I can't believe NVIDIA didn't give us the required port to take advantage of their flagship product. What a letdown!

Hey Austin, nice review! I'm considering this for work especially, and I often use dark mode or grey themes, so your video-editing segment 11:34 is spot on for me. Could you please write in the comments if the grey background of the video editing tool is uniform and if there's noticeable backlight bleed that moves around when you move your head just a little bit? From the video it appears that way, but light reflection from behind you makes it hard to discern. I use Odyssey G7 which is amazing for it's fast refresh, motion clarity and good colours, but the constant shifting of backlight bleed when using dark mode drives me mad.

You should stop using the term "8K" when talking about it, its a 2160P (aka 4K) display with 8000 ish pixels across, there is a major difference with PPI if this was "8K" display.

Which screws did you get for that wall mount black peace that came with the box? it does not come with the box like the regular 49 inch.

what stand was used for this monitor ? thanks. I'm running this monitor on Star citizen , BF4 , Mw3 on a 3090ti monitor is set to 240hz , 1.4 DP , DP 1.4 cable , Turn off HDR , adaptive sync on , Change your settings in windows as well , all @ 5120 x 1440p

So if I have a ps5(hdmi) and my pc (Dp) connected only the pc side will be 120 hz in Pbp mode?

you tested on extreme response time setting the only way to change it to that is to turn off adaptive sync

Thanks, I had my Monitor sitting at BestBuy waiting for pickup. I've been on the fence but after seeing your video I just canceled. I'll stick with my Alienware OLED for now.

The Neo G9 49" can be set up to work as a 16:9 monitor in the menu. Is that not the case for the 57" Version?

What's the name of the first blue hexagon wallpaper? can't find in wallpaper engine

I believe you have to get the 7900XTX to utilize the ultra wide at 240hz, I guess it already has the right software or something but I've seen youtubers showing that. Honestly, it sounds like the perfect monitor for a 5090 for ultrawide gaming.

Hey can you set the aspect ratio to 16:9 and turn on 7680x2160 (8k) ? When u showed us the settings it seemed like that was avail to you. Why not do that?

So I am no expert in specs but if I get this monitor, I wouldn’t be able to play GTA V Full graphics at max resolution 5k at 240fps because the 4090 doesn’t support it? I have an intel i9 14900kf, 4090 alienware. And max fps I can get COD running is 120fps? with black bars at both sides and if i put it PBP, streamlabs one side 60fps and cod on next side i can get only up to 120fps at nice graphics?

Hi Austin, bad news for you regarding DSC (display stream compression). Driving 7680×2160 @240 Hz requires about 96Gbps (8-bit) or ~120Gbps (HDR) bandwidth, but latest DisplayPort 2.1 has maximum throughput of 80GBps (~77Gbps real data transfer rate). So it is unfortunately not possible to use full potential of this monitor without DSC compression enabled.

I feel you. I had the Dell 49" (which was the first 49" afaik) pretty much since release and I finally replaced this monitor. I stopped playing any video games on my desk and I also started to prefer to work on my MacBook screen since this aspect ratio is absolutely not for me. I bought it for productivity since the panel is not really made for gaming but I hated to game on this thing since I always felt the aspect ratio is much worse for gaming, it's also really taxing on the hardware and games (expect sim racing) were not really optimized for this aspect ratio. And to be brutally honest: I also hated the monitor for productivity. It was just too big. I had to turn my head, the number of windows and stuff on the screen was overwhelming to say the least. My second to last Mac Book had no native support for the aspect ratio and while you could potentially display a shit ton of information: I always felt that a 34" ultra wide is a much better sweetspot since you can absorb all the information on your screen without physically moving your head. I know switched to an an Oled G8, I use the dell for my sim rig now when not playing in VR and I'm so happy that I never have to go back to this 49" mess.

13:10 Difference dynamic HDR vs Static HDR ? And DP 1.4 can do 240 HZ on 1440p mode ?

is it possible with the g9 qhd 240hz to get 240 hz with call of duty in the middle? and have discord left and twitch right ???

This monitor is really nice but the picture-by-picture mode being 60hz only is a tough sell for me. Most games won't even come close to the advertised 240Hz in dual 4K. Hell, you won't get that at single 4K. Plus, a lot of games don't do well at all with 32:9. It seems incredible for productivity and desktop tasks, but the assumption here is that you'll be buying this to ditch a multi monitor setup. If I have to pull out another monitor to game comfortably half the time I'd be better served elsewhere.

So with HDMI 2.1, no 120hz on PBP mode, however, DisplayPort 1.4 will allow 120hz on PBP. Other side will run 60hz

if i want play for example league of legends on this monitor 16.9 monitor is able show me 4K 240hz ?

Hi, Austin. Where did you find that live dark hole wallpaper?

Can you please share what desk mount you are using for the Neo G9 57"

Lovely monitor, I have the 5120 1440 49 inch version and a 4090 which is the best combo at the moment, I run around 80-100 fps on max settings in most games which I find adequate

As far as I know, DSC doesn’t alter image quality at all. What do you base the comment that you made about DSC degrading image quality on?

where do I get the black hole wallpaper?

5:05 You might need to create a custom resolution in nvidia control panel to get 3840x2160, don't know how you would do it on an AMD card.

Which mounting arm are you using?

Can you try the latest firmware? I heard it can do split screen for 3 input sources simultaneously.

Thank you for presenting your views on this monitor. TBH, you have convinced me to not purchase this monitor even though it is lately available for a mere (cough, cough) $2000US.

could a 4090 even get to over 120 on most games on that screen?

hello , i have a question can i play my games 16.9 3840x2160 240hz with my 4090 ? and 16.9 spect ratio show us 32 inch or 27 ?

