the only shot of acutally getting acurate colors
I would just look up a guide on buying/using colorimeters but they’re pretty expensive for a one time use so I know they’re available for rent at some local photo/video stores as well if there’s any around
Thanks for your Video. Mine G9 worked fine for a few Days but now i can only choose up to 120hz and i have no Idea why + don´t know how to change it. Anyone knows this Issue?
If you have the “smart” version (the one with the remote) check to make sure game mode is enabled. Otherwise it may be an issue within windows or graphics software.
I have this monitor and no matter what cable I use or settings I change it has screen cutting, flickering, and more. At this point Samsung is taking it back snd refunding me. For an almost 2k dollar monitor you shouldn’t have to jump through these hoops to get it to work
I totally agree, it should work right out of the box, no questions asked. If I didn't like it so much once I got mine working, I would have done the same.
I'm not sure but converters are something I've been looking into and try to find a way to test if you lose any quality. In theory you shouldn't lose quality but I'm not sure how the graphics card then registers the cable and handles things like DSC (display stream compression) so its a bit out of my knowledge but definitely something I've been trying to look into, just such a niche thing its hard to find some solid data
@@chettystudios Thank you for your reply my friend. I have another question. I returned the g8 Monitor and bought a screen like yours, but now I am facing the problem of the random black screen. Have you found any solution to this problem? i have dp cable cuz I searched the internet and saw that the HDMI cable does not support 240 Hz.

I actually caved and brought the G9 QD-OLED on Amazon (while it was on a great sale!) almost 2 weeks now! It came very next day and setup was kinda straight forward. I’m really loving the monitor thus far. While my monitor updated itself (😩 Samsung always removing features) I don’t believe I can adjust peak brightness for SDR (least while an image is onscreen) on FW 1310. I have since turned auto update off. Overall, I absolutely love the 32:9 aspect ratio. While I initially wanted the 45 Corsair Xeneon Flex model, for the price I got the Samsung and the overall (potentially) better 2nd gen QD display, I’m certainly not losing any sleep over not having the prior. I know I wasn’t paying $1900 for ANY monitor, regardless how nice of PQ quality. For the price and the absolute gorgeous display of the Samsung, it simply can’t be beat.
Awesome video! However, I have a burn-in anecdote. I typically turn the monitor off when I'm done using the computer. One time, when I left for a few days, I forgot to do this AND I forgot to disconnect my remote desktop from the computer in the city I was in. When I got home, I was horrified to see my g9 oled on and in remote desktop view. I knew for a fact that I just burned the remote view picture into the monitor because it had been showing the stagnant screen for over a day. I've never been so happy to be wrong. I have not found a single sign of burn-in. These things are pretty fucking resilient.
@@phenomz28 glad to hear it! Not seeing too many of these newer panels get burn in that easy is a great relief

@@dakakarot best monitor I’ve ever had
Awesome video. I’m running a 2060 super on this oled monitor. Was having issues at first setting it up. Finally got it dialed in. Using Display port at it’s running smoothly on 240hz with Warzone, F1, Fornite & Horizon. Downside is frames dropped quite a bit. But still looks a lot better than 144hz. I’m still going to upgrade my GPU though.
Great video, thanks. I didn't have any issues with a DP cable, surprised to hear about that. Point of constructive criticism: the animated crumpled white paper background you used in parts of the video was distracting and too busy.
I'll keep it in mind thank you!
The peak brightness is sooo damn important, I turned it off initially but with the windows calibration its top tier, also these settings are surprisingly quite good with the mac, once again peak brightness is a MUST
These settings really helped. I love this monitor
Glad to hear it!
I followed the setting and I did not like it at all for flight sim. What I did was just to turn off HDR and use the monitors built in settings by pressing the pause/play button and changing it to RTS, turning brightness down to 30, and leaving everything else at default. This gives me a rich deep colors with zero over saturation. Thanks for the help though.
