This monitor is absolutely beautiful. I pause every now and then to just appreciate the curved screen while working. It provides multiple configurations, one of which allows you split the monitor in half and work on two computers. I’m just a little bit worried about durability because a few times, a vertical line of dead pixels has appeared on the screen and I hard to restart the monitor to get rid of it.

I ordered this as an ‘open box’ item in ‘like new’ condition. The product was received in it’s original packaging and wasn’t missing any pieces. There were some VERY MINIMAL scratches to the very top bezel but you can’t see them when sitting in front of the monitor, and even if you’re looking for them they’re hard to see. I would say I am very satisfied with the price that I paid and the condition that I received the monitor in.
The screen quality is AMAZING, the refresh rate and color quality are insane and the field of view in most video games feels almost like a cheat. It’s also great for work, I work in IT so I often have many VM’s, programs, and remote connections open on my device at the same time, this monitor makes it INCREDIBLY easy to multitask and switch between windows.
If you’re a fan of having a lot of desktop space then this monitor beats the hell out of having 2 separate monitors. If you’re considering this for work as well as gaming then I’m here to tell you that the price is absolutely worth it.
Attached is a picture of League of Legends on this monitor, look at that and tell me that this monitor doesn’t give you a tactical advantage when playing games!

Heavy, and enormous so be ready for that when you’re considering desk space. Definitely saves on wires and space because of its dual screen/consoles capabilities. I can browse the Internet or listen to music on my PC while I play my PS5 on the same screen

I’d been eyeballing one of these Odyssey G9’s for some time, so I finally picked one up. I’ll say this – it’s an amazing experience to both work and play games on such an ultrawide screen. I simply love it. The colors are great, too. I get no screen tearing, games are fluid (driving this monitor with an Nvidia 3090ti), and working on it is amazing. Text is nice and sharp, too. Simply love this monitor.
So, then, why give it only 4 stars?
The monitor came with one stuck pixel. I contacted Amazon about getting a replacement and was told that the only real option I had was to send this one back first, await my refund, and then order another one. That wasn’t going to work for me since I needed this for work and simply can’t take off several days while this was all sorted out. Fortunately, the stuck pixel is not always noticeable and near the bottom edge of the screen.
Secondly, while sliding the monitor back on my desk, two of the rubber feet on the display stand simply came off. I had to lift up this monitor to stick them back on. At this price point, I’d expect the rubber feet to adhere a bit better then that … at least enough to allow me to slide the monitor a bit if I need to access the back or re-adjust it’s position on my desk.
Despite these two things, I really love this monitor.

Bought it on May 18, 2024, it popped loudly then died on November 9, 2024. HAD a beautiful picture, everything nice everybody else has already said, I was really enjoying it. Fired up the computer this morning, nothing different or changed in months, started a game that I normally play and heard a “pop” through the speakers and the monitor went black. There was no power outage, it’s on a UPS so even if so that wouldn’t affect it, everything else running fine still. Turned off all power, unplugged everything from UPS so it had zero power, let it sit unpowered for a couple of minutes, plugged all back in, fired up and the screen is black. Made sure that I repowered using the power button on the monitor, and it wasn’t having any of it. It’s a dead parrot after only, what, just shy of SIX MONTHS.
A “high quality” monitor from Samsung, a normally reliable company, shouldn’t be having issues like this so quickly. Usually when I buy Samsung it’s for life, so to speak, meaning I stop using the products when I upgrade to something else years later. It’s too late for me to refund on Amazon, however Samsung tech support offered to troubleshoot it assuming I ship it back (who keeps an original box/Styrofoam for something this monstrously big longer than a few weeks? Not I), so now the quest begins to find a huge non-standard sized box and twenty gallons of Styrofoam peanuts and do all the fun manual and time consuming work that goes into sending something huge back to a company. Fortunately they’re providing the shipping label.
If they can’t fix it I believe I’m on a one year warranty still, so hopefully they replace it.
Just less than six months on such a high quality expensive monitor. Shameful. I’m not asking for much except a working high quality item I purchased working like it should, and I’m being as reasonable as I can be. Make it right Samsung and I’ll revise this review.
NEW 12/13/2024: The Rep who said to ship it back said another Rep would get back to me with details in a couple of days. Nobody ever contacted me, and the Rep himself was very snarky and belittling as if somehow this was my fault. Need to call back again, but I’m getting the feeling that Samsung is taking a knee and running out the clock on the warranty, leaving me out over $900. This is not right, it’s not good, it’s not fair of a multi billion dollar company to rip people off like this and I’m highly upset, and to top it off, they basically put all the onus on me to find some kind of mega box to ship it back in (good luck with that folks) and then don’t send a shipping label or contact me with a follow up. NOT GOOD!
Last Update: True to form, Samsung ran out the clock on the warranty. I have a dead monitor that cost me $900 sitting in the garage, and it’s so “new” that you can’t find a power supply for it yet. See others reporting this. Lowering this to 1 star, and wish I could give a negative star. Never doing business with Samsung regarding their monitors ever again, and they clearly don’t care nor do they care about the many others reporting the same thing.

Incredible ultrawide monitor. I might not be the best judge considering this was my first ultrawide but it is absolutely incredible to game on. Great latency. Simple to assemble. Lots of great connectors.

Excellent color, easy to setup, great for work or gaming. I use it for both work and gaming and I’m very happy with the resolution. The curvature provides more in depth feel when using it for gaming. This is a great monitor and I’d recommend it to friends and family.
