Samsung Odyssey 49" OLED G9 G95SC

I got this monitor on monday spent last 2 days gaming as off work... ITs going back once my Alienware 32in 4k OLED arrives on friday. this Samsung is just awful , but only awful for the constant black screens , freezing games. so many cables tested , unplugging and plugging back in Dp and HDMI cables, setting from 32.9 to 16.9 ratio 80% of the time fixed the issue but playing online like BOPs 6 was just a no go when it would freeze and then black screen. unpluging power for 3-8 mins worked. i just cant keep doing this. disable gsync , disable game mode and use it as 120hz still caused issues. on latest firmware. Paid £850 with Birthday code direct. got the Alienware 32 4k 240hz for £70 less and thats with the 3 year exchange pro thats also on offer. Ive got the bigger brother 57in samsung thats used for sim racing so its not like im missing out just the 57in is fixed at 120hz and not the advertised 240hz due to having RTX4090 120hz is fine for racing sims. aldo wish i had got the 93 and not the 95 a the tv menu really spoils this monitor. its amazing to look at and screen is great but the txt is really iffy also.

Sorry to hear that. A lot of people had the black screens but I think the latest firmware helped. I havent had any with my G93.
 
I had to buy a decent hdmi cable, but after that it was fine for me. I had an expensive belkin cable but the solution was a reasonably priced “Gioteck 8k HDMI Cable For PS5 & Xbox Series X/S” which they had in stock at a local supermarket