Thank you so much for this info! Youve earn my sub.
My G9 was defect for three months because Samsung had no parts to repair it. And then i got it back with milky like display and a deep scratch/hole on the outer layer of the display.

Thanks!
Love the honesty
This is specifically for the Odyssey OLED G95, the menu of the OLED G93 is completely different and doesn't have game mode for example.
Just picked it up today.
Just chiming in about the cable.
When I initially got the monitor and set it up with my 30ft display port (specific requirements in my workstation unfortunately), the patchy white flickers were very consistent and persistent on anything above 60hz (120 or 240). Toning that down to 60hz (i know) alleviates most of it alongside disabling gsync. I still get them occasionally but it definitely IS the cable.
In my first couple weeks with it, I did try it with a much shorter cable and the flickering was nonexistent in the 4-6 hours I was using it. IF it did flicker, it wasn't enough to even notice. Im just putting this out here since there's also some issues with QA reported all over the place including the DP port issue that causes these flickering.
Otherwise, for my use case needing a single 30ft cable, I'm okay to sacrifice hz for it, but cannot reiterate from the video that the cables indeed matter. I'm still in search for a REALLY good cable capable of the travel and diminished bandwidth but will settle for the 60hz limitation in the meantime.
My second one is flawless on a much shorter cable.
@@jeggzzzz if I were you I would look into active cables if you haven’t already, or cables with a built in amplifier to amplify the signal. Usually anything over 15 feet will cause a loss of bandwidth, especially when you’re pushing 5120x1440 at high refresh rates, but an active cable will keep the signal strong the whole way through hopefully allowing for you to utilize the full 240hz
@@chettystudios I used to use them before and they tend to fail since it has an extra thing to it. So I'll keep an eye out for better ones, but I'm totally fine with the 60hz, but thank you very much for the reminder! :)
Love the video can't wait to try out the settings you gave! Just got it last week, never had an OLED before, and I have been searching and searching for answer to this but, what can be done about the heat it outputs, mine usually sits around 95-105, with a peak of 110F on a hot spot, can not seem to find a solution for this, or if this is just normal/okay
I've never checked the temp from mine so not sure what's considered normal but I do notice it gives off quite a bit of heat in the back. Just to be safe I would reach out to Samsung to make sure that's not out of the norm, but as long as it has enough room to breathe I would say its okay
This video was amazing. Extremely thorough. One question for ya though: With your settings, do you have HDR constantly turned on on your monitor and just adjust SDR brightness in windows, or do you switch HDR on when about to game? I ask mostly because it seems with windows SDR never truly looks good with HDR constantly on, no matter how much you adjust that brightness bar, so i usually only turn HDR on when gaming. Am i doing it wrong?
No the way you do it is actually how most people tend to use it! I personally just keep it on but I've seen many people suggest setting up a hot key to turn it on and off when gaming
G9 is absolutely massive
Why are so many hipsters so cold they need to wear so many beanies? Do they not have an HVAC in their trailered Tiny House they've nicknamed Elvira?
This video is great, brother. My monitor looks a lot better now and I am getting more out of my 4090 RTX. My only issue now is to know why my FireFox using the new AI-Upscale video to HDR quality, nor under windows-dysplay-advenced-display settings the HDR certification still says "Not found;" Peak brightness is at 490 nits.

Great tutorial thanks :)
Sorry quick question are you saying I should run the display port cable and hdmi or just one? I just got mine today and want to get the most out of it as the game I’m running now is only getting me 80frames
whichever works best, most people have the least issues with HDMI 2.1
@@chettystudios thankyou. Currently running a new hdmi cord and it’s much smoother
Great settings for initial setup. I ran Windows calibration and I think I got it close without a true calibration. Funny you mention Displayport. On my 4070ti I have so many danged Displayports. I just used the provided 6' Displayport cable, plugged it right in. No issues, 240Hz and Gsync (compatible). My only issue: 32:9 is a stupid ratio. I'm going to give a bit more time, but so far, nope.
