Thank you!

Thanks man! It'll be a nice upgrade for sure

Thank you! I have not unfortunately, I usually use headphones and not too knowledgeable about sound systems atm

Appreciate it!

Hope the HDMI helps! Just to confirm that was causing the issue I ended up buying a new more expensive display port cable and the glitches were still happening so I can say for sure its the DP for me at least

Thanks!

@Chettystudios I have a question that I think you are well suited to answer. I am looking for a monitor to maximize my monitor real estate, but virtually all of the use would be for productivity. I oversee research and often need 4-6 windows open at once in order to be maximally efficient. Whereas I can say money is no object, spending senselessly is a waste. For instance, I don’t need to 240hz refresh. But, in addition to the 49” screen size, the larger curve is great, especially as I get older (my current monitor makes me stretch to see the ends of the monitor clearly) and I see this monitor may have the most pronounced curve for 49”. I am moderately comfortable with tech and can change settings easily, but don’t have a spare week to spend dozens of hours to get this running. Any thoughts you have on the application of this monitor to my needs would be greatly appreciated. I won’t hold anything against you for anything that goes different for me! Many thanks. I should not that I am using a MacBook Pro M3 with an Echo 20 Thunderbolt 4 Superdock.

​@@Dr_Cole I would say this is probably not the best option considering, as you stated, a lot of what you're paying for is the high refresh rate and "gaming" features so I would rather look into some non-oled ultra wides (especially for productivity work, OLED can be a bit of an eye strain for some due to the subpixel layout causing text fringing). LG has quite a solid reputation for quality and a great productivity lineup such as their LG 40WP95C-W for example. There aren't a ton of ultrawides with the 1800r curve out there unfortunately, but with something like the 40in by LG previously mentioned, it isn't as wide, but its taller, so you wouldn't have to move your head side to side as much since there would be more vertical screen real-estate. That one also is marketed as having great compatibility with thunderbolt, although some of the reviews on the LG website state otherwise, so I would definitely check out some KZfaq reviews and see how it fairs in the hands of somebody with hands on experience.

@@chettystudios this is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Thank you! Hope you love the monitor!

Thank you! I would love to in the future. It was on the top of my list when shopping for a new monitor I just really wanted the highest PPI possible which is why I chose this, but that was my number 2 choice, so I can definitely see it being worth trying in the future!

Appreciate it dude!!

Appreciate it!

Thank you! Huge tip!

HDR is trash tech anyways anyone with half a brain knows this. Just stick to SDR and properly set your display up...

noted!

thx, that drives me crazy 😢

I hate it when creators stitch their thoughts together like this in post. I realise you might be trying to cut out "empty space" but the cuts are jarring.

Agreed, it’s not good.

​@chettystudios how about 16:9 x 16:9 as of they were both separate w Monitors? That works all the time?

Thanks! I'm currently using the LG 34" Ultragear 3440 x 1440 IPS pannel for work and I love it (exact model:34GP83A-B) but I haven't tried any others. My reason for choosing this one was: on sale it's at a very competitive price, has fast response time with little ghosting, 144hz, 1440p resolution, and again all for a very reasonable price if you can catch it on sale

If it helps 3 weeks later of not looking at 4k the thought barely even crosses my mind, far less noticeable now that I've adjusted back to 1440.

@@chettystudios good to hear! I don’t have access to a 109 ppi display and have watched SO many odyssey g9 reviews hoping someone would be in the same position as myself

Thanks! The white one is the higround snowstone

Will definitely have to try Doom Eternal! And thanks for the 10% calculation, will make it much easier in the future to judge how well a game will run since many reviews don't show 32:9 tests

it could be that tbh but Samsung are known to have awful QC so it also wouldn't be surprising if its just an issue with the monitor. I know of far to many people who have had to send back the G9, Neo G9 ( heck even the G7, 8 and their neo counter parts ) multiple times before either giving up or getting one that isn't a piece of trash. Its a huge reason I wont buy them at the very high end, they 1) don't offer anything over anyone else and 2) they have the worst QC possible.

Thank you really appreciate it!

Thanks for watching! Agreed, hopefully in the future they'll either pull it together with their QC or other companies will start to hop on the 32:9 train with a better track record. Enjoy the monitor!

