Coming from the 34 Alienware oled I thought I had the best, I pull the trigger n got this bad boy n boy I tell you what there’s no going back, I mainly play WOW, n the elder scrolls online, game changing no regrets on my end, pc specs not the best 3090 5950x but it gets the job done. YOLO GUYS TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED

Amazing review. I'll be getting this. Thanks for the great content, brother.

I have zero issue with the bars on the sides. This is a great monitor.

I ordered the non-smart version of this monitor and it should arrive tomorrow. Im extremely exited to test it. For me, the only choices I considered where the OLED G9 or the NEO G9 because i had the Samsung 49" 32:9 1080p QLED Gaming monitor for 4 years now and i cant imagine playing on a non 32:9 monitor.

Your setup is always clean bro. Another great review. Appreciate you man!

[Kuratz]

Finally a proper review (real and clear - the reason people want to see reviews). Thank you. Good work.

[DRGNBLLZDEEP]

Yo man have you thought about doing playthroughs of games from start to finish? Would be awesome to see your reactions and the type of games you are into.

[TheWildBois]

Great review dude, appreciate you showing proper gameplay footage.

I URGENTLY!!!! advice you to change that Monitor Arm that you are using on that video. There is a plastic union section inside the head turn gear that moves the monitor UP, DOWN… That plastic union breaks in time. Mine lasted a year an a half. Once it broke my monitor (Samsung Neo G9) fell on to my desk facing down.

It dented my Razerblade and also my iPad Pro screen since it fell on top of them.

I replaced the Arm with a different brand thats much more sturdy: “ERGOTRON HX Desk Monitor Arm” that one has no plastic cheap parts.

Is more expensive but its a better quality. Do it before you scratch that OLED monitor.

I'm enjoying its 57" G9 bigger brother 😎👍

I like the idea of ultrawide monitors but for everyday use a potential eye strain, I want Samsung to keep producing a new version UltraView. Games hmm Halo 2 - Horizon - or even VR

[galaxiedance]

Hopefully soon they'll have Micro LED panels, so small that they can also be used for each pixel. That would be ideal, bright, perfect contrast and no burn in! Whoever gets there first will have a lot of buyers!

[seansotir]

If there is a solution to use the monitor for games that do not support super wide as windowed borderless to stay on the middle of the screen and use the sides as "secondary monitors" would be insane. I think that would improve the sales a lot. I would buy one right now and get rid of both of my monitors.

FYI: You can enable GSYNC on this monitor...

[peterkoh]

Great review and covered many aspects.. worthy of the 210k subscribers! Should be more !

[Rayman]

Need to wait for Rtings to measure brightness, HDR400 doesn’t seem impressive considering the G8 OLED has an HDR10 mode.

[AdioAurel]

I bet Samsung has the tech already, to release the OLED G9 with a 1000R Curve, but they're holding it back, so they have something new to release next year lol.
Either way, I wonder how often this happens in corporate decisions.

[divinium]

You shoulda waited or maybe researched a bit more when it comes to upcoming monitors, you mentioned in the vid that you wanted a 1000R curve super ultra wide which was like 2x 4k monitors side by side, which Samsung are actually releasing the end of this month or next month, the Samsung odyssey G9 57”. It’s not oled but it’s bigger and has a matte finishing.

[Kentaku]

Really enjoying my G9 OLED so far. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm planning on using it for 99% gaming but the OLED burn in does worry me a little bit and I'm surprised you didnt touch on that. Great video though