Hey glad the DP is working! Don't blame you, I go back and forth constantly on the 32:9. Somedays I love it, others I wish I had gone 21:9.
I swear I tried, but unless I'm playing games 24/7, it doesn't do much for productivity. I deal with spreadsheets and many "vertical" apps. Returned it and since I can't find anything that big in "monitors", I went with a 55" QN90C at 120Hz. I will say, gaming on the G9 was on another level though. It is the most beautiful display I've ever used. Ever. If they ever make it in a 21:9, I'll pre-order. Its that nice.
You deserve tons more subs!
Thanks so much for the settings tips. Mine arrives tomorrow. I got a really good sale price and Im hoping with the help of your videos that I dont run into too many issues. Question. Does it come with a good HDMI 2.1 cable or do you recommend getting one from a 3rd party?
Enjoy it! It really is a great monitor when working properly. It should come with the HDMI 2.1, so if it’s long enough for you you should be all set
Thanks so much for the follow up and sharing the settings. I will be installing mine today so I discovered this video right on time. Any thoughts using on the "upgrade files"/Firmware version (USB Type) and drivers available on the product support page? I went for the G93SC without the SmartTv features.
I’ve only updated it from the OS on the monitor but if g93sc doesn’t have this feature I would definitely update them via USB
@@chettystudios Thanks, it turned out that mine was already updated luckily. My whole setup process was without any issue and took me a couple of hours to get everything working perfectly. I am using displayport. My only gripes are that coresync lighting doesnt work via displayport and that the G93 doesnt have user profiles. But other than that everything is great and all the games I tried work fine at this resolution. (GTA V, FO 4, RDR2, Elden Ring (with modengine).
Display Port setup is a **** to get to work, at least it was for me.
The only way i got it to work, and trust me i went and did most anything in settings and stuff, incl. calling Samsung Support, was to hook up another DP monitor to my PC and connect the G9 using BOTH HDMI and DP slots, so effectively connecting it TWICE. I have no idea as to why it works, but it did.
For people that can use this setup to get your G9 to work, great, just don't ask my why it works.
Ps5?
you mentioned resetting the panel and having to redownload the firmware, does that mean the factory reset restores the original firmware the monitor came with? I'm trying to roll back to it but i don't remember what number it was and i don't want to risk bricking the screen downloading a wrong one from the internet
Yeah when I reset it, it reset to the factory firmware and then downloaded the newest version when connected to internet

That’s a good question, not technically that I’m aware of, but the settings do save to game mode and non-game mode separately so you could always use game mode off for the Mac and game mode on for the gaming rig and it should act like two different profiles if I’m not mistaken

@@user-ux3jp9oo7r I think yes go for it
@@user-ux3jp9oo7r it depends on if you use a lot of static elements. For gaming you're probably fine, but if you do a lot of work with the same tabs open all day long it will definitely burn in eventually. Possibly under 4 years if those static elements like a spread sheet are all you ever have up for long hours every day.
Also, Best Buy offers a warranty that covers burn in if that will help you make your decision, I'm not too certain the exact details but might be worth looking into
Amazing video(s), thank you! Would I please need to adjust some settings in Nvidia Control Panel as well? (3080 ti)
Thanks! You shouldn't have to, but I would double check resolution and refresh rate are set properly.
Hey, building my 1st PC. I already have the Asus Rog Strix 4090, waiting on the parts. Should I opt for a different monitor with that card? I would like to play in 4k but if this monitor is nearly the same as, well. What do you think. Breat review btw. Thank you. All the other reviews are so “nearly sponsored” and reddit is so the opposite it’s hard to get a read.
In my opinion this one because oled just looks so damn good. But your clearly want to spend money on this setup so Samsungs newest neo is this but in 4k, it’s 7680x2160 so 2 4k monitors beside each other, it’s around $3k I believe but if you really want resolution it’s great. I still personally recommend this one though there’s really nothing that comes close to oled in terms of quality.