Samsung is the only manufacturer that makes QDOLED tech, no matter who makes them they are still samsung panels.

@taw317 how did the neo compare to the oled for you? Thinking about upgrading from the G9 to neo or Oled atm.

All that matters is oled. LED in 2023 is pointless.@@SolarianN2

​@@SolarianN2 There a lot of great, detailed reviews out there (such as this one, The Display Guy, etc.), so I'll try to give you more of my big takeaways comparing the two. The OLED vs. Mini LED panel is noticeable out of the box. No blooming in high contrast scenes, better build quality (lighter/sturdier and zero QC/firmware issues on mine), and even at the same frame rates, everything looks smoother thanks to the much faster response times. If you can control the lighting in your space, the glossy screen coating is MUCH better than the matte one the Neo has. Colors jump off the screen and the contrast in every detail is amazing. The downsides are overall brightness, with the Neo having better overall peak and full panel brightness. The OLED also really exposes bad HDR implementations in games since you can tell if the devs didn't do their work to get true black levels or give proper sliders to adjust everything. The Neo gets around this a bit by being bright all the time. I would recommend the Neo as a productivity monitor to avoid burn-in, but the OLED takes the cake in games. With the big price drops right now, and if you can afford to replace it sooner than you would the Neo, I would go for the OLED. Buy it from a trusted shop for easy returns in case you run into issues. If there are any other questions I can answer, let me know!

Congrats and thanks!

Thanks! And I agree, USB-C for display would make this 10x better

Glad you’re enjoying it! Haven’t had any issues myself with wallpaper engine (yet) so could be a hidden setting somewhere in there but I’ll keep an eye out for any fixes!

please share your config, as I'm being anoyyed with the colors... feel that my previous 34" LCD looked better..

The latest windows update fixed this issue for me. I figured that was the case. But if you did try to find any fixes I appreciate it.@@chettystudios

Brightness: 50 Contrast: 50 Sharpness: 14 Color: 30 Tint: 0 Contrast Enhancer: High HDR Tone Mapping: Active Color Tone: Standard HDR10+ Gaming: Advanced Game HDR: Advanced @@mcdcello

@@NTStudioslooks nice, but color still not correct, do I need to do the ICC profile from the display guy? RTINGS site states they don't recommend it : /

Been thinking about the regular one for work myself, seems like a solid solution to dual 27" monitors

Could you explain what you mean by "and with it not being OLED, it's fantastic for productivity".

@@MrNewff a big issue with doing productivity work on OLED is the worry of static elements causing burn in, so for some people who work with static elements all day an OLED could have un-even wear much more easily than a non-OLED

​@@chettystudiosOh yeah makes sense. Thanks

@@chettystudiosalso clear text still doesn’t look as good as a native rgb monitor and I don’t think macOS has clear text

thanks!

Thats awesome! Curious which connection you're using, HDMI or DP?

Appreciate it and noted! Still trying to nail down the sound

Seems like that 57in was made for you then!

Seems much more reliable than the OLED version, still trying to figure out the black screen flickers atm but I’ll keep this one in mind for the future if the OLED keeps acting up

3440:1440 is the equivalent setting on this monitor for 21:9

Good to know thanks! Eases my mind a bit for sure

I had the same issue as well. I think it was a mismatch between VRR on the monitor and G-Sync in control panel

Turn off gsync for windowed mode. Turn on VRR Set GPU to Maximum Performance If you continue to have black/blinking screen issues, it is 100% you cable unless the monitor is acutally faulty.

They are on his Patreon, it's $1 to sign up for a month so I just signed up for one month to get the settings then unsubscribed

Been doing all the hex editing myself and although not difficult it's definitely daunting, super helpful thanks!

Which cable have you settled on?

which cable are you using ?

Totally, been seeing lots of people upgrading to OLED rather than upgrading components lately and seem really happy with their choice

Thanks! I definitely notice the difference looking at text and within apps, scrolling the internet, etc. but when actually gaming it's unnoticeable especially after a few weeks of giving my eyes time to adjust.

It's barely noticeable going from 1440p to 4k in games, especially so if you apply the Nvidia sharpening filter.

This is literally unreadable, please use punctuation instead of spouting out your brain's farts.

