Samsung Odyssey G9 G91SD LS49DG912SUXEN OLED Curved

I was looking for a 49" display to replace my two 27" screens. After a short search for a large screen without an exaggerated curve, I ended up with this monitor.

The OLED panel beautifully displays the colors and deep black tones. For gaming and productivity, this is a must in my opinion, also because of the software options.

With the PbP (Picture by Picture) mode it is possible to split the screen into 2 outputs. For example, you can connect an Xbox and your PC at the same time and display them each on one half of the screen. I also personally think Windows works better on 2 separate screens (tabs, mail, Teams, etc.) because you can easily make these applications full screen without it becoming very wide. By connecting both the DP and HDMI connections to your PC, you can simulate this. The monitor then works exactly as if it were two separate screens.

All in all, a must for anyone looking for a large screen without too much of a curve!

Something always breaks when we move, and unfortunately, this time it was my previous Samsung super ultrawide. So I had to look for a new monitor, which always comes with high expectations in this price range, so I didn't want to rush into a new one. After much deliberation, I went with this Samsung monitor, and I haven't regretted it yet!

I was a bit apprehensive about going with an OLED monitor, because burn-in is always a concern, but with the warranty and the fact that my previous monitor had survived for five years (even though it was a QLED, not an OLED), I wanted to put it to the test.

The screen is huge and well-packaged. The box is almost as big as my girlfriend (standing upright), so getting it to the right place was quite a challenge. Be sure to keep the box and the Styrofoam, because if you ever move, it's very difficult to find something with the right dimensions—I speak from experience.

The image quality is excellent, with no dead pixels, blacks, and good contrast. The maximum brightness of OLED is a bit of a problem, and this screen doesn't go extremely high. Even with the brightness set to 35/50 (I don't set it too high to avoid burn-in), this is a truly beautiful screen. The colors are fantastic when gaming, and it makes my previous screen look completely washed out.

I wanted to use my VESA mount, but installing it was a nightmare: the screws would barely fit into the holes, and it took me an hour to get it installed and the screws into the holes. Samsung really needs to rethink this mounting method, as this was a pain with my previous screen as well.

All in all, this is a beautiful screen, a nice upgrade from my previous one. Although I do miss an extra DisplayPort connection, I see little reason to complain: it's a beautiful screen, it does what it's supposed to do, and while the price is quite steep, I think it's more than worth it.

I would definitely buy it again.

Great wide screen, beautiful image, a feast