I second that I would definitely stick with OLED. If 4k is what you’re looking for there’s also quite a few coming out/already released this year in the 32” variant if you’re not already 100% set on UW that are worth taking a look at as well
If you can afford both, for the 4090 I'd recommend 65" or 77" 16:9 4K OLED that can do 120hz, for big screen/couch gaming. And for gaming with a mouse/keyboard at a desk, go with this G9 as you can't beat the 240Hz and superultrawide 5120x1440 32:9 resolution. Personally for gaming, I do prefer the extra width especially for FPS and strategy games, however for more cinematic games or 3rd person games, I like the big TV and additional vertical resolution. The pixel density from 1440p vs 4k is noticeable, however it's not a huge deal even sitting close to the monitor, it's a much wider gap from 1080p to 1440p. 4k does offer that bit of extra clarity, especially on a small monitor to where anti-aliasing type in games doesn't really matter anymore, but the extra width is a lot more immersive as the screen fills your whole field of view which does kinda suck you into the game when sitting close in a way a TV can't.
If you really wanna hold out for a true 4K 32:9 OLED monitor, rumors are that next year Samsung will release an OLED with that ungodly double 4k resolution of 7680x2160, as they currently have a 57" monitor with that res but it's still a QLED/MicroLED type of tech. That said, that's probably about 9 months to a year out from now, but in either case that res would even bring a 4090 to it's knees, as it would be half the FPS of 4K.... The 5090 should be out by then though and may be a perfect match.
I purchased one do you think it’s a waste of money because it’s not 4K?
@@saiddone2656 no
So, I bought the Samsung G9 49 OLED screen, and I have one issue. I use a DP to USB C cable for my Windows and MacBook Pro laptops, but the sound is not working. The screen can't output sound. I tried HDMI to HDMI on my Windows laptop, and still, no sound from the screen.
Do you know what is the problem?
hi. you mic sound realy good...other tihing.. why didn't you put the hole name of the monitor. because there are a lot ot them from 800 to 3000 dollars . so you monitor probobly not the same as mine..
Thank you so much for this helpful video! In the multi view screen, I would like to put Samsung TV playing on one side and have my computer screen shown on the other half. I was able to do this by customizing the multi view settings. However, I cannot seem to put Samsung TV on the right half of the screen. I can only put Samsung TV on the left side of the screen. When I try to manually place it on the right side by putting my computer screen on the left side, the monitor disables (dims) the Samsung TV so I can't select it to show it on the right side. Do you happen to know how to fix this by any chance?
I don't unfortunately. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the ABL but then it wouldn't make sense why it only happens on one side. Best of luck!
Hey there... amm I bought it due to your video and thanks... tho I have a lot of issues that you help me fix.. one issue that I can't fix yet is the fact that it turn off every 20-30min ones or 3 times...
This sounds like a faulty cable, I would try a new higher quality one.
Hey man, great video. I wanna buy a monitor to game it. Do you recommend this monitor for an Xbox series X?
Thanks! And no, consoles don't support ultrawide so you would either have a very stretched image or be forced to only use the center in 16x9 mode. I would recommend an OLED TV for console gaming such as the LG c4
I don't have that panel, I can just change settings from the buttons of the monitor....hi do you access that panel?
What settings do you use for the Windows HDR calibration tool? I didn't see you go over it in the video.
I have the G9 OLED as well and use 0/1000/400 but not sure if that's correct.
I can't remember exactly but i think mine was 0/1000/1000
For the peak brightness not working right... I was looking for oled G8 settings and people said that if you turn off the game HDR and turn on HDR10+ it produces a much brighter image. Might work with the G9 as well.