If your plan is to also use for work the regular non-OLED would definitely be a much better option

Thank you! Deleted all the extra apps off of the smart hub and no black screens recently but if they return I will give this a shot!

Appreciate it! I can definitely see the appeal for OLED (I mean I did buy one after all) I think I may have just hyped it up too much in my mind before buying. But after a few weeks I can see myself having a tough time going back to IPS. Hopefully in the future we’ll see companies put more effort into QC

Definitely, that's how I've been using it. They also have a version without the OS but it doesn't come with a remote

@@chettystudios Thank you! Sounds like that's the version I should look for as I just want a "dumb" monitor.

Either will work, HDMI 2.1 will allow you to use 240hz it’s the older HDMI’s that limit to 120, but with a 4090 you will be fine. You can always try DP first, and if having issues switch to HDMI 2.1, but both will gave you the same performance, it’s just some of these monitors don’t play well with DP

Thanks! a.co/d/jhswPpc

@@chettystudios thanks , does it run 240 hz ?

yeah@@maxpayne5546

When I had the original G9, 32:9 support wasn't the issue. The issue is that basically every 3d game stretches the image on the edge of the screen. Lowering the FOV slightly helps, but there is just no way around it. 21:9 even had higher fovs does not have this problem. I honestly doubt this will ever get fixed by game developers due to the niche audience of 32:9 displays.

I don't think this will be fixed soon since for most people UWD is already perfect and more screen isn't needed then so it will stay a niche Better get a 4k screen with 16:9 res its better

4k at smaller screen sizes is pointless its better for larger tvs. Ultrawide is the better gaming experience@@kleinfeicht

I'll try it out thanks! I've seen others having issues with WE as well lately

I did and it is for HDR, but tbh the biggest change was settings, I didn’t notice a huge difference with the ICC profile

thanks, idk about you but im getting a really bad screen flicker. it only happens with my pc. not sure if i should try and send it back and keep looking for a solution. im on display port at 240hz. do you think hdmi 2.1 would help?@@chettystudios

@@chettystudios You shouldn't use anyone elses ICC profile. It's only relevant to the monitor that the colorimeter was used on.

This! Meant to mention in the video but it's mentioned on his website so people should see when directed there @@Phil_529

I should have said most games I've tried, not most games in general. Starfield, Overwatch, Little Nightmares, Hollow Knight, and Ori and the Blind Forest were the games I had download and was playing at the time of the video and none worked natively with 32:9. Everybody plays different games and its always best to just check the compatibility. My point was that usually when buying a monitor, you don't have to check to make sure the games you play are supported, with this you should factor that in.

appreciate it!

I have the same problem with my screen going black for a few seconds alt tabbing, but I have a LG OLED that I run. Seems just like a HDR problem on windows

Yes! It was my HDMI cord. I switched to a shorter newer one and it works flawless now. Make sure its HDMI 2.1 and shorter than 15ft

Glad to hear some feedback on the G93, originally this is the one I would have bought since the "smart features" seem to be kind of redundant on a monitor that will be connected to a PC, but at the time of purchase it was actually more expensive than G95. Do you think the jog wheel issues are worth the money saved for anybody looking to choose between the two?

@@chettystudios 2 weeks after purchase I can tell that I got used to the jog. My only issue is, that also the menu of the G93 is different, so the settings provided by display guy on the G95 can not be adjusted 100% on the G93 :)

I haven't tried it personally yet, but from what I understand that is how it works

I believe its in the "game mode" settings if you are already in game mode, and hold the play/pause button on the remote, navigate to game mode settings you should find it there

Seems like hdmi is the way to go, I ended up picking up a brand new DP just to see if there were any issues and although not as bad as my first one, it did have some weird artifacting

@chettystudios yeah I get the same with DP the Samsung cable and one I bought. Had the monitor about 2 weeks hopefully be able to enjoy it soon instead of looking for faults.

@@chrisvenn Not gunna lie did take me a couple weeks to stop looking for faults but really enjoying it now, Alan Wake 2 looks absolutely stunning, best of luck!

