49” Odyssey G9 Series DQHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, 1ms(GtG), VESA DisplayHDR 1000, 240Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Height Adjustable Stand, Ultrawide Screen, LS49CG954ENXZA, 2024

I got this on sale a few years back. Some items I wait to put feedback on, this went longer than expected. The quality is great. Has great connection options. Setup was a breeze. The settings and picture quality including the brightness is far none the best monitor I have gamed with.

Good curved monitor for work. I was tired of working with two curved displays that had a visual partition in the middle where I joined them together. This monitor provides the same screen options without that partition. In fact, I can get more window sizing options more easily with this new curved monitor. The refresh rate and display on this are fantastic. It has helped me signficantly for my office work. My only complaint is that it is too wide and I would prefer a slightly smaller width. This is not an issue with the product as its size is clearly stated, just my personal opinion. Good value for the money and I do not regret purchasing it.

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.

This monitor is breathtaking. The 49" ultrawide curved display completely immerses you in games and makes multitasking a breeze. Colors are vibrant, HDR looks incredible, and the 240Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time makes everything buttery smooth. Build quality is top-notch, the stand is solid and adjustable, and setup was simple. Whether for gaming, work, or media, this monitor delivers an unmatched experience. Worth every penny!

Running this as my home gaming and personal workstation monitor and it's been a significant upgrade. The 1000R curve on 49 inches is aggressive enough that it actually wraps your peripheral vision rather than just being a flat screen that's wide -- you feel it in games especially. 240Hz is noticeably smoother than what I was coming from. Combined with the 1ms response and FreeSync Premium Pro, fast-paced games feel genuinely different. No ghosting issues, motion clarity is excellent. The 1000 nit peak brightness and contrast ratio are where this panel earns its price. HDR content looks legitimately good -- shadows have depth, highlights don't blow out. I was skeptical about the specs on paper but in use it delivers. CoreSync ambient lighting is a gimmick I thought I'd turn off immediately and haven't. It actually adds to immersion in a dark room without being distracting. Stand is solid -- height, tilt, and swivel all adjust smoothly and hold position. VESA compatible if you want an arm instead. I got it on sale for black friday way below the current price (was $700) and have absolutely no regrets. I have 2x Dell U492DW 49inch monitors at work and they are $1500 each. This was half the price and feels identical in quality. Check out the curve before you buy, this is noticeably more curved than I anticipated, but honestly I think I prefer such for home use.