Amazing review. Where did you download the wallpapers, what kind of stand/ arm are you using and what are the cables you're using?

what monitor arm are you using

I'm curious to see how much fps on starfield, I have trouble getting 70 fps with a 3080 in1440!

Is the image quality differance very big vs OLED ?

When you were talking about the first game, you are kind of incorrect with your explanation. It's not just 16:9 but stretched, it's the FOV that the game developer integrated that gives you that warped effect. You do get more visual information on a 32:9 aspect ratio monitor compared to a standard display. Also, when you do picture in picture: on this specific model you are limited to 60 hz on one side, and 120 hertz on the other. It's unfortunate, but at least you still have a choice of having one of your screens as a high refresh rate one to use for gaming while having another source attached to the opposite side of the screen

which mount did you use?

For this monitor. I'm pushing 240 Hz on 5k. Water cooled 4080 and Intel 13 gen. 3 rads(top, bottom and back panel).

Here i have never went passed a 24 inch benQ xl2411P and you are here rocking a 57 inch ultrawide. If this was my next monitor I think I would have a shrine around it worshipping it LOL! Just bought a 34 inch ultrawide from gigabyte that should be here soon hopefully...never even knew they had these ultrawide monitors or I would have got one ions ago (yes, I don't pay attention to these things).

ironic for what is pitched as a gaming monitor, that your issues where all on how it performs on games.....& for productivity, it was great!

Was your bolts not in the monitor stand?

I have the 3080 with the 49" Samsung G9 Neo. I prefer it much more than the 4k monitor I had for a while and over the Predator 38" wide monitor as well, not only for productivity but also for games. Still have the Diablo 4 issue with bars on the sides but that's because it only supports up to 16:9. I think the 49" is more reasonable for people wanting to max the graphics for newer games with a 4090/4080. I have some of the less demanding games like Baldur's Gate 3 maxed with my 3080, but that game doesn't need 120fps+.

Why not using the display port 1.4?

Since you're so balled, I'll happily take it off your hands :) send it my way bud

The matte screen makes this look like a cataract simulator 😀

I own a 57 samsung to fix the streching u have to change aspect ratio to 32x9 then change field of view to 120 and to run 4k 120htz use hdmi 2.1 and u can run smooth till they give us graphics cards that can run dp 4k 240htz this monitor is future proof

The supplied stand is poorly designed. That sharp angle of the forward legs is dumb, they should curve around from the center to give more space underneath the center of the display.

Strange I have the monitor and played on it Resident Evil 7 🤔, I have a 4090

Excellent insight; that was very helpful. You made me re-consider this monitor.

Bro I feel like these issues are not a big deal. And it's kind of expected from a dual 4k monitor. I admire Samsung that they launched something like this and it's gonna push other brands like LG to do the same.

I'd prefer the Odyssey Ark over this. 4k, 165hz, 55 inches, better view vertically and is easier to find on the used market for pretty decent prices.

great

Since it has only one HDMI PORT..My ps5 is to connected to the monitor, im using DP port cable for my laptop to the monitor but isnt displaying when i turn on the pbp... any suggestion or idea?

Thanks you saved me the trouble of buying it witch would have ended up me going true the hasle of returning it

Respectfully, I find this video click baity. I’d downvote it but I don’t want to. All the reasons you gave are not Samsungs fault. When you use such titles, you make the product look bad when indeed, it’s all your fault/preference. A 4090 not being able to do 240Hz is not the Samsungs fault. The people who get this monitor are doing it for future proofing. They know the nvidia gpu limitation. Your small desk is not Samsungs fault. Your preference for oled is not the monitors fault. The difference in display technologies is well documented. You want better colours, go oled. You want higher brightness, you go Mini led. I kinda feel all these reasons are ones most buyers know ahead of making a purchase.

I remember back in the day, I use to pwn boys nonstop at 60hz on Goodwill thrift store monitors on an old AMD X2 3800. Probably helped that I was running the game server only 8 feet away from me. Perks of being a game developer and computer programmer. Designing the game was the play and the game for me. Actually playing the game was just play testing in real time with handy human targets in the game. If everything worked as expected, you went back to tweaking or creating as the Goddess Level Lord. Now adays kids got so much money, but couldn't hack their way out of a paper bag.

Note to self: learn about reviewing a monitor before reviewing said monitor in other words use it first learn it first, then review it you can get 4k putting it in the center on every game

So I need to add something here regarding the use of this monitor with HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4, and getting 240hz at 4K or the half 8K this monitor is. Supposedly with DSC (Display Stream Compression, you CAN run 240hz with 4090. I do not have this monitor anymore, so I cannot test this. However, since this is a compression (lossless or not), it “to me” is NOT a native 4K image. It’s doing some weird magical ju-ju, software witchcraft to let you do this. For professional use, this is not recommended. If you’re just the average gamer who needs a massive display like this, sure.. go for it. With that, I stand by what I say still. This monitor will not run TRUE native 4K on a 4090 at 240hz. Only a possibility with DSC enabled. If someone wants to make a video of this, with a 4090, running a game at 240hz 4K on this monitor DSC or not, please tag me in the video or include video link. Ill check it out and if it’s legit, ill make an update video and give said person a shout on it, and link their video for credit.

I have asus rog strix 4090 oc edition, and it has 2.1a hdmi

Can i leave the plastic to get a GLOSSY screen? 😂

Everything is wrong in this video

Hey good video the one thing that's really not correct its on the min 4 when you talk you cant get the 4k experience that you really want. Thats really not a problem because to start with the monitor isnt a true 4k monitor but 2 QHD monitors attached together making the resolution of 5120 x 1440 and maintaining 240 hz refresh rate.

skill issue