I tried these, use HDMI 2.1, turn off HD10+ gaming and Game HDR to basic. 980 nits for my setting
Great video, man. I have the Samsung G95 that uses a VA panel, it also had some issues when I began to use it, thankfully the firmware fixed most of these. omg, why can't Samsung fix those before selling. I want to update my old one to the new OLED G9, but seeing all these issues that you had, I think I will wait for the next-gen because someone said maybe all these problems are caused by the DSC, display stream compression, I hope the next-gen OLED G9 could have the DP2.0 so no more DSC may cause fewer problems. I want to use G9 OLED most of the time for text editing, is that a good choice? Because someone said the ABL can be very unpleasant to eyes
The ABL doesn't bother me as much as the text fringing would for something like text editing. Its still not a HUGE issue but I can imagine it causing some eye strain if I was looking at text all day. Typically WOLED panels deal with this better so I would look for something that uses that!
@@chettystudios Thanks bro
Zero issues here on G9 OLED, and I've had mine since day 1 on launch so it's been almost 10 months. It works fine on HDMI 2.1 with a good cable, the displayport cable isn't ideal though as you can't easily hit as high of a refresh rate. HDMI 2.1 cable works fine. I've had no issues with HDR or G-Sync/VRR on this monitor, it simply just works. Which is interesting, as the 49" first gen G9 I had with the VA panel was basically impossible to get HDR working on, but HDR is worthless anyway on anything other than OLED or maybe really high-end QLEDs.
That said, my biggest complaint is the TV interface, it's laggy garbage. If you do decide to the get the OLED, definitely go with the cheaper one that lacks smart TV features. Will save you $200 and plenty of headache from the shitty slow interface.

Im using a Nvidia 3060 Laptop GPU. I dont see the Display Settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. How can I open that menu? Any ideas?
I applied your recommendations here on my new Samsung G9 OLED S49CG932SN, which for some reason does not come with a remote and has a different UI, setting names yet seems to have the same specs as the one here. Like for instance, it only has three levels of color scales to change on RGB instead of the 6 you have here.
With the settings here applied (except I kept color settings at 0,0,0) with HDR on and Auto HDR off. I don’t understand why we would want that off? With that off, each time I open a game now, instead of automatically applying HDR to the game, I get a pop up informing me that HDR is available but Off and it would benefit having it on. 😅
There's 2 models of the G9 OLED, one with the "smart" features and interface and one without. I believe the one you have is without, which is why there's no remote/settings are a bit different but the panel itself should be the same.
For the Auto HDR I had mine off because it's purpose is to take SDR content and apply a new tone map to give it an HDR look, and although it does a good job most of the time, for the sake of keeping things standard while setting things up I didn't want it to apply any "effects" on top of the image. You can definitely mess around with this once the monitor is set up as it may make some SDR content look better, just keep in mind that Windows is applying a new tone map, on top of the tone map you've already set on the monitor, so if things do start to look oversaturated or highlights blown out that's the reason.
The most common complaints I've seen is that it makes certain programs/software while not gaming look blown out and oversaturated and the common fix for this is setting up a hotkey to turn it on/off when using it for gaming/not gaming.
I hate this monitor for movie watching. It keeps disconnecting switching around settings in the menu.
Have you experienced any burn in yet?
I use the monitor with DP1.4 no issues so far here.
What about adaptive sync? I got the cheaper non smart version, and the settings look a little different, but I just have doubt with adaptive-sync. If it's on, I can't use my macbook wot the full resolution or refresh rate, if it's off, I can use it with 5120 x 1440 and 240hz refresh rate, but I don't know if it is a good decision to turn it off
it really just helps with screen tearing, so if you have no issues with it off then you're good to go

@@chettystudios Not experiencing this issue.
Hi, I recently purchased this monitor, and your videos have been very helpful. However, the screen was glitching, and the monitor’s OS indicated a port issue. Samsung’s customer service was unable to diagnose the problem. Following your suggestion, I tried using HDMI 2.1 cables, which so far seem to have resolved the issues.
