Samsung Odyssey 49" OLED G9 G95SC

[Personality+]

Looks like the release date is potentially sometime this summer.

My dream monitor for the year.​

​

****************************UPDATED BELOW WITH NEW INFO *************************

• If you switch between Mini hdmi or hdmi you will lose your calibration settings you changed on the monitor itself make sure you're using an HDMI 2.1 certified cable and you can set the monitor to up to 12bit colour (10 bit recommended for default calibration settings for now) same applies to display port but lacks the 12 bit option.
• If you have any jagged or pixelated text, do the below to try and fix the issue

Make sure you have GeForce Experience first and update drivers.Go to Windows Display Setting>Nvidia Control panel>Adjust Desktop Size>Scaling Tab>Scaling Mode:
select "No Scaling" or "Full-Screen" (I selected No Scaling). Perform Scaling on: select "GPU", select "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs">Size Tab: Resize the desktop...
: select "Enable desktop resizing", select "Do not report"It is only after this that my computer display/graphics were back to normal and I was able to open applications without fear that my text would go jagged/pixilated.

So if anyone here experiences the jagged/pixelated text, it may have automatically turned some of this stuff on. This should save you thinking you've got a faulty monitor.

• If you need calibration settings and ICC profile please pm me and I'll email you : or maybe similar settings are now available on google or reddit. I paid for access to them and donated a small amount so don't feel ok publicly sharing and denying the original user some form of compensation for their work, but if I share with less than 20 people he's not lost out, based on my original donation amount.

note that calibrating this correctly makes a huge change to the overall colour balance and picture quality across most games. Some games can still feel a little dull (Monza in F1 2023) but night races are incredible... so it's not perfect for every situation but it's vastly superior to whatever default settings you'd be running and of course you can tweak further for your own preferences, but it's a good base to start from.

• If you have flickering (I don't have a fix for this yet)

I switched monitors trying to get a better deal and discovered the new monitor has no flickering issues using youtube or other apps, not sure what the cause of this was as otherwise the panel was exactly the same. Maybe this is a possible return reason, as no issues on current display to mention yet.

For those looking for settings, you can also try mine and check out the review here at TFTCentral

Oof! That is looking niiiiiiiiiiice

Love the G8 design anyhow, glad they've carried it over.

Yeah I don't know what it's going to cost though. I'm assuming just below 2K

 

[Personality+]

Yeah they need to keep this below £2k for sure for it to sell well, but it's a 10yr monitor easy!!

They've been surprisingly quiet about it since CES at the start of the year though. No one knows a price or release date, just speculation. Just hope it delivers in build quality and performance and I'll be very happy.

 

[Personality+]

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of this, glad to finally see something new about it.

Same here, unfortunately looks like I'll be getting my PC before this monitor is even announced with a release date. Just start saving now as the price will be eye watering.

 

[Personality+]

Shame only 1440p. If it were 1600p or 2160p, would be an instant buy for me.

57" model Will cover that but only amd top line latest gpu supports it display port 2.1 for now.

 

[Personality+]

Might be an upgrade from my Odyssey G9, hopefully no build issues with the new ones! Will wait for reviews lol

Yeah it's a massive upgrade from any current G9 considering its QD-OLED. Unless they mess this up badly I'll be a guinea pig for this one.

 

[Personality+]

IDK about these huge 1440p dream monitors

I ordered a refurbished alienware qd oled today. Lord have mercy on my gambling ways, It was 500 off and 1 year warranty

Guess it depends what you're after. I see it fulfilling all my gaming needs. If I want to play at 2560x1440 for certain titles and lose the rest of the screen I can. If I want the insane widescreen experience when supported I'll get that as well. Until I own it I won't know if I'll have buyers remorse or my mind blown.

But it'll be the biggest monitor upgrade of my life as I've never owned an oled TV or monitor yet. Just my S21 Ultra for a similar experience.

Asus have also announced a monitor based on this panel.

144hz though? So may be a better deal for some people. I want that 240hz.

At least more choices for the consumer then. Especially if it's priced competitively.

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9: Retailer shares release timeline and pricing for QD-OLED gaming monitor

A retailer has revealed European pricing for the Odyssey OLED G9, a 49-inch ultra-wide-angle monitor with a 1440p resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate. The same retailer also appears to have disclosed the monitor's release window and is already accepting pre-orders.

[Personality+]

Well if that's the expected price I'll need to start saving up as I still have a PC to buy 1st. Would be happy to see it land at 2k sterling if possible.

 

[Personality+]

Wasnt the G9 neo around 1600?! Might wait until Black Friday lol

Good shout. Guess I'll have to see how much I'm willing to bleed if the release is actually within late Q3.

It's up on Samsung store for £2k, via EPP it's £1800 with a 2tb portable drive thrown in.

Not too bad really....

So exactly what I expected to be fair.

Well I've got my gaming PC now and I'm using a basic 27" 144hz ips at the moment with this purchase in mind

 

[Personality+]

anyone else pre-ordered?

I'm considering it, but no idea about warranty for burn in etc.

No point paying all this money to be left with little buyer protection.

 

[Personality+]

I'm waiting for more info about warranty too before ordering

Well after seeing the video review above they seem to have some built in anti burn in features.

Not really sure what I want now I have a 27" in use in front of me, and it's pretty much perfect from where I sit.

Glossy OLED and no fringing issues... if the burn in prevention measures actually work well, then this monitor will sell well long term.

 

[Personality+]

It’s no more or less glossy than the 34” QDOLED monitors, which I don’t think you could really idconsider glossy. It’s a hybrid coating, somewhere in the middle.

Ah just what I kept hearing from all the videos, have you tried the monitor or are making use of one at the moment?

 

[Personality+]

anyone else pre-ordered?

Unfortunately couldn't get access to the two offers I encountered that reduced the price nicely, so I'll likely end up with a 27" or 34" OLED but we will see.

 

[Personality+]

I'm sorry but you can't go from severely wanting TF out of this and then just going down to a 27/34. Worth waiting a bit for a pricedrop when it hits general retail imo, you'll regret TF out of it!!!

To be fair when I posted this I hadn't got my desk yet, or gaming pc. Now that I have 27" is actually adequate for my seating distance. Of course having the equivalent of two 27" monitors in front of me would be insane. I could cough up the 2K just reluctant to do so when I've seen it priced 300 lower for those with access to such deals.

For example the Alienware 34" oled is 630-770 depending on what deals you get... quite the cost savings as well, and I'm sure would fulfill my needs adequately.

You are right this would still be my no.1 choice but I want to get rid of my basic va panel. I got it just to have a screen available for when I got my pc. If I could get access to one of the deal prices I'd bite.

 

[Personality+]

Fair enough, not like the AW 34 is a bad choice esp at that pricing.

The Samsung is back on the cards after my 1k deposit seems to let me apply without issue today for 0% finance.

Last time I tried it didn't recognise my info

Once I'm home and have access to my passport etc for the verification checks, then I may get it on 26th