@chettystudios cheers, picked up Alan wake 2 on the series X as wasnt on steam but got 65inch s95b oled for xbox

To access with the remote you press and hold the play/pause button

@@chettystudios Thanks for the reply. I tried and it didnt work

@@chettystudios Ok...heres the issue. I'm connecting to the monitor via DP cable. In order to do that, I had to turn off GAME MODE. When I turn on GAME MODE, DP connection doesn't work. But when I'm in GAME MODE, I hold the PLAY button and the GAME HUB popos up...just no feed from the computer

@@jessediaz918 super strange. It sounds like either the GPU or the cable aren’t allowing you to display at 1440p 240hz hence why it will only work in non-game mode. If you have one I would try another cable, and if not see if you can change the display resolution to 240 in windows display settings manually

@@chettystudios Thanks for the response. Ill mess around and see what I can some up with. BUt other than that, I love the monitor

I haven't tried but I would assume it would work exactly how you described.

I'd recommend a KVM switch for that. Depending on how many inputs (and the types of inputs), they are between $40 and $100+. The one I am using has inputs for 2 PC's/Mac's, for HDMI and DP. This way, I can use 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse, for 2 PC's. I just hit a button on the KVM to change the source.

the way i solved is was to connect the devices as described above. I use a kvm switch to switch mouse, laptop and rgb desk matt between laptop and PC@@joshuabray37

Yeah I actually just released a video Friday with all recommended settings along with some trouble shooting tips. If you're interested in any in particular you can scrub to them on the timeline

This sounds like a power brick problem. If He's tried it on different power outlets with the same issue I would reach out to Samsung and hopefully they could provide a new power brick

Interesting did not know this!

G8 Ultrawide has also a glossy panel

I would contact Samsung then, most of my problems were fixed with better cables but it always worked with the cables in the box. Only other issue could be inadequate power if you have a lot of things plugged into the same circuit

Nah lol 200fps frame time is 5ms and 165fps frame time is 6ms so it’s not a big difference

It's a hub for usb devices. Not a display connection.

@willuigi64 but it has the display symbol on the port like how an hdmi or dp has 😵‍💫

@@Mrgunslingerson where does it show that? Samsung themselves say it’s only a hub. Every review I’ve seen has it as a usb hub.

@willuigi64 yea nvm your right, my interpretation of what a usb hub does was off. I have a work station/hub on my desk that displays my laptop on the monitor.

I've heard this from others as well, I'm guessing it's just a weird calibration on some

Ofc

ok @@maxtriess884

I’ve double checked the drivers and unfortunately it’s not that, for some odd reason if I turn the monitor on, game until it happens, then turn it off for a minute it goes away for the rest of the night so only thing I can chalk it up to is maybe it’s trying to do a pixel refresh of some sort and turning it off gives it a chance to do its thing

Definitely on my wishlist for a productivity monitor once all the issues are fixed

I have the g93sc, I don't have such problems in mine.

I've still gotten them with gsync off but recently I deleted all the extra apps off of the smart hub (some are un-deletable unfortunately like Netflix) as well as "clearing cache" of monitor and haven't gotten any flickering screens so far

@@chettystudiosDamn, looks like the g95SC has a lot of problems. I’m glad I went with the G93SC.

I think there's a difference between the output of m1 and m2 and depending on which model you have you'll either need DisplayPort or HDMI to USB-C, but I would double check just to make sure

I have a 2019 Macbook Pro. I used the highest speed DisplayPort to USB-C cable I could find (I think I paid like $20 on Amazon). It makes a world of difference. Using HDMI to USB-C at the highest resolution was FUZZY/BLURRY. With the DisplayPort to USB-C, it was MUCH better.

Turn off GSync/VRR

Ever get it fixed? Mine arrive monday

@@paleofolk surprisingly it went away by itself, i dont know if the screen had to reset or what but one day after i had turned off for the day I came back, turned it on and it was back to normal. Still not sure what happened but I ended up with a few dead pixels a bit after so I ended up getting a replacement screen installed with the warranty and since then the new screen has been great. These monitors are great but it seems like there’s definitely some QC issues with these newer Samsung panels

Personally I prefer playing competitive style games in 16x9 but totally get wanting to use the whole monitor, I'm just anal about trying to get the maximum amount of frames as possible when playing "competitively"

Yeah there’s quite a few versions of both, but the newest non-OLED is QLED

valid