But I have two questions for you before I decide whether to return the monitor:
1. Since getting the monitor, it has been making a popping noise while in use. Did yours do that?
2. When I first received my monitor, every time I powered it on, the screen would display “Samsung Odyssey OLED”. Now, it only shows the shutting down animation when I turn it on. Is this normal behavior after a while, or is my unit faulty?
Thank you!
Glad the cable helped! I forgot to mention I too had the port issue indication when running the troubleshooter in the OS at first.
For the popping, this isn’t something I’ve experienced but I would definitely email Samsung about it to make sure it’s just the speakers turning on and not something more serious like a faulty power supply or something that could catch fire over time.
And as for the power on, this is normal, I don’t see any text on screen when powering it on, just the horizontal “shutter” effect if the PC is already turned on and a blue screen if the PC is just being turning on and waking the monitor from rest until I get Windows Login Screen
Guys my G9 oled has two different colors when i use split screen on the same pc always the right side has washed colors any way to fix that?
So you can change the white balance while in HDR mode on this monitor??
everytime i turn a game off the screen shut itself off.
I dont understand I have no remote with my G9 Oled and not the same software even after the update ?!?
You must have the G93SC model, this is the G95SC. The biggest difference is this model has the “smart” features and a remote, but the panel itself is the same.
Not sure if you’ve used one but if you have question for you. If you had a C2 would you recommend this monitor or stick with what a C2????
I haven't used the C2 but I have the C3 which is basically the same but it really depends on use case.
If I were primarily PC gaming (especially with keyboard and mouse) I would prefer the G9 for higher refresh rates in competitive games and the ultrawide experience in single player.
But for console gaming/controller playing I would prefer the C3 since it's 4k and it's a little too tall to be playing keyboard and mouse
@@chettystudios it’s for PC with a 3080TI.
I’m on a 3060ti and i am having really low refresh rate, compared to my 165hz msi monitor. Any advice?
Since it's essentially the equivalent of running two 1440p monitors it will definitely be taking up a lot more resources than a standard 16x9 1440p monitor, so I would either look to upgrade the GPU or go with a less demanding display
Dumb question - I have a G93SC connected to a Windows mini PC, to have the screen just turn off after a period do I just go into Power Settings on my PC? Or do I have to mess with the OSD? It has a Panel Care screensaver after 2 mins as I understand it but I want a fully blacked out low power state which will automatically turn on when I mess with the mouse/keyboard. Cheers.
Not a dumb question! You'll have to set it on the PC to turn off the screen after a certain amount of time, and I believe with this display you'll get a countdown timer then the screen will go into standby mode
How is this vs a 4k 32" ips? I'm looking into OLED but I'm afraid the vertical resolution and sharpness compared to 4k makes me regret it
There are quite a bit of 32” 4k OLED’s out at the moment so you could always look at those.
Personally when I went from 4k to 1440p, specifically when gaming, I don’t really notice the resolution difference. However, in menus/surfing the web/etc I definitely can.
Is it possible to split the screen into two equal parts using a single source? I want my laptop to see two separate screens in Windows settings. (2 x 1440p monitors).

Yeah for 1440p its 240hz, 120 is @ 4k
Bro why does my monitor stay black when exiting a game such as over watch any tips?
@@huicho50able turn on windowed borderless instead of full screen. It’s a known issue with any monitor that uses DSC unfortunately
@@chettystudios ended up switching to hdmi and all my problems are gone but seems ill never be able to use dp on my g9 unfortunately

Hi! I would like to ask you if it's possible to use this monitor with a laptop with a good GPU (at least the RTX 4060 for laptop) for gaming. Because of my job, I travel a lot, so I am planning to buy a laptop for gaming instead of a PC and I would like to buy a 32:9 monitor for playing video games when I am at home. I am not sure if this will work. Thank you so much for the video :)
This is a premium monitor so you will need a premium graphics card. The lowest you want to go to play high refresh rate at 1440p is a 4080 and even then its not that fast because its the laptop version but it is comparable to the 4070 Super desktop GPU
You saved me from getting it, I have a 2070Ti and it sounds like it just won't cut it. :/
Yeah I mean people have said they use it via Display Port but everybody I know personally that owns it has issues. Plus considering that the 5120 x 1440 resolution is almost equivalent to running 4k, the 2070ti might have a tough time utilizing the high refresh rate of the monitor. I would take a look at some of the newer OLEDs coming out this year though!
