** NEW SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7/G9 MONITORS 27-49" AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER **

Well my G9 is being collected on Monday, 20mm light bleed and a strange mark/fleck on the screen. Gutted but kind of expected it having sifted through this thread. Really looking forward to owning a fault free one at some point!
 
Mine was collected today :(

shame 1 issue meant it had to back. Waiting for a refund then will order another as soon as I see one in stock. It’a a killer monitor and willing to have patience until I get a fault-free one.
 
Just out of curiosity, have any of you noticed prominent overdrive artefacts at 120/240Hz with adaptive sync on (like when something like the side of a building is going past against the sky)? I’m trying to figure out if it is an issue with just my monitor or an issue in general? I’m going to play with the settings with adaptive sync off to see if I can minimise the issue.

What is your overdrive set to with adaptive sync off? I had to change it to normal/standard (can't remember what it's called), then put adaptive sync back on, that sorted out my problems.

Great summary above. I had similar experiences, and found point 4) the most annoying by far for me! So you are not the only one with that issue.

Add to this though that i also had a dead pixel in the middle left of the screen. So frustrating as in my mind, there is no excuse for this as it can be seen with the naked eye and should even be automatically spotted at the factory by a high resolution camera during QC before the screen panel is even fitted inside the monitor frame. What they would rather do is save a few bucks and ship it out anyway and hope you just accept the flaws.

I would even pay a premium for a screen which guaranteed coming with no dead pixels. Same as they bin CPUs why cant they bin screens.

I'm with you 100%

I had a cluster of dead pixels on mine. Absolutely horrid. I thought those days were over. It had to go back.
 
Place where I bought mine from has confirmed the fault (light bleeding through the bezel) and have given me a refund as there's no solid date on when new stock will be received.

Doesn't seem to be anywhere at the moment with these in stock. Anybody got an August revision of the G9?

The place I bought mine from didn't even respond with any status of the fault, I just got the cash back straight away.
 
They tested mine and confirmed the flickering fault and then processed refund. They said they hadn't heard anything from Samsung on the status of the G9s, and he was trying to flog me an LG monitor instead...I politely declined...:)
 
Let us know how these new units from August etc... go in terms of issues please, if any one gets a replacement that is. Really looking forward to getting one, got my heart set on it in fact, but not with the current issues. Thanks in advance :)

So, when adaptive sync is off and I have "Response Time"="Standard" and "Low Input Lag"="On" there are no overdrive artefacts, in fact, I haven't noticed any tearing either, so I might just leave it at that setting. The issue is when adaptive sync is on - I wish I could modify the response time with adaptive sync on.

Do you still get issues with overdrive set to standard and then putting adaptive sync on? I know reviews state you can't change the overdrive with adaptive sync on but you can before you turn on overdrive in the settings.

That's what I did on my g9. Oddly I also found the screen better to use with adaptive sync off as it just wouldn't work. Might be a driver issue with my 5700xt, but it was far far smoother with freesync off.

I have gone for the LG 38” as an alternative and I have to be honest - I’m really really impressed. I think I might actually prefer it!

I can see that is a bit tempting, rather than gambling with retailers and Samsung..

but doesn’t it feel a bit inadequate after having 49 inches at higher resolution? I would feel like I’m wasting my gpu not having another g9.