Hi,
How did you get the 240 Hz to work? for some reason my control panel doesnt get the 240 hz refresh rate
I believe it needs to be in game mode if you haven't set it to that already
I can’t alt+tab normally on my new monitor. Have black screen every time. It seems to be connected with 240 refresh rate and HDR. But I really don’t want to use it without 240hz and hdr.
Did someone faced the same issue? Have you found a fix?
Yeah that’s a common issue with a lot of these monitors that use Display Stream Compression in order to utilize high refresh rates. Unfortunately only fix as of now is play in windowed borderless
@@chettystudios that’s a bummer. Maybe will return it back then…
Is there another model of ultrawide oled which is working better?
Maybe G93SC works better?
@@anicomx4 It's all about compatibility with the GPU. Nvidia has stated it's a known issue and they're working on a fix for it but its been quite a while and still no fix.
No matter the brand or model, at such high refresh rates and resolution DSC is going to need to be used, and unfortunately it just isn't a 100% perfected technology yet.
Hi guys
Any calibration online?for g9 oled?
1:35 i would actually disagree copy someone who has actually used a colormeter to measure the inaccuracy and do what he does , sure panels are different from one another but unless if you know how to use a colormeter which im intersted in learning if you could get me a resource that explains it in a video that would be great but thats the only shot of acutally getting acurate colors
I would just look up a guide on buying/using colorimeters but they’re pretty expensive for a one time use so I know they’re available for rent at some local photo/video stores as well if there’s any around
I just sold it cause my head hurts from it
Thanks for your Video. Mine G9 worked fine for a few Days but now i can only choose up to 120hz and i have no Idea why + don´t know how to change it. Anyone knows this Issue?
If you have the “smart” version (the one with the remote) check to make sure game mode is enabled. Otherwise it may be an issue within windows or graphics software.
@@chettystudios Game Mode is on. Will try with G-Sync + VRR off
@@chettystudios Tried everything in the Smartmenu and disabled Gsync in WIndows. Nothing helps. Any other Ideas?
I have this monitor and no matter what cable I use or settings I change it has screen cutting, flickering, and more. At this point Samsung is taking it back snd refunding me. For an almost 2k dollar monitor you shouldn’t have to jump through these hoops to get it to work
I totally agree, it should work right out of the box, no questions asked. If I didn't like it so much once I got mine working, I would have done the same.
mine didnt come with a remote?
we probably have different models
What cable did you get ? Link pls

is there downsides of using a converter on G8 monitor from regular dp to mini dp
I'm not sure but converters are something I've been looking into and try to find a way to test if you lose any quality.
In theory you shouldn't lose quality but I'm not sure how the graphics card then registers the cable and handles things like DSC (display stream compression) so its a bit out of my knowledge but definitely something I've been trying to look into, just such a niche thing its hard to find some solid data
@@chettystudios Thank you for your reply my friend. I have another question. I returned the g8 Monitor and bought a screen like yours, but now I am facing the problem of the random black screen. Have you found any solution to this problem? i have dp cable cuz I searched the internet and saw that the HDMI cable does not support 240 Hz.
@@Guitaro.o yes I use hdmi 2.1 which supports 240hz
Does it matter if your using the port that says pc on it? Idk if it will affect anything
I'm not sure which one that is but all ports should work on PC
@@chettystudios it's labeled pc on the port and it's c type.
